GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito'
ba, dated March 18, 1910 says: That
Germany Is ~"anAious to secure a share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal." The recent ad-
justment OF the trade relations with
Germany has made 1t possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than In the
past, and considerable development
Of trade between the two Countries
Is now certain. The great men OF
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there Is consequently the deepest
Interest in every feature that VIII
tend to increase and conserve N
wheat supply. With its present $780,
100000 bushel production OF wheat
and all efforts to increase It almost
%unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of It's increasing popula-
ton, there is ceytainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be- forced as Germany is to look to

province alone raised last year one

Crete to submit to The edict Of the four

deputies to the assembly without re-

legiance to the king of Greece is con-
sidered here a triumph for the govern

mother, and the former Empress Marie
OF Russia, who were both conducting
vigorous campaign in favor of Greece's
annexation Of Crete. King George OF
Greece is brother Of Alexandra and
Marie.
Creteds decision, in the opinion Of
the foreign Office, disposed OF stu
alton in the Hellents that has been

At one time it was feared that the
