Soldiers in Big Parade

So'0'e'S w St9 a. oeS
The greatest parade of soldiers ev-
er witnessed in the state was Thurs.
day when a big celebration oyer the
victory with Germany was featured.
Ten thousand men were in line. 1t
took two hours and half to pass a
given point. Three thousand Of these
soldiers were brought from the camp
to the city in army. trucks. Each truck
brought "a men. This gives some
idea of the number of auto trucks at
the camp. The rest Of the men came
to the city on the interurban specials.
There were fifteen bands in the pa.
rade. 1t was the greatest event in
Des Moines since the soldiers reunion
soon after the war of the rebellion
when Generals Grant and Sherman
reviewed 10000 boys in blue from a
reviewing stand on the hill where the
state house now stands. "

Pigs, Prime Sirens,
Warn Of Air Raids
By Huns on Paris

Paris, July THE sirens
which warn Paris Of approach
ing air raids have a new rival
in the humble pig. Allied
aviators keep pet pigs at their
airdromes, but the birdmen's
assertion that the pigs were in
fallible prophets of approaching
raiders has been taken with a
grain of salt. =
Now the hog raisers Of sub
urban districts around Paris
come forward with confirmation
Of the aviators' tradition. The
stock breeders say that shortly
before a raid, and before any
other warning of 1t has been
received. the pigs begin to
show signs Of intense nervous
ness. scurrying about. seeking
cover. grunting, and raising
their heads skyward. Farmers
declare the signs unmistakable
and that a raid always follows.

ASQUTTH CLOSER TO PREMIER.
Thought to Be Converted to Lloyd

hold II a hopeful sign for the future,
indicating as It does that Great
Britain's "home front" will close

unbreachable unity to any peace Of

Characteristic Of the press comment

$50 VESSELS
ARESALVAGED
IN PAST YEAR
Success Gives Hope Larger
Ships Sunk May Yet
Be Raised.

London. July $50 successful has
been the work OF the admiralty sal
vaging department that hopes are
now being, raised that some Of the
larger vessels torpedoed by the Ger
uhaas may. yet be recovered.
1t Is not too much to hope that the
Lusitania may some day be raised.
for salvaging methods are steadily
being improved and the efficiency of
the department is being increased.
From January, 1915, to January.
1913 the admiralty recovered go
merchant ships sunk by the Germans
IN British waters. This year, up 20
the first of June, 147 ships have been
safYaged, or more than half the num-
ber recovered last year.
This increase Is not due to the
greater activity of U-boats, but to
more efficient salvage methods.
Men are Heroic.
The salvage workers are doing as
heroic work as sailors in a sea battle
or the men at the front. Many times
their lives are in peril One salvage
vessel was torpedoed while at work
on a wreck. Gases formed by rotting
cargoes in the holds of sunken vessels
In many cases work which has taken
days to perform Is swept away by a
heavy sea.
One of the most brilliant achieve
ments of the department was the
raising of a collier partly filled with
coal. on top of which was another
sunken vessel which forced the col
lier's hull deeper into the sea bed.
Lift $500 Tons.
1t meant lifting a dead weight oi
$500 tons, and four lifting vessels
with Is wire ropes inches thick, die
the work. Successive lifts. aided By
the tide. with divers patching the
holes in the wreck, and much pump
ing, finally accomplished the seem
ingly impossible feat of lifting bott
the sunken ships. The collier was re-
paired and restored to service.
At present no ship can be raised
from a depth exceeding 40 feet, as. a
this depth the pneumatic tools used
for cutting and drilling the ships
side refuse to work. But with English
and American ingenuity striving con.
stantly for improved methods, il may
some day be possible to recover ship.
sunk in deeper water.
! As an example of how a ship car
be repaired no matter how badl,
damaged, the admiralty cites a large
oil tank steamer, which with a cargo
Of benzine, struck a mine and caught
fire.
Salvage vessels rushing to tht
rescue fired 40 shells into the vessel
hull to sink her and extinguish tn,
flames. An explosion took place be
fore she sank. But despite all thi:
damage the ship was successfuil,
raised and repaired

The death OF the accomplished Ital-

treme and was witnessed by many.
He had been performing stunts in
the air and attempted the nose dive. "
He started a thousand feet in the air
and this represented the length Of his
fall.
His machine came hurtling down
and struck the ground with such force
that it few back into the air twenty
feet or more and then flew q short
distance. Gino was unconscious and
mortaIIy hurt when taken from the
wreckage. He died on the way to the
base hospital.

FUEL RATIONS
ALMOST SURE
COMING WINTER

Formal warning was issued from
the Office OF the Fuel Administration
yesterday that the stock of coal may
be insufficient to meet the domestic
necessities during the coming winter.
Only the strictest economy will see
the country through the cold season
without suffering from LACK Of fuel
"There will not be enough house.
hold coal available this winter II
last years waste continues or IL un-
equal local distribution is permitted" q"
says an official bulletin from DR.. Gar
fields once.
This final conclusion comes after a
series Of conservation warnings, which
have inaugurated a campaign for
each householder to care for his own
furnace instead Of trusting 1t to the
care Of the occasionally visiting
neisbborhood fire-tender.
Householders have also been warned
to wrap their furnace pipes, clean the
will be available, and to watch the
demper and draft adjustments.
Coal rations this winter are prac-
tically assured. England and France
are both on a fuel rationing basis.
THE allowance will not be the
amount used last year. but only so
much as Is scientifically found suffi-
cienr to heat the house to So degrees,
providing every conservation rule is
observed" says the bulletin.
A Fair Proportion.

get his fair proportion of coal The

involves a department OF coal aliot-
