TWO BIG REASONS
FOR WHEAT BREAK
Armour Grain Head Blames Wild
Crop Statements and
Politics.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 14.-George E. Marcy.
president Of the Armour Grain Com
pany, said regarding the wheat situa-
ton:
1.-The United States has only a rea-
sonable carryover of wheat and the bal
ance of the world nothing extraordi-
nary, especially at present values. In
my opinion the sick wheat market is
caused by two things-first, too many
extravagant statements being made by
people regarding available supplies and
crops, people who make these state
ments without explaining the whole
situation, namely, that there are hun
dreds Of millions of people who must
use wheat, and that it is the cheapest
Of any food Such statements have a
tendency to disturb confidence in values.
'fThe other reason Is bringing politics
into the practical handling of the enor-
nous five thousand million bushels or
over of grain raised In the United
States. To very great extent, the
political attack made against exchanges
has frightened speculation out OF the
market. Former conditions would find
speculative investment buyers buying
grain futures on large scale and very
little thought given TO any great surplus
at these prices.
1T is too bad conditions are as they
are, as they are a factor In causing
wheat to sell way below revenue. May
be the large consumption at these low
prices will cause a different situation
and later might cause a better price
situation"

WAR EVERY l 1-2 YEARS.
United States Has Fought 104 Con
flicts in It's Career.
From the Toledo Blade.

1t would ask too much of any stu
dent of American history to recite
the names of the 104 wars with
which this nation has had to deal as
one of the principals. For time in
our career they came so fast that
they interfered with one another.
Some were over before the news OF
them reached the public. Yet most
of them, while they lasted. Were
brisk and deadly.
tween the states and the one with
Germany there were twenty-seven
occasions when the army had to go
into active service. You will think
Philippine insurrection as another
and that target practice at Vera Cruz
and along the border as a third. But
older persons will recall the Modoc
campaign and troubles with the
Sioux, which persisted to as late as
1891.
Then there was that series Of lively
fights known as the Ute war In the
same year was the bloody argument
with the Nez Perces. Did you ever
hear of the Tin Horn war? There
was such a one. In the winter fol-
lowing the Santiago battle the Chip
pewa Indians put up a fair imitation
of rebellion and soldiers who went
out against them faced not only the
prospect of sudden death by bullet
but also the slower death by freez-
ing.
According to the War Department
records there has been call for
military activities for every year and
a half of the country's career. We
are far from being as mild and un-
warlike as the pacificists make us
out to be. The United States fights
when she has to-and there is evil
dence enough that under the pres
sure of circumstances the nation has
not lacked the aggressiveness to
take the fight where the chances for
being damaged are thickest
