submerslhle oil Tanks for supplying
Submarines.

submarines.
The ability OF the German suhmar.
f,es to keep az sea for indefinite per.
iods when hundreds OF miles from any
German naval base has been one ol
the surprises OF the war. II is now
suggested that the Germans may have
established secret submarine bases
consisting OF submersible oil tanks at
unfreQuented points along the Nor
wegian coast and among the islands
al the west aud north OF Scotland. and
that the enormous supplies OF oil re-
quired for the operation OF these YES.
eels Is obtained from this source. This
could be accomplished by means OF a
submersible tank that had already
been invented for commercial purN
poses before the war began. This tank
Is cylindrical, is $50 II. long and 50 t.
in diameter, and has an oil capacity
OF 2.sSO tons. II Is divided into four
or more compartments which can be
used for various grades OF oil and can
be emptied separately or together.
Each end OF the tank Ia divided verti-
cally into two compartments. the up
per compartment being utilized as q
pump house and the lower as q ballast
or trimming tank. With these trim
ming tanks, which can be filled with
sea water or emptied by means Of
electric pumps. the cylinder can be
floated or submerged. or can be made
to float at an angle with the pump
house at one end above water. An
electrical oil pump forms part Of the
equipment When a submarine or
other vessel Is to replenish its bunk

electric cables to the pumps in the
valve house and pumps out the re-
quired supply OF oil. after which the
tank is sunk to the depth required for

pan 10 Mreek Train EaiIs.

Gary. Ind.-An apparent attempt to
wreck q train carrying guncotton was
revealed Sunday. when it was found
that the plates holding two rails had
been removed, a short distance from
the Aetna Powder works. The train
was due to leave the works within q
few hours and was loaded with muni-

10 the war zone.
The police did not credit reports that
the alleged attempted derailing Of
the train had any connection with the
murder of Rev. E. A. Kayser, five
days ago, but said the possibility Of
such connection would be investigat-
ed. The murder of Kayser had been

NEW VICTORY IS
 GERMAN CLAIM
SECOND SUCCESS CLAIMED FOR CROWN PRINCE IN THE
 ARGONNE.

London. = Except for sharp con f1ict in. the Argonne, where the Ger man official communication claims an attack by the crown princes army was crowned with complete success" but which the French report says was re- pulsed, there has been little beyond the usual artillery actions and the bombardment of points of concentra- tion.
 This is the second success claimed for the crown prince in the Argonne during the last few weeks. but as in the previous case there is a complete conflict of testimony between the two headquarters. The Germans stale they took nearly 5000 prisoners, while the French, although admitting that their line momentarily gave way, declare that their counter-attacks arrested the progress of the Germans and drove them back
 There is no change reported on either the eastern or Italian fronts, while reports that Turkey is seeking a separate peace; that some change in the Balkan situation is imminent and that the allies have made further progress on the Gallipoli peninsula still lack official confirmation.

WILSON PREPARING
 REPLY ID GERMANY
PRESIDENT WILL COLLABORATE WITH SECRETARY LANSING IN
 COMPLETING NOTE.
DETAILS ARE WITHHELD D
Declares There Is Little Likelihood There Will Be Further Discussions
 of Principles Involved.

Washington. With the return of President Wilson, the formation of the policy to be pursued by the United States as a consequence of Germany's last note on submarine warfare will be begun.
 The president will collaborate with Secretary Lansing in completing note to the German government that has been tentatively prepared. to be dispatched probably the end of the week
 While details as to the course which is to be followed are withheld. it is known that both the president and MT. Lansing have practically made up their minds that a definite statement of what the consequence of further violations of American rights would be should be given to the German gov ernment ill the next communication There is little likelihood that there will be any further discussion of the principles involved.
 By the recent attempt to destroy
  score of Americans, on her voyage to the United States. with no munitions or contraband, officials here feel that the position of the United States as stated in it's previous note has been materially strengthened. They de- clare it bears out the American con- tention that the character of vessel, her destination and her cargo can be safely determined only by visit and search.
 As yet, official information is lack ing to show whether the Orduna was attacked without warning and what the circumstances were of her encoun- ter with the German submarine In discussion of the case, stress is laid upon the fact that the vessel was en route to the United States and car ried no cargo of importance, making the attack on a vessel carrying Ameri- cans seemingly wholly unwarranted
 A statement of the circumstances probably will be made by American passengers aboard the Orduna to the State Department although the Ameri- can government might take cognizance of newspaper statements. thor ough investigation of the facts will be made and a request probably will be sent to the German government for it's report of the affair

