On April there were 1850 en-
listed men; now there are more than
10000. In addition, we have en-
listed more than $4,000 reserves and
there are 10000 national naval VOL
unteers in service.
Contracts have been placed for
every destroyer and submarine chaser
that the shipyards of the country can
build, and new records are expected
in construction. All this is in addi-
ton to the 32,00O-ton battleships;
the five battle cruisers of $4,000
tons each, the largest and swiftest
war vessels ever built; the six scout
cruisers and many auxiliary craft for
which we have made contracts. These
will be built as early as possible, but
the right of way in construction is
being given to destroyers and small
craft.
Since the day war was declared the
navy has patrolled our own coasts.
For coast defense scores Of vessels
have been secured-yachts. fishing
vessels. fast motor boats, and other
minor craft, and others are being
added to this force as rapidly as pos
sible.
The navy has sent to France a
corps Of aviators. who arrived on
June 8. the first contingent Of the
regular armed forces OF the United
States to land on French soil. The
Aeronautic corps has been greatly en-
larged, aviation bases established
along the coast. and officers and men
trained in the operation OF seaplanes,
dirigible balloons, and other types Of
aircraft. An additional appropriation
of 45,0O0,O00 has been asked for
aviation.
About 100000 is involved in
the entire building program in our
navy yards. training stations, subma-
rine and aviation bases, the big stor-
age warehouses we are building for
munitions and supplies, the new
shops, foundries, shipways, the huge
drydocks, and the various structures
under way or provided for.
The Marine corps has more than
doubled in enlisted strength sin the
war began. On April there were
in the corps 426 commissioned Off
GERS and 1926 enlisted men. It
now has more than $4,000 enlisted
men, only 1919 recruits being re-
quired to bring it up to its full au-
thorlzed enlisted strength OF 10000.

Lightning Wrecks Tree

st. Johns.-Never was the terrific
force of lightning more plainly
shown than on the farm of Walter
Wilkinson, two miles northwest OF
town one day last week. A giant
oak tree was wrecked in a most pc
culiar manner. A piece about twen-
ty feet long from the butt end of the
tree, at least eighteen inches in di-
ameter and probably weighing over a
thousand pounds was hurled ten rods
from the place in which the tree had
been standing. Huge pieces of root
and splinters were scattered in every
direction over a field of several acres.
The top of the tree measuring about
fifty feet in length lay close to the
hole where the tree had originally
stood.
Mrs. Wilkinson said that the first
she was aware of an approaching
storm was when she heard a power
full crash of thunder followed by the
sound of broken glass. She found
that the large front window in the
house of Arthur Potts across the road
had been demolished, and few min
utes later, VIM. Bearndt, who lives
farther south, came and told them Of
the wreck made of the monster green
oak tree. He was in his yard when
the bolt struck the tree and saw the
top fall and the huge section hurled
across. the pasture in which the tree
stood. He was knocked from his feet
by the current of electricity in the
air, although the stricken tree was at
least 100 yards from his home.

Clues Are valueless

Alma.-In spite of the most strenu-
Gus work by the officers of this coun-
ty, assisted by detectives from
Grand Rapids, the mystery of the
death of Beatrice Epler, at Alma,
last week, is still sealed book.
Clue after clue has been followed
up by the officers, only to find that
they were valueless. Time after
time it has been thought that the
guilty party was in the tolls, yet a
close examination would show an APP
parently clear alibi.
1t is possible that the true story of
her death will never be known, yet
the officers have not as yet given up
hopes of clearing the mystery and
bringing the guilty party to justice.
The funeral, which was held last
Friday, was largely attended, many
going out of curiosity and a morbid
feeling, but the bereaved family have
the sympathy of all in their terrible
trouble.

Delve Into Food Situation.

Delve Into Food Situation.
Chicago, July 4. - Exploitation Of
war conditions to raise food prices
to consumers, sfor the benefit of the
few who are handling food products -
was reported by the federal grand
jury after an investigation of several
weeks.
The Elgin Board of Trade, where
are fixed butter prices taken as stand
ard throughout the country, received
especial attention from the grand
jury, which pointed out the board
holds only one fifteen-minute session
each week.
The report urges legislation to pro.
hibit cold storage companies from lend
ing large amounts on perishable food
products in warehouses, which, the
grand jury said, leads to speculation
and higher prices. Reports under
oath to the government on the
amounts of food in cold storage was
recommended.
