Russia Reports Crops
Break Recent Records
[By Cable TO The Tribune. ]

Petrograd Aug. 3O.-A dispatch to
"The London Daily Mail" says that NJ.
Krivosheen, Minister of Agriculture,
has given definite assurances in figures
about the Russian harvest which com
pletely dispel all doubts thrown by
German agents on its unusual size and
value. In Siberia, il is true, the year
has not been favorable and the yield of
grain is below the average, but the
amount of Siberian wheat is negligible
compared with the yield of Southern
Russia, and the proportion available for
export is small.
in Russia itself the harvest is not
only far better than that of 1914, but
also a great deal above the average Of
the last FIVE years.
Taking all crops together these hg-
ures indicate that the yield will be
about 2,000,000000 bushels. The win
ter-sown grain is harvested already,
and also a large proportion of spring
sown crops. The figure arrived at
is 446. 100000 bushels better than last
years total, and Poi 100000 in excess
of the fve-year average.
OF wheat, altogether there will be
harvested ST., 100000 bushels, against
42S, 900, 900 in 1914, and a fve-year
average of 47s,000,000 bushels. For ex-
port there will be available some $780,
600, 900 bushels.
The difficulty Of finding sufficient
harvesters has been successfully over
come, and there will not be any diff
Guilty in transporting wheat to Black
Sea ports as soon as grain ships can
pass through the Dardanelles. Great
quantities of grain are at these ports
already awaiting the success of opera
tiong in Gallipoli.

SHOTS AT PERISCOPE
KEEP U-B0ATS OFF
British Transport Makes Pursu-
ing Raider Keep Diving.

Baltimore, Aug. 3o.-The pursuit Of
British transport by a German sub
marine while the transport was trying
to hit the periscope Of the undersea
boat was witnessed by Captain Mikkel-
sen, of :he Danish steamship Olaf,
which arrived d.; I'm Bris ,ol,
England.
Captain Mikkesen said that on Au-
gust 10. the day after the Olaf left
Bristol. the transport was seen going
at a high rate Of speed and from time
to time firing At the periscope of the
submarine. The distance between the
vessels was less han two miles, and
at short intervals the submarine would
rise to the surface, exposing its peri
scope, and dive again TO escape the fire
from the transport.
81 coLlG not make out the name of
the transport on account Of the dis
lance" said Captain Mikkelsen. "but

could see that the submarine was max
ing a determined attempt to get in a

il was successful | do not know. for
when last seen the race was being con-
tinued. The submarine was a fast one
and the transport was only holding Its

Won Bernstorff Reported
Informed of Berlin Note

The outline Of a German note to the
United States has been sent TO count
Won Bernstorff. Germ an Ambassador,
by the Berlin government, according to
q rumor prevalent yesterday at the
PITT Carlton Hotel, where the Ambas-
sador is staying. In reply TO questions
Count Won Bernstorff would neither
affirm nor deny that he had received
such a dispatch. DR.. Frederick Elder,
his secretary, also declined TO discuss
the matter.
From persons close to the Ambassa-
dor il was learned that Count Won
Bernstorff feels justltable pride IN
the conciliatory attitude the German
government is said TO have assumed
with regard to the American demands
relative to submarine warfare and the
safety Of American lives and property.
They pointed out that the count had
worked day and night to strengthen
the worn out thread on which the
friendly relations between this coun-
try and Germany had been suspended
since the Lusitania incident last April.
That the Ambassador is much re-
Heyed By the turn in the situation is
shown by the cheerful expression Of
his face and the ease with which he
mingles among the other guests in the
Ritz, Carlton. The heavy lines of care
and worry which recently furrowed
his face have almost disappeared, and
he no longer secretes himself in his
apartments.
Yesterday was Captain Boyd, naval
attache of the German Embassy. He

British Exports Move
Freely to All Neutrals

From lDe lnDune bureau
Washington, Aug. Shipments Of
many classes of goods from the United
States TO neutral countries are attended
with great difficulties and hazards, -
while shipments of the same classes
of goods by Great Britain to the same
countries "are going forward freely
and in some cases in largely increased
quantities." is the statement Of Robert
P. Skinner, American Consul General
in London, in a report to the State De-
partment on the condition of Great
Britain's foreign trade.
Consul General Skinner says that
British exports Of cotton to neutral
countries for the year ended August
5 totalled 445,s43 bales, as compared
with 271, 9se bales in the corresponding
period of 1914 and 3l5,757 bales ir
1918. OF the British exports this year
nearly one-half, or 220.s47 bales, rep
resented cotton shipped from the
United States. In 1914 American cot
ton represented in the Brush exports
was 106,8S2 bales and in 1918 1882
bales.
While British exports Of cotton man
ufactures showed a decrease as a
whole, there were some notable in
creases, especially to neutral countries.
Great Britain found Argentina a good
market, for instance, exports to that
country in July of this year showing
large increases.
