New York, Feb. 22.-Reports that
the big White Star Line steamship Gel
tic had hit a mine February IA and was
towed back into Liverpool in a damaged
condition, were brought here today by
passengers on the American Line steam
ship Philadelphia, also from that port.
The Philadelphia. the passengers said,
sailed about 30 minutes after the Celtic
and the British steamship Canada, a
troop ship. Wireless calls from the
Celtic asking for aid are said to have
been picked up by the radio operators
on the American liner, which, however,
did not respond, as the Canada was al
ready reported to have reached her.
The Canada. it was said, toWed the Gel
tic back to Liverpool.
An effort was made to keep the re-
port secret in fear of alarming the
Philadelphia passengers, but it leaked
out after the danger zone had been
passed. The Celtic was not supposed
to be carrying passengers on this trip.
Officers of the Philadelphia declined
to discuss the report today, under plea
of neutrality restrictions forbidding
them to talk. 1t was said here by Off
Gals of the White Star line, that no
word had been received of the accident.
The Celtic is a vessel of 20.904 tons and
was last reported as having arrived in
Liverpool on an unnamed date after
leaving here on January 81.

OUT REPORT.

Huron, May 5.-Report of weather
and crop conditions in South Dakota
for the week ending May 1. 1917:
The temperature during the past
week averaged far below normal, and
the precipitation was considerably in
excess of the normal. Sunshine was
decidedly deficient. Farm work was
greatly retarded by rain and wet
ground. There was some planting of
spring wheat, barley and oats, and
i'm a few localities as far north as the
northern tier of counties this work
was well advanced. termination
and growth of spring seeding is very
slow. Winter wheat. rye, alfalfa.
meadows and pastures also are grow
ing very slowly. There has been
some blowing for corn and some
planting of potatoes during the week
but this work has progressed slowly.
Stock has suffered greatly from the
cold weather with snow and cold
rain, and il is feared that some loss
will result.
