BREMEN REAL;
SANK At SEA
Associated Press Says Subsea
Liner Started for America,

COPENHAGEN Feb. 3 - While
Scandinavian newspapers are printing
a report that the German merchant sub
marine Bremen has not been lost but
is being used as Il supply ship in Ger
manyS blockade. information which
has been in the possession OF the Asso-
ciated Press in Berlin for months is
that the submarine actually went down
on her first voyage TO the United States.
The submarine went down in the
great storms which were prevailing in
the north Atlantic according to this
information.
The date and the circumstances Of
the departure OF the submarine for the
United States were well known in Ber-
lin at the time and there was ill-cou-
ocalcd anxiety on the part OF the OWL
crS OF the, underwater merchantmen
for news Of her arrival as the craft
became overdue at New London, Conn.
When a published report OF the arrival
OF the Bremen in Long Island sound
proved without foundation, Director
Philip llcincken 81 the company own
ing the Bremen told the Associated
Press that he regarded her as lost and
said the craft probably foundered in
the prevailing gales
1t is highly possible. however, that
cargo submarines may he cooperating

STATISTICS SHOW
ONLY ONE MAN IN Is
KILLED IN THE WAR
Marine Losses Were Only / Per Cent
While in Haiti, Officials
Claim

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. - That
the risk of the fighting mar is not
nearly so great as is popularity mag
med is the belief of Marine Corps Of
fieials here who have complied sta
tistics covering the Allied losses in the
war.
A careful estimate shows that only
n man in fifteen is killed, and one
out of five hundred loses a limb.
Recent reports from French and Brit
ish Hospitals show that about 95 per
cent recover from wounds, while 90
per cent are able to return to the fir
ing line.
While the Marine Corps officials
hold unbiased views in regard TO the
expected casualties among their own
troops in France, it is pointed out tina,
the Soldiers of the Sea" recently en-.
gagged in warfare in Haiti, suffered
less than one per cent losses. These
were sustained while covering a wide
terrain, fighting from house to house
and capturing and holding small re.
doubts, taken one by one from the
enemy. This method Of warfare is
said to be rapidly ~superseding the
trench system on the Western front.

SOUTH CUT COTTON
ACREAGE AND WILL
RAISE PLENTY CORN
Raise Enough This Year for First
Time Since Civil War, Says
J. s. Roy

r. NJ. White & Son.
EVERGREEN, Ala, August 22.-
Dear sirs and Friends: As / prom
ised some time since, viii write you
2 few lines about the South. /
haven't been busy this summer from
the fact that there is no live stock
trade here through the summer sea-
son as there is there, as they do not
feed grain or other feed the year
round as you do there, but the cattle
are now fat off the grass and the
hogs will not be ready before No
vember, as they make them principally
off Of peanuts and potatoes; just
turn them in the fields and finish
them up on corn - not much corn,
but they are blessed with a bountiful
crop Of everything this year. All
kinds Of crops are good, though the
acreage of cotton was cut at least
half 50 as 20 raise food crops in COM
pliance with the Government request
on accoont Of the war necessities,
consequently the South viii have corn
enough to do her for the first time
since the Civil War. In face, the corn
is already made and it is exceptionally
good; the seasons are more regular
here than in Missouri, not so much on
the extreme. We have about So inch
es Of rainfall per year, summers are
long, but no hotter than Missouri.
The hottest this summer was 100 on
three different days and the nights
are always cool; have not felt the
heat at all oppressive at night this
summer. Well, I guess you don't
hear much these days about the OPP
pressed farmer; If ever any people
upon earth were having an inning the
farmer is SURE having it now. You
won't have any trouble in making a
city Of 10000 for your farmers will
all get rich and move TO town. 1t Is
anybody's guess how long these condi-
tons will last Of course, but we all
want to guess and it does seem to me
as the whole thing is getting too top
heavy to last much longer. So with
my very best regards for everybody,
am, as ever, j. S. Roy.

RETAILERS MAKE TOO MUCH

CHICAGO, H., August %. A
member of the corps of food admins
traitors for Illinois yesterday called
attention to the wide difference in the
price of corn on the cob received By
the producer and that paid by the util-
mate in Chicago.
1t was pointed out that commission
men were paying 1914 cents a dozen
ears or II cents an ear, which is. about
/ cent an ear in the field.
Retail grocers sold it at 40 cents a
dozen, or 3h cents an ear.
At the leading hotels and restau.
rants the vegetable brought 30 cents
an order of one ear, while at moder-
ate-priced eating places it could be
had for 15c an ear.
