WHEN DADDY SINGS.

When Daddy sings he keeps his chin
Pressed tight against his chest,
And just before the folks begin
He gives his voice a test,
And growis 900, do" first high, then
low
To see which way sounds best
When Daddy sings it makes him frown
Or wrinkle up his nose.
He waves one finger up and down
The way the music goes;
And when the song lasts very long
He rises on his toes.
"Black Joe" and "Cradle of the Deep"
He growls then extra strong.
/ don't see why he cares a heap
Whatever words belong;
You just hear "Tum ii iddy UNI"
When Daddy sings a song.

FIGHTING IN THE AIR
PUSHED BY BRITISH
HUNDREDS OF GERMAN PLANES
BROUGHT DOWN DURING PAST
MONTH OF FIGHTING.
Some of the Most Desperate Air Bat
ties of the Entire War Fought in
the Past Few Days, Thirty
Planes Destroyed in Day.

London.-The recent IulI in the fight
ing has had no effect whatever upon
the British aerial offensive, which con-
tinues day and night with unrelenting
intensity. In the last few days there
have been witnessed some of the most
desperate air battles Of the entire war
One or two of these have been fought
at the unprecedented height of 10000
feet, or more than three and One-haIf
miles from the earth.
Recently there was duel in which
a British pilot, having run out of am
munition for his machine gun, got close
enough to his antagonist to shoot him
down with his revolver. This Incl
dent served to recall the fact that when
the war began the only weapons which
aerial pilots had were pistols and car
bines.
A notable feature Of the air fighting
in the last ten days has been the ten
dency of the German airplanes to
break in pieces soon after being shot
out of control.
The toll of German planes destroyed
in May will mount far into the hun
dreds. In last Sundays fighting alone
thirty were counted. Fifteen were
seen to crash to the ground, fourteen
were driven down completely out Of
control and one was shot down by ar
tillery.

GERMANY OFFERS
SEPARATE PEACE
RUSSIAN AUTHOR EXPOSES PLOT
OF TEUTONS TO PUT RUSSIA
OUT OF THE WAR.
Differ Made to Evacuate Occupied
Russian Territory Without the
Expenditure of Another Drop
of Russian Blood.

Petrograd.-Maxim Gorky, the noted
| Russian author, publishes a sensational
account of an attempt by d. Rizow
| he Bulgarian minister at Berlin, to
nveigle him into clandestine negotia-
lions for a separate peace.
The peace proposal, Gorky declares,
was delivered to him at Petrograd in
duplicate by two German agents, act
ng individually.
In the Novai Zhizm, of which GOrky
S the editor, he prints Rizow's secret
dispatch, occupying three columns.
with concrete peace proposals, and, al
.hough he himself is an almost fanati-
al advocate of peace, denounces
Rizow.
Rizow begins by procIaiming that
already in January he had approached
he Russian ministers at Stockholm
md Christiania with a proposal to
conclude, ian honorable peace" be
tween Russia and her foes. He re-
.eived a rebuff. Immediately after
The revolution, RizOw renewed his at
tempt with the. Russian minister at
Jhristania, who was an old acquaint-
ance, and obtained, through the min
!ster, a reply from Professor Paul Mi
.ukoff, then the foreign minister in the
temporary government, thai there
could be no question of separate
peace.
Notwithstanding his two repulses,
RizOw, representing himself as Rus
'ia's real friend, now approaches his
acquaintance, Maxim Gorky He at
tempts to refute successfully the argu-
nents custOmarily used by the Rus
slams and the allies against separ-
ate peace. He offers to guarantee that
Germany and Austria will not again
undertake an offensive against free
Russia and adds that both powers are
willing to evacuate the occupied ter
,itory without the expenditure of an
other drop of Russian blood.
He declares that Germany and Aus
tria in no wise menace Russia's new
freedom. He accuses England of be-
ng the real militarist state, not Ger
many, and declares that Russia has no
moral obligation to keep her treaty
With the allies, because treaty breaking
has been common in the present war.

PLANS TO REDUCE
PROFITS ON FOOD
HOPE TO STABILIZE PRICES BY
LUBRIcATING CHANNELS
OF DISTRIBUTION.
This Will Be Undertaken BY Cutting
Down the Margin Between Pro-
Queer and Consumer, is the
Hope of Hoover.

Washington.-Re of the pres
ent high prices the consumer pays for
food, it was announced May %, will
be one Of the aims of the new food adj
minisrration which will be created
with Herbert C. Hoover at its head
as soon as congress passes the gov
ernment's food control legislation.
This will be undertaken by cutting
down the margin between producer
and consumer through a system of ex-
ecutives under the central administra-
ton, each to study means Of shorten
ing the speculative chain that handles
a particular commodity. The first
staples to be studied probably will be
grain, -four, meat and sugar.
Stability of prices. Mr.. Hoover be-
lieves, is vital to the successful lOVser-
here and abroad. The executives will
have under them boards, on which will
be represented producer, middleman
and consumer. Their efforts will be
in the direction of modification of pres
ent trade methods and the stimulation
of production.
The system of executive boards will
be one of several divisions into which
the administration will be divided.
One duty of the executives will be to
advise on allied purchasing, which Mr..
Hoover and government officials hope
will be removed from a competitive
basis when the allies have established
permanent buying commissions here.
These commissions are to agree on
their minimum food needs for presen-
tation to a central buying commission
er, who in turn will deal direct with
the American food administration.
The food administration, through its
commodity executives, will ascertain
just what the country can spare in
food staples, and this will be Daranced
off against the allied demands.

