Interest in Report

Much interest centered in the De-
partment of Agriculture's grain re-
port today announcing the amount of
grain on farms March L. The quanti-
ty of wheat in farmers hand was ex-
pected to be much lower than in other
years, in view of the pressing demand
the Food Administration has exerted
to send that cereal to the Allies.

per cent OF the crop. s.r., "a

days Washington dispatches, is the
first important victory growers Of
the spring wheat belt have won since
the new federal standards, to which
there has been much objection, were
established. This action is a result
of the hearings held in Bismarck, Far
go and elsewhere in the wheat belt
last winter by Charles J. Brand, chief
of the division of standards.
The Bismarck meeting was partic-
ularly satisfactory in that clear un.
derstanding of the farmers objections
to the existing standards and their
reasons for these objections was
reached without there being injected
any of the animus SO apparent, at the
Fargo hearing. when radical ele.
ment predominated. Mr. Brand stated
at the close of the Bismarck hearing
that some of the concessions demand
ed unquestionably would be made.
Rye Most Important.
Probably the most important con-
cession reported from Washington is
an increase in the permissible per-
centage of rye. AS was clearly prov

acreage cropped in North Dakota last
year, and particularly because Of the
extreme dryness of the harvest sea-

C0nditions-Milling and
Baking on New Basis

Washington, d. c., March
S.-Tentative revised stan
dards for wheat under the
grain standards act were
announced today by the sec.
retary of agriculture. The
standards are less exacting
especially with reference to
moistures, mixtures Of
wheat of different classes,
inseparable foreign mate.
rial, and rye mixtures than
are the present standards.
Before final action is taken
upon the standards, five
public hearings will be held
to afford the grain trade
opportunity to discuss the
proposed standards. One of
the hearings will be in Min
neapOlis on March 21.
Change in the former
standards is largely due to
war conditions. which have
brought about fixed prices
for wheat and substantial
elimination of competition
in its marketing.
Milling and baking indus,
tries have been put upon a
new basis. Under present
abnormal conditions, mix.
lures of different classes of
wheat, admixtures of rye,
and other factors, do not
play so important a part in
the marketing of wheat as
under pre-war conditions.

DANGEROUS PLAYTHINGS.

Joseph Sikorski, six years old, is
in a dangerous condition at South
Baltimore General Hospital as a re-
suit of being shot in the left eye with
an air rifle yesterday evening.
The boy had been playing on va

cight-year-old John jacob, was acct

piercing the boys eye. Assisted by
several Of his companions, he went
home and was taken to the hospital

lose the sight OF the eye.
Some time ago boy was injured by
an air gun in Alexandria, when the
policemen were directed to notify all
dealers in such toys to cease sellin"
the same. Some dealers were resent

situation.

CONDITIONS IN PERSIA.

Hanger is causing distress in many
places in the civilized world. The
kaiser is credited with saying that he
will have things his way upon this
planet, or bring famine upon it. Such
conditions are becoming more and
more apparent as the present war con-
tinues-a war planned and precipitat

Cannibalism in Persia is one of the
horrors of famine in that country re,
ported to the State Department yes

lief Society word has been received
that food has almost disappeared. Peo-
pie have been compelled to eat grass,

FAIR PRICE LIST

The Federal authorities in Baltl-

have unnecessarily increased prices

reason.
The Food Administrators Office, IN
the Monumental City, has been gun

fair price lists by the market men,
and as a result number OF market
tradesmen will be summoned before
the administrator tomorrow or Friday
A special check of market quotations
was made last Friday and Saturday,
and a mass of information obtained
Showing variations of between III ana

Particular discrimination had been

ANXIETY IN GERMANY

Apprehension in Germany over the
fate Of the Observation-Disclosures OF
fcnsive, says Washington cotempo,
rarv. continues to show itself sharply
and clearly despite the relentless CEN
sorship suppression which has been
doubled and tripled since the military
party gained the upper hand. The luil
of the past week has evoked in the
German mind all the furtive fears that
such a huge shambles could be ex-
pectcd to evoke. IL has taken all the
palaver and the assurance OF the mill
tary experts" to keep the German
shirt from being shaken by tine, fright
f.; losses of man power and from be-
ing obsessed by the intolerable fact
of failure already at hand in what
was to be the climacteric effort OF their
military masters to force a decision
and close the war.
Germany internally is aquiver with
doubt and hunger and rebelllous re-
action at the very moment when her
military ring has reached new PIN
nacle of arrogance based on the OIL en-
sive in the West. More reserves are
being rushed to France and Flanders;
the battle is to be renewed with even
greater intensity than before; Mace
Gonia and the eastern front are being
combed for troops, and German pris-
oners have been demanded Of Russia,
so that it is quite evident that new
blow-perhaps a group of simultane-
Gus drives reaching from Ypres to Yer
dun-is being prepared.
The military ring can see nothing
but conquest and victory. 1t has
reached that paranoiac state of what
the French call the 'idee fixe," OF the
fixed idea, which is that Germany Will
and must conquer. That is about all
there is to the present state Of Ger
man psychology In the meantime, the
logic of the empty stomach is becom-
ing more and more unacceptable In
both of the central empires. If Ger

