GERMAN CASUALTIES
since JULY | PLACED
AROUND half MILLION
OF The ll2,WO Prisoners
Taken Americans Captur-
ed 10000 to $4,000.
By Carl D. eroat,

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Aug. 29.--Twenty thous-
and to twenty five thousand German
prisoners constitute America S portion
of the great allied haul of 10000 since
July |.
These figures are based on careful
estimates of important war department
officials today. The last official fig
ures on American totals were 1900
towards the end of the lSoissons- Rheims
struggle. After that time several size
able bags we're made. And. the Amer
leans have continued to take prisoners
ever since the main fighting died down.
What ratio the prisoners bear to
the dead and wounded is somewhat
doubtful One high official estimated
to the United Press that the Tcuton
dead and wounded certainly run more
than three times the captures.
On the whole there is an inclination TO
believe that the German casualties, in
eluding prisoners, run half million
or mort since July /.
Germany was reported in March
ready to sacrifice million or more
men TO accomplish her aims. The Ger
man morale now is at a lower ebb than
ever. Officers say this is proved by the
increasingly large number Of prisoners
the British have taken.
Many Of these have shown re-
markable willingness TO be taken.
Whether some plan will be made for
bringing German prisoners to America
lis a subject war department officials
decline to discuss. It is known, how
ever. that the matter has been under
serious discussion.

Nearly All Undersea Boats
Are Equipped With Kitchens
Where Cook Prepares Meals

In the earlier submarines no pro-
vision was made for cooking the mems
meals. Everything had to be eaten
cold.
This did not matter so very much
when these craft were quite small,
with a correspondingly small radius of
action.
But when larger undersea boats
came to be built, the provision Of prop
erly cooked hot meals became press
ing necessity.
So now, says writer in Pearson's
Magazine, all but the very oldest types
of submarines are fitted with a small
galley, no bigger than very moder-
ate-sized cupboard, where the cook
has just room to stand in front Of his
dolls house stove. This latter is cleo
trically heated.
The menu on board a submarine Is
not varied, consisting mostly Of stew,
with an occasional "mugup" Of salt
fish for a change, and plenty Of strong,
Diping-hot coffee to chase away sleep
from the tired eyelids.
Meals are eaten out Of aluminium
dishes in collapsible mess-tables when
he vessel is submerged. When the
submarine is running on the surface
her crew usually prefer to take their
plates of stew on deck, and the North
sea attends to its sailing for them.

Wrist Motion Ascribed as
Secret of Attaining Speed
In Art of Husking Corn

Corn husking is rapidly becoming
an art of rare attainment. In years
past, observes q writer in the Illinois
State Register, many good stories have
been told about records achieved BY
men accomplished in that art. AS
stated by husking expert, in years
past, farmers coupled size with skill
and would not hire a hand to husk
corn unless he was giant physically.
Those were the days before the sci
ence of the business had been deyel-
oped. Experience taught the lesson
that the wrist motion, If properly ac-
quired would enable an ordinary husk-
er to develop speed. When the sci
ence Of. the game was brought out,
the smaller men gradually won recog-
milton as huskers Of rare ability.
No standard Of production can be
laid down to govern the ability of the
average husker. The foundation of
the corn determines greatly the speed
of the picker. With corn of medium
height, well matured and standing
erect, there is some opportunity to
estimate q good days work. These
three conditions rarely ever existed
at the same time.
Viewed from the angle of trade,
corn shucking is rapidly becoming a
craft, according to the announcement
of local trade journal. In past
years corn shuckers have worked
without any attempt to secure uni
form rate. In most cases the shuckeT
worked by the day and it followed
that on rainy and stormy days, the
men drew their wages, even though
they did not go into the field.
AS corn husking grew to be more
and more a profession, 1t Is reported
the huskers began to angle for short.

Total Value of 1918 Food
Crop in France Falls Below
Amount Produced Last Year

Despite an increase Of 25 per cent
In wheat production. the total value
OF the 1918 crop Of cereals, beans and
potatoes in France is less than that Of
last year. This has been disclosed by
M. Boret, the French food controller
Of the chamber Of deputies, in an ad-
dress.
1T should be stated clearly" said
M. Boret, "that the total nutrition
value Of the 1918 crop of cereals as
well as beans and potatoes In France,
is below the total nutrition value of
these products for last year. The
wheat crop fortunately is larger and
Of better quality, but the maize, bar
ley, oats, beans and potato crops are
considerably smaller
''The potato situation is particularly
grave, for whereas the average for the
last ten years Is 100000 long tons,
this year the potato crop will not ex-
ceed 100000 long TONS Despite this
shortage, we must supply the allied
troops fighting in our land. We can
not possibly refuse this indispensable
food to English and American troops
who are constantly increasing in num-
