largely in the outcome of the new
crop. The Oklahoma state report made
the condition of June / 70 per cent,

are Tor winter wheat crop of 625000,-
900 bushels and a spring WI eat yield
of around 300,OOO,0O0. The outlook in
Canada is also very favorable, and if
the present prospects are carried
through to harvest with no more than
the usual loss, America will have
very large exportable surplus during
the coming season, after providing lib
orally for home consumption.
Corn.-The action of the corn mar

demand, which, some local merchants
assert, is about the worst ever expe-
rienced. On the other hand, the tech

lived to be frmer, especially in July,
as a result of the heavy selling which
occurred during the last week, when

came to light that exporters have been

was estimated that sales, including a

air fight, the semi-official Havas
Agency reports. His machine fell
into the enemy lines. 1t was not in

battle in which Quentin was killed
and saw the machine fall, but did not
know until later that it was his cou-
sin, La Journal says today.
Lieutenant Roosevelt was last seen
in combat on Sunday morning with
two German airplanes about ten

FRENCH CLAIM
ATTACK WAS NO
SURPRISE TO FOCH
(By the Associated Press)


Paris, July 16.-All news from the
battlefield report that the element of
surprise was total failure Monday.
The newspapers point to the import
ance of the attack.
The French military chiefs, says
Maurice Barres in the Echo de Paris,
foresaw with wonderful approxima-
tion the date and locality of the Ger
man effort and General Foch made
all the dispositions SO that the attack
was begun under conditions favor
able to the Allies.
The Matin declares that the French
command was informed perfectly of
the German preparations and knew
on Sunday morning that the German
troops had begun to use reserve food
supplies. This enabled French ar
tillery to deliver intensive firing
against Germans with the result of
the attackers being badly battered.

WSHEK TRIAL
AT BISMARCK

Bismarck, July 16.-In the trial
of the Wishek case testimony here
today showed intense rivalry between
various Mcintosh banks. DR.. Felix
Rapport, witness for the defense,
stated that he withdrew $4,000 from
Wishek's bank on the strength of a
statement by R. P. Esswein, alleged
to be a government agent, that the
authorities were after Wishek and
the witness had better draw his
money from the bank. Land Com
missioner Prater testified that he
conducted a land sale in Mcintosh
county on February 5, 1918, during
the second Liberty loan campaign,
and that John Wishek was active
among the loan workers in Mcintosh
county, and that he, Wishek, came
to the witness and asked him to ad-
journ the land sale in order that
Wishek might speak to the farmers
on the subject Of the Liberty loan.
Prater said that Wishek did talk
on the loan, explaining it's purpose
and need, and urging the farmers to
invest, and that the witness. also
spoke along the same lines.
Several witnesses were placed on
the stand to testify as to the defend
ants activity in connection with the
second Liberty loan campaign. 1t
was testified that Wishek had adver-
tised his readiness to loan money at
six per cent, under the current rate
of interest, to prospective buyers of
bonds who were in need of money
