Conveys Are Effective.

With more than 100000 soldiers
sent overseas, officials pointed to the
small number. 291, lost by German
submarines as showing the effective
ness of the convoy system. The men
lost were on the torpedoed British
steamers Tuscania and Moldavia. The
former was taking troops from Amer
lea to England an dthe latter from
England to France.
The comparatively small number
of men dying from wounds is pointed
to as indicating the efficiency of the
ambulance and hospital systems, and
the fact that only 1894 men have
died of disease is accepted as proof
of the excellent physical condition OF
Americas fighting men.
Another satisfying consideration Is
that of the wounded men a very high
percentage return to duty at the
front in less than elk weeks.

GROWN PRINCE is AT STAND
STILL WITH FEW UNlMPORT-
ANT GAINS AS REWARD. -.
ALLIES GUNS HOLD THE LINE
Germans Expected to Make Another
Desperate Effort to Get Somewhere
This Summer-Heavy Artillery
Fire in Marine Section.

The attempted drive of the armies
of the German crown prince toward
Paris seems definitely to have been
checked, thousands of their men hav-
ing been fed to the guns on the Mont
didier-Noyon and Soissons-Villers Cot
terets sectors in the mad rush to
pierce allied lines in these regions
and thus gain fair way to the
French capital.
Little to Show for Losses.
The maneuvers of the German com
manders apparently have brought to
the German arms nothing more than
the obliteration of the Noyon salient
and the capture of few unimportant
positions southwest of scissors, near
the outskirts of the Villers-Cotterets
| forest.
The sixth day of the offensive be-
tween Noyon and Montdidier wit
messed only small local actions, the
depleted German forces evidently
fearing again to test the mettle OF
the French and allied troops, whose
|
worked such havoc among them. Less
than three days was required by The
allies to brin gthe enemy to virtual
halt south of the Aisne.
Main Effort to Be Launched.
The feeling still prevails in military
circles in France that the main effort
of the Germans has not yet been
launched, and speculation is rife as
to when it will come, and what the
general objective will be-whether
Paris or the channel ports. 1t is
known that the enemy has still large
effectives available behind the lines,
thousands of them brought from the
Russian front.
, The armies of General Foch, how
ever, everywhere are watchful and OF
r such strength and good morale as to
lead to the belief, not matter where
!. the enemy chooses to oppose them
e they will be able to give a splendid
c account of themselves.
Seemingly it is not improbable that
q Field Marshal Haigs forces will be
: asked to again measure their strength
= against the Germans, and that the
= territory near Arras and in the
Scarpe sector, or before both posi-
4 tions, may be chosen by the Germans
l. as the theater. In both these sectors
l. the Germans guns again are working
with the violence that generally pres
n. ages an attack. At last accounts
a however, the infantry had not beel
% unleashed.
~ In the Marine sector there is almos
c continual artillery activity in tn
If region of Chateau Thierry, where th
N Americans are fighting beside tn
II French. On the other sectors OF tn
front comparative quiet prevails

THE BACK YARD GARDEN.

A surprising amount of vegetables
can be raised in the back yard garden.
The rows can be quite close together,
to 2 feet, and the season plants
can be started between the rows of
early vegetables. For instance, plant
peas, onions, carrots and beets in rows
2 feet apart and then plant radishes,
onion sets and early beets between the
rows, thus making the rows / foot
apart till these early season vege-
tables are used. Sweet corn, beans,
cabbage, potatoes, ETC., can be in rows
2 feet apart. Each one will need to
do lot of planning in order to secure
the best use of the space available. -

Then we asked Townley that if he
wouldn't take it away from the league
to put it on solid foundations bus
mess basis, like the Rochdale plan.
So that when man put 500 in it he
would have some stock-something
to show for the money.
Then Townley claimed that if he
did that-put it on the Rochdale plan
they would keep him on the witness
stand all the time answering ques-
tons.
then handed copy of the con-
tract to Shipley, and he handed it to
Townley. I asked if that was true
copy of the contract, and he said it
was.

600 farmers had taken certificates.
That meant collections there of $780,
900.

Then said to Mr.. Townley:

"Then what is to become of the

Townley stepped up to me, shook
