Nine teen persons, including women, mer chants, a priest ana railway officials, were tried for spying on the move ments of German trooi>s. Six of them were condemned to death, but their relatives were not told the names of the victims and passed days in agonizing suspense.

PRICE OF WHEAT ABOVE $220 BY WILSON'S ORDER President Sanctions Raise in Rate in Executive Order Just Issued Washington, D. C., June 24.—Blan ket authority to increase the price of wheat at primary and other mar kets. with the approval of Food Ad ministrator Hoover, above the J2.20 a bushel minimum price guaranteed by Presidential proclamation last Feb ruary 21, is given the Food Adminis tration grain corporation in New York by an executive order of the President. The order, issued under authority of the food control law, was made public yesterday by Mr. Hoover. To carry out the purposes of the order, the corporation is authorized to increase its capital stock from 550,000.000 to $150,000,000 in shares of a par value of SIOO each. All the stock will be owned by the Govern fciA_rtRISBURG UfljlflW TELEGRAPH ment and will be purchased by the Food Administration from time to time as the necessity arises to main tain the present $2.20 price and any increascs authorized. While no explanation of the order was given either at the Food Admin istration or the White House, two considerations were believed to have influenced the President's decision to permit the grain corporation to pay higher prices for wheat. The first was the increased freight rates, which will become effective to-mor row. Growers must bear this In crease. and without an advance. In the price of wheat their profits would be materially reduced. The second was believed to be the situation resulting from the deadlock in Congress over the Senate's amend ment to the annual agricultural ap propriation bill, increasing the mini mum guaranteed price for wheat to $2.50 a bushel. The Mouse has re fused to accept the amendment and the Senate is to vote on it again this week. In some quarters it is be lieved that the President's action will be a factor in influencing the Senate to recede from the amendment. M AItVNMI.I.K IIAM) CONCERT Marynvtlle. Pa.. June 24.

UNREST GRIPS GERMAN TROOPS AND POPULACE Sullcnncss Widespread in Em pire and Signs Point to Refusal to Fight An Atlantic Port. June 24.—Ger many. war weary and ill fed, is in a state of unrest so acute that talk of revolt against the Imperial gov ernment is common among both the military and civil populations, ac cording to Americans who arrived here last night on a Norwegian liner, after long residence in Germany or adjacent neutral countries. Officers and men, the voyagers say, have told them of a sullenness which is widespread in the German army, predicting that it would reach the point where the troops . would refuse to fight. "You see that I wear the coat of the Kaiser. I only wish that you could know tbo feeling that lies be neath it. for we are not going to stand this thing forever," a German major told Miss Olga Wursberg, of Grand Rapids, according to her story on coming ashore. The con versation, she declared, took place in a hospital at Godesberg, Ger many, where the officer talked freely to her, not suspecting that she was an American. Under the same conditions, she declared, a private soldier said to her: "Some day we are all going to put down our arms. Why should we fight? Our officers now, instead of leading us. go behind us with their guns at our backs." No Talk of Victory, Only Footl Miss W'ursberg, daughter 91' Fred erick Wursberg, a wealthy Grand Tlapids merchant who was born in Germany and is a naturalized Amer ican citizen, declared that the morale throughout Germany is poor, and the people near revolt. With her family, who returned with her, she has lived six years in Ger many. She asserted that soldiers in the hospitals convalesce very slowly, so poor is the food given them. Carl E. Olivarius, a Milwaukee lawyer, returned from a trip through Norway, Sweden and Den mark, declared that food is so scarce in these countries that little can be spared Germany. Reporting con versations with travelers from the Teuton Empire, he said: "No one in Germany speaks of victory. They always talk of food. JUNE 24, 1918 The war, in the minds of the civilian population, has become secondary to t fforts to get enough to eat." la:on Rains, who has lived the last five years in Dresden, declared that Saxony is well sup plied with food, but conditions in Merlin and other large cities are "terrible." Ilerrman Bernstein, a writer, who sailed for Russia six months ago be lieving that the Bolsheviki would establish a stable government, re turned convinced, he said, that l.enine, Trotzky and their followers vero in the pay of Germany. He de clared that nine-tenths of the people desire intervention by Japan, with allied approval, to put an end to the chaotic conditions resulting from Soviet control. "The Red Guard is nothing but a band of thieves," said Mr. Bernstein. "It is not uncommon to see officers on the street relieving people of their valuables. To protest means arrest, and In Russia to-day a per son who is arrested usually is shot before he reaches a court of justice." Mr. Bernstein declared that Ker ensky has lost his popularity with the Russian people, who blame him for failure to crush the Bolshevik revolution when he had the power. Kerensk.v's whereabouts, he said, are unknown in Petrograd. Baron Sergius A. Korff, another passenger, who was removed by the Bolsheviki as Deputy Governor General of Finland, declared thai Germany would be unable to reor ganize the Russian army for use against the allies.
