4 GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR.

Thursday, June 8.-One million
pounds of high explosives placed in
burrowed pathways beneath nine
miles of German positions, blasted
these to bits at given signal. Stimuli
taneously British infantry charged all
the way between Ypres and Armen-
there's in one of the most dashing
drives of the war. Briefly, these were
the results: The British crushed in the
head of the menacing German salient
in their front, between Wytschaete
and Messines, a distance of nearly
two miles. They captured both Wyt-
schaete and Messines, as well as half
a dozen villages and field works. They
took about 5000 prisoners. They ad-
vanced on both sides of the salient,
at one point on front of FIVE miles,
taking possession of the village OF
Uosttaverno. They captured the great
er part of Messines ridge, dominat-
ing height which had been in German
hands ever since October, 1914.
Friday, June e.-The British forces
in Belgium have consolidated their
gains of Thursday and during Friday
successfully warded off German coun-
ter attacks in the region of Costtaver-
ne and Messines.
The British losses in the attack in
Belgium were light.
Saturday, June 9.-The Germans
made efforts of the most determined
sort to reinstate themselves in the
Messines salient from which the
British drove them in Thursdays
memorable attack.
The British brought UP their artil-
lery with extraordinary promptitude
and although they had to fight the
Germans a hard battle along the six
mile front of the attack, they held
their line intact and inflicted fright
full losses upon General Won Arnim' S
troops
A reception by King George at
Buckingham Palace in the morning
and conferences at the war office in
the afternoon filled a busy day for
General Pershing.
Sunday, June 10.-The occupation
by Italian troops of the city of Janina,
in northwestern Greece, is reported in
a Reuter- dispatch from Athens. The
Greek cabinet has assembled to for
mulate protest.
A number of officers Of General
John J. Pershing's staff have arrived
at Boulogne to begin the work of or
ganizing the bases of the American
army in France.
Except for artillery fire the fight
ing about Messines and Champagne
has again died down.
Monday, June 11.-British troops
captured another mile of German
trenches southeast Of Messines, to-
gether with seven field guns and pris-
oners.
The Italians have resumed the Of
fensive. They have captured Monte
Ortigara, east of Gina Undice, and
have carried Angelic Pass.

COTTON HITS HIGHEST MARK
July and October Options in New
York Go to $125 a Bale.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-On the cotton
exchange amid excited trading, July
and October options passed the TWEEN
ty-fve cent mark and smashed all
price records since 1871.
With cotton at 25 cents a pound it
means that the staple is selling at
$125 bale, each bale containing 500
pounds During the civil war in few
extreme cases, cotton sold as high as
$3.50 a pound but that was because
the war prevented the planting of
new crop.

Submarine improvements.

Since April l German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their, destructive
ness, and render il more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them 70 remain stationary while
submerged This not only conserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines

further assistance to the submarine In
concealing its position. A mixture Of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
in the engines. and the exhaust is
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles. which do not leave a
wake. Finally new listening devices

BUMPER BEAN CROP ASSURED
Experts Agree That Final FIGURES
May Show 100000 Bushels, and
Lower Prices Are in Siuht.

There is cheering reinsurance in tha
news that this years crop Of beans
will be much more than double the av-
erage yield, says the indianapolis
News. As a rule the country produces
l000O000 bushels a year. In 1916,
however when the demand was great
or than ever before, the crop was only
100000 bushels. The shortage was
Immediately reflected in the soaring
prices. and the loWly bean, as CON
sequence, came in a new prominence.
Scarcity served as nothing else to
bring about a realization Of its value
and an appreciation Of the place 1t
occupies on the American menu.
This year, experts agree, the final
figures may show crop of 25,000,00O
bushels The consumer this winter
should find beans restored to their nor
NAL prices.
"Navy" beans they are called by
some, by others they are known as
army" beans. The New Englander
calls them merely beans. The refer
ence to them, however, as navy" or
army" beans is not without signi4
ficance. Time was when the bean was
a staple in the rations OF both the navy
and the army. 1t appeared frequently,
morning noon and night; it was served
boiled and baked and in soup. The
Civil war, ii has been said. was fought
on beans. The ration of the United
States soldier and sailor is more va
ried today, but the bean is not lack
ing. 1t is there as Of yore, better I'M
derstOOd and no less strengthening
or palatable.
How many thousands of bushels of
this years enormous bean crop the
army and navy of this country and the
armies and navies of our allies will
consume it would be difficult to say.
But the experts are of the opinion that
the crop is by no means greater than
the demands that will be made upon it.
Even so, there should be no shortage
and no eXorbitant prices. Bean eaters
everywhere will appreciate Mr.. Hooy-
ers careful consideration of the prod
uct, to the end that prices approx
mating the ante-bellum charges may
be restored.
