TRANSPORTS GUARDED BY
 SIMS THRO' WAR ZONE

j Washington. June 2s-The ships safely through the war zone were under command of an American of- ficer--vice- Admiral William s. Sims, according to word received today. There were indications that it was especially for this purpose that Vice. Adiral Sims was given temporary command of a patrol fleet in British. waters, many of the units of which were. American warships-
 While the situation later lighted itself, premature publication of the announcement of the arrival of two contingents of American troops in France, as authorized by the Com mittee oh Public Information, last night led Secretary of War Baker to make one of the most important deci- sions in regard to censorship yet taken by the government
 He took entirely out of the hands of the Committee on Public Infor- nation, the handling of military in- formation. The committee has estaib-
 lished Bureau. of Wise to pass on all news stories about which there might be question whether the pubM- cation would be advisable.
 This bureau was administered by two civilians unacquainted with mili- tary matters. It was one of these who approved of the arrival of American troops in France before the move ment was completed.
 | This serious mistake led to Secre- tary Baker's action. At long con- ference late in the afternoon with newspaper correspondents, the Secre- itargy announced that Brigadier- Gen. eral Frank Mcintyre would be con- stituted the final arbiter on all ques- | tions of publication of troop move
 nents, and that no other source had lthe right to approve of the publica- i ton of military matters. He further stated that any question dealing with l troops or their movements would not
 be permitted to be printed until Gen. eral Mcintyre had given his approval l and that as large a staff as necessary would be supplied General Mcintyre ! to aid him in the work

 organized, of expanding the Regular
 Army to full war strength, of prepar- ing and recruiting the National guard
 for war was at hand.
 General Pershing dropped into the Department and set up the first head quarters of the American expedition ary forces in a little office, hardly large
 enough to hold himself and his per
 sonal staff. There, with the aid of the
 general staff, of Secretary Baker and fthe chiefs of the War Department bu- reaus. the plans were worked out. Announcement of the sending of the force under General Pershing was
 made May 1S The press gave the 1 news to the country, and there were daily stories. There came day when lPershing was no longer in the depart ment Officers of the general stan suddenly were missing from their l'desks. No word of this was reported. Then came word from England that Pershing and his officers were there. lAll was carried through without pub- licity.
 The regiments that were to go with General Pershing were all selected be- fore he left and moving toward the tSScN5NcsoI 41O1il lu6 DOIV1ST.s OuuGI TeE1- Ements also were moving North, East and West to the points where they were to be expanded, and the move s1ents of tAe troops who were to be

 ports, loaded with men and guns and lsent to sea, and all, with virtually no Imentionl from the press.
 The Navy. bears it's full share in the achievement. From the time the troop ships left their docks and headed to-
 ward sea. responsibility for the lives oi their thousands of men rested upon the ocers and crews of the fighting ships that moved beside them or swept free the sea lanes before them K As they pushed on through the days and nights toward the danger zone
 where German submarines lay in wait
 every precaution that trained minds of the navy could devise was taken. And the news from France yesterday
 shows that the plans were we'll laid The War Department has had no announcement to make as to General Pershing's disposition to his forces, presumably that has been left to him
 to decide in conference with the
 French General Staff and officials of i the British army.
 The American troops will be an in- dependent force. cooperating with the Allies. It has been suggested that the Americans might be placed be. tween the French and British forces
 as a connecting link. but the exigen- cies of the planned campaign will govern that question.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. July so
Warning to Indiana wheat growers
to beware OF inscriptions dealers sell
ing wheat for seed was issued today
by the Indiana committee on food pro-
duction and conservation. The warn
ing said:
"Unscrupulous dealers already have
agents IN a number Of counties in In
diana selling wheat for seed for which
they are claiming exceptional yielding
power. This game is so old and dar-
ing and has proven false so frequently
It seems that every farmer in the
state would be wise enough TO adhere
TO standard varieties OF wheat
IT was only a few years ago when
variety OF wheat called marvellous
and miracle was sold in Indiana and
Ohio with the claim that one or two
pecks to the, acre was sufficient; in
some cases It was urged that more
than one peck to the acre would re-
duce the yield. In regard to this
wheat the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment station says. This wheat was
seeded according TO directions at the
rate OF one peck to the acre and also
at the rate OF eight pecks in order to
test the validity of the claim. For
was also seeded at both rates. alter
mating with the marvellous. The yields
were as follows: Marvellous seeded at
the rate Of one peck per acre gave
yield OF 7.39 bushels per acre; seeded
at the rate of eight pecks 30.s6 bushels
per acre. Mediterranean seeded at the
rate of one peck pc racre gave yield
OF 1141 bushels; at the rate Of eight
pecks, 1886 bushels
often these highly advertised and
costly varieties sold by dealers are
nothing more than some ordinary
variety with a new name. Reports Of
the work OF these unscrpulous So
called dealers are daily coming to the
attention OF J. c. Beavers. state leader
of the wheat campaign. Purdue has
sent men into various counties of the
state ard has reserved for seed the
fields Of the best wheat. This seed is
not sold for any fancy price and most
OF it will be better than some highly
advertised old variety with a new
name.
IF you are not satisfied with your
own seed wheat. get seed from some
OF the fields selected in your commun-
ity."

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. July So.-The
farm labor situation in Indiana Is nor-
NAL. according to information given
Christie. superintendent OF the extern
sion department Of Purdue University
While there is a slight shortage in
some sections. the situation has been
somewhat relieved by the modern
Maude Mueller's who are working
with rakes and hoes TO increase In
diana's food production
While considerable harvesting al
ready in progress. the general har-
vesting has not started, which may
account to some extent for the nor
NAL farm labor supply. Reports from
county agents so far indicate that the
equals the demand.
Enlistment of school children and
boy scouts in the farm labor move
ment Is said to have proved OF con-
siderable aid in making up the deficit
in the ranks of professional farm
hands, many of whom have volunteer
ed to federal service or will be called
out IN the draft.
A number OF prominent Indiana
farms are urging that men found
physically unsound and discharged
law. but whose defects are OF a minor
nature. be placed on farms This
movement has met with the approval
of county agents and hundreds OF
farmers.

the subject of a lecture today to In

how they may give valuable aid

"a full supply OF fruits and vege-
tables canned from the surplus stocks
that would otherwise waste in fields

can is their contribution to the con-
servation Of our food supply

canning will prevent most spoilage
