Rome. July 11.-Kaiser Wilhelm
sand Emperor Franz Josef have sent
IAN urgent request to Gar Ferdinand
that he dispatch Bulgarian troops to
-the Galician and Trentino fronts to
help check the Russian and Italian Of
fensives
This information was received from
Geneva today. A delegation of Austro-
German military and diplomatic Off
Gals arrived at Sofia Sunday, carrying
the request They pointed out to the
Bulgarian ruler that continued sue
cesses for the Russians and Italians
would bring Rumania into the war
and that Bulgaria would then be
squeezed between the Rumanian army
on the north and the allied forces in
Greece and crushed.
Still Fear SaloniI<i Drive.
Car Ferdinand replied that the
withdrawal of Bulgarian troops for
service in Ga1icia or on the Italian
front would invite an immediate at
tack by the allies from Saloniki. He
promised, however, to submit the ap-
peal to the Bulgarian general staff.
The steady advance of the Russians
through southeastern Galicia has
forced the Austrians to withdraw sew
eral Hungarian divisions from the
Trentino front. These have been re-
.D1aced by Croats and Poles.
The Austrian losses in the unsuc-
ressfuf offensive against the Trentino
front, and in the Italian counter-of-
fensive have totalled 150, 900 it is esti-
mated here. The Italians already
have won back nearly all the territory
occupied by the Austrians in their
drive. though the concentration of
heavy Austrian guns has impeded
their progress.

In Kaw Valley.
1.-THE threshing returns the past two
or three days in the Kaw' valley in
Dictated a yield of twenty-five to thirty
bushels per acre, many fields going as
high as thirty-five bushels. This por-
ton of the state, by experts and 9TH
ers, has been credited with about
seventeen to twenty bushels.
'In the great. wheat belt, or the cen
trail portion of the state, the yields are
running from fifteen to twenty three
bushels generally. as against an esti-
mate of twelve to fifteen bushels. This
condition, undoubtedly prevails all
over Kansas. as have heard of wheat
testing as high as sixty-three pounds
to the bushel in the western part of
the state, especially around Ellis and
Plainville, Kansas. The above is the
basis for my estimate of the present
crop.
