Boston, March After a running

she was hit twice by shells, the British
freight steamer Foyle of the Cunard line
arrived yesterday from London. Capt.
James Evans reported that the encounter
with the U-boat took place on Jan. 81

Portland, just as she was approaching
the entrance to the English channel.
The captain was almost hit by fragments
of a shell which struck the ship on the
port side. forward The pieces dropped
on the bridge at his feet. Nearly 80
shots we're fired during the engagement,

New York, March 7.--Ex-Judge Alton

William Jennings Bryan,

II you and your friend; Senator LaFol-

MORE FACTS IN PLOT NOTE.
Parts of Document Sent by Zimmerman
Believed to Have Been Suppressed.

Washington, March Information
gained at the department Of state yes
terday led to the inference that the now
famous Zimmerman note urging Mex
leo and Japan to join with Germany in
war on this country contained facts
other than those made public last week
at the request of President Wilson. Sec
rotary Lansing, when asked fatty if GER
tain sections of the note had not been
suppressed. would say only that he could
not discuss the subject at this time. 1t
is believed that these facts will become
publicly known before the end of the

be an oil carrier, and saw that she was
afire. As he looked he saw a flash off
TO one side at considerable distance.
Then he discerned the superstructure of
the U.boat, and realized that the steam
err in front of him had been set ablaze by
shell fire.
Without waiting a moment longer,
Capt. Evans ordered the helm put hard
over, and the Foyle headed right about
on her course. Ordinarily the steamer
makes about 10 knots an hour, but now
she made IL. The submarine took up
the chase, firing at range of five miles.
Shot after shot struck the water on eth
er side of the fleeing steamer, most OF
them dropping entirely too close for COM
fort,
Getting the range of the submarine,
the g,lnners aboard the Foyle opened re-
turn fire, and sent their shells close to
the mark. The chase continued for two
hours and half, with the firing con-
tinuing meantime as quickly as the gun
ners on each craft could load and aim.
One SHOT that hit the Foyle tore hole
through the well deck, just aft of mid
ships, and caused damage which cost
about $1,000 to repair. A little farther
forward and the shot might have crippled
the steamer so that she would have fall
en- easy prey to the Uboat. The other
shot that found its target glanced off
the port side, almost under the bridge,
and Capt. Evans was nearly hit by flying
fragments. Nevertheless he stayed at
his post and kept the ship on the course
he had selected to escape destruction.
After the steamer had raced back on
her course about 27 miles, the submarine
quit the chase and submerged.

fall and winter come, you will have less
reason to complain of the high cost of
living. And, furthermore, you are proud
to be an enthusiast in snowshoeing, ski
ing or skating in winter, and golf or ten
mis- in summer, but to have little care
of the garden, to pull few weeds or
even, il occasion demands, to use the
hoe for a time, will be Just as healthfu
as chasing golf ball over the course or
a tennis ball on hot day, and won't be
any more strenuous. Besides, there is
the pleasure of watching the garden
grow, hunting for the first tiny green
shoots to break through the ground and
then seeing them grow to maturity
Parts of gardening are strictly mans
work, but after the soil has been pre-.
pared and the planting done there is no
reason why it should all be left to the
male sex.

A Grain That We Neglect.

