most countries this season have been
favorable for only moderate yields 1t

harvests were almost over before or
soon after hostilities began.
THE grain is believed to have been
saved in generally good condition, ex-
cept in territory actually occupied by
the contending armies" the department
bulletin declared. In France. except
in the northeastern section, it was
stated, cereal crops are probably
larger than last year.
A wheat crop shortage of at least
237. 900. 900 bushels in Europe. compared
to last year, due to unfavorable condi-
tons, was predicted. The United States
will have surplus of about $4,000, 600
bushels Of wheat available for expor-
tation. The record for expectations Is
235, 10000 bushels in 1901. Last year

the official attitude of Italy in the great war drama of
Europe there turks tragedy of domestic sadness which

Secret of Modern War.

There are twelve chapters in this con-
densed volume. and in each there are
opinions or prophecies of interest In
view of the actual progress and ex-
periences of the existing conflict. Cen
eral Bernhard first discusses The
Secret of Modern WAR" and this secret.
he shows, is to solve the war riddle in
superiority by work in peace, and
through study and analysis to be SUI
preme in what the genius of the ma
tons commanders shows to be the de-
cislve factor in modern war, whatever
TINS factor may be with changing in
ventions and conditions.
Yet the author sees that 1t Is impos-
sible to gauge all the forces which will
be brought into play in a modern war.
the kind Of war which "stares' US in
He points out that whole nations are
called upoE to take the field against
each other" that they will fight with
weapons Of a model more -perfect' than
has hitherto existed. and that the pro-
portionate numbers Of infantry, cav
airy. and artillery will be uuie differ
ent from former times.
Bernhard indicates that he felt some
qUalms Just as to how Germany might
enter the next war. and he foresaw that
favor as at the start Of the war of 1871
and the war against Austria ia- 1856

foresaw plainly what has proved true
