Feb. 7. Julius H. Barnes, United States wheat director, made public a letter :to Senator Gron na m which he terms the latler's bill for the repeal of the wheat guarantee act and the abolition of the grain cor poration as a direct repudiation of the pledge made by congress to the wheat producers for the crop of 1913. Senator Gronna's bill, which has been favorably reported by the senate agricultural committee, repeals all government control over the price of wheat and requires the grain corpora tion to wind up Its affairs without de lay. Mr. Barnes asserts that, at a lime Wh"u no one can accurately predict 'the trend of prices, Senator Gronna apparently feels such confidence in his own judgment that the farmer will benefit by the withdrawal of govern ment stabilization that he would imme diately take from the wheat producer the protection of the billion dollar guarantee, which congress has pledged itself to give until Juno 1. The wheat director gives warning that by abolish ing government support congress may .precipitate a still further decline in the price of wheat, even below that of tho guarantee price. He adds that "only the most colossal egotism would presume to forecast tho course of j prices in the face of worldwide unset tleinent, which within the past few 1 !FID0I-1F , PERCENT RETURN 01 IK DEC!!! !

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. A return jof per cent on the aggregate value of the railroads would be guaranteed by the government for a period of two years under an agreement reached to day by the senate and house conferees on the railroad bill. In announcing the agreement, Chair man Cummins of the senate managers. I said the re-written section provided that after the two year period the per- contage of return would be fixed by the interstate commerce commission, 'rates so as loyTeId that rehirnr -Agreement Paves Way With Ihe agreement on this section leaders hope to complete final enact ment of the bill before March 1. The aggregate value of the proper ties used in transportation would be determined by the interstate com . merce commission, according to the , bill, the determination being by traf fic districts. These districts would be used as groups for rate-making and in territories where the roads earned an equivalent of the guaranteed return, no incrsease in rates would be neces sary. Similarly the rates would be praised to make up a deficit in districts where the roads failed to earn the B1, , per cent. j Figures on the probable aggregate i value of the roads are not available 'yet. The commission completed the final physical valuation of 23 roads :and the tentative valuations of only 50. I the largest being the Kansas City Southern. The outstanding capitaliza tion and bonded indebtedness of all t the roads amount to approximately I 19.000.000.000 of which 5 per cent I return would be $1,045,00000. i i Guaranteed Return The guaranteed return to the roads j under government control has been about .$900,000,000 annually, based on the three year period just prior to the 1 time the government took charge, in : dividual railroads receiving varying j returns. Distribution of earnings in excess of I the guaranteed return also is provided i in the tailL One-half of one per cent would be available for unproductive j improvements. Fifty per cent of the excess over six per cent would go to i the roads earning such excess, while 'the remaining half would be put into a contingent fund administered by the : commission and used to purchase equipment for rental to the weaker roads, which also could obtain loans from the fund.

If congress should repudiate its own pledge to the farmer, Mr. Barnes ndds, the possibility of depreciation in value after the withdrawal of tho govern ment guarantee are such that six mil lion farmers will ask congress by what, right it repudiated tho pledged nation al guarantee on the underlying foun dation of which tho influence of sup ply and demand has built an average premium of thirty cents per bushel. jBjSfijjjjjjjjj r Organising Writers I. , NEW YORK Mrs. Isaac Pear- son, national president of-. the League , of American Periwomen, tpii$To drgni2er a NewY prlc "sec . tion bf the league, This section will make a point of helping the young writing woman and having an oversight over students in journalism, illustration and music.

Mr. Lane's resignation terminates a public service of more than twenty yers in which he has held many posts, beginning with local offices in his home state- of California.

The society consists of French sol diers, suffering from facial wounds, who have been provided with a set of new features by the American Red Cross. The most successful address was mado by a woman's hairdresser, who lost his nose through a shell explosion. As ho told his comrades in a speech: "Without my nose my job was gone, for how could a noseless coiffeur hope to please women customers Already melancholy had marked me v for its own, when the mask expert took my case in hand, and so successfully, that I am now doing a rushing business in my old trade."

Twelve ' admirals, two high seas fleet com manders, thirty U-boat captains and numerous other active officers of tho German navy are included in thc.lst of Germans whose extradition is de manded by the entente powers. The names of virtually all the officials on , the naval home and high seas staffs are found in the list. Admiral von Mueller, chief of the se cret naval cabinet, among those nam ed, was permanently attached to great headquarters where he was counted , among former Etaperor William's per sonal confidential advisers. In addi- ' tion the allies demand Admiral 'son Tirpitz, Admiral von Capello and Au- 1 jH miral von Trotha, who were succcs siv?Iy secretaries of the navy.