look for rapid developments from the
heart of Germany and Austria.

The loving touch Of the hand, dear,

Which you had no time nor thought

With troubles enough of your own.
For life is all too short dear,
And sorrow is all too great.

FLEET BOMBS HUNS.
Report Indicates Some of the Russian
Warships Remain Uncaptured.

Berlin, via Tendon, May S.--Rus-
sian warships have bomberded German
forces in the harbor Of Mariupol, the
war office announced tonight. The
statement follows:
ON the harbor establishments of
MariupoI we were bombarded by Rus
sian ships"
Washington, May S.-Mariupol is
Russian seaport on the north shore
of the Sea an Azov, 40 miles south
east of Gekate,niosiav. The Berlin
statement indicates that part of the
Russian Black Sea fleet is still at
large and actively opposing the Ger
man invasion along the Littoral in the
direction OF the Caucasus. The fact
that the Berlin war Office takes oc-
casion to make special announce
ment of the attack By Russian ships
may indicate that the German thus
wish to justify further aggressive
measures in Russia. One Of Germany's
boldest aims in connection with
the conquest o. Russia is to join the
Russian Black Sea feet with the Tur-
kish naval forces and attack the allied
bases in the Mediterranean.

PROBABLE PEACE KITE

Prince LlchnowSky III ms recent
revelations frankly admits that Ger
many was responsible for the starting
of the world war. He detailed at
great length the eorts of Sir Edward
Grew to prevent it, and showed how
preposterous was the theory that
England desired and provoked the war.
Herr Won Jagow, former foreign min
lister of Germany, published reply
to Prince Lichnowsky, which practical
w. confirmed all of the latter's main
assertions.
1t was the famous Captain Persius,
military editor Of the Berliner Tage-
blatt, who said: can understanding
ought to be easier now since we have
heard from two opposing sources. eN-
Foreign Minister Won Jagow and
Prince Lichnowsky, that England was
not responsible for the war. as has
been believed hitherto in wide cir
cles in Germany"
Similar comments in other German
papers provoke suspicion as to the
object OF the Government in permit
ting the publication of these confess
sions of Germany's guilt. The Balti
more Sun suggests that German cen
sorship is always efficient when It
wants to be. These editorial opinions
did not slip i'll the papers by accident.
They were allowed to appear for a
reason, whieeh we shall probably be
right in assuming was both definite
and well considered. In other words,
it is part of the German governments
rolicy at this time TO allow certain
prominent newspapers TO publish the
stpl. = that Germany was responsible
for the starting of the war. This fact
makes it not wholly unnatural to as
sumo that perhaps the publication OF
the Lichnowsky memorandum itself
was by consent of the authorities. No
explanation of the way in which il
reached the Swedish newspaper PoIiti-
ken, in which it first appeared, has
yet been made. Yet the authenticity
Of the statement has never been cues.
toned by The German authorities; i
has been admitted in fact, by the Off
eial answer made thereto in the rcchs-
tag by the German vice chancellor,
Friedrich ven Payer.
If the publication of the Lichnowsky
document and the comments thereon
have been instigated by the German
government, the natural conclusion
must be that il has been done to mod
crate the popular feeling in Germany
against England. 1t is the antidote to
the hymn Of hate. Why it should be
considered desirable to administer such
an antidote at this time is not so clear
though various reasons Of more o. less
plausi5ility suggest themselves. It
may be to prepare the German mind
for the possibility of peace without
annexation or indemnities. It may be
TO prepare the German mind Tor large
concessions in the west. complete res
toration and PREPARATION for Belgium
and occupied France, autonomy or
freedom for Alsace-Lorraine, and con-
cezsions to Italy in the Trentino.