ENEMY SUBMARINES
COLLIDE IN CHANNEL
GERMAN u-8oAT RAMS BRITISH
SUBMARINE WHILE BOTH
ARE SUBMERGED.
According to Story of Unprecedented
Happening, German Vessel Was
Brought to Top and Then Slid
Off Into the Water.

Amsterdam.-A collision under water
between a British submarine and a
German U-boat is reported by the
Rheinische Westfalische Zeitung of
Essen, which describes the incident as
unprecedented. The paper states that
the collision took place sin the chan
neI' April 10, and declares that a Ger
man submarine while submerged
rammed British submarine and that
the British boat then emerged, bring
ing up the German lying across the
bow of the British vessel.
The German vessel slid off into the
water and both vessels started their
engines, and when separated by fifty
yards both dived. The commander of
the German vessel did not see the
British submarine again.
The paper asserts that both subma-
rines were anxious to night, but that
it was impossible under the circum-
stances.

RED CROSS VOLUNTEER

The "big men" of the United
States have set a fine example of real
patriotism to all of their fellow citi-
zens, rich and poor alike. Take, for
instance, the cases of important rail-
road heads, the leading business men,
the great industrial chiefs, the noted
professional men, who have Joined va
rious boards and organizations that
will help the government conduct the
war. All of US know about Herbert @.
Hoover, the American who kept the
Belgians from starving for more than
two years and is now food controller
of the United States. But not all of
us know about Eliot Wadsworth.
Mr. Wadsworth is a civil engineer
of noted achievement. When it seemed
imminent that America would join
the entente allies, Wadsworth went
to the Red Cross and offered free his
expert services for organization work.
He was accepted. Now he is acting
chairman of the central committee of
the Red Cross with offices in Washingt

TERRIBLE TOLL OF ToRNADoEs.
Four Hundred Dead as Result of
Week of Storms.

Chicago.-At least 400 persons were
killed and more than 2O0O injured in
a series of tOrnadoes and cyclones
that swept ten middle western and
southern states in the week ending
June 1. Destructive windstOrms had
taken heavy toll of life nearly every
twenty-four hours since the first cy-
clone swept Andale, Kan, killing 20
on May %.
Two more tornadoes were reported
June l. Several persons were injured
in a tornado that struck Viola, KY,
near Paducah. Another tornado
passed through the country south of
Guthrie, Okla, injuring many persons.
Delayed dispatches from Texas re-
ported the killing of two persons at
Pittman and probable loss of life at
Lindsey in a tornado on June 1.
Poplar Bluff, Mo-, reported a total
of 81 killed and 300 injured in wind
storms in southeastern Missouri on
May 30.

PROPOSES COALITION MINISTRY
Canadian Premier Calls on Sir Wilfred
Laurier for Aid.

Ottawa.-Premier Borden called
upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Opposi-
ton leader, on June 1, and asked his
assistance in forming a coalition min
istry.
1t was reported upon reliable author
ity that the premier offered Sir Wilfrid
to name half the members of the new
government and to grant the Liberals
authority equal to that given the Con-
servatives on all questions of admin
istratiOn.
The condition attached to the pro-
posal was that if voluntary enlistment,
after fair trial. did not provide the
number of men necessary to keep the
Canadian divisions now in overseas
service up to strength, a measure of
compulsory service should be put into
effect.

NAVYS BIG BOSS

The big boss of the navy is Adj
miraI William S. Benson, chief of
operations, the real head of the navy,
saving always the presence of Jo-
sephus Daniels.
But Admiral Benson is something
of a mythical character, hidden away
in the great building at Washington,
discussing, planning, theorizing, prob
ably anxious to get into action but
unable to do so. The trust of people
along the Atlantic seaboard must be
placed in Henry T. Mayo, commander
of the Atlantic fleet, upon whom falls
the burden of maintaining an efficient
patrol from Maine to Florida. All the
officially designated areas of danger
must be carefully looked after by the
vessels under command of Admiral
Mayo and unguarded points along the
coast where an enemy force might
land and wreak some of their useless
spite must be protected as well.

Washington.-The administrations

propriates $14,7TO,OOO for an immediate
investigation of the country's food re-
sources and for measures to stimulate
production.
The agricultural department expects
to present Il fairly accurate estimate OF
food resources within three weeks af-
ter the bill is signed by the president,
Secretary Houston said. AS soon as the
measure becomes a law the department
will start its 1900 employees and the
10000 voluntary crop reporters to
work on the investigation. The pre-
liminary report to be made within
three weeks will be supplemented
with monthly reports and probably
by further complete report within
six months if necessary.
Information gathered will be turned
over to Herbert c. Hoover, who will be
named to head u food administration
as soon as the pending regulatory food
measure becomes law.
The survey bill passed virtually as
it came from the committee. Miss
Rankin, the woman representative
from Montana, inserted an amendment
which would require the department OF
agriculture to use women in the sur
vey work whenever practicable. An
amendment by Representative McKen-
zie of Illinois, would make all persons
employed under the bill liable to mill
tary service and another would per-
nit citizens to refuse to go more than
300 miles from their homes or places
of business to testify in food in
quiry.

TWO IDAHO CHILDREN DROWNED
Girls Playing on Banks of River Fall
in and Are Swept Away.

Lewiston, IdahO.-The flood waters
of the Clearwater river claimed two
victims on Wednesday,, Eleanor, -
years old, and Uretta, years old,
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin Boy
er of Lewiston.
The father was catching driftwood
from the stream and the girls were
playing nearby. He heard an Outcry
and turned to see the arms of one of
the girls above the surface of the
water, near the shore. No trace of
the other was observed.
The current is strong there and the
bodies were undoubtedly swept down
stream. Theory is that one of the
girls fell into the river and the other
attempted a rescue.
