STILL Vain SLAUGHTER is
PROCEEDING ON ALL FRONTS
GERMANS REINFORCE LINES

LONDON, July 22.-The Germans are now bringing
masses of troops from Verdun and guns from other points
in the endeavor to stem the advance of the Allies in the
Somme region Some idea Of the huge forces engaged at
the Somme is given in official statement from Berlin
which states that more than two hundred thousand
French and British troops attacked the German lines
north and south of the Somme last Thursday front Of
tweny-seven miles, Todays news from the battle ground
which has been contested bitterly since July shows no
great change in the relative positions Of the French Brit
ish and German forces All accounts indicate clearly that
the struggle is most intense, both sides using all their
available resources in men and guns to reach decision

RFlFvF GERMAN FIGHTING SUBS.
WILL ATTACK WAITING SHIPS
NAVAL BATTLE NEAR U. S.

BALTIMORE, July 22.-After the German submar-
inc Deutschland failed to take advantage Of the terrible
lightning and rain storm to get away early today the be-
lief has grown that she is awaiting the coming of her
sister ship the Bremen, and will later sail with the
Bremen conveyed by fighting submarines. That naval
battle at the very doors of America may be looked for is
the opinion of navy experts just now as result Of the
sending of German submarine freighers to this country
Two bic armed ocean going submarines are reported to be
conveying the Bremen to the Cape and intend also to take
the Deutschland out This has been particularly stated
to the United Press by naval expert and it may mean
that the allied patrol ships off the Capes will clash with
the submarines On the other hand this expert points
cut the Germans may intend the bold stroke of topedomg
the allied ships in the Gordon outside the three mile limit
in order to let in the Bremen and let out the Deutschland

GERMANS LOSE ADVANTAGES

LONDON, July 22-For the first time since the be-

SEWARD WINS IN A
CARELESS GAME

In seven innings last evening Sew
ard won from the Saturn nine by 4 to
5. 1t is hard to know what to think
Of the game. The boys from the boat
have been aboard all summer and had
no chance to play ball but for time
it looked as though they were going
to put something over on the cham
pions. One pudgy and unprOmising
looking Saturn player who sailed un-
der the name of "Jew Adler" hit a
couple Of big wallops, one of which
would have netted a homer had not
he been found guilty of passing up
the third base. Sullivan for the visi-
tors fielded we'll and the pitcher would
probably have made a very good
showing if ne had some more practise.
The way it looked to an outsider was
that Seward was very cocksure in the
beginning. Glenn Darlington was
either not up to form or didn't think
it necessary. The weather was cold,
the crowd small and so many varieties
of costumes were in the diamond that,
somehow, the game didn't look right.

SUTHERLAND Is NOMINATED
FOR SENATOR AGAIN

FAIRBANKS, June 26.-The poll
teal pot has started to boil in Fair
banks. The Independents, a group OF
men who will affiliate themselves with
no party Of national prominence, who
are known throughout Fairbanks,
some as Republicans, some as Demo
Gratis, still others as Progressives, got
together in the residence of William
Kenyon night before last and nomi-
mated Dan Sutherland, of Ruby for
senator and Andrew Nerland, of Fair
banks, for representative. AT the
same time, Honorable f. B. Collins
was endorsed as a candidate for re-
preventative.
Dan Driscoll is the chairman of the
committee which shall decide who the
candidates shall be. It is believed
that after Delegate Wickersham is
communicated with, the Independents
will endorse his candidacy for dele
gate. At least so Dan Driscoll stated
when interviewed last evening by a
representative of the Times.
Dan Sutherland is a candidate for
reelection. Mr.. Driscol stated that
the Ruby gentleman who for the last
two sessions Of the legislature served
as senator from the Fourth division,
has written friends here stating that
he would again be a candidate for the
position. Dan Sutherland's petition
will be circulated in a few days, ac-
cording to Mr.. Driscol. There is no
doubt Of his being able to get the
necessary number of signers, so that
he will be a candidate.
Andrew Nerland will be the can
didate Of the Independents to repre-
sapt Fairbanks in Juneau. The meet
ing endorsed Hon. f. B. Collins but
could not nominate him for the reason
that he had not yet got the necessary
endorsement signed by the residents
Of the creek.
Mr.. Driscoll stated that it was the
purpose of the meeting to formulate
some plans, but that another meeting
would be held in the near future. Pc
titions Of candidates from the creeks
that the Independents will endorse
must be sanctioned by the residents of
the creeks of which they are a resi-
dent.
The candidacy Of f. B. Collins will
be endorsed by the Independents with
out doubt, according to Mr.. Driscoll.
Mr.. Driscon likewise stated that
James Wickersham would be endorsed
as candidates for delegate from Alas
ka. But the Independents are waiting
to hear from Mr.. Wickersham.
Col. McPhee, w. E. Kenyon, Dan
Driscol, o. P. Gustad, Henry T. Ray
and other followers and supporters Of
Mr.. Wickersham were present at the
meeting. Another meeting will be
held in a few days.-Ex.

BOY 20 ENDS LIFE IN CELL
Confesses Stealing From Robert
Norris and Others and Felt Disgrace

Confesses Stealing From Robert
Norris and Others and Felt Disgrace
Broken in spirit by the disgrace
of arrest, and facing Imprisonment
for larceny, Walter w. Bender, twenty
years old, of S45 South Fortieth
street, Philadelphia. hanged himself
with his belt Wednesday in a cell in
City Hall. He was arrested on Thurs
day December 23rd. accused of hav-
ing robbed the homes Of Robert Nor
ris, Jr, at 1920 Catharine street,
formerly of this town, and Msrmad-
like Baker. at 5914 Carpenter street.
In each instance jewelry worth $3.50
was taken. On Tuesday following
he was held for court by Magistrate
Pennock in $500 bail. At the hear
ing be sat with his head hanging and
had nothing to say. Wednesday
james Martin. a turnkey. walked by
the tier of cells calling prisoners to
their breakfast. In Bender's cell he
saw the prisoner apparently standing
at the door. An instant later he saw
the strap around the boys neck and
knew at once what had happened
One end of the strap was fastened TO
the grill work. Having fixed the
moose, the boy bent his knees and al
lowed his body TO swing. Police
Surgeon Wanamaker was summoned.
but the boy was dead. According to
the police, young Bender stole to get
fine clothes. such as his acquantanees
had.

UPSTATE FARM STATISTICS
County Agent Cooch 10 Visit the 65
Farms Around Middletown

Farmers living in the vicinity of
Middletown, Odessa. Townsend and
Mt. Pleasant, who gave County Agent
L. II. Cooch a statement of the re-
ceipts and expenses of last winter.
will be interested to know that he
will revisit these same farms in
January. After the Records taken
last winter had been figured out and
returned. practically every one of the
sixty-five farmers requested the Coun-
" Agent to take a series of records
extending over a period at least five
years. IL will be remembered that
last year was a particularly good
wheat and corn year. and as prices
for these two grains were above nor
NAL, record of one year only could
not give a fair estimate Of the farm
Yields in this territory. II will
therefore be interesting to note the
difference between the incomes seeured
from this farming area last year and
in 1916. The Records taken last
year showed the average yield o. hay
for the sixty FIVE farms was less than
a ton per acre, and as a direct result
a great deal of alfalfa has been put
out. The Farm Analysis Records
enable the County Agent to point out
that timothy and clover had been
raised at a tremendous loss on most
of those farms. Doubtless this new
series Of records viii bring TO light
other conditions. which, II modified.
would make these farms still more
profitable. With such excellent soil,
a few slight changes in management
should make practically every farm
more productive.
