Germany Alarmed
By Rapid Increase
OF Army Suicides
By United Press Leased Wire

BERLIN, juno 23,-Rcpublican
Germany is profoundly shocked to
learn the extent to which the sol
dicrs in her army are committing
suicide.
A Rcichstag committee which has
been investigating army conditions
has disclosed the startling fact that
during the period when 1S7 soldiers
died from natural causes, 1S5 died
from suicide, or ambiguous acci-
dent. -
During 1928, no less than 127 sol
dicrs between the ages of twenty
and twenty-five took their own lives.
Last year this number had crept up
to the grim total of 100. The vast
majority were privates.
Most of the suicides followed dis
eiplinary action for petty theft and
for being absent without leave. a
few could be attributed to love or
jealousy.
The Rcichstag committee declares
roundly that the officers maltreat'
mcnt of the men is the big basic
cause and demands, in its report,
the drastic revision of the articles
Of war governing military discipline
and definite Improvement in the liv'
ing conditions of the troops.

to start. Already the early truck
and fruit crops are rolling to the
large consuming ccnters. Within
a month the sicklcs will be singing
in the wheat and hay fields. Better
returns from last years farming
operations and fair prospects for
the new season arc reflected in the
marked increase in new automobiles
on farms and in sales of farm ma
chincry. -
Conditions as to various crops arc
summarized as follows by Mr.. Ew-
ing:
Corn-"Thc prospects for corn
crop arc not nearly so favorable as
they were Il month ago, and even
with highly favorable weather Il
short corn crop seems probable"
Winter Whcat-"A great decline
in the condition of winter wheat in
the past month is noted. In many
parts the crop is Il total failure. In
sect and other damage has been
very severe. Large acreages of Win

put into corn. A decline of 90 per
cent in the condition of winter
wheat during the month of May
can only result in an unusually short
CROP
Spring Whcat-''Spriu wheat
has not suffered so great rcverses
as winter wheat but still has shown
"A decline in condition largely owing
to the cool weather and late frosts
and freezes. Even with the iu-
creased acreage of spring wheat this
crop viii fall considerably short of
last year S crop"
Oats-"Oats has suffered a de-
cline in condition of 60 per cent
since last month. Freezes and un-
usually cold weather have rcduc-
cd the crop to well below last years
prospects on this date
Pasturc-''In tho dairy sections
in Wisconsin and Michigan, whore
ordinarily cattle arc placed on the
pasture at this season of the year,
they arc still feeding hay. Even
where ample moisture was available,
the pastures have declined because
of cold wcathcr.''

100 Pct. Pure Is
San Diego Water

san DIEGO, June 23.-One hun
dred per cent pure. That is the
claim made for the water which
San Diegans use in their homes. The
absolute freedom from bacteria is
shown by the latest tests made by
the water department in the city
laboratories, which gives the supply
a clean bill of health, so far as
bugs are concerned.
The absolute purity of the wa
ter gives San Diego an unusual dis.
tinction, as total absence of bac
terra is scarcely ever disclosed in the
tests WHICH are made from time to
time by cities all over the United
States. Ordinarily even the best
water in municipal systems is found
to have low count in harmless
bacteria.
