Weather and Crop Report.

Denver-Last week was character
lied by marked cloudiness, frequent
showers, heavy rain in localities, es-
pecially in the south-central counties,
and weekly mean temperature below
the seasonal average, says the United
States weather report. In the west
ern valleys the deficiency in tempera-
ture was quite marked. Satisfactory
crop growth has been nearly general.
The Improvement in the condition OF
the ranges have been marked. Small
grain is being harvested and in a few
localities threshing is under way. The
harvesting of the second crop of al
falfa has started on the Eastern slope
and will be general within few days;
the yield is generally good. The con-
dition OF alfalfa, sugar beets, corn
and pastures is exceptionally good.
Early potatoes are being marketed in
the western part Of the state and early
fruit is being shipped from western
fruit districts. Cherries and berries
are practically picked on the eastern
slope. The prospect for tomatoes,
melons and cantaloupes is excellent.

repeatedly demonstrated its prefer

for liberating the Servian brothers
from the Austrian yoke has been kept
up with frequent outbursts of anti
Austrian clamor in Belgrade. To this
clamor Russia, always Jealous Of Aus
tria, has lent her secret and some
times her open support.
The annexation of Bosnia-Herze
govina by Austria in 1909 produced a

Pashitch was premier of Servia in
1912, at the outbreak of the Balkan
war. He saw an opportunity to block

Aegean sea. The first objective points
of the Servian armies in the first war
were the ports Of the Adriatic, in

which also had pretensions to the
country inhabited by the aboriginal
stock OF the Balkan peninsula, the
Austrian government succeeded in in
ducing Europe to order Servia, Greece
and Montenegro out Of the Adriatic
territory occupied by them, and set
aside this region as an independent
state, to be called Albania.
Servians Nursed Their Wrath.
The negotiations which Pashitch
conducted in this phase OF the Balkan
struggle were protracted and delicate,
but eventually the Austro-Italian de-
mand was carried out. and the Ser

as an ultimate triumph for Servian
arms is concerned.
In the course OF the past score OF
years Servia has been conducting an
active agitation among the Slavic
population of southern Austria, and

rancor.
This agitation, 1t has been pointed
out by Berchtold, was the direct cause
of the tragedy at Sarajevo, when the
archduke and his morganatic wife fell
by bullets fired by a Servian. The
Austrian minister of foreign affairs
demonstrated in the judicial inquiry
that followed the crime, that Servian
officials, civil and military. had been
involved in the events that led to the
assassination.

suppression of the anti-Austrian agi-
tation in Belgrade, followed promptly.
in the midst of the preoccupation Of
the triple entente.
Berchtold realizes more clearly than
anybody else that he has challenged
the entire Slav world, with the excep-

not with Servia, but with Russia,
which has stood back Of Servia in her
attacks upon Austria.
NikoIa Pashiteh, Servian Premier.
Nikola Pashitch, premier and min

In EmbroaIio.

Count Leopold Berchtold, a quiet
man, with English manners, sitting at
a desk In the foreign office in Vienna
such is the unimposing presence OF
the Austro-Hungarian statesman who
precipitated a situation more serious
to Europe than any that has arisen
since the events that Immediately pre-
ceded the FrancoP Prussian war. And
the most extraordinary feature of the
crisis is that 1t should have arisen di-
rectly out OF the assassination, by a
Servian. of Francis Ferdinand, the
archduke who in his life time was re-
garded as the firebrand of Europe.
Thus the archduke. after death, as he
was in life, remains the great menac-
ing factor in the affairs of European
Christendom.
Count Berchtold assumed the port
folio of foreign affairs at Vienna upon
the retirement of Count Won Aehren-
thai, who put through the act, of an
nexation of Bosnia Herzegovina, which
set in motion the wild passions that
eliminated in the assassination OF the
Austrian heir to the throne.
russia Back Of Servia.
When he took office as the director
OF the foreign Office, Berchtold found a
situation full of portent. Servia. in
censed by Austria's absorption OF ter
ritories which formerly had belonged
to Turkey and to which Servia consid-
cred itself the heir. because they are
populated largely by a people of Serb
race, was clamoring for the undoing of
that which had been accomplished by
the decree of annextion. Behind the
camor at Belgrade could be heard the
sinister undertone of the growl of the
Russian bear.
Berchtold set himself to work to re-
duce relations to a normal basis. Be-
hind him were the two other members
of the triple alliance-Germany and
ltaly-and opposing him were Russia,
the self-imposed protector of all the
Slavic nations. including Servia, and
the two other members of the triple
entente. Great Britain and France.
Broke Up Balkan League.
Then came the Balkan war in 1912,
In which the Bulgarian and Servian
slavs crushed the power of Turkey in
Europe. The formation of the Balkan
alliance and the utter defeat of Turkey
were startling events which caught
Berchtoid mapping. His next move
was to break up the Balkan league by
stimulating the land hunger of Servia
and Greece. with their ally. Montene-

garia. which was the predominant mil.

| was riding in the subway when two women
facing each other were engaged in an ami
mated conversation without words. Not
sound escaped their lips; yet they were talk
ing and smiling, using all the little suggestive
shrugs of the shoulders and raising of the
eyebrows that denote intense interest in
their conversation. l pondered a moment
in silence, and did not grasp the key to the
situation until one of them laughed and ex-
plodcd with glce:
That's fine, Mabel! I could read every

Then it dawned upon me. They were

They were not deaf, far from it,-they had
keen ears, and could shear" all that their
neighbors in the car said; but no one could
hear them. Lip reading is being taken up
extensively because it enables people to dis
cuss their secrets openly and fagrantly in
public; but it takes a lot of practice to
learn to express yourself in soundlcss con-
vcrsation SO another can read you. The
new soundless method of lip reading is be-
ing taught to great advantage to those who

in conversation. But of course the secrets
thus passed boldly from lip to lip will no
longer be secrets when we all learn this new
method of soundless conversation.
We owe lip reading to the deaf people,

their number which shows the wonderful
adaptivencss of the human animal to his
environments. The loss of one organ need
not necessarily handicap one for life. l met
