LITTLE FOOD IN CANAL ZONE

r Panama, July 9.-An investig gation ordered by Lieut.. Col. Chester Hard ing, U. s. A, acting governor of the formation that no more than thirty days supplies of foodstuffs are avail able in the Republic of Panama and the canal zone. The results of the investigator have been compiled into a lengthy tabuIa,ted report which has been sent to the war department at Washington.
 Most of the available supplies are stored in the two cities of Panama and Colon. The stores available in the provincial districts are estimated sufficient for the interior population for perhaps six months. This is due to the fact that the merchants in the interior order larger quantities of staples than do : the city merchants because of the lack of transportation. The report also brought out the in formation that there are probably 100000 head of cattle within the borders of the country but that they would not be immediately available owing to the difficulties of transpor- tation to the canal cities.
 The investi gation was made with the view of ascertaining just how long the available food supplies would last in case of trouble between the United States and some forei gn power which might be able to pre- vent the importation of food stuffs nto the Panama republic and thus the Canal Zone

GEN. DE WET

Gen. Christian Rudolf De Wet, the former Boer military leader who was recently convicted of treason and sen tenced to stx years in prison, was Sborn in the Snnithfeld District South Africa, and is 50 years old. He was the son of a. prominent Boer, Jacobus De Wet of De Wetsdorp. He gained his first military experience in the first Boer war in 1881, when he serv- ed brilliantly. He then entered poli- tics and in 1885 was elected to the Transyaal volksraad, and afterward of the Orange Free State Volksraa.d. in which he was a leader for a dozen years During the war with with England he was the general and com mander-in-ehfef of the Orange Free State forces, and was one of the Boer Heroes of that sanguinary struggle. When the issue was decided against the Boers, Gen. De Wet accepted it phi1osop hically, and, to all appear ances was entirely reconci1ed to the new regime. In 1907 he became Minister for Agriculture of the Orange River Colony. and a leader in politics in that section of South Africa. When the European war broke out there was at first no suspicion of De Vets loyalty to the Union government. headed by his former comrade in arms, Gen. Botha It was reported that De Wet proposed to organize a contingent of BoeTs for. service in France. Last October, however, the old warrior headed the standard of re- volt, but he attracted few followers, and he was soon captured by motor car brigade. Gen. Botha magnini- mously ordered that De Wet and his fellow insurgents must not be treated with severity. De Wet was tried for treason last month. found guilty on eight counts. and sentenced to six years in prison and to pay fine of $1O,O00. Gen. De Wet pleaded not guilty to the charge of high treason. but guilty to a charge of sedition.

Sir Percy Scott Predicted Supremacy
 of the Submarine

Admiral Sir Percy Scott, the distin-i guished British naval officer who is known in history as ''the man who saved Ladysnitln.'' was born 62 years ago tomorrow. He entered the navy nearly half Q century ago, and serv- ed in the Ashanti war, the Congo ex- petition. the Egyptian war, the Boxer uprising iM China. and in South Afri- cas where his brilliant exploits made him a national hero. During his na- val career he invented the night sig naliing apparatus and many appli- ances which have greatly improved the gunnery of the British tars. In 1907 he figured in a sensational quar- rel with Lord Charles Beresford, and in 1913 he retired from active ser vice More than a year ago, be- fore the beginning of the war. Admir- al Scott declared that the days of the dreadnougf1t are numbered and the end of naval warfare is at hand z Sir Percy asserted that the submarine will soon do away with the utility of ships that float on top Of the water On that occasion he said:
 What we require is an enormous feet of submarines, airships and aeroplanes and a few fast cruisers provided we can find g, place to keep them in safety during war time. If we go to war with a country that is W1Inln SIr1k1nS d1Stance or Subm ar ines, T am Of the opinion that that country will at once lock up its dread noughts in some safe harbor We shall do the same. Their aeroplanes and airships will fly over our coun- try. They will know exactly where our ships are, and their submarines will come over and destroy anything and everything they can get at I do not think the importance of sub marines has been fully recognized, neither do think that it has been fully recognized how completely their advent has revolutionized naval war fare In my opinion, as the motor vehicle has driven the horse from the road so has the submarine driven the batt1eship from the sea I can see no use for battleships. and very little chance for their employment of fast cruisers The navy will be en- tire1y changed. Naval officers will no longer live on the sea, but either above it or under it, and the strain on tn heir 1 system and nerves, will be so great that very lengthy period of service will not be advisable It will be a
 navy of youth, for we shall require nothing but boldness and daring" It was due to the foresight of Sir Percy Scott that there were available 1 at Ladysnith the naval guns which in
 the opinion of many experts, saved the situation and kept South Africa in l the empire.

