WOULD SAVE IRISH FARMS
Reconstruction Committee Plans to
Get Land Into the Hands Of
Skilled Cultivators.

Dublin.-Irish farmers have been
startled by a proposal made by the re-
construction committee that the gov
eminent purchase some of the Irish
farms which are not being cultivated
and sell them to competent c~ultivators
or employ skillful and progressive
farmers to cultivate them. Sir Horace
Plunkett, a member of a subcommit-
tee, has reported that some Irish
farms are occupied by incompetent or
incapable men, who will not improve
their methods under instructions or If
punished by penalties. The land de-
teriorates and is wasted for several
years, while the occupant grows poor
er and poorer and generally is crushed
by his creditors.

BIRD PROVES PATRIOTISM
What San Francisco Parrot Really
Said Was "T'eii With the
Kaiser"

San Francisco.-The customs office
was all wrought up over an impudent
parrot which had been brought In ON
a ship from South America and which
seemed to have pro-Teutonic tenden-
cies.
This bird keeps saying Tell the
kaiser.'" reported a clerk to John 8.
Irby, inspector Of customs.
Sounds like German spy talk" OBJ
served Irby. perhaps we'd better
send him over to the internment
camp"
Before taking such drastic action,
Irby decided upon a further investiga-
ton and discovered that the bird had
been grossly misquoted.
The bird was actually saying. or
screaming: Tel with the kaiser!"

spite the Hun Submarine
Warfare.
LOSSES ARE FALLING BEHIND
official Figures Show Convoy System
Is Beating U.Boats-New Tonnage
Exceed Destruction by 1907
600 Tons Monthly.

London.-Upon the fourth anniver-
sary of Great Britaln's entry into the
war the secretary Of the admiralty
made public figures and facts which
throw an encouraging light upon the
naval situation of the allies.
The British navy, apart from the
American forces which now form an
integral part Of Its fighting strength,
consists at the present time Of war
ships and auxiliary craft whose total
displacement reaches 6,50O,OOO tons,
against 2,500,000 in August, 1914. Dur
ing that period about three-quarters of
a million tons have been lost, but at
the present day the growth Of the fleet
shows an increase of 100 per cent.
Similarly with the personnel. The
original 10000 officers and men have
grown to $4,000.
U-Boats Losing Power.
Sir Eric Geddes. first lord Of the ad-
miralty, speaking In the house of COM
mons on March 8. 1913, was able to e
press the opinion that the British and
American naval forces In the North
sea, the north Atlantic and the Eng
fish channel were sinking submarines
as fast as they were built, and on
July 80, says the statement, he made
the welcome announcement that dur
ing the last three months of the first
half of 1918 the world output Of tom
mage exceeded the worlds losses from
all causes by no less than 100000 tons
a month.
AS to the means Of defense against
submarines, figures are now available
which show that the convoy system
has played a large part In overcoming
the submarine to the ocean
communications of the allies. Where
as in the period from April to June of
last year, before the convoy system
was established, British steamers sail
ing to and from the United Kingdom
in the main oversee trades suffered
losses through enemy action of b.41
per cent of their total number. The
figures since then have steadily dimin-
ished, until In the period from March
to June of this year, during which 93.8
per cent of the ships were conveyed,
the losses have dropped to 1.23 per
cent of the total number of sailfags
In these trades.
Million Americans Abroad.
American troops who reached Eu-
rope by July ~ of this year totaled
well over 100000. Nearly half of
these were carried by American ships,
and the United States furnished for
them 40 ocean transports and 1856 es-
corts of destroyers.
The total tonnage of ships Of all ma
tionalities conveyed in all trades since
the introduction of the convoy system
Is 1851 900, of which $4,000, or ap-
proximately 81 per cent, has been lost
while In convoy.
Since August 4, 1914, the British
navy has transported nearly 20,O0O.OO0
men to different destinations, 100000
animals and 110,O 900 tons Of naval
and military stores.
The men lost through enemy action
during the transportation bear the pro-
portion Of 1 to every 5000 carried.

WOMEN CHAINED
SOUTH DAKOTA SOLDIER TELLS
OF WAR CONDITIONS.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 6.-According to
a letter just received by the home
folks from Lieut.. w. l. Longstreth. a
South Dakota young man, who is at
tached to a field hospital with the
American expeditionary forces, Ger
man women have been found chained
to machine guns. He writes in part:
Gould you see and know the
things l have seen and know. l am
sure you would be as bitter as l am.
You no doubt read of the atrocities
of the Germans, and l am not sur
prised that they are often considered
out of the bounds of human reason,
but they occur.
II talk every day with men who
come fresh from the fighting line to
the hospital. Some of them are Ger
man prisoners, and the stories in the
papers don't tell it ALL.
This very morning the Americans
captured German women chained to
machine guns. 1t is not the German
people, 1t is German government that
is the thorn in the side of the ~civiliz-
ed world today, and, as / have said
before, / am glad l can have a part
in eliminating that thorn.

London, Sept. 6.-The strategicai
situation on the western front leaves
to the Americans the duty of striking
a mopping-up blow against the vast
German hordes that are being pressed
back by the other Allies. i'm the opin.
ion of some of the British military ex
perts. Much is expected of the Amer.
lean forces. which are increasing with
surprising rapidity. The British ey
