1918 CANNING SEASON
IS VITAL TO VICTORY

Never before IN the history OF Amer
lea. has the canning season played
such an important part as 1t does this
year. House wives must can for vic
tory and can ~ much as possible.
Strawberries have come and are 60
ing-for another year unless wise
housekeepers pop them into cans and
store them in cool dark fruit closets
for winter. Berries OF other sorts are
appearing. and from now on. practical
ly every week will bring some new
fruit or vegetable upon the market
which should be stored away for win
ter food by the women Of America who
understand to how great an extent
their canning now means to the food
supply OF the future.
Because the food administration rec
ognized the tremendous assistance
American women would render BY

would proclaim the fact that ranch

WEST BOUND
TROOP SHIP SUNK.

Washington, June 2S.-German
submarines operating on this side of
the Atlantic ocean hacesunktheir
first troop ship. The navy depart
ment announced today that a Brit
ish trasport under charter by the
American government and bound to
this country had been destroyed
June IS, some 700 miles east of the
Delaware capes, and 81 members of
the crew are missing. There were
no troops aboard.
The troop ship apparently was
not under convoy. The submarine
was not seen until a torpedo struck
the ship. Afterwards the submer-
sible rose to the surface and fired
10 shots into the sinking vessel.
When the steamer settled the crew
took to the boats, the occupants of
four of which, numbering 81 men,
have been landed. Three boats
are missing, and a search is being
made for them.
The fact that the British vessel
was sunk far off the coast led Off
Gals to believe that she either had
encountered a home-bound submar-
inc that had been operating in
American waters, or else one that
was bound here for further raids
on shipping. The fact that the sea
wolves which first appeared off the
Atlantic coast late last month had
not been heard from since June IA
caused most officers to hold to the
first theory.
The last sinking reported off the
coast occurred some ninety miles
east of the Virginia capes, and it
was argued that in the four days
elapsing before the British trans
port was sent down, the submarine
would have had ample time to reach
the position where the troop ship
was sunk.
me vessel destroyed was said to
have been the former Russian
steamer Dvinsk, but the navy de-
partment was not permitted to make
the name public under an agree
ment with the British admiralty.
The Dvinsk is understood to have
been in the British service and
chartered to the movement of Amer
lean troops to France.
OF the four boats from the steam
er accounted for, two were found
by a steamer, and their occupants
taken to New York, third was
picked up by another steamer and
the men taken to Hampton Roads,
and the fourth by a sailing vessel,
which landed the crew at Burmuda.

obtaining a direct hit in detach-
ment of marching Germans.
For days the Americans have been
expecting that the enemy, stung by
the defeat administered to him re-
Gently on this front, would make a
vigorous assault upon pur forces,
and 1t was partly for this reason
that the American operations in the
Belleau section were carried out.
With these operations completed, the
americans now have the country for
several miles in front of them under
their eyes and guns and can see what
is developing. In consequence,
when the expected blow comes they
will be that much better prepared
to meet It,
The American troops have made
all preparations, and the enemy will
get an exceedingly warm reception If
he tries what the situation to-day
indicates he has in mind. The
Americans say that no matter where
the enemy strikes he is bound to pay
dearly for his effort, and that the
bigger the target the better the
american forces will like it.
To the east of Chateau Thierry
along the River Marine, except for
constantly increasing long range
on both sides, comparative
quiet reigns. The1e has been no
because the bright
on the water prevents a
crossing, but the Americans snipers
have been so active in the past four
days that the Germans rarely ever
make an appearance.

SUPPLIES GOING ACROSS
AT HIGH RATE.

Washington. - experimenting
President Wilson's announcement
that more than 100000 American
troops have embarked for France,
Chairman Dent, of the Military Com
mittee, laid before the House to-day
a review of war preparations during
the fifteen months of war, prepared
by Secretary Baker. 1t showed
that there are now 10000 officers
and 100000 men with the colors,
compared with a total of 1924 Off
GERS and 2O2,51O men in the regu-
lars and National Quad fourteen
months ago.
The statement shows that 2S6
combat airplanes had been delivered
up to June and that the produc-
ton rate of this type was then eighty
per week. More than 2,00O Liberty
motors have been delivered and the
weekly production rate was 115 dur
ing the first week in June.
Sufficient rifles are now being re-
ceived," the statement says, "to
equip an army division every three
days. More than 100000 rifles
had been produced and delivered up
to June l."
More than 900 heavy Browning
machine guns were delivered during
May and the deliveries for that
month of light Brownings totaled
$500.
Speaking of the morale of the
army in France, the statement says:
I'm France it was necessary to
change the name of the zone behind
the armies, from the Service of the
rear to service of supply because of
the difficulty in getting men to serve
in region having the shell-proof
connotation of the word rear
Even at the actual front there is
something of tradition against the
use of the term NO Mans Land
Our men prefer to call it-and to
make it Yankee Land"

With this, the sentry resumed the

company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude Of
Lloyd, and, with sheer, said to him:

he did not realize the awfulness Of
his sentence; his brain seemed para.

under guard, In a motor lorry to the
sandbagged guardroom in the village,
where he was dumped on the floor and
left, while sentry with fixed bayo-
net paced up and down In front OF the
entrance.
Bully beef, water and biscuits were
left beside him for his supper.
The sentry, seeing that he ate moth
ing, came inside and shook him by the
shoulder, saying in a kind voice:
"Cheero, laddie, better eat some
thing. You'll feel better. Don't give
up hope. You'll be pardoned before
morning. I know the way they run
these things. They're only trying to
scare you, that's all. Come now, that's

the world look different to you"
The good-hearted sentry knew he
was lying about the pardon. He knew
nothing short of a miracle could save
the poor lad.
Lloyd listened eagerly to his sentry's
words, and believed them. A look of
hope came into his eyes, and he raven
ously ate the meal beside him.
In about an hours time, the chap
lain came to see him, but Lloyd would
have none of him. He wanted no par
son he was to be pardoned.
The artillery behind the lines sud-
denly opened up with everything they
had. An intense bombardment of the
enemy's lines had commenced. The
roar Of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with a rush,
and he covered on the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position, came
in and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
'.Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches dose Of their
