BRIG. GEN M. p. MAUs

Out of the wealth of his expert
ence, Brigadier General marion P.
Maus will give to his country, now
that all the brains are needed so
that victory may be properly organ
lied. 1t is not unlikely that Gen.
Maus will be called back into active
service, for despite the fact that he
was retired in May 1915, having
reached the age limit, there are a
great many things that a man of his
calibre can do for the advancement
of Uncle Sans military fortunes.
Gen. Maus was born in Montgom-
cry County, Maryland, August rs,
1850. He is graduate of West
Point of the class of 1874, and is
also a medal of honor man. In his
early career he saw many years OF
service in campaigns against hostile
Indians. He was in action against
the Soiux in the Black Hills, with the
Nez Perces at Bear Paw Mountains
in Montana, and with the Apaches in
Arizona and Mexico. Gen. Maus ac-
companied Gen Miles to observe the
Greco-Turkish war, and in 1897 he
was one of the representatives of the
United States government at the
Queens Jubilee in England. During
the war with Spain he was an inspec-
tor general of volunteers and was
with. Gen. Miles at Santiago during
the conferences that resulted in the
surrender of the Spanish forces. La
ter he accompanied the expedition to
Porto Rico. At the time of his re-
tirement he was in command of the
First Brigade of the First Diyisio.-
of the army with headquarters at
Albany. N. Y.

KAISER WILL PAY
| FOR THOSE EGGS

Germany will have a lot or bills to
pay when the war is over and one OF
the most important of them Is a biz
for a basket of fish and eggs. There
is today "at an English port" as tns
fisherman who is mighty anxiors for
the war to come to an end. he is a
poor man and therefore the bill he
holds agains the Kaiser is all the
more important to him. This cerifi-
cate of Indebtedness will be handed
to the German emperor personally.
If the fisherman has his way. It so
happened that one peaceful after
noon in the early days of the war,
while alone in his boat, within rifle
shot OF the harbor, submarine sud
denly emerged alongside. Before the
man had time to fall overheard from
fright an Officer stuck his head out
of the coming tower and in perfect
English asked IL he could have some
fish. Sure" said the excited fisher
man as he turned over a basketful.
''Can you get US some eggs 2" asked
the German. Sure said the man
in the boat, and promptly pulled for.
the shore. disappeared into his hut
and reappeared with several dozen
eggs, which he brought out to the
hungry submarine crew. Then. in
stead of offering to pay the crew
said '"Thanks'' and, closing down the
batch disappeared from view. The
fisherman explains that he thought
they were English. otherwise he
would not have supplied them.

National Forests Will
Increase Meat Supply

Washington, Aug. 25.-As a war
emergency measure the National
Forest ranges are carrying this sum-
mer approximately 100000 more cat
tie and 100000 more sheep than in
ordinary years, according to the graz
ing experts of the Forest Service. Orr
dinarily the National Forests furnish
pasturage for about ], 800, 900 cattle
and horses and 1900, 900 head OF
sheep. RS
The mum ber< Of livestock permitted
on the Forests is limited in order to
prevent damage to timber growth, wa
ter supplies, and the range itself.
This year exceptional weather condi-
tions combined with the general food
situation to create an unusual emer-
gency, calling for special provisions
to take care of the stock. IA severe
winter and late spring exhausted the
hay supply and forced use of the
spring ranges before they had reached
their normal state. To lessen the
losses which the western livestock in
dustry faced, the National Forest
ranges were opened early. At the
same time, the number of stock per-
nitted for the present season was
raised to the maximum consistent
with safeguarding future productive
ness.
It is fully recognized that the in
creases which have been made in the
allowances of stock on the National
Forests involve danger that the range
will be depleted through overgrazing
but It is believed by the grazing ex-
perts of the Government that the ena-
Urgency increases made can be taken
care of, at least this year, without ma
teriaI sacrifice of productive capacity
| The condition of the ranges is, how
ever, being carefully watched. Re-
lance is placed also on the special
efforts being made to secure the most
| intensive utilization consistent with
| productiveness. by improved methods
| of handling the stock. Better sailing
methods and the development of new
| Watering places are among the means
employed for this purpose p
At the close of the grazing season
| a careful examination will be made of
! the range on each Forest to deter
mine its condition and to find out
how many cattle or sheep it will sup
| bort next season. On areas which are
found, to be overgrazed, an attempt
will be made to shift the surplus stock
! to ranges which can stand the strain
better.
While the grazing officials do not
| think that the increase could be car
ried indefinitely without serious dam
| age to the forage. regulated grazing
! has brought about steady improve
| ment of the range and some areas
will probably be able to support the
larger numbers permanently

