Germany and Belgium.

There Is no reasow TO question the au'
tbentieity of the documents made pub
lie in the German national assembly by
Premier Bauer and the foreign minister,
DR.. Mueller, and they appear TO put the
blame for the failure OF the peace ne
gotiations of 1917 squarely upon Chan.
eelor Mchaelis and the German general
staff. An effort, it is true, has been made
to absolye Michaelis on the ground that
while refusing to make an answer TO the
British telegram through the Vatican for
fear that the pacifst Erzerger would get
hold of it, Michaelis opened independent
peace negotiations by way of Madrid.
But this seems matter Of indifference
in view of the German demands in re-
gard TO Belgium which the documents
submitted to the national assembly dis

responsibility for the decision ultimately
rested with the emperor, but this does
not absolye the ministers and generals
who gave bad advice The advice of Lu-
dendorff in 1917 in regard to Liege was
1--WE must keep the district firm in
our hands. Possession Of the Meuse line
only is insufficient. We must drive the
British and French armies still further
back. 1t is only thus that Belgium can
become economically and intimately con-
nected with us, and this could not be
effected without strong military pres

What Germany meant by intimate eco.
homie relations with Belgium is further
outlined by the revelations made by the
views of the military authorities in 1917
They contemplated the inclusion OF Bel
GUM within the German customs union
German control of Belgian taxation and
Belgian railways, the adoption by Bel
GUM of the German monetary system
etc. Not shred of Belgian independence
would have been left. Whether the Ger.
mans choose TO blame William II or Lu-

they do not have 10 look outside their

The total acreage under cultivation

! but for the limitation occasioned by
almost continuous rains, very unusual
in June. While various reasons are
ascribed for the reduction, the greatest
cause was the enormous acreage, dou-
BILE in area, planted to winter wheat
last fall
Many cotton growers early last
spring Threatened to turn their atten-
ton to a large extent to other crops
than cotton, unless they were assured
of what they considered fair price
for their cotton
In this connection, Mr.. Gray points
out that while the estimated decrease
in Texas was 10 per cent, the federal
bureau of crop estimates reported last
month that the total cotton acreage
was s3,960,oo0, compared with 81
100000 planted last year, or reduc-
ton for all cotton states of 81 per
cent. 1t was on this estimate that a
total crop of 10,9s6,000 bales was
| forecast.
