MORGAN DELIVERS
FIRST new WHEAT
AT PRICE OF $1.05

The flrs, new wheat was received at
the Richmond Roller Mills yesterday
morning. 1t was brought in by Gill
bert Morgan. from Reidston farm.
More wheat from various parts of the
county is arriving today.
The wheat is better this year than
last. according to Charles G. Carpen-
ter. manager Of the mills. The price
paid yesterday, $1.05, is cents higher
than last year. The increase is due
both to the shortage in the crop and
the excellent quality OF the grain.
Local grain dealers are not antici-
pating that the farmers will throw
their crop upon the market imme-
diately.

MEXICAN plan
FOR FINANCES

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Tentative
plans Of the de facto government of
Mexico for the rehabilitation Of the
country particularly in regard to its
finances, have been communicated to
the state department. The plans so
far as outlined are acceptable to the
officials so far consulted
Naturally, whether the plan for
building up the finances of the country
is ever put into effect, depends en-
tirely on the outcome of the direct
negotiations proposed to eliminate the
existing points Of differnce between
the United States and Mexico.
1t is admitted that when the points
are settled the Carranza government
will announce the appointment of a
financial commission Of Ave recog.
nized experts, at least two of whom
will be Americans.

TRIP Of WASP
WARNS nation
OF WEAKNESS

AMSTERDAM, July 12-In conserv'
ative quarters in Holland the arrival
of the submarine Deutschland in Am
erican waters is explained as a warn
ing to the United States that she Is
within reach of Germany's submarine
craft
This argument, tits said, is to be
used to force Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg to inform Washington
that the American government must
remind Great Britain OF its obligations
Reports from German sources state
that should the chancellor refuse to
take the step the most serious conse-
quences may be expected. It has been
rumored here for some time that Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's position as head
of the German government is seriously
menaced by internal unrest in Ger
many.

BALTIMORE, July f2.-eerman di,
pIomacy today took up the task Of
proving that German enterprise and
daring had broken the British.Freneh
blockade Of German ports and had sad.
Iy wrenehed Great Britain's control Of
the seas.
Count Won eernstorf, German am
bassador to the United States, formally
took charge Of the case Of the super

German enterprise in the person Of
the merchants who backed the trip.
and the German daring in the person
Of Captain Paul koenig. who piioted
the merchant submarine, stepped aside
for the dipIomatist.
Face Three Obstacles.
Three great obstacles confronted The
German diplomatist in his fight to
secure the acquiescence of the United
States to the proposition that the trip
of the. Deutschland marks the end OF
a legal blockade Of Germany. They
were:
The fact that only one boat has
evaded the blockading fleets, and that
one blockade runner can not be con-
sidered to have broken" blockade.
The contention that the super-sub-
in its very nature, can not be
to comply with the provi-
sions of international law governing
ships. particularly the pro.
vision which forces warships to visit
and search" suspected merchantmen.
Comes Under German View.
The contention that the Deutsch-
land, as a submarine, even If admitted
to be a merchant vessel. is under the
German view Of international law,
available to be converted into a war
vessel on the high seas.
With true German efficiency. work
was begun today to meet each Of these
points Agents of the German line
which controls the Deutschland, made
It clear that her trip was but the be-
ginning of German under-sea trade.
They declared that the Deutschland's
sister ship, Bremen, was either al
ready on her way to the United States
Or soon would be. And they asserted
hat plans were under way for the es.
adjustment of regular freight serv-
Ice by submarine, with weekly sail
ngs.
Construct Whole Fleet.
"A complete fleet of merchant sub
marines is now nearing completion"
said Paul Rilken, local agent Of the
Deutches Ocean-Rhederei, which sent
he Deutschland on her record-making
voyage. Just as soon as they can be
and manned they will
begin regular sailings for this coun-
ry. We propose to establish a service
as complete as that now
by the French and German
ines"
To indicate the feasibility of their
,lan, the Germans planned to start
he Deutschland on her return trip
ust as soon as she can be made ready
md loaded, and the legal formalities
with. Captain Koenig said
oday that unless unforeseen condi.
ions arose, the submarine would leave
Baltimore within ten days.
