WORLD'S WHEAT CROP FOR YEAR FALLS DOWN

ife America Produces Record Breaker, But Foreign Yield Is Only

Moderate.

f' -WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—The world wheat crop this year probably will be less than In 1913 and 1912, although the United States has had a record V- breaking wheat harvest. Statltics announced today by the department of agriculture indicate the crops of all .—jiations aggregate approximately 3,741,018,000 bushels, against 4,126,310,000 bushels in 1913 and 3,791,876,000 bushels in 1912. id "In Europe agricultural conditions

In most countries this season have "been favorable for only moderate yield," the department announced. It Is practically certain that the present shortage of this season's European yield will be magnified by the complete returns.' Harvests were pretty well over before or soon after hostilities began and the grain is believed to have been* saved in generally good condition, except in territory actually occupied by the contending armies."

Of the 892,000,000 bushels, record crop harvested in the United States, '525,000,000 bushels, it is estimated, will be required for food in this country and 77,000,000 bushels for seeding.

This will leave 290,000,000 bushels available for exportation.

the general Russian offensive west of Warsaw and west of the San river in Galicia continues unchecked. Because of the peculiar fitness of their transports, designed especially for campaigning through Rough country, the Russians are pressing the AustroGerman columns hard. At every point the Germans are declared to be on the defensive.

The Germans who were able to reach within ten miles of Warsaw because of the strategic plans of the general staff, were driven back thirty miles They are now reported making a desperate effort to entrench along a line which is roughly described as extending through Sochawzew-Rudaguzow-

The Melting Pot—How it Works Here at Home

DIRECTOR HERBKRT BRIGUS AftLI SOMH OK .THE MAX UAL TRAlSilA ti CI.ASSF.S.

In one of the night classes which have been opened for adults, Mr. Briggs recently discovered seventeen nationalities and many of the gi own-up scholars were receiving the first rudiments of an education.

ported blocked by German abandoned transports. The plans of the Russian general staff have worked out with almost mathematical precision. Foreseeing the present semi-wintry conditions, the general staff made preparations to substitute at the front the Siberian army corps which are especially well equipped for cold weather fighting. These troops carry in addition to their heavy uniforms waterproofs lined with sheepskins and long caps that cover most of the head. Consequently they have an advantage over the German forces which are as yet partly supplied with .heavy uniforms, waterproofs and blanket*.

The success of the Russian columns along the line in Russian Poland was due in great measure to the splendid work of the Russian artillery. Their guns have been well served and mounted at positions where they command every possible avenue of advance by the enemy.

Reports from Galicia declare that, although the garrison of Przemysl hae maintained a splendid offense, the outer fortifications are steadily being reduced by the Russians. Every attempted sortie by the garrison has been repulsed with heavy loss. Reports current here say that the food supply Is short and this fact is certain to have a distinct bearing on the final outcome. The general situation in Galicia is declared to be satisfactory.

20,000 Cut Flowers W,ere Given Away in Two Days—Will Decorate New Deming Hotel.

An exceptionally large crowd attended the formal opening of Dr. Edward Reiss' new flower store, the Rosery, and twenty thousand cut flowers were given away during the two opening days. Expressions of admiration and praise of Terre Haute's newest flower shop were liberal and enthusiastic. The interior of the store presented a beautiful sight with its artistic decorations of cut flowers and plants combined with the rich finish of mahogany furniture and woodwork.

The salesroom has a floor space of 25 by 50 feet with a large work room in the basement, which is 30 by 75 feet. The Rosery will be under the management of C. J. Houck, of New York, assisted by Edward Seibrech, of Chicago, who will have personal charge of all designing and decorating. The first large order booked by the new firm was the decoration of the new Demlng hotel for the formal opening.

BU3INES3 BOOM IN EA8T.

Warrings Nations Keeping New England Mills Busy. BOSTON, Mass., Oct 17.—The warring nations of Europe have Just begun "shopping" in New England. The heads of many Industries admit that orders from European governments are just beginning to arrive and reports of a retvival in trade from numerous centers have come in. Large shipments of New England-made rubber boots have been started recently as a result of the heavy rains in France, Belgium, Austria and Russia. Wet winter means heavy orders Blanket manufacturers are receiving big orders.

Heavy demands are also being made on manufacturers of hosiery, underwear, shirts and harness. James M. Morrison,, member of the Boston finance committee, today declared he believed European orders alone were keeping many miles running full time.

WAR ORDERS HEAVY.

