THE HAGUE, August 10 - Under
The title 'Americanism' Doctor Jen-
ny publishes in the Pan!German Tag
Iische Rundschau another violently sar,
castle artile about "American bluster
and bluff He says:
" Americans think in exaggerations
and talk in superlRtives, Even Ambas-
sador Andrew White drops into super
atives, over almost every incident in
his memoirs, describing a comparative
y unimportant incident as the most
emafkable experience of his life and
asserting that some very average per-
son made the deepest impression ON
him ever conveyed by a human being.

planes came down first TO 20y000,iand
then to some 5000, which the Ameri-
ans hope to have ready by next sum
mer if they can obtain suitable model
for fighting planes in time.
AS for her armada of ships to con-
vey troops across the Atlantic, Amer
lea has not yet decided, six months
after the declaration Of war, whether
she will build them Of wood or steel.
Thus not one single keel of that armh-
ia has yet been laid.
''It comes out that at this time,
when with much difficulty some small

YUNMARU HERE TO

OEJAPANESEFOODS
Native Products Arrive In Guam
titles TO Appease Nipponese
f.. Appetites In Islands

For the relief of the Japanese in the
Islands who are facing a shortage of
native fopdstuffs, the Togo Kisen
Kaisha freighter Yuki Maru arrived at
seven.thirty yesterday morning, twenty
days from Kobe. She sailed from Yoke
hama August 2 and from Kobe August
s. Her food shipment measured 463O.1g
tons, Her average speed was eight
miles an hour from Kobe. With the
exception Of head winds, the weather
was ideal on the entire voyage. The
Yuki Mhru viii not proceed to San
Francisco, but will return to Yokohama
with scrap tin. II was originally in.
tended that she carry scrap iron on the
return voyage, but owing to the latest
export order on this product, she will
return without IL. Before iron can be
exported q special license must be OBJ
tanned from Washington, and this can
be had only upon . sworn statement
that il will be used in the manufacture
of war materials. She will take about
$50 tons Of bunker coal here.
II is hoped by her agents, Castle &
Cooke, that che will be ready to sail
Friday noon. Double shifts will be
worked In an cndeavor to discharge and
load her by that time. .a
Shortage Of Japanese Food
Owing to an extraordinary scarcity Of
available bottoms in the Pacific, many
Japanese ia these islands and the
United States have begun to feel a
pinch in their stock Of foodstuffs, which
has rapidly decreased since early in the
year. Notwithstanding several appli-
cations to shipping firms of Japan for
more cargo space for the transportation
of food, bottoms are not forthcoming,
rs the freight rates on food are so cheap
that shipping firms refrain from carry.
ing these Iess lucrative commodities. 1t
Is said in Japan that the Toyo Risen
Kaisha, sympathizing with the Japan
ese hungry for meal from home, has
despatched the Yuki Maru that the Jap.
anese appetites in Hawaii might be APP
peased. Her cargo consists of rice,
salt, beans, soy, misc, wine, sake, and
other foodstuifs of various kinds. She
also has a shipment of Japanese books.

Inquiry-"How would you fertilize

In growing cotton under boil weevil
conditions. several factors must be
given consideration. The land should
be well drained and well supplied with
vegetable matter. Good seed Of a va

bs chosen. and. OF course. a variety
that will mature its fruit quickly and
resist wilt should be planted. Fer
tilixe literally, and properly cultivate.
On the heavier soils. such as the red
clays and clay loans, the use of a fer
tiltser carrying 10 pei, cent to IL per
cent phosphoric acid, orto 4 per cent
nitrogen and q small per cent of pot
ash, IL 1t can be had, should be used.
Apply at the rate of $50 to 400 pounds
