CRUSH ENGLAND,
GERMANY URGED

Copenhagen. August 18.-General
Won Ardene, military critic of the Ber-
lin Tageblatt, warns the German mill
tary leaders that they must bestir
themselves to find some strategic or
tactical means Of winning a decisive
victory on the western front, and of
defeating England, the soul of the
hostile coalition, on land. Otherwise,
he says, there is no hope of bring
ing the war to an honorable end for
Germany.
German leadership, General Ard
enne maintains, always has been able
to direct the campaign into new
courses, when stagnation threatened,
and he adds the Germans are entitled
to believe methods will be found to
force mighty@England through battles
on land to seek peace.
The military critic intimates this
mi ght be done by an attempt to over.
wheim the French army, which he
assumes is weakened and 'discourag-
ed, before the arrival of American
assistance, which. he says, would
leave England isolated.

CABLE DEFECT
CAUSES PROBE
FOR WIRELESS
Mystery of Nighttime Flashes
at Pleasure Beach Solved
by Policeman.

Reports of a wireless station in OPP
Grafton at Pleasure Beach, which for
several days have caused concern to
the local police authorities as well
as government officials, placed all the
residents of that shore front under
close observance.
After investigation Policeman
Alexander P. Hatch, assigned for duty
at the Lake Torpedo Boat plant, was
successful in tracing the suspicious
circumstances surrounding the report
to it's source, and determining that
the federal statutes were not being
violated.
Watchmen at the Lake plant have
for nearly a week been puzzled by
might be a series of dots and dashes
from a point near the island which is
disconnected from the mainland by
an open bridge.
Inspection of the island by day re-
suited in failure to locate any ap-
paratus and the matter was reported
to the federal authorities.
Thursday Policeman Hatch dis
covered a charged electric cable
which had no insulation in one spot.
The line of cable was traced to its
source and termination on the island
and Thursday night it was found that
vibration of the bridge structure on
the Bridgeport shore end was respon-
sible for the flashes further along the
cable.

By Power of the Per

London Aug. 1S-Concern' ng the
report in the German official COM
munication that the forces of Crown
Prince Rupprecht had taken LANCE
marck, which was captured by the
British yesterday, the official press
bureau issued the following communi-
cation:
1.-The German wireless official COM
munication yesterday contains a series
of misstatements. The right flank
of the allied attack of Thursday was
on the Ypres- Menin road There was
no attack between this road and the
River Lys. The enemy therefore
nearly doubled the length Of the from.
Of attack.
1.-THE enemy has not recovered
Langemarck, nor did he make any at
tempt to do so. A British staff Of
ficer reported at 6 O'Clock last even
ing that he had just returned from
Langemarck, where he had been for
five hours.
THE British troops hold not only
Langemarck, but a consiI cradle length
Of the German offensive position 500
yards north Of Langemarck.
1.-THE reference to Poelkappelle OBJ
viously is intended to give the i'm
preston that the British failed to
reach some imaginary and distant OBJ
jective, just as in the German official
statement Thursday it was implied
that the British objective on the Lens
front was vendin-le-Vieil. It is suf-
f1cient to state that the BIZ fish troops
gained all their detectives not only
north of Lens on Wednesday, but also
from St. Julien northward on Thurs
day."
The statement also indicates that
the German assertion that the attack
on Wednesday was made with four
Canadian divisions was an exaggera-
ton

PROTECT deer
TO Be SLOGAN
!. OF ALL HUNTERS
Venison To Save Ranch
And Farm Raised
Flesh.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1S-While
IL states will have no Lig-game hunt
ing this year because deer have been
exterminated or because the stock
has been so reduced that the sea-
son is closed, there are 33 other states,
according to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture which will
have an open season for deer hunting.
This season ranges from days in
New Jersey and days in Massachu-
sets and Vermont, to 2 months or
more in some of the southern states
These seasons will open in August in
Oregon and in most parts of Califor-
mia; in September in the rest of Cali
fornia and in Idaho, South Carolina,
and Virginia; in October in Maine,
New Hampshire, New York, Georgia,
Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Ne
vara, Arizona and New Mexico; in
November in Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and several of the south
ern states; and in December in Penn
sylvania. In about one-third of the
states the law allows the hunter one
deer a year. and in most others, two.
The Department of Agriculture
urges all persons to cooperate to Sc
cure the best possible protection of
deer so as to get the maximum
amount of venison as a source of
meat. It is estimated that about 3d.
900 deer are killed legally in the
United States each year. These pro-
duce nearly 100000 pounds Of veni-
son. The Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agricu1-
ture says that this number of deer
can be very largely increased, since
only two or three states produce more
than 10000 deer a year and many less
than 1000. When LOO deer are OBJ
tanned in a state as dense1y populat-
ed as Massachusetts it should not be
difficult, says the Department, to in
crease the total in the other states by
at least rs per cent. Every pound
of venison brought in from the woods
should be made to save a pound OF
beef, mutton or pork raised on ranch
or farm.
The cooperation of game commits.
sioners, conservation associations ano
other organizations is requested by
| the Department as an aid in securing
| accurate reports of the. number Of
deer killed in each State this year
Such reports should prove of value

