gary's submission now is declared to
be complete both in a military and
economic sense. The German Off
GERS commanding her armies, abe:-
ted by political and industrial a
gents scattered thru the country by
Germany, evidently are holding the
Austrian and Hungarian populations
in a union which neither the hard
ships of the war, the death of the
emperor, nor the inspiration of out
side influences such as the Russian
revolution, can break.
Bulgaria's declaration of war on
the side of germany was actuated
by a German diplomatic coup, which
in itself is regarded now as fur
ther evidence that clear road thru
to the Dardanelles was considered in
Berlin as a primary and imperative
purpose of the war.
Turkey Completely Dominated.
In the case of Turkey, German
domination is believed here to be ev-
en- more complete than in Austria
Hungary and Bulgaria. 1t has been
learned that German Industrial or
ganizations have taken a firm grip
on Turkish industry and large del
egation of German professors has
been sent to spread German kultur
among the population.
Fitting in squarely with an actu-
ating desire for conquest to the
southeast, is the German military
policy during the entire war.
All of this is taken as revealing
the peril Of a premature peace,
which should leave the German
southeastern domains unbroken. 1t
is regarded as giving sinister COL
or to recent movements for separ-
ate peace for Austro-Hungary or
Bulgaria, in the region where Ger
man conquest is most safe, to the
eagerness with which German lead
ers have taken up the cry of mo
annexations," so far as the great
northern powers are concerned, to
the German chancellor's recent
reichstag speech indicating that the
government was not yet ready to re-
nounce its territorial gains in
France, Belgium and Russia, while
all other matters are left in sus-
pense," Any renunciation of terri
tory, 1t is expected, would exclude
Poland, which would be made q
Gree state under the German plan,
but would remain wholly under
domination Of Germany. u. Bs#

WHEAT HARVEST
STARTED IN TEXAS
Three Days Earlier Than Last
Year - Expect a Larger
Yield From Lone Star State
Than Last Year by at Least
Ten Per Cent.
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, May 23.-An American
reaper and binder began to hum the
first notes of the worlds greatest
agricultural symphony-the harvest
of the wheat crop-in Texas yester-
day. This information reached the
grain market here yesterday in la
comic telegram from Fort Worth.
The harvest, it is said, began on a
farm of 100 acres and would yield
from to 8 bushels to the acre.
From now on the note will swell
until the crescendo of tens of thou
sands of such machines burst over
the great granaries of Kansas, thence
on through the spring wheat valleys
of the Dakotas until about the first
of September, when the last sheaf has
been cut in the far Hudson Bay coun-
try.
"The Texas harvest has started"
flashed over the wires of the brokers;
and crop students said that never
in history did such a message carry
more of hope or meaning to the
world, for this crop, according to
leading statesmen, enters into the
grand strategy of the war and into
the very existence of nations.
The word from Texas was taken as
a good omen, too, for it showed that
the harvest had been started three
days earlier than normal, and even
three days is important, it is said,
when the whole world is crying for
wheat. Another cheering note was
added to the symphony by Bernard
Snow, the crop statistician, who said
that Texas was expected to yield Is
million bushels or 10 per cent. more
than last year. For her early harvest
will bring relief to bare bins Of the
southwest. Dry weather accounts for
the early start.
Mr.. Snow said indications were
that spring wheat of the Dakotas
should begin to harvest this fall by
August I.
"The movement of the grain to
market should begin June IS and
will flow in increasing value day by
day until it reaches the maximum be-
tween the end of October and the
middle of December" said Mr.. Snow.
"This means that the new crop
laps over in point of distribution on
the old crop (that of 1916 by 80
days and supplementary to that ex-
tent any deficiency in stock held from
last year."
