 MOTHERLODE T0
 OPEN UP CLAIMS

NEW YORK, May 29-Control of the Motherlode Copper Company, whose property in Alaska adjoins the Bonanza mines Of the Kennecott Cop per Corporation, has been acquired by interests connected with the latter company. The Motherlode Company has $5,23O,OOO stock outstanding and $245,500 convertible per cent gold bonds. It is understood that new company will be formed, with the ap- proval of the capital issues commit tee, whose stock will be exchanged fer tie shares and bonds of the Mothorlode.
 The company owns seventy lode and placer claims, on approximately 1,400 acres of land in the Copper river district. Engineering reports have told of valuable deposits of copper but the lack of sufficient capital has heretofore held back development work. The new owners, it is said, are planning to push operations. Rumors heard of lato in regard to the trans action have had it that the property would ultimately be turned over to the Kennecott Copper Corporation, but confirmation has so far been lacking. Details of the Motherlode plans are expected in few days.

GERMAN SCOUTING PLANE
 CAPTURED BY FRENCHMEN

PARIS, May 29-Although not so an exceptional event as the capture sometime ago by cayalrymen of German submarine which had run ashore, the taking of a German air plane on April had it's unusual side, for the captors were four French territorials whose duties as warriors were limited to taking care of tray cling carrier pigeons cote
 As night fell that day a German plane landed gently in a meadow near Fismes out of sight of any house or apparently any human being. The pilot, who had lost his bearings re. mained at,his post, keeping his engine running and his hand on one of the two machine guns on the machine, while the observer consulted his maps.
 They were about to resume their flight when the four territorials rushed out of little wood close by and gave the word hands up"
 Seeing that resistance was useless the officer ordered the pilot to sur render. The victors were armed with a rifle and three hunting guns. Their spoils were one uninjured Ger man airplane, two mitrailleuses, and two men.

Food Administration corrects False
Impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches.

Neutrality-suspicious. press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun-
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
flour. The food administration de-
clares that every aspect of the wheat
situation, both present and prOspec-
tive, intensifies the need for the great
Ca possible limitation in the American
consumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. II present restrictions should be
in the slightest degree relaxed it would
result in serious want for the people
of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administrations estimate
of the position on the first Of June in
dicatcs n total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
in country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, Of about 56,0O0000 bush
els. OF this 30,000,O00 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export if we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 26000,000 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
Normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels a
month, so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third Of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available in flour until the middle Of
August or early September, although
In the extreme South it will be some

with its increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. If we are
wise, a great harvest will mean the

When the Community Chautauquas

purposes Of interpreting the conditions

They chose him because his is an

the surface into the heart of things.
They chose him because his is a
brain that records its impression with
Photographic fidelity-so that he
would remember that which he had
seen-remember it, to tell to US at
home.
They chose him because he is an
orator of ability, capable of express

as by contagion to his audience, the

The fact that credit for stopping
the heaviest part of the assault thus

first American army corps added to
the feeling of elation officials had
difficulty in concealing.
After reading reports Secretary
