New York, June 81 The distress,

Yachtsmen Playing Important
Role In The War

United States Food Administrator,
Herbert Hoover.
Recent press dispatches widely cir
culated through the country have Civ
en- the wholly false impression that
there is no longer need for rigorous
conservation Of wheat and flour the
Food Administration declares that ev
cry aspect Of the wheat situation both
present and prospective intensises the
need for the greatest possible limi-
tation in the American consumption
of wheat products. If present re-
strictions should be in the slightest
degree relaxed it would result in Sc
rious want for the people of Europe
before the new crop can reach the
market.
The Food Administration estimate
OF the position on the first of June,
indicates total available supply un-
til the ney harvest, including the
grain which will be available from
the farms in country and terminal
,solutely necessary shipments to our
elevators and mill elevators, of about
fifty-six million bushels. Of this thirty
million bushels must be exported be-
fore the new wheat is available for
export. If we are to maintain the alb
solutely necessary shipments to out
army and the allies. that leaves about
'twenty-six million bushels. OF this
thirty million bushels must be export
ed before the new wheat is available
for export. If we are to maintain the
absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies, that leaves
about twenty-six million bushels for
domestic consumption for the next
two months.
! Normal American consumption is
something over forty million bushels
a month so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third of the normal. In addition to
the wheat on the farms and in ele-
vators, there is always an indetermi
nate further amount in transit and in
dealers hands, and this can never be
reckoned in the -four available for use
for export and use at home. AS a mat
ter of fact this stock is not actually
available since these supplies must
remain constantly in flow; they re.
main a permanent stock, the removal
OF which would later cause q period
Of acute shortage in distribution be
fore new wheat would be available.
1 There is further an inclination tc
include new crop prospects with pres
ent conditions, which has led to con
fusion. The harvest will not be gen
orally available in -four until the mid
die of August or early September, al
though in the extreme south it will b
somewhat earlier.
At recent meeting of the Fedora
Food Administrators in Washington
representing all forty-eight states, /
was the unanimous view, that even |
the harvest does prove abundant, /
will be the first duty Of the American
people to place every grain they cal
save into storage as against possible
bad years ahead, in consequence
there should be no anticipation of un
: limited wheat bread until the war /:

(By Associated Press.)

Dover, England, June 1.-Men who
were amateur yachtsmen in the days
of peace constitute very largely the
nersonnel of the fleets OF motor
launches which have played an I'M
portant part in most of the British
operations in the English Channel
during the past three and half
wears. In the recent Zeebrugge af-
fair more than score Of them were
engaged, putting up the smoke screen
and acting @as mosquito escort" to
the destroyers and other ships en-
gagged.
The yachtsmen who man these
launches entered the naval service at
the beginning of the war with an in
innate knowledge of the waters
around the British Isles, and also OF
the French and Belgian coastal wa
ters so that they were able to per-
form many important services.
Dozens of the launches which they
pilot are of American manufacture.
Many others, especially those used in
the early days Of the war, were fast
pleasure craft, lent to the Admiralty
and usually commanded by their own
ers, who received commissions in the
Volunteer Reserve.
It is true that these men had only
been sailors, but their local knowl-
edge was often equal to that OF the
professional fisherman, and to this
preliminary advantage they soon add
ell the benefits derived from intensive
courses of naval instruction. At pres
ent all these men have become pro-
tessional and qualified members OF
the British Senior Service"
Although these motor launches are
built primarily for fast patrol work
they usually carry serviceable gun
and in several cases have given good
account of themselves in fight. A
few days ago, a German submarine
sighted an American sailing ship and
attacked her. Before the U-boat could
do any damage, however, a watchfu
motor launch appeared and opened
fire The enemy, taken by surprise
was compelled to withdraw his at
tcntion from the American and de
fend himself against his tiny enemy
The sailing ship escaped without sus
tanning any damage, and the subma
rine was compelled to submerge undel
a rain Of shells.
The motor-launch fleet comes tech
nically under the head of "Auxiliar,
Patrol" in the Admiralty ledgers,
place which it shares with its part
ner, the trawler fleet. The trswle
patrol is manned mainly by fisher
men, as the motor launches ar
manned by yachtsmen. An indica
ton of the essential democracy Of tn
British character is to be found in tn
good-fellowship which exists betwee
the men OF the trawlers and the me
Of the motor launches.

BRUINS HALVES
WITH PHiLLIES
Two Loose Games of Baseball Di-
yided by Cubs, j to 10 and
IL to 6.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 26.--By
breaking even with the Phillies to-
day in nearly five hours of steam
ing endeavor, teeming with every
thing except major league base
ball, Chicago's Cubs lost ground to
the, Giants and wound up only three
laps ahead
Moran's men won the first game,
10 to 5, and MitchelIs tribe the sec
ond by a score of II to 6, making
total of 80 runs for the day. There
also were IT bases on balls.
Each manager was obliged to
use numerous pitchers, and Boss
Mitchell had to use one Of his twice.
Phil Douglas, who started the first
game, was bumped off the slab with
only one man out in the first inning.
and that was voluntary on the vic
TINS part.
Two other sons of Dixie-Carter
and Walker, were required to finish
that encounter on the Cub side
Mule Watson, who opposed Doug
las at the start, was driven to
cover before the third inning was
finished, and Hogg had to save the
game
In the second battle the Cubs
whaled Oeschger hard and piled up d
lead of six runs in five innings for
Claude Hendrix, who shut out the
Phils during that time But in the
sixth they went after Claude hard,
and but for the generosity of
Oeschger would have won the game
by whaling Hendrix out of it in the
seventh.

an effort to get the big Frenchman's
signature to a Cub contract. 1t was
the second big league offer made
Lajoie since the suspension of play
in the American association; the
first proposition having come from
the New York Giants. Terms were
wired the tribe pilot Tuesday by
the Cubs, and this move followed
up by a personal visit by Craighead
yesterday.
