ENGLAND IS SAFE
FROM FOOD FAMINE
Acreage Cultivated Increases
by 100000, London
Declares
SUCCESSFUL WAR
ON SUBMARINES

BY Newspaper Enterprise Association.
LONDON, July 5.-Englsnd has I'm
ally chased the wolf from her door
far enough, in oil probability, to make
certain the complete failure OF Ger
many's starvation threats against the
United Kingdom.
These facts are made clear by the
recently issued report Of the food pro-
ductlon department This report would
indicate that England Is rapidly be-
coming an agricultural nation, and that
the big problem Of idle lands held IN
mobiles parks is now being solved un-
der the stress OF war.
The acreage in England sown with
oats in 1917 is 30 per cent greater than
that IN 1916. The wheat acreage is 80
per cent greater; the barley acreage fl
per cent greater; the acreage sown with
other grains is GO per cent, and the
acreage Of potatoes 80 per cent greater
These figures are exclusive OF war gar-
dens, which now number 100000, and
have increased ii0 per cent since 1916
The total land under cultivation In
England is now 100000 acres greater
than in 1916.
These figures mean that England OF
her present ratiOns Is raising sufficient
breadstuffs TO feed the nation for 40
weeks, leaving only one-flfth OF the to-
lal annual consumption to be imported.

Washington, Sept. 10. - Officials
here now recognize that. the German
peace offensive is in full swing.
A progressive campaign Is clearly
indicated to their minds by the ap-
parently casual remarks of Chancellor
Won Hertling few days ago, follow
ed by the more formal statement to
the visiting German newspaper men
in Vienna by Count Burian. the Aus
trian foreign minister, the remarks Of
the German crown prince and now
the speech of Emperor William him
self to the working people at Essen.
Peace proposals emanating from
these sources would appear incongru-
GUS were the officials not firmly con-
WINGED of the insincerity of the move
ment, which again is recognized as
conceived with the double purpose of
placating the uneasy and restless Ger

appealing to the pacifists in the Allied
countries and America in the hope Of
weakening the hands of the Allied
governments in the prosecution of the
war. ~

NAVAL BASE SEIZED
German Property in Virgin
Islands Is Taken Over.
Steamship Line Holdings Are Said to
Have Concrete Gun En-
placements.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Alien Prop.
erty Custodian Palmer has seized a
potential German naval, base in the
Virgin islands at St. Thomas and it
will be used for the needs of the
American navy and customs depart.
ment. ,-,s
The base consists of land, buildings,
docks, warehouses, large. water tanks
and cisterns, lighters, loading para.
phernalia and coaling facilities, for.
merly owned by the Hamburg line.
3. Mr.. Palmer said Germany considered
that the marine plant admitted of pos.
sibilities as a naval base, as was
shown by the fact that their principal
building commanding the harbor is of
reinforced concrete and the plaza in
front of it is said to have an eight.
foot foundation of concrete, fit for
gun emplacements. 4"
After the United States acquired the
island from Denmark and when it ap-
peared that it would declare war on
Germany, Mr.. Palmer said, the Ham.
burg-American line agent, who also
was the German consul, sold" the
plant to the lines lawyer, Danish
citizen named Jorgensen. ri
The sole consideration mentioned
was a note for $4,000, which Jor-
gensen was said to have given the
German company. This note was pay.
able three months after date and re.
Movable every three months until after
the war and bore no interest, Mr..
Palmer said.

Found Guilty at Cleveland on
Three Counts Of Violating

DEFENDANT IS CALM
Four Times Candidates Of the Social.

Maximum Penalty Of Twenty
Years in Prison.

Cleveland, Sept. ia federal jury
here found guilty Eugene V. Deebs,
four times candidate of the Socialist
party for president, charged with vio-
lating the espionage act.
Talking to newspapermen after the
verdict. Debs said: +
ct is all right, I have no complaint
to make. It will come out all right in
Gods good time"
OF the original 10 counts of the in
dictment but four remained when the
jury retired to consider the evidence.
The verdict found him guilty of
three, not guilty Of one. He was
found guilty of attempting to incite
characterization, disloyalty, mutiny or
refusal of duty in the military and
naval forces; attempting to obstruct
recruiting and uttering language tend.
ing to incite, provoke and encourage
resistance to the United States and
promote the cause of the enemy.
The count on which he was adjudged
innocent charged that he opposed the
cause of the United States. ..'
- Judges Charge Suits Both Sides.
Counsel for beth sides said that they
considered Judge Westenhaver's in
structions fair. They were exhaustive
and couched in simple language and
delivered in a kindly manner, required
one and a half hours. He made no
comment on the evidence, which, pre-
sented by the government, was af-

the jury that the espionage act was
wholly valid.
When it was announced that the
jury was ready to report the crush be-
came great. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes,
herself under conviction on a similar
charge, came inside the railing for
the first time. Previously, at Debs'
request, she had remained hidden in
the body of the audience.
Mrs. Stokes and Debs Hold Hands.
She drew her chair beside his and
into her hands he slipped one Of his
own, where it remained while the
clerk was reading the verdict and
polling the jury. She had expected an
adverse verdict from the first, admit
ting It to her friends. ~
Nor was it q surprise to Debs. In
his address to the jury he said he had
not one word to retract and rather
went out of his way to accept the
damaging St. Louis anti-war platform.
The maximum penalty is 20 years
Imprisonment and fine Of $4,000
on each count.
Debs was indicted for violation Of
the espionage act as an outgrowth of
remarks he is alleged to have made
in an address ON June is before the
state convention of the Ohio Socialist
party at Canton, Ohio.

11SS coast-Destroyer Rescue.

se London, Sept. 12.-An enemy sub
marine torpedoed troopsh1p with
1880 American soldiers on board. All
hands were saved and the troopship
was beached.
In order to save time, instead of
launching the boats the men clambered
down ropes to destroyers which
bwarmed around the stricken vessel
land came close alongside. This oper'
Iation was greatly facilitated by the
TACT that the sea was not rough.
& Member Of Large Convoy.
Z The tr0opship was a member of
large convoy approaching the English
coast The vessel was torpedoed 200
miles from shore at p. m.
The transfer of the American SOL
oilers from the stricken vessel to es-
corting British and American torpedo
boat destroyers was made without in
jury to anyone. They all escaped
when the torpedo exploded and they
soon were ON their way to British
port.
Il Yanks Show Trse Spirit.
There was no sign of panic on
board and the admirable behavior of
the men was especially gratifying to
the officers.
II Many of the troops came from Chi
)cago and Cleveland and large per-
,centage Of them were factory hands of
foreign extraction. Their behavior
proved that they had assimilated the
true spirit of the American soldier.
l Several soldiers told the Associated
Press that they saw the German sub
marine lifted clear out of the water
after one of the depth bombs explod-
ed. and then entirely disappear.
Something had gone wrong with the
hroopships engines which compelled
her for a time to lag behind the rest
.,of the convoy, but the trouble had
been fixed up and she was fast catch
ing up with the other transports when
"A torpedo hit her just forward of the
Yengine-room.
III Vessel Starts to Sink.
The vessel at once began to sink by
the bow. Many of the soldiers at the
-time were taking baths. They did
mot wait to dress but made for the
deck with what little clothing they
could hastily lay hands on. The wa
ter was rushing in at such a rate that
1t was thought the steamer would
quickly founder.
TO the surprise of most of the SOL
diers the troopship did not sink. Some
means apparently were found to check
the thrush of water and she got near
enough to the shore to be beached. It
\ is hoped that the vessel ultimately can
Y be saved.
