COPENHAGEN." (via London), June

li). Throughout Germany, according

to reports here, -all valuable grain crops are burning up as they did in

1915, in an unprecedented heat wave.

The prolonged drouth has not been broken since early, in May. Berlin . on Sunday experienced the hottest June: It on record in the seyenty years experience of the weather bureau. Tropical temperatures were also reported everywhere west of the Oaer river. News reports . of horse races and other sporting events reature "the terrible abnormal scorching heat," Many horses were scratched on the opening day of the Hamburg derby because the track, built on a marshy corner moor, was baked too hard for safety. Prospects Are Poor. The weather bureau states that the prospects for rain or lower temperatures are very slight. The effect of the drought . on grain crops around Berlin where only eight millimeters of rain have fallen since May 1, Is described by a neutral who arrived here on Friday, as almost catastrophal. The Sunday sermon writer in the Berlin Kreuzzeitung, who recently indulged in a most startling blending of religion and politics, declared on Sunday that the drought was sent as a punishment for the sin of the people for listening to the editors of irreligious newspapers and asked bow long it would be before this divine, chastisement would bring the people to a sense of their iniquities.
