of heroic Belgium and Serbia and

THE GERMAN CORN CROP

New York.-The yield of the Ger
man corn crop has been reduced and
is barely sufficient for the feeding OF
the population, according to state
ment made by Privy Councillor Klei-
merit of the Imperial German Bureau
before the Food Committee OF the
Reichstag, according to the Berlin
lTageblatt of June IA.
In reply to a demand by the bour-
goisie parties that the farmers be al
lotted a larger quantity of certain
kind of corn (called in German Hin
terktorn black corn), as this would
have conciliatory effect in view of
the many enforced deliveries and nu-
merous compulsatory measures, Klel-
merit said that the socalled "Hinter-
korn" could not be released in gener-
al for fodder purposes for the rea-
son that unfavorable experiences had
Decu Hdue III Ihal icoPooI ~
Notwithstanding a careful system OF
control, extraordinarily great diff
culties were encountered and these
difficulties would increase now that
"the situation as a whole is more
than in 1916 and that the total yield
of our crop has been further reduced
and barely suffices for the feeding of
the population"

Amsterdam, Aug. Turkey is
going to handle the situation in the
Caucasus according to her own ideas.
This is indicated in telegram from
Constantinople dated July 2Sthfi.
which quotes an article in the news
paper Nasiri Ekiar presenting the
Turkish viewpoint.
I'VE have nothing to say against
the principles laid down in the Brest-
Litovsk treaty. says the article,
but when the Caucasus, newly reor-
ganized turned toward us and, mas
ter of it's own destinies, refused to be
bound by the treaty, what was more
natural for us than to take into con-
sideration the necessities of this new
situation createdon our important
eastern front? Gould we close our
eyes to the appeal of the Government
of people largely of the same race
and same creed as ourselves?
I'VE are aware of the action, and
its present progress, to place under
German control Tiflis and Baku. That
is a logical consequence of the appli-
cation of the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
How could this treaty be taken into
consideration in the affairs of the
Caucasus, seeing that the Bolshevisr
Government has not even been able
to return to us, in accordance with
the treaty, our eastern frontier and
that in the Caucasus influences en-
tirely independent of the Bolshevist
Government have arisen!"
Early in July it was reported thru
Washington that Germany was be-
coming alarmed over the aggressive
territorial tendencies of her allies,
especially Turkey. Several weeks
earlier it had been reported that Ger
many had ordered Turkey to stop
her advance in the Eastern Caucas-
us.
Almost simultaneously announce
! ment came from Berlin that German
troops had been landed at Poti, on
the Black Sea coast, an important
point on the railroad running thru
ITiflis to Baku. On June 13 Turkey
signed a peace treaty with the Trans
caucassusian Government, Out the
terms have never been reported aue-
quately.
The Baku region, on the Caspian
Sea, is one of the worlds most i'm
portant oil fields. Possession of this
territory might also be a menace to-
British control In India.

FIGHTING OVER
THE SPO|LS
The Central Powers Are in a
Scuff1e Over Division
of Territory
TURKS IGNORE COMPACT

| Amsterdam, Aug. Trouble is
admittedly brewing among the Cen
tral Powers, first between Germany
and Austria over the Polish question
and also between bulgaria and Tur-
key regarding the Dobrudja Every
| possible solution of both questions
has been repeatedly discussed by the
four Governments, but no agreement
is likely to be reached.
Germany will not hear OF the Aus
triian annexation of Poland in any
form whatever, whereas Austria con-
siders the bringing of the Kingdom"
of Poland under the Hapsburg scep-
tre as vital necessity" 1t was
hoped in Germany that once Czern-
in resigned no more would be heard
of the "Austro-Polish' solution Of
the Polish question, and thus Austria
was permitted to annex important
Rumanian lands under the pretext Of
the safety of her frontiers.
1t appears from an inspired arti-
Gle by Emil Zimmerman in Tues
days Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger that Ba-
ron Burian is just as anxious as
Czernin was about the Austro-Polish
solution, over which Austria seems
likely to remain most obdurate.
No peaceful solution is in sight re-
garding the Turkish-Bulgarian DOH
rudja and Adrianople difficulties.
The feeling is rising high in both So
fla and Constantinople. The Turks
are accusing the Bulgarians as being
"the Germans of the Balkans"
while the Bulgarians are saying
equally hasty things about the
Turks
Zimmerman urges the Central
Powers not to fight among themselv-
YES during the war, for otherwise
what they have so far managed to
gain will probably be lost"

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REPORT

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REPORT
Trade, as a whole has been Of fair
volume, though industries engaged
in the production and distribution of
Military equipment take front rank.
Retarded deliveries of freight contin-
ue a deterrent feature, though some
Improvement is noted in this direc-
tion.
Wholesale trade in shoes, hats and
dry goods has been fair. Groceries
and provisions at wholesale are in
good demand.
Retail trade in practically all lines
is active, though some curtailment
has been mad necessary by lack Of
supplies and scarcity OF labor. All
classes of workers are we'll employed
and a scarcity exists in almost every
line of endeavor, with the exception
of general building which continues
at low ebb. Real estate is in little
demand Prices for all staple mer-
chandise are well maintained.
Collections are generally good and
failures at almost minimum in this
district. Money is in good demand
and sustained activity is reflected in
increa sing hank clearings
Crop Report-Crops are general
ly in good condition, though needing
rain in some localities. The corn Is
in particularly good condition. To-
bacco is late. Cotton is developing
a good growth. Vegetables are
scarce. The apple crop will be an av-
erage one.