The kernel of the corn is a storehouse
packed with rich food. The germ OF
embryo is rich in oil, placed there for
the use of the terminating seed. Out
side the embryo is mass of starch and
the corn gluten provided for the use OF
the growing plant. The whole package
is nicely wrapped up in a seamless sack,
the corn hull. No other seed or grain is
more richly packed with food or is bet
ter adapted for the most diversified uses.
And yet nearly all of our great corn crop,
the most valuable product of the farm, is
fed to animals and only becomes human
food because indirectly we utilize the
flesh of the corn-fed hog and corn fat
tened steer. About 6OO0O,000 bushels of
corn are used in the manufacture of corn
starch and glucose, or corn syrup.
Germ starch finds many uses as a food.
1t is used by confectioners in the manu-
facture of candies and in the home it is
employed as thickener for sauces and
custards, and in the preparation of ex-
cellent corn starch puddings.
Corn syrup or glucose, which is made
from the pure starch of the corn by treat
ing it with acid in such a way that the
starch is changed into dextrose or grape
sugar, maltrose or malt sugar and dex-
trine, is marketed in many forms. It's
chief uses are in candy making and as
a table syrup.
Corn oil pressed from the germ and
properly refined is becoming a popular
cooking and salad oil. Corn meal or
coarsely ground corn is the foundation
from which Indian pudding, johnny cake
and corn mullins, fried mush and corn
pones are made. Lye hominy or hulled
corn is another popular corn dish. Corn
cooked by steaming. pressed into fine
fakes and dried on hot rollers makes
palatable ready cooked corn breakfast
food.
But although corn is eaten in the form
of starch, syrup, corn flakes, corn meal
and hominy, it forms but a small part
of the food served on the average table
This is not due to any dislike of corn
made preparations or TO any deficiency
Of palatability or wholesomeness.
The reason why corn is not more used
is that il is too common food. says the
Irish World. IL is too cheap. and we
have got into the habit Of thinking that
our foods cannot be both cheap and good.
If the present era of high prices turns
the attention of the consumer toward
corn we viii be well fed and more cheap
ly than on high priced wheat.

BRITISH REGAIN

Ship and Cargo Taken by
the Court from the

ants of the German prize ship Appam at
Newport News, Va, yesterday won theil
suit in the supreme court to regain pos

In sustaining the British libel attach.
ment suits against the Appam and cargo
the court held that the British owners
are entitled to restitution because the
Appam violated American neutrality.
Treaties of 1889 and 1873 between the
United States and Germany, the court
held, do not entitle German prizes I'M

of American courts over the Appam was
upheld
Findings of Federal Judge Waddil of
Virginia that the Appam violated Amer
lean neutrality after being brought into
Hampton Roads a year ago by Capt.
Hans Berg and German prize crew
were sustained and approved by the
court.
Werner Horns Appeal Fails.
Werner Horn, the German reservist
lieutenant who dynamited the interna
tional bridge near Vanceboro, Me-, in
1915, yesterday lost his habeas corpus
suit in the supreme court in which he
sought TO avoid being tried at Boston for
alleged transportation OF explosives on
passenger trains.
The court did not decide Horns con,
tentions that, in belligerent act against
Canada, his German army commission
exempted him from American prosecu-
ton and made him punishable only by
the state department. The court said
Horns appeal was not authorized, and
dismissed it.
Tariff Concession Illegal
The clause in the tariff law granting
5 per cent discount in duties TO imports
brought in American ships or ships of
nations with which the United States

and vigor to this nation by producing
and developing many millions of ath--

to Withstand the hardships and stren-
uous tasks before them, writes Jack
skelly in The Yonkers HERALD.
No army is in proper fighting con-
dition for battle except it Is composed
OF thoroughly trained athletes. The
military authorities of both Germany
and Japan especially realized this
very important fact many years ago.
and have trained their soldiers from
very early age, to fit them for phys
teal endurance and fl1e muscular con-
dition. 80
Baseball, football and other sport
competitions may help the soldier or
sailor in getting into battling condl-
tion, and keep away the dull, monot-
onous, humdrum Of a military or na-
val camp. But thrilling boxing con-
tests beats all recreation for the boys.
Besides It not only develops the phys
zeal form but instills individual
gameness and the real aghtings spirit
in every red-blooded sea or land war
rior.
Boxing is bound to become the most
popular sport in all our American
camps. There will be many competi-
tions and bouts held between the
champions Of different regiments and
naval crews. Out Of the vast number
of enlisted young men there will arise
many great boxers. When our sol
diers go abroad they most likely Will
meet in competitive bouts many OF
the most expert French, English and
Australian boxers These contests
will give them more valuable expert
