Won SEYDLER HAS
RESIGNED OFFICE

LONDON, June 26-Baron Won
Seydler, the Austrian premier, an.
nounced on Monday that he had de.
clined the invitation of Emperor Char
les to constitute a new cabinet, ac-
cording to Zurich dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Co.
1t is reported that Baron Hanhans,
minister of railways in the Won Seyd-
Ter cabinet will receive the appoint
ment. The Austrian parliament which
was dissolved when the economic sit
uation became critical in that country
may be convoked, it is believed, with
a restricted program for its proceed
ings.
The food conditions in Austria were
admitted to be serious during the dis
cussions at the meeting of the crown
council at which Baron Won Seydler
announced he would retire from office.
1t was stated there that Emperor
Charles was personally addressing the
German emperor on the subject.

minimum program for peace discus.

retary Won Kuehlmann in his speech
to the Reichstag, says the Koelnische
Volkszeitung. The foreign secretary,
it adds, demanded nothing that goes
beyond Germany's vital necessities or
that vitality threatens other countries

The Germania of Berlin considers
for peace discussions and says it keen

Many sentences in the Speech
Vorwaerts, might be termed longer
or shorter steps forwards on the road
to conciliation. and they came very
near the aims set up and regarded as
fair by the Social Democracy
The paper contends that recognition
Of the present territory of Germany by
her allies is a self-evident condition of
peace, while freedom of the seas and
of trade also are Of the highest i'm
portance. Germany's colonies must be
restored. =.
Vossische Zeitung says the speech
confirms the idea that for the foreign
secretary an understanding with Great
Britain is necessary and worth striv-
ing for. The Norddeutsche Allege-
meine Zeitung expects the speech will
again turn discussion abroad to the
questions dealt with, especially as to
responsibility for continuance Of the
war

SHOCKING

IN Grain LOSS
Many Bushels of Wheat

were still green, probably will suffer
the loss of many bushels Of their
grain as a result.
In company with County Agent Kline
Thursday, A. l.. Taylor of Purdue
University, wheat inspector for the
department of agriculture, and Joseph
Helms, a practical farmer, began a
tour of Wayne county to select wheat
fields where it was estimated the av-
erage yield would exceed 80 bushels
per acre. These were to be set aside
and used for seed next year. These
men learned that considerable wheat
had already been gathered and shock
ed by farmers in Wayne county, and
that much of it was still green in
spite OF Mr.. Kline's warning. The
rain of Monday night and Tuesday
morning will cause a considerable
amount of damage to this wheat, ac-
cording to Mr. Kline.
We have found that much of the
wheat gathered was entirely too
green the county agent said, "and
so percent of it has already begun to
mould. Unless this is taken care OF at
once the wheat will rot as it stands
In the shock, and many hundreds of
bushels will be lost as a result.
Every farmer who has already
shocked his wheat should at once
take the caps off of the stalks and let
the sunlight get in The shocks
should also be spread apart so that
the sun can get in and dry the stalks
and the wheat grains. If this is not
done Immediately there is a strong
probability that the farmers will lose

negligence and their failure to heed
the warming regarding the gathering
or their wheat when it was still green"

Now that the Piave line is again in
tact. the Italians have begun opera
tions on the mountain front looking to
the further improvement of the posi-
t1ons there. On the northwestern
slopes of Monte Grappa, between the
Brenta and the 'Piave, the Italians
have gained considerable ground and
taken more than 1900 prisoners.
Italian attacks on the mountain
front probably are for the purpose of
forestalling any intended enemy ef.
fort there as well as to improve Ital-
ian positions. Strong raids are being
carried out also on the Asiago plateau.
The Italian gain on Monte Crappa,
however. is most important as the
mountain is the key position to the
terrain between the Brenta and the
Piave and dominates the hills south
ward to the Venetian plain. II was
on this height that the Austrians met
with failure in their attempts ten
days ago to reach the plain, from the
north.
Add 1900 Prisoners.
In completing the recapture Of the
western bank of the Piave. the Ital.
ians added 1900 prisoners to the al
ready large numbers taken from the
enemy. While the sudden rise Of the
river distressed the Austrians who

river fell during the enemy retreat.
