ALLIES WAYS
AGAINST SUBS
TOLD BY HUNS
Captain Of U-53 Describes
British Measures Of
Defense.

Paris, July s.-Information re-
ceived from Switzerland accredtts
the following statements to Captain
Ross. commander OF the German
submarine G-53, who is now in
Munich. He says:
German submarines traverse
German territorial waters. mined by
the British navy, escorted by war
ships. Our mine sweepers prepare
the war. A dangerous obstacle for
our submarines Is the cable net
which Is stretched for twenty-five
miles from Dover to Calais.
Boxes Cause Explosion.
The squares of the net are about
nine inches across, and at 200-yard
intervals along the net are anchored
wooden boxes containing explosives.
IL submarine strikes one of these
boxes the latter Immediately ex-
plodes. giving warning of the sub
marines presence to waiting de-
stroyers and patrol boats.
Some OF our submarines pass
above the net and some below 1t.
Similar nets protect the eastern
coast Of England and Scotland.
More than 5000 vessels OF all
sorts-torpedo boats. destroyers.
motorboats and fishing barks-en-
deavor to bring our submarines to
the surface. In addition there are
eamouiaged merchant ships which
cruise about. All these boats are
armed and employ submarine bombs.
These bombs are suspended from
the poop and contain several hun
dred pounds of explosive. They ex-
plode at a certain depth and con-
stituts one of the most disagreeable
measures yet taken against our
submarines. Their effect Is con-
siderable. for they not only shake
up the submarine. but make such
an internal noise that the morale
Of the U-boat crews. especially in
experienced submarine sailors. Is
visibly affected.
Use Listening Boats.
The enemy employees numerous
listening boats armed with micro
phones Of a most sensitive sort. In n
calm sea they are able to hear the
characteristic sound of an approach
ing submarine. Aided by other boats
they then attempt to encircle the
submarine with nets. The English
hope soon, thanks to the inventive
spirit Of the Americans, to discover
the location of our submarines at
a distance OF ten miles.
Near the enemy's coasts We en-
counter dirigiks and areoplanes in
numbers. Our greatest
danger are the submarines which
lurk near the traps and nets. How
ever, it is not an easy matter for
one submarine to torpedo another.
In addition, the enemy employs
great ingenuity in attempting 10

ports That All Fertilizers Paid q
Profit When Used on Wheat.

According to the 1917 report Of the
Michigan state board of agriculture,
complete fertilizer used on wheat In
q corn, wheat, clover rotation In
creased the crop Is bushels per acre.
The experiment station officials calcu.
late that at old prices for both ferti-
lizer and crops the profit for the us.
Of fertilizer was 1881 per acre.
When phosphoric acid and potash
were used the gain over and above the
cost Of fertilizer was $1279-this IN
spite Of the fact that a heavy clover
sod was turned under once In three
years. Acid phosphate alone produced
q net gain of 1881.
The conclusions are as follows: at
should be noted that all fertilizers
have been used with good profits. The
conclusion would seem to be war
ranted that on farms OF similar soil
types the use of fertilizer should
prove profitable, provided, Of course,
there are no other factors, such as
lack Of drainage and improper culture,
that seriously limit production, and
that the use Of a complete fertilizer
should pay best In case a limited
amount Of manure is available, while
on well-stocked farms phosphorus and
potash could probably be uoed more
profitably."

RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION
URGES FARMERS TO ORDER
FALL SUPPLIES EARLY

The following letter from the car
Hailroad administration serves to en-
phasize the importance of conveying

help the transportation situation and
also safeguard himself by placing his
fertilizer order early-Now.

