good answer would be of tremen-
dous Importance"
The letter to Frau Perlen said it
was thought that Mr.. Asquith was
ready for an understanding if the
reichstag should demonstrate it
ruled the situation and really pos<
sessed power in Germany. This
point it was said, would be carried
If the majority of the reichstag
should succeed in bringing about
regarding Belgium.
The letter begged her to do her
utmost to induce the Teichstag to
issue a statement. Van Beck said
that the decision of DR.. George

chancellor, relative to safeguarding
boundaries had, as he conceived it,
created an unfavorable impression
abroad and declared that he want
eA.to establish whether the reich

Districts of west Texas and the

first time in three years the drouth
stricken sections of west Texas have
use for reapers.
The reapers have already started
on the southern edge of the grain
belt and will continue moving north
county by county, state by state.
until they reach Canada next fall.
Many districts never before used
for growing wheat were sown last
