BERLIN, Aug. 13 (By The Asso-
ciated Press The harvest, contrary
to expectations in May and June,
threatens to be spoiled or badly dam
aged by the wretched weather which
prevailed oil summer and the lack of
labor. which with the highest wages it
is almost impossible to get. The short
age of fertilizer plays lesser part.
The German grain supply, from
which the empire must largely sub
sist, is at present of low value. 1t is
overripe from lack of workmen to har-
vest the crop and is beginning to shed
its kernels. Sugar beets suffered also
from lack of workers and it may be
necessary to plow up the crop in order
to save it. Potatoes deceived expecta-
tions, as they suffered badly from the
wet weather.
Germany's harvest prospects were
better this year. as Food Controller
Schmidt told the correspondent at
Weimar in June. a record crop was
expected, but this hope has fallen
because of the shortage of country
laborers The city idlers will not help.

GENEVA, Aug. l3 (By The Asso

activity in Europe, which began i'm
mediately after the signing of the

the success of the Americans is their

locomotives to sewing machines. and
the long credit given. The quickness
OF deliveries exceeds even that of the
Germans, who had prepared carefully
tor the after-the rush in trade,
while English and French firms. with
their slower methods, already have
been outdistanced.
An example of the prevailing meth

are sending their goods by shiploads
