some Of the exporters who are re-
ported as sellers Of wheat when there
IS every indication that they will be-
compelled 10 purchase heavily within
the immediate future 10 secure their
requirements. Offerings Of wheat at
lower prices than they are said to be
bidding in the country has been the
favorite method Of some interests in
trying to stem the tide Of higher
prices
There is no doubling the full
strength Of the wheat situation. For
while some interests were inclined TO
believe that the strength was entirely
an artificial one. due 10 the tight
holding by northwest growers, but this
f has proved to be a false view. The
whole worlds trade is showing ex-
ueme strength for wheat; in fact. the
strength today at foreign centers is
fully as pronounced as the previous
bearishness.
Europe is Famished.

Press Association, when through the
influence of Emil Wittsak of ManitoNpc,
president OF the association, all at

The German Herold OF Milwaukee,
calling attention to Mr., Wittsak's eff
forts, now asks him If he would have
been so energetic II he had not recently
been appointed to an internal revenue
agency under the Democratic Admins

GERMANS HERE DIVIDED.
KoeIbIe's Statement Arouses Wide
Variety Of Opinions.

There is a division OF German American
opinion in New York regarding Alphonse
G. Koelble's statement that In the event
OF war between Germany and the United
States growing out of the Lusitania and
Arabic cases German Americans would
not fight against the fatherland in an
unjust cause"
The Rev. DIR. 4. b. Moldenke. pastor
OF st. Peters Lutheran Church al Lex
ington avenue n Flfty-fourth street,
said that the question hinged on whether
the cause was Just" or not.
'In the event of tho United States
becoming involved with Germany in a
Just cause" he said. the German
Americans would take up arms for this
country. II the cause was not just
they would not. In no case would they
take up arms or agitate against this
country"
Asked who would be the judges
whether the American cause was Just
or not DIR. Moldenke said that Congress
or the Gcrinan Americans themselves
would have to decide this. Congress
might be placed in such a position that
IL would have to declare war" he said,
even though IL was unjust II In utterly
ridiculous for The President OF the
United States TO urge Americans to get
out Of Mexico and not to advise them
to stay of belligerent ships. In this
do not consider mat he has shown true
