NOT ALL APPLES KILLED.
Upland Orchards of State Not Hurt
Badly by Easter Freeze.

Manhattan, Kan, May 1.-THE
prospects for an apple crop in Kan
sas are brighter now than they were
soon after the Easter storm, according
to reports received by the horticul-
tural department, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
In the vicinity of Manhattan, the
crop will be light. Only the late va
rieties such as Rails Geniton, Rome
Beauty and Ben Davis show prospects
of q partial crop. There will be prac-
tically no Maiden Blush, Jonathans or
Winesaps in Riley county. On April
5 the thermometer registered de-
grees above zero, according to the col
lege weather reports.
In the principal apple sections of
the state the temperature was not so
low, and reports from Doniphan coun-
ty indicate there will be a good crop,
especially in the upland orchards.
The temperature of April 5 was 16
degrees above zero, but the early va
rieties in the lowland orchards were
most damaged. Orchardists estimate
the possibilities of a crop of from 40 to
so per cent. The orchardists near
Fairmont, Piper and Atchison have
prospects for a good crop.
Reports coming in from the Arkan-
sas valley indicate there will be a fair
crop in some localities while in other
localities they have prospects for a
good crOD

Wall St., New York, May 14.-STOCkS-
The stock market was active and firm at
the outset of today's session altho over
night news bearing up on industrial ana
financial conditions was again unfavorably
interpreted. Shippings, equipments steels
and oils were higher by substantial frac-
lions to one and one-half points under lead
of Atlantic Gulf, Baldwin, Crucible, VAN
adium and Replogle; also Mexican and pam
American petroleuns. There was little de-
mand for rails and food shares were diS-
posed to react moderately with specialties
in the leather textiles and tobacco groups.
Dealings were unusually light during the
morning hut most gains were retained ana
in several instances they were materially
extended. Bethlehem steel was regarded as
vulnerable, however because of Its new
financing and lost III points, but kindred
issues denoted further support. Oils anu
motors also strengthened appreciabfy and
standard as we'll as minor rails rose TO
liz points. Call money was literally sup
piled at per cent but was speedily abb
sorbed in anticipation Of higher rates
over the week end. The strength OF Ger
man remittances featured the foreign ex-
change market, marks rising to 210, their
highest quotation in months. Liquidation
of liberty bonds and victory notes continued
at new low records.
The market was almost at a. standstlll
during the intermediate period but ad-
vanees continued to hold at top levels on
the unexpected ease of money. Traders re-
garded the dullness as indicative OF an
over sold condition. The moderate buying
of western and southwestern rails was the
only diverting feature.

FACES SURE CHAOS
Soviet Russia "Ghastly Failure y
Says U. S. Commissioner.
Transportation Alone viii
Cause Downfall in SIX Months.

Washington, May 14.-Bolshevism,
as exemplified by the Russian soviet
government is characterized as
''ghastly failure" by Col. Edward w.
Ryan, Red Cross commissioner for
North Russia and the Baltic states
Colonel Ryan after an extended trip
thru the soviet domain as a private
citizen with the Esthonian peace dele
cation, has returned recently to the
United States, bringing the first direct
Information Of conditions there given
to the American public in more than
year. His account of what he saw
is contained in a report forwarded to
the state department.
without outside aid Russia will be
q chaos in six months, Colonel Ryan
be found in any of the centers, he
said, and the people as whole
seemed to devote its whole time to
the one supreme object of getting suf-
ficient nourishment to fend off actual
starvation. Officials of the govern
ment, according to Ryan, admitted
that the transportation problem alone
would result in the overthrow of the
present regime.
Streets of Moscow and Petrograd
were described as indescribably filthy
being at least ankle deep in dirt and
refuse. They have not peen cleaned
in years, the commissioner said.
With no coal and little wood, power
plants were all closed down and every
body was cold. In Moscow the inhabi-
tants were said to be so poorly clad
that the visitors got the impression
that It was regarded as a disgrace to
be clean or neatly dressed"
Schools are being kept open, he
said, and children apparently were
considered next in Importance to the
red army. Hospitals, he added, were
practically destitute of the most ele-
nentary medicines and equipment.

ARMENIA IS CONGRATULATED.
Also by Resolution Requests President
to Send U. s. Warships to Batum.

Washington, May ia resolution
extending to the people of Armenia
congratulations of the senate of the
United States on recognition of the
republic of Armenia and requesting
President President Wilson to send a
warship to Batum on the Black Sea
for protection of American life and
property" was adopted today by the
senate. It was offered by Senator
Harding, Republican, Ohio, on behalf
of the foreign relations committee.
Senator Harding said a warship at
Batum might insure proper Transport
tation of the foodstuffs and in addi-
ton If the president should see fit to
land a body of marines, their presence
on the mainland of northern Armenia
might go far towards strengthening
the morale of Armenian armed forces

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, May 14.-CORN-Corn Sharply
advanced in rrice today more as result of
lack of selling pressure than on account
of any great buying. Bullsh sentiment was
based in part on active export demand for
breadstuffs. Besides skepticism appeared
enlarged at present. Opening prices, which
ranged from 1Ae off to ,ase advance, with
to $1e2B, were followed by decided general
gains.
OATS-Oats hardened with corn. After
opening ss@1hc lower to Nc up including
July at 913sc to DESC the market scored
a moderate rise all around.
PROVISIONS-Weakn in hog values
had depressing effect on provisions. For
