Japanese Friend of
Wilson Lauds Him
(rorreapondnoe of The Aaaoclated Pram)
Tokio, Nov. 21. The re-election of
President Wilson has caused Dr.
Inazo Nitobe of the Imperial univer
sity to write some reminiscences of
the days when he and Mr. Wilson
were fellow students in the graduate
department of political and economic
science in Johns Hopkins university.
"Mr. Wilson showed even then that
he was a man apart," said Dr. Ni
tobe. "When he went to Johns Hop
kins he specialized in political econ
omy. He was about 28 years of (?e,
four years older than I, and older
than most of his class. His demeanor
was always gentlemanly and digni
fied, and he always impressed us by
his maturity. In our seminars the
students would often turn to him on
a debated question and ask 'What
about it, Wilson? "
Dr. Nitobe recalled that President
Wilson was a great admirer of Bage
hot, the English essayist, and that
when he wrote his "Congressional
Government" he had in mind Bage
hot's phrase Parliamentary govern
ment," or governments in which the
executive work is strongly influenced
by committees of the legislature. Mr.
Wilson often read papers in the semi
nars, which latter appeared in his
book and which caused him to be
widely known.
"On one occasion," explained Prof.
Nitrobe, "our professor gave me
'Aristotle's Politics,' the main points
of which I was to tabulate. When I
came to Aristotle's references to milk
as an essential in the proper nourish
ment of the young, I was in a quan
dary whether or not 1 should put it
down. I did so, but was somewhat
chagrined when my fellow students
laughed at my including milk as one
of the essential points of Aristotle's
educational scheme. Wilson, how
ever, took it most seriously, and I re
member that I was greatly comforted
by seeing him copy my tabulation
with great care. And in a book called
'The State,' which Mr. Wilson wrote
later, and which has been translated
into Japanese, I was happy to dis
cover that he gave a resume of Aris
totle's political doctrines, and that the
points which he brought out were al
most identical with the tabulation
which had caused the other men to
laugh."

