FARMER
THE GAMER FROM
A FOREIGN WAR
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
CHICAGO, July 2s.-A general Euro
pean war would bring greatly increased
prosperity to the American farmer and
at the same time stimulate business ac-
tivity in the United States in nearly
every line, according to II. \. Carver,
commercial agent of the branch bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
here.
Ever since the new crop OF wheat
became available, there have been enor-
mour sales of wheat for export 10 Eu-
rope" Carver said today "Should war
really come in Europe, the crops there
now ready to be harvested would be
devastated there would be a trcmen-
dous demand for American grains and
the price pail the American farmer
would jump correspondingly.'
Austria already. he said, has bought
several cargoes of American wheat be-
cause of the partial failure of the Hun
parian crop. The outlook for the Rus
sian crop. which normally supplies
nearly the whole of Europe, is reported
poor and should Russia be plunged into
war all Europe would make heavy de-
mands upon America for wheat, de-
mand. Carver said, might be met out ol
the record breaking crop this year.
Indicating the importance grain
brokers attach to the situation in Eu
rope. wheat prices jumped sharply early
yesterday on war talk. Later in tho
dav IL seemed that the war would be
localized prices dropped.
American manufacturers, Carver de
clared today. should nearly double theii
exports in case of a general engagement
in Europe. Flying neutral flag
American ships could enter any Euro
pcan port. providing blockade was no
! in progress. he said while ships in Eu
ropean nations involved could be seize'
and their cargoes confscatcd.

kaiser SENDS HEIR TO
ZOPPOT AS WAR Threatens
RY KARL II. YON MIEGAND.

United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, July 2S.-Kaiser Wilhelm
is taking no chances with the Crown
Prince in the crisis which all Europe
faces.
While the powers are endeavoring
to avert a war which may plunge the
entire continent into conflict, Fred
orick Wilhelm will play tennis at Zop-
pot, seaside resort, seven miles from
Danzig. 1
The heir to the German throne to-
day received orders to remain at zop-
pot. He had been playing tennis there
and continued recreation on the
courts is the only military duty his
royal father desires of him until the
present crisis is passed. The order
issued by the Kaiser is taken as an
indication Of fear on the part of the
War Lord and his advisors that the
crown prince might be carried away
by war fever and commit some indis-
erection at Berlin that would so place
Germany as to make a conflict GER
tain.
If this is not the reason for the
exile of the Crown Prince to the ten
mis- courts, then the Germans believe
he is being punished for his recent
public endorsement of the warlike
book, "Germanys Hour of Fate"
This is not the first time the Kaiser
has seen fit to shunt the avowedly
warlike heir to the throne to some
point removed from the capital. For
an outbreak in the Reichstag when
he applauded warlike debate he was
assigned to a bleak army post. looked
upon by army men as hardly less thar
penal servitude when being compell
ed 10 serve there.
Runs on savings banks in Berlin
were renewed today. They were ever
worse than yesterday, hundreds
