THR CROPS IN TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
As the grain crop in England and Northern Europe has
failed this year. those countries must look to America and
TO the Black Sea for food. One who has never lived IN
Constannope hardly realize the immense amount Of
grain which goes out OF the Bosphors AT almost any

country, with the alternative of having their Threats cut
The jews will ho invited to follow the Turks and faith
but that Of the Greek Church will be tolerated.
