Notes From

Berlin, Aug. 21, (by wireless to Say

Discussing the control and distribu-
ton of food supplies and other
measures taken to feed the German
people during the coming year, gov
ernment official stated that the new
harvest year began with a surplus OF
100000 tons of wheat and corn. The
yield OF rye this year is little below
the average. The wheat crop is above
the average. The crop of potatoes is
excellent.
"The Frankfurter Zeitung estimates
that the Germans and Austrians are
now holding more than 100000
prisoners of war. of whom 1,654,00o
are Russians.
"The achievement of German. sub
marines in bombarding towns on the
west coast of England has aroused
great admiration. German papers
express the opinion that the sub
marines evidently are able to do i'm
possible things"
Berlin, Aug. 81, by wireless to
Tuckerton,, N. 1.-THE Overseas News
Agency says, extra editions of the
newspapers announced the fall of
Novogeorgievsk, the capture Of the
fortress following closely that Of
Kovno, and again the city was be-
decked with flags.
Both fortresses," says the news

greater Importance than was Warsaw,
and their capture leaves large bodies
OF troops free for other uses.
"The taking of immense quantities
of war material at both places indi-
Gates that the Russians were prepared
for a long resistance and their re-
duction by storm Is hailed as a great
achievement for the German troops"

municipalities Enter Movement
Enthusiastically.
Effort to Reduce Fire Losses
Throughout State.

All Kansas will clean house Friday
official fire prevention day under a
proclamation recently issued by Gov
ernor Capper. Reports from score
of the larger towns of the state indi-
cate that unusual interest will be
taken in the campaign to clean up
the back yards and rubbish piles and
reduce fire waste.
For several years Kansas has OBJ
served fire prevention day. 1t was
really inaugurated by Harrison Park
man during his first few weeks as
state fire marshal and was given Of
fetal recognition in a proclamation by
Governor Hodges. This year Cover
nor Capper proclaimed Friday, AprlI
16, as fire prevention day ana urgeo
that all Kansas take a hand in clean
ing up possible causes of fire in the
towns and cities
Many of the towns have been max
ing preparations for the municipal
house cleaning and have volunteered
free wagons to haul rubbish, leaves
and other possible causes of fires.
Not satisfied with the mere clean up
against possible fire losses, Kansas
towns have decreed that the lawns
shall be raked and cleaned and the
streets scrubbed in observance of the
spring house cleaning season. In
many towns two days will be devoted
to the clean up campaign AS result
of the campaign, Kansas towns hope
to reduce the danger of fire from rub
bish heaps and to make a further re-
duction in fire losses in the years re-
port.
Topeka and other large towns in
Kansas will participate in the clean
up movement. But the work will not
be confined to the cities. In fact some
of the most intense interest in the
movement has been displayed in the
rural districts and third class towns
of the state. Hundreds of copies of
the governors proclamation have
been circulated and the campaign
will be state wide.

Were it not such a serious matter,
cleanup week as conducted by the
city would be considered a joke by
residents of Western avenue between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. A
resident living at 1911 Western ave-
nue., reports that the neighbors in
dustriously gathered up all rubbish
and and piled it neatly to be hauled
away by the city wagons, expecting
thereby to escape flies and diseases.
But the city wagons. according to re-
port, hauled most of the rubbish just
about seventy-five feet and dumped
it on vacant lot.

RAIN HALTS SIEGE.
Only Light Firing by Sentries in Mat

Brownsville, April 15.-Heavy rain
promised to interfere today with OPP

firing by sentries.

out of the boat
Among the local Mexicans here
have been numerous plots to assist
their friends on the other side of the
river. One of-the most amusing of
these, which was not carried out, was
to seize secretly the aeroplane bombs
or the Carranza garrison at Mata-
moros. Carranza agents spread the
reports that these bombs contained
n1troglycerin. The plotters conceived
the idea of removing the nitroglycerin
and filling the bombs with castor oil

Japan Indignantly Denies Story of
Naval Base in Mexico.

Washington. April 15.-An official
statement authorized by the Japan
embassy today characterized as pre-
posterous'' reports that a naval base
had been established at Turtle Bay,
Lower California, and declared there
never has been any intention on the
part of the Japanese government to
locate a naval base or occupy any ter
ritory on the west coast of Mexico.
Operations of Japanese warships in
Turtle bay, embassy officials said,
were solely for the purpose of salvag-
ing the stranded cruiser ASama. 1t
was stated that landing on the shore
of the bay probably had been found
necessary in connection with the sa1v-
age work. OF reports a naval base
had been established, the embassy
statement said:
"It is more than absurd; it is pre-
posterouS. There never has been any
intention on the part of the japanese
government to locate a naval base or
to occupy any territory on the west
coast of Mexico. A few japanese fish
ermen, about a score in number, per-
haps frequent the waters of this bay,
but they have no connection whatever
with the Japanese naval establish
ment.'

RAIDS SHIP YARDS
Visits English Coast
Towns Wednesday Night.
Was Trying to Destroy New
British Dreadnaughts.

London, April 15.-With the evident
object of damaging the ship yards on
the Tyne, a Zeppelin airship raided
the NOrthum berland coast of England
Wednesday night.
The giant dirigible first appeared
over Blyth about o'clock and drop
ped eight bombs. Then it visited
BedHngton where several more bombs
were dropped. Veering to the south
ward the towns of Seatonburn, Cram
ington and Wallsend were bombarded.
The night was exceptionally dark
and not a breath of air was stirring.
Immediately the alarm was given and
all northeast coast towns were ordered
to eXtinguiSh lights.
Britain's newest dreadnoughts are
in process of construction along the
Tyne and night shifts were at work
when the alarm was raised. Every
precaution was taken at once by the
authorities. All light were put out,
the men dismissed and the yards
closed.
The nearest the air raider got to
Newcastle, the center of the great
ship yards, was Wallsend. This is a
town of 100000. An eye witness there
said:
.It was just $40 when heard the
whirr of the Zeppelin's propelIers.
Looking up 1 could just see the dark
craft. Suddenly there were a number
of sharp explosions and flashes of
light in the sky.
"The flashes that followed the ex-
plOSlOnS nSnCeO up the enClTo town.
The streets were quickly filled with
men, women and children. There was
great excitement. 1t was all over in
a few minutes Lights were ordered
extinguished as soon as the Zeppelin
was discovered but before they could
be put out the aircraft had passed on
Did Small Damage.
Newcastle, Eng, April 15.-Two
men and one woman slightly hurt and
one building destroyed by fire and
three damaged, was the sum total of
the destruction wrought boy one of
Count Zeppe1in's aerial dreadnoughts
in 35-mile cruise over the Tyne dis
trict.
Eleven towns were attacked with
explosive and incendiary bombs, ac-
cording to information gathered by
the Newcastle officials today. The
Zeppelin hurled at least 80 destruc-
tive missiles that tore great holes in
the ground and spurted into flames
and then fled eastward across the
North sea, while machine guns and
rifles ratified harmlessly to the sky.
