London Aug 22.-The shooting season IN

Not many Americans have taken shootings
and there is less entertaining than usual In the

golf in preference to grouse.

Sir Ed,card Grey Takes Lead IN
Directing Mating Policy.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribune
rCon, rI<ht IfspS by The Tribune Assoclntion.


London, Aug o2.-Sir Edward Grey is taking
the lead in directing the policy of the powers
in relation to Turkey. This is naturally walt
ing policy. with a sympathetic attitude toward
administrative reform. There are omfnous signs
of reaction, both in Macedonia and Armenia
but the Young Turk leaders are acting with re-
markable self-restraint and sanity and the gen
erai situation is improving.
Everybody In Turkey Is now an ardent consti-
tutionalist from the Sultan down. Even the
Sultan's fallen favorite, Izzet Pacha- has con-
fessed to William Maxwell that he has been
hankering after constitution all along, ana
that his imperial master has never-wantcd any
thing else. This zeal for representative 1nsu-
tutions is likely to continue until IT Is known
whether the new Parliament, meeting IN Novem-
ber can find money for the back pay OF the
army and officials and for carrying on the reform
administration The Young Turks are seeking to
restore confidence among the powers in order 10
float a foreign loan. and this ought not to be dI-
ficult since the engagements with foreign bond
holders have been kept for twenty-five years
notwithstanding the increasing deficits and con-
fusion of internal finance.
The welcome given to the American fleet at
Sydney has been sympathetcally recorded by the
English press. 1t is accepted a sign that
the American navy, trained by long voyages
and constant gun practice, is instrument for
the creation of good feeling and the preserva-
ton of peace, and not a weapon for use in an
insane race conflict between whites and Asiat-
les for the mastery of the Pacific Ocean.

Paris. Aug. 22-The French wheat crop is now
being harvested under favorable conditions, and
according to information obtained to-day at the
Ministry of Agriculture the total crop will Yield
100 100000 hectolitTes which is 100000 hec-
tolitres less than last years crop This de
ficienCy is atOned for by the excellent quality.
The average annual home consumption of wheat
in France is 25,0O0,000 hectolitres. but owing to
the abundant supply remaining in the granaries
from the exceptional crop of 1907 France will
not need TO import any foreign wheat during the
coming twelve months.
The French vintage, owing to the fine. sunny
weather of the last three weeks, will be gathered
a fortnight earlier than usual, and will be ex
ceptionally abundant. 1t is estimated at 49,
100000 hectolitres exclusive of Algeria In the
champagne region the vines have suffered from
midew and the vintage there will be inferior

the Bordeaux district and in Burgundy are av-
