GHOST COMES BACK
TO SUE NEWSPAPER
JOHN ARMSTRONG CHANLER,
MILLIONAIRE, ESCAPED FROM
INSANE ASYLUM YEARS AGO.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The robust,
virile "ghost" of John Armstrong
Chaloner, millionaire, who was adj
judged insane by a New York court
twenty-five years ago, and later pro
nounced legally dead" by a sheriff
jury after bis escape from the Bloom
ingdale insane asylum, returned to
New York today after an absence of
twenty-five years, to prosecute suit
for alleged libel against a newspaper
here.
The ghost" who says he is still
dead" under the "Machiavellian
laws" of New York state, came to the
city from his home at Merrie Mills,
Va, where he has been held to be
both "alive' and sane, under a writ
of protection granted by federal
Judge Hand. This writ restraints New
York authorities from re-arresting
and committing him to BloomingdaIe
under the insanity judgment which
still stands against him.
Mr.. Chaloner, once a prominent
Wall street attorney, a brother of
Lewis Stuyvesant Chaloner, former
lieutenant governor of New York,
and great-grandson of John Jacob
Aston, said he found New York lit
tie changed since his sensational dis
appearance more than two decades
ago. He asserted he had no desire to
make his home here again as he did
not 'jibe" with high society,""
Mr.. Chaloner, formerly Chanler,
bad his name changed at the time
the Virginia courts pronounced him
sane, because of his belief that mem
bers of his family had brought about
his Incarceration.
Since his escape from Blooming
dale he has made persistent efforts
to have the insanity judgment against
him here invalidated in order that he
might regain a fortune of $1,5OO,OO0
of which he was deprived of at the
time of his commitment. This for
tune, however, still is withheld from
him.

FARMERS URGED TO GET
BEHIND VICTORY LOAN
President Barrett, of National Farm
ers' Union, Asks That They Make
Loan as Superb as War Crops.

ers' Union, Asks That They Make
Loan as Superb as War Crops.
Farmers throughout America are
urged by leaders of the farmers I'M
ions and cooperative association to
put their full force behind the Vic
tory liberty loan campaign April DIST
to May 10Th, in an effort to roll up
the largest subscription ever record
ed for government securities.
A statement addressed to 1.-The
farmers of America" and signed by
thirty-five association officials, includ-
ing Charles S. Barrett, of Union City,
Georgia, president of the National
Farmers Union, has just been issued.
The statement follows:
mo finer patriotic service was
ever rendered than when the farmers
of America, short of labor, credit
and farm supplies, still grew the in
creased crops without which we could
not have won the war. The farm wo-
men and children gave their labor in
the fields and the farms sent more
than a million of their best to Join
the colors. The more that is known
about the war the more gloriously
our farmers part in it will shine.
''The Victory liberty loan drive be-
gins April Dist and continues until
May 10th. We appeal to you, farm
ers OF America, to finish what YOU
have so well begun. Make this loan
as superb as the war crops you have
raised. See to it that the farmers
lead in putting the Victory loan over
the top.
make your participation in the
Victory liberty loan both in money
and service, the measure of your de-
votion to the great cause of demo-
cracy-the democracy for which
many of our boys have made the SUI
preme sacrifice. Let your subscrip-
ton and your effort be both an offer
ing of thanksgiving for the return of
peace and the means by which the
world may measure the strength of
your patriotism and your determine,
ton to see to it that the war shall
not have been fought in vain.

BIG WHEAT CROP AT
BUMPER COST TO U. S.
FORECAST OF ENORMOUS YIELD
AROUSES INTEREST. MAY COST
GOVERNMENT MILLIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Forecast
| by the department of agriculture to-
day that the nations winter wheat
crop would total 837, 100000 bush
els, he largest crop ever grown,
| aroused immediate speculation as to
the cost to the government of such
an enormous yield. Under the bill
passed by congress in the closing
days of the last session the govern
ment is obligated to pay the differ
ence between the guaranteed price
| of 1920 a bushel and the world mark
ct price for every bushel not only on
winter, but of spring wheat produc-
ed.
The total value of the winter
wheat crop on the basis of an 837,-
100000 bushel crop forecast would
be 1891 100000. The spring wheat
crop, soon to be planted, can not be
estimated at this time, but depart
ment of agriculture officials today
predicted it would range between
225,000,000 and 3OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
which would increase the total value
of the nations wheat crop to approx
imately two and a half billion dol
Lars.
The part of this two and a half
billion dollars that the government
must pay to maintain the guaranteed
price was q matter upon which off
cials here declined to comment.
Greatest Surplus Ever Known.
Today's forecast also indicated
that America will have a greater
surplus than ever before. The United
States requires for it's own yearly
consumption about So bushels of
wheat for each person within it. With
approximately 110,000,000 people in
the United States and adding approx
imately 100000 bushels of wheat
which is necessary for feeding pur-
poses, the demands of this country
this year are estimated at more than
650,000,000 bushels.
With a spring wheat production
estimated at from 225,O00 900 to
100000 it would appear that the
surplus available for export would
be in the neighborhood of about
450,000,000 bushels.
What these figures mean is indi-
Gated in statistics showing that be-
fore the war the United States ex-
ported on an average of 1OO,OOO,OOO
bushels yearly. Before the war the
greatest quantity exported in any
one year was about 1856, 100000 bush
els; so that the available supply this
year will be considerably more than
100, 100000 bushels above the maxi
mum ever exported, even when prac-
tically all the warning allied and neu-
trail nations were depending upon
the United States as the main source
of their food supply.

AMERICAN TROOPS
REBEL In RUSSIA
ORDERED TO FRONT THE MEN
REFUSED TO GO. GENERAL
Discomfort PREVAILS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The war
department issued tonight an official
statement confirming the Associated
Press adyices from Archangel that
what amounted to a mutiny occurr-
ed among the American troops there
on March 80.
A company of infantry, the mes
sage stated, refused to entrain for
the front until personally urged to
do so by Colonel George E. Stewart,
commanding the American contin-
gent. Open threats were made of
general mutlny unless a definite
statement from Washington insuring
early withdrawal was forthcoming.
Message to War Department.
The text of the paraphrase of the
code message dated March 81 fol-
lows:
esterday morning, March 80, a
company of infantry, having receiv-
ed orders to the railroad front. was
ordered out of barracks for the pur-
pose of packing sleds for the trip
across the river to the railroad sta
ton.

was in charge of the packing soon
reported to the officers that the men
refused to obey. At this some of the
officers took charge, and all except
one man began reluctantly to pack
after considerable delay. The sol
der who continued to refuse was
placed in confinement Colonel Stew
art, having been sent for, arrived
and had the men assembled to talk
with them.
Upon the condition that the pris-
oner above mentioned was released,
the men agreed to go. This was done,
and the company then proceeded to
the railway station and entrained
there for the front. That they would
not go to the front line positions was
openly stated by the men, however,
and they would only go to Obozer-
skaya. They also stated that gem
eral mutiny would soon come if there
was not some definite statement
Forthcoming from Washington with
regard to the removal of American
troops from Russia at the earliest
possible date"
