Are Largely Conservatives.

The new ministers in the German
cabinet have been recruited largely
from the conservative ranks, the Prus-
sian under secretaries and heads of the
provincial bureaucracy being tradition
ally of that political persuasion. Ex-
ceptions are the Parliamentarians Won
Krause. nationalist vice president of
the Prussian diet. who. however, be-
longs to the conservative wing of that
party. and DR.. Peter SPAIN, the aged
Catholic leader. whose health is so poor
that it is doubtful whether he will be
able to stand the strain of ministerial
labors. He collapsed and tainted in a
reichstag committee meeting recently.
He has not yet fully recovered.
Herr Won Krause's appointment is a
compliment to the Prussian bar, of
which he is a prominent member. Herr
Won Waldow. head of the imperial food
ministry, lis an agrarian conservative
representing the interests which ham
pered the work of his predecessor.
Herr Won Batocki. in every possible
way. Herr Won Graevinitz, who as un-
der secretary of the imperial chancel-
lery. occupies a position akin to the
Presidents secretary in America. also
is prQninent as conservative.

SCOTS at Appointments.

blatt, SCOTS at all the appointments
except that of DIR. Won Kuehlmann,
whom he advises to use his elbows
vigorously to gain room to run his
own department and prevent intrusion
by DR.. Helfferich.
The Loka1 Anzeiger also advises a
firm policy and holds out as an entice-
ment the glittering opportunity OF
leading the premier military power of
the world to that just and permanent
peace which will be as great vic
tory for Germany on the diplomatic
field as that of Hindenburg on the field
of war. The Anzeiger's adoption of the
phrase peace by understanding" does
not imply any changes of heart in the
paper, which is committed absolutely
to a powerful pan-German peace.

oy Secretary Houston today. in
which he suggests particular ways in
which housewives can render definite
national service
Il urge not only that every home
assist In the conservation of the sur
plus perishable fruits and vegetables

To that end il is specifically recon-
nended that women call their organi-
cations together for discussion of con-
'ervation work. that demonstrations in
canning and preserving be given and

COPENHAGEN. August T.-Will Dr.

vice chancellor, be the real director of
foreign policy under the administra-
ton of DR.. Michaelis. the imperial
German chancellor? This is the po-
litical problem of the hour in connec-
ton with the shake-up of the cabinet
in Germany. 1t is known the versatile
DR.. Helfferich desires to have a hand
in steering Germany's new course in
world politics after the war and it is
rumored that the new chancellor. I'M
acquainted as he is with international
affairs, desires to retain the ex-bank
director CDR. Helfferich) as his special
adviser and mouthpiece, particularly
for this field.
In fact, one of the avowed reasons
for DR.. Helfferich's retention, despite
his present appropriately in the reichs-
tag. was that his services are indis-
pensable in peace negotiations. The
Berlin Tageblatt. the Lokal Anzeiger
and the Vossische Zeitung all refer to
the possibility of conflict, as DR.. Won
Kuehlmann. it Is understood. is disin-
clined to permit himself to be relegated
to subordinate place.

Shows Dissatisfaction.

: The Tages Zeitung shows its dis
satisfaction in a short, cool. non-com-
initial paragraph of greeting to the
new administration and by giving far
more space to sketches of the depart
ing statesmen than Biographies of the
new appointees. Herr zimmerman.
ex-foreign secretary. in an article in
the Lokal Anzeiger. scolds DIR. Michaelis
for jettisoning those tried and trusty
officials in favor of political novices
of untried worth. The Vossische lei
tung severely criticises the appoint
ments OF DIR. Helfferich and DIR. Won
Kuehlmann on the ground that both
favor the rapprochement Of England
and not of Russia as a basis of post
bellum policy. 1t says DR.. Helfferich
was DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg's evil
genius in foreign affairs, who first de-
layed unrestricted summarizing by get
ting out statistics and then discredited
it by impossible predictions.

Consideration for Catholics.

second feature of the shake-up
is the consideration shown the Cath
Ollie center party, whose demand for
representative in the imperial and
Prussian cabinets for the Roman Cath
Ollie population was recognized by the
appointment of three Roman Cath
olics@Spahn, Waldow and Kuehlmann
With a revocation of the anti-Jesuit
and Polish appropriation laws, also
part of the centrist program, that
party is considered to have done very
well as a result of the parliamentary
crisis.
While the radical and socialist press
Is dissatisfied at the absence OF any
marked concession to parliamentarism
in the new cabinets. and at the failure
to consult the reichstag In any way
on the appointments. newspapers of
the opposite camp are aggrieved at
the shelving of DIR. Beseler. Prussian
minister of justice: Count Loebeil.
Prussfan minister of the interior, and
Baron Won Schorlemer. Prussian min

While there were few sellers around the
ring at the start. offerings became heayr

market was more orderly during the middh
of the morning, with active months fuliAo
about 67 to rs points net higher.
Traders around the ring seemed unceFs
tain as to whether the sensational openine
advance was to be ascribed to the influencl
of the official war declaration, which CAM

of another small crop.
Probably the market reflected a combine

CHICAGO, April 9.--There was a sensa-
tional break in the wheat market today
under heavy selling. The drop followed
new high records early in the session,
when Saturdays bullish Government crop
report continued the influence.
Restrictions have been placed on the cir
culation Of the private crop reports, but
unfavorable advices continued to come to
hand. Further sharp gains occurred in the
spot article
Millers were reported to be purchasing
futures freely in the Northwest Many of
the larger commission houses discouraged
business in options other than hedging oper-
ations. Fluctuations throughout the session
were violent and the feeling was decidedly
nervous.
There was some covering and final prices
were above the bottom.
May. after having touched s2l5, broke
to $2.o6, closing at $2.O7 to s2.O6%, against
$2.l2A at the end Saturday. July, after
having advanced to $1.91ls, dropped to
$1.82%. finishing at s1.S5 to $1.S4A, com.
pared with $1.SSss, Saturdays last price.

fell to $1.69h, closing at $1.70% to s1.7O1a,

it was too early to make an accurate fore

b. w. Snow said that no one could safely
generalize on the wheat crop of Kansas,
The visible supply in the United States de-
creased 1,S44,000 bushels to 37,474,OOO

in session. Shipments from North America
for the week were 100000 bushels, the
United Kingdom getting 2,019,0OO bushels
and France $4,000 bushels.
Corn also suffered severe losses, but
ended above the bottom There was free
unloading by the larger longs. At one
time the market was strong on good buying.
Field work is advancing seasonably under
fairly favorable weather conditions. The

was there any great amount OF activity or

was a rush of shorts to cover and a broad