number of deer annually taken in any
state may be increased without i'm
pairing the breeding stock.

The good soldier is almost "fussy"
in the care of his person, his clothing,
his bedding and his other belongings.
Personal cleanliness includes using
only your own, linen, toilet articles,
cup and mess kit. Many annoying

passed from one person to others by
using articles in common.
In the training. camp there will be
plenty of shower baths, and you will
of course, make free use of them. If
in temporary camps or at any other
time you cannot obtain a bath, give
yourself a good stiff rub with a dry
towel Twice a week, or oftener if
necessary, your shirts. drawers and
socks should be washed and fresh I'M
derclothes put on In case it is nee
essary to sleep in your underwear, as
| it probably will be, put one aside to
wear at night, so that you will al

The scalp should Be thoroughly
| cleaned about as frequently as the
rest of the body. This will be made
easier if you keep your hair cut short.
The teeth should be brushed at
least once a day; twice a. day is bet
ter. Neglecting this practice will
cause decay of the teeth, resulting in
failure to chew food thoroughly and
probably ending in stomach troubles
Cleanliness includes also the prac-

Nawat, Sultan I'll Mulk,
Nizam of Hyderabad

The premier prince OF the Indian
Empire, Nawat, Sultan I'll Mulk, Nj
Fam of Hyderabad, is a big man in
every sense of the word. He is rich,
he is powerful, he rules with intelli-
gence and he is doing his bit for the
Allies. No man can ask more. This
Indian Iobleman, who is one of the
worlds richest potentates, is today
celebrating his fifty-second birthday.
In November 1915 it was reported
that the Nizam had been deposed by
attempts to stir up a holy war in In
dia. This story. however, proved
merely to be a wild war rumor. The
fact of the matter is that at the out
break of the war the Nizam, who is
Mohammedan, although most of his
subjects are Hindus, issued a procla-
nation calling upon his people to re-
main loyal to the British Crown. He
followed this by contributing $780,
900 from his own strong box to defray
the expenses of the 1st Hyderabad
Imperial Lancers and the 18th Deccan
Horse, which were transported to the
front in France.
Tyderabad is one of the richest
states in India, with an area of $4,000
square miles and a population of
about 100000. The Nizam claims
to be descended in the male line from
tAbu Bekr, the father of Ayesha, one
of the wives of Mohammed, and who
succeeded the prophet as the head of
Islam and the first of a long line of
Caliphs. It is said that the Nizam has
an annual income of ten million dol
lars, while his jewels, including the
great Nizam diamond of $50 carats,
have been valued at fifty million dol
lars. While there has been practi-
cally no news from any part of India
for more than two years. it has al
ways been known that Hyderabad has
| long been the center of disaffection
against British rule, and the head
quarters of native agitators in the pay
of the Germans. During the recent
| investigation in England into the fail
ure and mismanagemento of the Meso-
potamia expedition facts were brought
to light disclosing a high state of I'M
rest in India, which necessitated the
maintenance of large bodies of troops
| in the Empire. 1t is more than like
| ly that some of these troops were
employed in suppressing uprisings in
Hyderabad as well as other parts of
| India.

