BIG SEA BATTLE NEAR?
German Admiralty Is Considering a
Naval Offensive

Washington, June 12.-Further evil
dence that Germany, in its efforts to
end the war this summer, is planning
to support its land offensive by send
ing its high seas forces against the
combined British and American grand
fleet, is given in an official dispatch
from Switzerland.
"a telegram of an official nature,
says the dispatch, lis being spread
broadcast in Germany which says that
the German admiralty is considering
a big naval offensive. Orders are sup
posed to have been given to keep the
whole fleet in readiness and a certain
number of naval officers of high rank
have been hurriedly recalled from
Switzerland and other neutral coun-
tries where they have been spending
their leave.
1.-The Keller Zeitung speaks of ex-
traordinary activity in the ports, and
the Hamburger Post publishes an in
terview with Won Tirpitz, who was
asked If Germany was in position t.
measure herself with the English
fleet The admiral naturally replied
in the affirmative, saying after their
land forces have pushed the French
and English back on the other side OF
Paris it would be the turn Of the kali
ser's boats to drive the English of
the high seas.''
Both in Washington and in the al
lied capitals a German sea offensive
on a grand scale long has been re-
garded as a possibility, and the ap-
pearance of the Teutonic fleet in the
North sea at any time would not be
unexpected. ~
If the battle comes the American
naval forces will play their part

Everywhere the public is being
urged to buy it's coal now for next win
ter's use. The importance of follow
ing this advice may be better appre-
ciated when it is remembered that new
ships are now being built at a rapid
and steadily increasing rate. Every
new ship will become a consumer of
coal and all this coal must be hauled
to the seaboard by the railroads. The
fuel problem next winter will not be
one, of price but one of getting the
coal at whatever cost

None can forecast what commercial
and industrial conditions are to be
when the war closes, but we do know
that war savings certificates will be
sound and secure. Every dollar loaned

comes With their savings invested in
these sound securities. the American
people will be well prepared to meet

The Americans have waited a long
time for a chance at the Huns. Now
they are getting 1t and they appear to
be making the most of their oppor-
tunities. They are unaccustomed to
defensive fighting and show an eager
desire to carry the war into the enemy
lines. Most Americans are practiced
marksmen from boyEocd and this fact
promises to be of telling effect on
their adversaries. The shots that find
their mark are what count.

May USE ice TEA
Kansas Eating Houses, How
ever, Should Conserve Sugar.
lines Asks That 1t Be Served
in Envelopes.

wichita, Kan, June 12.-Kansas
eating houses were asked by Federal
Food Administrator Walter p. Innes
TODAY to help eliminate loss of sugar
in ice tea by serving sugar in enve-
lopes instead of allowing customers to
help themselves.
Iced liquids are poor solvents for
sugar. AS a result much settles to
the bottom of the glass without giving
out much sweetening. Frequently
customers leave from an inch to an
inch and a half Of sugar in the bot
tom of their glasses. If a smaller
portion was put IN the glass and Well
stirred all would dissolve and the tea
would be just as sweet as If four or
five heaping spoonfuls of sugar were
heaped in a glass and allowed to set
tie. Some restaurants report sugar
purchases have doubled since the
opening of~the ice tea season.
No Ice Tea Order.
Incorrect reports have been circu.
lated that ice tea is tabooed. To coun-
teract these reports and at the same
time conserve, Innes today asked the
press to convey the following message
to owners of all eating houses:
use of ice tea is not forbidden II
