French Cavalry in Battle.

Paris-For the first time since the
Marine battle French cavalry played Il
part in the victorious advance In the
Champagne offensive of September,
1915, cavalry patrols were engaged, but
their activities were hampered by the
barbed wire of trench warfare. In
Hindenburg's retreat they did use sew
eral units. Last week they came back
into their own, not rs dismounted
units, as which they have performed
such gallent work in every battle since
March, bat in the true cavalry func-
tion as scouts and slxirmishers in the
van of the advancing infantry.

SUBMARINE SINKS
TUG AND BARGES
ANOTHER U-BOAT ATTACK OFF
CAPE COD, SHOTS FALLING
ON MAINLAND.
Only Poor Workmanship Of the Huns
Prevented Destruction of the Tug

Orleans, NASSAU enemy subma-
rine attacked a tow off the eastern
most point of Cape Cod on Sunday,
sank three barges, set a fourth and
their tug on fire and dropped four
shells on the mainland.
The action lasted an hour and was
unchallenged except for two hydro
planes from the Chatham aviation
station, which circled over the
U-boat, causing her to submerge for
only moment, to reappear and re-
sumo firing.
The tug, the Perth Amboy, was
owned by the Lehigh Valley railroad.

estimated at approximately $4,000.
The crews of the tow, numbering
Al and including three women and
five children, escaped amid the she'll
fire in lifeboats. Several were
wounded, but only one seriously. 1nis
happened to be John Botovich, an
Austrian, of the tug crew. His right
arm was torn away near the shoul-
der by a shell fragment.
The barges, in tow of the tug Perth
Amboy of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
were bound from Gloucester for New
York. One was loaded with stone,
but the others were light, being on
their return trip after bfinging coal
to New England
The attack was without warning
and only the poor craftsmanship of
the German gunners permitted the
escape of the crews.
The one-sided fight took place three
miles south of the Orleans coast

The firing brought thousands to the
beach. The flashes of the guns an(

Corn Prices Dropping.

Chicago.-Farmers are selling corn
freely. This fact is fully reflected by
the losses of 8 $500 3/Sc in corn
values during last week. The down.
ward course was steady, under pres
sure from the increased number of
bears. The July future ranged be-
tween s1.64 and $1.48 3/4, and only
showed moderate reactions from the
bottom level, the August future be-
tween s165 and $1.49 3f8 and, ,Septem-
ber between 31W 1/2 and $1.5O 5/S.

Crop Movement Situation Serious.

Boise, Idaho.-The crop movement
situation in Idaho is serious. This is
the conclusion that the state council
of defense, the federal food admins
tration and the state farm market
bureau have come to. There is
marked increase in the area planted to
wheat and there will be correspond
lngly big yield. To handle this crop
there are not sufficient storage facili-
ties in sight at the present. Either
suitable storage must be provided, or
the equivalent, sufficient cars, made
available to move the bulk of 1t that
cannot be placed in stofehouses.

ROOTED RIGHT HERE

II is announced by florists and nurS'
ervmen that one result of the war is
a demonstration that this country. is
not really dependent upon Europe for
seeds, bulbs or plaats. although in the
past it has obtained from there lar>a
rart of all three. 1t is 10 be regretted
that it took war to teach Us that we
can really be independent in this as
in many other respects. We have re-
manned dependent in the matter OF
Cyestuffs. We have bought consid-
cradle amount of cutlery, jewelrE,
laces and innumerable other commod-
tiles from European producers be-
cause it was easier to do that than TO
learn how to make them equally as
we'll ourselves. We still carry in our
pockets knives with the word Ger
many" imprinted on the blades. We
are yet eating from plates with Euro
pean imprints on the bottoms.
OF course there are some isolated
instances in which it is impracticabic
for US to produce as good an article
as we can buy in other countries. In
most instances, however, it is wholly
a question OF cost OF production-the
foreigner being willing to live on a
lower scale and thereby produce at a
lower cost. We have too often accept
ed the teaching of Prof. F. W. Taus-
sig. now chairman Of the Tariff Com
mission, who argues that we lose moth
ing if we buy an article made abroad
if we buy it cheaper than We can
make it at home. The fallacy Of that
argument is now apparent to everyone
We lose every time we send dollar
| abroad to buy any article that we can
reasonably make at home, even at: in,
creased cost. 1t Is worth much to us
TO Keep our money circulating at
; home; it is worth still more TO be in
dustrially independent.
