CORN FOR GERMANY.
PLANS TO SEND OUR SURPLUS PROD
UCT TO EUROPE.
i
It Would Displace Rye Flour—Europe a
Promising Field For an Experiment.
With Little Expense the Export Trade
Could Be Greatly Increased.
Mr. William Stuede, an export grain
buyer of St. Louis, is a firm believer in
American corn. He regards it as a food
staple next in importance to wheat and
is of the opinion that its introduction
in Europe could be accomplished with
but comparatively little effort or ex
pense on the part of the United States
government. He talked entertainingly
on the subject recently. This is what
he said:
“With the tremendous corn crop in
the United States this year and the big
surplus left over from last year’s crop
it seems to me that the price of corn is
bound to drop fully 4 cents as soon as
the market regulates itself. This sea
son’s yield was about 1,750,000,000
bushels, and fully 1,000,000,000 bushels
were left over from last year.
“Even if Europe would take 100,000,-
000 bushels it would leave more corn in
America than we can possibly use, and
according to the immutable law of sup
ply and demand prices are certain to
decline. The market has held up re
markably well thus far owing to the
immense increase in the demand
mestic use and the fact that the crop is
somewhat smaller than that of last yeai
or even than the average crop, yet the
country has too much corn—a condition
that is bound to cause a decline in the
market.
“Since the United States is able to
produce such vast quantities of corn it
wsuld certainly be a wise move on the
part of the government if the agricul
tural department or some other branch
at Washington would take some steps
to secure the introduction of corn prod
ucts in Germany and other European
countries as a means of increasing the
foreign demand for this great food prod
uct. It could be done through the dis
tribution of pamphlets or books dealing
with the various corn products and the
best methods of preparing theln for the
table, and with comparatively little ex
, pense the export trade in corn could be
enormously increased.
“Germany, with a population of
51,000,000 people, is a rye consuming
country. Corn is cheaper, and with a
little exertion America could supplant
rye with corn within a comparatively
short time. Suppose, for instance, the
government were to start with the Ger
man army and secure the adoption of
certain corn products for its consump
tion. Within the two years for which
every ablebodied man in Germany has
to serve he would become accustomed
to eating corn food, and When he went
home he would continue its use in his
family. lam of the opinion that this
could be done without much expense or
trouble to our governmi nt and within
two years at, the outside a steady de

tablished. 1 came to this country wnen
I was 20 years of age, and up to that
time 1 had never seen corn used as food
in any shape. The reason was that the
Germans do not know how to prepare
corn products for the table, and many
of them are of the opinion that corn is
only fit for teed for stock.
“In addition to securing the introduc
tion of corn products for the use of the
army the wholesale distribution of
pamphlets giving recipes for cooking
cornstarch, cornmeal, corn flour and
the thousand and one good things man
ufactured from corn, or even the open
ing. of cooking schools devoted to that
t end. would certainly prove a paying in
vestment to America within a compara
tively short time.
“Four years ago I returned to Ger
many on a visit and found that the Ger
mans had learned the use of a few corn
products, but even corn flour they
mixed with wheat and rye flour. It has
only been in recent years that they have
begun to eat roasting ears, and even
that has not yet become a general cus
tom. If they could be taught the many
delicious dishes they can get out of
American corn the demand for it from
that quarter would become a vast source
of revenue to America.
‘ ‘ What 1 say of Germany applies to
Austria, parts of Russia and in fact all
of the surrounding country. It is a ques
tion that is Mell worth a little investi
gation on the part of this government,
and one in which every farmer and
merchant in the country is directly in
terested. ” —St. Louis Republic.

I CROKER AND THE PRINCE.
Tammany ’’all <hief Not a C'rouie of
Euglaud's Next King:.
London, Oct. 23. —The Geater New
York election amenities are followed
here with considerable interest, espe
cially the presentation of Mr. Richard
Croker as a crouie of the Prince of
Wales. The London Figaro on the sub
ject says:
"The impudence of the New York
politicians is laughable to those who
know the extent of the Prince of Wales’
acquaintance with the Tammany chief.
Wnen Croker brought his racehorses
here, he was introduced to Wales in the
character of a great supporter of the
turf. Immediately, however, the run
ning of the American horses fell under
suspicion and Croker was dropped from
the royal circle like a hot potato. As it
was, Croker never progressed further
in intimacy with the Prince of Wales
than on one occasion to offer him a
light for his cigar.”

THJC RONIS TRIBUNE. TUESDAY OCTOBER 26,
THE CARIBBEAN,
Captain Mahan on the Strategic Impor
tance of the Land Girt Sea.
Causes superficially very diverse, but
essentially the same in that they arose
from and still depend upon a lack of lo
cal political capacity, have brought the
Mediterranean and the Caribbean, in
our own time, to similar conditions, re
garded as quantities of interest in the
sphere of international relations. What
ever the intrinsic value of the two bod
ies of water, in themselves or in their
surroundings, whatever their present
contributions to the prosperity or to the
culture of mankind, their conspicuous
characteristics now are their political
and military importance, in the broad
est sense, as concerning not only the
countries that border them, but the
world at large. Both are land girt seas;
both are links in a chain of communica
tion between an east and a west. In
both the chain is broken by an isthmus.
Both are of contracted extent when
compared with great oceans, and in
consequence of these common features
both present in an intensified form the
advantages and the limitations, politi
cal and military, which condition the
influence of sea power.
This conclusion is notably true of the
Mediterranean, as is shown by its his
tory. It is even more forcibly true of
the Caribbean, partly because the con
tour of its shores does not, as in the
Mediterranean peninsulas, thrust the
power of the land so far and so sustain
edly into the sea; partly because, from
historical antecedents already alluded
to, in the character of the first colo
nists and from the shortness of the
time the ground has been in civilized
occupation, there does not exist in the
Caribbean or in the gulf of Mexico—
apart from the United States—any land
power at all comparable to those great
continental states of Europe 'whose
strength lies in their armies far more
than in their navies.
So far as national inclinations, as dis
tinct from the cautious actions of states
man, can be discerned, in the Mediter
ranean at present the sea powers, Great
Britain, France and Italy, are opposed
to the land powers, Germany, Austria
and Russia, and the latter dominate ac
tion. It cannot be so in any near future
in the Caribbean. The Caribbean is pre
eminently the domain of sea power.—
Captain A. T. Malian, U. S. N., in
Harper’s Magazine.

The Rio Grande was recently lower
than it has been at any time since about
the middle of August, though still sev

cent rise was higher and of longer dura

river upon the Texas side has been more
rapid 'this season than ever before

least one-fourth of the inhabitants of
Carrizo, Tex., have been forced to re
