WORLD WHEAT CROP

TtUSSIA GHEATHST LOSE It
Wasimnottn, Oct. 17. Although the
Itnlted States will have a record crop of
wheat tho rest of the wheat inlslng coun
tries will not faro so well, and the world
crop will be less than In 1913.
The Department of Agriculture slatli
tics published to-day indicate that the
vorable for only modeiate yields, the Ue-
partment announced. It Is practically cer-
tnln that tho present shortage or mis sea
sons Kuropean yield win
be
magnified
by thu complete teturns.
Hurveits were pretty well over before
or soon after hostilities began, and the
grain Is believed to have been saved in
generally good condition, except In terri
tory actually occupied by the contending
armies.
Great Britain reports a crop several
million bushels larger than any recent
one. In Franco tho nfllclnl estimate of
production has not appearod, but It Is
believed the quantity probably will exceed
that of last year.
Italy Indicates a short yield, nnd Spain
an Increase over last year. From Clor
many and Austria no Intimation of the
grain harvest Is available, but In Hun
lary n deficiency Is Indicated.
Ileports from Itumsnla and the Ilalkan
Statea suggest short yields, nnd official
cables place the harvest of Kuropean nnd
Aslntlc Ilussla 183,000.000 bushels below
the extraordinarily large crop there lost
yeur.
The five principal non-Kuropeaii wheat
producing countrlcn the United Stiites,
Canada, Argentina, llrltlah India nnd
Auslrnlln which grow all tho wheat pro
duced outside of Kurope. excepting un
annual total of from two to three hun
dred miil'.on bushels, otllclally report
1.5S,fi0il,000 bushels, or fiO.000.000 bush-i-Ib
less than Inst yrar, but 20,000,000
bushels more than In 1912.
The di crease was due wholly to short
ages In Canada. Argentina and llrltlah
India, their aggregate output being 200,
OOK.OOO bushels leas than last r. The
combined output of the l'nlted States and
Australia exceeded last year by 140,000,'
000. Of the Si9.000.000 bushel record crop
harvested In the l'nlted States, 525.000.
000 It Is .stlmilled will bo requ'red for
food In this country, and 77,000,000 bush
els for settling. Tills will leave 290,000,
000 bushels available for exportation.
Tho largest quantity ever exported from
the I'nltt'l States heretofore, In one year
was 235,1)00.000 bushels, In 1901. Last
ear 141.000.000 bushels were exerted.

GLYNN GETS FOURTH
LL. D. AT UNION
Governor Pnys a Tribute
"Little Kcd Schoolhoiise"
of the Country.
to
LArns rrnuc education
ScitENKCTAor, Oct. 17. Union College
bestowed on Oov. Olynn the degree of
LL. D. to-day In recognition of his ser
vices to tho State In putting on the ttatutn
books tho first workmen's compensation
act.
This la the fourth college to honor the
Governor. He has already received the
degree of doctor of laws from Syracuse,
Georgetown and Fordham universities. ' In
his remarks to-day the Oovernor dwelt on
the necessity of upholding tho public
school system and developing It.
"The little red schnnlhottse In the coun
try," he said, "and the big whlta school
house In tho city are the temples th.it no
man daro profane.
"For those more fortunate In Oils
world's goods, who do not need to turn
to the S'ate for education, or for thote
who received their training In denomina
tional or charitable schools, tho public
school may not mean the beginning and
tbe end of education Hut to the millions
who have found It tho only place where
they could slake their thirst for knowl
edge, the Mlttlo red achoolhouse' la a sacred
temple that no man dare profane.
"Within Its friendly walls a message of
hope and Inspiration has been brought to
the American boy. There hs has learned
that no task Ls too hard for him to at
tempt, no height too lofty for him to scale.
Ar.l beyond all the reading, all the writ-
Im nil the arithmetic that have taxed his
patienco through snowy winter mornings
and sultry summer afternoons, the Ameri
can boy has learned something else In the
public school, tie has learned the Ameri
can's first lesson, the lesson of equality
and equal opportunity.
"There are no favorites In 'the little red
achoolhouse.' Tho son of the hanker nnd
the son of the mechanic meet there upon
a common footing. Bach school la a
miniature rtpubllc where Industry and
ability are tho only roads to favor and
success."
UPSTATE FOR HIM, SAYS SULZER-
O verlmtlllim Whltlilnn, Itr llrllrvrs,
Willi Glynn Third,
William Sulzer came bauk from an up
state foray yesterday with this to say
about his chancte of it-election to the
Governorship:
"Jf the. nl action wore to-day there
would not lie a dlffen-nca of 50,000 votts
between WTiltman and myit-lf, with Glynn
badly beaten and Davur-tsirt nowhe.ro.
The difference of about 50,000 ls due to
the fact that many persons hnve the Idea
that 1 cannot possibly win. That in er
roneous und must be eliminated,
thu Stale there Is a bigger Sul
zer vote than the city sceptics can be made
to believe. The people up there think
I ought tn be Governor and Whitman
District Attorney. They think that com
bination would mean oliin government."
AMERICANS REACH CRACOW.
The following wireless despatch received
by the Austro-Hungnrlan Ambassador at
his summer home at Manchester. Mats.,
and forwarded by him to tho Austrian
consulate In this city, was made public
yesterday :
"The delegates of the American Polish
