Rome. i:t I'iiris. Aug 14 (4:30 a.

chased the German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau reached here only to
night. This new development in the
war w as discussed with intense inter

Held that it was fraught with the pos

It was stated In semiofficial Quar

attitude of neutrality The belief was
expressed that the purchase preludes
a new position on the part of Turkej

The Tribuna savs that the prepara

the public "unprepared foi this

Escape From French Impossible.
"Seeing the Impossibility of escape
j from the Anglo French fleet if they
; followed their original idea of mo
lestiug the transports moving French
African troops, the German cruisers
sought refugee iu the Aegean sea,
where with the complicity ot Turkey,
which continues to make love to Ger
many the two vessels contemplated
how thej might paralyze British com-merer-
in the Mediterranean and inter-
rupt traffic vv ith India.
But. closely pursued, they had no
I alternative to taking refuge in the
Dardanelles and disarming. Instead!
Turkey purchased them. This is not
considered permissible according to!
the law of nations Never has a Da
tion at war sold her own ships which
already had been U6ed against an
enemy During the Russo Japanese
conflict, many Russian ships entered
Chinese and American neutral ports
but they were disarmed and there
awaited the eud of the war'
.
London (9:55 a. m ), Aug 14. A
dispatch to the Daily News from
Rome says:
"Turkey's purchase of the German
cruisers Breslau and Goelen has
made an unpleasant impression here !
Italy probably will demand an expla
nation as to the future use of these!
ships and also warn Turkey that she,
will not allow the equilibrium of the.
lower Mediterranean to be threatened,
as Italy is determined to prevent
complicatioln."
London, 11 a. m., Aug 14. A Reu
I ters News Agency dispatch from Par

the Dardanelles declare that, contrarv
to the statement of the Turkish gov
ernment, the German flag has qoI
been lowered on the German cnns. r

crews been landed since their arrival

AMERICA WILL
FURNISH FOOD
Washington. Aug 13. The effect
"'i the European war upon agriculture
in the United States was discussed
todaj for the first time by Secretary
Houston who pointed out that the
United States was practically the
"Ml. large food producing country un
disturbed. "If Germany and Austria cannot
control the high seas,' he said, "It
will be cry difficult for food sun-
I plies from this count rv to reach their..
I This would not have a very serious
effect on our exports, because a vcr
small portion is taken by these couii
tries. Of the wheat ami wheat flour
exported In 1913 about 1 4u.O0u.uuh
bushels onl 12,000,000 went to Ger
' many and Austria. If they were to
! control the high seas It would seri
ously interfere with the marketing
I of the greater part of foodstuffs W6
j export.
"If, on the other hand, Unhand.
Prance and Russia control the high
si is, we should be able lo market In
the near future without great diffi
j cully the great mass of our expor'
able food products Even if they can
not control the aeaB, they arc golm;
to take every sort of reasonable risk
to get supplies, and on account oi
I their extensive shore lines and large
shipping facilities, they would doubt-
less secure a very considerable pari
of what they need."
Secretary Houston pointed out that
coiton orn, wheat and meat prod
ii. ts constituted the largest propor
tion of agricultural exports He said
thai his department's statistics oi
production and exports of corn show
id a decrease of over 600,000,000
bushels in UU3 from 1912 and acid
ed It does not seem to me llkelv
that we are going to have a very
large amount of torn lo export" lm
port at ion of corn the past year ex
ceeded exports by nearly 2,000.000
bushels, and with the crop for the
present yeai U0.0uu,i bushels less
than that of 19L3, Air Houston thinks
it probable that this country could
consume It all without much redue
tion in price, If any The demand
from abroad for corn for food la ex
pected to help maintain the present
prices.
Shortage Abroad.
"This season,' said the secretary.
has been unfavorable for crops in
Kurope, as a result or which there
I undoubtedly Is some shortage, now
estimated at approximated 300,000.
000 bushels This shortage may be
; further increased by destruction of
the crops or failure to harvest them
through the diversion of laborers into
the army. All these factors will tend
to increase the demand abroad for
American wheat and strengthen pri
ces If there is an Increased foreign
demand for wheat we can certainly
j supply it. but can they get it
"Omitting the ships plying to the
Orient and to the south, and taking
into account only the ships that (bar
for Kurope from the United States,
we know that in 1912 the tonnage of
merchant vessels was 17.727.000 tons.
Of that 17,000,000 tons 2,900.000 tons
belong to neutral countries and 10,
800,000 to England, France and Rus
sls Only 3,300,000 belong to Ger
many and Austria.
Military Necessity.
' If these countries want foodstuffs
from this country and this is one ot
the few countries from which they
can get them, because it is one of
the few larj;e food producing coun
tries hi present undisturbed they
will not depend exclusively upon ship
ping customarily (baring from this
j country. They will regard food Just
as much a military Qecessit) as arms
and ammunition and they will be just
as desirous of getting It. 'Armies
fight on their bellies '
"The meichant tonnage of the
world is 45,800,000, of which 17,371,000
belong to neutral countries and 23,
029,000 to England. Prance and Rus
sia, leaving 5,600,000 in round num
bers belonging t0 Germany and Aus
tria England alone does about 50
per cent of the carrying trade
"If congress takes advantage
promptly of the present situation and
enacts legislation or the enlargement
of the merchant marine under the
American flag, not only would great;
temporary relief be afforded but a
pi rmanent advance would be made, i
Cotton Situation.
'The greatest problem,' said the
secretary 'is the cotton situation
.Many factories in France are In the
war .line, Russia will be affected,
and if England can get the cotton and
market it there is no special reasou
whj she should not continue her man
ufac turing on a comniereial scab I
do not see how any disturbance can
come 10 the English manufacturers su
far as labor is concerned The neu
tral countries Italy, Japan. Spain and
the United States, w ill set U to in
crease output and find larger
amounts.
"Making every allowance it seems
likely there will be difficulty in dis
posing of at least from 3.O00.000 to
4,000,000 bales of cotton. Probably
considerable local relief can be af
forded the producers of cotton It
remains to be considered whether the
government, through the treasury
acting under the Aldrich-Vreeland
act, or whether the federal reserve
board cau furnish relief If they can
do so adequate business arrangements
