Additional Names of
Tuscania Rescued Are
Expected Here Today
BY Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 12.-Additional
names of American soldiers rescued
from the Tuscania, which will cut
down materially the list of $40 still
unaccounted for, was expected to-
day by the War Department.
Officials were still trying to de-
cipher a number of names received
by cable in garbled form yesterday
and expressed confidence that the
names of about two hundred more
survivors would come in.
Eleven names were reported yes
terday but one of them, John M.
Shortell, of De Sofa, Mo-, had ap-
peared on the list of saved previous
ly cabled.
The list of the Tuscania's unac-
counted for was further reduced to-
day by he checking of a number of
men who were sick or injured in
hospitals in Ireland. Reports to the
War Department indicate the sick
and injured are making satisfactory
progress toward recovery
Twelve men were removed from
the unaccounted-for list to-day.
With these definitely recorded as
survivors the list of those not yet re-
ported as survivors numbers 1928.
This number is expected to be ma
terially reduced whoa the War De-
partment obains certification of its
lists from the senior officers in Ire
land.

Presidents Address Given
Wide Prominence by London
Newspapers and Officials
BY ASSocintcd PrcSS


London, Feb. 12.-President Will
prominence that all his utterances
receive in the morning new spapers,
but the text reached the newspapers
too late for more than perfunctory
comment on a few outstanding sem
tences. The Presidents 2ttItude to-
ward the speech of Count Won HeTt-
ling receives the main attention, and
in this the President is regarded as
having gone to the heart of tne
matter.
In the address the Times sees an
important refutation of "the Polshe-
vik allusion that Prussian militarism
can be exercised by rhetoric and
commends the serene confidence with
which President Wilson atheres to
the belief that the war will IT end
without establishing the reign OF
right and justice.
The Daily News believes it was not
an accident that the Presidents re-
ply to Won Hertling and Count Ger
min was delivered on the eve of a
new session of the British Parlia-
ment and thinks that it's significance
will not be lost on the House OF
Commons, in view of conditions
which arise generally from the
gravity of national affairs and spe-
officially from the vague and dis
quieting situation created by the last
Versailles conference with its men
acing suggestion of another reaction
in the direction of knockout
blow"

FUEL ADMINISTRATOR GARFIELD
ADVISES HOUSEHOLDERS TO BUY
NEXT WINTER COAL THIS
SPRING AND SUMMER
&C. B. W.


Fuel Administrator Garfield, on February 25,
advised all householders to buy their normal
supply Of coal for next winter in the regular
way, as soon as the coal supply will admit.
He considers that the present winters ex-
perience ought to serve as warning, and that
during the spring and summer, when consump-
ton reaches its lowest ebb, and when trans
portation facilities are at their BEST reserve
should be accumulated.
1t has been suggested that coal production
be kept at maximum during the year, and not
permitted to lag, as it did last summer; also
that if the demand directly from the consumers
is not sufficient to keep mines operating full
blast, dealers should either be forced to lay in
heavy reserves, or that each city should provide
municipal coal piles, into which the surplus
production of the mines may be dumped.

FIRST UNITED STATES AERIAL MAIL
LINE TO BE INAUGURATED APRIL 16

Daily airplane mail service between New
York and Washington will be inaugurated
April 16, it was announced from Washington on
February 81. Eight airplanes will be furnished
by the War Department By arrangement be-
tween Secretary Baker and Postmaster General
Burleson, the aerial mail service will be con-
Quoted for one year.
On each trip, 800 pounds Of frst-class mail
will be carried. One trip each way will be
made daily, except Sunday, on fixed schedule.
The flying time between New York and Wash
ington is estimated at less than three hours in
Guiding stopover to deliver mail at Philadel-
phia.
To reduce the number of collisions by student
aviators the war department plans to lay out
flying fields in various directions from camps,
to which the student aviators would fly each
day in previously arranged schedule. It is
believed this will eliminate the crowding in the
air which has resulted in many Etight places"
in which young aviators have not been able to
maneuver safely

SEED CORN
By W. E. Watkins, County Agricultural Adviser

By w. E. Watkins, County Agricultural Adviser
Lake County will need in the neighborhood of
$500 bushels of seed corn to plant normal
crop in 1918. Late reports from over 300 far
mers in the county indicate that we have less
than l /3 of the needed supply of seed. Some
of the farmers that have reported are not alb
solutely sure at the present time that their seed
will grow Tests made by the Farm Improve
ment Association and those made by individ-
ual farmers show that our local seed cannot be
relied upon unless CAREFUL termination tests
are made. The tests made so far have varied
from $3.50 to 1919 termination. Ordinarily we
would not think of planting corn whose ger1nin-
alton is less than 909o Indications are that
some corn will have to be used for seed which
tests less than 500.
Every farmer in Lake County who has sup
ply of corn of any kind is urged to make ger
mination tests Immediately to find out if such
corn can be used for seed purposes. Some far
mers have supply of old feeding corn on hand.
With feeding corn at $50 bushel and with
seed corn at $500 to $1,000 per bushel it will
pay any farmer to quit feeding his ear corn

ure specifies that federal control shall continue
for period not exceeding eighteen months af-

the President authority to fix rates subject, how

railroad owners upon just and reasonable corr

The railroad bill has met with some delay in
