Suffering acutely from the worst

crop loss in the hundreds OF millions
OF dollars.
Officials and semi official sources

each additional day of the withering
heat would add thousands OF dollars

acted and the weather forecast said
the blazing. rainless spell would con-
tinue indefinitely.
A shortage OF water in some sec

and wells dried up. Rivers and
streams were low. The situation in
Western irrigation districts was acute
Barren pasture land and lack Of
water caused distress among live

serious situation. Representatives

In Nebraska alone the crop damage
was estimated officially at Sl5G 900 900.
In Missouri. the corn crop lost some
100 600 900 bushels in July, and con-
tinued to drop with each additional
day of drought. The oat yield was
estimated at only 10 per cent Of the
normal crop. the lowest yield in the

decreasing rapidly. Corn rapidly ap-
preached the condition Of no yield

night to have collapsed.
Outward evidence of the present

1t was stated, however, that publ

meeting had failed in one of its pur-
poses.
Terrorism charged.
1T is now evident that Germany is
still on the ground floor in Austrian

is enough to read her newspapers
and to consider that the terrorlstic
organization has headquarters well
established to be on German terri

Does the German government par

does it not perceive its responsibility
in the face of all Europe?
If it does not. does 1t not perceive
its lnadequacy as an international
authority. which shows 1t does not
know how to stop a movement that Is

After having obtained a real sue

its favorite game of personal intrigueS

six months and the prospects of re

its members. Hence the fight be-

the Semi-SocialiSt Herriot. Each wants
TO get the others scalp regardless of
consequences: otherwise there would
be no fun being in politics.
Macdonald May Step Out.
Ramsay Macdonald has arrived in
Canada for a rest. In London it Is
believed that his rest may be very
much prolonged: he may hand over
the premiership to somebody else in

The British have very nice way
of getting rid of their politicians who
have outlived their usefulness-honor-
ably They are kicked up to the
House of Lords and are given
baronetcy or an earldom. in accord

politicians he may come to America

Fear Reich Power in 1886.


The British government seems to
subscribe to the theory that unless
there is complete financial debacle
in Germany within a reasonably short
time. by the end of 1896 the Reich
will be as powerfully armed as any
nation in Europe-excepting France.
This is said to apply especially TO Ger
man air armament.
\
Whether the British fear Of the
nelD German air force IS genuine
or not is difficult to say. In any
case. the German air menace, real
or imaginary. IS being drHmmed
up IN the press and discussed at
lenoth IN the British Parliament
and at many public meetings.
The British public is being warned
by it's leaders that nothing but an
aggressive force can save the British
cities from destruction from the air.
There is no such thing as defense
from the land.
Lord PonSonby stated few days
ago in the House of Lords that those
giving the people a false impression
that there was some possible defense
against air bombardment were doing
great mischief. because there is
none" Lord Mottistone, another peer,
said that the only defense against
enemy aviation was to strike first.
French Offer Reported.
Under this impulse of fear, the
British are not only increasing their
air force but are also said to intend
moving their anti-air defenSes outside
the island The French government,
acting on the advice of the ministry
of war, is said to have offered the
British government the use OF certain
sites in Northern France to be used
as bases for the British aviation, in
case of need.
The British air experts are anxious
to accept this offer since the defense
of London would become easier if
British airplanes were within striking
distance of GERMANY