Car Service Section, the Committee on
Fertilizer, $40 Woodward Building,
: Washington, d. G.
Gentlemen: The car service section
It the United States railroad admin
fstration desires to call attention to
the necessity for still heavier loading
II fertilizer cars to be used for sum-
Der and fall business.
Excellent results have followed the
efforts in this direction already made
BY fertilizer manufacturers and ship
pers, and we are able to report that
the average carload of fertilizer this
spring was from 20 to 80 per cent
heavier than In previous seasons. This
economy of space has saved the equiv
silent Of many thousands of freight
ears. In other words, large numbers
Of cars have been released for other
urgent wartime needs-certainly saw
ing Of great Importance In these days
Of severe car shortage.
We feel, however, that even greater
saving must be effected. Practically
every car should 60 out loaded to ca
pacity plus 10 per cent. The demand
Tor cars to move war supplies to the
seaboard is increasing daily. Every
shipper must contribute his share
toward making up the extra car sup
ply required for government uses.
There is only one way In which to do
this, and that is to load cars heavier
and thus ship the same amount of
goods In fewer cars.
We appreciate the fact that In order
to load every car to capacity manu-
facturers must have their orders in
hand at a date sufficiently early to
allow the assembling and grouping of
all less-than-carlOad quantities. This,
Of course. necessitates full and free CO
operation on the part of the farmer
and dealer.
We want to urge upon you to use
every means ut your disposal to secure
such active cooperation from both
dealer and consumer, that orders may
be on hand early enough this summer
TO enable manufacturers to send out
every car loaded to capacity plus 10
Der cent. We feel certain that when
the necessity for this action is brought
forcibly to the attention of the
farmer-upon whose response success
depends-the cooperation secured will
approach 100 per cent.
We must get results, but results Sc
cured through free cooperation are
much to be preferred to results Sc
cured by official regulation.

GREAT PLANS MADE
 FOR WOUNDED HERE
Debarkation Hospitals Splendid1y Equipped, With Boats and Fine
 Iy Fitted Trains.

The Medical Corps Of the United States Army is ready for the recep- tion, care, and treatment of the American wounded from overseas. Three splendidly equipped debarka- ton hospitals in New York City are ready to receive patients, while four others, three to be situated in New York City proper and one at Long Beach, will be ready within a few weeks, says the New York Times.
 The bed capacity of the debarka- ton hospitals, which are now ready, is 5,651, and an equal number will be added when the four receiving hos pitals have been taken over and equipped, which will be before the end of next month.
 In addition, two splendidly ap- pointed hospital trains, each with "a convalescent capacity of 25O patients in addition to thirty bed patients, are these trains, which are known as United States Hospital Trains Num- bers 1 and 4, are ready for their journeys of mercy to any part of the country to which they may be order ed
 Within the next few weeks the first of the seriously wounded from the great allied offensives, whose injuries are such as to incapacitate them for further service in the battle zones, will arrive in New York Already mobolized in New York and ready to minister to these soldiers are 529 officers of the medical, sanitary and dental arms of the Medical Corps, D. GAS trained hospital attendants, ann ! bulance drivers, and other enlisted men of the Medical Service, s4s grad uate army nurses, and sixty-five civ ilian helpers.
 Within short time after a patient Is received from overseas the name of that patient, the extent of his in- juries, and his condition at that time will be communicated to the proper American Red Cross authorities, who will at once notify the immediate rel i atives of the injured man. It is the | earnest desire of the Medical Corps that the relatives of these men will not try to see them while they are

DISCIPLINE OF CzECHO-SLOvAKS
 IS MOST UNIQUE

The problem of discipline is an un- usual one at the training camp which has been established for the Czecho- Slovaks near Stamford, Conn. The men address each other as "brother" and the battalion Is selfgoverning. When there is a breach of order, all the men meet together to talk 1t over.
 SomO trouble occurred in the camp recently because a Slovak miner had become drunk. The men were call ed together after supper and were told of the case of the drunken man who had got into trouble with one of his fellows. They all agreed that this was a reflection on all Czecho- -Slovaks and a disgrace to their company. The guilty man then came forward and made an explanation to the company. His brother" with whom he had in- advertently quarrelled, also came for ward and made his statement. Then both of them shook hands and re- turned to the ranks. Other men spoke, in turn, and gave vigorous temperance talks. Almost one-third of the whole company voted to swear off drinking entirely, and it was un- animously decided that every mans baggage should be searched and if a bottle of liquor was found it should be broken.

