NORTHWEST GRAIN IS

900 Bushels May Be Re-
duced by One Half

Portland, Ore, July 17.-The Pacific
northwest must have rain, and have it
at once.
Hot winds and long dry spell have
practically cut the northwest wheat
crop in half. Much Of the damage TO
the yield is beyond repair, but rain now
would prevent still further shrinkage Of
the Washington, Oregon and Idaho
wheat harvest
Earlier estimates put the wheat crop
in these three states at 65,0O0,000 to TO-
100000. Grain men today figured that
the total yield would be only 100000
or 100000
The Inland Empire--eastern Oregon
and Washington and part of Idaho--is
the hardest hit by the unusual weather.
Some districts estimate that this years
yield win be only 4 per cent Of normal.

With the British Armies in the Field.
July 1.-THE enemy's nerves are get

efferyescing in startled little attacks

Der OF enemy raids and the air literally
seething with machines. Ypres was
completely inundated by gas shells. Ev-
erywhere the boches are making desper-
ate efforts to regain mastery of the air.
Early today five balloons were unsuc.
cessfuily attacked near the British front
lines. One was set afire by the Ger
man aeroplapes which attacked if. A
German balloon "sausageD was brought
down by retaliatory attacks by the
British airmen. being shot TO pieces.
There was heavy battling in the air al
most everywhere.
South of LombartzNde early today the
enemy staged a typical attack of this
= nerve shalSeo type. German marines
furiously assaulted British outposts,
driving them back about 200 years. In
the sand dune section particularly the
Germans seem uneasy over an impend-
ing British drive to retrieve the land
the Germans recently won. The Ger
mans evidently thought the British out
post was part of general attack being
launched to regain this territory.

London, July l7.-Capture of four
German merchant ships in the North

admiralty today.
The Germans did their best to make
off and two were damaged by gunfire
from the British boats which sighted
them. The admiralty statement said:
''Our light forces on patrol duty
sighted number of German steamers.
Our signals were disregardcd and the
ships made toward the Dutch coast.
Two of the rearmost were badly dam
aged by gunfire. The other four were
intercepted and captured. Two crews es-
capped, the others were brought into the
harbor The names of the captured ships
were Pelletorm, Brietzag, Marie Horn
and Heinzblumberg. IL
This is the second instance recently
reported of German merchant vessels
being captured in the North. sea- Pre-
sumably these ships were en- route to
Scandinavia for German supplies. The
recent falling off in Scandinavian sail
ings, due to heavy losses of ships and
desire of ship owners to save their ves-
sells by keeping them in port may be
forcing Germany to take great chances
to get much needed supplies.

ships as follows:
