TAKE GOOD CARE OF MANURE
Estimates Worked on Basis Of Tonnage

FORECAST.

Russian, and the capture of Paris
would by no means mean a decisive
defeat for the French army.
Submarine Is Failing.
The submarine situation is inprov-
ing constantly and there is every reas-
on to believe that the amount of ship
ping available to the allies will in
crease steadily from now on to the end
of the war. The submarine raid on
the Atlantic coast of the United States
is of no military consequence and will
not in any way affect the transport of
troops and supplies to Europe. 1t
helps rather than binders. The same
submarines could do much more eff
fective work in European waters, close
to their own bases. On An average two
submarines working in American wat
ers would destroy less tonnage than
one working off the coast of England
and France.
The purpose Of the submarine raid
is to frighten the American people in
to demanding the recall of our anti
su bmarine craft from European wat
ers where they can do much more ef-
fective work in defending our ships
than they can possibly do here. 1t is
another case of German propa ganda-
Everybody who get unduly excited
over the bluff that is being put up by
the German admiralty Is merely help
ing the kaiser to make his propaganda
effective in this country
