German Situation Critical.

Although a very strict censorship
is maintained, it is no secret that the
situation in Germany has become crit
ical. The renewal Of the ruthless
submarine warfare, in the full knowl-
edge it would involve this nation
against her, was clearly an act of
desperation. The revolt in Russia has
accentuated the unrest in Germany

the Washington authorities seem to

matter Of having these townsite lands

LET TIE PRESIDENT DECIDE.

1t Is hard to imagine n more impu-
dent or preposterous offer than that
made by 4 so.called syndicate of New
York men to purchase Shadow Lawn"
at Long Branch, and present It to the
government as permanent summer
residence for the president. 1t should
be thrown into the waste basket I'M
opened.
II permanent summer residence for
the president is needed, Uncle sam has
a few dollars left In his strong box for
that purpose. Besides II the subject
comes up In serious form. 4 careful
survey Of the country should be made.
There Is the great broad west with its
inspiring snow capped mountains,
beautiful valleys and it's life giving air.
There are the great lakes. where many
people choose to spend the summer
months. who could live anywhere.
There are the mountains of Carolina
and east Tennessee and there is n lake
Of rare beauty near Minneapolis called
Minnetonka, which Is In the very heart
OF the United States.
OF course the purpose OF this So
called syndicate Is to either boost real
estate or to keep the administ ration
pretty close to the atmosphere of
New York. There are still some
thousands OF men who cut their hair
and women who wear their hair long
who believe that the balcful Influence

GRAIN GOSSIP

Thomson & McKinnon-Corn: While the trade generally believes that the present crop is larger than can be con- stunned and exported 1t is still a fact that the country Is not disposed to mar ket the new crop in volume. Market. therefore, lacks the balance needed of hedging load. At the moment, scat tered holdings are well liquidated and the market Is to some extent oversold. It Is possible that a congested condition may appear on any further decline from present level.
 Oats-The firmness in face of corn's action and drastic liquidation is warn ing against over-confidence in expecta- ton of immediately lower vaiues. Mar ket at the moment is somewhat oversoid. In this grain as in corn there is probably a larger crop than can be readily dis posed of.
 Cudahy of Milwaukee says: Despite the recent big break in prices. they are still too high-vith such awful prices pre- vailing 1t does not take much to go around, economies will be important there is as much meat in this country as a year ago. and more lard I expect to see 1o-cent hogs this winter; the heavy run will come after the holidays. There are lots of pigs in the country and these will be getting right for marketing.
 Corn should be sold on all rallies for a long pull; same can be said of provisions. -McKinnon.

While urging that a woman be appointed on the board. tho improvement association is willing to leave the selection of the woman to be appointed to the board of city commissioners.

Throughtout the Mississippi valley, Oklahoma and northern Alabama killing damage reported from these sections to a late crop They feel that they must be exaggerated, especially was this be- lief held by eastern and Wall street trad CTS. who have been heavily callers a.l day, so that the advance during the first hour was lost by afternoon. They feel that present prices discount any reduc- ton in crop estimates on the decline. Spinners were slow buyers The damage to the crop has taken them by surprise. and they are waiting for the market to show whether the damage Is so great as to warrant their buying on large scale. Crop estimates are being reduced.
