tions with the United States
Austria Ambassador Not Recognized.
Count Tarnowsky has never been
formally recognized as ambassador to
the United States. He is now in Wash
ington and has been there for a month
or more, cooling his heels and waiting
for the United States to receive HIM
formally as a diplomatic envoy. In
the meantime, altho there was no Of
fetal explanation, it was intimated
that Tarnowsky was not being formal
ly accredited because America was
waiting to see whether Austria APP
proved Germany'S unlimited subma-
rinings. Count Tarnowsky succeeded
Count Dumba, whose recall was asked
by the United States because of his
propaganda activities
Frederick c. Penfield, American
ambassador to Vienna, was supposed to
have left the Austro-Hungarian cap
ital yesterday. Several days ago the
Viennese government formally an
nounced that Penfield was leaving
for a three months vacation-this be-
ing the first intimation that he was
ready to depart
Penfield's Departure Mysterious.
The American government has
maintained mysterious silence ever
since about it's ambassador or con-
corning relations with Austro-Hun-
gary.
If the Basic and Hague reports are
true, they appear to offer complete
explanation for Penfield's mysterious
departure and the reticence of Wash
ington officials to discuss it.
Bulgaria and Turkey to Follow.
London, April Passports have
been placed at the disposal of Amer
lean embassy in Vienna, according to
q dispatch to the Exchange Telegra oh
company from The Hague quoting tel
egrams received there from the Aus
TRAN capital
The dispatch says that Bulgaria and
Turkey also have decided to break
relations with the United sst1.es end
that Holland probably will look after
Austrian interests in Washington and
American interests in Vienna
No Official News of Break.

No Order to Quit U. S. Yet.
Washington, April minister
Panaretoff of Bulgaria, said today he
had received no instructions from his
government to break relations with the
United States and demand his pass
ports.
Il have no information that would
lead me to believe that Bulgaria de-
sires a break with the United States,'
he said. Il sincerely hope that Euro

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, April Wheat prices jumped
skyward today on receipt of news that the
government crop report showed the do
nestle winter crop was in a condition far
worse than even the most bullish forecasts
had implied. Before the Washington Off
cial figures were at hand the market had
dropped sharply on account of reports of
the German sea raiders, near Atlantic ports,
and because outbound merchant vessels for
Eurone had been ordered to return to
American ports. All such factors, how
ever were ignored after the government
crop estimate came. Excited trading car
ried the market to $212 for May wheat
from $2.O4A. Initial prices which were
irregular, varying from Il off to rs up,
with May at $2.O615 to S2.071a and July at
S1.75 to S1.7515, were followed by sharp
decline all around and then an early un-
paralleled general advance.
Chicago, April with but a single eX
ception the crop condition bulletined today
was the lowest ever shown in the United
States at any season of the year. The eX
traordinary backwardness indicated for
Kansas and Nebraska attracted the most
eager notice Important holders never
theless seized the opportunity to realize
and the late dealing a result failed to
maintain top level prices. although July
finished at the acme of the day, S1-SS to
$1.SS5s. The close was wild at to 13A
May at $2.12 to $2.14A and Sept. at $114A
to S1.75.
Wheat futures closed with the advance
well held. May, SIP to S212A July,
$1.SS to $1.ss5s; Sept, $174A to $175.
