evident the Austrian advance from

the general German plan for the War-

C.lrl Admits Teasing Man Who Shot
Little Child for Her.
George Hahn, who was arrested
Monday morning for the murder of
Beatrice Bailey, 6 yeard old, who was
killed by a revolver shot through a
window Monday night, as she sat at
the dinner table in the home of her
grandmother, Mrs. Alice Petit, at
Millville, N. J., confessed that he had
shot the little girl. He said that he
meant to kill, instead, her seventeen-
year-old aunt, Alice Petit, to whom
he had been engaged.
Hahn said he had attempted to
murder his fiance, whom he was to
marry on her eighteenth birthday,
because she had allowed Allen

NATION’S PIESS COMMENT
American Note Oontinnee to be the
Editorial and News Feature of the
Day—Papers Are Almost Unani
mous in Friendly Comment Upon
Possible Outcome.
The British cabinet met la special
session Wednesday to consider the
American government’s protest
against delay to American shipping
casued by the searching of vessels by
the British fleet. The note reached
the foreign office Tuesday. It Is not
expected a replyjwlU be drafted for
several days. It is pointed out that
a document which took weeks to
draft hardly could be digested at one
cabinet meeting. Sir Edward Grey
scarcely had time to read, much less
to consider, the note before the meet
ing of his colleagues.
The cabinet will seek information
at the admiralty, which department
is responsible for the examination of
ship's cargoes. Foreign office offi
cials and the law officers of the crown
will be called upon for diplomatic
and legal opinions.
When this procedure Is adopted
American Ambassador Page will be
asked to discuss the whole situation
with Sir Edward Grey and Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador
at Washington, will probably be ask
ed to take up the question with the
American state depaitment. Mr. Page
has not yet received any Intimation
as to the date for bis conference with
Sir Edward Grey.
British ship owners, who are al
most as greatly concerned over the
situation as Americans, expressed the
opinion that the matter would be
amicably settled. The director of
one large company, admitting Incon
venience warn Inevitable In the search
ing of ships, said it was possible some
of tbit Inconvenience might be ob
viated.
The Washington note holds first
place in the news and editorial col
umns and wherever the war Is dis
cussed. It Is contended everywhere
that mutual good will bridge the dif
ficulty and obviate further irritation.
“We have no right to feel aggriev
ed because of the American endeav
ors to mitigate the lessee which the
war tnfllcta on the merchants and
manufacturers of that country,” says
The Westminster Gazette, which
more than any other newspaper re
flects the government's views. It
contends that It Is to the Interests of
neutrals as well as belligerents to
shorten the war and that, therefore,
"neutrals should submit to any rea
sonable restrictions which are likely
to have that effect.”
Stating that the right of search la
conceded In the American note the
Westminster Gazette admits that the
right should be exercised with all
possible regard to the convenience of
neutrals. It suggests It would be well
for tbe British government to supply
dally to the American ambassador a
list of the ships stopped with s state
ment of the reasons therefor, so that
questions arising in this connection
might be adjusted at once.
Similar Information might be given
to American newspaper correspond
ents In London. The Westminster
Gazette says it feels that Instructions
will be given to avoid detention of
ships on mere suspicion, and that If
such searches as cau be conducted at
sea fall to reveal goo'tl ground for
forcible detention such action will not
be resorted to.
To prevent Great Britain from
checking shipments of copper to Ger
many would in effect be American in
tervention on the side of Germany,
the newspaper contends. It absolves
Washington from any such Intention
and points out that If the difficulties
are faced In a spirit of fairness the
two governments by friendly agree
ment will be able to ease the sltua
tion for each other.
A plea for mutual good will is
made by the Pall Mall Gazette which
urges that bt ween two English
speaking nations so accustomed to
frank discussion and plain dealing
there Is no neecnsity for “Irritation
oVer any apparent brusquerie In the
message.”
This newspaper admits that the
United States is suffering consider
able inconvenience, but says it is
quite evident that the Germans are
receiving war materials from neu
tral sources. Britain, 1‘. declares, is
ty.ound to uphold Its right to check
that traffic, and has done everything
within Its power td mitigate the in
convenience experienced by neutrals.
It is prepared to go still further if
the way can be pointed out.
The Evening Standard asks Ameri
ca to continue to recognize that the
prime duty of the British navy Is to
see that nothing goes to Germany
which can help her.
The comment In The Globe Is char
acteristic of that newspaper’s atti
tude toward American affairs.
The American government, In ef
fect, demands that we should re
nounce In the Interest of American
profits, our most potent weapon
against our enemy; that we should
raise the blockade against the ene
my’s supplies/’ says The Globe. It
contends that the American govern
Total Velea of Crops Prodeced la
the United CUtee Reaches Total of
Almost Ten Billion Dollars.
. American farm products during
1914 eclipsed all records for value,
with a total of almost ten billion
dollars. Secretary Houston announc
ed Wedneeday that the value of all
farm crops, farm animal products
and farm animals sold and slaugh
tered aggregated $9,872,936,000.
That woe $83,000,000 more than the
grand total for 1913, the previous
record year. It was more than dou
ble the value of all farm products
In 1899.
Crops this year were valued nt $6,-
044, 480,000 and farm animia pro
ducts at $3,828,456,000. The value
of crops was slightly less than In
1913, on account of the reduced
value of cotton. The corn and wheat
crops were the most valuable ever
produced. They brought the year’s
crop value total to only $8,279,000
less than the total for last year, de
spite the loss of more than $300,-
000,000 in the yalue of cottAn.
“The estimated value of the ani
mal products of the farm In 1914,”
said the agricultural outlook, “is dis
tinctly higher than in 1913, which
was Itself a record year in the value
of this class of products. This is
due to general, but slight increases,
in production, except for sheep and
swine, and in prices, more especially
to a small Increase In the average
farm price Of eggs, and to a more
considerable increase In the farm
price of cattle and calves sold and
slaughtered.
Sales of crops last year were esti
mated at $2,928,000,000; sales of
livestock $2,919,000,000, a total of
$5,847,000,000. The estimated value
of total sales per farm was $892
and sales per capita of rural popu
lation (excluding towns) $139.
The value of the principal farm
crops this year was: Corn, $1,702,
599,000; wheat, $878,680,000; hay,
$779,968;000: cotton. $519,616,000;
oats, $499,431,000; potatoes. $198,-
609,000; barley, $105,903,000; to
bacco, $101,411,000; sweet potatoes.
$41,294,000: rye, $37,01 8,000; su
gar beets. $27,950,000; rice. $21,-
849.000; flax seed. $19,540,000. and
buckwheat. $12,892,000.
This year two important crops ex
ceeded previous records—wheat,
with 891,000,000 bushels, following
the 1913 record of 763,000,000
bushels; and cotton, with 15,966,000
bales (preliminary estimate) the
previous record being 15,693,900
bales In 1911. The value per acre of
all enumerated crops averaged about
$16.44 this year, compared with
$16.52 In 1913 and $16.15 In 1912.
