more considerable state than at present
with sure outlet upon the Baltic.
Russia is interested, first. because
Soviet strategy at all times seeks to
foment disputes In Europe. Like Ger
many also, II has grievances arising
from the loss of territory to Poland.
But even more Moscow Is interested
because Lithuania in possession of
wilma would constitute a complete
breach In the famous Gordon sanitaire
which was constructed at the Paris
peace conference. Against Poland, too.
Lithuania Is natural ally. and when
Russia invaded Poland In 1920 the main
thrust came through wilma and was
aided by the Lithuanians, who received
the Russian title TO the city In return.
The Polish case. which Is impregna-
BILE on the basis of the right Of self
determination, Is weakened by reason
OF the fact that the city was actually
seized by military coup In 1920 while
the League was debating Its ultimate
disposition. This raid gave the color
of justice to the Lithuanian allegation
that Polish possession of wilma was
based upon military aggression. On the
other hand. the council OF Ambassadors
ultimately confirmed Polish possession,
and the Polish character of the city
has gradually been perceived In Europe.
State Of War.
Following the decision of the council
Of Ambassadors, which Lithuania had
invited, the losing country proclaimed
state of war" on the Polish frontier,
and this state of war completely inter-
rupted all transit between Lithuania
and Poland, thus depriving wilma OF its
natural rail and river outlets to the
Baltic. This worked great hardship
upon wilma. brought acute tension be-
tween Kovno and Warsaw, and finally
led to an appeal to Geneva,
Last March there was dramatic
meeting between Waldemaras and Pill
sudski during the session of the League
Council, meeting at which the latter
blur .ly demanded, do you want war
or peace" But while Waldemaras de-
MED all beliigerent desire. the later
Koenigsberg conference. called TO iron
out the diificulties. led TO nothing, be-
cause Of Lithuanian obstinacy, and the
tension was increased when q new on
cial proclamation of the Lithuanian
government proclaimed wilma as It's
capital.
Between the situation of Wilma In the
north and Lemherg In the south there
are many resemblanees. Both ara Polish
cities and districts. constituting ethnic
islands. the one In White Russian, the
other In ukrainian areas. But In the
north, as In the south. the real chal-

and the danger Is eventual and not in-

singing FOOL
At THE Capitol
Al Jdlson Starred in Yitaphone
Feature

Beginning Sunday night for ten
days the Capitol will offer Americas
greatest entertainment. THE Singing
Fool" with the famous AL Jolson on
the Nitaphone.
Depths of tragedy are sounded by
Al Jolson in 1.-The Singing Fool"
In it he is revealed as one of the
most powerful emotional actors on
the screen. His creation Is in de-
cided contrast to his work as a
comedian, though his songs have
partially demonstrated the fervor OF
which he Is capable.
In The Singing Fool" he is first
seen as carefree, wise-cracking en-
tertainer-a singing waiter in 4 New
York cabaret-but eventually there
comes to him a weight of sorrow
and mental stress that entirely
changes the course of his life. Every
thing which he has attained through
years of striving is suddenly strip
ped from him. and the way he meets
and copes with his misfortues makes
a story OF absorbing heart interest
Married to q revue star who falls
in love with another man. the sing
ing waiter suffers torrents, Which
includes the death Of the child to
whom he Is passionately devoted.
THE Singing Fool" runs the whole
scale OF human emotions.
Adding UNNECESSARILY to the NOV
ing qualities Of this great production
Vitaphone is used throughout, repro
ducing not only dialogue Of charac-
tiers, but those songs which have
served TO make Al Jolson the worlds
favorite entertainer.
Betty Bronson and Josephine
Dunn are seen in the principal fem
mime roles. and other well-known
players in the cast are Reed Howes,
and Arthur Housman.
There will be one Vitaphone act
on the program featuring Shaw and
Lee, Broadway comedians in THE
Beau Brummels"
The performances will be con-
tinuuous daily with popular prices
prevailing.

new precipitation records ct many
stations. These diverse conditions,
however. were largely Offset by gem
orally favorable harvesting weather
in the more important agricultural
stats"
Three Major Crops
All the three major American
crops. wheat corn and cotton. are
estimated ~ showing high produc-
tom In comparison with last year,
but heavy losses to cotton were not
ed because Of the boil weevil and
bad weather. and a severe price de-
preston was reported in the wheat
market.
Our wheat production 100000
900 bushels for the first time since
1919" the report says. THE In
crease was mostly in hard winter
and in durum wheat. Indications
are that the worlds supply Of wheat
for the 1889 marketing season
will be about s per cent greater than
that OF the 1928 season.
I'm the last two months wheat
prices In the United States have
averaged about % per cent lower
than those OF the corresponding per-
iod Of 1927. This depression is
doubtless to some degree a result
Of the increase in the worlds pro-
duction Of wheat. The present sea-
son resembles 1884 in its wheat
supply position. and may resemble it
also in its wheat price movements.
In, 1923-24 wheat prices fell during
the early marketing, but advanced
as the season progressed"
Corn Production
Corn production is estimated at
about 2.s0O,0OO,000 bushels. the
largest crop since 1928. Corn. which
furnishes about half our grain sup
ply, has grown this year on an
acreage a little larger than that har-
vested last year. and the yields, al
though uneven, averaged a little
better. Iowa had q record crop and
good yields were raised also In Illi-
nois, Missouri, Kansas. Oklahoma.
and Texas. lndiana's crop was about
equal to the average of the last 10
years and Wisconsin's crop slightly
above the 10 year average. In other
important corn-raising states, the
yields were disappointing.
Cotton was planted on about
%6.70O,00O acres. an increase OF ia
per cent over the acreage planted
last year. Losses from the boil Wee
vii. however. were the heaviest since
the first few years after the pest
spread through the cotton belt.
Weather conditions were unfavor-
able. In consequence, the cotton
crop In October was estimated at
less than 100000 bales, compared
with 17.977,0o0 bales in 1926. Last
years small crop Of 1c.955,o00 bales
was held down by acreage reduction,
boll-weevil damage, and the Mississ-
ippi foods"
Dairying and poultry production,
the secretary said, have shared in
the general prosperity of the live
stock Industries, dairying having
been particularly aided by tariff pro-
lection on butter, cheese and milk,
and poultry farming by specializa-
lion and breeding improvements
such as coal stove breeders and
mammoth incuhators.
