Without pause the British forces
battling against the Germans are
moving forward in the direction OF
Bapaume. The fighting has been ex-
tremely heavy, but there has been no
stopping Field Marshal Haig's men,
and the latest report from British
headquarters says that they are max
ing progress along the entire front Of
the British attack.
The important towns of Bray, Thiep-
val and Grandcourt, together with sew
eral smaller places have been cap
tured and more than 1000 prisoners
have been taken.
Around Miraumont, which lies
little north of Grandcourt, the fight
ing has been of great intensity, and
this place apparently has fallen, as
Haig's report says that the enemy
held out until outflanked by advanc-
ing columns"
British detachments have reached
Avesnes-Lez-Bapau which lies very
close to Bapaume, whose capture is
expected, but not without severe fight
ing.

British and German official reports
state that losses were inflicted by
their respective units. but deny suf-

In the fighting during the last three
days the British have captured 1900

SAYS STATE wheat
CROP IS failure
Production Falls Off Despite
Increased Price for the
Farmer
COSTS MORE TO
HARVEST CROP

That the wheat crop in lower Della
ware is a decided failure this year is
statement credited TO Professor Wes-
ley Webb, secretary Of the Delaware
State Board of Agriculture, inferring
that many Delaware wheat growers
viii lose money despite the high price
Of wheat, which is 50 at present, be-
cause Of the small yield and the greatly
Increased cost Of production.
While there was ten per cent. in
crease In acreage Of wheat planted last
fall, Professor Webb explained that the
acreage being harvested Is about the
same as for last year planted in the
autumn Of 1916, as many growers
abandoned the wheat crops, as much
Of II was frozen last spring.
The government estimate for the
Delaware wheat crop at the first Of
June was a 70 per cent. yield, which
is SO per cent. as much as last year.
Professor Webb, however, believes
that the government estimate is too
high. as reports received from farm
ers throughout the State indicate that
there will only be a GO per cent. yield
The estimated crop, at the 20 per
tfHh 9ltlug NVuii nave bttH dituVsobV
bushels, but at the 60 per cent yield.
which the secretary Of tho Board OF
Agriculture believes TO be the more
accurate estimate the crops would be
about one-seventh less, or approx
mately i5i9,500 bushels. Compared
with last years crop Of 2.i62OoO, and
considering the acreage planted last
autumn was 30 per cent. larger than
the acreage planted in the autumn Of
1916, lt can readily be seen that this
years wheat crop Is anything but a
bumper one.
Tha estimated acreage planted In
wheat IN Delaware Is 1000 acres, di-
vided as follows: New Castle county,
47,i60; Kent county, 60260; Sussex
county, 23,5s0. Thus IL will be seen
that Kent alone grows almost as much
wheat as the other two counties com
blned. The crop In Kent county last
year was 99,52O, and Professor Webb
estimates that this years crop will not
exceed 10000 bushels.
What the wheat grower is up against.
when his crop is poor, despite the fact
that he receives two dollars a bushel
for the grain, can be better realized
when the great increase in harvesting
is known Last year the threshers
charged four cents a bushel, and the
seasons before that II was three cents.
This year they are charging ten cents.
Last year binder twine cost "a cents
poundi this year II is 2S cents.

There are about 27,OOO separate pieces
of property, owned by more than i5'-

many were unfounded and 1t is be
ed that out of 1900, property owners
probably 100, certainly not many more

Palestine AGAIN TO
Be home OF jews
Journalist from the Far East
Tells of Hopes of
Race
ARE FIGHTING
HUN IMPERIALISM

The restoration Of Palestine TO the
Jewish race was the topic of lttamar
Ben-Avl at the Zionist mass meeting
at the Majestic Theatre last night. He
said that more than 5000 Jewish sol
diers under the blue and white flag Of
the ancient Hebrew kingdom were
lighting with their French and British
Allies for the dellverance of Palestine
from the Turks, with their German
support He asserted that the United
States Government was In sympathy
with the Zionist movement but had
not declared so officially because Of
the desire to win Turkey away from
It's Teutonic alliance.
Telling of German intrigue, the
speaker, who is an editor from Pales-
tine, explained the Berlin to Bagdad
railroad scheme, planned to aid Ger
many to achieve world dominion.
Twenty years ago, at the same time
that DR.. Theodore Hertzel, the founder
Of the political movement for the res
toratlon Of Zionism, visited the Holy
Land and received his first impression
Of the glorious possibilities Of 4 Jew
lsh State, which he later embodied in
his "Ydenshtadt." German merchants
and German money began to flow into
Palestine.
wherever a Jewish colony was es-
tablshed," he continued, there was
German competition to contend with,
until finally the German consul tried
to inaugurate the German language I'm
the schools Of Judea. This the
speaker said. "the Jews resented, and
the first battle won by the Jews
against the Germans was the victory
OF maintaining the Hebrew language
But what was the most impressive
part Of the meeting was the closing Of
the address by Ben-Avi In pure and
indluted Hebrew as spoken In Pales-
tine. The speaker said that he would
feel ashamed to address Jewish au-
dience without speaking even Tor a
minute in Hebrew.
That Delaware Jews will do their bit
for the Hebrew Legion, which has sent
thousands to lght on Palestlnian soil
is evident from the announcement
made last night by Louis Topkis,
chairman Of the meeting and president
of the Zionist organization in this city,
that a recruiting Office will be opened
for the next ninety days at Fourth and
Morris Chaikln, vlce-presldent Of the
Wilmington Zionist Society. II Is de-
sirable that only those enlist for fight
ing in Palestine under the Jewish coll
ors, who are not full fledged American
citizens. and the appeal was made par
ticularly strong to the aliens. An ap-
peal was also made for membership In
the organization.
Previous TO introducing the speaker
Louis Topkls, who had returned last
week from the Zionist convention In
Pittsburgh, read the resolutions passed
bv that body bearing on the Palestinian
policy and ontlining what the ZionistsI
will do IN Palestine. The chief features
OF the declaration are the democratic
policies which Will dominate their
plans. including government ownership
of public utilities, equal suffrage Tor
women, cooperation, etc.
