Crop Forecast Is for Big Excess, Food
Control Says.
New York, Oct. 19.-The govern.
ment forecast of the first war crop OF
potatoes is 452,000,00O bushels, an in.
crease of 100,O00,000 bushels over last
year, according to an announcement
: by L. D. Sweet, head of the potato di
vision of the United States food ad
ministration.
eve are now faced with the prob.
lem of utilizing this 100,000,000 excess
to the greater advantage of the farm
ers who have grown them and the
public which will get Them" said Mr.
Sweet.
Everybody can do something to
bring this about. Hotels and restau
rants are in particularly favorable
position to help, now that meatless
and wheatless days are at hand, by
showing potatoes prominently to the
'front.'"
The government, Mr.. Sweet said
looked forward eagerly to an increase
in the potato crop because it was only
through such a happy result that the
shipment of meat and wheat to the
entente allies could be accelerated.

London, Oct. 20.-In all about 20
Russian warships of various classes
are apparently bottled up in Moon
sound with a strong, Gordon of Ger
man war craft barring their egress
northward into the Gulf of Finland or
to the south into the Gulf of Riga.
'Outclassed by. superior gun range
and heavier tonn age, the Russians
gave battle to the Germans and at
tempted to force back the enemy ar
mazda off Oesel island. -. .-
Battleship Siava Sunk.
Standing far outside the shell IONS
of the Russians, however, the gun@ of
the German dreadnaughts sank the
battleship Slava-a relic of the days
before the Russo-Japanese war-and so
badly damaged other units that the
Russian fotilla was forced to seek ref
uge in Moon sound, between Moon
island and the Esthonia coast.
The Germans, according to latest
German official communication, imme-
diately began intensive operations
against Moon island, the Russians TAX
ing refuge inside Moon sound. The
Germans then threw warships to the
eastern part of Kassar bay, lying to
the north of Moon island, barring exit
from the northern entrance to Moon
island, apparently closing the passage
to the south in the Gulf of Riga.
German Dreadnaughts in Action.
Already the Germans have attempt
ed to attack from the north into Moon
sound, but,the Russian guns have held
them back successfully. Among the
German warships attacking the old
line vessels of the Russian fleet were
at least two dreadnaughts of the Gros-
ser Kurfuerst type-vessels displacing
q, 900 tons-as against 1850 tons for
the Slava. A majority of the crew
Of the Slava was saved by Russian
torpedo boats when the vessel took it's
final plunge.
Teuton Sailors in New Mutiny.
With this advantage of the German
naval forces over the Russians, how.
ever, comes news of fresh disaffection
i'm the German fleet and also of a mu
tiny in the Austrian fleet in the Adri
attic and of bitter feeling between Ger
| man and Austrian seamen in the Ad

reported to have refused to go aboard

Tom Moore called on Campbell one
evening, and in the course Of CONVEX
sation Campbell mentioned a poem he
had just composed and the manuscript
Of which he showed to Moore. It was
entitled "The Battle Of Hohenlinden,"
the last line Of the first verse Of which
read:
''Of Iser rolling rapidly"
When Moore was departing he
slipped on the stairs, which caused
Campbell to ask:
whats that? What's that?"

piled Moore.

The young man nodded assent, but
although the shell looked well enough

that egg would not have done credit
