GAIN IN SHIPPING.

: Washington, ID. c., May IAN
nouncement from Paris that in tho last
three months more submarines hay
been sunk han have been built bears
out recent unofficial statements here
on the submarine situation. 1t has
been no secret that officials here have
felt more encouraged within the last
few months than at any time since the
unrestricted submarine campaign be-
gan.
Merchant ship construction by the
United States and the allies already
has passed the real danger points and
ships are being launched faster than
they are sunk. Officials pointed to this
fact today as proof Of the wisdom OF
the American policy Of building an
enormous merchant fleet. AS the sup
ply of submerslbles begins to disap-
pear the biggest part of the shipping
program of the allies began to~vanish.
Aside from the genera! effect Of "a de-
creased number OF submarines, Off
Gals look for it to have q decided effect
on German morale. Every submarine
sent to the bottom carries with it a
trained crew which it becomes increas-
ingly harder to replace.

American Alliance, who Is under in

mine field In the North sea a few
years ago. Upon coming to the Unit
ed States he became naturalized as
speedily as possible. He has been a
resident of Aberdeen for several years,

kota Freie Press, +. w. Sallet's paper.
For the past few years he has been en-
gagged in the advertising and real es-
tate business.

80 days stay to permit him to perfect
an appeal, may be sentenced at the
close Of the present term Of court
Reitz and his family were virtually the
only witnesses for the defense In ths
trial. They denied practically every

YOUNG WOMEN ARE
DOING FARM WORK

Fairfax, S. d., May 11.-Though q
large number Of young men from the
farms in this part of the state have
been sent away to war It is found that
farm work is farther advanced than
Is usual at this season OF the year.
The explanation is that the young
women have taken the places Of their
brothers on the plows and planters and
that they propose taking their places
with h c~ultivators and harvesters
later. Another thing. too, has helped
out the situation. Many of the older
men, h fathers of the young men gone
to war, had practically retired from
active farm work. They have now re-
turned to active work and so il is
the places Of the boys who have gone
to the front have been filled and things
are not SO badly disarranged as was
expected they would be.

DeSmet, S.. D., May 11.-Kingsbury
and Lincoln counties, are engaged in
q dispute as to which is entitled to be,
the banner county of the state in the
percentage of ever subscriptions to
the third Liberty loan. Lincoln
ty originally claimed the honor. Lin
colin county's allotment was 1857 500

p35, 250.- Kingsbury county's allotment
was 1915, 900 and it's subscriptions

600. Residents OF Kingsbury county
claim, their apportionment was $12,500
less than that of Lincoln county and
the sales CT K~ingsbury county were
$3.50 more. Thus, reduced to percent
ages, Lincoln county over subscribed

The oldest railway in Germany is
one of the shortest In the world. The
Ludwig railway, connecting cities
Of Furth and Nurenburg, is just three
and three quarters miles long, and has
never been extended. 1t was conceived
by Johannes Scharrer, a wealthy hop
merchant, the Philadelphia Inquirer
tells us. The plan was first published
in 1882, and as King Ludwig favored
its construction it was named after
him. There are about 80 employees. n
railway carries about 1000, 900 passen-

In the desert Of western Australia
there are wells which yield water only
at night, says Popular Science Month
ly. Before the water begins to flow,
weird hissings and the sound OF rush
ing air may be heard. The phenom-
enon is believed to be due to a change
in the form of rocky channel through
which the water flows, and to the eX-
treme change In temperature between
day and night, which occurs in this
region. The kissing is u to the es-
cape of air before the advance OF the
Suofar
