they merely did SO in order that they
might enjoy the luxury of a meal

mighty good at the training camp, they
report, but even the best camp that

TWO ZEPPELlNS LOST,
REPORTS INDICATE

COPENHAGEN. May 10. via London
Destruction of the Zeppelin L-22. re-
ported without details in an official
British announcement Monday. occurred
off Esbjerg. within sight of the Danish
coast, according to the accounts Of eye
witnesses 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 reported
from Holland at a point too distant to
cover the same case. The loss Of the
second airship is attributed to light
ming.
The L-2e was seen Off Esbjerg while
making one of the customary daily OBJ
servation tours up and down the coast of
Jutland. 1t was engaged by British
force, which, presumably, was looking
for German destroyers. 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 BOOM
Eye-witnesses saw the airship dart
inward after the first round of shots.
Then they heard a second salvo. The
zeppelin ehdeavored to maneuver itself
out of range, but with the third broad
side it went down, mortally hit. At first
it sank slowly and then plunged down
at great speed into the sea below the
horizon.

SECRETARY EXPLAINS STAND.
Tells Why He Opposed Plan to Buy
Nitrates for Farms.

Secretary Houston yesterday ex-
planned his objection to a project for
the government to purchase nitrate for
sale to the country's farmers on the
ground that the investment would be a
poor one for growers because of high
nitrate prices. In a telegram to an in
quirer the Secretary said:
IT am not opposed to the importation
of nitrate or the use of nitrate II 1T
could be secured at prices which would
justify investment. I have ex-
pressed doubt as to the wisdom of the
average farmer investing in nitrates at
prices at which 1T could be obtained,
namely SIS to $50 ton. Experts doubt
whether in such circumstances nitrate
could be used profitably except by very
skillful farmers"
Chilean nitrates. Mr.. Houston says,
are obtainable this year in small quan-
titles at high prices and the shortage
of ocean tonnage makes 1t impractical
BILE to get 1t. The Senate has passed a
bill appropriating $10,000,000 for gov
ernment purchase of nitrates, but the
measure has been held up by objections

office, "tell their people We aimed at
breaking through and that consequent
ly we have made a costly failure and
they an equally valuable success.
LAS a matter of fact, we didn't aim
at breaking through, but at certain
which. with the exception of Fresnoy,
we did attain. Our aim has been to
force the Germans to fight and use up
their reserves. and we have done it.
"At the opening Of the offensive the
Germans had forty-nine fresh divisions
in reserve: only four of them now are
left. The strength of each of these
fresh German reserve divisions was
about 10000. Statements attributed to
the French high command have recent
the German divisions had been reduced
to not much over 10000 men,
"The Germans are circulating stories
that we have sustained enormous
losses. But where you methodically
and carefully prepare for an attack,
with powerful artillery and every 9TH
err expedient. the loss is far less to the
attackers than to the defenders.
ION the other hand, in the past fort
night the Germans have attacked far
oftener than we. because we are fore

are made necessarily without method
