APPEAL BY SECURITY LEAGUE New Organization Aiki Larger Arm; and Nary for Better Coait Defenei. LAE.QEE RESERVES FAVORED NEW . TORK. May lO.-The National Security league, an organisation' 'jrmed to conduct campaign for army and ravjr preparedness, of which Joseph II, I.lva Stock exchange, was mailed jn May t, and Is explanatory: 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 it'to and a solution found which will garante a square deal and permit a fair profit, and no mora than w fair profit, to every legltlmats Interest In volved.

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.

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.
