RAIDER SIGHTED
Captain of Standard Oil Tanker Sure
of His Statement.
CIV Associated Press.)

New York, May 1.-The captain Of
a Standard Oil tank steamship, which
arrived here. said he had no doubt
but that mysterious vessel which he
sighted Thursday night and Friday
morning off the Virginia coast was the
German raider Seeadler. The tanker
was coming from Mexico bringing oil
and towing a barge also laden with
oil. Shortly before o'clock, Thursday
night, according to the captains log
the bark was sighted fifteen miles
south of the Diamond Shoals lightship
off Cape Hatteras.
The bark steered across the tanker's
stern and disappeared.
At 1880 a. M, Friday. she returned
the captain said. and came alongside
Forty-five minutes after being sighted
she had passed close across the tank
er's bow and disappeared. In marine
circles here little credence has been
placed in reports that the Seeadler
was operating off the North American
coast.

RECLAMATION
PROJECTS In
ITALY VITAL
It's Prosperity Depends on
Draining Marshes, Irriga-
ton and Water Power.
(BY Associated Press.l


Rome, May 1.-The prosperity OF
,, Italy after the war depends upon the
solution Of three great engineering
problems, in the opinion Of Professor
Luigi luigi, president of the Italian
Society of Civil Engineers. These three
problems. he stated in an address here
this week, are: The reclamation OF
marsh lands, the irrigation OF semi
arid tracts. and the more complete
utilization of water power, especially
In the production Of chemical fertiliz-
ers for the soil
The chief interest of the United
States In Professor Luiggi's program
is found in his statement that 1t will
require large sums Of foreign capital,
some of which Italy hopes to draw
from America
During the last five years OF peace,
said Professor luigi. nearly 100000
of the best elements OF our rural popu-
lation left their native villages to
seek better conditions of labor across
the Atlantic, or, worse still, in middle
Europe. This excess of emigration is q
drawback to the progress Of Italy and
of the Latin races, as France has no
Increase at all in her population, while
the Teutonic races increase very rap
idly.
ITO reduce emigration 1t is neces-
sary to offer to intending emigrants
work better paid and in healthier con-
ditions. This can be done by develop
ing the natural resources OF Italy,
many Of which are still lying dormant
or are not yet completely utilized.
"By improving agricultural methods.
putting in cultivation land that now
lies idle-either through excess OF wa
ter or for lack of it-that is. by drain
ing marshes and irrigating many
semi-arid regions, especially in the
south lands now almost sterile would
be blessed by the most luxuriant crops.
Also hydro-electric power should be
utilized better for the production OF
nitrates and other fertilizers and for
developing many industries connected
with agricultural products.
There should also be better means
of transport, by rail, by road. and by
water The sanitary and social condt-
tions of the rural centers OF popula-
ton should be improved by better wa
ter supplies, better sewage. better
housing, and better schooling.
"All these problems involve numer-
GUS and important engineering works,
and require large initial outlay or
capital, to be refunded. including
yearly interest, in about thirty to fifty
years.
Upon the development Of our nat
ural resources along the lines / have
Indicated" concluded the professor,
depends the possibility Of realizing
an Italian population of 100000 to
$4,000, 900 inhabitants, which is neces-
sary to the British Latin Slav union
to keep peace in Europe. Outside A.
nancial cooperation is of course
desideratum. Towards this co-opera-
ton we must tend all our efforts"

.
The home canning specialists /of the
U. s. department Of agriculture urge
every h0usekeeper to save bottles
especially wide necked ones-for put
ting up fruits, preserves, jeIlies, jams
and fruit juices. Saving of bottles is
highly important, they say, as there
threatens to be a serious shortage OF
regular jars and preserving cans this
season.
The fruit products named. if sealed
with corks and paraffin, can be kept
perfectly in these makeshift contain
ers. Jellies, jams, and preserves can
be kept even in ordinary drinking
glasses, by the use of paper and paraf-
fin. Fruit juices should be packed in
ordinary small Knocked bottles.
Vegetables, soups and meats, on the
other hand, to keep must be sealed by
the usual fruit jar or tin-can packing
methods. Reserve regular containers
for foods that can not be packed in
bottles.
The specialists are also urging all
members of canning clubs and others
not only to can products, but to dry
and evaporate all such products as
apples, pumpkin and squash. They adj
wise strongly that If containers are
scarce locally, those in stock should
be used to preserve perishable prod
uCLS WHICH nave the HIGHEST nulfiJINe
value. Nothing should be packed in
jars or cans which can be conserved
effectively in other ways.
Candy containers or other glass
jars with screw tops or glass shoppers,
and in fact any receptacle of glass,
crockery or porcelain. can be sealed
with cork or paper and paraffin.
Large tin cahisters or tin cans with
removable covers, provided the body

