7. R. Is A GOOD LOSER
''I'lI Work for Recruiting and Liberty
Loan" He Declares

New York, May 19.-Asserting that
the Roosevelt division would have
been ready to sail for France on Mon
day of next week, if it had been ac-
cepted when first offered, Colonel
Roosevelt today expressed his pleas
ure that Major General Pershing was
to command the first American troops
which will go to France.
Pershing was one of Roosevelts ia
vorite army officers when Roosevelt
was president. He was promoted over
S62 other officers from a eaptaincy to
become a brigadier general
AT this moment, I have nothing
to say the colonel replied, when
questioned about President Wilson's
decision not to send volunteers to
Europe for the present, except that if
the administration has deemed it
wise to grant the request made about
raising a division three and one-half
months ago, the division would have
been ready to sail this coming Mon
day. After sixty days intensive train
ing in France, it would not have been
distinguishable from the regulars and
it would have taken away from train
ing troops at home only one-twelfth
of the number of regular officers that
will be taken in the division of regu-
lars sent abroad. Let me say, how
ever. how pleased / am that General
Pershing, with division. is going
over l am delighted that we are soon
to have men in the fighting line and
like every other good citizen, I am
delighted to do everything I can to
help the recruiting, and / appeal to
every one to help the liberty loan"

Summer showers with thunder and

An Appeal to People of BerliI
to Withstand Hunger.
Race With Father Time and
Famine in Germany.
POTATO SITUATION WORSE
Altoona and Hamburg Reduce
Their Daily RatiOns.
May Grant Bread RatiOns to
Make Up for Shortage.

Copenhagen, May 19.-The potato
situation in Germany apparently is
growing steadily worse, altho the
weather no longer furnishes an eX-
cuse for scanty shipments. Follow
ing the example of its sister city, AL
tona, Hamburg, next week will reduce
the weekly ration to twenty-four
ounces, substituting an allowance of
$40 grams of bread for the rest of the
promised five pounds. To meet the
dissatisfaction which this state of af-
fairs produces, the government has
authorized grocerS to sell all their re-
naming stock of canned vegetables
next week.
The Berlin potato ration is being
maintained altho with great difficulty
ing at the capital the allowance
promised so definitely after the April
strike.
In a remarkably worded official ap-
peal, the people of Berlin are implored
to remember that the eyes of the
world are upon them. They are adj
monished to cease complaining and
recognize thankfully how much bet
ter conditions are at Berlin than in
the war ravaged enemy lands of the
British Isles, which it is said are
headed toward actual starvation.
simultaneously, there are publish
ed official arrangements for a race
between Father Time and famine that
shows how perllouSly Scant is the
margin of safety, under the most
favorable conditions, between the mo-
ment when the present stock is eX-
hausted and the time new flour will
be available. These plans provide for
selection of the region where the har-
vest will ripen first under this years
climatic conditions to which reapers,
threshing machines and military
workers will be sent. All arrange
ments have been made for rushing
this grain to the mills.
To grant compensatory bread ra-
tons to even 100000 of the en-
pire's population to make up for lack
of potatoes, would eat into this stock
at the rate of more than 1000 tons
weekly

TWO zEPS DOWN
Big Leg Fell Within Sight of
the Danish Coast.
Second Was Hit by Lightning
and Exploded.

Copenhagen, May 9.-Destruction
of the Zeppelin L-22, reported without
details in an official British announce
ment on Monday occurred off Esbjerg
within sight of the Danish coast, ac-
cording to the accounts of eye wit
nesses from villages on the shore
These accounts indicate that not one
but two Zeppelins were destroyed on
that day. inasmuch as the explosion
of an airship off Terschelling was re-
ported from Holland, at a point too
distant to cover the same case. The
loss of the second airship is attributed
to lightning.
Plunged Into Sea.
The L-22 was seen off Esbjerg
while making one of the customary
daily observation tours up and down
the coast of JUtland. 1t was engaged
by a British force which presumably
was looking for the German destroy
ers that of late have been fishing up
British mine fields in this region
The Zeppelin was not far from
shore and was plainly visible. Its
opponents could not be seen, but their
presence was made known by the
sound of guns. Witnesses saw the
airship dart upward after the first
round of shots Then they heard a
second salvo. The Zeppelin endeav-
ored to manuever itself out of range
but with the third broadside. it went
down. At first it sank slowly and then
plunged down at great speed into the
sea below the horizon.
