KANSAS MINERS STRIKE
5000 Employees of the Southeast
District Out.

Washington, Nov. 3-Chanccs OF
the 5000 striking coal miners Of
Southeast Kansas going back to
work before November I2 appeared
dim tonight as the result of DR.. Har-
ry A. Garfield, federal fuel admins
TRAITOR, and Alexander Howat, presi-
dent of the Kansas miners, failing
10 reach an agreement.
The conference of DR.. Garfield and
representatives of miners and oper-
ators was adjourned until November
- to be resumed in Kansas City.
Dr.. Garfield probably will try to at
tend the conference there, but may
be compelled to send representa-
tive on account of the amount of
pressing business in Washington.
The fuel administrator worked all
last evening and all day today in an
effort to get Howatt and other rep
resentativcs to agree to an automatic
penalty clause in their agreement
with the operators of Missouri. Kan
sas. Oklahoma and Arkansas. The
miners, however. stood firm. DR..
Garfield also remained firm in his
determination not to approve the
agreement which was reached last
month in Kansas City and which cut
out the automatic penalty clause
The clause gives operators a right
to enforce contracts with miners by
holding back parts Of the mems
wages.
The deadlock is expected to cause
more men to go out in the Pittsburg
kas., coal fields. Fifty-fivc mines
already had been shut down because
of DR.. Garfield's refusal TO approve
the Kansas City agreement. The
miners had walked out as soon as
they heard of the administrators
stand. The men took the stand that
an agreement between them and the
operators should be satisfactory to
any third element.
Washington. Nov. 3-Extreme
measures may be adopted by Dr.. H.
A. Garfield, federal fuel administrat-
Or, in the event the. miners of the
Southwest refused to accept the
automatic penalty clause in the
new wage contract and strike. Fol-
lowing the refusal late today of the
three Southwestern district presi-
dents of the United Mine Workers
of America to continue their confer
ence with Doctor Garfield and the
operators, the fuel administrator
conferred with Attorney General
Gregory regarding the extent of his
to deal with a strike.

HALF OF U.BOATS IN ALLAN.
TIC AND NORTH SEA SUNK
Losses During Last Quarter Equal
to 1916 Total British First Sea
Lord Declares.

London, Nov. I.-Sir Eric Geddes
who recently succeeded Sir Edward
Carson as First Lord of the Admiral
ty. made his first address in Parlia-
ment today and gave some interest
ing and anxiously awaited figures on
the work Of the navy and shipping ia
general.
His declaration that between 40
and 50 per cent of the German SUBJ
marines operating in the North Sea,
the Atlantic and the Arctic oceans,
had been sunk. was not the least in.
teresting of his announcements, and
there was an indication of the un-
ceasing war the British and Ameri-
can patrols are making on the sub
marine in his statement during the
last quarter the enemy had lost a
many submarines as during the
whole Of 1916.
The First Lord said that, in add
tion to increasing the personnel, SER
vices of younger officers had been
requisitioned, adding strength to the
experience of the older officers ON
the naval staff.
Concerning publication of. the ton
mage lost through submarines. he
said he studied the subject with tha
idea that Il was desirable, and Il
ought 10 be possible to give the pab-
lie fgures. because. he added, sft

and was only slightly damaged.

The announcement that five of the
men were drowned indicated to Off
cials that the Finland's company left
the vessel in small boats until it was
made certain that she would remain
afleat:- he capsizing Of one Of the
boats in launching might account for
the drowning of the men.
1t is assumed that two of the
armed guards were killed by the ex-
plosion of the torpedo and that the
missing one probably was blown
overheard by the explosion, as was
seaman on the destroyer Cassin
when she was torpedoed recently.

ton the secretary of agriculture in
which he says: Both for economic
and patriotic reasons the American
farmer should strive this year for the
highest standard of efficiency In the
production and conservation of food.
But production accomplished by waste
full methods does not make for eff
cheney, and careful thought therefore
should be given to the steps that need
to be taken.
Every vegetable not used for the
table should be canned for winter use,
so that nothing be wasted. Even on
city lots a small hotbed may raise a
large quantity Of table vegetables,
and bed four feet square will
raise herbs enough to supply the
market with sage, mint, and various
savory herbs, for some time. Vacant
lots all over our cities are lying I'M
used which should be put to work rails,
ing food for future needs. Different
soils grow different crops successfully.
The soy bean is a crop which is easily
grown on poor soil and the bean Is a
most nutritious one, which at much
less cost takes the place of the navy
bean. 1t seems to need little longer
soaking and parboiling to soften the
coat, but otherwise II is cooked and
served as the navy bean. Our food
experts tell us that the nourishment Is
equally as good as that of the navy
bean.
Skim milk has lost very little OF
its protein and may be used in the
place of whole milk In numherless
dishes at a great saving in cost For
the use In bread biscuits cakes, milk
toast, cream soups, vegetable chow
ders and various other dishes which
will occur to the thinking housewife,
skim milk may take the place of whole
milk.
When one is making fruit or spice
cake stewed prune juice may be used
for the wetting and some of the fruit
with few nuts, making a most daint-
lily favored cake.
