June 26 to the different governors OF the
New England states relative to an effort
to bring the New England regiments back
to some point in New England to be re-

agreed to cooperate in the plan. These are
the pioneer regiments now stationed at
Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, 5. e.,
and were the National Guard regiments
before they went into federal service. They
are, one from Vermont. two from Massa-
chusetts and one each from Maine and
Connecticut, the New Hampshire regiment
having recently gone to France as a head
quarters organization. 1t is Governor Ora

it can by sending the recruits. which viii

One of them was directly ahead and with
in 300 yards of the bow of the transport.
There came jangling of bells to the en-
CINE room and the British vessel, with in
creasing speed, bore directly down on the
enemy. The bow struck the undersea
craft at the middle, and as the liner kept
on the gun crew at the stern gun opened
fire on a submarine that was off the star
board side The passengers who told the
story said that it was understood ct an
English port that this submarine had also
been sunk, the third shot scoring 'di-
rect hit. Some of the passengers said
some prisoners had been picked up. While
the attack was going on the American
troops, who had filed every available
space on deck, watched the encounter with
interest and cheered as the gtinners scored
a hit. The third submarine was accounted
for by the crew of the destroyer. The
transport is now said to be in. drydoek

tary of the National Retail Dry Goods
association, from its headquarters, SO
West Forty street, strong pro-
test is made against the action of the
National Council of Defense, which has
asked that a campaign Of publicity be
started against the giving of merchan-t
disc for Christmas gifts, and recon-
mending that gift giving the coming
holiday season be confined to the send
ing of cards and letters.

from merchants in large and small cit

ment ran, "with reference to the Christ
mas shopping notice sent out by the
Council of National Defense asking
that campaign of publicity be inaug-
urated against the giving of merchan-
disc for Christmas gifts and recon-
mending that gift giving be confined
to the sending of cards and letters.
"The belief is expressed that this
matter is already sufficiently controlled
by the war industries board, for the
reason that many merchants have been
| notified by manufacturers, from whom
they have ordered toys, jewelry, and ar
| ticles in which metal is to be used, that
deliveries cannot be made because of in
ability to secure coal and basic mate
rails. The merchants believe, because
of this fact, that the manufacture of
| nonessentials is being properly regu-
| lated by the government at the source
of production, and there is no need for
any special publicity, campaign upon
this question.
| "There is also strong feeling that
such publicity action by the Council of
National Defense would, tend to elm,
mate the giving of merchandise of a
useful character as Christmas gifts II
is a well-known fact that during the
past few years the tendency in gift
| giving has gravitated toward the giving
of useful and needed articles Conse
quently, there is practically no waste
nor any serious duplication. Gift giving
has gotten down TO the basis pretty
largely of giving only such things al
are needed by the recipients. -
Mr.. Howe said that in letters he wa:
receiving from business men from al
over the country there was feeling
that the Council of National Defens,
did not appreciate the real situation

Many merchants, he said, believed that
while the intentions of the Council of
National Defense were undoubtedly
good, the entire matter was being well
handled by the War Industries Board,
while campaign against holiday buy
ing would only tend to stir up business
without accomplishing any beneficial
result
The merchants of the country the
statement concluded, fare willing and
glad to do everything in their power to
assist in the prosecution of the war,
but they are unable to see wherein

break the backbone of business, could

FROGS CROAKING
DROWNED THE GUNS
Crown Prince Makes Statement in Let
ter to Kaiser Describing Chemin
de Danes Battle.

AMSTERDAM, July 6-Karl Rosner,
a newspaper correspondent who is fire.
quently termed the German emperor's
press agent, describes in the Lokal An
zeiger conversation which he says took
place between Emperor William and the
German crown prince in which the son
told his father a story of the frogs at
the battle of the Chemin des Danes
The story was told, says Rosner, as the
father and son stood on hill in the battle
sector of the army group of Gen. Won Fran
co.'s June 3. The crown prince said:
1T was when the Germans were prepar-
ing to storm the Chemin DIES Danes. The
frogs, which were found in millions in the
marshy Ailette river region, croaked in
such deafening fashion that they en-
abled the Germans to bring up batteries
ammunition and columns without discov-
cry and when the attack actually was
launched the deafening concert of the frogs
prevented the enemy from discovering
the positions of the German machine
guns.
| In the course of the same conversation
Rosner says the Emperor described the
occasion at the beginning of last year
when he was asked to give permission fol-
the blowing up of the famous Preach cas-
tie at Coucy-le-Chateau, near st. Quentin
He said he hesitated until his military
advisers pointed out that in the hands Of
the enemy the towers of the castle might
menace the lives of hundreds of German
soldiers. The Emperor then remarked:
! would the French act differently in
our country? The protection of soldiers
is the supreme law for the commander
and no edifice ought to be spared wher
it is question of preserving from danger
and death the men who are fighting fol
the fatherland'
