port Shows Transports
Were in Great Danger
ONE SUBMARINE is SUNK
Details Made Public For First
Time by Secretary
Daniels
ONE SUBMARINE IS SUNK

Washington, Aug. "Details of the
attack by German submarines upon
the first expedition of American
troops sent to France became known
for the first time when the report of
Rear Admiral Gleaves, commanding
the naval convoy, was made public
by Secretary Daniels.
The first attack was made on Ad-
miral Gleaves' flagship. leading the
first group of the expeditionary force,
and at least two submarines were
indicated to be engaged. The admi-
raj stated the belief that the U-boats
had knowledge of the coming of the
troop ships and were on watch for
them.
The second group of transports also
was attacked by two submarines. one
of which apparently was sent to the
bottom by a bomb, dropped from an
American destroyer. There is dis
agreement among officers of the third
group as to whether they were at
tackled, but much evidence is pre-
sented to indicate that they also were
assailed.
Text of Report Is Exact
Secretary Daniels made the report
public with certain military informa-
ton deleted. after he sent an uncen-
sored copy in confidence to the Senate
naval committee. members of which
recently inquired as to the truth of
charges in the Senate that the Off
cial account of the attack, published
on July 8, was greatly exaggerated.
When the committees inquiry was
first made the official report from
Admiral Gleaves had not been SUBJ
mitted to the department. but the
secretary replied that he was willing
to show the members the briefer dis
patch from which the first announce
ment was made.
In his letter of transmittal to-day
Mr.. Daniels recalled these facts and
continued:

MORE LIME ON
STATES FARMS
Department of Agriculture
Issues Interesting Figures
Regarding Fertilizers

Less commercial fertilizer was
used by the farmers of Pennsylvania
during 1915 than during preceding
years that the Department of Agri-
culture has been registering brands
of fertilizers and receiving tonnage
sale reports, says tine department
bulletin. The records SHOW that dur
ing the past year 268,455 tons of
commercial fertilizers were used in
the state and they also show a fur
ther decrease in the number of regis
tered brands offered by the various
manufacturers and importers.
In 1914 the high mark of regis
tered brands and chemicals totaled
1884, but with the European war
there was a decrease in 1915 to 1 ,48S
brands and last year there were only
1,411 brands registered. Many
brands that contained potash and
other ingredients of which there is a
scarcity or prohibitive price on ac-
count of the war were withdrawn
from the market. In 1914 the larg-
est total tonnage was reported at
S23,14S tons. while in 1915 this was
reduced to S16.319 tons and last
year to 26S,455 tons.
During the past year 2,468 sam
pies of commercial fertilizers were
collected and sent to the Department
of Agriculture and of this number
1877 samples were analyzed. Eighty
nine suits were instituted as the re-
suit of the analysis and the collec-
ton of samples, seventy-two cases
being brought for nonregistration of
brands and seventeen cases for de-
ficiency in fertilizers as guaranteed.
This protection to the farmer in
assuring him ia securing the fertiliz-
ing elements he was paying for has
been of especial benefit. In the
eighty-nine actions, fines and costs
amounting to $1,906.16 were recov-
cred and turned into the State Treas
ury. The registration of the 1,411
brands of fertilizers and chemicals
brought fees amounting to $24,475,
which was turned into the State
Treasury.
The use of lime as a soil amend
ing factor is observed in the reports
of the department covering the first
year of operation of the lime act
which show that there were 312,94S
tons of lime sold under the pro.
visions of the law.
During the past year 219 brand.
of agricultural lime products were
registered and fees amounting tC
$1,095 were collected and turned into
the State Treasury. The lime ac
does not cover the tonnage of lime

Naval officers who read the GIeaves

every basis for the pride with which

tack on July 5.
The report shows that the Ameri-
can navy is already making use of
tactics and devices which guarantee
protection against the U-boat. The
allusion to the detection of subma-
rines at diminishing distances war
rants the belief that the invisibility
of the underwater craft has been at
least lessened as a factor in it's use

The allusion to the depth charge"
which brought timber, oil and wreck
age to the surface proves that the

when submerged has been invaded by
Yankee ingenuity.

Rats Harm Wheat;
Owner Is Fined

London, Aug. l. - Fines are now
being assessed not only for wasting
food. but for taking improper care OF
grain and other foodstuffs. At Wal
sail, Samuel Richards was fined $50
far wasting wheat. 1t was stated
that a wheat rick was found un-
thatched at his farm and badly eaten
by rats and mice. For the defense 1t
was contended that he could not get
labor to have the threshing DONE and
that all farmers suffered damage
through rats in their ricks.

by the purchaser in bulk. And one
of the difficult features of the en-
forcement of the lime law was to
get the small producer to understand
his liability.
In the tonnage registration of lime
used for agricultural purposes there
is no record required from farmers
burning their own limestone in the
helds and it is probable that almost
twice the amount of lime was used
on the farms of the state as is re-
corded in the figures reported of
official tonnage sold under the pro-
visions of the lime law.
