India and our west coast will have to take care not only of Australia, but of the Par Past, and little of India's, wheat this year will reach Western Europe, Argentine wheat seldom arrives freely In Western Europe until March If she has free shipping at her command which Is not the case now by any means. India's free supply gots into the west In June and July.

Between now and then the Europeana have 200,000,000 bushels to draw upon from North and South America at the rate of 10,000,000 bushels a week. And Europes normal average takings are 12r 750,000 bushels a week. That's why wheat is high, and that's all there is to it There's not enough to go around from the smallest worlds crop In three years with a third of the surplus net marketable. Promoters of Tobacco Pooling Want to Organize Trust Company. Lancaster has six trust companies and six national bunks and a 13ih bunking Institution Is about to be organized the Agricultural Trust Co.

Hess of Providence. Messrs. Hess and Sweigart were active In the Kimbrough tobacco pooling campaign, and there was great disap polntment ln that organization Because the local banks would not dis count the notes offered backed by warehouse receipts. At the meetings of those Interested in the Kimbrough plan, during the first year, there were declarations made that a bank would be organized that would accommodate the tobacco farmers. SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1915.

JOINT INTERVENTION. If Intervention in Mexico becomes a necessity It should not be undertaken by the United States alone. More than a year ago The Inquirer uiged the co-operation of other American governments toward some solution of the difficulty. This was some time before matters bad been pushed to cuch a crisis by the hostility of the Washington administration toward Huerta, that the Argentine, Brazilian and Chilean governments felt impelled to offer their good offices as intermediators. Since that offer was made and NOT A LAWFUL BLOCKADE.

The long-awaited British orders in council Involving ocean commerce with Germany do not proclaim a law ful blockade. They simply pretend to close the seas to all trade by or with Germany, and provide that cargoes going or coming which fall into the hands of British cruisers shal be dis- "SACRIFICED TO GOD. because he loved his brother more than he loved moat. Is It asking too much of any human being to ask that he consider the influence of tils example upon those about him, especially upon those who look to him for counsel Indulgence compels silence on the subject. A man cannot advise othor.i not to drink when he himself drinks.

If a man docs not drink much if he has not formed the habit of drinking it can bo but little sacrifice to give up drinking entirely and thus make his example helpful to those about him; If he drinks so much and the appetite for liquor is so strong that it would be a great sacrifice to stop, he ought to stop on his own If you are convinced that total abstinence is a desirable thing, let me add a word in support of the policy of signing the pledge. Objection has been made to the pledge on the ground that it suggests lack of strength and character; some have insisted that, although never intending to drink, they would not wish to bind themselves by a pledge. There is nothing humiliating about a pledge. Those who are united in marriage make a pledge at the altar; why should it be less honorable to promise not to drink than to pledge fidelity to marriage vows. I believe in the pledge; I began signing the pledge before I can remember; I have never failed to sign, if by signing I'could persuade anyone also to sign with me, and as long as 1 live I shall stand ready to sign with anyone and everyone.

I am glad to participate ln this meeting and to urge this pledge upon every person present. In this great audience, there may be some who will be saved by It from the evils of intemperance, and others may, by their action and influence, be the means of saving some who are not here tonight Is it not worth while to save men from such a fate? Aye, more, is it net worth while to help them as best we can to rise to the highest plane of human endeavor? Is It not worth while to aid them by counsel and example to make life here fruitful in all that is pure and good and great?

They may be confiscated At an Immense mass meeting held on Monday ln the Billy Sunday tabernacle at Philadelphia, under the auspices of the National Total Abstinence Union, Secretary of State liryan delivered an address to upwards of 20,800 persons, while 15,000 ethers stood outside unable to get in. Dr. Isaac Sharpless, head of Haver-ford College, presided.

Mr. Bryan, after thunders of cheering and college yells, spoke in part as follows: This meeting is held for a specific purpose, and that purpose is to deal with one of the great evils which afflict society. It is not to be compared, In its breadth and depth of interest, with the series of meetings which have been held here by Mr. Sunday. He, with the support of the ministers of the city, has been appealing to the men and women of Philadelphia to consider the greatest subject with which men have to deal, namely, religion, and religion has been defined as the relation that man fixes between himself and his God.

Tonight we deal with but one of the outward manifestations of this inward relation with one habit, namely, the drink habit, snd before taking up the arguments vhich I desire to address to those present, let me call your attention to the importance of the subject. It Is estimated that the people of the United States spend almost two billion and a half annually on intoxicating liquors. It Is difficult for the mind to comprehend so large a sum unless we resort to comparisons. The cost of the Panama Canal, the most gigantic engineering feat in history, v. as about $400,000,000.

Is It not appalling to think that we spend fjr drink every year something like times the cost of the Panama Canal? I have endeavored to secure an accurate estimate of the amount of money spent on education ln this country. or they may be appropriated and paid for, but in any case they will not be permitted to proceed. Germany is to be Injured as much as possible, and, 1 by the liberal use of money neutrals are to be made to suffer as little as possible. In justification of this policy, Lon- suit, the idea of joint intervention has grown. It is possible that Mr.

