It's hard to make a fair estimate of
Count von Bernstorfi, the German am-
bassador at \i'ashington. Just as the
American public has about decided

a friend. he up and does something to

the latest wheat estimates are to be
credited.
Last year it was taken for grant~
ed that there would be scarcity of
wheat this year. Everybody figured
that with so much of the wheat-grow»
lug region of Europe ravaged by war,
the output would be greatly dimin-
ished. And it probably is owing to that
very belief that the result has proved
otherwise. Every nation sowed a larg-
er acreage and took mme pains with
it. And so, to everybody‘s surprise,
there is promised the greatest wheat
crop ever raised in the world.
‘ According to London estimates. only
one country, France, has less wheat
than it had last year. And even that
is not real falling on’; a large section
of French wheat land is in Germany's
possession, and so not credited to
France. Two countries, Argentine and
Austria, are expected to equal last
year’s production. All the rest surpass
it, with the United States and lins-
sia, the greatest when-produces,
showing gains respectively of about
70,000,000 and 110.000 bushels
last year.
The world's total wheat crop is es~
timated at 518,500,000 quarters ta‘
quarter is 8 bushels) against 456,500,-
000 in 1914’. That represents a gain
for the world of nearly 500,000,000
bushels. There'll be enough for every-
bodyito eat—it it's properly distrib-

TRIBUTE TO SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Following is an extract from an ar-
ticle by J. M.-Greenwood, superintend—
ent of schools of Kansas City, lilo:
“From a rather long experience with
the teachers of this country. I do notl
hesitate to amrm that they, perhaps
with the exception of the American
clergy, are the least sordid class of
citizens in the United States.
it is only by stinting themselves
that a large majority of their salaries,
will carry them over the non-earning
vacation each summer.
‘ While we are lavish in the erection
of big‘school houses and their equip-
ments, wp are niggardly in the av-
erage salaries paid to the teachers for
services rendered. '
There is a higher moral and busi-
ness standard that the teachers hold,
than is found in other organizations.
There are more than 3,000,090 teach-
ers in the leading nations of the world
engaged in giving instruction to the
youth of these nations, all going with
a full'head of storm on, under widely
different conditions, but with the same
objects at least.
You can imagine what a stupendous
task it is to’ educate the World's citi-
zenshlp. No other large body of peo-
ple in the world have such inportauti

about the change, and it isn’t neces-
sary to say much.’1_‘he fact speaks for
itselt. The laps are all right in their
plscc~but their place isn't on Anteri-

The following report, of John Hays
Hammond, jr., who was with the Gov-
.ernors during their inspection of the
United States fleet, all Boston, on Aug.
2t5h, so fully answers the questions.
What is the matter with our navy?
that we are especially desirous of lay-
ing it before our readers.
“I had the privilege of witnessing
today aboard the Wyoming, the im
pressive naval review of part of the
North Atlantic fleet.
To the layman it was an imposing
sight to see the torpedo flotilla as it
steamed past in double line formation
at about 2 knots an hour. But the lay
man is impressed only by the picture
and his thoughts in the matter so no
further. The torpedo boats as they
passed, to the scrutiny of one under-
standing their true condition and not
merely their outward eti’ect, would‘
have shown a number of interesting
facts.
“in the first place, these boats in-
stead oihuviag the four to six oiiicers
aboard, necessary for their proper
handling, had two olIicers. Their crews
consisted of only about half the nec-
essary iiuniber of men. in case of end-
den national emergency these vessels
could not be properly handled to per-
form the functions (or which they are
designed. With the small crew operat-
ing them. they could not. maintain
their maximum speed of 28 knots,
which is the most essential quality in
craft of this type.
Can't Compare With Foreign Ships.
“Outside the matter of their person—
the Wyoming in review, would pre-
sent 11 poor comparison with the dos.
iroyers of the foreign powers. A large
number of vessels of the same class
in the British and German navies hch
speeds of from 33 to 36 knots an hour.
Leading the torpedo flotilla came the
Birmingham, a sad reminder that we
have only three light cruisers of cou-
slderuble speed. and these watch.
when compared to the numerous craft
of this type in the British and Ger
man nuvies, would present a sorry
contrast in their relatively low speed
and weakarmument. Today what few
torpedo boats we bossess would be
easily swept from the seas by the fast
cruisers of the enemy possessing
speeds for superior' to our destroyers
and torpedo craft, sea-going qualities
enabling them to run down these tor-
pedo boats, and an armament that in
an engagement would soon turn our
hosts into scrap iron. onsettiug the
stimulation of a pleasant picture. the
passing of the flotilla, left a number of
unpleasant queries in mind as to what
on earth we would do if our interna:
tional situation came to a showdown.
Capital Ships Half Manned.

ital ships steamed past in impressive

seemed invnlnerable, to those interea~

ships would’inake a real showing un‘
der modern battle conditions. These
vessels also were only about half man-
ned, and, as it takes four years to train
a sailor, they will have to fight in this
condition should the occasion arise
any time within the next four years.
The speed of the best of these vessels
is six knots less than the ‘Bluecher,
whose inferiority of Speed spelt her

"As we watched these massive
structures pass, some of us wondered
how long they could contest with the
superior ranger . gun powder and
speed of the modern battle cruisers.
"We shouud have 21 battleships to
protect our Atlantic coast; We have
only 1'7..shlps in commission, four

them. _'Wlth every resource tapped we
are 30,000 men short in our navy.
We have 1900 officers of the line, we
must have 14th moms. It takes four
years to train a sailor, but 10 years
to make a well-trained ofllcer. Who
will insure us peace for that time?
