CLEVELAND. Ohio, April l.-Gen-
eral Leonard Wood. candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomination,
defended his title as "miltary candi-
date in an address delivered before
Republican rally here tonight. He
denounced the candidacy Of "favor-
lite son" and upheld system of com
pulsory military education as the
crying need of the youth of Amer
ica."
There is disposition now to point
the finger Of scorn at the uniform"
said General Wood THE man who
does it insults the memory of every
dead American in France. Let's have
done with attacks on the uniform for
purely political purposes. The men
who make these attacks are men who,
though they have had ample opportun-
ity to put on the uniform in time Of
danger, have always found something
else to do
General Wood declared he had no
patience in deaUn with national ques-
tions with the favoritc son idea. at

little in political propaganda that has
been more vicious than the favorite

win the view, I assume, to the estab
i,shing of equal opportunity of en-
trance into distribution among all
manufacturers and traders.
AS to the first part of this recon
menoatlon, on car service, am in full
agreement and may recall to YOU that
soon after its installation we recon-
mended that the railway administra-
tlon should take over and operate all
private car lines in food products This
mas, to some degree, been accomplished ed
through their car service division.
lhese arrangements are purely un-
der war powers, and if the reforms
proposed are to be of any value they
must be placed upon permanent basis
and not merely for the war.
AS to the stockyards, am in
agreement that they should be entirely
olsassociated from the control of the
packers. distinction must be drawn
between the stockyards as a physical
market place and the buying and SELL
ing conducted therein.
y, AT to the recommendation that the
reoeral government should at once take
over the packers branch house, cold
storage and warehouse facilities, I ind
much difficulty.
MY own instinct, in any event. il.
against Federal ownership of such
faculties and our own inquiries rather
lnolcate that if transportation ques-
1Ilons' together with factors mentioned
lster on are put right this problem
will solve itself.
I'm summation, believe that the
ultimate, solution of this problem is
to be obtained by assuring equal on
portunity in the location of manufac-
.!urlng q! sltes and of terminal sites, and
the limitation of the activities of these
businesses. In this situation believe
that the fifty minor meat packing es-
tabllshments and the hundreds of other
1000 preserves could successfully cx-
pand their interstate activities, and that
local slaughter would increase with
economic gain to the community. and
all through continued competition con-
stantly improve our manufacturing and
distributing processes to the advan-
tagc OF both producer and consumer.
The detailed methods, except in the
manifest case of car and stock ward
control, require much more thought.
II do not feel that the government
should undertake the solution of the
problem by the temporary authority
conferred under the war powers of the
railway and food administrations,
which must terminate with peace, but
rather that it should be laid before
Congress for searching consideration,
exhaustive debate and development Of
public interest in our banks, insurance
companies and railways.

America Likely to Settle Quarre'

Long Dispatch Received az Washing

lands Side of the Case Is
Set Forth.

Washington, Sept. 13.-It was indi-
be asked to mediate between Poland
and Lithuania, each of which accuses
the other of invading and attempting
to hold good section of its territory.
The two nations are practically at war.
Probable action was forecast by re-
ceipt at the state department of long
communication from the American le-
cation at Warsaw.
1t includes the summary of note
sent by the Polish foreign Office giving
Poand's side of the controversy. The
facts set forth in the Polish note are !:
/. That when the Polish forces re-
treated before the invading soviet
army the Lithuanian government made
an arrangement with the soyiets by
which Russian forces were given free
use of Lithuanian territory for mill
tary purposes, including passage Of
troops.

2. That when Poland was forced to
evacuate Augustow and Sejny, recog-
nlzed as ethnographical Poland terri
tory by the supreme council Oh Deem
Der s, Lithuanian troops occupied it
and committed excuses against the
Polish population.
3. That later, when the Polish AMY
re-entered this territory in an advance
against the soviets, Lithuania sent a
note to Poland stating that the from
tiers as formerly drawn could not be
recognized and asking the Poles to
withdraw beyond the Grajewo-Augus-
tow line. Poland replied by asking
Lithuania to withdraw beyond the
frontiers accorded Poland by the su-
preme council.
Tells OF Attack.
The Polish communication to the
United States recltes that, although
her claims to the territory in question
were clearly established and in face
Of her cOnciliatory attitude, Lithuanian
forces attacked Polish detachment at
Sejuy on September 2, subsequently at
tackled Suwalki and advanced upon
Augustow.
1t Is further charged by Poland that
soviet troops co-operated with Lithua-
MAN forces and that still larger Rus
sian forces were modified back of the
Lithuanian line of advance.

This probably as much as anything
else will give some idea of the state
Of mind Of the Western Canada farm
er, as he watches the tally from the
thrashing machine while his wheat Is
being carried to the elevator.
From all sections Of the country,
the most optimistic reports are re-
celved, the local and city papers are
fiIed with reports from twenty to thir-
ty bushels Of wheat to the acre, willis
In some places oats are showing a rec
ord Of as high as 120 bushels to the
acre.
Referring to Saskatchewan, Il Is con-
fidently expected that the wheat yield
will be nearly 1915 million bushels
Heavy rains which fell In districts that
did not promise so well In July, had
greatly improved the prospects there.

yields will be produced The yields
In the eastern part OF the province
may not show TO the advantage that
will those. Of the western part but
too much cannot be said Of this, for it
Is the results as they come from the
machine, and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There Is now every reason TO believe
that the wheat crop Of the three prai-
rIe provinces will approach $50 mill
lion bushels.
Alberta will exceed the 10 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
average yield will be considerably
higher than 1t has been In the province
In any of the last four years.
The Department of Agriculture in

cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and that 1t might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.
Most of the wheat In the province
when the report was written, stood
well up TO three feet high and on
some fields was still higher. The re-
port goes on that In parts OF South
