! t PAGE EIGHT RUROPE FORCED 10 BUY WHEAT Predict That Foreign Buyers Will Hold Market at High Level ARGENTIA NEEDS HER CROP Cancel French Contracts to Pro- vide for Home Consump- tion Minneapolis, Minn., July 2! hood that European government will become important buyers in the Amer- ican wheat market, maintaining mar- ket quotations at a high level, was forecast in telegraphic advices re- ceived by grain firms in the Twin Cities to the effect that the Argentine government, although having produced an abundant crop, is looking to the cancellation of contracts with Europe in order to retain suflicient supplies ot wheat for home consumption. Situation Predicted by Barnes Developments in the world wheat situation, which indicate that Europe must turn to America for wheat sup- plies, are strinkingly similar,) grain men say, to events predicted by Jiilius H. Barnes, wheat director of the United States, who warned that the wheat markets of America must proceed cautiously, in view of the evér present concentrated buying power of European governments. Advices from Buenos Aires received yesterday say that the French gov ernment has yielded to the Argentine government- in the cancellation of contracts for a total of 280,000 tons of wheat sold to France by Argentine exporters. How heavily Europe will have to draw on the United States for wheat will depend on the developments of this season’s crop throughout the world. Crop conditions in wheat, according to the June bulletin of the agricultural and commercial statistics just pub- lished by the International Institute of Agriculture, are favorable in Germany, Bulgaria, France, England, Wales, Ireland, Luxemburg, Sweden, Egypt and average in Scotland, Italy, Po- land, Switzerland and Czecho-Slova- kia. Injury his occurred in Hungary, because of the great heat in May, the report states. U. S. Crop’to Be Large The official report of crop estimates from the State of Kansas placing the production at 147,000,000 bushels, was taken as an indication that the winter wheat production in the United States will be fully 818,000,000 bushels, fore- cast in the last government report. Crop conditions are such, however, that the grain trade generally accepts the figure of 800,000,000 bushels as the probable wheat production in the United States this year. Needs for home consumption are roughly placed at 550,000,000, the balance being the exportable surplus for this year’s crop.

BISMARCK DA TRIBUNE “JAP HIGH HAND. ~ IN MANGHURIA| They Are No Longer Restrained by Allies, Says Chinese Newspaper. CALLS IT “REIGN OF TERROR” Semenoff Troops Assisting the Jap- anese Terrorize Inhabitants of Khailar—Seem Bent on Brew- ing Trouble, Says Paper. Poking, China.—Reports reaching here Indicate that the Japanese arey carrying things with a high hand in Manchuria now that the other troops of the allies are virtually out of the country. The Peking and Tientsin Ties has received from its corre- spondents reports which it presents under the heading “Reign of Terror in Manchuria.” It says that at Imanpo two Russian workmen, who made some disparaging remarks about the Jap- anese emperor tn talking to a Jap- anese soldier in the Russian railway hospital, were seized by Japanese sol- diers and “summarily shot on the spot.” At Harbin, the newspaper says, Jap anese sentries stationed on a bridge threw one. Russian off the bridge, breaking his cotlar bone, and stabbed another In the face a bayonet when the Russians insisted upon crossing the bridge, The Japanese.are reported by the newspaper to have taken full posses- sion of Khailar and arrested there 11 Russian. workers and handed them over to the representative of General Semenoff and the Times adds that by this time “no doubt they have been shot by Baron Unger Steinberg.” Local Popylation Terrorized. The Japanese are declared to have brought ‘to Khailar and armed 500 Semenoff troops, who are reported to be actively assisting the Japanese and helping to terrorize the local popu lation. The Times predicts that sim: Nar incidents are likely to increase as the Japanese hoid 6n. the Russian far east becomes more intense, and states that the Japanese garrison at Harbin is to be increased by 1,000 more men. This re-enforcement fs declared by the: paper to be absolutely unnecessary “as the Chinese troops stationed there are sufficient to maintain order.” The situation along the, Chinese Eastern railway was, characterized by the Times correspondent as very crit- ical, He stated: that the Japanese military authorities, had decided to place their,,own guards. and, sentries along the whole stretch of the railway, which crosses Upper, Manchuria, be- cause they were ,nbayt to send troop trains and willtary supplies along that railway and were afraid the Russian railway workers, who were opposed to Japanese intervention, might try to stop the Japanese from carrying out