PRESIDENT WILSON,
ADVANCES WHEAT PRICES
President Hopes That Advances Grant
ed Will Prevent Holding OF Wheat
And Stimulate Production

Washington-A price Of 1920 a
bushel-the same as for last years
crop-was fixed by President Wilson
for the coming seasons wheat yield.
The price is for No northern spring
wheat at Chicago, with scale Of diff
ferentials for other markets. The diff
ferentials differ to a slight extent
from those now operative and range
from minimum of So to a maximum
of $2.28
In fixing price now for the new
crop, which will not be harvested un-
til June, the president was believed
to have had two objects in view, The
first was to halt legislation pending
in congress to fix prices at from 1925
to So, and the other was to stimulate
spring planting.

FACING ABSOLUTE SUBJEC-
TON BOLSHEVIKI CHIEFS
BEG THE SLAVS TO FIGHT
Lenine And KryIenko Issue Appeal
For Real Revolutionary Army And
Urge People To Lay Waste

New York.-Facing absolute sub
lection at the hands of the advancing
Germans, the Russian premier and
commander-in-chief have taken what
steps they could to intimate at least
nominal defense against the invad-
ers of their country. Orders directing
that guerilla warfare be carried on
and placing Petrograd in a state of
seige, have been issued by Lenine
and Krylenko, and it is expected that
the Germans will meet with some re-
sistance before long.
That the Teutons can be temporari-
ly checked, however, Is doubted, even
in Petrograd. The Russian armys
debacle apparently is so complete that
there is no shadow of authority over
its units. Berlin reports that the first
Esthonian regiment has deserted in
a badly and offered its services to the
German commander who is operating
in the northermost Baltic province.
The Russian navy, too, is completely
and, while it is desired
to withdraw the warships from Reval
and Helsingfors to Kronstadt, it is be-
lieved that this operation is impossi-
BILE, in view of the disuse into which
the Baltic fleet has fallen. Only the
boats are in a seaworthy
condition, it is reported.

San Francisco.-Alleged plots OF the

son cattle and burn grain, farm hous-
es and lumber mills along the Pa

sion by Fritz Hagerman, alias Charles

according to a statement by officials
of the fire prevention bureau OF the

Hagerman confessed, the officials
said, that he had set fire last Sep
TENDER to a lumber mill in Lassen

was on his way back to the plant

Vast Captures Reported BY British


LOndon.-The British captures in
the past year included 1913 heavy how
tiers. So heavy guns, 437 field guns,

chine guns, James Ian MACPHERSON,
parliamentary under secretary for war,
said, in introducing the army esti-
mates in the house of commons Mr..
MACPHERSON said that the strength of
the German army was already far bet
ter on the western front than at any
previous period, and, although the al
lies at present are superior in men an6
guns, the balance might soon be in ia
vOr of the enemy. All ranks were con-
fident of their ability to hold their
own. British gun power had increased
by almost fifty per cent during the
past year and the army was doing ev-
erything possible to save tonnage.
These economics would save two mil
lions tonnage in the distant theaters
of the war this year.
