SAYS AMERICAN RESERVES
 .s-. - ARRIVED TOO LATE.
President of the Prussan Upper
 House of Parliament.


 Amsterdam, July 14.-A Berlin des- patch received here contains the fol- lowing quotations from a speech de- llvered at the conclusion of a session of the Prussian upper house of parlia- ment by the president of the chamber:
 Do the entente peoples still believe in victory by arms? Now it is the American reserves which constitute the hope of France and Italy, the two victims of England's huckstering spir- it.
 But these reserves can no longer decide the war. They come too late so we earnestly hope. The enemy puts his faith in our internal disunion. which. in addition to our economic anniihilation, is the war aim of Eng land and America.
 Prince Von Buelow's saying must he made to prevail; The king first in Prussia, Prussia first in Germany, and Germany first in the world"

OFFICIAL ClTYAMD COUHTYPAPER.
Crops A Cheerful Outlook

Coincident with the news of the
hating and driving back OF the Ger
man offensive, comes the cheering
news that never was there a brighter
outlook for the crops in this country.
In every part of the country the spring
has been favorable and nature is doing
her share.
Even the cold of April, the series of
freezing nights, did no damage, for
nothing had advanced sufficiently far
to be hurt, the fruit buds being still in
the wood, and the winter grains not
having come out enough to be harmed.
OF course there has been talk of the
loss of the peach crop but that is an
annual wolf story. The agricultural
department reports do not indicate
any great seriousness with them.
This is all very cheering. There is
nothing upon which the future of
this country, in or out of the war, so
depends as the crops. Doubly true
this year when the war feature is ?
large addition to the ordinary need
Man lives on the fruits of the earth
and that means, he lives on weather
for upon weather depends natures
increase. With promises of good
crops in almost every line, plus the
increased acreage, there is promise OF
plenty for the country aid the people
of Europe depending upon this country
for the one first and greatest neces-
sity, food.
War gardens and farms, orchards
and diaries, cattle ranches and sheep
all are included in the benefits to
come from this fair spring which is
showing none of the ruthless but much
of the gentleness of nature.-Milwau-
lee News.
