were lacking. however, and, owing 10
the scarcity of cash wheat at the sea-

about 100000 bushels.
The car situation in the West was
not materially improved, but the trace
seemed quite confident that the con-

The weather over the west was
somewhat unsettled, with prospects OF

credulous of crop complaints at TINS

showed hesitation about following the
advance in May. Cash premiums at
the seaboard were strong.

PUT ON THE RETIRED LIST
Military Status of Major Albert Pfaen-
der of New UIm.

Major Albert Pfaender Of New Ulm
has been placed on the retired roll of
national guard officers, and not on
the reserve list, as has been reported.
This has been done under the pro-
visions of the laws which allow an
officer of at least ten years standing,
on his own request, to be placed on
the retired roll of officers. These are
not subject to call, although they
would have preference in case they
offered their services under a call for
volunteers.
Major Pfaender states frankly that
he has no present desire to volunteer,
as he cannot see what duties the land
forces will be called on to perform,
except it be under the same circum-
stances as the service on the Mexican
border.
Under the status of the retired roll,
Major Pfaender still retains his mem
bership in the National Guard As
ISOLATION of Minnesota, as an honor
airy member, and at present holds the
office of vice president of that or
ganiZation.

STABLES ARE LACKING
SUBJECT FOR MEETING
Commercial Club to Take Up
Proposition at Its Next
Session
From Thursdays Daily.

The question of where farmers are
to put their teams when they come
to MankatO is beginning to be a SER
ious one. The Clifton House barn
has been rented for other purposes,
and other barns have closed, one
after another. The places where far
mers in large numbers could feed
their horses are thus going out of
existence, and no new ones are be-
ing built This matter will come be-
fore the regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial club next Monday
night for consideration. Yesterday
President Currier appointed a special
committee, composed of F. NJ. Otto,
Charles Steiner and Andrew Rudberg,
to look the city over and see what
measures can be taken to provide
hitching and feeding facilities for the
farmers teams, to report at Monday
nights meeting. The club will meet
at the Hotel Heinrich, as usual, with
a 50--cent dinner, at $50 o'clock.
A meeting of employers of female
labor was held at the Commercial
club office yesterday afternoon to
see what can be done to oppose
house bill As, which places such re-
strictions that retail stores employ
ing lady clerks would have difficulty
in keeping open the usual hours.
The railroad committee has re-
ceived a letter from Division Super
intendent Wright of the Great West

Dublin, March 25.-[Correspond-
ence of The Associated Pressl.-All
| Ireland appears to be engaged in one
vast ploughing match. Ploughs are
being drawn by every available type
of animal while men and women who
| never put their hand to plough be-
fore have learned to do the work in
the submarine emergency. The Irish
department Of agriculture has thrown
all it's executive machinery into the
effort to increase the tillage enor-
| mously ana has obtained a decree
under the defense of the realm act
making certain minimum percent
age of extra tillage compulsory on
I every farmer in Ireland holding more
than ten acres of land.
This novel law requires that every
farmer must till at least ten per cent
of the arabic part of his holdings in
addition to whatever amount he titled
last year, unless he is already cult
waiting fifty per cent of his land, in
which case he is not obliged to do
more. There are 100000 holdings to
which this regulation applies, with an
arabic area of 14,500,000 acres.
Work of ood-Production.
The departments county commit
tees, which have for years been or
ganiZed in every county of Ireland,
have stopped all other work and put
their experts and administrative
STATS on the sole work of food-pro-
duction. They have organized special
committees in every parish and are
/ modifying all the available supplies
of seeds, manures and implements.
Machinery for saving labor is to be
made to go as far as possible by
system of local exchange.
Few people realize what a tremend-
Gus asset Ireland has been to Eng
land during the war as reservoir
OF foodstuffs. In the year before the
war England's imports of foodstuffs
from her leading sources of supply
were as follows: United States 49,
100000 pounds sterling; Ireland 49,
100000 pouends, sterling; Argentine,
30.0G0,000 pounds; Denmark, 31,00O,-
600 pounds; India 100000 pounds;
Canada 100000 pounds.
The war has disturbed this balance
somewhat, bringing in greater sup
plies from America, but Ireland has
also increased her output, and the i'm
ports of food from that island in 1915,
the latest figures available, show
total of 100000 pounds.

