"I 'Germany and Austria cannot control thc high seas,", he said, 'tit will be very difficult for food supplies from this country to reach them. This would not have a very serious effect I on our exports because a."very ?moR proportion is taken by these coup-; tries. Of the wheat and wheat flour exporte din 1913-about MO.OJO.bOQ bushelr-only 12,000,000 went to' Ger many and Austria. If they were to control the high seas, ii would, se riously interfere with the marketing ot the greater part of the foodstuffs we export. "If, on the other* hand, England, France and Russia control tim high seas, we should bo able to market In the near future without great ' diffi culty the great masa of our exportable i food products. Even If they cannot (control the seas, Uley are going tc take every sort of reasonable risk to get supplies and on account of their ' extensive shore lines and .large ship i ping facilities, they, would doubtless ' secure a very considerable ' part of what they need." .

ALLIES WAIT FOR HOUR TO STRIKE Fears for Brussels Have Been Entertained and Great Bat tie Imminent. (By Associated Press.) Brussells, Aug. 12.-Via Paris, R-.00 p. m.-On the report that operations on an extensive scale were imminent, a correspondent, by permission ot the war department made a trip along twenty miles of the Belgian fron-., visiting the extreme advance and talking with officers ana men. The Belgians are on the alertas Im portant bodies of German cavalry are passing through the..country above Liage, proceeding in the direction of Tongrea and St. Troud. The impression of the correspond ent ls that no.heavy fighting ia likely in Belgian Limburg, where the Ger mans have little or no infantry.

The Belgian people are anxious re garding Brussels, as the German cay airy ia carrying raids nearer and nearer to the .capital, but such con sid?r?t iona are not likely to have any effect on the decisions of the general staff. IC is certain vast preparations have been made by the allies now s pre an Out for battle and they are likely to move quickly when the hour to au Ike comes. - v Chicago Provisions.