Wilson and Mr. Bryan may be brought to look upon It with a greater degree of favor now than when they were bent upon the elimination of Huerta. We think it possible that there ts a considerable element or exaggeration in stories coming out of the Mex- don pleads the depredations of the German submarines, but. except caPital at re8ent con; London refrains from the wanton de- ditina of falne Pestilence and traction of neutral lives and proper-!

William Doman, a former resident of Lancaster, was found in a hallway in New York city, early Sunday moin-ing, dying from a fractured skull.

He was removed to the police station, where he died. He was unable to make a statement before his death. Doman, who was 39 years old, went to New York city about 14 years ago. The authorities are of the opinion that he was Doman called on an acquaintance Saturday night, and he said that Doman fell down stairs.The police do not believe the story. The body was taken to Lancaster Wednesday morning and services were held In the home of his sister, Mrs.

Britains blunder on its own account is no affair of ours, but its misconception of the American position cannot be ignored. We are not to be bullied from the sea by Germany. We are not to be bribed from the sea by Great Britain and France.

new to pledge yourselves to God never to touch alcohol as a beverage? Stand lip! Like one man the 15,000 arose and the surge of humanity toward the platform began. Over the heads of the rushing multitude Bryans voice rang out: thank you, not ouly in the name of myself, and of the committee which is starting this great movement, hut also on behalf of that wonderful man of God, Billy Sunday. Berk County Man and Wife Killed Themeelvee for This. Worked up to a religious fervor by the utterances of Billy Sunday, Mr. and Mrs.

Edward H. Seiverd of Joanna a few miles from Churchtown, offered up themselves as a living sacrifice in the most shocking suicide that has ever stirred Berks County. For weeks they had read every word of the printed sermons of the evangelist and greedily absorbed everything bearing upon the spectacular revival in Philadelphia. Then, when a campaign of lesser magnitude opened In their own community they became deeply interested and attended many of the meetings. The couple, who were 42 and years old, respectively, committed suicide by hanging in their barn, in Caernarvon township, Berks County, on Tuesday.

Their neighbors believe tae deed was committed as a sacrifice to God. Two children are orphan ed as a result of the double tragedy. Both Mr. and Mrs. Seiverd became interested in the revival services in the Elverson U.

B. church, conducted by Rev. C. Y. Ulrich.

They attended worship several nights every week for the past two months. Last Sunday the elder son, Jacob, aged sixteen years, was baptized while standing between Lis mother and father at the altar. Mr. Seiverd was converted at the same time. Both parents, following the baptismal rite, publicly proclaimed their happiness upon their conversion and the conversion of their boy Upon their arrival home on Sun day night, Jacob was the center of a family conference.

He was told that he would not have a fatner and mother to look after his wrants and those of his brother for very long. He received this intelligence with mingled fear and dread. He loved his parents, and they, in turn, showered affection upon both their children. It believed that the man and woman contemplated ending their lives for a long time. Jacob was told that his father had money laid aside to pay the interest on the mortgage on their home, and a sum to be placed on the principal.

His father told him whei he had hidden the cash and said that after he died, he (the son) would know where to find it. The interest will be due on April 1. Monday night, as usual, the family gathered round the dining room table. Howard the youngest son, aged twelve years, was studying his lessons for Tuesday's session of school. Jacob retired at 8 oclock and at 8:30 Howard was told that he should go to bed, that his mother and father wanted to have a long talk.

This was the last time he and his brother saw their parents alive. Neither Mr. Seiverd nor his wife appeared to be morose, indeed their conversation at the supper table was jovial, as was always the case. The boys did not hear their parents come to bed, neither did they hear them arise in the morning. $4000 More Than Last Year.

Conditions in Mexico are, of course, infinitely worse than when Huerta was forced to leave. They have grown steadily worse ever since his departure.

He maintained the forms of government in more than half the states of the country. These forms of government have been followed, everywhere, from the capital to the remotest hacienda, by conditions of chaos and anarchy, under which not only commerce and finance, but the exercise of religion, have suffered, it is now conceivable that the diplomatic corps at the capital have appealed for some form of intervention, which will restore a semblance of order, and are anxious to leave the country if this cannot be done. Their representations may lead our president and secretary of state into another abandonment of our continental policy. It is our conviction that the Carranza administration will be amenable to terms. If not, intervention will become a necessity if conditions should he found to be as described.

But it should be a joint intervention. WILL SEEK NEW MARKETS. Dairymen of the Lower End Waht Better Prices for Milk.

The object of this meeting is not to discuss the government phases of the liquor traffic, but rather to deal with remedies that can be applied by the individual without the aid of statute law, and fortunately the plans which we present tonight involve no controverted questions.

