Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson, to head OF agitation

associations have been bombarding
congress for an amendment to the
food law which fixed the price for the
1918 crop at 81 a bushel. Senator Gore
recently reported favorably from the
committee on agriculture a resolution
amending che law by stipuladng a
minimum price Of $3.50 bushel.

ARMY'S LEADER
LAUDS WOMEN
PERSHING is GLAD TO GET
GARMENTS MADE BY RED
CROSS WORKERS
[By Associated Press staff


With the American Army in France
Feb. 25.-A cablegram Just forwarded
to the surgeon general at Washington
mentions the great value of the gar
ments volunteer Red Cross workers
are making in the United States for
the American expeditionary forces
The message contains General Per.
shings appreciation of the work done
1t recommends that the medical de-
partment accept an offer of 100000
conyalescent uniforms which have
been made by American women.
General Pershing calls attention to
the fact that the medical department
is buying great quantities Of pajamas,
operating gowns, bath robes and con.
valescent suits in the open market
when the Red Cross has offered to
supply the articles gratis. This is
likely to result in duplication of the
supply and an unnecessary demand
for tonnage.
General Pershing said the work
done by American women is of ser.
vice in promoting the morale Of the
army and also is of value because it
releases commercial labor for other
purposes.

1903 PERISH WHEN
ROCKS WRECK SHIP
Continued From Page ~

Captain w. J. Martin, sought to rount
Cape Race yesterday morning on his
voyage from here to Halifax and New
York. Apparently, however, he mis-
judged his position, for the Florize
rushed on the jagged rocks Of Broad
Cove, on the east side OF the islands
north of the cape.
STORM MENAcEs REscUERS
The region is uninhabited and
means of rescue were not available
One wireless message said the steam
er was rapidly breaking up and moth
ing more was heard until rescue par
ties reached the scene. These report
ed boats could not be- used and
expressed doubt if any on board could
be saved. Through the day reports
came that the ship was going to pieces
and that her after decks were sub
merged.
The Florizel, queen Of Newfoundland
boats, was owned by the New York
Newfoundland and Halifax Steamship
company, known as the Red Cross
line. Built in 1909 at Glasgow, with
sloping sheathed bow reinforced by
concrete, she had been used in the
sealing trade and this winter had done
heroic service as an ice breaker In
New York harbor.
Among the passengers who EN-
barked at st. Johns were John Shan
non Mum, managing director of the
line, and his 3-year-old daughter; six
cadets of the Royal Flying corps: Ma
jor Michael Sullivan, commander Of
the Newfoundland forestry battalion
and number of prominent Newfound
land business men.
LIFE BOATS 'sWAMPED
Frantic efforts were made by rela
tives of the passengers aboard the
Florizel to learn the names of those
picked up by the Prospero. The first
message from that vessel, stating that
at least forty persons were waiting tc
be rescued, held out hope that others
might be saved
Although the sea today was not as
rough as it was when the steamer
struck on the rocks, reports indicated
that rescue work was extremely dan
gerous. The Florizel's wireless was
wrecked, fires were out and the ship
helpless and at the mercy of the
waves, offered little protection against
the cold and the fury of the elements.
Many of those lost yesterday had at
tempted to reach shore in small boats
which were tossed about and swampesl
almost in sight of men and women
watching from the bow of the Florizel
or from the rigging where a few had
climbed for safety. Others who had
taken refuge in the forecastle were
driven out when that part Of the ship
was battered in. Reports last night
accounted for seven bodies washed
ashore.

MEXICAN BAND
KILLS "GRINGO''
-FOUR AMERICANS ON OIL BOAT
ARE ATTACKED BY
OUTLAWS.

Washington, d. c., Fep. 25.-One
American was killed and three wound
ed in an attack by Mexican bandits
on an oil boat at Tampico Wednesday.
The names of the Americans were
not included in the brief report re-
ceived today by the state department.
Officials, however, regarded the in.
cident as a case of robbery rather
than an outburst of anti-American
feeling. The boat attacked was car
rying money, probably in the Panuco
river or one Of the island lagoons. SO
far as known the bandits were not
connected with any of the military
forces. The government has called
the incident to the attention OF the
Mexican government. r
Edgard House, a paymaster for the
Texas Oil company. was killed. The
wounded are: j. P. 8. Menette, DR.,
Brisbane, an employee OF the Island
OIL & Transport company, and third
man named Prather. Mennett's wound
is serious.
Unofficial advices reaching here to-
day said the bandits got as much as
$4,000 from the American paymastcr
and that the Americans defended
themselves vigorously, wounding i've
Of the Mexicans.
The same advices said that in other
depredations on Americans last Fri
day $4,000 was taken from the cashier
Of an American company and that
American company's commissary at
San Geronimo had been rifed and
something less than $500 taken. Both
Carranza and rebel troops are in the
vicinity.
