Editor Got Quail

Sayrc, Okla. Some good look ng
gentleman who went hunting on Sat
urday last, called at the Headlight
Office during the absence of the edi-
tor, and presented our wife with three
nice quail, but with strict injunction
that she must not tell the editor who
brought them in, or make any men
ton of his present in the Headlight.
However, the wife did not get very
far ahead of We editor, as lady re-
siding near Doxey brought the editor
large roll of as fine butter as we
have eaten in some time, but she was
also modest and made strict stipula-
ton that her name was not to appear
in print. However, we soon patched
matters up, and got our share of the
quail, byl permitting the wife to use
our butter to fry them in.
We still claim to be ahead Of the
wife. as Mrs. Mary Mackey, near Ber-
lin, remembered US with a jug of but
tefmilk, which simply topped out the
that good looking gentleman calls on
the wife again.

AMERICAN TARS ARE
 LIVING LIKE PRINCES
Bluejackets In War Zone Only Fighting Men Getting Real, White Bread With Meals On Ship Every Day.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS. June 22.- Jackies of the American patrol tiotil- la are getting the best of care and fare. as one result of the adequate equipment of the fotilla's mother ship and the efficiency of the men who man it.
 "It is really marvellous what you Americans can do," remarked Brit ish officer. The ship not only keeps the fleet in trim, but bakes the bread and performs innumerable other ser vices for the men.
 The mother ship is the only place in the British Isles where bread other than war bread" is made. A baker formerly with two of the biggest ho- tels at a famous Atlantic coast resort. turns out daily several hundred loaves of the finest white bread. The meals for the tackles on board are cooked by chef of one of New Works popu- lar Broadway hotels. In fact life is so pleasant on this bee hive of indus try that five members of her crew have not set foot ashore since her ar rival. preferring the ships accommo- dations.

RUSSIANS TURN
 HEAVY GUNS ON
 GERMAN FORCES
Bombardment Believed Pre- Jude to New Infantry Move ment; Disorders Among Slavs On Black Sea.

The French and Germans in the sons and in several sectors in Cham pagne have been engaged in furious fighting for two days with varying results, while in the eastern theatre in Volhynia and Galicia the Russians are using their guns on the Austro- German lines in bombardments which may prove the prelude to commence ment of infantry activity.
 On the British line in France bad weather has brought the operations of General Haig's army almost to a standstill, except for bombardments which are being reciprocated by the Germans, patrol reconnaisssances and aerial operations. The offensive of the Italians which was resumed Wednes- day on the front southeast of Trent, has slackened materially in intensity. On the other fronts only minor en- agreements have taken place.
 Having lost to the French the great portion Of the trenches they had cap tured in the vicinity of Vauxallon the Germans to the east of this region have delivered violent attacks along a front about a mile and a quarter, extending from Epyne Chevrigry to La Royere farm. Picked troops in large numbers were used in the assaults. The French inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans, driving back the as saulting waves into their trenches. except in the center where the forces of the German crown prince entered French salient.
 In Champagne southeast of Moron villiers. according to the Berlin war office, the Germans in a surprise at tack conquered a French position but the French later in counter attacks re- gained portion of it. Near Carnillet the French penetrated the German line, but were unable to consolidate the position owing to heavy counter attacks.
 Disorders again have broken out among the sailors of the Russian Black Sea fleet at Sebastopol. They are re- ported to be connected with the re- tirement of the commander of the fleet. and propaganda by forces of re action. The trouble is not believed to be serious. Unofficial advices from Vienna are to the effect that the cab inet crisis has not yet been settled. It is asserted that Count Clam Mar tinio. the premier. has been unable to- form a new ministry and has request ed Emperor Charles to relieve him of the task.

 WASHINGTON,June 22.-All other phases of the rather perfunctory fight in the house over the food control bill were over shadowed tonight by inter- est in preparation by prohibition ad- vocates for a determined effort to in sert a stronger dry" prohibition provision to the final vote. The section which would authorize the president to limit, regulate, pro- hibit or reduce the supply of food materials or feeds in use in the making of alcoholic liquors, falls short of the demands of most of the anti-liquor elements. A majority hopes for absolute prohibition of the use of grain for beverage purposes during the war. They are not agreed on any one proposed amendment, how ever. and their divisions may result in leaving the provision unchanged.
 Except for the prohibition drive. nothing was in sight tonight to pre- vent passage of the measure in the house tomorrow and the outlook in the senate for quick action also was con sidered good.
 Formality of debate proceeded in the senate with Senator Reed of Mis- souri occupying most of the after noon in opposition to the measure while other leaders continued informal conferences looking to compromises.

