LONDON, July 25.-Wide difference
OF opinion has arisen and the ground
prepared for controversy among the
political leaders by the government s
decision that the subjects of the Allies
in the war residing in England shall
either enlist in the British Army o:
be deported.
Particular objection to the decision
has been engendered in so far as it
may effect Russian subjects here who
may be political refugees, large ele-
ment of the more liberal thinkers in
public life priding themselves in the
traditional asylum offered by England
in this respect. Herbert Samuel, Sec
rotary of the Home Office, stated in
the House of Commons that the plan
to deport those falling to enlist
would not be enforced in the case of
Russian subjects, if a tribunal decid-
ed that they are political refugees.
The suggestion has been made that
instead of sending back to their OWL
country Russian Jews who have lett
Russia for reasons known to every
body, though they are not exactly po-
litical refugees, they should be sent
to America or deported to some
other neutral country of their choice
The desire to avoid offending Rus
ian susceptibilities on the subject is
general, for which reason the question
is regarded as one of unusual delicacy.
One group holds that the sending
back of Russian Jews to their OWE
country would crafty no important
Russian sentiment, and might effect
the reverse result. The true inward
ness of the situation, according to
the London correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian, is that Englishmel
taken into the army under conscription
resent the immunity of Russian Jews
and regard them as Job stealers."
The correspondent gives the follow
ing letter on the subject received by
him from a Russian correspondent;
This step will have a most unfor-
tunate effect upon Russian opinion,
which is the chief support in Russia
OF Anglo-Russian friendship, an:
which builds all it's hopes for Rus
sia's future upon the propagation of
the British spirit of freedom and in
dividual liberty. Russian liberals will
regard the deportation threat WITH
particular dismay an unexpected All
staggering concession to the long
cherished but always hitherto baffled
desire of the Russian bureaucracy to
secure the extradition of Russian po-
litical refugees.
England is the great country OF
Europe that has always hitherto pro.
tected political refugees, and as such
it has quite a unique standing in the
eyes of Russian reformers of all
shades. 1t would be quite impossible
for an Englishman to realize the feel

HIGH PRICES ON ALL
CROPS IS PROSPECT

While conditions generally are sat
isfactory, still the indications are that
this country will not see bumper
crop. Three weeks ago this was pos
sible, but now, according to crop ex.
perts there is no such prospect in
sight, or can be.
In some sections, the rains and the
floods have played havoc, while in
some others winds and even frosts
have damaged the crops no little. IN
other localities, particularly California,
Oregon and Washington, the drouth
will lower the average.
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, with favorable weather the
rest of the season, will produce an ay-
crate crop of hay, grain, potatoes and
tobacco.
Only exceptionally favorable weather
will Offset the damage already done In
New York state.
Heavy rains in New Jersey, Della
ware and Pennsylvania have damaged
corn and tobacco. Under most favor
able conditions the crop will not be
matured until late in September.
Tobacco and hemp crops in Ohio and
Kentucky will more than offset any
damage done to wheat and corn by
heavy rains.
In Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas
and West Virginia, general crop condi-
tions are favorable. An abundant har-
vest is predicted. A dry May prevented
good stands of cotton and necessitated
some replanting.
The cotton fields of Alabama, Geor-
gia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana need warm weather. Tie
corn crop is reported the best in years.
June was cold and wet in Iowa, Wis
consin, Illinois and Indiana, and corn
and vegetable planting was delayed.
Corn will probably furnish a satisfac-
tory crop, however, if it receives warm
growing weather.
The prospects for wheat, especially
il Illinois, are none too good. Assat-
isfactory crop of oats and corn is pre-
dicted. With the exception of peaches,
the fruit crop is favorably commented
upon. Michigan gives promise of
large fruit yield.
In Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota
and northern Michigan, conditions indi-
cate the crop harvest will show good
average yield of all small grain, a.
though the total crop will be somewhat
less and the corn crop short.
1t is estimated Kansas will harvest

On the whole the condition of wheat
is good in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado,
Wyoming and Oklahoma. The quality
of alfalfa was heavy and of fine quail
ity.
Texas and New Mexico are harves,~
iEg the small grain crop under favor.
able conditions. Due to drouth and
frosts there is a substantial decrease
in acreage. The average yield, too, is
less than in 1915.
The crops of California, Washington
Oregon, Utah and Arizona will be less
than the average, but farmers and fruit
growers are contracting for sale Of
their products at more than twice the
price received last year.
The grain crop this year will be from
&c to 80 per cent less than in 1915, ow-
ing to unusual drouth during the
spring in some sections of California.

Van, who is directing the serial had
rushed over and picked up Miss Stor
ey apparently none the worst for her
daredevil ride. Mr.. Williams is tsand-
ing on Miss Storeys left, and Wally
Van, the director, at her right.
The location selected for staging
this thriller was lined with people who
gathered to watch it's finale. What
really saved Miss Storey from serious
injury was the soft earth thrown up to
break her fall.
1t would have been easy to substi-
tute dummy for Miss Storey, but this
popular Vitagraph player insisted cn
seeing the scene through herself.