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The suggestion has been made in the
east that it would seem a very con-
siderable saving in needed munitions
If the United States would celebrate
the Fourth Of July this year without
the usual noisy demonstrations. Nat
urally with the country at war there
will be a tendency to let FER go just
about the dawn Of July 4th in a good,
rousing old-fashioned outburst OF
patriotism.
But-wouldn't it be good plan to
utilize that outburst of energy where
1t win do the most good. in the trench-
es in Europe, and to work out our own
enthusiasm with hoe and spade in the
garden plots?

RUSSIAN PARADE
Thousand Wounded Soldiers
Appeal to Populace to
Fight is Out.
tBy Associated Press.l

Petrograd. May /. - An anti-paci-
fist procession, comprised of some
1000 MANNED, bandaged and GONZALES
cent soldiers on foot or in motor lor-
ries, assembled Sunday morning out
side the cathedral despite the keen
frost, and paraded the streets to the
strains of "the Marseillaisep, scores Of
one-legged men bearing military dec
orations, bravely hobbled along on
their crutches while many others were
glad to accept the helping arms of
nurses. The banners carried in the
procession bore inscriptions inviting
"Lenine and company to get back
to William"
The procession augmented quickly
on its way to the duma building and
by the time it had reached the Amer
lean embassy there were tens OF thous-
ands OF persons in line. David r..
Francis, the American ambassador,
delivered several addresses from the
balcony.
Mr.. Francis said the joy of Amer
lean freemen in the attainment OF
Russian liberty was only second to the
joy of the Russians themselves. RUS
STA and the United States, he added,
were fighting shoulder to shoulder for
the vindication OF human rights. the
ambassador said he could not imagine
the possibility OF a separate peace by
Russia which would involve the loss
of all the people had gained.
M. Rodzianko, president of the
duma, who was in the crowd, was in
vited into the embassy where he stood
beside Ambassador Francis and led in
the cheering for the ambassador of the
United States.
Nikolai Lenine. the radical Socialist
leader, who recently has been inti-
mately connected with the attempts to
bring about separate peace for Rus
STA. and to whom the inscriptions on
the banners in the parade referred,
was to have attended a great meeting
of troops in the drill hall Of the grena-
der guards Saturday evening, but did
not appear.

COMMUNICATION
DOUBLING TEAMS

DOUBLING TEAMS
FOR UNCLE SAM.
One of our college boys was talking
many of them frequently do, on the
subject of enlisting. He showed the
deepest feeling and declared that IL he
felt free to follow his own inclination
he would join the army at once. But
he had run in debt in going as far as
he had in college and dreaded also to
sacrifice the time so precious for edu-
cational purposes unless it was abso-
lutely certain that he would be needed
soon for actual fighting. He was try
ing to settle the question of delay or
immediate enlistment.
A little earlier had heard a we'll
to-do citizen. beyond the military age,
remark that since ne couldn't 20 him.
self he certainly would help someone
else to do so.
Now. it occurs to me. that here is a
splendid chance for cooperation in
patriotic service to our nation. There
are hundreds Of students in North Da-
kota working their way fully or in
part through college. Many of them,
like this young man, have gone in debt
in order to complete q course or to
keep their school life continuous for
a year or two. One OF these school
years Is worth TO such young man
two or three times as much as q year
later. IL he sacrifices such precious
time for his country. surely some man
with money ahead ought to set him
free from the debt that would hold him
back
I suggest that men who cannot join
the fighting line look up these OPP
portunities. for lessening in some
degree the sacrifices Of one Of these
splendid young men who wish to do
