U-BOAT WAR FAILURE
BRITISH PREMIER SAYS GER.
MANY CAN'T STARVE ENGLAND.
5remy Is Barely Holding own--Shlp-
ping Lossee Reduced-More
Grain Than Year Ago.

London, Aug. 18.-Premier Lloyd
George, speaking in the house of com
mons on Thursday, said that this time
last year the wheat in this country
amounted 10 6,4S0,000 quarters and
that now it is S.500,000 quarters. The
stock of oats and barley, he declared
also was higher. There had been a
ton, the premier said, and owing to
closer milling and food economy there
had been an addition TO the wheat
stock Of 10000 quarters per week "a
quarter is equivalent to 4S0 pounds.)
"The government has come to the
conclusion" Lloyd George said, that
with reasonable economy there is 10
chance Of starving England out.
"The admiralty plans dealing with
submarines have been increasingly sue
cessful."
The premier saiG that in the single
month of April 100000 gross tons OF
shipping were lost through German
submarines. In July the tonnage lost
went down to 100000 gross tons. This
month there was substantial inn
provement over that Of July.
The premier said:
Germany now is hardly able to hold
her Own-nOt even that"
With the cooperation of America,
the premier said, there would be sufti-
cient tonnage for all of 1913 and if nee
=
decreased during the last year, he
added, more goods had been carried
from overseas.

DIVISION COMMANDER HAS REP
UTATIoN or BEING MAN
OF ACTION.
KNOWN IN ARMY AS LONG JIM
Was Colonel of Volunteer Regiment in
the Philippines and His Rise Has
Seen Rapid - Troops to
Travel in Large Units.

Camp Douglas - Maj. Gen. James
Parker, who will command the Elev-
enth division composed of Michigan
and Wisconsin troops, is known in the
army as Long Jim," because his legs
are lengthy and none too straight.
President Wilson has promoted him
from the rank of brigadier general to
major general, and he will join the
Badger state troops at Camp MacAr-
thur, Waco, Tex.
Col. f. N. Jones, mastering officer
here. knows Gen. Parker intimately,
and Gen. Charles R. Boardman has
met him on several occasions. He is
described as tall, rangy and soft spo-
ken He is striking in appearance, and
has the reputation of being man of
action. He was colonel of a volunteer
regiment in the Philippines, and his
rise has been rapid.
Under his command, the Eleventh di-
vision may be subject to experiments
during the encampment in Waco. His
record shows that he is a man of ideas,
and is not timid about experimenting.
TO improve the efficiency of his com
mand, although he may see little that
needs changing in the Wisconsin
troops that will come to him.
1t seems almost certain that when
the guardsmen move from here that
they viii be sent to Waco by regi-
ments, although no announcement to
this effect has been made. Any at.
tempt to move all the units would tie
up more equipment than any railroad
could probably spare.
The soldiers travel one man to
seat, which gives some idea of the
number of cars that would be neces-
sary if Uncle Sam asked that about
l5,9oo men be moved in day.

aid this country in its war emergency
than most people imagine. Ii is de
clared that already farmers are pre-.
pairing to increase the productiyeness
of their farms next year
Ii is said that never before has the
agricultural department received so
many letters asking advice as to what
crops to put in to benefit the nation,

Many letters are being received
from farmers describing the character
Of the soil on the farms. and asking
what acreage will be the best for

the demands of the government as re-
