GERMANY IS SUSPICIOUS
 OF SWEDISH ATTITUDE

AMSTERDAM. April 11.-Germany is suspicious of Sweden, according to Count von Reventlow in the Berlin Tage-Zeitung. A decision cannot long be delayed according to the count. Sweden must either come out for the Allies or for Germany, and it is be- lieved that she cannot afford to cast her lot with the Allies. The future attitude of Sweden is of the highest importance in regard to the war and Germany awaits with keen Interest the deicsion of the Scandinavian cOun- tries.

 OPEN DORY
CORDOvA PEOPLE SUFFER MUCH
Joseph Ibach and Friends Visit Hinch- inbrook Island and Boat Goes Adrift-Attempt to Return in Open Doiy Party Is Blown Out to Sea.

After having been buffeted on the high seas for five days, during which time there was considerable anxiety four townspeople were picked up on
 Wooden island by the Admiral Farra- gut and brought safely to Cordova Saturday night, after an experience that they are not likely to soon for get.
 Joseph Ibach owns a fox ranch on Middleton island, where he and his wife spent most of their time During the latter part of March, while cruis- ing about in his launch Ferro, he vis- ited Hilchinbrook and spent couple of days with Charles Ross. who is also ranching there. MT. Ibach in tended coming to Cordova. after stop ping at Middleton island for. his wife and Miss Hancock, who was visiting them, Mir. Ross accompanied him on the trip. Upon reaching the latter isl- and they went ashore for the rest of the party. after putting the launch at anchor. Later storm came up, the launch broke loose from it's moorings and drifted out to sea. The surf was rolling ten feet high and they were all marooned on the island.
 Fortunately there was dory found and on the afternoon of April 2, when the storm subsided the party set out in this small craft for Cordova. The tide had gone out and the next day they were within ten miles of Hinch- inbrook. A northwest wind came up and carried them off to Wooded isl and, where the wind switched to the southwest. For three nights they were in the open sea and compelled to row all the time to keep from freez- ing. There were couple of sails in the dOry and these were used to keep the women folks warm. Finally they were able to reach Johnson point, where they mad gone to take sleep in the sun, when the Admiral Farra- gut, which had been asked by wire less to be on the lookout for the miss ing people, picked them up.
 While they had suffered consider ably from the cold, being at sea for one stretch of thirty hours, they were in little danger when found. as they figured on reaching Boswell bay Sun cay morning If is needless to say however, that the sight of the big steamer was most welcome. and they were glad to return to Cordova on her. MT. Ibach owned the launch Ferro, which ne had stocked with provisions and personal belongings. Nothing has been seen of it since it was carried to sea. and he has sustained loss of about $4,OOO. but is thankful that hc and his friends reached here safely. --Cordova Times.

these may be safely planted as late oa

GROW CROPS THAT
WILL KEEP.

From the beginning of the more
food campaign, the Progressive Farm
er has been emphasizing the advice
Grow non-pershable products" More
city people have gardens than ever
before, and the market for pershable
vegetables this year is likely to be
poorer rather than better than usual
But exactly the contrary is likely tn
be true of of all non-perishable pro
ducts next fall and winter Whatever
can be carried over for sale after frost
all kinds of dried beans and pea
potatoes. both sweet and Irish; can
ned goods, dried fruits, winter veg
etables, etc.,-will bring good prices.
Let's be sure to raise an abundant
variety of the perishable vegetables
for our own families and then raise
several times enough of the foods thai
can be kept in cold weather so as to
have surplus to sell next winter

TO INSURE MEN WHO co TO WAR
Administration Measure Introduced in
Both Houses OF Congress.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The admins
tratlons program for insuring SOL

before Congress today in idont:ca,
bills, introduced by Senator Simmons
and Representative Alexander. Com
mittee hearings will be he'd soon and

Authority is also proposed to compel
the men to be insured to deposit. at
4 per cent interest, with the govern
ment and at the discretion of the War
and Navy Departments, as much o.
their pay as is represented by the diff
ference between the SIS family allot-
ment and half their regular pay.
Provision is made for the payment
OF government allowance to families
OF men in the nations armed forces.
The proposed allowances vary be-
tween S. and $50 monthly.
Indemnities' for partial and total
disability would vary from $40
month for privates to 5000 for higher
officers. Education of injured men in
vocations by which they could earn
a livelihood also is provided.
Under the bill soldiers sailors and
marines could obtain life insurance
from $1,000 to $4,000 during the war.
The government would take the risk
and the men pay the premiums The
rate would be approximately IS per
$1,000 insurance. Premiums would be
payable by installments out of pay.
The cost of carrying out the pro-
gram is estimated by Secretary Nc