Russia, England and France Invade American Markets. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 17.—War orders, placed by secret agents of Russia, England and France with textile and steel manufacturers in Philadelphia and vicinity have already resulted in increasel activity in those industres, it was learned today. Local textile firms, running about half time before the European conflict began, are now working three-quarters full time, employing 75,000 men, women and boys. Woolen goods, particularly blankets, sweaters, underwear and. hosiery Is demanded by the warring powers.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct 17.—Six hundred automobile trucks for the French government are being rushed to completion by a local automobile company. Another company is furnishing 505 canvas auto tops for the same government. A subsidiary company of the steel corporation is working day and night turning out tons of barbed wire for one of the belligerent nations. Local horsemen are scouring the state for horses and mules for shipment abroad. A Cleveland machine company was unable owing "to the pressure of domestic orders to furnish machines for the manufacture of shrapnel for one of the warring nations. A manufacturer of overcoats admitted he rejected an order from France for one million army overcoats. Agents of the warring nations are said to be .numerous, placing secret orders in many lines.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct 17.—Prosperity for the south's cotton mills was written large tonight in official reports from mill men. Europe is ordering cotton duclcing In large quantities. While the orders are unfilled at present, the South's spindles will eoon be meeting this demand. Even now the cotton mills are humming at full time and are buying cotton in anticipation of heavy demand for manufactured products from Europe.

Thousands of tons of coal were sold for export in this district the pe«t week. Large orders, filled presumably for Germany, are loaded on bottoms at gulf ports. England Is buying mules and horses In the Southland. The past week one Birmingham firm alone sold 150 horses for export and received inquiries for many more.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 17.—Machine tool factories, Cincinnati's leading industry, are experiencing their busiest period in months. Large orders for lathes have come from England, France and Russia. All the large harness factories are working overtime on orders for any saddles from England and France.

A stove factory is making camp stoves for the Canadian expeditionary force. A uniform manufacturing establishment is at work on a large order from England.

A large shipment of horses *or army purposes was sent last week by Cincinnati traders to Canada, whence they will be sent to England. Shoe and leather houses report big demands from Canada.

IANKER OFFERS PLAN FO REORGANIZE ROAD

Denies Hint of Folk At Rock Island Probe That Syndicate Again Seeks Recontrol.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—To put the Rock Island railroad back on its feet the sale of its $71,000,000 capital stock to its bondholders and the complete wiping out of the $275,000,000 stock of the Iowa and New Jersey holding company, is necessary, J. N. Wallace, New York banker, told the Interstate Commerce commission late today.

Wallace is president of the Central Trust company, of New York, the depository of the $71,000,000 stock of the Rock Island. He told of the formation of the bondholders protective 4ommittee after the Rock Island announced last May that it must have $49,000,000. The committee employed an expert to Investigate. His report showing much equipment unfit for service, was read into the records.

Wallace said he felt it his duty as trustee for the bondholders to insist upon immediate sale of the Rock Island stock to the bondholders, despite the present condition of the market, which Chief Counsel Folk suggested should be taken into consideration. It is his plan to buy in the stock, paying for it with bonds, and distribute it among the bondholders. Over $15,000,000 bonds are held In Holland and $7,000,000 bonds in England.

The plan of reorganization would leave the thousands of small investors in the Iowa and New Jersey companies holding $275,000,000 worthless securities, but, Wallace pointed out, they are worth little now in the present condition of the Rock Island.

Wallace Denies Scheme.

Wallace sharply denied a hint thrown out by Folk that his re-or-ganization plan was merely a scheme on the part of the old dominating syndicate to re.-establish themselves in control of the Rock Island and repeat its holding company manipulations. He said he merely wanted to give the bondholders their own property and enable them to shape the policy of the railroad in the future. Commissioner Clertients, presiding, again scored the Rock Island. "Do you think the railroads can obtain credit when such things as we have been hearing about for the past two days are allowed to go on?" he asked Wallace. "We see that spirit everywhere today," Wallace replied.

The investigation was adjourned for two weeks after Wallace concluded his testimony. The most important disclosures are yet to come, it is stated.

Daniel G. Reid and Wm. H. Moore, heading the Rock Island syndicate, are to be subpoenaed. During the interim examiners of the commission are to continue their probe into the

The Decreased Consumption of Coffee has caused widespread^ alarm among the coffee trade.

Twenty great factory buildings covering nearly ten acres now surround the litLt tie building where Postum was first made, and carloads of this wholesome fooddrink are shipped daily to take the place of coffee on the tables of hundreds of thousands.
