B0NAR Law SAYS
"0n|y Thing to Do Is to Destroy

By Associated Press.

London, July g. A thorough
search of the waters in the vicinity
of the spot where the Canadian hos
pital ship Llandovery Castle was sunk
by German submarines has resulted In
no further survivors being found.
q An official statement says it may
be assumed that only "a out Of the
258 persons on board were saved.
Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of
the exchequer, speaking. in the house
of commons, today. said that one
would have thought that nothing new
as regards German brutality could
have happened, but the sinking of
the Canadian hospital ship Llando-
very Castle was an unspeakable out
rage. Nothing could be gained, he
added, by talking about this last ex-
ample of frightfulness.
"The wild beast is at large" said
Mr.. Bonar Law. "There is no use
arguing or reasoning about it. The
only thing to do is to destroy it.
That is the duty, and it is up to all
the allies to set their teeth until that
end is achieved"

MANY AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Kaiser Distributes Iron Crosses Among Yankees
By Having Them Pinned on His Brave Troops.
NOW WEARING HUN MEDALS
BY Associated Press.

With the American Army in France,
July .2-The German emperor has
distributed iron crosses galore among
the American forces holding lines
west of Hill 2O4. The distribution
was not direct but via the chests of
soldiers Germany considers her best.
Having iron crosses is fad among
the Americans. Nearly every prison
ser taken has one and few retain
them. These are probably overlooked
during the excitement. of battle and
the hurry to get the prisoners to the
rear. -
A few Americans seen today had
the enemy medal pinned in the cen
ter of their shirts-rot on, the left

phies from their pockets, explaining
that they considered them the best

Revolt AT Municipal

The action of Health Commission

rifles and trench mortars are likely to
become elephants on ones hands.
The men said some of the crosses
had been given voluntarily by the
Germans when they asked for them,
but others were cut off prisoners
shirts. One small doughboy,. who
looked less than 20 stepped up to a
German officer, taken prisoner, and
drew his bayonet to cut off the cross.
The officer thought the American in
tended to kill him and fled.
The American chased him with the
bare bayonet In his hand. The small
soldier patted the German on the
shoulder with one hand, and removed
the desired trophy with the other,
much to the astonishment of the Of
ficer. The American gave the Ger
man cigarette and a match and the
bargain was closed

The Germans almost Immediately
began counter attacks in an attempt
to regain the lost positions, but their
efforts failed in every instance. In
the initial attack and in their repeat
ed assaults against the new lines held
by the allies, the Germans have suf-
fered very heavy losses, at least SOC
prisoners having been taken by the
French and Americans. One entire
German regiment is officially report.
ed to have been virtually annihilated
in the battle.
Thrilling Air Battle.
A thrilling air battle between nine
American airplanes and an equal
number of German machines Is re-
ported in the Chateau Thicrry sector
At least three German planes were
destroyed, while two American ma
chimes have failed to return from the
encounter.
On June 7, the French reported that
they had rccaptured hill 204, hssgllt
dominating the city of Chateau Thi-
erry. II appears, however, that the
Germans have been holding at least
part of the height, or that they have,
by an attack which has not been re-
ported, succeeded in occupying the hill
once more. The allied attack OH the
north side will tend to make the ene-
my's position on the hill less secure
and may force the Germans to rclo-
cate their line from the Marne north
ward to Torcy, where the Americans
have been successful in several fights
and have won important ground.
Britons Hold Gains.
British forces northwest Of Albert
have been forced to fight hard to hole
positions they took from the Ger.
mans Sunday night. A determined at.
tack by the enemy at that point
threatened to Wrest the captured
ground from the British, But heavy
counter attacks flung the foe out oi
all but one of the trenches he had
occupied.
The French front west Of the Disc
and east of Rheims had been the
scene OF considerable local fighting III
which prisoners were taken by the
allied forces. The French have re-
occupied the village Of st. Pierre
Aigle, southwest OF scissors. which
they lost three weeks ago.
The German official statement OF
operations along the front says that
allied attacks at various points weree
repulsed. 1t specifically mentions the
attack west OF Chateau Thierry as
being unsuccessful.
Italians Score Another Success.
Italian forces which have been
gaining important ground OH the east
ern side OF the Asiago plateau have
suddenly shifted their attack to the
Monte Grappa region east OF the
Brenta river. Important Austrian. 90.
sitions have been carried and nearly
ooo prisoners captured by the Itai.
ians. Czecho-Slovak troops fighting
under. the Italian flag, have taken
part in the struggles OF the last few

