friend. Those who buy on the breaks
are mainly taking profits on previous
short sales. Hedging sales that come
into the market zach day appear suf-
ficient to satisfy all buyers and offset
the effect of the little pull news. Com
mission houses with country n
tons are getting selling orders to
harvested. Sentiment is SO bearish that
some traders are afraid to sell short
on the breaks. The short interest is
regarded as large, but, with hedging
sales increasing, the bears do not
scare as easily as they have in the
past.

Corn bulls who sold out during the
day said after the close that they did
. because there was too much selling
by the strong local interest that has
been on the bear side for several
months. They said that they did not
like the continued decline in wheat
and were disappointed at the lack Of
buying support from the country. The
selling yesterday was not as heavy as
the previous day, but it was more than
the trade wanted. There are a num-
her Of local traders who are long Sep
tember at higher prices than last
nights close who stick to the bull side
in anticipation of the market turning
upward within a few days. Reports
from Iowa and Illinois and Nebraska
say stocks in elevators and farmers
hands are small, and they are not ex-
pected to sell until they are assured
Of the new croD prospects.

GERMAN AMBASSADOR
 TOPR0Bf CENSORSHIP
Count von Bcrns|oIf After Action Of U. $. Against German Wireless.

New York, Aug. 26.-Count Johann Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador who arrived here Mon day from Europe, said yesterday he planned to remain in New York until Thursday before proceeding to Wash- aington. The ambassador declared he wanted to get at first hand informa- tion concerning the censorship the United States is exercising over the German-owned wireless station at Sayville, N. Y., and It's refusal to grant the one at Tuckerton, N. J., a license.
 Count Won Bernstorff pointed out that with the cables to England un- censored. the representatives of Great Britain in this country were at liberty to forward to their govern ment information concerning the movements of German warships or any other information that might be deemed advisable. He said he had formed no opinion yet upon the sub- ject and wanted to be fully informed before even contemplating taking up the censorship question with the state department at Washington.

Since, however, the Belgian government has seen fit to have pub- lished additional accusations, I cannot help saying that official reports from Liege to Berlin informed us that the citizens there had fired at German troops from windows and had shot at doctors and nurses wearing Red Cross arm bands and under the Red Cross flag. Furthermore the citizens muti- lated wounded German soldiers"
 Count Won Bernstorff said he be- lieved there were about twelve Ger man army corps and eight Austrian army corps along the Vistula riv- er Germany's first line of defense against Russia. There are about 1000 men in these corps
 Germany Not to Blame.
 The ambassador said he wished to reiterate for the benefit of the people of the United States that Germany was not to blame for going to war.
 As matter of fact,'' he said, "the German government told Austria to go as easy as she could with Servia and that in the meanwhile Germany would try to see what she could do toward quieting Russia. While these peace negotiations were in progress Russia modified her army. What right has Russia to stand up for Ser via? The reason she has done so Is that she seeks the destruction of Aus tria. Every man in Germany feels the same as I do about this matter. The attitude of the socialists proves this and the truth is bound to come out in time. The reason the English

The great battle which is now in full swing along the whole French, British and Belgian line is really series of linked battles, forrr- ing what may be the decisive engage ment of western Europe. 1t is a su- preme effort on the part of Germany to break into France, an effort which, if stopped must mean disaster tc three-quarters of a million German soldiers. There seem to be no sol diers left to guard the German line of communication. All is being hazarded upon the success or the fail- ure of this blow. The German ad. vance has been rapid and steady. Their columns have averaged twenty miles day since they reached Brus- sels.''
