Northcliffe Says Germans Concentrate
Against U. S. Supply Ships

NEW YORK, oct 3.-Germany's sub
marine menance is being concentrated
against American military supply ships. A
German submarine base probably has been
established off the French coast, in the
American transport lane. There is no real
decrease in total Allied submarine slnkings
America can only fulfill her gigantic army
requirements in France by depending on
her own shipping and making the issue with
Germany personal
This is the Interpretation Of the subma-
inc situation as expressed in an interview
with Lord Northcliffe, head of the British
war mission. He said
The most urgent news that has crossed
the Atlantic since l arrived in this coun-
try at the beginning of June is the Of
fcial statement by Sir Joseph Maclay,
the British controller of shipping, to the
effect that unless the United States faces
the shipping problem and constructs
5000, 900 of tons Of shipping annually the
military efforts of the United states Will
be crippled from the start. This is the
solemn warning of Sir Joseph himself
1t has passed the censor and is the first
real note of alarm of the seriousness or
the submarine sinkings.
The whole system of publishing the fig.
ures of submarine sinking by the Allies
is misleading, and l have protested
against it ever since it was adopted
do not believe that any substantial prog
ress has been made in stopping subma-
rine depredations. Last week we were
told officially that the submarine sink
ings of British ships were the lightest
menced. Within a few hours cables
flashed the news that the sinkings of
French ships over the same period were
the heaviest yet recorded.

Interesting Detailed Results of
Work of 10000 Children
Shown in Report
e1S ACRES CULTIVATED

The school and war gardens, under the
auspices of the Board of Education, have
had the most successful season in their his
tory, having grown more than $4,000 worth
of produce during the last summer, accord
ing to a statement issued today from the
Office Of william Secher, diuector Of physi'
cal education.
There were seventy gardens, coverins
sixty-six and one-half acres, under the
direct superintendent of teachers. or
these, fourteen, totaling five and one-half
acres were regular school gardens on land
attached to the schools, and fifty-six, equal
ing slxty-one acres, were war gardens on
land rented or donated for the purpose. In
addition to this amount, there were 50S0
vacant lot gardens in which teachers acted
in an advisory capacity without direct su-
pervision. It is estimated that nearly
10000 children participated in these ac-
tivities.
Miss Caro- Miller assistant to William
Stecher is in charge of this work. She
is now busy working out plans for clear
ing up the gardens, for fall plowng and
for the work next spring and summer. 1t
has reached such proportions that special
equipment is being gradually acquired. A
plow has been purchased this fall. 1t is

In speaking OF the work that Is being
done along these lines, Miss Miller said: (:
I'VE aim to bring the children in touch
with nature We find that the younger
children become very fond of the garden
work and take an ever-increasing interest
in It. With the older pupils they have
other interests and it is difficult to arouse
their enthusiasm. However, I believe we
are doing a great work, and that It is one
that will be of immense benefit to the city
in future years."
The interest aroused is we'll illustrated
by letter received by Miss Martha S.
Stewart, principal of the Hoffman Public
School. which follows:
"Our two children were so interested last
year with their small plots under Miss
Grove that they wanted something larger
this summer. Their father rented a third
OF an acre for them at Penfleld and had il
plowed by the farmers boy. The children
worked it and did all the planting them
selves. The yield has been such that we
have not bought a vegetable all summer,
have canned many tomatoes, dried lot of
beans and corn and have enough beets,
turnips, celery, beans, corn, cabbage ana
caulifiower to last us nearly all winter"
In another school the children have
undertaken TO do janltor service for a por-
ton of the building. For this they will re-
ceive the regular janitor's fee from the
Board of Education. The funds thus col
lectcd will be used for purchasing manure
When the gardens are cleaned up for the
winter It is estimated that the total crops
for the year will reach close to $40, 900.
There are still many vegetables in the
ground, such as potatoes, carrots beets,
etc A final report covering all activities
will be made previous to November /.

All reports show the desperation with

Prince Rupprecht without any relief from
the pressing danger that besets him.
Fresh troops have been brought UP in the
region of Polygon Wood, and the German

The British and French reports state that
the Germans failed utterly to recover their
lost positions. The repulse of n hostile

As each of the big attacks was repulsed
the British artillery let lose a rain of shells
that PLAYED havoc in the ranks of the re-
