 The statement of the British ads miralty shows the losses for the week have been cut considerably more than half as regards tho number of British vessels sunk, last weeks report show. ing sixty-two vessels. . compared with. twenty-six in the current statement.
 Tn large vessels the decrease was from twenty-four to eighteen. Tha most marked drop, however. was Tn the number of smaller vessels des stroyed.

 The high-waterv mark in the de- struction of large vessels was reached in the report of April 26, when forty such vessels were announced as de- stroyed.

The official French statement that in three months not a single armed French merchantmen has been sunk by submarine Is the best argument made for providing peaceful ships or commerce with adequate means of de- fense.

JENNINGS CALVARY
FIRST CONTICENT
TO LEAVE FOR
FRANCE
Troop Leaves Today For En-
campment I'm Long Island

IMPORTANT CHANGE
MsDRAFT CALL
Only 5 Percent Called in The
First Batch 10 Go Sept. 5.
O-O--O

Washington. Aug. 25.--At the
direct suggestion of President Will
son, Provost Marshal General Crow
der telegraphed tonight supple
mental explanation of regulations
governing the status Of married
men under the selectiye service law.
No change in regulation is made, and
the purpose Of the new statement is
to clear up misunderstanding which
have arisen in what General Crow
der describes as - a few instances
In a letter to SECRETARY Baker,
quoted by General Crowder, Presi-
dent Wilson states his opinion that
the regulation directing local boards
''to establish the fact of dependents
in addition to the fac. of marriage
ought not to be abrogated.' This
leaves the regulations as they are
and the supplementary statement is
designed merely to make the applica-
ton of the rules uniform among all
boards
While the statement regarding
married men was in preparation or
ders were issued changing entirely
mobilization arrangements previous
ly made. Congestion Of rail traffic
and for the reception of the men at
the cantonments dictated the
changes. ....t ~ .. @..
Under the new orders per cent
of the white men, from those with
military experience, from each local
area, will be starred forward to the
camps September s, instead Of 80
per cent. They will go in five daily
detachments Of equal size and form
skeleton company organizations and
set up a going concern into which
the remainder Of the total quota can
be absorbed without confusion a.
they reach the cantonments.
The next forty per cent will go
forward &eptember 10, when the
second Thirty per cent originally was
scheduled to go; a second 40 per
cert will 60 forward October in
stead of the third 80 per cent, and
the remaining As per cent will be
called up as soon theresfter as prac-
ticable. %E:' .'' +
Well, etwhole world will read

the newspapers will be edited from
Berlin. Then bet you we show

"TARZAN OF THE APES"

The National Film Corporation
of America, which for the past three
weeks has been filming scenes in the
vicinity of Wax Lake and Avoca Is
land, near Morgan City, is now bus
lily engaged in the initial stages of
production of its startling ten-reel
photodrama, "Tarzan of the Apes"
which is destined to attract a great
deal of attention on account of its
unusual theme. The film play will be
perturbation of the book of the
same title by Edgar Rice Burroughs,
which was long rated as a "best
seller" and offers an exceptional op-
portunity for out-of-the-ordinary
settings and treatment, with story
SO weird in its conception that the
possibilities in development are un-
limited. The tale deals with the life
and adventure of a young boy cap
tured by apes, and his existence as
one Of them during his growth to
manhood. .,..
Gordon Griffith, the famous juve-
nile star. and probably more widely
known than any other film player of
his age has been engaged for the
part of Tarzan in his younger life,
while the same role in later years
will be in the hands of Stellan S.
Windrow, perfect specimen of man
hood, standing six feet two inches in
height, and weighing two hundred
pounds. Mr.. Windrow is perfectly
fitted by Nature for the part of Tar
zan, and has played with success in
such stage playsaas Joseph and His
Brethren" and "Quo Vadis."
Vern Elliott, well known musician
and composer, has been engaged to
prepare score for the production.

IGNORANT UNCLE SAM CAN'T
READ GERMAN
q The enemy Alien Talks to
Robert ]. Wildback
... of the Vi0ilantes

q suppose that he thinks that he has
my sympathy aroused for Germany
and that because listen, must
agree, My job, when meet him, is
to encourage garrulity, exercise self.
control, and report. He is an unin-
territorial stool-pigeon.)
Well, l suppose the fools in this
country, they think that Germany is
locked up with armies all around and
we have to fight inside the circle
and can't get out Let 'em think it..
It's good thing for us they should
be so fast asleep.
Br,t just the same you know and l
know that Germany is fighting The
war all over the world-right here
in this country the war is-and
nobody knows it, the way they act.
Look here at the silly way to
carry on a war. Do you suppose that
in Germany anybody could publish a
newspaper where it says that the al
lies of Germany are bad and that the
enemy is really the friend? So crazy
it is in this country every day. All
over the United States the German
language newspapers are knocking
England and never a word against
Germany. Really they are boosting
Germany in many ways, besides,
their readers already are German in
sentiment and every word against
England is stab in the back of this
country's allies. It is fine for US,
you bet, but what l can't understand
is how they got away with is so easy.
guess Uncle Sam can't read Ger
man, he is ignorant. Honest, l bet
ter say DUNN!
Yes, DUNN, because he can read
English and he does nothing with
the Irish papers here. They just as
strong for Germany as any German
paper in this country-and they are
printed in English.
Well, that's all part of the job
our job-and it's a lot better than
blowing up factories and railroads
and such things Germany is smart,
the smartest in the world, and every
body that reads a German-language
paper knows it and they know that
fighting a war is not just guns and
ammunition and submarines and air
ships. We got other things too. We
got secret service but we don't
need it. Nothing is secret in this
DUNN country. We say what We
please in our newspapers, here, in
German and English. We have the
Irish editors, the Pacifists, and these
now l. w. W.'s to help US. ! We do
what we please "a hours q day fight
ing Uncle Sam right in his home
while he is doing little or nothing
very hard to fight US 1000 miles
away.
