WASHINGTON. May 7. 191.-Mr. A. F.
Wryker.aocretary Bouth Omaha L.lv.
Stock Exchange, Bouth Omaba. Neb.: My
bookkeeper has been unable to find tha
JYaslcr-Johneon statement of tha sala of
my carload of hogs in November. lPlt,
and L therefore, desire to withdraw the
statement that I was charged $2.50 per
bushel for corn at tha Omaha stock yards.
It la to be hoped that this will clarify
tha situation and call attention to tha
real lasua Involved, instead of the side
Issue, which, unfortunately, has received
nearly all of tha newspaper publicity.
This statement about charges for corn
was made merely to Illustrate a general
economic condition, which undoubtedly
xlsts. Had I meant to deal directly with
tha broblem of tha cost of feed In the
stock yards I would not have failed to
go Into tha question of what becomes of
that part of tha feed bought by live etock
hlppera which is not consumed by their
live stock.
Not F.sseatial.
Tho statement about the price eharjred
for corn was In no way essential to tha
argument I wss making, and Its with
drawal In no way affects the validity of
that argument. I used It purely aa an
Illustration, and could easily give a mul
titude of other Illustrations of the same
point, namely, that our methods of mar
keting farm produce of all kinds In this
country haw. not yet been perfected, ami
are cumbersome, costly and undoubtedly
subject to abuse. .
Tha fault does not He altogether5 with
the middleman or tht large corporations.
The farmar has much to learn In tha
matter, of standardising his product; or,
lir other words, of so handling his eropa
that tl'cy will be marketable at tha high
est current prlcra. This in many cases
he will find himself unable to do,, except
by uniting with his fellows and grap.
pllng with these problems co-operitlvely.
The middlemen and large corporations.
being better organised than the farmar
i.aturally have the advantage In their
dealings with him, and as a rule am not
slew to profit to the utmost from this
advantage.
This many-sided problem must be gone

garante a square deal and permit a
fair profit, and no mora than w fair
profit, to every legltlmats Interest In

Tha league finds. It Is stated, that
there are barely 30.000 mobile troops In
continental I'nlted Bis tee, that they are
so widely scattered as t make . their
rapid mobilisation lmpo!ble, that this
free Is short of officers, ammunition and
equipment and "has no organised f wrn.
Tha National Guard Is found to be be-
lew its paper strength In men, equip
ment and efficiency. Coast defenses, the
letter continues, are Inadequate, and for
tifications are Insufficiently manned and
without adequate organised re servos
Investigation discloses, it Is asserted,
that tha navy la neither adequate . nor
prepared for war, that it la Inadequately
rr.anned. Is short of ammunition an I has
no organised reserve of trained men: that
tha submarine flotilla exists chiefly on
paper: that fast scout cruisers, tattle
cruisers, aeroplanes, mine layers, supply
ships and transports are lacking, and
that target practice has been neglected
or altogether omitted.
Boats Full of Women
Still Fast to Ship
When It Went Down
LONDON, May 10. Survivors of tha
Lusltanla, who arrived In London today,
all had thrilling experiences. James
Brooks of New York said:
"On the decks of the doomed vessel
absolute cslmness prevslled. There wss
nothing resembling a panic. I did not
notice anw concerted effort to distribute
life belts and I waa unable to obtain one.
I (stepped Into one of the lifeboats, but
tho list waa so great that the davits
pinched tha gear, rendering It Impossible
for us to get away 'before tha ahlp went
down. Bo I dived Into tha water.
"I turned around to watch the great
ship keel over. Tha monator took a sud
den plunge and I saw a crowd still on Its
decks and boats filled with helpless
women and children glued to its side,
Many never rose to tha surface, but the
sea rapidly grew black with the figures
jof struggling men and women and chll-
oren.
Brmks, with four other men, managed
to get Into a collapsible boat. They saved
thirty people. .
Test of Proposed Proa-ram.
Because of this sttrged condition of
affairs an appeal is made for support of
the following program:
"Legislation correcting present wasteful
methods of military appticationa and dis
bursements; the adoption of 'a definite
military policy: a stronger, better bal
anced navy: an effective, mobile army;
a larger and - better equipped National
Guard; tha creation, of an 'organised re
serve for each branch of our military
services."
