When Attacked.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-News was
received here yesterday from England
that the Atlantic transport liner Mime
haha, which had made % voyages be
tween New York and London carrying
10000 tons of munitions and supplies
on each trip, was sunk by submarine
last Friday a short distance off the
coast Of Ireland and fifty of her Off
GERS and crew were lost
The Minnehaha left here five weeks
ago, delivered her cargo safely in Lon
don and was on her way to this port
with a small quantity of general cargo
in her hold and race horse valued at
$4,000, when she was destroyed.
The Minnehaha was commanded by
Caps. Frank Claret, who is commander
in the naval reserve. She was one of
group of six steamships, escorted by
dcstroyers through the danger zone. On
all her previous voyages the Mime
haha ran the gauntlet of the U-boats
alone, except when a patrol boat picked
her up in the English channel.
Apparently the commander of the l.
boat Judged the distance of the escort
/ from the other vessels, and then took
the risk of appearing in the midst of
the merchantmen. He was successful
in firing three torpedoes, which struck
two other steamships besides the Min
nehaha
The Minnehaha was struck in the en-
n CINE room on the Starboard side, the
explosion killing several of the engine
n room force and men in the stokehole
as well as seamen on deck.
She had a crew of l40 men all told
OF the fifty who were lost, some were
drowned in getting away in the boats
Among the victims were twelve Off
GERS and engineers, including, it is said
First Officer Pierce, Purser c. 4. Wills
who was known to hundreds of Ameri
can travellers, and the ships doctor
Captain Claret was among those wht
were saved and landed in Ireland,
Nothing is known of the two steam
ships which were said to have beer
sunk at the same time as the Mime
haha.

The conditions in Italy, France and

bushels of wheat. The Wis ible surplus
in the United States and Canada is
only a little more than ha If that need
Australasia has a surplus of about
1j0,000OO0 bushels. India has a
surplus of about $4,000 900 bushels.
These sources would relic We the situa-
ton considerably, if the wheat were
available to the Allies However,
ships are not available to transport
this wheat. The amount of surplus in
Russia is not known, but any thal
might be available is exc uded from

The only source to supply the de.
flciency is Italy, France, E1ngland and
other allied countries is the United
States and Canada. To meet the de
mands for wheat, therefore,, American
farmers must increase The acreage
considerably above the 10 IT crop. If
