Firms Are Required to Report
on Stocks of Provisions.

Oll OlOChS Vi IEUNISlOTlS.
Since the Federal law requires that
all firms having commercial stocks of
foods shall make returns of what they
have on hand or in transit on August
81, the United States Department of
Agriculture. charged with carrying out
the provisions of the law, has designat-
ed certain places within each State
where the blank food survey schedules
may be obtained. These blanks are to
be filled IN duplicate, one copy to be re-
tanned by the reporting firm and the
other to be sent to the Department at
Washington. In this State the survey
blanks may be obtained at Office of
Federal Grain Supervision, 400 Garrett

later than September 10, though an
extension of time may be. granted by
the Secretary of Agriculture on spe-
cial request if good reason can be
shown.
The survey of August 81, in so far
as it concerns the supplies of is prin-
cipal foodstuffs is a preliminary one, to
be followed by more complete one
after the crops are harvested. For the
complete schedule the blanks call forre-
turns on 103 items. Blanks giving all
information have been mailed to some
$50, 900 firms, but any firm which has
not yet received these blanks should ap-

ON SCHEDULE TIME

OF what use are the elaborate precau-
tons for secrecy in the departure of
vessels from American ports If sub
marine commanders some three thous-
and miles away know precisely the day
and make their plans accordingly? The
master of the American schooner Childe
Harold, torpedoed off thesFrench coast
June q, tells story whichIshould stir
means German spies send out such in
formation. There is no lquestion as to
the means of acquiring lit. The sup
preston of announce ments IN, the news
papers is nothing to them. Only the
other day an employee of the Norddeut-
scher Lloyd was arrested upon the
charge of checking the ships as they
passed the New York Quarantine Sta
ton, near which he was living There
are hundreds of aliens who know what
ships they are through the disguise of
war paint, or can easily find out. But
bow do they communicate with Ger
many? Are there any unsupported
wireless plants on American soil? Can
messages be got through to Mexico I'M
censored?
The first question which the German
commander asked when Captain BYrne
had brought his boat alongside the sub
marine was as to the whereabouts of
two other vessels. They sailed with
you out of New York" he SAID, land
as you are here they should be some
where in the neighborhood " Search
me, - was the American s answer. Then
an officer from the submarines went
abroard the schooner and searched the
horizon until one OF the expected ships
was sighted. The rest of the story is
not unfamiliar. Captain Bryne dis
covered that the commander had been
in the merchant service and they had
many mutual acquaintance; and in his
simple seamans way concluded that
lit would be smooth sailing for US. "
Yet he and his crew were left in an
open boat. badly damaged, on a rough
sea, and they owed their lives to a
merchantmen that picked them up later.
This German brand of brutality is
mere detail in the record; what is most
significant is the foreknowledge of the
course and position of the victims.
What is the Government going to do
about it?

According to dispatch from Amster-

The human hand today is perhaps the

He Doesn't Relish . Battle When th'
Artillery Gets Active.

He Doesn't Relish . Battle When the
Artillery Gets Active.
More nearly impervious to heat than
any Of the other domestic animals, In
Guiding his own ancestry, the mule has
played a prominent part In the de-
velOpment Of our southern states. On
the sugar plantations and in the cot
ton fields he is without q peer.
His traditional endurance renders
him almost invaluable to the quarter
masters department Of armies in the
field, but the experienced artillery Off
Ger uses horses instead for handling
artillery In action.
A mule doesn't enjoy a battle. He
doesn't relish its excitement and it,
terror, that metamorphosis that cha nges
men alternately into poltroons and
demigods.
Under a sustained artillery fire a
horse becomes unusually docile. He
turns instinctively to his master as to a
creature Of higher power, and bis very
terror renders him gentle.
But the mule displays no such faith
In humankind. In the turmoil Of bat
tie he suddenly becomes arbiter Of his
own acts, and he either bolts or balks.
A mule disapproves all that he does not
understand, and 1t Is traditional that
he is not amenable to reason.-Los An
