London, July 14.-The announce

has discovered a submarine base on
Tory island, off the coast of ireland,
throws a flood of light on recent u
boat activities in British waters.
Tory island, nine miles long, lies
about twelve miles west of the coast
of County Donegal, convenient to
the track of ships approaching or
leaving the British coast. Six men
who were found to be ringleaders in
supplying the U-boats were shot,
while quantities of fuel oil and pro-
visions were confscated. 1t was also
ascertained that the same persons
were furnishing reports of the move
ments of shipping to the U-boat
commanders. Many men and women
were concerned in aiding the Ger

boats were American submarines.

who had proposed raising a company
among his foster brethren of the Da-
kota nation on the Standing Rock
reservation, was so advised by Cato
Sells. Indian commissioner, today.
Captain Welch took the matter up
with Commissioner Sells, who re-
ferred it to Secretary Baker. The
latter says: Indians may enlist and
do enlist in various regimental or
ganizations of the army, where they
have performed very good service,
and some have attained non-com-
missioned grades. The plan of using
Indian organizations in the army is
not new one. and was given thor

Important Discovery Is

Chemical Laboratories
WILL REDUCE COST
TO ONE QUARTER
Cause of Germany's Fat
Shortage Will Not Be
Felt Here
(By Associated Press.)

washington, July 14.-Discovery
in the internal revenue division
laboratory of a process for manufac-
turing glycerine from sugar was
announced today by the treasury de-
partment.
Under the secret process evolved.
the cost of this substance, a heavy
factor in the manufacture of explos-
ives, will be reduced to slightly more
than one-fourth OF its present cost.
Glycerine is at present manufac-
tured almost entirely from fats at a
cost of 30 cents a pound which is six
times its cost Of production before
the war. Extraction Of the product
from sugar will insure production,
officials estimate, at 25 cents a pound
or less.
The immense Importance of the
discovery in conserving the fat sup
ply Of the nation is pointed out by
officials who declare that German
fat shortage is largely due to the use
of fats for production of explosives.
Germany has long since been forced
TO discontinue the manufacture Of
soap in order to conserve the fats
for munition making.
The discovery is the first to be an
nounced by chemists working in CO.
operation with the council Of nation
al defense.

by United States District Attorney
Clay Allen. The men will be in
termed Mr.. Allen said.
Investigation by government agents
said the district attorney showed a
large percentage of the Industrial
Workers to be alien Germans. Mr..
Allen continued:
Attorney General Gregory at my
request authorizes the internment
of all German enemies who affiliated
with or have taken part in any
movement or plan seeking to bring
about industrial or agricultural or
ganization.
my conception of the rule is that
this will apply and reach any alien
enemy who establishes a record Of
unreliability either in residence or
employment It is apparent that
this is not the time for ]. w. w. and
their kind to be shifting around from
place to place. They must seek en-
ployment and keep it If they remain
out OF Jail or an internment camp.
The very fact that they are unreli-
able Is circumstance sufflctently
serious at this time to warrant the
attention Of government officers"

ing camps being taught to throw
hand grenades (aboVe) and also
the newest bayonet thrusts.
The men in the different officers
reserve corps camps in the United
States are being drilled regularly in
modern war tactics. Included are
the arts of hand grenade throwing
and the new method of bayonet
charging.
The old bayonet charge formerly
used by the United States army has
been discarded and the new motion,
somewhat evolved from the English
way, is being taught the men in
camp. 1t permits of more force in
the charge with less exertion and
also makes it easier to side-step an
enemy bayonet thrust.
Hand grenade throwing Is some
thing new in the curriculum of camp
instruction. American men are per-
haps better adapted for this work
than any other nationality. With
baseball pitching, requiring the
throwing Of a baseball with great
speed, the arms Of the men have been
developed highly and they are un-
usually good at the art.
