German Ambassador Sees Danger to

New York. Aug. 21. Count Von
Bernstorff, German ambassador to the
I'nited Htates, arrived hore today on
the. liner Rotterdam from Holland. He
talked freely of the European war.
"From emperor to laborer," he snid,
"Germany is ready to defend itself
ngninst the Attack of Great Britain,
France and Russia. And the Germans
are confident of victory.
"The calling of the yellow men of
Japan into the conflict shows that the
allies are not confident regarding the
outcome.
"F.ngland requested Japan to nke a
hand in the affair. Reports that the
(iermnn crown prince had been wound

is suffering from a wound in the leg.

here, is putting the finishing touches
to all the hopes ever held out for a
crop. Many yards, he wrote, will be ab
solutely worthless. Of four years of
poor yields, this year he says is the
cumax.
In writing to Mr. Rose, his brothe
says he will not pick many hops and
what be does pick will be poor stuff.
He declares he never saw such a mess
as this section, which is typical of the
whole of New York state! and says it
will cost 20 cents to put the hops in
bales. Here the cost is 11 cents. Hh
declares he intends to increase his dairy
business, as in New York the hop in
dustry is a dead letter.
Regarding tho outlook for this part
of the valley, Mr. Ueorge L. Rose, whe
has a big yurd at Independence and an
other ou South Prairie, Bavs that the
crop will not go beyond 100,000 bules,
while the quality will be good. This
will have the effect of boosting the
price somewhat, but he does not think

believes that estimate is too high.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 24. Uninter
rupted Russian successes in eastern
Prussia were reported today to the war

"We hold the railroads," he stated,
"and have captured the towns of Oum-

"Tho 20th German army corps was

The war office announced that Rus

London, Aug. 24. Russian troops

today in a St. Peterblmrg dispatch re

Nearly 1,000,000 of the fear's troops,
it was said, were driving back half

It was moving on Koenigsburg. Its

Brindisi, Italy, Aug. 24. Nothing de

cerning the unconfirmed report that
Austrian ships had been sunk in anoth

All accounts, however, agreed that
the Anglo-French fleet wns busy off the
Austrina Adriatic coast, and reports
had been received from reliable sou'ees
of the bombardment of Cattnro. From
I.ovetch tho Montenegrin guns were

tlo the effect that Gallic, aeroguns had

Not much credence was given to the
rumor thnt Greek troops had been sent
to help the iscrvians against Austria.
It wns thought unlikely the Athens
government would act thus without de
claring war, and no news of such a de

Defeat Overwhelming.
Athens, Aug. 24. Nothing could
have been more complete, than tho Aus
trian defeat by the Servians on the
Drina August 20, according to met
sages received here from Nish today.
It was said about 200,000 Austrians
were engaged and that the Servians
were numerically their inferiors. Never
theless, it was declared the Austrian

The Austrians wore accused of kill
