HEAT SAID TO BE
DESTROYING GRAIN
CROPS IN GERMANY
Drouth, Similar to That of Last
Year, Unbroken Since
Early in May.

COPENHAGEN. June 25.-
Throughout Germany, according to
reports here, all valuable grain crops
are burning up, as they did in 1915,
in an unprecedented heat wave. Ber-
lin on Sunday experienced the hottest
June Il on record in the 20 years eX
rerience Of the Weather Bureau.
Tropical temperatures also were re-
ported elsewhere west Of the Oder
river. News reports of horse races
and other sporting events feature the
terrific abnormal. scorching'' heat.
Many horses were scratched on the
opening day of the Ham burg Derby
week because the track, built on
marshy corner moor. was baked too
hard for safety.
The Weather Bureau states that the
prospects for rain or lower tempera-
lures are very slight. The effect of
the drouth on grain crops around
Berlin. where only eight milimeters
(about g inch) of rain has fallen
since MAY /. is described by a neutral
who arrived here Friday as almost
catastrophsl.
The sunday sermon writers in the
Berlin Kreuz Zeitung, who recently
INDUCED in most startling blending
o. religion and politics, declared sun
Cay that the drouth was sent as a
punishment for the sins of the peo-
pie. for listening to the editors of
irreligious papers. and asked how
long it would be before this divine
chastisement would bring the people
to a sense Of their iniquities.
