Our corn crop of nearly three billion bushels,
our potato crop of $50, OOO,O 900 bushels, and our
wheat crop of 10000, 900 bushels more than
Americans alone can possibly eat up, are counted
on to drive famine prices out of the market on
the ground that a surplus of wheat and potatoes
will eventually bring down the cost and that such
a vast supply of corn means more cattle, sheep,
hogs, cheese, butter and milk. It is a pity to
dim the brightness of such a hope, but it is we'll
to take note of the fact that the farmers are
already threatening to reduce their acreage in

POLES IN SIBERIA.

Poles who have just completed
a pilgrimage of many months from
the heart of Siberia to the newly
redeemed city of Minsk. have
brought to American Red Cross
headquarters in that city the news
that at least 100000 former war
prisoners are waiting in Siberia for
an opportune moment to return to
Poland. Some placed the number
at 100000.
According to the new.y-returned
refugees, who were themselves Aus
TRAN prisoners of war. Western ST.
IBERIA is full of homeless men claim
ing Polish nationality. The prob
lem created in Poland by the re-
turning prisoners and refugees is
already acute, the government be-
ing forced TO rely heavily on Red
Gross help to feed and clothe them.
Should the number of refugees still
to return be in keeping with the
estimate brought By the new ar
rivals, il will mean an enormous
additional burden for the govern
ment and the Red Cross relief serv-
ice.

UNREST IN EGYPT.

Australian cavalrymen wo return

predict another rising in tht coun-

spirit and that at the first favor
able opportunity there will be a
conflict on a big scale between the

According to the cavalrymen, the

government, and they think that
they will strike another blow for it
when all the Australian troops have
been repatriated.
The Australians believe that the
Egyptian revolutionists have plenty
of arms hidden away outside vii
lagos. This belief is based upon
successful raids by the military to-
ward the Sudan in search of con-

WHAT AMERICA WANTS.

Former United States Senator
Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, told
the japanese financiers in a speech
he delivered recently at a banquet
rendered to him at the Bankers
club at Toxic, that what the United
States most desired was that Japan
should do everything possible to pro
mote peace among the nations and
''avoid that spirit of imperialism
which has so disturbed the world"
what America asks of Japan in
the Orient" he added, sis a fair
field for competition in trade and
no policy of aggression toward other
countries. We only ask that no po-
litical control or special privilege
shall exclude US from entry to the
ports and to the trade of the ORR
ent.'
Speaking of the future relations
of Japan and America, Mr.. Burton
said, every interest points TO ami
ty. rather than discord."
