Approves Celebrations

Fourth of July celebrations this year
should not be abandoned, President Will
son declared in a letter to a congress
man. He said, however, they should be
as simple as possible.
The President said: "In reply to your
letter of February 20. / would say that
| should be sorry to see Fourth of July
celebrations omitted this year of all
years. but at the same time think they
should take simplest and most dignified
form and that it would be of public in
terest as well as in eminently good taste
to make them as inexpensive as possi-
ble."
The letter was written in response to
an inquiry of citizens of Tacoma, Wash
ington, as to whether they should pro-
ceed with plans for Fourth of July
celebration in view of existence of the
war.

Boarder Hens

Ernest Foreman, one of the NJ. A. c..
field men in poultry. sorted hens on a
Paw Paw farm into three lots, which
he labelled A, B and G. In lot A were
placed the best producers, to lot b were
assigned hens which would just about
pay for their keep, while In lot c were
''boarder hens" or birds which if kept
would bring loss to their owner.
Fowls in all three fiocks were given the
same feed and kept under identical con-
ditions. On January %, when the first
report on the results of the culling was
given out, it was found that the % hens
in lot A had laid 206 eggs, or an average
of more than seven eggs per hen. The
birds in lot B laid an average of only
1.69 (ess than two) eggs each during
the two months, while those in lot c
laid none at all.

Torpedos Not Accurate

The German torpedo is very expen-
sive, elaborate affair. 1t requires
great accuracy for its manufacture, and
it is of an intricate design. The allied
observers have found that it has materi-
ally deteriorated, and in efficiency and
accuracy, it is no longer what it was a
year ago. A decreasing number of hits,
hardships to which the crews are fore
ed, and the fact that the fate of scores
of men has never been disclosed to Ger
many, have served to break the morale
of the submarine crews to an extent
that Germany has been known to police
one U-boat with another sent out for
the purpose. Further requirement has
been imposed that to prove the sinking
of ship, the U-boat crew must bring
in prisoner. The 1000 ton submarine
has been found unwieldly. 1t cannot
submerge quickly enough; its men are
easily destroyed by underwater bombs.
1t is, therefore, considered impractical,
The submarine can best be detected
by the seaplane. A submarine can be
seen by a seaplane at depth of 200
feet. The development of the seaplane
is matter of vital Importance for Eng
land and America. even more than ar,
my planes. They carry from four to
six men. The work does not call for
great speed and has an altitude require
ment of only 1000 feet; neither of
which compares with the requirements
of the high power machines in use over
the French battle line.
From the most reliable figures obtain
able. we are apparently now just about
holding our own, in the destruction of
U-boats. The most efficient seaplane
matches in efficiency the German plane
and has proved more dangerous because
of the superior craftsmanship and am
munition of the allied fighters.

Died Very Suddenly

VIM. Elliott, father of the late Pri-
vate Norman ]. Elliott, Of Arbela, has
received additional particulars concern
ing NJ sons illness and death, which
Occurred, as will be recalled, while the
young man was stationed with his regi-
ment at Camp Pike, Ark. Through
one of the higher officers at Camp Pike
Mr.. Elliott was referred to Private
Charles DeLong, of Harbor Beach,
Mich, who was particular comrade of
his son, both at Camp Custer and Camp
Pike. This young man wrote Mr.. Eli
oft letter in which he stated that
Norman was scarcely sick at all prior to
his death. He said that Norman was
taken with a severe pain in his side at
about four o'clock in the afternoon, on
the day preceding his death, and that
he went to the regimental doctor and
was given some medicine and di-
rected to go to his bunk and lie down.
This he did, but the pain seemed to in
crease, and at about ten o'clock that
night he was taken to the hospital,
where he died early the following
morning. The boy had always enjoyed
excellent health and, in company with
other soldiers, had been engaged in
picking up stone about the contonment
on the day preceding his death. So far as
Mr.. Elliott has been able to learn, the
exact cause of his death has not been
determined.
