Wholesale Destruction of Submarines

Reports have been persistent for some
time that England, by secret devices, had
accomplished the destruction Of con-
siderable portion Of Germany's submarine
craft. The British admiralty has re-
mained silent, for the most part, but this
is said to be for strategical reasons.
The startling statement is now pub
lished that Germany has lost sixty seven,
or over eighty per cent, Of her submar-
ines, since May 5, twenty-eight Of which
are believed to have been Of the newest
and latest construction.
It is claimed that this has been accom-
plished largely by the ingenious use of
wire netting, in which they became en-
meshed. Whether is is an exaggeration
or not, we cannot say, but there is, no
doubt, considerable foundation for the re-

The Use of Water Glass.

Perhaps you have already put down
your eggs for next winter, but if not a
| few figures as to the amount of water
glass needed and how big a crock is nee
essary may not be amiss.
For the average family a five gallon
jar is an excellent size. 1t will hold 1919
dozen ayerage-sized eggs. If you want
more, consult the table for the additional
capacity needed.
The best results in keeping eggs OBJ
tanned with water glassAre from a solu-
tion made up OF one part Of water glass
and nine parts of water, though eggs will
keep very well II as much as IL parts of
water are used to one of water glass.
The concentrated water glass costs at
retail about Is cents pint.
The figures in the last column of the
table are for the solution, and to get the
amount of concentrated water glass you
will need, divide those figures by 10.
The cost is about one and half cents
per dozen eggs; and water glass may be
reused If warmed and filtered through
absorbent cotton. The figures that fol-

WOULD MORTGAGE
FUTURE INCOME
OF THE FORESTS
Article by Bureau Chief Advocates Plan
to Stimulate Agricultural
Development.

The secretary of agriculture's plan {
anticipate future receipts from the ma
tional forests by securing an advane
of money from Congress for the con
suuction of roads, trails, bridges, an
other public works would stimulate agri
cultural development and would reliev
many struggling communities from thei
present burdens of taxation, says al
article contributed by the chief of th,
forest service to the department of ag
riculture year book, just issued. This
policy. says the article, would apply
exclusively in those counties where there
is a considerable area of national forest
land so located that the forest re'
sources can not now be marketed, al
though later they will yield largt
revenue. 1t would fully meet the local
difficulties arising from the fact that
the national forests are not subject to
taxation, would aid in the protection
and development OF the forest resourc.
rs, and would remove the one barrier
which in few places prevents farmers
from Immediately enjoying the bene'
fits OF the national forests.
Millions of acres of farm land are to.
day undeveloped because OF lack OF
good roads. In opening any new coun-
try road building constitutes hard
problem for the settlers. AT first, while
the settler is struggling 20 erect his
home and farm buildings and 10 clear
his land, he usually can not afford to
pay high taxes or otherwise contribute
toward the expense of road building.
The national forests comprise the re-
motest and least settled regions Of the
country. in many cases farming in
these localities IL still pioneering, un-
der as difficult conditions as have ever
existed In the United States. One of
the principal reasons for the failure
TO develop the large acres of excellent
agricultural land which lie near the for
osts is the lack Of roads.
The government is trying 20 meet
this problem in two ways. first by pub
lie improvements being made on the ma.
tional foresst. and second by the direct
contribution 20 the counties Of a share
IN the forest receipts. Up 60 date the
forest service has constructed on the
forests more than $500 miles Of roads,
q 600 miles 81 trails, nearly 600 bridges,
and 5000 miles Of telephone lines. Ev-

of the attackers reaching Constanti-
nople, therefore, have vanished and
since none OF the Balkan states are
willing to enter the Anglo French
service and since the Russian army
which should have participated from
Odessa has been destroyed in Galicia,
it is difficult to see any chances for
France and Great Britain.
SHOULD Italy send an army to the
Dardanelles, it viii find superior
Turkish army ready to receive her.
Italy, after conducting mobilization
secretly for nine months, entered the
field against Austria Hungary at the
end of May. An Italian army l,000,-
900 men strong has been attempting
for two months to sweep over the
fortified Austrian passes and to cross
the Iscnzo river, behind which the
Austro Hungarian defensive army
occupies strong positions. All the
attempts of the Italians up to the
present have been unsuccessful. The
cost of the attackers has been hum
dreds of thousands in dead and
wounded. Austria Hungary grows
stronger day by day and although its
valiant struggle is a difficult one
against Italian superiority in num-
beers. it will be able to bar the way
TO the coastland and to Trieste and
Tyrol.
Meanwhile, Italy has lost her en-
entire colony at Tripoli to the Arabs
and apparently is about to declare
war on Turkey.
"The Serbian army, after great
losses in the winter, has undertaken
no military operations, being content
to guard the frontiers OF its country
on which there no longer is an Aus
tro-Hnngarian army.
THE other Balkan states are about
to decide which side they shall take
in the war. Since Russis's forces
have been driven back and badly
beaten and a German and Austro-
Hungarian army has been arrayed
near the frontier of Roumania, Bull
garia has come to an understanding
with Turkey, and Greece remains the

THE Germans have every reason,
therefore, at the end of the first year
of the war to consider their sacri-
fees in blood and treasure have been
rewarded. We are we'll prepared for
a continuance of the war. Our ma
tion still possesses determination to
