For this reason, France is begin.

encourage Il Franco German under

Caillaux will try to convince the
Germans it is to their interest to
help France GER back to her feet.
His originality aud daring are suf-
flcleEt for him even to advocate
the appointment of German cNecu-

Say Grain In
Russia is Scarce

Department of Agriculture off
icialS to-day confirmed press dis
patches to the effect that Russia
is suffering from Il shortage of
bread grains, and will have to i'm
port considerable quantities of wheat
Large purchases of wheat and flour
on Russian account in both England
and the United States have already
been repored.
. Most Nof the proposed imports
of from 100000 to 100000 bush
els of wheat with possible maxim
um of 100000 bushels of wheat
um of 100000 bushels, will be in
the form of flour" the department
said.
In order to purchase this wheat
and flour together with much need
ed supplies of cotton, textiles, mach
inery, rubber and other commodities,
Russia must build up a trade bal
ance by exports of other commod-
tiles. In the first six months of 1924
Soviet Russia had large favorable
balance of trade, but in this bal
ance, bread grains constituted the
largest item. 1t Seem probable
therefore that during 1925 the Sow
let government will make a great
effort to increase exports of other
products such as butter and eggs,
forest products, furs, bristles, pc
troleum products and minerals.
Weather conditions in Russia
have not been generally favorable
for winter cereals and it is probable
that winter killing will be heavy.
In the important winter areas of the
southwest, however, weather con
ditions were more favorable than
elsewhere -

WIRELESS Phone
PROVES SUCCESS
Sisters Converse on Liners
Which Are $50 Miles
Apart.

New York.-Two sisters, Mrs. Nor
ris Sempler of this city, returning from
Europe on the liner Columbus, and
Mrs. Emil Berolzheimer on the
Deutschland, talked to each other by
wireless telephone across $50 miles of
the Atlantic.
This was reported when the Column
bus locked here, bringing a recently
Invented wireless telephone device. A
conversation at sea, words going each
way, is new in the science of sound
transmission.
Chief wireless operator of the Co.
lumbus, Carl Gerstung, said in his use
of the new invention to talk to other
ships the results in most cases we're
very satisfactory. The new system is
controlled by the Telefunken company
of Germany.
The apparatus is a duplex receiving
and sending set, according to Mr.. Ger
stung. 1t operates on wave length
of 1900 or 1,4O0 meters Experiments
with the device have been under way
for more than two years.
The new system makes wireless tele-
phone conversation possible by over
coming the interference between the
receiving and sending antennae, which
heretofore has prevented the simulta-
,neous operation of the receiving and
sending apparatus.