Connecticut Women
Sign Hoover Pledge

To The Women of Connecticut:
Many women of Connecticut have
signed a Hoover Pledge Card but there
are yet hundreds who have not done
so. am very sure if women only
realized what a. help this win be to
the Food Conservation COMMITTEES
the Committee of Food Supply Of the
State Council of Defense and the Con-
necticut Agricultural College,. they
would gladly sign at once.
Let me say first. there is no string
of any kind tied to the pledge. You
need have no fear that this will be
FOLLOWED by an attempt to dictate the
management. of your household. The
Food administration wish to have
some definite response 'front.' the wo-
men are behind the Federal Depart
ment.
All women who are true Americans
are behind the Food Conservation
movement as they are. behind all
just and sane movements. They have
demonstrated this by work which they
have done in the Red Cross, Liberty
Loan and other War Relief move
ments.
The women's Committee, Food
Supply Committee and the Connec-
ticut Agricultural College are plan-
ming bulletins, leaflets, demonstra-
tons, etc, and reports received from
those who have distributed and sign
ed these pledges will greatly aid in
this work.
We would like to make a special
appeal to the women to sign and mail
these cards by Sept. LIST.
Some have signed a similar pledge
issued by other organizations but thai
does not take the place of this pledge
and we would like your signature fol-
the Hoover Pledge also.
May we have your cooperation? :

From somewhere just behind him,
from the surface of the water, there
had broken out suddenly series OF
sharp, rapid reports.
Henshaw was struggling round
awkwardly in the water to see
whence this fire had come, when his
attention was diverted to the airship
above. Something was wrong with
her. Her bow had tilted down; and
the outline of her hull on one side,
as he saw it against the sky seemed
dented in and broken. And still
there came the crack-crack of the
gun from the surface of the water.
Now the airship's motors, waking
suddenly to life, filled the air with
their din. Flashes of gun-fire came
searchlight swinging a little reveal
ed something Aon the water which
Henshaw saw for the first time with
gratitude in his heart.
1t was the long, slim shape of a
submarine, bearing down directly on
him, and firing rapidly with her gun
at the airship above.
Henshaw began to shout again. He
felt suddenly full of life and energy.
! But his voice. was drowned in the
tumult. The airships engines were

firing. But she was obviously dam
aged. Her bow was still down and
i apparently would not come up and
she swung off awkwardly under the
thrust of her propellors.
Those on the submarine had evil

He was beginning to shout, scarce
ly knowing what he did, when he
was conscious Of vivid flash of
light on the water a little to his left;
then there sounded a thunderous
roar, like the crash Of a mighty gun.
Concurrent with this, and almost
before the sound reached him, came
a fierce drive Of spray in his face,
followed by the sudden pouring on
him Of solid wall Of water which
swept him life q leaff rom his hold
on his machine. and hurled him
breathiess amid turbulent and foam

OF the glare Of q searchlight shining
directly in his eyes. The shock clear
ed his mind for an instant, and, look
ing up, he saw the vast shape of the
airship above him. She was hover

mighty hull seemed to blot out the
sky. Her motors had been stopped
and she floated motionless
