Pennsylvania's sweet potato crop is estimated at 111,000 bushels, a gain of 11,000 bushels over 1916 and the barley crop at 368,000"T>ushelB. The hay crop Is almost 1,000,000 tons less than last year, but 1916 was a record breaker.

Records for issuance of oleo li censes by the dairy and food division have been broken this year, 3.13 0 having been issued against 2,- 534 to the end of July last year.

Nekrosoff, Vice Premier, said to-day that the removal of Nicholas was decided on after a series of secret sessions of the Council of Ministers last month. The motives of the min isters, he said, are political and mili tary. It was decided to get Nicholas out of the way before circumstances arose making it difficult. When the former Emperor reaches his destina tion the facts will be announced. At the time of the revolution Nicho las was at the front.

THE ALLIES SMASH THE GERMAN LINE (Continued From First Pago.) dominates the city, has been stormed by the Canadians. Since the beginning of the attack on the northern end of the Franco- Belgian line, which apparently has been selected by the British and French for their principle efforts in the summer campaign, the Canadians have been making steady progress around Lens, driving slowly into the outskirts of this important and bit terly disputed mining center. The new attack, on the front immediately north of Lens, evidently Is designed to close around the city from the north. If successful, this operation may compel the Germans to evacuate the town without a direct attack on it, with the heavy sacrifices such a move probably would involve. The French attack was made near the coast, in the vicinity pf Dixmude. The official communication from Paris reports good progress west of the Dixmude road. London also an nounces gains by entente troops northwest of Bixschoote, in the sec tor north of Ypres. Active operations continue on the Alsne front. The French positions between Hurtebise and Craonne were bombarded heavily during the night but the Germans did not renew their infantry actions which have cost them such heavy losses In the last few weeks, In their vain efforts to expel the French from command ing positions. The Russo-Rumanian forces have been . compelled to yield further ground on the Southern Rumanian front. To-day's official communica tion from Petrograd reports the oc cupation by the enemy of a height west of Ocna, in Southwestern Mol davia where the Austro-German forces are endeavoring to outflank the Russo-Rumanian army to the south. : OBERLIN : : : : Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Roth and daughter Corene, of Curbansvllle, are spending several weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Miller.
