C President Wil son Saturday sent to the senate the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis, law yer, of Boston, to be associate jostii of the Supreme court In succession to the late Justice Lamar. The nomina tion was a complete surprise In official circles. Mr. Brandeis' name bad not been mentioned publicly In connection with the place. Mr. Brandeis has been in the public eye for some years as a prolific writer on economic topics and far bis connec tion with labor and trust legislation. Be attained soma prominence six years ago as attorney for the interests which sought the removal from:-office of Secretary Bellinger in the noted Pinchot Ballinger controversy. He was eonosel later on for the shippers who opposed the general increases in freight rates before the Interstate commerce commission, and daring the same period he was at the forefront of those who were demanding an invest! gation of the financial affairs of the New Haven railroads. ; Mr. Brandeis represented 'the Ore gon Industrial welfare commission last year in the ease of O'Hara vs. Stettler, in the United States Supreme court, giving the oral argument and preparing one of the briefs. The esse is still pending in the court. Several years sgo Judge Brandeis appeared be fore tbe Supreme court In the s capacity in the interest of the Oregon 10-boar law. In this ease be appeared ss counsel for Illinois and Ohio as well. He was, in 1910, chairman of the board of arbitration which settled the New York garment workers1 strike. - . Ben B.

C Until it is de cided whether tie German commander aboard the British steamer Appam brought the ship to sa American port as a prise of war or as a converted auxiliary cruiser of the German navy, there will be no determination of the American government's course re specting the ship. . When certain formalities have been complied with, the ship's passengers. including several British colonial offi cials, will be released and their dis position passed on by immigration au thorities. Any prisoner of war will be'released, because international law permits no holding of war prisoners in a neutral country. The United States then finally will have to deal with the German crew, and if tbey are accounted in naval service of Germany, as were the crews of the Prins EiteJ Frederich and the Kronprins Wilhelm, already interned at the Norfolk navy yard, they, too, will be interned unless their ship gees to sea to ran the cordon of British cruisers outside. As to tbe disposition of the Appam herself, if she is held to ba sn auxil iary cruiser her commander will have the option of patting to sea after a eeratin time to make repairs and take provisions. 1 If she is delcared a prise, the situa tion becomes more complex, and in that event it is admitted that the Uni ted States will have to deal with prob ably the most novel question concern ing its neutrality that has arisen dar ing the war. As one of the first steps. the problem probably would be re ferred to the neutrality board, which is an unofficial body whose function is merely advisory. Washington, D, C Awaiting con firmation from offlcis sources as a necessary preliminary to any action by the United States, State department officials were Interested Thursday la a report from London that the Japanese government has revived ait of the de mands oa China included in the famous "group five" of the list of proposal submitted to the Pakia government more than a year ago for a permanent settlement of outstanding issues be tween Japan and China. There ia a conviction ia official cir cles hare that sny action at this time likely to have results to warding off the new J s panose demands mast be token by the United Slates practically alone. With every evidence of sympathetic Interest by the European entente allies In the attitude of opposition which the United States took when the proposals in the "group five" originally were submitted, It is believed none of these powers will be inclined to take isaus with Japan at a moment when they are leaning heavily on their Oriental ally, not only for munitions of war, but for military and naval protection of their Interests In the Orient. Tbe close study that baa been mads ia Washington of the proposala em bodied in "group Ave" has only eon firmed officials in their original belief that if accepted in full by China, with out protest from other nations, they would lead not only to material and Industrial, bat even political domina tion of China by Japan. Japanese advisers for the Chinese government with resulting exclusion of all other foreign advisers from Pekin, it ia felt, would place Chins completely under the political control of Japan. While not prepared to make an issue on that point, however, the State de partment ia convinced the other pro visions of "group five" finally would close to American commerce and en terprise the open door ia China.

