American
Destroyers In
British Waters
(By j. W. Pegler.)

\OAAtou 1IeSS OCaH correspondent
With the American Destroyer
F1otilla in British Waters, July
3 flake off the lid and show
the people home what a fierce
fight we've up against
Thus highly-placed American
naval officer, attached to the
command Of this destroyer squad
ron, endeavored to say something
about grave situation, without
being able to say anything de-
finite. The officers tell plenty-in
confidence. The correspondents
attached to the American DESTROY
ers know that ships have been de-
stroyed by the U-boats- in far
greater tonnage than at present
they can be produced. They
know also, something of the meth
DDS by which our destroyers are
fighting the unseen menace and
OF the handicaps which are hamp-
ering the fght-handicaps which
give the Germans the advantage
and which the Americans back
home could remove in a few
months.
But the naval officer couldn' t
tell what he knew, for publication.
And the correspondents are on
their honor to submit all their
work to the censorship.
"It would help the enemy if
we should tell our people all they
ought to know" the naval ex-
pert continued. "a frank state
ment Of the whole submarine
situation, with it's bearing on the
land campaigns, might be of con-
| siderable practical value to him.
Perhaps it would also stimulate
his sinking morale for a time
that depends on whether he is
expecting a great deal or little
from his submarine fight.
But [ seriously question whether
it would not eventually help us
to win this fight. If the people
could only know, they wouldn t
for minute hold back the sup
port we need.''
Though the censorship, with it's
evil tendency to shut the peoples
eyes to the peril, be maintained,
the officer said ours need not be-
come losing fight. Under pres
ent conditions, he advised, the
people back home can give best
aid by backing the war program
Of the Army and Navy Depart
ments without question, however
grotesque they may seem.
| "Just now there are a hundred
important facts which would illu.
inmate the public mind,' he con
Guided. GAS long as civilians
can't know these things the best
they can do is to trust the depart
ments that really do know, to
make the right decisions.

To Fill Exemption Gaps h
 First Draft Quota.

With examinations for the first quota the provost marshall generals office that the second class of 755. TOO men registered under the draft will be call ed up for examination early this month
 The second class. which will number no per cent of the 6S7000 men needed to fill the regular army and militia and the new national army of 500,000. will be sifted for men to replace those ex- empted in tho first group.
 The first district in the country to re port calling out the second class of reg istrants was No. II, ill the national cap- ital. It sent out notices summoning sixty additional men for examination. Exemption claims were so numerous in other local districts that other boards prepared to issue the second call immediately.
 General Crowder has moved to re- strict exemptions further Medical stu dents and men serving in Red Cross ambulance companies have no valid claims for exemption or discharge, he ruled
 Agricultural workers and munition factory hands also will be greatly re- stricted in exemption claims, it was in timated
 Although these industries are not spe- officially exempted, appeals are pouring i'll from the farm districts and big in dustrial centers for favorable rulings Exemption boards must consider the claims of farm laborers strictly on their merits. The city war gardener will not be exempted as a farmland who feeds the army, it was stated.
 General Crowder said from this date members of local boards must consider themselves as drafted for such service and cannot resign. If they persist ill refusing to perform their duties they will be reported to the nearest repre- sentative of the federal department of justice,

NEW ENGLAND FOOD TRAINING
 CAMP.

A special Food Training Camp de. partment, representing the Eastern States Exposition and Dairy Show of Sprinfgeld, Mass. and the other large fairs of the country, was organized in Washington this week to work out for the government definite plans by which Herbert O. Hoover, director of food control, can make the greatest possible use of the Eastern States Exposition and other shows i'll presenting to the American people the great food prob. lemss which now confront the nation.
 The new department will begin at once to work out plan of cooperation between MT. Hoover's department and the expositions. It is thought probably that series of government exhibits will be arranged and that efforts will be made to have representative of MT. Hoover attend the exposition in Springfield and the others, to address the people and explain the food prob. lems and their solution.
 "The expositions have an attendance that is drawn from every walk of life said Mr. Hoover, "and they form a wonderful medium through which the government can reach all of the people in it's work of raising the nation to a standard of war time efficiency. They have the machinery all ready and can put the great food problems before the public in a practical, result-getting way without loss of time''.

NEW ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES.

To obtain maximum service in the energized zones between New Haven and New York, the "New Haven" road has placed orders for five monster electric engines which will be capable of drawing twelve laden passenger coaches each.

CLEAN AND REUSE PARAFFIN.

Paraffin that has become unclean through usage in canning and preserv- ing, may be cleaned and reused. Don t throw it away because dirt and trash have become mixed with it. Many times paraffin can be cleaned with a brush in cold water. If this does not remove all the dirt, says a specialist of the United States Department of Agri. culture, heat the paraffin to boiling and strain it through two or three thicknesses of cheesecloth placed over funnel. Or thin layer of absorbent cotton over one thickness of cheesecloth may be used as the strainer. One straining should be sufficient ordinarily but if the paraffin still is: unclean heat and strain again. Any parattin lodging in the strainer may be recovered by heating the cloth and pouring off the hot liquid to another strainer.

NO SHEEP.

The Connecticut Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defense has encountered decided snag in it's attempt to import carload of sheep into the state. Ofders were received at the office of the committee for num- Der of sheep, but not for full car. Due to the ruling of the railroads pro- hibiting shipping of less than full car, it is impossible to bring in those ordered and it has been found neces- sary to return the money to those who placed orders.
