AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE 10 EXTEND
 SCOPE OF TRAINING
By the Associnted Press

American Training Camp in France, July 21.-The American troops here will extend the scope of their training on Monday by beginning to practice bomb and hand grenade throwing. The ma jority of the officers including even some of the general staff, have already ex- perimented successfully. along ~this line, and with the aid of expert French as- sistants will be able to instruct the men.
 From all appearances to date the Americans should be able to become speedily very proficient in this mode of warfare. The majority of the soldiers have played baseball more or less and naturally throw well. As far as the of ficers as a whole have pitted their skill against the trained Frenchmen they have outdistanced the French throwers.

Washington, July 21-Recent increases in freight rates on bituminous coal from mines in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland
 West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee to points in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan were upheld today by the in- terstate commerce commission with cer- tain minor exceptions. The commission found that the adjustment of rates based upon differential of % cents between the rates from Ohio districts and near hy districts in the other states would be unduly preferential to those and pre- scr1ped new diffeTentfal of 10 cents per ton instead. The rates from the Ohio e,s- tricts were found to be reasonable at present &

down. In fact, there was smooth sailing all along the line and everybody had good time. Got good recreation right close to nature, needed no new clothes for the trip. We had so much pleasure and at so little expense. The cost of the en- fire trip for all of us was just Sl37. The automobile way is the best after all to insure a genuine vacation"
 And certainly it is. When people begin to plan for a rest at a resort they wear themselves out in preparation, search all the maps, railroad guides and have worlds of correspondence for routes and costs. Then the everlasting wardrobest Dinner dresses, evening gowns and hats galore Style cuts them out of much real living and then after all they are worn out on their return, 10 to l. Too much bridge, dancing and ice creams. There is something soulful lacking in this going to the springs"
 People are becoming to love more the commonplace things. They are seeing more the life worth while and the auto mobile has done more to carry them to the woods than any one conveyance.

WHILE M|CHAEL|S
 BLUFFS" GERMANS !. ARE NEAR STARVING
News Seeping Out From Berlin Is That Food Sup ply of Country Is Not
 Sufficient

Washington, July 21.-Quite differ ent in tone from the optimistic view expressed by the new German chan cellor in his speech to the Reichstag are the reports reaching the state de- partment from persons coming out of Germany regarding the food condi- tions and outlook in the central em- pires.
 While this information necessarily Is second hand, state department agents are careful to forward only such pcws as in their opinion demands credence.
 Standing out in strong relief to these reports is the statement that Germany lacks no less than 6o0,o00 tons of wheat to carry the population through the middle of August, when the new harvest can be gathered. The harvest also is very poor in eastern Prussia owing to adverse weather conditions, and even potatoes promise only minimum production.
 Many people are starving in Poland.
 An American citizen coming from Berlin declares that the food situa- tion is apparently worse during the past three months and the German people themselves cherish no optimism as to the next harvest. which is known to be failure in eastern and north ern Germany.
 Tension between Germany and Aus tria is declared to have grown so that suspected Austrians are being ln- termed in Germany.
 The centrist leader Erzberger, is re- ported to have charged the gcvern- ment with manipulating U-boat sta-i tistics to have given warning that tna monarchical sentiments of the people are diminishing daily and to have ad- vised the government never again to threaten German strikers with ma- chine guns, as had been done at Stet- tin.
