WOULD SAVE IRISH FARMS
Reconstruction Committee Plans to
Get Land Into the Hands Of
Skilled Cultivators.

Dublin.-Irish farmers have been
startled by proposal made by the re-
construction committee that the gov
eminent purchase some of the Irish
farms which are not being cultivated
and sell them to competent cultivators
or employ skillful and progressive
farmers to cultivate them. Sir Horace
Plunkett, a member of a subcommit-
tee, has reported that some Irish
farms are occupied by incompetent or
incapable men, who will not improve
their methods under instructions or If
punished by penalties. The land de-
teriorates and Is wasted for several
years, while the occupant grows poor
er and poorer and generally is crushed
by his creditors.

GOLD PRODUCTION FALLS OFF
California Output Shrinks 20 Per Cent
Because of War, Says State
MlneralogIst.

San Francisco.-The production of
gold in California for 1913 probably
will be 20 per cent under that of 1917.
said Fletcher Hamilton, state min
eralogist.
While the price of gold has re-
manned fixed at $20.67 an ounce, the
various factors OF the cost of Its pro-
duction have advanced from % to 800
per cent since the European war be-
gan, according to Mr.. Hamilton. Mines
have been shut down and others may
be forced to cease operations.
"The problem is to find some way
whereby the government can help alb
sorb the gold miners losses" Mr.. Ham,
ilton said. Bonuses and a raise In
the price of gold have been considered.
Following are the figures on gold
production during the last three years:
1915, $22,442,296 1916. $21, 410,741 /;
1917, $20,OS7,504. &

MAKES CITY FARMING PAY
Teacher viii Raise Crop of Beans AZ.
ter Selling Pea Crop for
$170.

Greensburg, Ind.-Clifford letter
berg, teacher of this county, is put
ting into practice some of the intensive
farming plans he has been teaching,
and at considerable profit.
A crop of early peas, raised on four
city lots,' two-thirds of an acre, has
been sold for $170, and now the ground
Is available for late beans. The pea
crop aggregated 1,700 pounds and was
sold at from 8 to II cents q pound.
Zetterberg says if the conditions are
propitious the bean crop will earn him
equally as much money. He is now
working out a plan to protect his crops
against dry weather and will irrigate
the ground from wells he has sunk.

spite the Hun Submarine
Warfare.
LOSSES ARE FALLING BEHIND
official Figures Show Convoy System
Is Beating u-Boats-New Tonnage
Exceed Destruction by 1907
600 Tons Monthly.

Lordon.-Upon the fourth annIver-
sary Of Great Britain's entry into the
war the secretary of the admiralty
made public figures and facts which
throw an encouraging light upon the
naval situation of the allies.
The British navy, apart from the
American forces which now form an
integral part of its fighting strength,
consists at the present time of war
ships and auxiliary craft whose total
displacement reaches 6,500,000 tons,
against 100000 in August, 1914. Dur
ing that period about three-quarters of
million tons have been lost, but at
the present day the growth of the fleet
shows an increase of 160 per cent.
Similarly with the personnel. The
original $4,000 officers and men have
grown to $4,000.
U-Boats Losing Power.
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the adj
miralty, speaking in the house of COM
mons on March 5, 1918, was able to ex-
press the opinion that the British and
American naval forces in the North
sea, the north Atlantic and the Eng
lish channel were sinking submarines
as fast as they We're built, and on
July 30, says the statement, he made
the welcome announcement that dur
ing the last three months of the first
half of 1918 the world output of tom
mage exceeded the worlds losses from
all causes by no less than 100000 tons
month.
AS to the means of defense against
submarines, figures are now available
which show that the convoy system
has played large part in overcoming
the submarine menace to the ocean
communications of the allies. Where
as in the period from April to June of
last year, before the convoy system
was established, British steamers sail
ing to and from the United Kingdom
in the main oversee trades suffered
losses through enemy action of 5.41
per cent of their total number. The
figures since then have steadily dimin-
ished, until in the period from March
to June of this year, during which 93.S
per cent of the ships were conveyed,
the losses have dropped to 1.23 per
cent of the total number of sailfngs
in these trades.
Million Americans Abroad.
American troops who reached Eu.
rope by July 81 of this year totaled
we'll over 100000. Nearly half OF
these were carried by American ships
and the United States furnished fol-
them 40 ocean transports and 1876 es
corts of destrOyers.
The total tonnage of ships of all ma
tionalities conveyed in all trades since
the introduction of the convoy system
is 1891 900, of which $4,000, or ap
proximately 81 per cent, has been LOS
while in convoy.
Since August A, 1914, the British
navy has transported nearly 20,000,00(
men to different destinations, 2000,00(
animals and 100000 tons of nava
and military stores.
The men lost through enemy actor
during the transportation bear the pro
I norton of / to every 5000 carried.

decision to use American Red Cross standard dressings will greatly i'm prove the distribution service, as un- der the present arrangement the en- tire output of American Red Cross chapters can be utilized for both the French and American hospitals.
 Arrive in Splendid Condition.
 One of the factors entering into the decision was the splendid condition in which Red Cross surgical dress ings arrive in France A communica- tion from c. E. Newlin, aide to the commissioner to France to national headquarters states:
 The dressings that are produced in America have always been. on their arrival in France. in splendid condi- tion. This statement with regard to the condition of dressings arriving in Paris is given to you after the fullest investigation. and with the idea that the widest possible publicity is to be given to it. The only dressings that have ever been received in France from America that have not been suit able for use in the exact condition in which they arrived, have been a very few that were sOiled by reason of the breaking open of the cases
 The decision to make the American Red Cross dressings standard for French hospitals is further evidence of the splendid cooperation between the allies and the American Red Cross.