A Dogs Fidelity

A touching story of a dogs fidelity
comes to us from the First district.
The late Abram L. English had a fav
orite collie, Jack. on his beautiful
country place, Ford's Point, now own
ed by Mr.. Stanley Frazer. Jack was
Mr.. English's inseparable companion
during his visits to his country place.
Something more than two years ago
Mr.. English died. Since that time
Jack has piteously sought some in
formation as to his late beloved mas
ter. If he We're admitted to the man.
sion house, he would explore it from
end to end, whining pathetically all
the While. If any stranger came on
the place Jack would run up to him
with questioning, piteous whine that
amounted virtually to an inquiry as to
whether this new face could tell him
of his master. And all through the
intervening years since Mr.. English's
death the dog has kept this up CON
tinually. Mr.. Frazer, the new owner
of Ford's Point, found it annoying
and asked Mrs. English what DISPOSE
tion he should make of Jack. Mrs.
English asked that he be found a
home and as consequence the faith
full collie is now at the home of DR..
Crawford, in Cecilton. DR.. Craw-
ford hoping that entirely new sur
roundings, supplemented by careful
handling, will obliterate the poor fell

Address To Cecil Teachers

Miss Sara l.. Patrick of Teachers
College, Columbia University, ad-
dressed the teachers of the Jacob
Tome Institute and about 35 of the
teachers of Cecil county on the sub
ject of Industrial Arts and their cor
relation with other school work.
DR.. Baker, head master of the
Tome Schol, was present at the open
ing of the session and welcomed the
visiting teachers, and expressed it as
the desire of his schools to cooperate
with the schools of the county in every
way and to render them every possible
service.
Miss Ptarick impressed the teachers
that it was not necessary to change
the Course of Study but that in teach
ing reading, writing and arithmetic,
the subject matter should be taken
from our industrial subjects and our
Industrial life and thus while pupils
are acquiring the tools of education
they are, at the same time, becoming
acquainted with the life about them.
A luncheon was served to the school
and the guests and after the afternoon
session quite social gathering was
held at the Junior School.

Advice As To Spraying

Mr.. G. f. Marsh County Agent,
informs US that he has arranged for
four spraying demonstrations, two
with peaches and two with apples, in
cooperation with the Maryland Agri-
cultural College.
The peach demonstrations will be
held in the orchards of Mr.. NJ. H..
Paul, Elkton, and Mr.. Frank B. Evans,
Elkton. The apple demonstrations
Will be held in the orchards of Haines
& Wilson, Barksdale, and Mr.. Reuben
Reynolds, Fair Hill.
As there are only a few days in
which to do this work it is probable
that very little notice can be given. We
would advise all who purpose attend
ing to keep in close communication
with these men by telephone.
The peach orchards will be sprayed
Just as the shuck is about half way off
the little peach, and the apple just
after the blossoms have fallen.
The time for the most important
spraying of fruit trees is fast ap-
preaching, and as the period in which
this spray can be successfully applied
is very short, We would earnestly
urge all fruit growers to see that their
spray pumps are in order and that
they. have the necessary material on
hand.
Mr.. G. F. Marsh, County Agricultu-
raj Agent, informs US that for the
Codd.ing Moth and fungus diseases,
the apple trees should be sprayed as
soon as the blossoms have fallen or at
the latest within five days of that
time, with one gallon of concentrated
lime sulphur mixed with forty gallons
of water to which is added two pounds
of lead arsenate paste.
Peach trees should be SPRAYED lust
as soon as the shuck is about half way
off the little peach, with the self-boil-
ed lime sulphur and arsenate of lead.
It is made by putting eight pounds
of stone lime in pail to which water
is added, then put in eight pounds of
ulphur and allow it to cook for about
.wenty minutes. then add sufficient
water 10 make fifty gallons and add
Two pounds Of arsenate of lead paste.
One poun Of the powdered arsenate
of lead Is equal to two of the paste
arsenate of lead
Treatment for peaches will apply
to plums, treatment for apples will
apply to pears.

Maryland Agricultural College, Col
'ege fark, for Bulletin No. 164.
