Thirteen Men on Rocking

U-BOAT TORPEDOES
THE ROCKINGHAM
Was Victim of Submarine
Is Report of the 33
Survivors

London, May 3-Thirteen men of tht
crew OF the American steamship Rock
ingham, torpedoed and sunk by Ger
man submarine, were missing yesterday
when a patrol vessel brought in thirty
three survivors The thirty-three were
picked up Tuesday. They were in two
lifeboats. One boat, with the thirteen
men still unaccounted for, is missing
Survivors said a German submarine
sank the Rockingham.
The Rockingham, formerly the Nebras-
kan, was of 440S tons gross. She was
built at Camden, y. j., in 1902, and was
owned by the Garland Steamship corpor-
alton. She was last reported in mari.
time records as having arrived at Balti-
more on March 10 from Liverpool.
Two boats, containing thirty-three
men were picked up Tuesday, one by a
patrol vessel.
The Rockingham left Baltimore April
10 for Liverpool under command of Cap
tain Charles Edwards of Brooklyn. Cap
tain Edwards is naturalized American
of English birth.
The Nebraskan {now named Rocking
ham, was struck by mine or torpedo
off Fastnet May 26, 1915, but reached
Queenstown under her own steam on her
way back to Liverpool. No lives were
lost among the crew. The Nebraskan
did not carry any passengers.
The attack was made the subject OF
a note to Germany by President Wilson,
the result of which was that Germany
offered payment for damages, but at
tempted to justify the act.

Washington, May 3.--Machinery fol
CONSUMPTION into the service of the first

by the war department, Local electora

and sitting out the exemptions.
| The system in general will be as fol.
lows:
On day designated by proclamation
probably before September |, all the
men in the nation between the ages to be
set in the CONSUMPTION bill viii be or
dered to visit the polls and register.
Upon registration they will receive cards
designating the number OF the class in
which they will be called for examina-
ton.
1t is planned to use the police facili-
ties of townships, village. and cities to
seek out "slackers" who fail or refuse to
register. Under the bill heavy PEN
atty will be imposed for failing to reg
lister.
Then calls by classes will follow As
each class reports, the men subject to
exemption under the bill--munition
workers, men with dependents, men en-
gagged in industries vital TO the military
machine and other classes, such as agri-
cultural workers, viii first be weeded
out.
After that the rest will be sifted again
by physical test and the unfit reject
ed. Then another class for examina-
fion will he summouad and rho rroaasa
repeated until all the men of the nation
physically fit and not subject to exemp-
tion have been sifted out.
1t is believed the jury wheel system
to determine the first levy win be used.
Those men chosen from the ranks sub
ject to service will comprise the first
levy. They will then await the order
to go to the training camps.

Submarine War Is Sug-
gested.

London, May 3.-Indcations that Ger
man sea pressure may soon force Norway
nto the war on the side of the allies are
contained in information recently re-
ceived here from Christiana. Last week
German U-boats sent under % Norwe-
gian ships, aggregating $4,000 tons, the
highest point reached during the war in
Norwegian losses.
The feeling in Christiania is that the
situation is rapidly becoming unbearable.
1t is known here that Norway is repre-
senting the need of suspending inter
course with Germany to Sweden and Den
mark. Norway could not be much
greater sufferer if she were at war, be-
cause her sea losses in March were not
very far under those of England
The Norwegian people are greatly
aroused over the situation, especially
since an unarmed Norwegian ship was
torpedoed April 10, with the loss of %
lives.

Cultural Methods and Crop Rotation
Clean cultural methods and crop rota-

Many cutworms can be destroyed
where it is possible to overflow the fields,

What to Do When Cutworms Travel Like
Army Worms.

! When cutworms occur in unusual album
dance, which happens locally and some
times generally, they exhaust their food
supply and migrate TO other fields. This
| they do literally in armies, assuming
what is called the army worm habit. At
such times it is necessary to treat them
the same as army worms. While the
methods which have been advised are
valuable in such cases, they may be too
slow to destroy all the cutworms and
other methods must be employed. These
include trenching, ditching, the blowing
OF deep burrows in advance of the trav-
cling cutworms to trap them, and the
dragging of logs or brush through the
burrows. II the trenches can be filled
with water, the addition of small guam
tity of kerosene, so AS to form a thin
scum on the surface will prove fatal to
cutworms. In extreme cases. barriers
OF fence boards are erected and the tops
smeared with tar or other sticky sub
stances to stop the cutworms as they at
tempt to crawl over.
Spraying with Arsenicals.
In extremely severe attacks by cut
worms on choice plants there is some
times no opportunity to prepare the pois
oned bait. In such cases an arsenate OF
lead spray will answer quite as well. In
one instance a parsley field was sprayed
with four pounds of arsenate of lead to
50 gallons OF water; this killed all the
cutworms, whereas if they had been left
alone for a day or two longer the field

GARDEN cUTwoRM REMEDIES.
Poisoned Bran Bats Effective-Ditches
Barriers or Arsenical Sprays for
Extreme Outbreaks.

Tomatoes, cabbages, sweet potatoes
lettuce and other truck plants, especially
those which are started under glass and
transplanted, are subject to serious in.
jury by cutworms. These pests appear
sometimes in great numbers in the spring
and early summer and frequently do Sc
we're injury before their rayages are no.
ticed Their method of attack is to cut
off the young plants at about the surface
of the ground, and as these caterpillars
are of large size and voracious feeders,
they are capable of destroying many
plants in a single inght--frequently more
than they can devour. Every year these
insects, working generally throughout
the United States, have destroyed hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
crops. By the timely application of rem.
edies, however, as has been demonstrated
by entomologists of the T. s. department
of agriculture, they readily can be con-
trolled, even over considerable areas. The
usual method of control is by the use of
poisoned bats.
How to Mix and Apply Poisoned Bats
Take bushel OF dry bran, add one
pound of white arsenic or paris green,
and mix il thoroughly into mash with
eight gallons of water in which has been
stirred half gallon of sorghum or other
cheap molasses. (Arsenic and paris green
are deadly poisons. Handle them with
great care.) This amount win be suf1i-
cient for the treatment of about four or
five acres of cultivated crops. After the
mash has stood for several hours, scatter
it in Jumps about the size of marble
over the fields where the injury Is begin
ming TO appear and about the bases of
the plants set out. Apply late in the
day, so as to place the poison about the
plants before night, which is the time
when the cutworms are active. Apply a
second time, if necessary. Keep children,
livestock and chickens away from this
bait.