Whatever differences of opinion there may be as to legal remedies, so one doubts that total abstinence is, as far as It goes, a complete remedy for the drink habit. Our appeal is to the individual, and I ask your attention while 1 present a few of the reasons which to my mind justify total abstinence. In the first place, let us consider the physical reasons against the use of alcohol. To begin with drink brings no advantage whatever to one who drinks, and since intelligence demands a reason for any course of action the fact that no good reason can be given for drinking ought to be sufficient to prevent the use of liquor to any extent. If a young man wants to know public opinion in regard to moderate drinking, let him present a recom mendation saying that he is a moderate drinker.

I spoke a few nights ago to 850 midshipmen at the Annapolis Naval Academy, and a finer body of young men it would be impossible to find. Not one of them is permitted to use intoxicating liquor. Why is the use of liquor forbidden lo these men except on the ground that it would be hurtful to them? They are being prepared, at government expense, for government service, and the fact that they are not permitted to use alcohol should impress all young men who seek to fit themselves for important ork. The use of alcohol not only lowers mans productive capacity, but it imparts constitutional weakness to his offspring. Even if the pleasure derived from the use of alcohol were not followed by a pain that overcomes the pleasure even if it did not manifest itself in the impairment of the individual who uses it the fact that its effects are transmitted to the child and thus visit an undeserved punishment upon it, ought to weigh mightily with the man who has not decided the drink question for himself.

But let me give you another reason for total abstinence. No one can afford to spend money for drink not even a small amount of money. Money should not he wasted, and it is worse than wasted when used for that which instead of benefiting does harm. There are so many good uses tuat can be made of money that it seems strange that anyone should be willing to spend money for intoxicating liquor. Go among those who drink and see to what actual needs the money could be applied.

The great apostle Paul declared that he would eat no meat If meat made his brother to offend. It was not because Paul did not like meat, but Showed Em a Good Thing. Lower End farmers had a demonstration of the King split-log drag and its work at Fairfield on Saturday. Dr. Donald McCaskey of East Lampeter operated one of the two that were useH and in the evening he addressed a meeting held in the village hall, explaining the drag and answering questions on road making.

BIGGER THAN HIS PARTY. Several nights before the late Sixty-third Congress ended there occurred in. the Senate of the United States an incident of dramatic interest and unusual public importance. Its effect was once to demonstrate that partisanship is not the supreme factor in official conduct and that Thomas Riley Marshall is not the legendary cipher which the ordinary occupant of his position is popularly supposed to represent. President Wilsons Democratic followers in the ship purchase scheme had determined to pass the bill.

The stage setting had been arranged. Practically the entire cabinet and the ladies of their families were in the gallery. Word had been sent along that there was to be a big show. Under the rules of the Senate when a roll call is begun there can be no Intervening motion until it is completed. The administration plan was to have a Democrat in the chair at the psychological moment who would either fail or decline to recognize any Senator claiming the floor to speaK in opposition to the ship purchase act.

For this purpose. Vice President Marshall having gone to bed. Senator Lea of Tennessee was placed at the desk as presiding officer. Mr. Leas political distinction is that, once upon a time, he was in the chair for a Democratic state convention and rough-housed it to a conclusion satisfactory to his particular faction.

However, secretly as this plot had been hatched by a majority of Senae Democrats, it failed. Secretary of State Bryan, suave, unctuous and sans scruples, was circulating around, with his voice. To a friend in the corridor, passing, he sped the word that the job was on. A Republican Senator overheard him. The Republican warned his colleagues.

A Senator favorable to the bill was to move to proceed to a vote. Senator Lea was to rule that, under general parliamentary practice, this motion was in order, notwithstanding any rule of the Senate to the contrary; and the roU would be called. In other words, cloture was to he applied by the chair. But the President's supporters had made a canvass and they found the best they could hope for was a tie. One more vote was absolutely necessary.

Out went a hurry-up summons for the Vice President. He quit his sleep and hastened to his official chambers. There he was told the situation and It was explained that he was In position to break the tie, pass the bill and rescue the administration from a dilemma. For half an Ream Curley. By Rev.

The practice of saloon keepers in furnishing wet goods to intoxicated men has had its first interruption in Lancaster. The proprietor of the Stock Exchange hotel, whose licensing for another year is as yet undecided, has been prosecuted for selling to John Habecker of Lititz, who is alleged to have been very drank at the time. He is the owner of the automobile that killed little Adeline Gross on Monday. WHY WHEAT SELLS HIGH. There is more nonsense written about wheat nowadays than on any other timely topic and all because people will not take pains to get at the bottom of the situation.

What is the fact? Simply that the 235,000,000 bushels of surplus from Eastern Europe, which, ordinarily are depended on to meet the demand of the deficit countries of Western Europe, cannot under existing conditions be made available. That quantity last year came from Russia and the Danubian district, but is out of the question for this season. The result is that since war shut off the Eastern European surplus. North America has been the main source of supply. America has had to meet the brunt of the persistent demand of 175,000,000 people who last year took most of 665,224,000 bushels, but who in the first half of this season have been able to lay their hands on only 223,624,000 bushels.
