New Jersey Mare Wins
Second $4,000 Purse
In Two Weeks
(By Associated Press,)

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 2.-Busy's
Lasste, the New Jersey mare which
won the $4,000 d. & NJ. stake at
Detroit last week, repeated her vic
tory in another $4,000 grand circuit
race, the Paper Mills stake for 2:0s
trotters, Wednesday. This time she
won In straight heats. The field in
each race was much the same.
This was the third time Walter
Cox has won the Paper Mills stake.
and the best time for the event We'd
nesday, 1908 Ia, equals the record
for the race.
Busy's Lassie, with Pittsburgh furn-
ishing most of the opposition. In the
second heat Early Dreams forced
Busys Lassie to trot the mile in
2:O6 la to win in q whipping finish.
Training to the half in the third
heat, Busy's Lassie rushed to the
front and trotted the final quarter in
20 ga seconds, shaking of ali OPP
position and winning in 2:05 IA.
Busy's Lassie was marked at odds
OF $225 to 500 in the betting.
Harvest Gale was first choice of
the bettors in the 2:12 trot for three
year-olds, but Miss Bertha Dillon
breezed by him in the stretch in
both heats.
Pop" Geers made a strong bid
for the 2:14 pace with Spy Direct.
He took the third and fourth heats
after Ben Billings, the favorite had
won the hrst two. A bad break in
the NTH heat just after passing the
quarter pole robbed sGeers of his

easily. The 2:I7 pace was the fourth

WARNS BRITISH
OF STARVATION
Lord Davenport, the Food Controller,
Calls on Nation to Reduce Con-
sumption of Bread.

London, April 26.--1'he British public
was solemnly warned yesterday by Lord
Davenport, the British food controller
that the country's shipping was being
depleted daily in large yalume and that
severe priyations menaced the nation be-
fore the next harvest was reached. Lord
Devonport's warning was issued in the
House of Lords in response to a ques-
tion by Lord Lamington as to what sue
cess has attended the efforts at volun-
tary rationing and whether the govern
ment intended to resort to compulson.
In long reply Lord Davenport re-
cited the extensive efforts being made
by the press, pulpit, and schools, and
also by local committees, to impress on
the community the urgency of food re-
strictions. He said that it might be
described as general election on a
grand scale, with the view of soliciting
the allegiance of every citizen, particu-
larly the women, to reduce their con-
sumption Of bread

WAS CLEAN HIT
SAYS CAPT. RICE
Commander of the Mongolia
Tells About Sinking
a Submarine
ARMED STEAMSHIP
GUNNERY GOOD
The Mongolia Was Steaming
Fast, but Shot Shat
tered Periscope

London, April 26.-Capt Rice of the
American steamship Mongolia, which has
arrived at British port, told the Asso
ciated Press yesterday that the Mongolia
had fired the first guns of the war foI
the United States and sunk a German
| submarine.
The submarine, Capt. Rice said, was
| about to attack the great liner, in Brit
ish waters, on April 10. He declared
there was absolutely no doubt that the
U-boat was hit and that there was every
reason to believe it was destroyed.
The naval gunners on board made a
clean hit at one thousand yards. The
periscope was seen to be shattered.
Even more pertinent fact, as regards
the ultimate fate of the submarine was
that the shell disappeared Immediately
after the hit was made. The captain
said that a she'll always ricochets in the
water and can be seen again unless it
finds the mark Oil also was seen on
the water after the submarine disap-
peared.
The Mongolia was going at full speed
and was a long distance away when the
spray and foam subsidized, but from the
bridge the officers observed the spot
through their glasses, and they are conf
dent the submarine was sunk.
The periscope was sighted dead ahead
on the last afternoon of the voyage. The
captain gave the order for full speed
ahead with the intention of ramming the
submarine.
The periscope disappeared and a few
minutes later reappeared on the ships
broadside. The gunners fired, hitting the
periscope squarely and throwing up a
mountain of water.
Capt Rice, outlining the incident, said
"For five days and nights hadn't had
my clothes off, and we kept big force
of lookouts on duty all the time 1t was
$500 o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th
that we sighted the submarine The Of
fcer commanding the gunners was with
me on the bridge when the first mate
cried: There's submarine off the port

"The submarine was close to us-t too
close, in fact. for her purposes, and she
was submerging again in order to ma.

GREAT FREIGHTER ARRIVES.
Statendam, Reported Torpedoed by Sub
marine, Reaches American Port.

New York, April 26.--The 32,l20-ton
passenger steamship built for the Hol-
land American line in England, under the
name OF 'Statendam." and taken over
by the British government in 1914, for
war purposes, reached an American port
yesterday under a White Star line name.
The arrival of this vessel refutes re-
ports received here from Berlin in March
indicating she had been torpedoed and
sunk. The German report told of the
alleged sinking of a "a ,494t ten trans
port and marine men were inclined to
believe she was the Statendam.
Designed as a modern passenger liner
for New York Rotterdam trade, the ship
was never completed as such. Where
there were intended to be magnifcently
carved and decorated stairways, saloons
and cabins, now only rough woodwork
appears. The vessel has been used as
transport for troops and supplies, but
her present service is that of freight
er.

MONEY AVAILABLE
TO HELP FARMERS
Postal Savings Banks Will Help Those
Who Are Trying to Meet the Crop
Needs of the World at the
Present Time

Washington. d. c., April ga por-
tion of the Sl25,500,000 deposited in the
postal savings banks of the United States
has been made available to help the
farmers meet the war food crisis.
The trustees of the postal savings
bank system have adopted a resolution
making farm loan bonds issued under
the federal farm loan act, acceptable at
par TO secure postal savings deposits.
United States government, Philippine is
lands, Porto Rico and District of Column
bia bonds are the only other bonds which
enjoy this privilege.
! The federal farm loan board is in re-
I ceipt of many reports from all parts of
/ the nation indicating that the farmer is
making desperate efforts to respond to
/ the nations appeal to increase food pro-
| duction, but that he is greatly handi-
capped by the shortage of labor and the
high price of seed. He needs more cap
ital with which to purchase seed and he
needs additional capital to provide him
self with labor saving machinery to over
come the labor shortage. A telegram re-
ceiyed by the farm loan bureau says
that in single county in Montana $780,
900 acres of spring wheat will be seeded
if the capital for the purchase of the
necessary seed can be supplied.
The federal farm loan act was adopted
"to provide capital for agricultural de- !
velopment" Applications for loans have |
already been received which indicate that |
the farmers will require more than $780, |
100000 of capital through this agency |
this year Only per cent will be |
charged for this money where, previous
ly, rates of from SO to Is per cent have
been charged.
Within short time the first issue Of |
the farm loan bonds will be fioated to
provide this capital which will be loaned
to the farmers. These bonds win be
sold to investors and will bear Az per
cent interest. These bonds are "instru-
mentalities of the government" and as
such will be exempt from all form of
taxation; they will be engraved bv the
United States bureau of engraving and
printing and protected by the United
States secret service and will be issued
in denominations Of SIS and upward so
as to appeal alike to small and large in
vestors. ready market for these bonds
means more capital Immediately avail
able to enable the farmer TO meet the
present emergency.
The Importance Of rendering the farm
er assistance by providing additional cap
ital il emphasized in the following ap-
peal of President Wilson recently ad-
dressed 20 the National Agricultural So
ciety in conventions:
AT the present moment il is our plain
duty to take adequate steps that not
only our own people be fed but that we
nav, If possible, answer the call for food
1f other nations now at war.
