somewhat less proportion than food

"Now The Crisis Is Here! This
great Nation must arouse herself for
a mighty struggle for liberty. Peo-
pie without food and armies without

begin to fight. Our greatest safety
now lies in Food Production and in
saving the waste products.

See that all things necessary to help
farmers are done. Of course, we
must produce cotton, but with mod
crate acreage and good season there
will be enough. Do not sacrifice
acres of Food to increase your acre
age in cotton. Look Ahead! Get the
warehouses, the feed mills, shelters,
cleaning stations, creameries, packing
plants, etc. ready. You must do your
share and cooperate with farmers.
They must do their share and tend the
crops faithfully.
Farmers, in your Unions, clubs
and other organizations, resolve to
Use The Best Methods now. When
have the best farming in its history.
Labor is short, hence the best tools
and all labor-saving devices must be
used to make it possible for every
farm laborer to cover as much ground
as possible and do the most efficient
work. Farm women and girls have
important work to do in the garden,
the orchard, in raising poultry, and
especially in canning, preserving and
conserving our food supply.
"Your County Agent and Home
Demonstration Agent become more
important officers now than ever be-
fore. Your State Extension Divis-
ion at the Agricultural College will
have still more important duties.
Look to these for counsel and advice
in this new burden of extra work.
The County Agent will, without
doubt, have new duties and RESPONSE
bilities in the near future.
Farmers And Business Men, save
the breeding stock. Don't sell COWS,
heifers, mares, sows, gifts, ewes or
hens. Keep them for breeding. If
the breeding stock is sold where vii

Boys Are Growing Corn.

If all the farmers in the State
show as much enthusiasm in their
work this year as the farm boys are
in enrolling in the corn clubs, Florida
will be able to feed herself. That is
the opinion of G. L. Harrington, State
Agricultural Club Agent to the Uni
versity of Florida extension division
Nearly twelve hundred boys are en-
rolled in the work, with the number
from four counties yet to be received.
If their work is as successful this
year as was the work of the 45O boys
who reported last year, the boys will
produce more than sixty thousand
bushels of corn. And with corn hit
ting prices of over a dollar bushel,
the crop may amount to nearly a
hundred thousand dollars in value.
For the 450 boys last year made
an average production of 42.1 bushels.
The best three yields were more than
one hundred bushels to the acre, while
some of the yields went below twen-

the following appeal:
"For nearly three years l have
done my best to warn you to prepare

years we have tried to encourage di-

you did we'll and made great pro-

Six Are Subpenaed
In Census Roundup;
10000 More Register

First steps toward rounding up those
who are trying to evade registration in
the state military census were taken
yesterday by Z. P. Goodrich, director Of
the census for New York City, when he
issued subppnas for six persons re-
ported to have refused TO answer ques-
tions.
Two of these we're found to have
used false names, and another was
served by proxy, a member of the fam
lily accepting service. fourth was
found 20 be only sixteen years old, and
the other two had become impatient at
the first registration places visited. but
had registered at another address.
They were released when they produced
their slips.
Fewer than 10000 persons, the lowest
number since the census started, regis
tered Yesterday, and Mr.. Goodrich
urged that as many as possible register
10 day and tomorrow, as there proba-
bly, will be big rush on Saturday and
Monday, the last two days of the
census.
The objects of the census will be ex-
planned tonight at rally of foreign
born citizens at Cooper Union.
letter was sent to Governor Whit
man yesterday by the Mothers Anti
High Price Federation. inviting him to
explain the purposes of the census at
mass meeting in Union Square on Sat-
urday. The letter states that the women
do not believe they should be compelled
to register for service when they are
not permitted TO vote.

u. S. Ships Rescue
Victims of U.Boat
Far Out in Atlantic

The Base Of the American Flotilla
in British Waters, June 20.-Two
American destroyers have returned
here with eighty survivors Of two tor
pedoed British ships. The ships were
sunk at the furthest point westward
in the Atlantic at which U-boats have
appeared since the ruthless campaign
began, and the response Of the Ameri-
can destroyers to their S 0 S was
a run of more than hundred miles.
When the American wsrships arrived
they found the ships were gone, and for
many hours they groped about in the
dark in search Of the survivors. The
crew Of one sunken ship, thirty-one in
number, were found in one lifeboat,
while forty-nine survivors Of the sec
ond ship were picked up from two
small boats. Four sailors of the
latter ship were killed by the explo-
sion of the torpedo.
Admiral Sims and other naval Off
GERS met the destroyers on their re-
turn and complimented the command
ers on their work. American corre-
spondents were present, having been
invited through an arrangement be-
tween the United States and British
governments. The British Admiralty
assigned an official photographer 10
take pictures of anything desired BY
the newspaper men. Many photographs
were made. showing the American tars
fraternizing with the British sailors.
When the correspondents arrived in
the port they were taken to the beauti-
full Old English home where Admiral
Sims has his headquarters. The house
is 300 feet above the town, and from
the gardens which surround it several
American destroyers could be seen rid
ing at anchor. The admiral chatted
with the newspaper men for half an
hour, after which they were taken to
irsnect the harbor

