Notwithstanding the fact that taxi

AMERICANS HALT HUN RAID
Germans Take Clothing From the
Dead and Attempt to Reach YAM
kee Trenches-Ruse Discovered.

With the American Army in France,
April 29.-The enemy laid down a
heavy baTage in front of the Ameri-
can trenches in the Toul sector at
three a'clock in the morning, the bonn
bardment lasting an hour.
After an interval of silence he re-
peated the performance at five o'clock
and half an hour later the German in
fantrv started for the American lines.
SO intense was the American counter
attack that the enemy was repulsed
without getting close enough to be en-
gagged by the American infantry.
The Germans have been stripping
the bodies of dead French soldiers in
other sectors and wearing these
clothes, have come over at the point
where the French and American lines
join.
This method of attack was used
during the attack on the Americans at
Agreement forest two weeks ago. On
that occasion they spoke French and
said they had come to assist the Amer
leans, but the ruse was discovered and
they were driven off.

Energy of the Tides.

Talking about power conservation,
but along quite another line. there is,
as everybody knows, regular periOdi-
cal discussion over the possibility Of
using tidewater to turn the wheels Of
industry. Formerly there were many
tide mills along the Atlantic coast
They have not wholly disappeared. An
engineer has recently drawn upon his
recollection to describe the method en-
ployed for Harvesting the power of
the sea-" years ago, on Staten Island.
A dam was constructed on a creek at
water pressed upon them, gates in this
dam were opened; when the tide began
to recede the pressure behind the gates
closed them and securely impOunded
the water. The rest was simply the
ordinary problem of providing sluice
gates and a water wheel. The mill
continued to run until the tide in the
creek rose high enough to be nearly
level with the water in the dam. Then
there had to be a suspension of the in
dustry, a suspension, of course, which
came irregularly, being determined by
daily changes in the tides, but even this
apparent difficulty would have been
solved by inventive genius long ago,
if it had not, in tne past, been so easy
to obtain cheap power from the burn
ing of coal.--Christian Science Moni-

"and of Lanterns"

Among the Chinese there has exist
ed for ages passion for fireworks and
lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river and canal, as soon
as night comes on, the lanterns make
their appearance. They are hung out
at the door of every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles of the
pagoda; they form the fiery crown Of
every shop front; they cluster round
the houses of the rich and light up
the novels of the poor they are borne
with the carriage of the traveller, and
they swing from the yards and masts
of his vessel.

Y.M..C.A. WORKERS
SAVED FROM SHIP
Steamer Bearing Yankees to
France Sunk by U-Boat.
DESTROYERS TO THE RESCUE
Passengers Taken From Lifeboats-
IIlinoisan Is Hero of Disaster as
He Rescues Injured Soldier
and Unconscious Wife.

London, April 30.-A party of 81
American army Young Mems Christian
association workers under Arthur f..
Hungerford arrived in London. The
ship on which they sailed was tor
pedoed Sunday morning and sank in II
minutes. All the passengers and all
but three of the crew were saved.
The passengers were picked up in
lifeboats and landed at a British port.
On their arrival In London they were
taken in charge by the American Y. NJ.
c. A. and Red Cross.
The number of persons on board the
vessel was about 250. One of the ships
officers said the Americans conducted
themselves in an admirable manner.
Destroyers were sent Immediately
to the rescue and all the llfeboats were
picked up within half an hour.
The vessel was struck amidships
while proceeding in a large convoy
under the protection of a number of
destrOyers. 1t was proceeding at about
ten knots in bright moonlight when
y
list and three minutes later the boilers
blew up, extinguishing the lights all
over the ship.
''The Americans behaved like veter-
ans, and were of the greatest assist
ance in launching the lifeboats and
handling them," said one of the Off
GERS of the ship.
New York, May 1.-The vessel
which was sunk in English waters
while carrying 81 Young Mems Chris
iSh steel steamship Orissa, of {, 1876 tons
gross, it was learned here. She left
an American Atlantic port on April II.
The Orissa was owned by the British
India Steam Navigation company and
was built at Sunderland in 1897.
Among the passengers, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Thring had the most exciting
experience. Mr.. Thring is an Austria
liam who was invalided from the Brit
iSh army several months ago after two
lipoli. He went to Australia, where he
was married, and was returning to
England with his bride to settle the es-
tate OF two brothers who were killed
recently in France.
The torpedo struck just beneath their
cabin and they were thrown from their
berth and injured severely. The state
room door was jammed so that it could
not be opened. Mr.. Thring broke the
partition and carried his unconscious
wife to the deck, where he, too, fell I'M
conscious. Both were carried to a life
boat by Arthur Bogue Y. M. G. A.
man from Chicago.
After being taRen aboard the de-
StrOyerS the survivors had a trip of five
hours to port, where crowd gathered
at the pier to meet them.

