Chinese Foresee More
Trouble with Japan
Say Japanese Troops Are Be-
ing Increased Daily
in Shantung

Washington. June 19.-The Eastern
Times" a Chinese newspaper at Shang-
hal, foresees trouble between China and
Japan, owing 70 the increasing numbers
OF soldiers being sent to Shantung
Province by Japan. 1t says:
Since the capture Of Tsingtau the
number of japanese troops in Shan
tung has been increasing almost daily.
With the increase of their troops the
influence of the Japanese has increased
espondingly. Consequently the
volume of diplomatic questions be-
tween China and Japan is likewise in
creased. While the prohibition of the
collection of brass cash. the murder of
a Chinese policeman and numerous 9TH
er cases remain outstanding, the Jap
anese have again caused trouble in
Chowtsun by protecting deserters from
the Chinese army. They have gone
further by sending troops 10 Chowtsun.
at will be seen that conditions in
Shantung are different to-day from
those of the past. Why did not the
government pay its attention to Shan
tung? We are afraid that the insignif-
cant trouble in Shantung will become
serious. Diplomatic questions will, in
due course. become the basis OF terrible
problems for this country"

Drouth Destroying
German Grain Crops
Weather Bureau Says Pros
poets for Rain or Lower
Temperature Are Slight

Copenhagen, June 19.-Throughout
Germany, according 10 reports here, all
valuable grain crops are burning up
as they did in 1915, in an unprecedent-
ed heat wave. A prolonged drouth has
not been broken since early in May.
Berlin on Sunday experienced the hot
test June II on record in the seventy
years experience Of the Weather Blu
reau.
Tropical temperatures also were re-
ported everywhere west of the Oder
River. News reports Of horse races
and other sporting events feature 1.-THE
terrific, abnormal, scorching' heat.
Many horses were scratched on the
opening day of the Hamburg Derby
week because the track, built on a
marshy moor, was baked too hard for
safety.
The Weather Bureau states that the
prospects for rain or lower tempera-
lures are slight. The effect OF the
drouth on grain crops around Berlin,
where only eight millimetres OF rain
has fallen since May !, is described by
neutral who arrived here on Friday
as almost catastrophe.
The Sunday sermon writer in the
Berlin Kreuzzeitung," who recently
INDUCED in a 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
listening TO the editors OF irreligious
newspapers, and asked how long II
would before this Divine chastisement
would bring the people to sense OF
their iniQuities.
