DR.. Heine gave the government four
weeks. until the assembling OF the

government has received some va IlI
dozen earlier warnings of a similar

Heine called attention to the erect
caused by the emperors lmpulslVe
statements which sometimes -un
counter to the ostensible policy OF the
government.
Altho not mentioned in the cen

ably had particularly in mind his re-
cent utterance in regard to England,
which he pointed out as Germany's
arch enemy, which must be defeat
ed at any cost.
Chancellor Responsible.
DR. Heine appears to have demand
ed freedom for the press to discuss
such utterances of the emperor. Herr
Erzberger asked whether Chancellor
AIichaelis assumed responsibility for
what was said by the emperor. For
eign Secretary Won Keulhmann re-
piled that the representative at great
headquarters of the foreign office was
informed concerning the speeches
and that the chancellor assumed re-
sponsibility
AS had been expected, the mislead-
ing "denials'' by the foreign office of
Premier Kerensky's statement that a
separate peace offer had been made
recently to Russia and of the MESA ge
said by former Ambassador Gerard
to have been sent by Emperor Will
liam to President Wilson at the out
break of the war were brought up for
criticism. Herr Erzberger said the
official communications were coming
into wide discredit abroad owing to
the many self evident contradictions
in them.

North Dakota delega ton, Congress-
man Baer. non-partisan, said:
THE price set is a monstrous injus-
tice to, and discrimination againct,

ducers in the south have sold their
crop at the top market price. Gam
blers have been receiving SO 60 d
bushel in Chicago for imaginary
wheat. Now the farmer comes along
with high grade grain and is PEN
allied by the beneficent food admin
istration. The government has broken
faith with the northwest producers. ,"
Other congressman said that not one
farmer in twenty raised the No.
northern grade wheat, which alone
commands the price the government
set Much wheat, they said, will sell
well below the So mark.
Baer said that limiting middlemen s
profits would do the consumer more
good than any price imposed on the
producer.
"On the open I arket." said Sena-
tor johnson. South Dakota, the farm
er could get SO to $3.50 a bushel for
his wheat. The government, there

Washington, Aug. 31.-Any German
attempt to increase submarine fright

cause of President Wilson's reply to

measures from this country.

day. that the U-boats will fail.
Some believe Germany may plan to
launch larger submarines than the
S00-ton type. This would give the
patr,l stiffer work, but would not
make the situation much worse than
it has been for months, said one of
the experts,
