farmers will depend largely upon
straw for winters feed, and a small
amount of hay.
Wheat and -oat straw, according to
Minnesota Point truck farmers make
the best feed for horses and cattle,
while fax straw is becoming more
valuable yearly. Flax fibre paper

to the department, but the secretary
said he was willing to show the mem
#bers the briefer dispatch from which
the first announcements was made.
Admiral Gleaves' report said:
About 1915 p. m.s June %, the
first group of the expeditionary force,
of which the flagship was the leader,
encountered the enemy's submarines.
SAT the time it was extremely dark
and conditions We're ideal for a sub
marine attack.
Shorty before the attack the helm
of the flagship, had jammed, and the,
ship took a rank sheer to starboard;
the whistle was blown to indicate this
sheer. In a. few minutes the ship was
brought back to the course.
A this time the officer of the deck
and others on the bridge saw a white
streak about fifty yards ahead of the
ship, crossing from starbonrd to port
at right angles to our course. The
ship was Immediately run off ninety
degrees to starboard at full speed.
II was asleep i n the chart house at
the time. General alarm was sound
ed, torpedo crews being already at
their guns When l reached the
bridge the A and one of the transports
astern had opened fire.
"Other vessels turned to the right
and left, in accordance with i~nstruc-'
lions.
Eat first it was thought on board
the flagship that the wake was that of
a torpedo, but from subsequent re-
ports from other ships 1t was probably
the wake Of the submarine itself.
Two torpedoes passed close to the
A from port to starboard. one about
thirty yards ahead of the ship and the
other under It's stern, as the ship was
turning to the northward.
The submarine which was sighted
by the flagship was seen by the b and
passed under that ship.
1.-THE H, leading the second group,
encountered W submarines, the first
about 1850 a. M, June 26, about 100
miles off the coast of France, and the
second two hours later. The l inves-
tigated the wake of the first without
further discovery. The J sighted the
bow wave of the second at a distance
of 1900 yards and headed for it at a
speed of rs knots.
"The gun-pointers. at the forward
gun saw the periscope several times
for several seconds, but it disappeared
each time before they could get on
due to the zig-zagging Of the ship.
The ] passed about twenty-five
yards ahead of a mass of bubbles
which were coming up from the wake
end let 20 a depth charge just ahead.
Several pieces of timber, quantities of
oil. bubbles and debris came to the
surface. Nothing more was seen of
the submarine"

CHIEF
TAKES PART
IN SESSION
Action Causes Annoyance
Among Members of the
British House.

London, Aug. 2.-The fact that a
member of the cabinet, Arthur Hen
derson. minister without portfolio in
the war council, had gone on a mis-
sion to Paris with the pacifist Ramsay
Macdonald, member of parliament;
George James !Wardle, chairman OF
the labor party in the house Of COM
mons. and Russian delegates. aroused
great irritation among the members
OF parliament and seems to threaten
trouble in n government. The pur-
pose of the journey Is to confer with
French Socialists in regard to the
proposed conference Of allied Social
lists at London and the subsequent in
ternational conference at9Stockholm.
The cruz Of the matter lies in the
fact that Mr.. Henderson since he re-
turned from Petrograd reversed his
: labor party and Socialists meeting the
German representatives at Stockholm
and now advises them to rescind the
former resolution against Joining the
conference with enemy delegates. Mr..
Henderson has not publicly explained
his change OF views, but it Is known
to be the result Of his visit to Russia.
1t ts stated that the heads of the labor
party only accepted his advice, which
nevertheless seemed to have caused a
crisis in the party which is nowise
unanimous in its support Of Mr.. Hem
derson.
The government has been closely
questioned in the house Of commons
In the last few days or the subject of
Mr.. Henderson's mission to Paris and
the admission Of Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer, that it
was settled without the governments
knowledge and that the government
was ignorant Of what he was doing
in Paris has increased the general, ir-
Fritation. Lobby correspondents say
that the war cabinet, of which Mr..
Henderson is still presumably a mem
Der, although his place was taken by
George N. Barnes while he was in
Russia, is grave1y embarrassed by the
turn events have taken.
MI. Henderson's fellow members Of
the Labor party in the ministry, who
are as ignorant as the members Of the
war cabinet of Mr.. Henderson's move,
met in the house Of commons. last
evening to discuss the extraordinary
situation, but decided to await his re-
turn before acting.

