DEEP WATER CANAL
FROM LAKE MEANS
HUGE CUT IN RATE
St. Lawrence Project
Gives Promise Material
Aid to Wheat States.
BY ARTHUR M. EVANS

CHICAGO, July Wheat tells
the story Of the Importance of the
st. Lawrence ocean-going steamship
engineering project now under con-
sideration in the world-to Ameri-
can farmers in the great bread bas-
ket region between the Alleghenies
and the Rockies.
American wheat is now being ex-
ported by all-water route from
Chicago and other lake ports by
way of Montreal, and the transpor-
tation cost between Chicago and
Montreal is 5 cents a bushel less
than IL the grain went through the
port of New York.
Requires Transfer.
This all-water movement is
through the present canals, which
will not take vessels drawing more
than II feet, meaning the grain
must go all the way in small boats
or be transferred to small ships at
Port Colborne, the entrance to the
Welland Canal, and then be trans
ferred again at Montreal. The ocean
rates are the same from Montreal
as from New York.
II ocean-going vessels could travel
all the way from lake ports to the
sea without having to break bulk,
it is estimated there would be an
additional saving of five to six cents
a bushel. All told it would mean
that wheat would be exported di-
rectly from Chicago and other lake
ports at rates ten or eleven cents a
bushel less than IL it went abroad
by the rail-water route from Chi
cago to New York.
What this one item alone means
to agriculture may be seen from
the fact that more than rs per cent
of our wheat is grown in the States
in the heart of the. continent" and
about 23 per cent Of our wheat pro-
duction is exported. For the ten
years 1s11-20 1t averaged % per
cent and for the ten years 1901-191o
IT averaged 21h per cent.
Cheaper by Montreal.
The present comparative figures
on transportation costs are given in
a recent letter from H. c. Gardner,
president of the Great Lakes-St
Lawrence Tidewater Association, to
]. r. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
In response to an inquiry. They are
Illuminating.
From Chicago to Buffalo, a dis
tance of $50 miles, it costs two and
one-seventh cents to transport a
bushel of wheat by vessel. From
Buffalo to New York, distance Of
439 miles by the New York Central.
1T costs twelve and one-tenth cents
a bushel by rail for wheat for ex-
port The lightering and loading
cost a cent and a half more. So the
expense of putting a bushe1 grain
on ship in New York harbor shipped
by water and rail from Chicago
amounts to something like sixteen
and one-third cents. Against this,
even with the H-foot canals in the
St. Lawrence, requiring cargo trans
fcrs, the overall cost from the Chi
cago elevators to free-on-board
vessel at Montreal, is approximately
eleven spd seventeenth cents .

PRESIDENT FACES
QUESTION OF U.S..
TROOPS ON RHINE
May Keep Army at Co
blenz Pending Nego-
tiation of Treaty.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

The question OF withdrawal of
the American troops from the oc-
cupation of German territory on
the Rhine bids fair to become an
important issue, now that peace
with Germany has been restored.
unless President Harding should act
Immediately to bring the forces
home.
The President will return to
Washington today to begin consid-
GRAFTON of the next moves on the
peace program the first of which
is expected to be a proclamation
declaring the war at an end.
Some administration officials are
Of the opinion that the President,
after issuing the peace procfama-
ton. will order withdrawal of the
American troops from Europe.
There are, however, some extremely
influential members of the Cabinet
who will counsel the President to
leave the army of occupation on
the Rhine pending the conclusion
OF negotiations between America
ana Germany and America and the
allies on questions arising from the
war.
irreeencilables May Act.
II the President does not signify
his intention of Withdrawing the
troops soon, q resolution will be In.
troduced in the Senate, probably by
Senator johnson of California, in
structing the Secretary of War to
order the forces home.
This is the move determined upon
by the Senate irreconcilahles,
They hold that Congress may
constitutionally instruct the Secre-
tary OF War, though not the Presi-
dent. and they have considered the
contingency of the President di-
recting the Secretary of War to
ignore the instructions Of Congress.
thus precipitating a clash between
the executive and legislative
branches of the government. IT is
more likely. however, that IL the
President desires to retain the
troops in Europe the administration
leaders would block passage of a
withdrawal resolution by Congress.
Treaty Gives Authority.
Under the terms of the peace
resolution all rights acquired by
the United States under the armis-
tice and the Versailles treaty are
reserved and one of these rights
is the occupation of German terri
tory by American troops. So there
is authority to retain the troops on
the Rhine and the only question
is how long IT is to the interest of
the United States to keep them
there.
The President has declared the
United States interested in the Ger
man indemnify settlement and It is
pending the payment of the repara-
tons and fulhllment of other treaty
terms that allied troops are to re-
main on the Rhine for ffteen
years. Coblenz, where the Ameri-
can troops are stationed. Is to be

Grand Jury
Makes Record

The Grand Jury, under the
formanship of Mr.. G. Frank
Dent, of California, has estab-
lished a record for expeditions
ness that deserves general COM
mendation. The Jury was dis
charged on Tuesday, having COM
pleted its business in practically
one working day. This speaks
well for the county and for the
men composing the Jury, and
means very considerable saving
to the taxpayers.
The charge was delivered by
Judge Camalier in his usual brief
but forcible manner. He called
attention to the crime wave that
a few months ago threatened to
engulf the whole country, but
which, happily, had abated so far
as this section is concerned.
This term of court will be of
short duration, as there are few
cases to be tried, either civil or
criminal.