preceding Lessons: L. Your Post OF
Honor. 2.Making Good as Sol
der. 3. Nine Qualities of Sol
8. First Days in Camp -
When large numbers of men are
assembled in camp it is necessary for
the good of all that strict rules of
personal conduct and sanitation
should be enforced. These rules are
by no means hardship. They are
protection. BY insisting on strict ODE
dience to these rules. the diseases
which onces took SO heavy a toll in
nearly all military camps have been
been practically eliminated.
Suppose you were asked to make
a choice; either to live under condi-
tons in which small pox, typhoid fe-
yer, diarrhea, dysentary and cholera
flourish; or to live under strict regu-
lations. which make these diseases
far more of a rarity in military than
in civil life. Your good sense would
Z lead you to choose the latter. Bear
this in mind. See to it that you CO.
operate with enthusiasm in the meas
ures that will be taken to keep your
I camps clean, comfortable ana health
full.
One of the pests of camp life, if
the presence of swarms of flies. Flies
are not merely annoying. They are
dangerous. Somebody has said, with
perhaps a slight exaggerAtion, that to
! soldiers they are more dangerous
/ than bullets. This is because flies
carry disease germs. They feed on
I manure, garbage, uncovered food, hu-
man excreta and the like. They also
lay their eggs wherever refuse Of the
I same kind is found. The best way
to keep flies away fromt camps is to
destroy the places where they breed
and feed; in other words, keep the
camp spoxlessly clean
For this reason the dai]ysf..policing'
Cor cleaning up) of the camp is a
matter of first Importance. You will
be required to keep your company
street free from even small objects,
bits of food, and the Hike, which
might attract flies or other insects. At
least once day a squad will be de-
tailed to inspect and clean every
square foot Of space in or near your
living quarters. This Is duty which
ana experienced' soldier usually per-
forms with more interest and thor
he more clearly realizes its import
ance
The best safeguards against disease,
either in the army or out of it, are
soap and sunshine. You will be re-
quired to keep everything in the camp
well scrubbed and we'll aired. If 1t
were not required, you would doubt
less be anxious to do 1t, anyway.

Fermentation Of
Beets Beans And
Cucumbers o. K.

The fermentation method may be
used in preserving string beans. beets
cabbage, cucumbers, and other sucu-
lent garden crops. sauerkraut and
pickles put up in this way are fairly
well known in this country, but COM
paratively few persons have thought
of trying it as household measure
for preserving these and other vege-
tables. Those who like acid foods
and who have too few canning con-
tainers to hold their surplus products
may find this method useful.
The vegetables are not cooked, but
are put down in a salt brine in any
f, non-metal wAter-tight container and
are sealed up with paraffin and are
otherwise made air tight.
To preserve cucumbers. Wash the
fruit If necessary and pack into a
clean, waterltight barrel. key, or
crock. On the bottom of the barrel
place a layer of dill and handful
of mixed spice. Add another layer

of salt to 10 quarts of water. To each

COAL SHORTAGE
ARISING IN UTAH

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 1S.-That
there will be coal shortage in Utah
next winter on account of poor trans
portation facilities from the mines
and general car shortage is the opin-
ion that is gathered here.
Several civic and public bodies of
the state have appealed to the Denver
e. Rio Grande railroad for relief e.
El Calvin, president of the Union Pa
cific railroad, who recently came here,
said that there was no doubt but that
there would be q shortage of coal,
despite the fact that coal is mined
almost at the doors of Salt Lake City
Various causes are contributing to
this state Of affairs. In the first place,
the dam Of the Price River Irrigation
company broke, washing out a Sec
ton Of the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
road company's track. The company
is now operating only single track.
There Is constant cry for coal, but
the Denver & Rio Grande admits that
it cannot fill all orders.
All lines in Utah are contested with
traffic. The movement of freight is
necessarily slow. The railroads adj
init their inability to get sufficient
men to unload the cars. The scarcity
VI 1dfOOi 10 S<1uSu EQS most acute in
Utah's history, and no authority has
yet stepped forward to provide a So
luton to perpleGng problem.
| With a view to getting more coal
into Salt Lake City. the Public Utin-
ties Commission of Utah has ordered
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad to
take active steps to meet. the public
demand. The commission has recon-
mended that the Denver & Rio Grande
railroaa place an embargo on all ship
ments which do not originate on its
line. The commission claims that
with its present equipment the rail-
road cannot handle any other bust
ness but that springing up in it's own
territory.
| Owing to lack of cars, it is contend
ed by Utah coal producers that the
mines in the Helper district, 124 miles
from Salt Lake City, cannot be
worked to their full capacity.
| c. T. Worley of the Standard Goa
company says: I'VE are working our
mines at half capacity, and could work
them to full capacity if. the raflrods
would furnish the cars to haul the
coal away. Utah produced $500 900
tons of coal last year, and will pro
dalce 1000, 900 tons this year. We could
produce and sell 10000 tons if the
roads could handle it,