its place in the sun" of history .s assured by the magnificent imper.ai
 palace with it's six hundred. rooms,
 surrounded by beautiful park, a quarter of mile sr1rn tAe Baltic Railway station Of the town. s Many Americans have risited this palace which, under the old regime. was open to visitors during ;hu ab- sence of the Dowager Empress. who
 made 1t her residence.
 ''The. erection of the, palace which dates from ITO, recalls one of the most dramatic periods in :re history of any European royal family. IL was
 built by Catherine II as present to
 Gregory orloff, the young artillery of-
 f1cer who caught the fancy of the tu-
 ture famous empress while she was still merely the consort of the salf- imbecile Peter 1II It was Grng ,~y Orloff, aided by his two brothers, who effected the sensational coup detat cf July, 17e2. in which Peter was seized and spirited away to the chateau of Ropsha, where he was eventually Inur- dered. Thus Catherine II acquired su- preme power upon the throne.
 The grateful and infatuated Cath- erine rewarded Orloff not only with the palace of Gatchina but with the title of count, commission as adic-
 tant general, then director general, and finally generaI-in- chief of the Russian forces. He might even had succeeded in marrying the great stateswoman had it not been for the intereference of Panin, the governor and tutor of Paul, Catherine's son.
 When he ascended the throne upon the death of his mother, Paul chose the Gatchina palace as his favorite resi- dence. and bestowed upon the Htown municipal rights in 1797
 The palace is three storied ,strtc- ture with one-story wings connected with the main building by long cole onnades. It contains a fomus art gallery, theatre, and three throne rooms.
 Gregory Orloff did not, bring his days to a close in Gatchina. Upon his return to the capital after an unsuc- cessful mission he found a new fav- orite installed in the Winter Palace. Subsequently he lost his mind and died in Moscow. His brother Alexis, the actual slayer of Peter III, became a horse breeder near Moscow after win ming honors in the war against the Turks. He left an immense estate, valued at 5,oo0,oO0 rubles, and 30,O00 serfso

NOT IN THAT BUSINESS.

F The judge in a Vermont court who gave two automobile thieves a sus- pended sentence, provided they would
 enlist in the navy, is due not only for reprimand from the navy officials but for an expression of their opinion
 from the parents Of sons who are al-
 ready in that branch Of the naticn's defense. It is a curious idea which some people have that the navy fs a reforfnatory. Nothing is farther from the fact and no one should understand this better than the judges of the courts.
 It is unquestionably true that the navy doess much for the young men who enIfstS therein by teaching them discipline and by curbing wild in- ciinations in some instances, but the navy is not :n institution for dealing with the criminal or the near crimi- raI class.
 This has been pointed out So many times that it Is astonishing that a judge in Vermont. or in fact in any state, would impose any such alter native in giving a suspended sentence. No one looks upon sentence to a re- formatory as anything creditable to tlle one sentenced 1t is not a pIsce where one is sent because be is in- clined to obey the laws and do what is right. Nc one would want to be sent there unless he deserved it, be- cause of the associations But a judge might s well expect that he could send the non criminal to a reforrna- tory to uplift those there as t5 send those guilty of breaking the law to fae navy for the purpose Of curing them of their tendencies. How many young men would be anxious to en- list in the navy. or the army for that natter, if it was known ito be the practice Of those departments to ac- cept as associates fer them the wrong doers of the nation? The navy might prove beneficial to auto thieves but it is not in that business

THE REDUCED SUBMARINE TOLL

Every decrease which takes place in the number Of vessels sunk by the submarines is cause for congratuIa- ton. It indicates that greater effect iveness is following the efforts put forth by. the allies to combat the men ace, Or else it means 8, slackening in the programme of Germany.
 It is to be appreciated. however, re- gard1ess of which is the real cause Of the decline. that it means the over coming of the loss of just so much shipping and that the transportation problem is being aided just that much. The handieaps which are being placed in the way of ship construction are being offset every time the subma- rine toll is cut down.
 But that fact. or the fact that the past week has shown the smallest less in ships since the ruthless war fare started, cannot be allowed in any way to slacken the efforts which are being put forth in behalf of a greater merchant marine. This country, and ifs allies. need ships as they were never needed before. France has war supplies which nave been waiting on the docks of this country for a year or more. but which it cannot get trans ported because it has not the ships and it cannot get any. Australia has grain, two or more crops, which can he, and will be. sent to the allies as soon as the necessary ships can be secured. This country likewise Is in need of more ships as fast as it can can get them. They are necessary for the domestic and foreign trader and they are needed for the proper con duct of the war. We must be thank full for every decrease in the losses but we cannot allow such to in any way interfere with our ship production.