BOLL WEEVIL IN
 SOUTH ARKANSAS
FARMERS ARE WARNED TO START AN EARLY CAMPAIGN BY
 c. w. WATSON
SHOULD FORGE CULTIVATION
Declares Each WeeviI 0unctures at Least Forty Rolls During His
 Lifetime.
Little Rock

lillIp llDCh.-
 The boil weeyil is now prevalent fr nearly all Of the counties in Southern Arkansas, according to the reports Of county demonstration agents received 7y C. w Watson, state agent for the United States Department of Agricul- ture. "The weeyil will cause consid. erable damage" Mr Watson urges. unless measures are taken by the farmers to prevent the rayages of the pest If the weather remains wet ald cool. there may be several more crops of weevils before the season is over. Heavy foliage and dampnoss may ae- complish the same result, even in hot weather.
 The most effective way of getting rid of the weevil is by going through an infected field and catching the in sects and destroying them. The eggs may be kept from maturing by pick ing up the infected squares as they fall to the ground, and destroying them. The weevil appears only in cer- tain areas. and does not migrate until August. The farmers should do their work during the remainder Of July be- fore the weevil begins to migrate from field to field. During July, il all the infected squares are destroyed and the weevil killed out as much as pos sible, there will be little damage. Al ter the first week in August, it is of no use to try to fight the @eevil, for the insects migrate then, and if de stroyed, another crop may come i'll from a neighbor's field.
 It is also beneficial to the crop to cultivate it well and force 1t to pro- duce more foliage on which the weeVil can feed without bothering the bolls. Intensive cultivation will also help bring the plant to maturity earlier and place it beyond the harm of the in- sect Each weevil punctures at least 40 bolls during his lifetime, and pre- vents the growth of at least one and one-half pounds of cotton

County demonstration agents are

County demonstration agents are teaching the farmers to increase greatly their yields in cotton, corn and oats, according to government figures recently received by C. W. Watson. state agent for the United States De partment of Agriculture. For the year 1914 the land under supervision of the county agents averaged 1,033,60 pounds of seed cotton per acre, while the average for the state, based on the Bureau of Crop Estimate figures. was only 59t pounds. Corn grown un- der government supervision last year averaged 28.7 bushels to the acre, as against 175 bushels for the entire state. Oats averaged 35.4 bushels on government supervised farms, while the general average was only 24 bushels.
 4 comparison of figures since 1910 shows that the land under government supervision has averaged a yield at least onethird higher than that of the entire state. as estimated by the Bu- reau of Crop Estimates. Tn 1910 gov ernment supervised. cotton averaged 915,2 pounds of seed cotton per acre, unsuperyised 525 pounds: in 1911, su- pervised 946.7. unsuperYised 558; in 1912, supervised 1.O24.3. unsupervised 570; in 1913. supervised 1.o4S6. unsu- pewised 6f5: and in 1914. I,O336 su- pervised, as against 591 pounds unsu- pervised. There were 1.oS9 supervised fields of cotton in Arkansas in 1914, l consisting of 11,01S.20 acres, and rais- ing 11.388411,52 pounds of seed cot ton. The highest cotton yields for 1914 were under the direction of L. E. Howard, supervisor of Mississippi County, of 1.459.7 pounds to an acre.
