WHEAT SELLS OFF

Prospects of 2O,0OO,O ,OOO-
BusheI Crop Increase Sends

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May 16.-Prospects that
the 1925 domestic yield of Winter
wheat will be about 20,000.000 bushels
in excess of recent unofficial figures
Eave done much TO bring about
sharp setback in wheat prices this
week. excepting, however, wheat
available for delivery this month.
Compared with a week ago, the wheat
market this morning showed declines
ranging from cents to 612 cents for
July and September, with May vir-
tual1y unchanged. Corn was q cent

off. and provisions at losses ranging
from II cents to so cents.
L. S. Report Is Surprise.
The Government crop report, al
though pointing to a much smaller
production of Winter wheat than was
harvested last year, came as sur
prise on account of indicating total
yield of far greater volume than the
majority of traders had looked for.
Temporarily, the price of May wheat
was involved in the consequent down
ward plunge of the market. especially
as the United States visible supply
figures which came later failed to
show as much of u decrease as had
been expected. Another depressing
factor was uneasiness over a report

Fire Engines Harm
Greater Than Fires

AS a result Of the enterprise of an
American company which in 1895 sent
Frank Moffett, brother of Rear Ad.
miral Moffett, to Manila to sell the
city a fire alarm system, the Philip
pine capital now owns the largest
fire engine in the world. Mr.. Moffett
did not sell his fire alarm system until
the United States occupied the Philip
pines, but he talked enough about
fire apparatus to induce the head Of
the fire commission of the old Spanish
city to visit New York. Seeing the
engines, this man inquired how big
they could be built "As big as you
want" the maker replied. Well. he
wanted a big one, indeed. So there
was made to his order an engine SO
huge that man can walk upright
under it's trucks. 1t throws a four
inch stream strong enough to knock
down any wall in the city. Its con-
nections do not fit the fire plugs; a
dozen horses would have a hard time
to pull it, and in taking water from
the river or esteros a 12-inch mesh
screen must be placed over the mouth
of its hose to prevent it's sucking fish,
ermen out of their bancas. It has
been used only once and 1t did more
damage than the fire.

new issues. Germany desires peace
now and freedom from foreign inter-
ference to recover her strength. Her
former antagonists are prepared to ac-
cord her those, but their price aims at
blocking an eventual Russo-G German n
combination, which is the sole appar-
ent chance for Germany to become
again a great power in any real sense
Stresemann, on his side, is offering
security for the Western nations, but
resolutely refusing to mortgage the
German future by any sort of real or
apparent agreement in an anti-Rus-
sian policy.
II Germany were to escape tomor-
row from all the restraints of the
Treaty of Versailles, economic and
military; II she were able to recon.
struct her military strength, she would
still be helpless, because this recon-
struction would alarm Italy. as well as
France and the Little Entente, and re-
store the conditions out of which grew
the victorious combination of powers
of the World War. Her helplessness
could only be abolished if powerful
and friendly Russia reappeared. But
if in the meantime Germany had been
drawn into the obviously anti-Russian
orbit of the Western powers, her re-
lease would not come.
After all, the German situation, once
she is done with armies of occupation
and the restraints of her defeat, is not
materially different from that of
France after the Franco-Prussian war.
Although the last German soldier left
French soil less than three years after
the Treaty of Frankfort, France re-
manned isolated, and therefore unim.
portant in the European situation even
as late as the Congress OF Berlin, In
1875 Germany had made an alliance

with Austria after her victory over
France, and Italy had joined this COM
bination after the French occupation
OF Tunis N 1881. Faced by this triple
alliance and by the fact that British
policy still inclined to the German
side and strongly opposed a disturb
ance of European peace such as would
follow any French effort to recover the
lost provinces of AlSace and Lorraine
france remained a prisoner of a de-
teat and mutilation quite as intoler-
able to France as the later German
experience is to Germans today.
1t was only when the Franco-Rus-
sion alliance was made, two full dec
ades after the French debaole, that
France resumed her old position as a
great power and European balance of
power was restored. Even this combi4
nation was, however, wholly defen.
sive, Russia having no mind to fight
q new war to restore Alsace-Lorrafna
TO France. Nevertheless, the alliance
restored French inportance-hence.
forth France was able to make head
against German policy.
It Is hard now to see any other es
cape for Germany from a similar
plight, and that is why ! believe DR.,
Stresemann is striving in his presenR
negotiations to keep the future ooeE
for the Russian combination. And
this circumstance deserves constant
watching in all the security negotia-
tions which are now going on-neeo.
tiations concerning which the Russian
Soviet government continues to show
significant interest. And, after all, f5r
Russia as for Germany, the Russo
German alliance has equal value. Fog

influence seems inevitably to be CON

Establishment Of an intermediate

tween Etah, Greenland, the naval
base, and Cape Thomas Hubbard, Axel
Heiberg Land, the advanced airplane

conditions. This is most unfortunate,
as the period assigned for aerial work
is sufficiently brief, the plans of the
expedition calling for homeward de-
parture from Etah about September
3, to escape being ice-locked.
Another piece of hard luck is that,
there being no beach at or near Etah
suitable for taking off, the planes
must take off from the water. Taking
off from the water, they can carry
gasoline for a cruising radius of 700
miles only. Could they take off from
land, they could carry enough gasoline
for a radius of 1000 miles. And now,
still worse luck Is the damage by
heavy seas of one of the three planes
while anchored off Etah, SO severe
that she may be out of the game.

