OF Rotterdam at five thirty in the

According to Duprec the captain Of
the tanker asked for a tow and he was
told that an English cruiser would be
along In the morning. The next day
the cruiser came along but paid no
attention 10 the men, Il being a rule
OF the British admiralty not TO pick
up life boats. After floundering In
the rough sea with no rations but a
few biscuits and very little water the
men finally landed az st. Nazares,
France.

that the saving, absolutely needed, can be brought
about.
A wider knowledge Of the facts in regard to bread
making, bread keeping, and bread as an article OF diet
would bring about the complete use of every particle
OF bread brought into the home. l hope we may be edu-
Gated during the early period of the war TO the full
necessity OF home care and home saving in this vital
matter.
The world supply Of wheat is short and we shall
have a great difficulty in transporting any surplus that
may exist in any part of the world to the spot where
II is most needed. Above all, America can feed Eu-
rope, and Il must do so in spite of the submarine men
ace. We shall have some surplus even though we con-
tinue our former habits of the free use and often the
waste OF wheat and wheat products, but we must have
a large surplus and this large surplus we can acquire
only by rigid economy in the use of wheat.

On account OF the continued increase in prices
which we are paying for Shelf Hardware and the
short terms which the wholesale houses allow us
to make payments, we will, beginning November the
first, sell for cash only, Shelf Hardware, Paints, Oils, etc.
By cutting down our expense of collecting and
selling it will enable us to make a reduction in our
present p~rices.of 10 per cent which goes into the
pockets of our customers.
Our Farm Implements, Machinery, Automobiles,

WOULD SPEND BILLION
FOR AEROPLANE SERVICE

Washington, June 21.-A billion dol
lars probably would be required to put
1000 American airplanes and 10000
to 10000 aviators in the war. Allan r.
Hawley, president of the Aero Club of
America. today told subcommittee of
the house military affairs committee
He declared $4,000 aviators could do
more toward ending the war than l.
900. 900 additional soldiers. He en-
dorsed the bill to establish a separate
department for airplanes.
approximately 100000 airplanes
when peace is restored could be uti-
lized for commercial purposes, he said.
A French government commission now
is making plans for such use.

of trans tlantic air lines was at hand
we are now manufacturing ali
cruisers capable of crossing the Allan
tic and have both the pilots and in
struments needed for plotting them.

U-BOAT CAMP A|GN
WILL FORCE GREAT
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
That is View Expressed by a
German Writer on Ma
val Problems.

Copenhagen, June 21.-The steady
of the submarine cam
paign will, in the opinion of Captain
Kuehlwetter. the naval expert of the
Berlin Lokal Anzeiger. ultimately force
general naval battle between the
British and German fleets as the only
means of ending the submarine mem
ace. Captain Kuehlwetter blames the
good weather for the falling off in
number of submarine victims. He
argues that the weather permits small
submarine chasers to venture further
to sea, to shoot better and to detect
periscopes easier.
In this argument the critic is quite
impartial. as he equally blames storms
for the failure to secure better results
in March. The other we'll schooled
naval writer's generally follow the ad-
miralty instructions to treat the May
results as practically as satisfactory
as those of April and to describe tn,
entente counter measures as a com.
plete failure. They all accept tn,
estimate of the Wolf bureau, the Off,
cial news agency, that new tonnage Il
