Receive Strict Instructions to
StifIe Word of Americas
Preparations For War.
TEUT0N EFFORT Barred
Berlin Government Attempts to Con
ceaI Fear of United States
Through Drastic Orders
To German Press.

Washington, Jan. S.-The depart.
nent Of state has been supplied with
sensational evidence Of the extent to
which the Prussian government has
subjugated the press Of Germany to
The interests Of the Kaiser and his war
party.
Copies Of secret and drastic regu-
lations issued to German editors,
which have fallen into the hands Of
the State Department, show not on
ly the German newspapers are pro-
hibited from printing news that is
bad, but are required to comment
only in terms of praise concerning
events Of military and political
nature.
eerlin's View Of U. s. Unmasked.
Interesting light Is thrown upon tho
Berlin view Of the preparations for
war in the United States by para
graph of an order dated June last.
It says:
"While the news about Americas
war preparations, such as the or.
ganization and QUILTING Of an army
one million strong to reinforce the
French-English front is looked upon,
in that form, as bluff" the spread
Ing of which may unfavorably affect
the opinion Of the German people,
yet the fact must not be overlooked,
on the other hand, that the United
States, with the support Of its ca
pacity for material and industrial
management, is arming itself for
war with great energy and tenacity.
The war preparations in America
are therefore, as was intimated in
the Reichstag, at the time, not at
all to be made little of, but must be
taken seriously without ON that
account being made a source of
worry"
Forbid News Of Y. 8. Troops.
Another dated June 9 says:
"Petit Parisien informs US that
five American divisions, numbering
$4,000 men be expected in France
in the autumn of 1917. It is urgent
ly requested not to reproduce this
information without some comment.
We do not wish to underestimate
the ability Of America to accomplish
things, but must not on the other
hand overestimate it. In order to
bring a division over from America,
$4,000 tons must make the trip
twice. Therefore, from the mere
fact of lack of space. the transpor-
tation of such a body Of troops
within certain fixed time limits is
impossible. Moreover, it is impos-
sible to train these troops properly
by autumn. These facts, which have
recently been discussed in the Ger
man war news, cannot be too
strongly emphasized in the discus
sion of the French news"

headquarters in the field, war coun-
Gil is being held. Steps are being dis
cussed that may lead to a resumption
by Russia, not of military operations
on vast scale, such as offensives of
the Brusiloff type, but of active, ener-
getic guerilla defense of the Russian
lines
In this defense Russia does not ask
Allied aid. She rejects it, even.
She proposes to throw chaos into
the teeth of any military move the
Germans may make. She will give the
Teuton commanders the thing they
fear more than organized armies-a
crippled land of endless vastness, that
has no food-no transportation, and
whose productiveness is paralyzed, a
land, peopled by human guerillas, "ev-
cry one of them armed with a rifle"
as Trotzky puts it.

AS we know for more than three years the

war therein foretold For long time order

PLANNING 1910 WHEAT CROP

The United States Department Of
Agriculture has announced COM
prehensive program, the object in
view being the increasing of the
fall to not less than 45,000,000
acres. The maxium contemplated
by the Department is 47,500,000
which will be an increase of IL per
cent over last year. This larger fig
ure can only be reached in case of
seasonable weather.
From 45.00O.00O acres, a harvest
of 636, 100000 bushels might be
expected, and from the larger
acreage mentioned 667 100000 bush
1917 bushels per acre and the alb
andoment of 10 per cent Of the total
acreage on account of winter kill.
The plan fixes definite acreage by
states, and in a campaign to be
launched Immediately, growers will
be asked to make their state quqota.
Recommendation regarding the
planting of spring wheat and other
spring crops, and regarding live
stock will follow later.
The accumulation of surplus grain
sidered imperative. While the large
crop produced this year will take
care of immediate needs, ii will pro-
vide no surplus for the future. The
fact that there is plenty of surplus
wheat in Australia, India and Ar
gentina cannot be considered, for the
reason that conditions may prevent
the transportation of this surplus