taxes, which constantly keep business

while abroad I tried to observe
conditions carefully, and obtained as
much information as I could concern
ing political and economic conditions.
SO that I might have the benefit of
this information in my work in Con.
gress during the next two years. I
returned with the conviction that
throughout the world, as in the United
States, the pendulum of public thought
is swinging toward conservatism, away
from the belief in Quack remedies for
public Ills and back to the principle
that the success of the state as we'll as
the individuals who compose 1t must
be founded on hard work, economy
and common sense.
Wealth Means Work.
THE individual can acquire wealth
only by earning 1t. The state must
support itself by taking away from the
what they earn. It is right and proper
that those who earn most should pay
most, but our own experience and ex.
perience abroad has proven that we
must not carry this principle SO far
that productive enterprise will be dis.
couraged by exorbitant taxation.
I'VE have made greater strides in
the United States in the direction Of
normal conditions than any other
country which was engaged in the
great war, as found conditions.
Having found the right road, how

Statistics have shown that the life Of
the average popular song Is shortened
by at least six months through the
ministrations of the radio. The in
evitable point Of safety Is reached
just so much sooner when a tune of
no permanent value Is heard or 10
times day instead Of only 2 or g.
This has caused much complaint
among those whose business 1t is to
feed our apparently lnitless jazz
stomachs.
Won't Resent Discipline.
1t Is not likely that music lovers
will resent such discipline. however. If
they have confidence in music to work
out its own salvation, they will well
come any agency that may stimulate
a more logical development OF taste.
Music which can stand repeated
hearings. irrespective of the prestige
Of its interpreters. Is generally good
music. The only test Of a classic,
after all, is its per7nanence. Perhaps
the radio will accomplish the double
miracle OF setting aside the laws of
time and simultaneously creating a

n gates present from the
NM parliaments of 35 nations
and with many topics of
international interest on
the agenda. the twenty-third confer
ence of the ter-Parliamentary Union
which is to hold its sessions in the
chamber of the National House OF
Representative here October l to Z
is expected to be one of the most
important gatherings which the or
GaniZation has ever held.
Lady Astor, American-born member
of the British Parliament, will be one
of the interesting figures of the con-
ference; and it is believed that ehere
will be woman delegates also from
some of the other countries. Distin-
guished and outstanding members of
the worlds various national con-
crosses are included among those who
already have announced their inten-
ton of coming. The American group
is headed by Senator William McKin-
ley of Illinois, who doubtless will be
chosen as president of the conference.
Subjects Before Union.
Reduction of armaments, the de-
Velopment of international law, the
tight against dangerous drugs, the
problem of national minorities. the
parliamentary system, the present
crisis in that system and its RENE
dies. the Pan American Union, and
European customs understanding are
among the important subjects to be
discussed
The report which >Elihu Root,
former Secretary of State of the
United States and Senator from New
York, will make to the conference on
the "codification of international law"
and the ensuing discussion will consti-
tute probably the most important
and interesting feature Of the meet
ing. 1t is believed that the debate
on this question and the proposals
which will be presented as result
thereof, may lead to the calling of
an International conference which
would be especially charged with the
codifying of international law.
If such a proposal is adopted.
President Coolidge probably would
be invited to call the new interna-
tional gathering, which virtually
would be a Third Hague Peace Con-
ference. 1t is not likely, however.
that it would be known under that
name or designated as such. The
draft resolution which will be pre-
sented to the conference on the sub
ject of ''codification of international
law" with Mr.. Root as its sponsor,
will state the matter as follows:
International Code.
while greeting with satisfaction
the laborS undertaken by the commit
tee of experts called together by the
League of Nations to indicate the
questions of International law suit
able for progressive codifcation, this
conference nevertheless considers
that the best method to follow would
consist i'll establishing a general and
constructive plan for codification,
based on the progress made during
recent years, with q view to defining
the fundamental conditions of the
regime of peace to be instituted be-
tween the nations, to providing for
the juridical settlement of disputes
which constitute a threat of that
regime and to the application, if
necessary, of methods of execution
and of sanction, and invites the COM
mittee for the study of juridical
questions to present proposals for
