*ondon, June 24.—The little Bel

continues to be issued in spite of all
the efforts of the German authorities
to suppress it, gives an account of
recent atrocities at Charlerol. 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.
Wives and children of men under ar
rest stood all night at the prison
gates, their feelings alternating be

With the American Army in
France, June 24.—The American
soldiers now are regarded by their
German antagonists as "bad boys"
for whom the German soldiers arp
cautioned to "look out," accord
ing to a young German deserter
who surrendered in the American
lines on the Marne last night.
This willing prisoner added that
conditions In the . German lines
constantly were growing worse,
lie had deserted because he was
war-weary and underfed, and he
declared that many of his fellows
also would desert if they had the
chance.

and who had been spared.

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.

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.
