mercial stocks of wheat this year and
last should be considered in connec-
ton with the stocks still remaining
on the farms. No figures are avail
able with reference to the estimated
stocks on farms for April l. How
ever, figures previously issued by the
department show that the estimated
stocks on farms for March !, 1918,
were greater than for the same date
a year earlier, being II 1 $50 900 bush:
els as against 100,660,O0O bushels. AT

: SIX GERMAN PLANES
DOWNED THURSDAY
Paris, May 10. Six Ger
man aeroplanes were brought
down yesterday by Sub Lieu
tenant Rene Fonck, the war
office announces.
Lieutenant Funck's achievement Of
yesterday has never been equalled. He
is the greatest air battler since the
death of Captain Guynemer.

Lieutenant Funck, who recently
took a leading place among the French
aces, was credited unofficially nearly
a month ago with having shot down
thirty-four German machines. He is
described as a remarkably cool and
daring fighter. Recently he fought
two German machines in a squadron
Of eight telling one Of them and put
ting the other to flight
"A year ago Lieutenant Funck was
unknown as fighting aviator. He
entered aerial service as a pilot Al
ter more than five hundred hours of
flight over the line and two victories
over German aeroplanes, which had
attempted to interfere with his OBJ
servation work, he was sent into a
squadron Of pursuit planes. Eight
days later, May 13, III, he became an
ace, being cited officially as having
destroyed his fifth aeroplane. He is
% years old.

WOMEN HELD CAPTIVE
BY GERMANS 4 YEARS
Americans Rescue Eighty Shack
led in Dugouts-Female
Gunners Caught

Proof of the Germans utter lack of con-
sideration for women even their own is
contained in two Soldiers' letters recently re-
ceiNed here One describes the rescue of
eighty French women held caDtfv,a for four
years. shackled in dugouts. The other tells
OF the capture of German women forced to
serve as machine gunners.
Nothing but uncondino nonal surrender will
satisfy American soldiers, to Judge from the
letter sent by Lieutenant Robert L. Boyd Jr.,
of the Ninetyfirst Aeria! Squadron to his
mother. lie writes:
81 see by tonIgnts paper that Austria asks
for peace. | trust she shall only be grant ed
it by the bullet and sword. II would be n
crime against the world to stop now until
victory is made certain b" force of arms. No
shells or gunfire are too good for the Huns
They deserve all that can be given them,
and even then they will not be repaid for the
wrong they have done the world. It's not
the Kaiser alone, it's all Germany. They
have fought since the cradle, and now in
their old age they are beginning to fall.
Yesterday in small village eighty
French women found liberty for the first
time in four years Since the war started. in
1914, they have been confined, chained and
shackled in dugouts by the Huns, For four
years they have been victims of the German
soldiers. Two days ago American guntire
liberated them from their dungeons
Back home some people say the German
people good at heart and only the Kaiser
should be made to pay. Turn deaf ear TO
such people. God or man has not created
invented anything 80 e that we call
Hun.
''From the little dugout from which the
eighty French women emerged the Ianks
brought back their masters"
Additional substantiation of the reports
that German women are being pressed into
service as machine gunners is furnished by
Sergeant j. Magee, of West Conshohocken,
who is with the 1o3d Ammunition Train, III
the Iron Division.
He writes that he was sent recently with
a group of mechanics to the front line to
repair the sights on big guns captured from
the Germans. when they We're returning a
nest of machine eunners opened fire on them.
Some of the boys were killed and the
sergeant was wounded The boys finally
captured the gunners and found them to be
women.

RURAL MINISTER'S
TO LEARN FARMING
Methodist Board Plans to Equip
Preachers for Teaching
Agriculture

Methodist ministers and their families are
TO be taught scientific farming. The Metho-
dist Episcopal Church has undertaken to
spend S5,bOO.OOO in training rural ministers
to teach farming and develop social activity
IN country districts. The purpose as an
nounced by the board Of home missions and
church extension. is to keep the farmers on
the farms and thus help to win the war
Dissatisfaction with country life il is de-
clared. has caused a decrease of rural popu-
lation in several States. The boys and girls
VIII not stay on the farm when high wages
are to be earned in big industries
To combat this, the Methodist Church is
planning to send many of it's best men 10
the country churches of which it has up-
ward Of 900. Rural pastors are to have
special haining in agriculture SO as to help
farmers with advice Demonstration farms
are to be established where agricultural col
leges do not meet the needs.
Associations Of rural ministers to put these
plans into effect already have been started in
Ohio. West Virginia. iowa, South Dakota
Pennsylvania and Nebraska. Chairs of rural
sociology to teach how to be happy though
living on the farm have been established in
theological seminaries and plans are making
to start similar courses in colleges