been little more than 1000 men. in
stead of the 5000 or more the depart
ment hoped to secure.
To-day's recruiting bulletin shows
that since April / 1888 men have
been enrolled as war volunteers Of the
ls3,s9S necessary. The army, there
fore, is now nearly 10000 men short
of war strength, and the Presidents
call. the first he has made directly for
war volunteers, is designed to fill in
this gap as quickly as possible.
Yesterday enlistments in the regular
army totalled l,l7S, Of which number
1877 were secured by New York. l4O by
Pennsylvania and SO by New Jersey.

Daniels Will Fix
All Prices on Cost
OF Basic Materials

Washington, June 20. - Secretary
Daniels called the entire membership
of the Federal Trade Commission into
conference to-day and requested them
to ascertain without delay the cost of
production Of all basic raw materials
entering into the manufacture OF NUM-
tions or power for the navy.
Copper, steel, coal, iron and fuel oil
are included, and Mr.. Daniels said that
when the production costs for such
articles were established the price TO
be paid by the navy would be fixed,
allowing for a flair. even liberal,
profit" to the producers.
Beyond that" the Secretary added,
"I am not going to pay"
Pending the fixing of cost prices by
the Trade Commission, the department
will continue to direct producers and
manufacturers to deliver to the navy
such articles and supplies as it needs.
The task before the Trade Commis-
sion is a difficult one on account OF
the varying cost of production OF the
same raw materials in different sec.
tions of the country. II was pointed
out to-day that to mine copper in some
sections costs about cents per pound,
while in other sections the cost is
from 10 to '16 cents.
Some time ago the Navy Department
contracted for a quantity Of copper at
II cents, but this order has now been
completed by the producers and no
more of the metal is available at that
figure. This negotiation was arranged
by the producers themselves by means
of a pooling arrangement whereby the
profits were equalized among those
participating.
Secretary Daniels stated to-day that
before the prices were fixed on the
various raw materials by the Trade
Commission the producers would have
an opportunity TO present their case TO
the government. Commenting further
on the situation Mr.. Daniels said:
"The Lord put these things into the
ground and the only problem is in get
ting them out. 1t is true that more
is paid for labor now than formerly,
that the cost of materials necessary to
production has risen and that neces-
sarily there may be some increase in
the price the government will have to
pay"

Suspect Swiss
Of News Leak
Into Germany
Washington Officials Fear
Misuse of Office by
Hoffman,
[Hrom Ths Tribune Bureall

Washington, June 20.-The utlliza-
Of Swiss neutrality and immunity as
cloak TO advance information Of advan-
tage TO Germany became the subject OF
serious discussions to-day in official
circles, following the resignation OF NJ.
Hoffman,, member of the Swiss Fed
eral Council, who was responsible for
the transmission through Swiss diplo-
matte channels of the German peace
offer TO Russia.
Inasmuch as Hoffman, was ut the
head of the Federal Political Depart
ment, which controls the Swiss dipio-
matte service, IL was regarded as pos
sible to-day that the recall of DR.. Paul
Ritter as Swiss Minister TO the United
States was not due 10 any fault origin
ating with him, but that he was sacri-
feed because of the unfavorable I'M
preston made upon this government
by the secret peace proposal from Ger
many that DR.. Ritter was alleged 10
have communicated TO the American
press before delivering il to the State
Department.
The discovery of the misuse in the
interests of Germany of the Swiss dip
lomatic service, in an effort to induce
Russia to withdraw from the war, has
raised the question here whether Hoff-
mann. as head of the Federal Political
Department has permitted the prosti-
tuition of Switzerland's diplomatic priv
ieges for the collection and dlssemina-
tion Of information for Germany.
There have long been rumors in
Washington that Germany has made
use of some undiscovered means of OBJ
tanning intelligence from this country,
end il has been suggested that Ger
many might be employing the diplo-
matte pouches of some neutral Euro
pean country for this purpose. Some
substance was thought TO have been
given to this theory when British Off
cials let il become known that q pouch
from the Swedish Legation here had
been opened in New York. the discov-
cry being made at Halifax.

MAYORS Committee on National De-
fence. This committee was formed
to aid such aliens as might be thrown
out of employment by the law to secure
other employment. Just one German
asked such help, and when it was Sc
cured for him declined to take it.
Twelve others, on being urged, ex-

for them. Not one appeared at the
places of employment. .

ouiry shows that a large proportion OF
those who called upon the Mayors COM

United States Marshal Mccarthy works.
"McCarthy can 20 no further nor