There is still no indication that t,,e
German offensive is about to be re-
newed in spite of the fact that II IS

Hopes Of Closing Down Before
Fourth Abandoned, as In
portant Measures Press
ing for Consideration.

Washington, July 2.-Congress to-
day disposed of much important
legislation, but encountered variety
of obstacles in its program to recess
this week until August TO-. Hopes
to close down tomorrow before the
Fourth of July holiday were aban-
doned and while most leaders be-
lieved they could recess Friday VI
Saturday, others thought congress
might be held in session indefinitely.
The resolution authorizing the
president to take over the telegraph
and telephone lines, the $l2,000,000-
900 army appropriation bill, the pro-
posal to increase the government
guaranteed price for wheat to $3.50
per bushel and war time prohibition
were among the issues in the complex
legislative situation delaying a recess.
Emergency Resolution Blocked.
Leaders plans for beginning the
congressional vacation late this week
were based op program of post
poning decisive action on all but the
army supply measure until congress
returns in August. To this end the
house today passed blanket rcsolu-
ton continuing as an emergency last
years appropriations for the army,
agricultural department and other
government agencies whose appro-
priation bills have not yet been en-
acted, but the resolution was blocked
in the senate until tomorrow. Techni-
cally, the delay in cnacting the emer-
gency resolution left the army. De-
partment of Agriculture and a few
other government bureaus without
funds. -"
Although Speaker Clark tonight
said the recess plans had gone glim-
mering" other leaders of both senate
and house were not so pessimistic.
Their plans were to have the resolu-
ton empowering the president to
take over telegraph and telephone
lines reported to the house and lie
over until August. However, If the
administration insists on passage OF
the resolution before the recess is
taken, leaders were doubtful of secur-
ing a respite for congress at an early
date.
Army Bill to Be Completed.
Leaders were agreed that the army
appropriation bills should be COM
pleted before any recess is taken.
Slow progress on senate Legislative
amendments to the bill was made
today by the conferees.
Senate and house conferees held
another futile conference today OH
the $3.50 wheat amendment and ad.
journed until tomorrow, with house
managers indicating a compromise
may be suggested in view of the
senate's insistence on the price in
crease.
Senate debate on war time prohi-
bition, set for today, also went over
with many leaders predicting post
ponement of action until after the
recess.
In cleaning up pending appropria-
ton bills, the senate, without a roll
call, passed the general deficiency
appropriation bill after eliminating a
provision to add $50,000,000 to the
$60,000,000 already authorized for
housing government workers. The
senate ignored a request for $780,
100000 sent in today by the housing
commission. Failure of the COM
mission to use the $60,000,O0O
authorized several months ago was
the reason given for the senate's
action.

WHEAT SEEDING IN NO
MEMBER, BEST RESULTS

While wheat seedlings made in
late October and early November
killed almost 100 percent after
growing up to height of about
two inches, other seedlings made
from November 2lst to 9th made
almost perfect stand.
Attic this is the first year that
we have made this test, the results
are so outstanding and SO regular
that they are very satisfactory to
say the least" says Prof. Fl. D.
Hughes of the farm crops depart
ment.,
Itgisqthe opion Of the farm crops
men that late seeding will prove
very satisfactory because it makes
winter killing unlikely and dimin:.
ishes very greatly the trouble from
the Hessian fly. Another adyan-
tage is that wheat could be put in
after corn if desired.
Experiences Of farmers in differ
ent parts Of the state have checked
with these results and altho it has
had but one years trial at the ex-
pertinent station there is good rea-
son to believe that late seeding will
be desirable.