ROME FIGURES OH
CROP FAILURE HERE
"Has the World Enough to Live
On?" Some Italian Eco
nomists Ask.
CONSIDER IT SEBIOUSLY
(Corre,ponlno. of Th. Anoetauo PraM.)
Rome, Dec. 6. The International
Institute of Agriculture has published
a report under the title, "Has tbe
World Enough to Live Upon Until
the Next Harvest?"
The report took into consideration
five unfavorable factors, the failure
of the northern hemisphere harvests
of the year ending July 31 and partic
ularly those of Canada and the United
States; the unreleased crop of Rus
sia owing to the continued closing of
the Dardanelles; the extra and un
usual consumption of food by the
armies; the increased difficulty of
transporting crops, and the fact that
normally tbe world's food consump
tion increases year by year, partly
due to population increases, and
whereby a crop which does no more
than attain to an antecedent average
is actually an insufficient one.
The general conclusion of the re
port, while not favorable, indicates
that if every nation, irrespective of
those at war, exercises close econqmy
there may be a narrow margin of sur
plus food left at the beginning of the
next harvest year. It is also made
clear that should the next harvest be
no better than the present, the situa
tion will be serious.
Hard Problem.
The report states: "It is clear that
no one can estimate with any preci
sion what may be the actual consump
tion of the world during the period
dividing us from the next harvest."
However, it places the consumption
of wheat in the northern hemisphere
countries at 2,337,500,000 bushels, adds
to this the consumption of the south
ern hemisphere countries, and arrives
at a total estimated consumption of
3,836,648,364 bushels. Taking into ac
count all existing wheat, given this
consumption figure, the report finds
that the wheat surplus by July 31,
next, will be but 46,281,60 bushels and
that this surplus will exist because of
the precceding abundant harvest
whereby 345,385,140 bushels of stored
wheat were available to add to this
year's consumption. This year's total
wheat crop ii therefore but 3,491,123,
224 bushels, as compared to 4,062,567,
000 bushels last year.
The report estimates the stores of
Russian wheat so far unavailable for
military reason at a total of 303,580,
000 bushels. If this wheat it released
at any time during the next calendar
year, the food situation will be made
easier, though not if the next harvest
fails.
North's Importance.
The report's definite figures deal
with the five important food crops
of the northern hemisphere, wheat,
rye, barley, oats and corn. "It should
be borne in mind," it states, "that
these northern hemisphere crops are
93 per cent of the whole world for
wheat, 99.9 of those for rye, 99.1 per
cent of the barley, 97.8 of the oats,
and 94.2 of the corn. The crops in
the northern hemisphere lately gath
ered, taken as a whole, are undoubt
edly bad. , The wheat figures for 1916,
1915 and the average of the five-year
period of 1909-13 are respectively
887,706,000 quintals; 1,095,406,000 quin
tals, and 925,316,000 quintals. In oth
er words this year's crop is only 80.2
per cent of that of the previous year
and 94.9 per cent of the average. (A
quintal is 3 2-3 bushels.)
For the five cereals the grand totals
indicate the present year's yield as but
887 per cent of that of 1915 and 100.1
per cent of the five-year period. These
totals are 3,182,697,000 quintals tor
1916; 3,586,166.000 quintals for 1915,
and 3,178,342,000 quintals for the five-
year average.
Taking into count estimates of tbe
coming harvests in the southern hem
isphere the report gives as the whole
world's surplus (not yield) for these
five cereals, 172,408,000 quintals (632,
162,666 bushels) and the total surplus
at the disposal of international trade
at 14,090,000 quintals (51,06332
bushels).
France and China
Courting Trouble
(Correspondence of The Assoc tated Press.)
Peking, Not. 22. France nd China
have become in vol wed m a hopeless
diplomatic muddle as a result of the
forcible seizure by France of an ad
dition to its concession in Tien-Tsin
on October 21, as previously reported
in these dispatches.
Sir John Jordan, the British minis
ter and dean of the diplomatic corps
at Peking, attempted to bring about
a compromise by proposing to con
vert the disputed territory, which con
sists of about 350 acres, into a Sino
French settelment to be administered
jointly by the French and the Chinese.
The Chinese press and much of the
Chinese public opposed such a settle
ment, and criticism of tbe French of
ficials was so harsh that the negotia
tions came to an end. The British
minister has left for England on a
four months' vacation, and the Tien
tsin dispute is at a standstill.
Spasmodic runs have been made by
Chinese on French banks both in
Peking and Tien-tarn, and many of
the Chinese newspapers are advocat
ing a general boycott agarmt the
French.

were not killing today, a kill for tomor

price, that war. rally steady to. If anything,
a llttl. higher.
When It was all said and don. the packer
market averaged bp pretty close to steady.
Buyers did not make any bids at all for
a while, and when they finally did start
out It waa to try to buy hogs at prices
that were as much as lie lower. These
offers were eventually raised in most esses
and when the bulk of the hogs sold It
was at figures that were steady, or nearly
so. Movement was anything but active,
oven on th. better etaasea, and. as was to
be expected with buyers so Indifferent, any
thing at all undesirable eras extremely dull.
Tbe market, auch as it was, averaged up
pretty much tbe same as Katurday, ship
pers being. If anything, a Uttle stronger as
a general thing, white th. packer market
had an easier tone all through. Bulk Mid

heavy hogs on offer, the top of $10.16 being
a dime below the high mark of $10.16

JUST HIRE YOUR COMPANY
Escorts for Companions Cheerfully
Furnished by New York's
-Lonely Club.
If you are in New Yoric and feel
the need of companionship call up
the Lonely club. Ask for Mr. Wund
er, who is its organizer and also the
secretary of the West Side Young
Men's Christian Association. If you
are a young woman the Lonely club
will furnish you with an escort who
Lis guaranteed to be a "nice young
man and who can dance and who
knows the best shows in town and
will positively not even mention
cabarets.
And if you are a young man and
lonesome the accommodating Mr.
Wunder will obtain a charming girl
companion for you. You will not
have to worry for fear she will light I
a cigarette or asK you to oraer ner
a cocktail, for she will be certified to
by the Young Men's Christian Asso-'
ciation.
But you will have to pay for your
escort or companion's time at a rate
of so much an hour and all the ex
penses of the entertainment will be
yours. Even the handsome, athletic
young men who are furnished to lone
some young women upon request will
positively refuse to pay car fare or to
tip the waiter.
Mr. Wunder says his scheme lias
two advantages. One is that it per
mits young people visiting New York
for the first time to have the right
sort of associates. The other ad
vantage is that it helps young men
and women who are either students

