Bee Business Had

Utah bee-keepers have just COM
pleted gathering the 1914 honey crop.
According to the Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the yield per
colony of bees was SO pounds. In
1913 the production per hive was 40
pounds.
The decrease is said to be due to
the shortage of the wild flower crop
this season.
The latest census figures of tn,
bee and honey industry of this state

1888 farms In Utah that kept beest
and the total number of colonies was

WASHINGTON, August 13.-Foilow-

day that six American ships, with
carrying capacity OF 5000, will be
assembled at Newport News at an early
date and sent to bring back Americans

MUCH WORK NECESSARY
TO Make THEM SUITABLE
In announcing the sending OF these
steamers. the War Department issued
the following statement:
To make useful these boats for this
work, their present accommodations
must be greatly enlarged. lighting and
sanitary systems must be extended
sleeping accommodations must be In
stalled and bedding and other supplies
and necessities provided.
while the boats are procc ceding from
Galveston to Newport News, all these
necessities, ms well as coal. food. etc.
will be assembled there, and Just as
soon as tho necessary work can be done
on tho boats they Will be dispatched.
1t is hoped that II VIII only take a
few days at Newport News To complete
the equipment. The ports for which
they Will sail have not as yet been set
tied. They will be determined by the
conditions found TO exist at the time.
I'VE have, az already announced. au-
thoriZed our diplomatic representatives
In Europe TO charter neutral ships to
bring back Americans wherever this Is
possible, and TO utilize all available Q
space on all commercial lines that are
still operating.
TO such facilities Will now be added
the accommodat ations furnished by the
above named Transports After they
have had their accommodations en-
larEed. as above stated, these six ships
will accommodate 5000 passengers
ONLY SIN LINERS UNDER
THE AMERICAN FLAG
1T must constantly he remembered
that We havo very mcaEre source

ships There are only six transatlantic
liners under the American flag. They
are, OF course, continuing their SER
vice. The only other boats flying the
American flag that are suitable TO
cross the Atlantic are the coastwise
vessels. These are constructed as
freight carriers, and passenger carry
ing Is mere incident to their bust
ness. Their nominal passenger carry
ing capacity Is very small, and II Is
only by practically rcconstructing the

can be made To serve at All. This. OF

III this clash the Belgian left wing
gained decisive advantage over tho
Germans. whose forces numbered moro
than 10000. composed OF cavalry. ar
tillery and n small supporting force
of infantry. The Belgian forces con-
sisted of one cavalry division and a
mixed brigade. having several randi
fire guns. Their total fighting strength
was about 1000. The apparent aim OF
the Germans was to hurl themselves
through the North Trond Road at
Tirlemont, in order 10 turn the Bel
gian army.
Early "Wednesday the Germans drew
up their forces between Hasselt and
Trond. and thence proceeded In the
direction of Diest. chiefly by way of
Stevoort and Herck Laville. The Ger
man wings, however, came up from
different directions. Across the front
from Trond to TIcrck Laville their
left wing guarded the road from
'rrond TO Tirlemont on the one hand
and the heights OF Orsma'el and Gus
