Neale, of the Cincinnati Reds. has been
best known to the world of sports as
one of the National leagues neatest
outfielders, but he has acquired repu-
tation at football coaching this past
season that is likely to surpass his
baseball prominence. Neale's work as
coach of the West Virginia Wesleyan

of a place in the same class with

COCKTAILS LETTER HOT STUFF
His Reply to Denman May Force viii
son to Settle Shipping Board
Controversy.

Washington, July 1s.-The future of
the program TO overcome the German
submarine menace by creating q fleet
of American cargo vessels depends
largely upon the way Chairman Den
man of the shipping board regards q
letter sent him by Major General
Cocktails, general manager of the
emergency fleet corporation. The let
ter in reply to Denman's request for
specific information regarding GOe-
thals' announced program for the ex-
pendlture of S750,0O00O0 of the pub
lie money for ships. Denmnn's posi-
ton is that he had a right to be CON
suited in this transaction as chairman
of the shipping board. General Goe-
thals has assumed plenary powers to
90 ahead and put the ships into the
water.
The contents of the Cocktails letter
are withheld, but it is described as
"hot stuff" If Denman does not ap-
prove it, it may mean an immediate
appeal to President Wilson to settle
the controversy between the two Off
eials which has halted the ship pro-
gram.

IOWA CROP SERVICE
REVIEW OF THE WEEK BY d.
RECTOR OF WEATHER BUREAU.

For the week ending July II, 1917.
= Though the average temperature
was somewhat below the normal, yet
there was sufficient warmth and sun
shine during the. week to maintain
the rapid growth of corn. The mod
erately cool and dry weather prevail
ing since the first of the month has
been especially favorable for small
grain, which is now almost free from
rust. The straw is, however, rather
short, but the heads arGcfilling well
and promise good yieldssrn Early oats,
rye, barley and winter wheat harvest
is well advanced in southern counties
and will begin in central districts the
coming week. Haying is progressing
in all districts under satisfactory con-
ditions generally, but the crop is light
with little or no clover in the south
ern counties. Although corn made
rapid growth, it is still small for the
middle of July. However, the fields
are clean, the color is good and the
crop as a whole is very promising.

but the tubers are mostly small and
the yield is not quite up to eXpecta-
tons. A good soaking rain is need
ed for potatoes and pastures and
would benefit corn. Considerable
damage was done by hail in several
localities. especially in Washington
and northern Scott counties.
Following is the estimated crop
acreage for this year: Corn, 1922.
900 acres; oats, 5,23S,500; winter

shown by township assessors, was as

SWEEPING PROFIT
QUIZ BEGUN At
CHICAGO BY us.
Federal Trade Experts Seek Data
For Price Regulation Laws.
DAVIES SEES PACKERS FIRST
Steel Interests Are Also Subjects Of
Observation-Disclosures J. HeneY
Noted Californian "Trust Bust
err Is Directing the Work.

Chicago, July 1s.-Two inyestiga-
lions under President Wilson's flair

just been launched here by Joseph E.
Davies of the federal trade commits
sion. They were directed;
First, at the big Chicago packers,
-rho, it is charged, are responsible for
high food prices.
Second, at the steel interests, which,
II Is alleged, are impelled TO raise
or lower the price of their products
by the demand rather than by the cost
of production and distribution.
Davies was accompanied from Wash
ington by DIR. T. N. Robertson, chief
economist of the commission, who will
have direct charge of the inquiry unr
der Davies supervision. About sixty
employees of the commission will be
here in short time TO assist. Several
field agents have been on the ground
for weeks.
Heney Directing the Work.
Francis ]. Heney of California, IA
nous "trust buster" win not be here
for the preliminary investigation, but
win direct the work from Washington,
ar. Davies said.
Mr.. Davies and Doctor Robertson
opened their probe by comforting with
committee representing the Ameri-
can Live Stock association, followed
by a meeting with the big packers.
Mr.. Davies then went to Gary, Ind,
to inspect the steel mills and quiz the
steel company officials.
Separate investigations, will be
launched into the price of -four, bread,
canned goods and the cost of storage,
Davies said. Several of these may be
directed from Chicago. he added.
Coal Prices Excessive.
Mr.. Davies was confronted on his
arrival with a report from Mr.. Childs
that charges excessive coal prices, de-
spite an enormous increase in produc-
ton. Coal is TO form one of the chief
subjects of Mr.. Davies inquiry. y
Mr.. Childs' report shows that more
anthracite coal was shipped in June
than In any previous month in the his
tory of the nation. June anthracite
shipments were 7,049,037 tons, 1,412,-
062 tons more than last year at the
same time, when the production, he
says, first exceeded the consumption
The production of all coal for the
first six months of this year was 81
667 900 tons, he says, as against 3d.
421,000 tops for the same period last
year. Soft coal shipments In May are
said to have been % per cent higher
than last year.
The report declares that there have
been no reductions in prices and indi-
Gates belief that the normal play of
supply and demand has not been al
lowed to fix prices.

campaign are the following sentences:
Certainly our fronts stand unshake-

foreseen at this moment. Hope has
arisen that the end Of the war might

BIG FLEET SMASHED
SIXTEEN GERMAN VESSELS DE,
sTRoYED BY BRITISH NAVY.
Seventeen Ships Attempt TO Run the
North Sea Blockade-only
One Escapes.

London, July 1S.-7A feet of IL small
German vessels ventured forth from
Rotterdam, in an attempt to run the
British blockade. A powerful British
mosquito" ffotilla lay in wait for them
out In the North sea. This is what
happened to the Teuton ships:
Four sunk, four captured, five strand
ed, one wrecked, two fed back, badly
damaged by gunfire. total, sixteen. One
fed back and reached shore unframed
1t was the first effective blew the
British navy has dealt to the German
Notwithstanding system in three years
of warfare. 1t was made possible by
the presence in British waters of Amer
lean destroyers, which enabled the
British to detail large part of their
mosquito. craft to watch the crafty lit
tie Teuton smugglers.
The British admiralty in statement
accounted only for six of the German
ships, saying four were captured and
two driven back to the Dutch shore,
riddled by gunfire. From Ymulden
came unofficial news of thu fate of the
other blockade-runners.
The German ships paid no attention
to the STOP signals of the British de-
stroyers. They simply turned around
and started a wild race for the shore
whence they came. But the British de-
stroyers were too swift for them and
the gunfire too effective. The crews of
two of the vessels captured escaped"
the admiralty announced. While no de-
tails are given, this suggests the dra-
matte picture of fully a score of sailors,
fearing execution as pirateG jumping
overheard and swimming for their
Iives-with what result no one knows.
The illustration of the blockade rlfn-
ming expedition is a great blow TO Ger
many, coming at time when that
country is believed to be straining
every nerve to prove to Holland-and
the Scandinavian countries, the trade
with which is less peril0us, however,
that the Germans are doing their best
TO keep up and even increase the ex-
change of certain goods. Americas eX-
port restrictions have infinitely added
to the necessity of this reciprocal
agreement. For three years Holland
has been getting coal and iron from
Germany, the latter receiving in ex-
change great quantities of Dutch agri-
cultural products, mainly butter and
cheese.