Headwork and Teamwork
GIVE HAVE A VICTORY TO WIN"
INSURED A BIG CORN CROP

fore they became troublesome, and
reduced evaporation of soil moisture
to minimum. A smoothing harrow,
going over the field twice, completed
the work Of preparation and he had a
seed bed almost fit to plant a garden.
On May 10 the planter was started,
dropping three kernels to the hill in
checks three feet six inches apart each
way. AS the soil is colder the deeper
we go, he never plants much over one
inch deep, but hastens sprouting by
the use Of a roller which. follows close
behind the planter. He narrowed the
field right after the roller, and again
every three days until the corn was
up. No crust could possibly form to
retard the young tender plants as
they came through-and come through
they did in a hurry.
Ten days after planting his eight
tooth, two-horse walking cultivator
was put into operation, going down
three inches and rather close to the
row. The second time through he
raised the shovels slightly, and so
with each time following, until by
July 1, he was going only one inch in
depth. Up to this time he had Guilt
waited the entire field seven times, and
the corn was waist-high. Of course,
there were no weeds, but he had
learned to cultivate even when there
were no weeds.

MUST KNOW WHERE WE
GO IN AGRICULTURE

Nothing is Of so much Importance
as having a definite object to accom-
plish, whether it is winning as big a
thing as the war, or keeping records
SO that one knows exactly where he
stands. The mariner who sails the
seas with no compass, or who has no
instrument by which he can tell his
latitude and longitude, is in no posi-
ton to carry his cargo directly from
port to port. Now, if never before,
must we know what we are doing and
exactly where we are going.-H. L.

MEDAL FOR YANKEE TAR
Secretary Daniels Tells of Act and
Gives Jackie Medal of Honor
and 500.

Washington, April 29.-How John
Mackenzie, a chief boatswain's mate
in the naval reserve, by extraordi-
nary heroism saved the converted
yacht Remlik, on patrol service in
European waters, was told in an an
nouncement by Secretary Daniels that
the navy department had awarded
Mackenzie the medal Of honor and
gratuity of 500. During heavy gale
on December II depth charge weigh
ing several hundred pounds broke loose
from its fastenings at the stern Of the
Remlik and went sweeping about the
deck. Mackenzie, realizing the danger,
shouted: watch me; I'll get it," and
dashed down the deck, f1inging himself
upon the charging cylinder. Macken-
zie is a native of Massachusetts and
his mother, Mrs. Mary Mackenzie,
lives in South Hadley Falls. Mass.

home, and was always telling his chill
dren of its greatness.
He went back and looked around.
He visited his brothers and old
Schoolmates and found them all work
ing hard and making a bare living,
with nothing laid by. He found how
bitterly his memories deceived him and
his stay was short.
When he turned his face again west
ward he said to his brothers, II am 60

girls are in Wisconsin. / have plenty.
THANK God | didn't stay in this coun-
try; if | had l would have been as
poor as you are now"
He came back just before the war
broke out, and when it did he said to
his boys, Boys, this country is worth
fighting for. Go, and if / were young
err would go with you" This man had
to go back to his old home before he
became q true American at heart. This
war will teach us all something.
It will teach you Republicans and
you Democrats that to serve your
party best is to serve your country
first. 1t will teach YOU not to put on
your ticket Il man of foreign birth to
catch that vote, but to put on an
American to get the American vote.
I call all men Americans who are
citizens Of this country and whose
hearts are with us. There was q lot
of talk about nationality at the begin
ming of this war; and I want to say
that some Of our worst people, doing
our country the most harm, are not of
German blood. Some are men in
whom we have put our trust for years.
People don't belong here unless they
are backing this government. | say,
better death than slavery.
We can win this war. The great
principle for which our forefatherS
fought in the Revolutionary war is at
stake, and the principle of the Civil
war is still with us. That is what we
are fighting for now, and it is worth
While to fight for it; we all know it is
now. That is the reason we gave
Cuba her freedom, and sent an army
not as soldiers but teachers to the
Philippine islands.
We have no politics now; we are
with our president because the ma
1ority of our people said he should be
our president. l am proud of our
American people and 1 will not calmly
see one of our American boys killed in
France or sacrificed for any traitor
here at home.
There are going to be a great many
mistakes made in this war, but this is
no time to bewail them. Profit by
them and go on and win. Let your
prayer be to the Lord of nations to
guard over our president, our congress
our army, our navy, and all of us; to
speedily end in the right way this

While this is pretty much a gasoline
war, so far as transport goes, there
are many conditions wherein the motor

hauling food and munitions over
muddy roads, or rushing the guns to
the front, the mule and the big horse
have proved invaluable After the
war they will still be in great demand
in the mighty work of turning the bat
