Mid-Year Statistics on Production Of
Potash.

The statistics of the production of
potash for the first six months of 1918
received by the United States geological
survey, department Of the interior, to
date show total output of 10000 TO
$4,000 short tons of pure potash (K20l,
indicating that the output for the entire
year may reach $4,000 to 10000 tons.
As only 32,573 tons was produced in
1917 the production is evidently increas-
ing rapidly. The domestic production
now equals 20 to 25 per cent of the nor
NAL domestic consumption before the
war, which is estimated to have been
about 100000 tons. The statistics for
the first half Of the year are not com
plete, for returns have not yet been re-
ceived from few large producers, and
it is possible that the production in 1918
may excel 60000 tons, for report

as requested by General Growder the
night preceding registration. Some 500
persons attended the meeting in city

played several selections preceding the

referred to the bloodthirsty barbarians
of central Europe, the most cruel people
the world has known, not only by ma
ture but by training of cruel kaiser.

which is still under way and how the
troops struck in true American fashion.
He said an example Of patriotism and
sound business Judgment is shown in the
100000 soldiers who have taken over

that the registration of Thursday would

responded to, by every 100 per cent
American man, in the defense of Old
Glory which stands for truth, justice,
humanity and liberty He was frequent
ly applauded. He was followed by
Frank Plumley of Mortified, He said
that if the Declaration of Independence
stood for anything at all, this country
must fight this war to successful end

rule the world. The atrocities which
the Germans are commanded and edueat-
ed to perform are done purely as a mat.

NAVAL DEPARTMENT NOW
TESTING AERIAL BOMBS

Washington, July 24.-Whlle
waiting the result of the official i'll
uuiry into the failure of naval air
plane bombs to explode when drop
ped in the attack by the naval avl-
ators on the German submarine or
the New England coast Sunday, the
navy department is making thor
ough inspection of its entire stock OF
these projectiles to determine the re-
liability of detonation. At the same
time the ordnance bureau of the ma
Wy has taken under consideration the
alteration of the bombs.
Secretary Daniels said today that
very low percentage of bombs
which fail to explode has been dis
covered thus far in the navy's test.
1t was explained that the naval in
quiry is not intended so much to de-
termine the failure of the aviators
to damage the submarine off Orleans,
Mass, as to make certain that the
store of projectiles is ready for eff
cient service. 1t is definitely known
that one of the two bombs dropped
last Sunday struck so far from the
target that it would not have damag-
ed the submarine had an explosion
occurred.

endeavor to reach the south side.
These Indians reared along the
rivers, swim like Hawaiians and are
able to remain below the surface for
a long time. The Germans saw
sp,ashes in the water and began fir
ing. The Indians dived and swan
down stream under water. When
they came to the surface for air they
brought up handful Of clay, which
they had grabbed from the river bot
tom and with this they camoufaged
their hands and face while on the
surface TO ra brief Drething spell.
Finally the Indians reached the
south bank far below the Germans,
the current assisting them very ma
terially. Then they crawled back and
peered through the bushes and
watched the Germans seeking the
bronzed figures who apparently had
been drowned. The Germans thor
oughly angered, shot the raft to
pieces.

sVESSEL In DISTRESS"
HAS NOT BEEN FOUND

Nantucket, Mass, July 24.-Com-
plete mystery today shrouded the re-
port of vessel in distress a few
miles east of the island of Nantucket
brought here yesterday by an un-
known aviator. Suast guard crews
from stations on the island and else
where searched the vicinity where
the disabled craft was reported to be,
without finding any trace of her.
Mariners were inclined to doubt the
truth of the story as many unfounded
rumors had been current since the
sudden disappearance of an enemy
submarine off the coast of Cape Cod
Sunday.
The aviator who brought the first
reports did not state whether the
vessel had been wrecked or attacked
by submarine. There was also
some question as to whether it was a
steamer or sailing craft. Officials
of the coast guard amitted the pos
sibility that the ship might have
gone to the botto mbefore they could
arrive but the absence of wreckage
and small boats made this theory
improbable, they said.

AMERICAN INDIANS
FIGHT in FRANCE

With the American Army on the
Aisne- -Marne Front, July 23.-The
American Indians in France quickly
then started on an exploring expedi-
tion of the country. They soon be-
came just as cunning as in their ma
tive western haunts. This is illus
trated by an incident which occurred
when the Germans were withdraw
ing across the Marne. Indian
scouts, with Americans, were sent
over the river to ascertain the Ger
man movements and other details.
At one crossing three Indians impro-
vised a raft and chained 1t to the
north side Of the Marne. They hid
the raft and then started on an ex-
ploring expedition. The Germans
discovered the strange foot prints on
the river bank, and came upon the
raft. They awaited the Indians re-
turn. But, after reconnoitering, the
Indians approached their hidden
raft cautiously, and scenting trou-
BILE, made hasty retreat.
The Germans realized that these
strange red men were not of their
kind, and rust therefore be an enc
my, and began firing. The Indians

large reinforcements to the south
ward.
At the same time it also effected
an important local improvement in
the line at a sector where every ad-
vance means better protection for
Amiens and Paris. The French at
tackled on four mile front after all
hours bombardment of the German
lines and captured three villages of
Sauvillers, Aubvillers and Mailey-
Raineval within Is minutes.
About 1000 more prisoners have
been counted by the entente allies in
the past "a hours. or this number
about half have been credited to the
Americans and British. Fighting of
the fercest character continues and
the present to and fro struggling all
along the Soissons-Rheims loop is
very close, strenuous work and prob
ably not so many prisoners are be-
ing taken as would be the case in a
direct advance or retreat action.
There has been little change in the
past "a hours in the appearance
of the Soissons- Rheims pocket as it
appears on the map. What change
have been made there are all to the
advantage of the allies. The French
and Americans have gained further
ground in the bottom of the pocket,
The French also are pressing hard on
the long line south of Scissors and
the map shows advances OF thous-
and yards or so at several point.
The expectations of those who had
thought that the Germans were pre-
pairing to give up immediately the
entire SoissonsC Chateau-Thierry-
Rheims salient and retire to the Ves-
lie river or the Aisne have not yet
been fulfilled.
According to today's dispatch the
German is fighting his hardest to
hang on to every foot of ground ne
has and is constantly counter-attack,
ing with surprising momentum, both
on the Marne and along the west side
of the salient.
The Germans are burning villages
and small dumps but presumably a
further prodding will be needed tt
push him back to the river Vesle
Meanwhile the entente allies are
working without rest at the business
of making either stand or with
drawal difficult for the Germans.

tinues to praise the work Of the

capture of Jaulgonnes and Buzancy
