SLOPE OUTLOOK
MUCH IMPROVED

Crop prospects in the Missouri

CHANGED by the copious rains of the

had reported dry conditions. Winter
rye in the county is estimated at
about a Is, per cent stand, while
wheat, barley. flax and garden stuffs
are doing well. ST..
Stark county's rain was cold, and
mixed with soft snow, proving not
only of inesttmable value to the
fields, but in. killing the eggs of
grasstoppers, and eliminating what
has been a. pest for the past two
years. Rain in the county, accord
ing to the report. was desperately

narpors Tor protection. Herr Balm
eaIly IN the war was reputed to have
opposed unrestricted sinking of ships
ioi Ihe obvious reason that sooner or
later German ships would be seized to
replace the bottoms thus DESTROYED
Later, however, he issued emphatic de-
mas OF any such attitude. He ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased with
me progress of the Illegal sinkings bv
ehe O-boats and predicted a swift de-
1eat of the Allies because of such
methods.
l, herr balm long had had the ear of
the halser, who accepted his advice
upon all maritime matters without
question.
The. director general Of the Ham
pTlurg-American Line was born in 1857.
He was but twenty-nine years old
when ne became general passenger
agent OF the Carr Line, then the Ham
burg Americans most powerful rival.
he had grown up in the steamship
business, having entered the service Of
his father Immediately after his grad
uation from the gymnasium in Ham
burg.
His father sent him to England.
where he studied British methods Of
shipping closely, incidentally obtaining
much information that later was used
against the Allies in the war. The Bit
ter warfare between the Carr and the
amburg-American lines continued
until 1886, when the latter company
absorbed its rival. But Instead of dis
missing Ballin the Hamburg American
officials made him director general of
the combined company, a position he
retained until his death.

their bit for England in turn will de-
mand that she do her bit for them.
Germany must be punished, and
when the Teuton mind has assimilated
the needed lesson the people must be
admitted into international fraternity"
