Wilson Himself Issued
Word to Send Boat to
Brest at Once; White
House Mystified.
More Hopeful View for.
Agreement at Paris,
but Possibility Of Walk
out Still Seen.

Washington, April 3.-Specific in
struetions from President Wilson
that the sailing of his steamer, the
George Washington, be expedited
Immediately, were received TO-DAY at
the navy department, thru Admiral
william n. Benson, chief of naval
operations, at Paris. As a result,
the vessel will leave New York for
Brest, probably next Friday after
noon.
Admiral Benson's messaae nave
no reason for the presidents order
and the White House professed to
nave no information on the subject,
But, interpreted in the light of press
dispatches in Paris, telling of the
presidents determination that de-
lays at the peace conference must
end, most officials regard it as siq-
nificant.
Much Importance also was given
by the fact that this was the second
message from the admiral regarding
the ships departure. the first, re-.
ceived yesterday, having inquired as
to the time the vessel could get
under way.
By fast steaming. the George Wash
lngton should reach Brest Brest by
April II. The steamship will be held
there subject to the presidents orders,
1t was said, and thus would be imna-
dlately available in the event Mr.. Wilson
should decide to cut short his stay at
Paris because of delays in agreeing to
the peace terms.
In some quarters it was explained
that without his ship at a French port.
the president might find himself in a
somewhat embarrassing position, should
he decide to leave the French eapital
before the treaty had been agreed upon.
Late Paris press dispatches indicated
that a more hopeful view as to the pro-
gress OF the peace negotiations was en-
tertained than had been for several days
and this view was reflected in cable
gram received, tonight, by Secretary Tu-
nulty from Rear Admiral Grayson. the
presidents personal physician, who re-
ported that the general situation had
improved slightly.
The George Washington arrived at
New York from Brest March 2S, after
.aking President Wilson back to France,

Outlook for ,50o,o00,o 600 Harvest of 1,l37.-

Washington, April S.--Forecast by
the department Of agriculture today,
that the nations winter wheat crop
would total S57,00o.e00 bushels, the
largest crop ever grown, aroused imme-
dlate speculation as to the cost of the
government of such yield.
Under the bill passed by congress. the
government is obligated to pay the diff
ference between the guaranteed price
of S2.26 bushel and the world market
price for the total of witner and spring
wheat produced
The total value of winter wheat crop
on the basis of S37, 100000 bushels crop
forecast, would be 81 s91 .620, 900. The
spring wheat crop cannot be estimated
at this time, but department of agricul-
ture officials, today. predicted it would
range between 225.ooo,oo0 and 100000
600 bushels, which would increase the
total value of the nations wheat crop to
approximately two and one-half billions
dollars
The forecast by tile department indi-
Gates the greatest crop of wheat the
world has ever grown, and is based on
conditions April I, when the crop was
99.S per cent normal.
If no unfavorable conditions develone
between now and time TO harvest the
winter wheat crop will be 152. 900, 900
bushels larger than the previous record
crop produced in 1911 and 100000
bushels more than was grown last year.