A Costly Precaution.
The nervous man had an uiwsopqoerabh)
dread of fire. Evon whon he went holiday
making he carried a rope with a hook on
(he end to facilitate his escape In case of
fire. In one of his summer trips the pro
prietor of a small country hotel happened
to come Into the nervous man's bedroom
Just as he was unpacking. The proprietor's
eyes lighted on the rope.
"What Is that?" he asked suspiciously.
"That Is a fire escape," tbe nervous man
said. "I always hove it with me so that
in caso of fire I can let myself down from
th window."
The landlord rubbed his chin meditatively.
"That la not a bad Idea." he aald at
length, "but gueeta with fire ecsapes pay in

RAILROAD IS TO BE
BUILT ACROSS ANDES
Notable Feat to Cross High
Range of South American
Mountains Undertaken.
GOVERNMENT TAKES HAND
(Correspondcno, of The Aasoclsted Press.)
Valparaiso, Chile, Dec. 10. The
Department of Public Works has
again seriously taken under consider
ation the proposition of constructing
the Chilean end of the new Trans
Andine railway. The line, which of
ficial reports say will be built at the
earliest possible moment, will connect
the Argentine port of Bahia Blanca
with Lebu and will cross the Andes
in the foreign regions of Lonquimay.
The Argentine end of the new trans
continental has been completed to
within thirty kilometers of the Chilean
frontier where work has halted to
await a like development on the west
ern slope of the Andes.
That Chile has not as yet built the
section is due to a difference of opin
ion among government engineers as
to the most available route. Two
counter projects have been urged in
the chamber of deputies. Thesq call
for lines across the mountains of cen
tral and northern Chile, but the ex
haustive report of Senor Domingo
Duran, government expert, which has
just been submitted, seems to have
settled the matter in favor of the
southern pass.
Start in the South.
The bleak nature of the Andes in
the northern and central parts, with
the liability of avalanches which
might block the line for months, has
apparently determined the govern
ment to commerce work in the south
where the forests of the high plat
eaus will hold the sliding snows.
At the present semi-weekly trains
are running regularly between Buenos
AireSand Valparaiso over the exist
ing trans-Andinc road which crosses
the great plateau through the Uspal
lata Pass, 12,000 feet above the level
of the sea. The twice-a-week serv
ice, which was maintained before the
great war, was discontinued until a
fortnight ago, when it was resumed
because traffic across the Panama
canal has created a profitable pas
senger ervice for the South Ameri
can trans-continental. Many Ameri
cans are now experiencing the thrill
of crossing the highest mountain
range in the world, and of seeing from
car windows those majestic peaks, the
close hand view of which has hereto
fore been reserved for experienced
and adventurous mountain climbers.
The boundary line between the Ar
gentine and Chile consists of 2,000
miles of Andes peaks, most of which
are over 15,000 feet high and some of
which rise to 23,000 feet. This mas
sive barrier can be crossed in but
a few places even by men on foot, and
the building of the new trans-continental
will be a notable engineering
feat fit a expected that by the time
it has been completed the war in
Europe will haw terminated and suf
ficient traffic for both lines will be
available.
At present the crossing from ocean
to ocean, Buenos Aires to Valparaiso,
consumes only thirty-nine hours less
time than on any other trans-continental
line if the isthmian roads at
Tehuantepec and Panama be . ex
cepted. A 8:30 in the morning the
train leaves, Buenos Aires. Reaching
the mountains a change to a narrow
guage cog-wheel road is made. When
the summit is gained the train is
puffing 12,000 feet above the level of
the sea and the international tunnel,
nearly three miles in length, ia en
tered. Ten minutes of darkness en
sues and the train burst out into the
blinding light of the high plateau
which is Chile. The descent is made
more rapidly, still by cog-wheel road.
