Cost Of Wet Weather.

Wet weather is an expensive sum-
mer diversion, as the people Of Kan
sas have proved to their sorrow. The
state board Of agriculture figures that
there was a loss of 100000 bushels
of wheat during the month Of August
from this cause. That means at least
$15, 100000 deducted from the states
farm income and brings the Kansas
wheat yield below 10O,OOO,OOO bushels.
The abandoned area is placed at 20
per cent of last falls seeding, whereas
the loss in area figured on May / was
only 3.5 per cent Of the fall seeding.
A wet July ruined many a prime pros

LONDON BLAMEs GERMANY.
British Press Unable to See New Diff
ficulty With q. S.

London, July 2.-The British press
unanimously rejected the theory that
the U-38 was justified in sinking the
liner Armenian because she attempt
ed to escape, but made no reference to
the report that she was under charter
to the British government. The ma
jority of the newspapers, however.
took the view that the loss of Ameri-
can lives will not cause any fresh pro-
test from the United States.
The Daily Express severely criticised
the British censor for Withholding the
news from the American public by
delaying the sending of press cables
for As hours.
"That is what may be called a bull
point for the pro-Germans in Amer
ica,' said the Express. "They will
make the most of this exasperating
British interference with american
cables"
