SOLDIERS ARE MOVING FAST
Biggest Troop Movement in History of
Country Now on-civiIian
Trains Sidetracked.

Washington, April 17.-Probably the
biggest troop movement in the history
OF the country is the response of the
United States to appeals from the al
lies for men to fill the gaps created by
the great struggle on the west front.
Almost simultaneously with the latest
plea, that of Foreign Secretary Bal
four before the American labor mis-
sion in London, it was stated by adj
ministration leaders that there is the
utmost qualification with the speed at
which troops are going forward. In
the training areas, where the big move
ment is in progress, everything is
being sidetracked to permit the SOL
der trains free passage.
IN certain districts no civilian pas
senger trains have moved for many
hours, it was revealed.

Crews of Vessels Are Rescueo--Opera.
tons Undertaken by Commander
of Grand Fleet

London, April 17.-Ten German
traWlers have been sunk by gunfire in
the Kattegat (between Sweden and
Denmark, the admiralty announces.
Their crews were saved by British
ships, There were no British casual
ties.
The operations in Il e Kattegat, the
statement says, were undertaken by
the commander in chief OF the grand
fleet. Following is the statement:
THE commander in chief of the
grand fleet reports having undertaken
to sweep the Kattegat on April Is.
Ten German trawlers were sunk by
gunfire, their crews being saved by
British ships. There were no British
casualties"
The Kattegat, the channel lying be-
tween Denmark and Sweden, has sol
dom been invaded by the British fleet
because of danger from mines in it
and in the Skager-Rak, between Nor
way and Denmark, which must first
be traversed. The allusiop to the spe-
cial direction of the commander in
chief of the grand fleet may indicate
that the daring enterprise is the first
step IN larger operation-possibly a
move against the German warships in
their lair within the Baltic.

BE POTATO
PATRIOT

We need to raise potatoes and to
sell potatoes, but most Of all we need
to eat potatoes.
The more potatoes we eat, the less
bread we shall need, and the more
wheat we shall be able to send to our
armies and allies. Our supply Of
wheat -four was never lower and
every pound we can spare is needed
by our soldiers and our allies.
If you will not eat potatoes now,
when they are cheap and plentiful,
and when the grower is in danger Of
actual loss on his crop, what right
will you have to complain about po-
5ato prices next year, when the grow
sr turns to some other crop in order
to make up his losses?
A big potato crop is the best in
surance against hunger and famine.
The Irish earned the name Of the
lighting people Of the world-and the
Irish diet has often been milk and
potatoes.
We cannot ship potatoes in quantity,
but we can ship wheat. Let US eat
our potatoes at home and ship our
wheat to the men abroad. Every po-
tato we eat releases wheat for the
boys in France.
Eat potatoes. The supply is plent:-
ful, the price reasonable. Eating pc
tatoes will be the means Of saving
bread.
