LONDON, June 20.-The German
U-boats are unequal to the warfare
against them, is the virtual admis-
sion Of Captain Persius, the naval
critic of the Berliner Tageblatt, says
a Rotterdam dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph. Capt Persius writes:
Every layman knows that U-boat
losses are unavoidable owing to the
continually increasing sharpness and
effectiveness of the defene measures
of the enemy which, perhaps. will
further increase as the war progresses
1T is scarcely to be denied that our
enemies are both carrying on the war
and living ard that it will be possible
for them 10 defend themselves against
tonnage needs for a long time at any
rate. From the beginning of the u
boat war it was a mistake, often COM
mitted amongst us, to underestimate
the resources Of our enemies"

diseases of any kind. A larger price
will be paid for this seed wheat than
for that hauled to the elevators.

Next week agricultural experts will
be here from Purdue university, and
for three days will tour Wayne county
selecting the best fields for seeding

HOUSTON CALLS
UPON PEOPLE TO
AID IN HARVEST
Secretary of Agriculture Tells
Bankers Association of Far
mers' Needs.
(By Associated Pressl

DUBUQUE, Ia, June 20-American
food stocks, increasing because of the
effort of farmers, were classed as an
additional guaranty of the successful
outcome of the war, by Secretary of
Agriculture Houston, in an address to-
day before the Iowa Bankers Associa-
ton. Along with his presentation
of figures summarizing agricultural
accomplishment, he. called upon the
residents of cities and towns to see
that bountiful harvests promised do
not waste because Of labor shortage.
OF the war itself, he said: There is
no way out of this grim business eX-
cept through it."
This war will not be won by a
miracle or by enchantment," he added.
There can be no turning back. no
faltering, no hesitation. We are de-
termined to teach the lesson law must
among nations as among individuals
and to establish guarantees for future
peace and the prevention of a recur-
renee OF such a calamity as this"
AS to the agricultural effort during
1916, Secretary Houston said the
American farmers had responded
heartily to the call of the allies pop
ulations for food
Tells Of Increases.
Farmers planted 23,000,000 acres
more in leading food crops in 1917
than in 1916" he said "They greatly
increased the numbers of live stock in
spite Of expectations. They increased
the number of mich cows by $4,000,
of other cattle by nearly two million,
the number Of sheep for the first time
in a generation and half, by 100000
and Of swine by nearly four million.
In spite Of expectation Of horses and
mules, they increased the number by
$4,000. The indications are that they
will do better even this year."
I'VE shall not fail to win the war
because OF food shortage" he said,
and need not point out to bankers
the large bearing Of this enormous
production on the foundations and ma
chinery Of finance and credit.
These statements mean another
thing. They mean difficulties of har-
vesting. 1t is a matter of patriotism
and business for you to omit no ef-
fort to help in the matter of labor
supply This duty is of the most ur-
gent and impelling character in this
crisis"
