THE BATTLE CRY

The London Times, after expressing like
the other newspapers of the allies, SYM
pathy for the American army and those
personally bereaved in the sinking of the
Tuscania, says:
"They have died as millions of their
countrymen are ready to die and as tens
of thousands must die in the struggle be-
fore victory is won and the war aims of
America accomplished. The spirit of the
American people was already high, but it
will be higher yet as they mourn their he
roes who sleep beneath the waves of the
Atlantic and this tribute of precious lives
will stimulate them to heightened effort

JACK MALOY TELLS
THRILLING STORY OF
ACCIDENT At SEA

Jack, son of Capt. and Mrs. J. w.
Maloy, of 1902 East Gadsden street,
was doing duty aboard the battle
ship Michigan when the military
mast on that vessel came crashing
to deck during a storm, killing sew
eral sailors. A chum of the young
Pensacolian, with whom he was
talking just a couple of minutes
before the mast fell, was beheaded,
and had young MIloy been with MN,
there is no doubt but that his life
would have l,en crushed out. A let

tails a number of interesting Incl

publicity.
Up to this time the United States. the
Chronicle thinks, has been very fortunate
in transporting troops TO Europe, but it as
sumes that it will not be possible to escort
all future ships as strongly as the Tuscania
Contending that the main problem for the
allies is the maintenance of ocean routes,
the Chronicle remarks that no relief for the
allies in the air fighting has vet come from
America, while the food shortage is pinch
ing the allies in Europe earlier than had
been hoped. These facts it ascribes not to
the lack of American effort but to the
shortage OF shipping and maintains that

able. Tribute is paid to American energy
IN raising and equlpping a splendid army,

PUT ON THE PRESSURE

Hoover warns congress if it does not
grant power to enforce food conservation,
congress must bear the grave responsible
ity for failure to feed our men abroad and
the allies. He adds that while voluntary
conservation shows wonderful results,
there is an unpatriotic minority that can
not be reached save by legislation.
According to the census experts, we have
amongst us 1862 900 alien enemies. Has
congress the obsession that these millions
are saving food in order that the kaiser
may be licked?

WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never in the history of western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month of April
was perfect for seeding operations.
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work, ana
every acre that could be prohtabiy
sown was placed under requisition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign Of greater production.
There was the time and the Opportu-
nifty for careful preparation, and as
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be vastly IN
creased yield. They realized 1t was
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land, not
only this year but next as well. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
IN dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the 1st of May, after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
As has been said. favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation. and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture in the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been so heavy, however, as to
interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain is terminating read

blades of the cereal are already show
