 Russia during the five years ending with 1915 produced an average of 1884, 329, 200 bushels of wheat as compared with our SO2, ,O55, 800 bushels during the same period. The year before the war began, 1913, Russia produced 960,OoO- 900 bushels of wheat as compared with our 763,3OO,OOO bushels. During those five years the average production of oats in Russia was 1,O45 1900 bush els as against our average of 1,224,- 188. 200 bushels. Likewise Russia's av- craze production of barley for this five year period was 492,b5l 900 bushels while our average was only 198,777, 500 bushels. The disparity of rye production is still more startling; Russia's average for the five year period was 935,124,0OO bushels and ours was only 39,424 400 bushels. The Russians eat more rye bread than bread maQe OI WuedC.
 "The grand total for the five years 1911-15 both inclusive for the crops Of wheat, oats, barley and rye was as fol- lows:
 Russia-16, ,2S5, 100000 bushels.
 U. s.-11, ,322,230 900 bushels.
 Average of Russia for five years 3,247 100000 bushels.
 Average of United States for five years-2, ,264, ,446,000 bushels.
 "It will be seen from these figures that Russia notwithstanding her popu- lation of 1S0 million people can-furnish enough surplus to feed all of the re- mainder of Europe. These figures show only the capacity of Russia for growing those grains which sustain European life-Europe has not yet learned to eat corn bread.
 q shall not tire your readers on this occasion to mention other immeasur- able resources of Russia except to say that that country has boundless for ests of timber, enormous deposits of coal, copper and lead, to say nothing of her deposits of the precious ores, gold silver and platinum.
 y German Influence in Russia
 Germany has not only been study. ing the immense resources of Russia for half century but during the past several decades has given careful at, tention to the Russian character going SO far as to place German teachers in Russian schools. As said in my tes. timony before the Overman committee of the senate and on various other oc. 'casions, if Germany had deferred the war a decade or five years even, she would have had such strong foothold in Russia that it would have been i'm. possibleto dislodge her. I have also expressed the view many times that il would be difficult if possible to estab fish peace in Europe with chaos pre- vailing in Russia or even with Bol shevik rule dominating Russia. It Is also my conviction if stable govern ment is not established in Russia that Germany will utilize the resources of that country, organize it's man-power as Germany knows so well how to do and become as powerful and as great a menace to the people of Europe at the end of one or two decades as she was

an epoch in the art of the silent
drama.
The pictures were taken in the
heart of the Ozark mountains and
in California. The play consists of
ten reels with especial musical inter
pretations.
Beneath the surface of the story in
which there is quality of heart in
terest and dramatic possibilities. is
a message that cannot help but find
a responsive chord in the hearts of
theatergoers.
Throughout the play there is no
effort at sermoniZing. yet as in
crystal, it shows the things that are
really big and worth while. 1t lays
out again the battle lines of the old
fight of the city agains. the country
and then launches the idea that there
are certain men whom the Creator
intended to live in the city, and to
thrive among its artificialities, and
some men WHO are lHleuueu 10 live
only among the hills and in the for
ests, some men who could live the
life of men and be men no matter
where placed.
1t gives the lesson that fundament
al principles of right and ideals that
sometimes seem to smother among
the concrete things Of life must in
the end triumph; that only truth,
justice and beauty remain alive in
the survival of the fittest.
A special matinee will be given on
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 at the Lib

will start at 7:15 and 9:15.

GREAT HAIL STORM HITS
EASTERN TENNESSEE

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June IA
A series Of hail and transforms which
have visited this section for the past
three days eliminated in a heavy down
pour of hall here Wednesday afternoon
and with reports from Howardville,
James county, that the ground there
had been covered to a depth of IL
inches.
An unusual feature Of the storm here
was that the hail came down in squares
instead of the customary round forms
tlon. No serious damage has been re-
ported, although vegetation suffered
somewhat by being riddled by the hail
stones.
