German Submarine Sunk by Ameri
can Warship in One Shot.

An Atlantic Port, May 9.-The
sinking of German submarine by a
United States warship with a shot
which lifted the U-boat completely
out of the water and broke her in
two, was reported by officers OF the
ship on arrival here today. Because
of the fine work of the gunners the
crew of the ship was given All addi-
tional furlough of ten days.
On the voyage over the warshlp,
previously reported from German
sources as having been wrecked,
sighted three submarines, and the
gunners sprang to their guns. The
first two shots, fired in quick success
sion at the nearest enemy, missed,
but the third went home. 1t caught
the U-boat just below the water line
and so great was its force that the
craft was lifted out OF the water, and
in another moment, her back broke
en-, she doubled up and sank to the
accompaniment of chorus of yells
from the warship crew.
No survivors were seen i'll the wat
er, and the other submarines, as the
destroyed submarine disappeared,
Owed and did not reappear.

OSTEND HARBOR BLOCKED
Sink Ship Across Entrance to U-Boat
Nest on Channel.

London, May 1o.-The harbor Of
the German submarine base at o.
tend, on the Belgian coast, has been
successfully closed by the sinking OF
a ship across the entrance, the ad-
miralty announced today.
The Vindictive was the ship sunk
The enterprise was carried out last
night and completed the task begun
recently when the entrance of the
harbor at Zeebrugge was bottled up.
The Vindictive was sunk between
the piers at the entrance to the o.
tend harbor.
The enterprise was successful from
every point of view. The only loss
sustained by the British was motor
boat while the casualties were slight
Bodies have been brought ashore
at Dover from some of the ships that
took part in the raid. One or two OF
the vessels engaged show scars of
battle.
The blocking of the Ostend and
Zeebrugge harbors will go down in
the history of the war as two of the
most daring exploits of the navies.
At both submarine bases the Germans
have batteries of long range naval
guns and keep keen lookout for at
lacking parties.
The greatest enthusiasm was
aroused at Dover by the exploit, es-
pecially when those returned this
morning who participated in it. The
firing was distinctly heard at Dover,
commencing at o'clock and lasting
for two hours. Cannonading, had
been heard also on the preceding
night.
The night was clear and the stars
shone brilliantly, although there was
a slight haze seward. The same vice
admiral at Dover who directed the
previous raid had charge of last
nights operations.

high cost of the same. The manufac-
turers' price is set at 20 cents and the
margin set for the dealer to handle
the Irvine on is cents per pound
cash or its equivalent or 1-2 cent;
per pound cash or its equivalent OF
1-2 cents on time, plus the freight
The arguments advanced by the
Food Administration are as follows:
First: The Irvine will have to be
ordered unusually early on account OF
slow freight movement, caused by I'm
! usual demands on railroads.
| Second: Early shipments and the
necessarily high price of Irvine will
increase the financial responsibility
of the retail dealers.
Third: 1t is desirable to facilitate
free distribution of Irvine and to
warrant the dealers in carrying a
stock adequate to provide for the in
crease in acreage which has been, and
is now being planted to wheat and
other small grain for the harvest of
1918.
Fourth: The increased cost of do
ing business during the war shows
that pre-war margins need modifica-
ton to this extent.
Farmers are earnestly urged to
place their orders for probable re-
quirements for binder Irvine as soon
as possible, so that local dealers can
provide by early shipments, for an
adequate supply of Irvine to meet the
harvest requirements.
1t will be much better for the farm
ers to place their orders for a few
pounds more than in usual years as
owing to the present conditions Of
wheat it looks as though there was
going to be needed large amount OF
Irvine for the wheat harvest alone.
Don't let your crops go to waste for
want of Irvine to care for them.

JUNE DRAFT LARGER
Strength OF the Army Within Year
Will be 3 Million, Officers
Believe.

Washington, May II.-More than
100000 men have been called in the
draft so far. and either are in France
in camp or under call to go into SER
vice before June l.
The total of 100000 includes all
men summoned in the May contin-
gent. There is every indication that
even a larger increment will be sum-
moned in June than was summoned ii.
May and a progressive monthly mob
llization continue through the sum-
'mer and fall months as the canton
ments are expanded. 1t is expected
that at such rate the army will
reach full strength of we'll over 3
million within the next twelve
months. 1t is possible, some Officers
say, that the number will be closer
to million than 3 million.
Gin May $4,000 men from forty
five states were called in the draft.
That was the largest quota called
since the law became effective. The
total of the second draft call, Of which
the May and June increments are 4
part, is Soo,ooo) ,
An appropriation of 80 million dol
lars to provide for the medical neces-
sites of the forces now under arms
and about to be assembled under the
new draft, was asked of Congress to-
day by the War Department.
This estimate is in addition to APP
preparations already made for the
medical branch of the army totaling
l 30 million dollars.

An Americans Creed.

The idea of laying greater emphasis
on the duties and obligations OF
american citizenship in nationa!
creed was announced by Henry 5.
Chaplin in the Educational Founda-
ton, an editorial journal last Septem-
Der and prize of $1,000 to the author
of the best creed was offered. There
were many contestants but finally the
prize was awarded to William Tyler
Page, veteran employee of the low
err house OF congress. The following
is Mr.. Pages creed:
Il believe in the United States OF
America, as a government OF the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people:
whose just powers are derived from
the consent OF the governed; a de-
mocracy in a Republic; sovereign
Nation of many sovereign States; a
perfect Union one and inseparable;
established upon those principles OF
freedom. equality, justice, and HIT
mainly for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
Il therefore believe it is my duty
to my country to love it, to support
its Constitution. to obey its laws, TO
respect its flag. and to defend it
against all enemies"
Speaker Clark says OF it: 1T con-
tains everything that is necessary, and
there are no waste words i'll it. He
has Lincoln's most famous phrase,
one that will live forever, that can
not be amended. And it is strange
to remember how close Daniel Web
ster came to getting that phrase,
Two other men expressed the same
idea. but Webster said this was
of all the people, by all
the people, for all the people, and all
that Lincoln did to it was to leave
out the superfluous word all, there
