PLENTY NEXT DOOR"
Record Harvest Predicted for
Canada.

After having made a careful sur
vey of the wheat producing area of
the United States, experts whose bust
ness it is to keep the people informed
on the acreage sown to foOdstuffs
state that this year there will be
falling off in the wheat production in
the States, due to q considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion of these
experts is that the decrease will be
several hundred million bushels Of
wheat less than in previous years,
which according TO past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet the
requirements of the demands of the
people of this country.
In Canada, however, the situation
Is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
were the prospects so encouraging for
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915, the year of the
record harvest in Canada, when the
total production was 393,542 800
bushels. Not only is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same is true of oats,
barley and flax, of which a greatly
increased acreage has been sown in
the great grain producing provinces Of
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come at the right time to stimu-
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture in the ground. With
the world generally facing a shortage
of wheat and a continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price is likely to be
maintained at the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and it is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms in the
early spring have every prospect of
a crop yield that will give them a re-
turn sufficiently large, after paying
all current expenses, to pay off large
part of their capital investment.
Livestock is in excellent condition
everywhere, the rains having induced
a good growth of grass.-Advertise-

Mr.. Carpenter said that girls of
prominent families in Mindanao and
Sulu are being sent to Manila public
schools where they associate with
Christian girls and gradually become
imbued with the homogeneous ideas
held by the Christians. When they re-

predicted that the practice will be vir-

ashingtOn.-Efforts to break tIe
peace treaty deadlock in the senate
were renewed as senator's of both
parties returned from their holiday
trips for the reConvening of congress.
The only surface developments to
indicate the trend of the negotiations
were a number of conferences in
which both Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, the Republican leader, and
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, act
ing leader of the Democrats, were
prominent figures, though they did
not see one another.
All of the conferees declined to go
into details, but they gave an i'm
preston of hopefulness that the work
had advanced the situation toward an
agreement. Who should make the
first open move for a compromise,
however, continued to be warmly de-
bated question, each side apparently
manOeuvering while the negotiations
went on under the surface, to force
the other side TO he the first to break

Senator Lodge still maintained that

from the Democrats, and Senator
Hitchcock insisted that the initiative
should be taken by the Republicans.

ONE MILLION GERMANS
STILL UNDER ARMS
Allied Officers Deny Tales of
Secret Force, Asserting Ma
tion Is War Weary.

LOndon.-Germany's armed forces
are estimated by the British war Of
flee to total close to n million men.
These are divided into the regular
army of 100000; the land forces of the
regular navy, 1900; the armed con-
stabulary, 10000 to $4,000; the tenn
pOrary volunteers or regular army re-
serve, 10000 to 100000, and civic
guards, 100000 to 100000 The figures
with regard to the last named
branches are rough estimates, the ex-
act totals being unknown.
Under the terms Of the peace treaty
Germany is compelled to reduce her
regular forces to 100000 by March 81,
and the number of gendarmes must not
exceed those functioning as military
police in 1913. The reduction of the
regular army, in compliance with the
treaty obligations, is proceeding, al
though at a slower pace than original
ly was contemplated.
Army officers are said to believe that
considerable ground exists for Ger
many's claim that she needs a regular
army of more than 100000, as this
force would be very small for a cOun-
try so great in extent. Many citizens
of Germany, as a patriotic duty, are
said TO be joining the civic guards to
protect themselves and others as well
as their property from depredations of
criminals and from Spartacan out

the guards, including the famous Field

SUGAR SUPPLY
is ABUNDANT
Sufficient Quantity Foreseen
for Needs of the American
Consumer
OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED
President, on Recommendation of
Board, Let's Cuban Product Alone.
Competition With Private Buy
ers Would Increase Price.

Washington, D. c. President Will
son has decided not to exercise pow
ers conferred in the McNary sugar
control bill authorizing purchase and
distribution of the Cuban sugar crop,
according TO a statement issued from
the White House.
The statement said the President
had decided on the basis of facts pre-
sented for his consideration and the
recommendation of the sugar equali-
zation board that this power need not
be exercised
In long statement announcing the
Presidents decision, the declaration is
made that apparently the available
sugar supply is sufficient for American
needs, even on the present unneces-
sarily large basis of consumption"
and notice is given that the power of
price control through the licensing
system, authorized by the bill, will be
invoked If necessary in cooperation
with the department of justice.
When the question of purchasing
the Cuban crop first came up, in Au-
gust, only one member of the sugar
board dissented from the conclusion
that the Cuban crop should not be pur-
chased unless the boards powers of
control were made effective, requiring
congressional action, the statement
said.
If the board now went into the Gu
ban market, the statement said. it
would be able only TO buy individual
lots in competition with private buy
ers and with a tendency to increase
the price.