American Destroyers
Active Against U-Boats
CONTINUED from Page one)

tNSOAAtihuSO 1IOLA rage Ou0J
Their gunnery, too, has greatly i'm
proved. One gun crew saw the spar
of a sunken ship the other day which
they at first thought was a periscope.
and shattered it at 1000 yards
New ideas also have been and are
constantly worked out with a view to
rendering the work of the submarine
increasingly difficult For intance,
two officers, working on designs for
new destroyers, have introduced
many new ideas gained from obser-
vations made in the anti-submarine
game. Still others have suggested
changes in gun firing. In fact, some
thing new. although not always prac-
ticable, Is worked out all the time.
Every destroyer has to its credit
at least one encounter with a subma-
rine, while some of the more fortu-
nate have stalked two or three under
water craft. At no time. however,
have the submarines showed fight.
They always avoid meeting.
The depth bombs are feared most
by the U-boat commanders. These
weapons are high explosives fixed to
explode by water pressure at a de-
tsired depth.
The wide cruising radius of the
American boats also has helped to
produce unmistakable signs of a
weakening in the morale of the SUBJ
marine crews. They have made the
U-boats spend more time under wa
ter than they used to do. There Is
not SO much destruction of ships by
gunfire and bombs as formerly. The
augmented destroyer patrol has made
the submarines use up more torpedoes
with the result that they have to re-
turn to their base more frequently
for reloading.
When not patrolling the shipping
lanes the destroyers have been con-
voying food and supply ships and
transports. An assignment to convoy
American troop ships is welcomed by
the men, many of whom feel that rel
atives and friends may be on the
transports.
| The destroyers also have taken lau-
rels in the humane task of rescuine
survivors of torpedoed ships. The
Americans began snatching torpedoed
lcrews from watery graves the day OF
their arrival and for a long time not
a week passed without several de-
stroyers accounting for survivors.
This rescue work is more often than
not done in mine infested areas and
places where U-boats are known to be
lurking, and Is always attended by
grave danger to the rescuer. Ere
quently while one destroyer is pick
ing up survivors another will run pro-
ttecting circles around the scene. More
often, however. the hazardous work
is. done single handed, the destroyer
guns booming into space as a warn
ing to submarines not to attempt te
interfere. In tempestous weather this
work puts the mems qualities OF sea-
manship to severe test.

MOB HOOTS AT

Pelted With Missiles AS
They March Three Miles
to Station.

Petrograd, Oct. 1.-THE generals
arrested for participation in the
Kornilon uprising on their departure
from Berditchev. province of Kiev,
on Oct. 10, were compelled to walk
three miles to the railroad station,
while they were jeered, pelted with
missiles and threatened by a mob of
several thousand persons.
The prisoners were brought from
the guard house at 8 o'clock in the
evening to where motor cars, sur
rounded by a hostile crowd, were
waiting. The So cadets who formed
the guard had difficulty In standing
Off the mob, which demanded that
the generals be surrendered to them
for summary punishment. The mob
refused to permit the prisoners to
ride In the automobiles and insisted
that they walk the longest possible
route to the station through the prin-
cipal streets. The mob followed,
throwing sticks and stones. The pro.
cession was stopped at each street
| lamp to pro1ong the batting. while
/ the crowd shouted xiii Them" XIII
/ the traitors
Gen. Arloff was struck in the eye
by a missile, while Gen. yancousky' 8
| spine was injured seriously.
When the prisoners arrived at the
station the mob demanded that they
be put in a convict car instead Of the
coaches prepared for them. The
] guard compromised on the baggage
car. but the mob still refused to per-
4 nit the train to depart. The situa-
ton became menac1ng and when the
mob opened fire on the train one OF
the cadet guard ordered the engineer
TO pull out as quickly as possible.