their plans. ‘ “The Japanese seem bent upon brew- ing. trouble among the. Russian popu- lation residing inside the railway area by giving them a series of principles so as to bring about open strife which will give them an excuse to take de- termined action even to the seizing and working of the Chinese Eastern,” wrote the correspondent. The correspondent admitted that the Japanese had the right to-send troops over the railway to protect the fron- tiers against invasion, but that this did not confer the right to occupy set- flements along the line, or interfere with the rights of local populations. He declared that the purpose of the Japanese to seize control of the rail- way. called for an immediate protest on the part of the allies, Forced to Work at Bayonet Point, In Nikolsk, he reported, the rail- way workers having gone on strike, Japanese soldiers were rounding them up an forcing them at the point of the bayonet to do the work of labor- ers, Since the - foregoing situation was described, informatign has been made public in Moscow that Chinese and Russlan military commissioners in conference at Verkhne-Udinsk, Trans- Baikalia, have reached an agreement under which “inherent rights of the Russian soviet government in the Eastern Manchurian railway were rec- ognized and the Chinese guaranteed “to withdraw their troops’from along thé\xailway lines.” It was pointed out that Rin agreement that the Rus- slans sMould retain possession of its road deprived the Japanese of one of their best excuses for keeping troops on it. ~ New Experien lor Somebody.

John Lind From Copenhagen, New York.—The ordinary humdrum ending of the voyage from Cypenha- ; gen of the American freighter Gov. John Lind was marked by two hap- penings not ordinarily recorded in the} log. The first was the discovery by the ship’s officers that reporters with- out their knowledge had invaded the stokehold intent on finding out wheth- er a very distinguished group of Rus- sian oilers, stokers, @ bos’n and a mess boy, a dozen in all, were really the late czar of Russia and a number of the members of his former suite. This excitement had just been qui- eted and the reporters expelled when there came the customs man, who had heard the story of the escaped Rus- sian ruler and were following a rumor that jewels worth anywhere from $200,000 to $1,000,000, or perhaps It was not dollars but rubles, were con- cealed on board. They were allowed to Investigate and they went’ away without telling the result of the search. Knew the Sea. The Russians were the subject of conversation among the American members of the crew all the way across the Atlantic. They were good natured and answered amiably when the oth- ers addressed them as “Count,” “Duke,” “Prince” or even “Your High- ness.” One thing the American mem- bers of the crew found out was that the Russians knew the sea, They said they intended to follow {t perma- nently. When the members of the crew asked Sergius Tchisterkoff if he was a prince they reported that he answered with due solemnity that he was. Sure, the mess boy also said he was a duke. The Lind berthed alongside a plier at the foot of West 131st street. When reporters got on board some of the crew pointed out a grimy figure who looked like the late head of the Ro- manoff family. “There is the czar,” said one of the crew with due impressiveness, “Are you a member of the Roman- off family?” asked the reporter. The distinguished oiler in soiled den- {ms stroked his beard with a work- hardened hand. “I really wish you would not ask me that,” he said in a quiet voice. “Say, czar,” said the news reporter, as he pointed toward an imposing: locking member of the engine room force, “is that a prince?” The refined. member of the crew stopped stroking his beard and looked in the direction indicated by an out: stretched arm. “Really,” he said, “} think he Is.” Asked About Jewels. “Did you bring over any family Jewels?” came the next question, The round-eyed audience from the stoke hold moved involuntatily for. ward. “A few,” said the bearded oiler. “They are worth considerable mon- ey?” suggestéd the questioner, “I don’t .know”’—at this point the pier superintendent ordered the visit: ors off the ship. With a wave of his hand the distinguished oiler departed to his Job below decks, One of the Russians, Wasibz Pere- pelkin, served as an officer on the journey from Denmark. The others are listed on the ship register as John Tilita, boatswain; George Schachoy- koy, twenty-four years old; Wladimir Kvjatkowsky, twenty-two years old; John Swaigenivor, twenty-two years old; Paul Lialko, twenty-eight years old; Boris Labensky, twenty-five yeai's old; John Stuchbury, No. 1,..twenty- one years old; John Stuchbury, sixty- five years old; Alex Strackoff, oiler, twenty-one years old; Paul Tschizoff, twenty-two years old; Nick Wreden, eighteen years old, mess boy.
