Rupprecht Hurries Reserves South.

London. July 25.--Nine divisions of
reserves from the army of Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and a
division from the eastern end of the

German resistance on the southern

ALLIED SHIP OFF OUR COAST

Washington, July 25--An American
submarine of the latest design has
been fired upon by an Allied armed
ship off the New England coast The
submarine was only slightly damaged
and q naval tug is towing it to port.
No one aboard the submarine was in
jured.
Reports TO the navy department
said the submarine, which was cruls-
ing submerged, suddenly appeared
near the Allied ship and the latter
opened fire
The scene of the attack was not far
distant from the waters in which q
German submarine recently appeared
and when the American submerSlblc
came to the surface the captain of the
Allied ship assumed that it was an
enemy vessel, preparing to attack
him.
Onl, one shot hit the submarine
which quickly made known its iden-
tity when the Allied ship began to
fire The shell struck on the deck
near the coming tower, denting sen
eral plates 1T was announced that
the vessel could be repaired in q
short time.
The navy department did not make
known the identity Of either the sub
marine or the Allied ship, nor was it
announced whether the latter was a
cruiser or Il transport.

this formal statement.

July IS, (By The Associated Press -
Greater effort than ever before has
been eNacted this year by German
army chiefs from the troops under
their command Compared even with
last year, when the lighting was very
severe, all their divisions have been
called upon to make at least a double
effort, The correspondent is able to
demonstrate the terrific nature of the
task thrown upon the German SOL
dicrs by the desire of the German
emperor to crush the French andI
British armies before American
troops arrived in sufficient numbers
to turn the balance.
During last year the Germans pos-r
sessed on their western front between
100 and no divisions. The most of
these were engaged twice, and some
three times, during the entire twelve ai
months, having in the meantime beenI
reconstructed.

cution of the operations that these res
suits are due.
This certainly marks a decisive
turn in the war, justifying the pro-
found satisfaction and the great
hopes felt by the army committee )"

HAGANDOESN NOT
FAVOR GRADES
Agricultural Commissioner
Objects to New Federal
Standards.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 21.-John N.
Hagan, commissioner of agriculture
and labor, is in Minneapolis attend
ing a conference on the adoption OF
proposed official grain standards OF
the United States for oats. Prior to
his departure he expressed disap-
prevail Of the grades as suggested in
q recent bulletin OF the bureau OF
markets.
..These proposed regulations are
similar to the wheat grades as first
established. / have not had oppor-
tunity to give the matter careful
study, but I am convinced from a
casual reading Of this bulletin that
the suggested grades would be unfair
to North Dakota. The ties: weight

this state is concerned, for North pa
kota raises an exceptionally high
Of cereal grain admixture allowed,
however, seems to be altogether un-
just. An admixture Of wheat. rye,
barley or speltz does not detract from
the value Of Its for feeding pur-
poses, and in North Dakota. where
these grains are planted in rotation,
it is almost impossible to prevent mix
ture. Under the proposed grades
only one per cent of cereal grains is
AllOWSu AL SAdAO - OuS y" 80
in grade 9; three per cent in grade
5; five per cent in grade 4 ana ten
per cent in grade 5.
IT cannot understand why three
per cent of wheat or rye should de-
preciate the oats to a No. 3 grade
Using oats as we do in d rotation
crop, it is impossible TO prevent a
relatively high mixture. With a close
grading Of oats, and with the prob
ability that similar grades will be
adopted for rye and barley, the only
solutieh of the difficulty in this state
would be summer following or the
raising of these cereals on c%ultlvat-
ed soil from which corn, potatoes or
some similar crop has been taken.
1.-The bureau of markets already
has established federal grades for
wheat n corn. The schedule of
grades announced for oats is only ten
tative, but I am convinced that very
radical changes must be made IT a
hardship is not to be worked on the
North Dakota farmer.
"As it is now, the grades on wheat
are such that we do not like to plant
wheat on rye ground. If the grades
on oats are frightened, there will be
the same bar on this crop, and If
the bureau of markets follows with
tighter grades on rye and barley, our
~favorite cereal rotation will be brok,
en- up altogether, and the expense OF
farming will be increased.
Five grades for oats are too many
in any event. Three would be ample
Five merely increases the difficulties
of the buyer as we'll as of the pro-
ducer."