(By Review Leased Wire.)

i N ATLANTIC PORT,
 A June 22.-An American
 - steamer which arrived here in ballast today from a British port had a thrilling encounter on June 4 with German sub marine after the enemy boat had fired a torpedo at her which hit but failed to explode. The submarine was badly damaged by the fire of the steamers gun crew and disap- peared after her periscope had been shot away.
 The steamers captain saw the wake of the torpedo and after the impact ordered his crew to the boats. The submarine submerged. evidently be- lieving that the shot had done it's in tended work. The captain. the first and second officers and boatswain mates of the gun crew remained on board the steamer. When the torpedo was seen to have failed to score. the crew was ordered back from the boats and the submarine reappeared. The bluejackets went to the four-ineh guns fore and aft and fired rapidly. The submarine. according to the captain. advanced head on at full speed and then stopped. which interferred with the range of the American gunners-
 When 500 yards from the steamer. the captain said, one of the shells from the steamer hit the submarine and she submerged. As she came up a second shot tore away her periscOpe and an- other exploded on her back. Nineteen shots in all were fired by the steamer. The crew said that light blue smoke rose from the stern of the submarine as it went down.
 The captain said he remained in the vicinity of the enemy for two hours but she failed to reappear. He said he was not certain that the submarine was sunk but was certain that her periscope was shot away and her deck marked. The gun crew and wireless operator declare that there was doubt that the boat was sunk.

WAUKESHA. Wis, June 22.-Miss Grace Lusk. high school teacher. who shot and killed Mrs. David Roberts. wife of a former state official with whom she professed to be in love. was served today with warrant charging her with murder in the first degree. The warrant was read to her in the hospital where her life had hung in the balance since she had in- fiicted a bullet wound on herself. after standing off the police half an hour.
 Despite her protestations of lasting love for Dr. Roberts. Miss Lusk in- dicated bitterness when she was plac- ed under formal arrest.
 "Oh Godi" she cried. "are they go- ing to take me and let him go free?"
 Tonight Miss Lusk's condition took turn for the worse and the physi- clans who were constantly watching her feared that an infection might de- velop in the wound which would prove fatal She had lost her strength af- ter the nervous excitement following the serving of the warrant.
 A pathetic incident occurred when Dr. A. P Lusk. father of the accused slayer. visited her in the hospital this afternoon.
 In a broken voice. Dr. Lusk asekd You poor girl. why did you do it?'
 "If you only knew. father. the life I have lived. It was terrible and I know God will forGive me" she replied

Remove Influence of Those People Whose Mischevous Activity Is Cause of War" Is Plea of Democrat.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

AMSTERDAM, June 22.-According to the Berlin Vorwaerts, copy of which has been received here, Wolf gang Heine, member of the reichstag, addressing a Social Democratic meet ing in Berlin spoke strongly in favor of peace without annexation or indem- mites. Herr Heine declared that the government long ago should have stated publicly what it said confiden- tially to Dr. Arthur Hoffman, the for mer member of the Swiss federal coun- cil who endeavored to open peace ne gotiations between Russia and Ger many.
 It failed to do So, Herr Heine con tinued, because Wilhelmstrasse was afraid of the Kreuz Zeitung, the Reichsbote and the Tages Zeitung, and because Prussian tradition attached vastly more importance to the words of the generals than to those of other people.
 But since the belligerent govern ments are so involved in the cul de sac that it is unlikely that they will come together to talk peace" Herr Heine continued, it only remains for the people themselves to raise their voices for peace and to take in hand the task of removing the influence of those people whose mischievous activ- whose policy of domination is now for whose policy of Domination is wrongly regarded abroad as the aim of the German people and to whom must be ascribed the fact that Germany is hated by the entire world"

 Asks investigation.
 The power granted to the president to commander ship supplies probably will not be delegated to any one for the present The government, it is said. hopes to arrive at some arrange ment as to steel prices which will make it unnecessary to commander.
 The dispute over prices to be paid for steel took a new turn today when Chairman Denman asked the federal trade commission to investigate the cost of steel manufacture with a view to arriving at fair price and General Goethals requested the steel commit tee of the council of national defense to take the matter up. MT. Denman has baked at paying more than $56 a ton for steel and refused to sign contracts made by General Goethals calling for steel at $95.
 Explains Action.
 MT Denman's action in requesting the trade commission to determine steel manufacturing costs was ex- plained tonight in a statement saying the shipping board desired some es- tablished government agency to ar rive at costs so that the individual consumer might be protected against a raise in prices which would come when the government went itno the market for large quantities of steel at low prices.
