WHY WOOD Was
KEPT in U.S.. TO
BE DISCLOSED
Pershing Man Who Did
1t, His Boosters
Say
BY HARRY B. HUNT,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

OMAHA, Neb., March 25.-At
last the country is to see real poll
tical fight-between fighting men,
Filing of petitions in Nebraska for
full slate of Wood delegates has
brought the Republican fight here to
showdown between Maj. Gen.
Wood and his superior officer, Gen.
eral Pershing.
Nebraska Republican leaders had
put forward General Pershing as this
states favorite son. Although born
in Missouri, Pershing is claimed by
Nebraska by virtue of long residence
and present citizenship.
Woods specially is "butting in" in
"favorite son" states. At least
that's how the 'favorite sons" view
it. The Pershing booster in Nebras-
ka use stronger language.
Now that Wood has invited fight,
his wish is to be granted. It's to be
a real one.
Pershing boosters promise TO treat
the public to an airing of the ra,n
reasons Wood was not permitted to
take the divisions he trained to
France
Pershing, it is stated, and not Pres
ident Wilson or Secretary Baker, was
the man who decided Wood should
remain on this side the Atlantic.
Woods friends say Pershing hoped
to capitalize his army leadership into
presidency and kept Wood at home to
hon Jinan him pn1itioa 1lxy
Pershing's friends retort that
Pershing didn't want Wood abroad
because he felt:
First, that Woods health wouldn't
stand up under the strain of service
conditions;
Second, he didn't consider Wood
qualified for division leadership and
was really befriending him from ex-
posing his weakness to the world;
and,
Third, that Pershing considered
Wood a politician rather than a war
rior and feared that by attempting to
play politics in the A. E. F. he would
gum up" the whole American fight
ing machine.
From which preliminary exchange
of courtesies, it may reasonably be
expected that the Pershing- Wood bat
tie in Nebraska will be hot.
The Wood campaign, however, is
in fact brought into Nebraska as a
blow at the ambitions of Governor
Lowden of Illinois, rather than at
Pershing. Woods managers believe
the Pershing candidacy will never get
outside Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri,
and that it is but disguise behind
which Lowden delegates are to hide
in the early balloting.
The entrance of Senator Gilbert
M. Hitchcock, Nebraska, into the race
for the Democratic nomination on
platform advocating light wines and
beer is viewed as an attempt to give
respectability" to the wet fight with
in the Democratic party and to bring
the liquor issue to an early show
down in Bryan's own state.
Should Hitchcock be able to carry
an instructed delegation out of Ne
braska, it is believed the effect would
be to weaken Bryan's influence in
other states.
The middle-west has not taken
seriously, so far, the attempt to re-
vive the wet and dry issue.
Hitchcock, realizing this, says:
81 accept without reservation the
decision of the people which abolishes
the American saloon forever.
81 believe, however, a lawful way
ought to be found to permit the man.

A BUMPER CORN
CROP FORECAST
But August Is The Critical Month
In The Grain Beit-ImproVement
Noted In July.

Washington, August "a 3,OOO,-
100000 bushel corn crop, for the
third time in the history of the coun-
try, was forecast today by the De-
partment of Agriculture on the basis
of conditions existing August lst.
Inasmuch as August is the critical
month for the crop in the great corn
belt of the Middle West, it is I'M
certain whether the promise of a
crop almost equal to the enormous
ones of 1912 and 1917 will be full
filed Improvement was reported
during July in the important corn
states, with the exception of Illinois,
and as a result a crop forecast 224,-
100000 bushels larger than that
predicted July LIST was issued.
Spring wheat was adversely af-
fected during July, principally by
rust, and the prediction forecast of
the crop was reduced 100000
bushels from month ago. or to
total of 262,000.000 bushels. The
preliminary estimate of winter wheat
production was 100000 bushels
larger than forecast in July, making
Inc CIOp VI "4AICI anu
spring wheat only 14,OO0,0OU
bushels smaller than estimated
month ago. The total of 10000
900 bushels was predicted in today's
report.
There was improvement in the po-
tato crop, and indications are that
the crop will exceed 400,00O,00O
bushels for the fourth time in the
country's history.
The tobacco crop which has been
promising from the start. has shown
additional improvement and proba-
bilities are that it will exceed the
record crop in 1918 by about 200,-
100000 pounds. Total production
is forecast at 1.544, zoe 900 pounds,
The wheat crop in Maryland is es
timated at II 172, 900 bushels, as
compared with 1865, 900 bushels as
estimated on July 1, and as eompar-
ed with 11,330,000 bushels, which
was the war-year average yield for
the state.
