WASinNOTON, Nov. 14. The greatest

be planted for the 1915 harvest aa a re
ault of the European war, In the opinion
;f Charles M. Daugherty, statistical -'
rtqrt of the Department of Agriculture.
P, a report made public today Mr.
eriglierty aayas
, "Aa a reault of the war In Europe a
"world-wide tendency exists to Increase
he aoreage of wheat DoubUeee the
most extensive area In the history of
the world will be seeded during the pres
ent autumn and coming spring.
"A prospective heavy demand for this
important food grain by the Importing
countries of western Europe la likely. If
seeding conditions favor, to give ex
traordinary stimulus to sowings of both
winter and coring varletloa In the two
great exporting countrlea of North
America and to thoae aowlnga now being
flnlsed under auspicious circumstances
la British India.
Condition In Sooth.
Tn the southern hemisphere, seeding
;Was completed before the war began and
the effect of present economic conditions
upon extension of areas there will be
manifest only in the spring and summer
of 1313.
"In Europe, where .ordinarily more
! than half the world's wheat la produced,
the Indications Ire that all available
labor resources, in both neutral and con
tending nations, will be utilized to tho
utmost for getting In full or increased
I areas. In Italy, whose wheat acreage is
ordinarily second In extent to that of no
state in Europe, excepting Russia, 1,000,
000 acres, it is said, will be added to the
i crop.
Women and Children Baay.
"In the contending countries extraor
dinary efforts are being executed in au
tumn seeding. The services of women
and children, men exempt from military
service, refugees,, prisoners ofwar and.
.soldiers temporarily relieved from the
ranks - are ' being utilised in the fields.
. . Because of strained labor conditions ami
of the occupation of certain territory
i during seed time by contending troops.
, some local contractions of area seem In
evitable. The reduction, however, is
, likely to be compensated by increased
'sowings in neutral nation.
in. western Europe, particularly, in
'England and France, the autumn sow-
1 lngs of wheat are somewhat In arrears
jbut as a largo part of these countries Is
I favored with a mild climate, making

"While nn eventual victory for the

official reports from tho' Oornian and
Austrian military headquarters make It
appear thai a decision will not be ronched
as soon as had been expected. The final
result has been delayed by the advance
of new Russian forces from Warsaw.

the fact that contests are now In progress
along a front extending over 400 miles
between the position on the exereme north

"No important reports have hoen re

French Defeated In Morocco.
The French losses In the recent fighting
near Krenlfra, Morocco, during the attack
on an encampment of mountain tribes are
given today In reports from Madrid, pub
lished by the German official press
bureau, as 23 officers and 000 men killed.
The fighting resulted, according to these
rporta, in a defeat for the French, who,
it l said, Ion two batteries.
The official press bureau made denial
today of the statement of the secretary
of the British admiralty yesterday that a
German submarine had been sunk off the
coast of Scotland by a British patrollng
vessel.
"British reports concerning the destruc
tion of German submarines." says the
bureau, "are unfounded. No submarines
are missing."
NEW YORK. Nov. 54 -Henry Van
Dyke, American minister to the Nether
lands, reached here today from The
Hague aboard the steamalilp Rottonlnm.
The auggestton, published originally In
Amsterdam, that tho time was ripe for
the t'nltod States and The Netherlands
to act In concert to bring about peace
In Europe, was brought to his attention.
He refused to comment on It.
He was asked If the report were true
that he was the bearer of the siiKReaUon
looking toward such action from the
government of Holland to the flitted
8tntes. To this also ho declined to reply.
Mr. Van Dyke seemed to bo thoroughly
conversant, however, with tho sugges
tion and the report. Apparently he an
ticipated being questioned by reporters
on the subject, for when they boarded
tho ship at quarantine and sought him
out he had ready for them a statement
which ho had prepared In advance. This
statement read aa follows:

hand In a gesture which forbade them
to pursue the Inquiry, he said:
"Not another word; that Is aTI. It I
am given permission to talk I will do so;
until then I can say nothings"
Then, after an Interval of silence, he
added:

Vistula and Warta rivers the Ger

latent official statement gave this
partial confirmation by saying
that the arrival of Russian re
inforcements had postponed the
declaton. There, was, however, no
hint In this statement of a re

Russia clalms-the advantage. The

offensive and to be pushing on
toward Krzerum, a Turkish city
near the eastern end of the Black
Sea. A Turkish column was there

army of the Caucasus announces.
It also sates that the Turks were
