Copenhagen, June 19.-Thruout Ger
many, according to all reports here, all
available grain crops are burning up,
as they did in 1915, as the result Of
an unprecedented heat wave. The pro-
longed drouth has not been broken
since early in May. Berlin on Sun
day experienced the hottest June II
on record. Tropical temperatures also
were reported everywhere west Of the
Oder river. Many horses were
Scratched from the bookings on, the

The effect Of the drouth on the grain
crops Is described by q neutral who ar
rived here as almost catastrophal.
The Sunday sermon writer in the
Berlin Kreux Zeitung, who recently in
dulged in startling blending Of re-
ligion and politics, declared on SUNDAY
that the drouth was sent as punish
ment for the sins of the people for

and asked how long It
would be before this divine chastise-
ment would bring the people to a sense
Of their iniquities.

Federal Agents Disoloss Attempt to
Evads Payment Of Exesss Profits.
Washington, June 19.-+Widespread
attempts on the part OF munitions
makers to evade the payment Of pro-
fits taxes imposed by congress last
September have been reported by In
ternal revenue agents. who have been
working quietly for the last two
manths checking up the mannfa ctur-
ere' returns.
The extent of the attempted evasion
thus far brought to the attention OF
the treasury totals more than 10000
900. or approximately 40 per cent of
the returns voluntarily made. Indica-
tions are that the figures Will go as
high as $12,000.0o0 or $13.0oo,000.
Scores of the manufacturers Of mu-
nitions are said to have attempted to
defeat the full operation Of the law by
making only partial returns OF their
profits. Some Of the largest concerns
in the industry failed to make com
plete returns Of profits, 1t Is charged.
Under the law, munition makers are
required to report to tho commissioner
Of internal revenue their profits each
year and to pay the government tax
Of 1919 per cent. Virtually all OF the
600 or 700 manufacturers made their
returns, apparently in conformance
with the law, showing profits which
netted the government approximately
$26. 6.5O0,0O In taxes.
1t was assumed. however, that the
bureau would check the returns leis-
urely as it had been checking the re-
turns upon the income tax reports.
Commissioner Osborne. however. In
stead Of waiting a year or more. set a
field force Of investigators to work al
most Immediately after the munitions
returns had been received. They were
enabled to check the figures given the
government before there had been any
radical change In conditions at the
plant.
Investigators reported profits largely
In excess Of those reported to the gov
ernment in many instances. Not all
the manufacturers made incorrect re-
turns. but the percentage OF those who
did Is said to have been remarkably
high. One Of the methods frequently
adopted to bring down the total profits
was to charge OF as expenses portions
Of the cost OF special munitions plants.
