In the most disorderiy and oon-

night took another step in the

were adopted, one requiring whole

VIRGINIA'S WHEAT PROSPECTS

While Virginia is not raising one.
tenth the amount of wheat she should
produce it is interesting to note that
much progress has been made in re-
cent years.
The forecast for Virginia for win.
ter wheat is 16.3O0,OOO bushels, which
is $4,000 bushels in excess of the 1916
crop. Our 1915 crop broke all records
with 16,974.000 bushels, while the
1910-14 average was 9.S15,O0O bush
els.
While the country at large is Tar
below normal in production, Virginia
is we'll above its average. We trust
to see the state take its place in the
hundred million bushel class some
day. We can do it, by increasing our
acreage and our per acre yield: And
wheat promises to continue to be real
wheat for a long time to come-as
good as money at the bank.

GERMAN IDEA OF REPRISALS
Baltimore SUM

According to an official statement
issued in Berlin yesterday, in repris2l
for the placing Of German general
and fifteen staff officers on French
hospital ships in the Mediterranean
the German authorities have placed
three times that number OF French
officers at points especially subject
to aerial attack.
The statement is interesting in con-
nection with the report that it has
been decided to send German prison
ers from England and France to this
country. These prisoners must travel
on ships which pass through the bar
red zone, Probably the Germans VIII
not hesitate to send their own men
to the bottom, if they get the chance.
Probably also, in what they will call
reprisal. they will drown an equal or
larger number of prisoners held by
them.
1t is one Of the unfortunate fca-
lures of the war that the Allies can
not meet German barbarism with bar
barism. But that fact should make
them all the more determined upon a
complete reckoning when the day of
reckoning comes.

GOD AND THE KAISER.

From present conditions on the
western battle front, it seems that
the partnership between God and
the Kaiser has been dissolved by the
withdrawal Of the senior member.
"Wc are sure to win, because God
is with u.s." was the battle cry OF
the Germans during the first few
months of the war But the disaster
to Teuton arms on the Marine indi-
Gated, as Elijah told the priests OF
Baal, that their divinity was asleep.
During the month since the allied
offensive began on the western front
thew have taken twice the number of
prisoners, four times the amount Of
ground and five times the number
Of guns taken in the Sonme offensive.
The British and French between
them have captured some $4,000
prisoners and $50 guns. The Arras
offensive is much bigger than the
Somme, and the next offensive allies
will be bigger than Arras.
Regarding the German casualties,
it. is impossible, Of course, to give
figures, but there is no disputing, the
fact that they have been terrible and
are comparably larger than that of
the allies.

DISAPPOINTED GERMANY

Among the many German plans
destined to miscarry as the halluclna-
ton that the two million or more Ger
mans and citizens of Teutonic descent
in the United States would rise as
one man for the Fatherland should
there be any likelihood of the United
States having the .temerity to assert
it's sovereignty and not recognize
iGermany's assumption that she could
bar the seas to all shipping, neutral
as well as hostile. The fact that the
great mass of German-Americans,
while sympathizing with the mother
country so long as the United States
remained neutral, hoisted American
flags when war was declared by this
nation against the naughty Teutons,
was a sad disappointment to the Hob
enzollerns and their war lords. Ger
many is now repudiating her own
offsprings because they dare to stand
by their adopted country, to which
they have sworn allegiance and i'll
which they enjoy all the privileges as
those native and to the manner born.
Bitter condemnation of German.
Americans is the feature of an arti-
Gle in the Kreuz Zeitung, Referring
to the loyal resolutions passed at
meetings cf German-Americans, the
paper says:
Observation-Disclosures could not be-
tray their old mother country more
shamefully, seeing that nobody will
assert that the existence of the
United States is endangered
by Germany. The more pitt
ful is the cowardly zeal with
which the 100000 German-Amer;-
cans in their national associations
disown their race in time of distress.
THE term Observation-Disclosures is
hereby forever dishonored. Nothing
any longer binds us to these German
Americans. We only cherish one
wish, that, as speedily as possible.
they erase the word German from the
name of their organization, its use
being as insulting to the German
ropn1a sS RI themselves ,;
