London, Jan. 26.-That Kaiser viii.

another peace move, with terms more

Stephen Tsza, the Hungarian premier
I'VE are inclined to continue the
further exchange Of views regarding
peace, with the U. s. government, I"
was the way the Hungarian statesman
put it.
More than usual significance attach
ed to this intimation in view of the
fact that Count Tisza is supposed to
have been one of the premiers OF the
Central powers who recently held
conference in Berlin.
The second rumor came via Switzer-
land and Paris and was purported to
hGye been based upon private infor-
nation from Germany which stated
'fat III German kaiser planneu to be'
first promoter" of universal peace
and would propose to all parties to
meet forthwith to discuss the first

OHIO WHEAT
% PERCENT
OVER NORMAL

tBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
Columbus, July THE Ohio state
board of agriculture crop report for
June, made public today, shows that
wheat gained 21 points and the 1917
crop prospects are 1O9q6 compared to
the normal yield. This will make the
Ohio wheat crop, despite decrease of
250,0O0 acres, up to the ten-year aver
age. Corn will be $3.50 of normal,
damage being caused by wet weather,
worms and grubs. There are excel
lent prospects for a great potato
crop, now indicated to be $3.50 of nor
NAL as to conditions with an acreage
of 1850 compared to last year.
The report issued by the board for
June is the most comprehensive one
ever issued by the state dealing with
many special crops grown only in cer-
tain sections of the state. 1t shows
general improvement in all products
over the condition reported in May,
although most fruits are far below the
average as to condition and prospect
i've production.
Barley, rye and oats will produce
very near a normal crop, indications
pointing to better yield in oats than
the average for number of years.
