REGULARITY OF SHOTS
NIGHT MEAN SALUTE
Although War Vessels i'm
Active Duty Are Not Per-
mitted Thus to Reveal
Their Positions - Firing
Indicated to Some People
That an Engagement Was
Being Fought

Boston, April ls.-Threc coast guard
stations, at Race Point, Peaked Hill Bar
and High Head, reported to the navy de-
partment to-day that they heard heavy
firing off the coast this morning, The
three stations are near Provincetown.
The firing apparently came from a
point just outside OF Massachusetts, bay
at the end of Cape Cod The reports to
the navy department did not state that
any vessels had been sighted, and ofii-
cials said it probably Indicated that a
naval engagement was in progress.
The firing, according to reports from
the stations, lasted about 30 minutes
and then ceased. Attempts to learn
something more definite failed and ex-
plantations of the firing awaited reports
from the war vessels in the vicinity.
Meantime steps were taken to meet any
emergency. The navy yard has no in
formation except that received from the
coast guard stations.

firing was heard off the tip Of Cape Cod

active duty were not permitted thus to
reveal their positions.

HOOVER PREDICTS MEAT FAMINE.
Food Administer Warns Of Grave DAN
ger in Threatened Shortage.

Washington, Aug. 21-Herbert Hoov-
er warns America that the world faces
a meat famine. And "a high range Of
prices for meat and animal products for
many years to come" confronts this
country, he said.
He cited figures to prove that tho
nations cattle. sheep and hogs are
dwindling rapidly under the demands
of war. and in allied Europe threaten
to be wiped out entirely.
Fabulous high prices in Europe and
America will extend to lard, butter,
cheese. leather, fats oils and woods.
Mr.. Hoover advocated government
control of this country's meat exports.
He called upon Americas live stock
breeders to at once lay plans for enor-
mously increased herds and Hocks. He
pleads that all rich, well-to-do middle
class, and other non-manual laborers
in the United States greatly reduce
their meat consumption and leave
more for the fighting men and male
and female war workers Of allied lands.
Measures to stabilize sugar prices
were discussed by Mr.. Hoover with a
committee from the New York Coffee
and Sugar Exchange. which stopped
sugar futures trading last week at Mr..
Hoover's request. Prices have advanced
sharply within the last few months.
The food administration plans to take
control Of sugar dealing as soon as it
has completed program for supervis-
ing wheat trading and flour and bread
Transfer of thousands of head Of
cattle from the dry sections of Texas
and other southwestern states to graz
ing lands OF southern states east of the
Mississippi will be one of the first
tasks undertaken by a joint commit
tee appointed by the department Of

ton.

DEFENSE SOCIETY ISSUES WARN
ING SAYING ATROCITIES
NAY BE EXPECTED.
NATION URGED TO PLAN
FOR MIGHTY EFFORT
American Troops Soon to Be Under
Fire and Sailors on High Seas Fac
ing Attack by SubmarInes-Task OF
Conducting War Already Hindered
by Traitors.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-That German
atricities now may be expected to be
practiced upon Americans is warn
ing contained in an open letter to the
America people from the American
Defense society.
"Germany's military success beyond
her own borders" the letter says, tine
virtual collapse of Russia; the continu-
ing destruction of allied commerce by
U-boats: and enemy activity in this
country, combined with recently ac-
luired information regarding Prusslan
war aims and Prussian methods of war
fare, are matters to which the trustees
of the American Defense, society re-
specially invite the attention of the
American people. ------ -
Our troops soon will be under fire
in France. Our sailors on the high seas
are facing the attack Of submarines. We
have established line of troop ships.
The national guard has been called in
TO federal service. We are building
enormous army camps. We have reg
istered 100000 young men for mill
tary service. '-' - .'-."
Foe Trebles Recruiting Capacity.
Since August, 1914, German military
forces have trebled their recruiting ca
pacity. Today it is well that we pay
heed to these things: above all, when
we find standard German writings filled
with dreams of world dominion. The
danger is one that threatens the imme-
d;ate safety and future Of our people
and our democracy.
mo longer is it possible, either, for
us to ignore the methods Of war en-
ployed by the enemy. German atroci-
ties it may within reason be expected,
are now being practiced upon Ameri-
cans.
in the preparation for such uncivil-
lied warfare the German nation today
is modified to the last man and WON :,
an, and If America is to win this war
and to De saved from the horrors suf-
fered by Belgium and France, America
must mobilize, not only at the front,
but her men and women at home as
well.
