BULLY ACT BY CAPTAIN
ORIGIN OF MUTINN

AMSTERDAM, oct 13.-The first
evidence of the recent mutiny in the
German fleet was an act Of insubor-
dination aboard a battleship whose
captain was notorious as a bully, ac-
cording to information received here
by the Associated Press. A sick
sailor, refusing to obey the orders
Of his superior officer, was brought
before the captain who placed him
under arrest. On the following day
a deputation of sailors demanded the
release of the delinquent, who was
an elderly reservist. When the cap
tain asked the meaning of this depu-
tation, he received the answer that
the sailors had formed a council on
the Russian model and this led TO an
Investigation which resulted in ar
rests and the seizure of pamphlets.

PPM TOWNSHIP FARMERS


A well known Penn township
farmer informed The News
FINES Friday night that pota-
toes were going 20 be as high
as last summer, by the early days
OF the new year. He was speak
ing for himself and the other
farmers OF the township Of
course. He had heard Of Mr..
Hoover. ne said. but didn't take
much interest in his work The
farmers have 10 live, and he
sprung the old and time-wOrn
statement that the crops had
been ruined by unpropitious
Weather conditions.
He tipped of the writer with
this advice: BUY your winters
supply now. You can get them
for about S1.25 wholesale. II you
wait until early spring they'll
cost you between five and six
dollarsl"
AS a matter Of fact the pota-
70 crop has seldom been as good
in Penn township as this year
The increase over that Of last
summer is enormous. and the
supply now in the hands OF the
farmers IS greater than in any
previous season during the past
10 years. This is from a farmer
who has bought a Liberty bond.
the only one so far recorded az
having been sold 20 a tiller OF
the soil IN the township. II was
stated in a newspaper Friday
afternoon that on the road be-
tween Mishawaka and Bremen,
o. distance Of 20 miles. not one
farmer owns a Liberty bond.
That was a mistake. The farmer
above referred 10 Is the excep-
ton.
VIII Pay Lodge Dues.
When asked why the farmers
did not subscribe TO the Liberty
bond issue. one Of them answered
The News-Times by saying that
the Ancient Order OF Cleaners,
TO which all the prominent farm
ers OF the township belonged,
were going TO do something bet
ter. They were going 20 pay the
annual lodge dues OF its mem
bers who were called to service
during their absence at the
'front.'
There is a demand being made
by the citizens OF Mishawaka
that Mr.. Hoover send one of his
representatives to Penn town
ship 10 investigate the matter Of
conservation" by the farmers
Of this community. II is prOmis-
ed that some interesting data will
be obtainable and that sOmebody
will be made 10 suffer the penalty
attached 20 boarding food sup
plies in war times While farm
ers in other parts Of the country
are being blamed for their lack
Of patriotism. and threatened
