said Lloyd George, in one Of the latest Of
his addresses, that morning when sent
a cable message to President Wilson tell
ing him what the facts were, and how
essential it was that we should get
American help at the speediest possible
rate The premier asked for 10000 in.
fantry and machine gInners. and on the
following day the president cabled; Send
your ships across aud we will send the
10000 men," "Send every ship you can"
was the instruction at once given TO the
shipping controller at Downing street.
I've were then down and out right to
the bone" declares Lloyd George, for all
the ships available were engaged in es
sential trade. But the risks were taken
risks in food and in necessary raw ma
terial-and enough vessels were provided
to secure TO the allies a force that went
on augmenting until 100000 American
soldiers had been landed in France.
Contrast all this with the abortiye out
come Of Germany's effort to marshal her
forces for offensive war on civilization.
Shut out largely from cable service, she
relied on her wireless stations, but her
early warning to the colonies ayailed

the possession of the allies. At the mo.
ment of her decision to break with Great
Britain she sent ont to every German
vessel afloat the message which released
sealed orders directing the captains to
make for the nearest neutral ports. 1t
was Berlin's confident expectation that
such ships as reached our shores would
remain safely interned here until Ger-
many had completed her job Of smashing
the allies and debating Teutonic peace
in Paris The fiasco came after she had
forced us into the war, for the finest
products Of her shipbuilding yards were
speedily taken over for pro-ally service
And it was by the grimmest irony of fate
that one Of these steamers, the George
Washington, launched at Bredow in 1908,
should have so conspicuously signalized
the German defeat by being chosen to
convey President Wilson on his peace
conference mission to Europe. Boston

lation, as against fewer than forty mil

ulation in France No one in the world
can assume that the position of Germany
toward France will remain peaceful I'm
der the circumstances, the security of
France, within her old borders of 1870,
could be maintained only by the support
of Great Britain and America. But to
bring British and American troops ef
fectiycly to the aid Of France in an. emer
gency would require six months of time
at least The disadvantage thus created
against France must be counterbalanced
in some way, and the best military opin-
ion in France sees no other way to coun-
terbalance il than by maintaining the
barrier of the river Rhine, which is easy
TO defend against superior force.
Is it to be supposed, therefore, that the
French statesmen seek to annex the Ger
man Rhine territory? Not exactly. The
French say that they do not want I'M
willing guests at their national table.
Their idea is to maintain, indeed, their
military frontier at the Rhine, but to
leave the political frontier where it was
in 1870. That is to say, while French

This is an interesting proposition. II
is plain enough that France will never be
safe against German aggression unless
she has the Rhine, or unless some inter

any and all nations against attacks from

fished out Of a Pavilion oyster soup, An
interesting question at law might arise
The plaintiff, suing to recover, might
claim that while # sold Mr. Plumley the
soup, that was all he had right to ex.
pect, and the gem, being an extra not
commonly served on the bill of fare
should be paid for as such if retained
Mr. Plumley might declare that hotel
fare was a rattle anyway and 'fndin's
keepin that this is one rare instance
of a guest getting more than he paid
for, with no instance on record of any
refund When dishes ordered have failed

that the Pavilion itself didn't pay for
the pearl when it came i'm the original
package; that pearls occasionally appear
in oysters and that the price charged is

RICHES IN FARMS.
Value Of Products in United States More
Than Doubled in Three Years.
The Manufacturers' Record says;

The Manufacturers Record says
In 1915 the total value of farm prod
uets, including all crops and livestock,
was SlO,774,OOO,0OO for the entire coun-
try. This, which was at that time by
far the largest value ever recorded as the
outcome Of the work OF American farm
ers, rose to Sl3 400, 600 900 in the follow
ing year, 1916, and jumped to $40 ,443,-
100000 in 1917, And this year the total
value of all crops and livestock products
will run far beyond $4,000, 900, 600. In
deed, the total win probably be nearer
to So. 100000 900 than to $4,000 900 900
Following our usual custom, we have
compiled the statistics of crop production
for the year based on the preliminary
estimate of the United States depart
ment of agriculture as of Nov. ], 1918
These figures show an amazing increase
in the value of the farm crops of Amer
lea during the last few years, the i'm
crease in value, of course, very far eX-
ceeding the increase in quantity.
In a study Of these figures we get an
indication of the enormous increase in
the cost of foodstuffs to the consumer.
for be it remembered that these figures
are based on the prices paid to the farm
er and do not at all indicate the stagger-
ing totals before these products enter
into consumption.
The total production of grain this year
is 5,63s 100000 bushels, decrease of
l5S,000,0O0 bushels as compared with
1917. The better quality of the corn
crop of this year. however, offsets this
4. -, g.
value is concerned. But notwithstanding
this decrease OF l5S,00O,000 bushels of
grain, the value shows an increase of
S37S,S00,000 Therefore. when consider
ing the question as to the increase in the
value of grain as compared with the in
crease Of cotton. it should be borne in
mind that the increase in the former far
xceeds the increase in the latter In the,
total production in bushels of focdstufFs
there is an increase of 1913, 100000 bush
els, but with an increase in value of
S455 100000 this year over last,
Compared with 1917, the corn crop
shows decrease of over 4l0,000,000
bushels, Offset in part by an increase In
wheat of 276,000000 bushels.
II is when we compare the production
and the value of the present year with
the average for the five. year period from
1911 to and including 1915 that we gain
a fairer conception OF the enormous in
crease in prices. The corn crop of the
present year, for instance. is only 1906
900 bushels larger than the average of
the fye-year period, l9ll-l0l5. But the
value of this years corn crop exceeds by
S2,2l2,0OO,OO0 the average value of the

The French, besides adhering to the

suggest the necessity of retaining in their

The epidemic still persists, but deaths

The wheat crop shows a gain of ll2n
100000 bushels as compared with the
five years ending 1915, but the increase
in value for this crop is Sl,lS7 100000
The gain in the value Of wheat ami

gain in value of cotton, the South's great
staple, is Sl,02l, 100000.
Taking % of the leading crops, the
value Of which has been estimated on the
basis Of the latest available government
prices, as Of Nov ! and earlier, as com
pared with the final returns of preceding
years on Dec. /, the figures show that
these crops this year should have total
value of Sl2, 3S2 000,0 900 as compared with
81 1903 100000 last year, or . gain Of

The estimated value of livestock prod

nj the prices of livestock that these fig
