Through this misunderstanding and
from the inability to comprehend the

Herr Won Papen said Chancellor Hit
ler's speech before the Reichstag next
Wednesday would show the world what
Germany thinks of the situation and
which way the German people are de-

The vice chancellor apparently refer
red to remarks by the British secretary
for war, Lord Hailsham, in the House

tude at the Disarmament Conference
might be a matter for "gravest consid-
Grafton" by the allies.
Sanctions died with the reparations
agreements at Lausanne, Won Papen
declared, referring-without naming
xord Hailsham-obviously to the war
minister's statement that restoration Of
sanctions provided for IN the Versailles
treaty might result from the German
disarmament stand.

1885 CHERRY CROP
MAY SEE INCREASE

Low cherry prices in 1892 were due
largely to low consumer purchasing
power, to very unfavorable situation
in the canning and cold pack in
dustries and to a IA percent larger
crop than in 1881 in the 10 more i'm
portant cherry producing states, ac-
cording to the 1888 outlook issued by
the State College of Washington. The
stocks Of cold pack sour cherries will
apparently be well cleaned up by the
beginning of the 1888 packing season.
If stocks of canned cherries are also
consumed, somewhat more favorable
situation may be expected
The ages of cherry trees in the u
more important states apparently in
dictate that there are enough bearing
and non-bearing trees to maintain the
upward trend in the near future, pro-
viding more trees than usual are not
eliminated
The ages of trees in the Pacific
states and in Idaho and Utah, where
sweet cherries predominant, seem to
forecast q continuation of the in
crease in sweet cherry production dur
ing the next few years. In Washing