He Is abundantly abls to take rare Of him elf and, It he Is as roreelf hied as he should be hs will profit 07 the In Dsndinc ooudttlons which wUl soon make horse breeding one of tbs atoet profitable phases of animal busbaaory la this country. Henry rord and ths ruropeaa war conditions hare completely changed the aspect of the horse business la this country the first by putting ths poor horse out of business and the second by practically cleaning tbs country of the lighter and lees useful farm horses and both in causing con ditions which make tor ths advantage f the drafter. store thaa any other country ths United Rtates Is a aswr of agricultural machinery and, as our machines have become heavier and more complicated we have suffered from lack of form power. Motors will not supply this lack as they are yet too expensive both la coat and onerattoa and they do aot supply ths mobility of power af forded by the horse and seeded by tbe farmer. The reason for this lack of power Is aot tar to seek. It has bees the long continued and almost universal practice for farmers to breed their mares to the Dearest stallion regard leas of breed or type but, all the time, very regardful of the slie of the serv ice fee. Too often tbe farmer will breed his mares to a Percheroa one year, a Clyde or a Bhlre the next and thee to a standard bred, a Morgaa or a grade the next with the result that he has all kinds and types of horses oa his fsrm at the earns time. The raising of pure bred draft horses oa the farm should bow offer greater opportunities than ever be sare. I mention the drafter particular ly because he Is the only kind for the farmer and his market for his surplus animals. Never breed a mare to a stallion that la aot of her owe breed and never, under any circumstances, use a stallion that la aot better thaa the mare. Good draft horses are Just as essential as good seed or good ma chinery and the foals from pure bred parents are worth at leaat double any other kind. And tbea feed. Draft horses csanot be made without feed. Push the colt from three weeks to three years, give him plenty ef open air and exercise, and he will pay you as well as anything oa ths farm.

C Estimates were given tbe senate military committee Thursday by Brigadier General Cros ier, chief of ordnance, showing that a plant costing 8400,000,000, operated by s force of 750,000 workmtm, would be required to manufacture ammuni tion and war materials necessary to keep an army of a million men in the field and equip an additional million recruits. General Crosier strongly disap proved any proposal for government monopoly of war supplies. Insisting that best results could be accomplished by relying on private establishments to supplement the output of govern ment plants In time of war.- The committee received from Secre tary Garrison a draft of a tentative measure suggested by Senator Cham berlain, chairman of tbe committee, which would provide for the authorisa tion for the proposed continental army in general terms only, leaving the de tails of the proposed system to be worked out by War department regu lations. The original draft of a bill submitted by the War department con tained an outline of the entire system. Mr. Garrison pointed oat to the ' con gressional committee, when ha appear ed before It, however, that as the plan largely was an experimental one, it would be wise to give the President wide discretionary powers to meet problems which could be solved In the light of experience yet to be gained. The recent swift onward la the wheat markets ef the United States is causing grain men at Port land to proceed with caution. They are asking whether or not the top has been reached. Sooner or later the high limit is going to be attained and the turning point will coma without warn ing. It ia true that prices are 80 cents cheaper in the local market thaa tbey were one year ago, but it ia Just about a year ago that the crest of tbs 1914-16 market was reached, and a slump disastrous to many set in. While there may or may not be a per manent check to the rise, a reaction, at any rate, is looked for, and for that reason there has not been the keenness to bay this week that was witnessed In the preceding week. It ia also this uncertainty that is causing millers to refrain from advancing floor prices at this time. Country wheat bids were unchanged. but at the local exchange offers were raised from ft to 1 cents. Coarse grains were about steady. . - Brad tracts estimates the world's visible wheat increase si 960.000 bush els, tbe corn increase at 1,172,000 bushels, and the oats Increase at 979, 000 bushels.

A buying movement of unusually large proportions baa struck the Pacific Coast bop market. In the three states trading baa become extremely active and prices are on a firmer basis than any time this year. A Large part of the buying appears to ba for export account There are also Indications of urgent short covering. That soma of the purchases represent new business with Eastern brewers Is also certain. . Hop men are at a loss to explain the sudden boom in trade. It may be partly in consequence of the clearing off of pooled hops from the market, but It is mora than likely that the de mand for association hops is an effect rather than a causa of the flurry. A plsce abroad for a large quantity of American bops bss evidently bees found.
