Must Have sunk at Once.

Apparently the Jones went down
ALMOST at once. This was taken to
mean that the torpedo had scored d
fair hit amidships, possibly tearing
the swift craft in two when it ex-
ploded. If this is true, there can be
no question that many of the crew
died in the blast of the explosion or
were carried down with the shattered
hull without a chance to escape.
Officers here felt that such q fate was
preferable to hours of exposure and
final death from colt on HE RATS.

NEW ARMY WILL HAVE SUPPLIES
 BY SEPT. FIRST
War Department Claims Equipment Will Be
 Ready for One
 Million Men,.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Clothing and camp equipment for the first million men, of the new armies will be delivered by September l, the tentative date of the mobilization of the first increment of the National Army. A statement issued by the War Department says that adequate supplies for all the National Guard and National Army will be available by the time the troops are called out. The department already has equipped 100000 men, National Guardsmen and regulars, and the troops in France have stores enough with them to last six months. The main shortage was in tenting ma terial
 The original plan of putting the National Guard in cantonments, the statement says, was due to this. Ii was abandoned when, with the coop eration of the supply committee on the National Defense Council, Guar termaster General Sharpe was able to obtain what was needed, inas much as numerous carpet and other manufacturers have completely re | vised their plants in order to meet the governments needs promptly. Tents for more than 500.OO0 mel will be ready September l. which is more than will be needed by that time

HUNDREDS OF VILLAGES IN
 FRANCE RUINS
Germans in Retreat Tried to Make Fertile Lands into Deserts and
 Succeeded.

PARIS, July 12.-There are 343 vii lages and hamlets in the French zone which the Germans before their retreat tried to make into desert. One hundred of these communities are now heaps of stones and bricks Two hundred and fifty thousand old men and women and children under 15 years, were left without shelter or food. To restore to cultivation 250,000 acres, the devasted area has been divided into seven parts, con- posed of 20 communes, each under an officer with skilled aids. Many thousand acres have already been ploughed and sown with grain. The houses are being repaired wherever possible and temporary shacks erect cd where no habitation exists. Many of the schools have been opened, mil itary doctors attend the sick, and so far as possible life is being made endurable.