WOUNDED CZECHs

Vladivostok, Oct. 3.-Wounded Ce- zechs and Slovaks, victims of the fighting north of Nikelsk, were the special charges of the officers and men of an American warship prior to the arrival of the American Red Cross contingent from Tokio. They were attended by the ships doctor, fed by the ships steward and waited upon day and night by the big-heart- ed sailors.
 When the need became apparent Admiral Knight ordered a nearby warehouse emptied of it's contents and there he improvised a hospital. Sev- eral of the more serious cases had to be removed to a marine hospital for special treatment They begged te return to their cots in the warehouse and to the ministrations of the jack ies." The efforts of the latter to outdo one another in showing kindr ness to the wounded men was touch ing. They gave up their beds and pillows to them.
 When the Czechs arrived they were naturally in a filthy and ragged state. The sailors provided them with sheets in which to wrap themselves while they, the sailors, washed their tattered garments. The ships officers were deeply moved by the devotion of the men and listened good naturedly to obviously manufactured pretexts put forward by the sailors to go ashore and look after their charges.

in the debarkation hospitals, but will wait until the patients have been transferred to that general hospital which is nearest to the home of the wounded soldier.
 The wounded, as we'll as the i'll from natural causes who are sent home from France, will, at the ear Hest possible opportunity, be trans ferred to. the general hospitals, of which there are twenty-seven in the United States, all of which, with a few exceptions are now ready to receive their maximum quotas of patients. In addition, a large and finely appointed general hospital which has been built near Halifax, Nova Scotia, is ready.
 '"The parents, other near relatives and the friends of our wounded or otherwise incapacitated men," a high officer of the Medical Corps, who is now on duty in New York, said yes terday, should bear in mind that the government is prepared to and will give the very best of care to every American boy who is returned home as result of wounds or illness due the overseas service.
 "No detail necessary to the care and best possible treatment of the soldiers has been overlooked, and parents and relatives can be assured that they will be as tenderly cared for as they would be in their own homes.''
 At the head of the great medical receiving and clearing station of this port is Colonel James K. Kennedy, one of the regular army's most distin- guished medical officers. Under the personal direction of Colonel Ken nedy the great machine has been created It has been a huge task, the accomplishment of which has ne- cessitated a years work of the hard est kind. A little more than a year ago an officer and two men were or dered to New York to begin the work and today the force has grown until it totals S,35f officers, enlisted men, nurses, and civilian employees.
 The headquarters from which Col onel Kennedy directs the operation of | the organization is at 6S-70 Hudson 1 street, Hoboken. There also are the | offices of his principal assistants, Major F. J. Peirce, of the Medical | Transport Division, Major W. W. Conger of the Attending Surgeons Division, Captain C. M. Thomas of the Transport Supply Division, Major E. | J. Barrett of the Hospital Division | Major H. R. Greene of the Personnel l Division, Major F. H. Schorer of the

ace was announced in the press yes. terday. It is understood that the government expects to take over ths big exhibition building on or before Sept. Is next The Hotel Nassau as Sept. 5.
 Another hospital will be in what is the finest and most modern club building in New York city. Still an other, probably for the treatment oe homeopathic cases, will be in the northern part of the city. This is expected to be in charge of Major Menas E. Gregory of Bellevue hos pital.
 As for the hospital trains, they are each of ten cars. and represent the last word in railroad construction. Captain G. B. Reitz, M. C., is in charge of Train 1, while Train is in charge of Captain Corwin S. Mayes.
 In addition to the great chain oE hospitals for the care of overseas patients, Colonel Kennedy also has under his jurisdiction the three big embarkation hospitals for the treat-t ment of men who are under ordersi for overseas service and the base hospitals at Camp Merritt, N. J. and Camp Mills, L. I.
 The base hospitals are the insti>i tutions which in the main are devot- ed to the care and treatment of sol- diers in training at home. The won- derful situation in the medical service can be appreciated when it Is statec@ that the normal bed capacity of the hospitals which are now in opera ton or soon will be is 90,095. and that in an emergency this capacity can be increased to 99,243 beds.
 The normal capacity of the general hospitals, which are to receive the overseas patients, and which are now ready is 14,753 beds, the emergency capacity being 17,447. Additional general hospital construction now under way will add 7,027 beds to these totals.
 The totals already given do not in-T clude the convalescent hospitals which in the main will be the homes. and estates of American men and women who have turned them over to the government for the duration of the war and as long thereafter as they may be needed. The govern ment has received the offers of scores of such homes and it is the intention of the Medical Department to accept; their use whenever practicable.
