UNUSUAL DISPLAY
 OF SYMPA ATTY BY .U-BOAT CAPTAIN

London, July 19-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-One in- stance in which an enemy submarine commander, after sinking British vessel amazed@the survivors by giv- ing them bandages and liniment for their wounds, stands out in sharp contrast with the brutality or indif- ference to suffering practiced by the German sea-pirates. Nevertheless the survivors tell a story of extreme hardship endured in small boats for six days and nights. Seventeen are missing of the ships company of ninety-f1ve.
 Five hundred miles from the Irish coast a large British steamer, out ward bound in ballast, received a torpedo deathblow. No time was lost by the ships company in getting away from the sinking ship.
 Many of the crew had been wounded, especially among the en- gine-room force. With difficulty ths injured were placed in the boats.
 The submarine suddenly appeared nearby and the commander came on deck. He noticed the wounded. and calling the boats alongside his craft, he went inside returning with bandages and hniment which he handed to the surprised officers in

 Mir Hoover pointed out that since the urgent request of the allied food controllers early in the year for a further shipment of 75,O0O,OO0 bushels form our 1917 wheat than originally planned we shall have shipped to 000, 900 bushels. At the time of this request, he said, our surplus was al- ready more than exhausted.
 This accomplishment of our people in this matter said MT. Hoover, 1 stands out even more clearly if we bear in mind that we had available i in the fiscal year 1916-1917 from net carry over and as surplus over, our normal consumption about 200,000, 900 bushels of wheat which we were able to export that year without trenching on our Eome loaf.
 This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 wheat crop, we had available from net carry over and production and imports only i just about our normal consumption. | Therefore our wheat shipments to al- | lied destinations represent approM- mately savings from our own wheat | bread"

FINES FOLLOW A FREE FIGHT IN
 COLORADO AVE,

Mrs. Casemero Sanchez, Casemero Sanchez, her husband, Michael Cofro her brother-in-law, and Joseph Cuer- vo, arrested last night after fighting a terrific battle in an apartment at 32 Colorado avenue, were. before the. City Court today. Mrs. Sanchez was fined $25 and Cuervo the same amount, while the charges against her husband and brother-in-law were rolled.
 According to the police the San chez woman has been living under an assumed name at the Colorado avenue address and her husband, who resides in New York, came to this city to investigate the matter accompan- jed by his brotherin-law. The bat tie followed their appearance at the Colorado avenue address and after the debris had been cleaned up t was found necessary to have Cuervo's 5 injuries patched up at the Emergency hospital
 While the row was at Its height, Mrs Sanchez disappeared so that when the police arrived they were only able to arrest the three men. They laid in wait, however, and were rewarded after an hours wait to see Mrs. Sanchez returning home. She was immediately arrested and joined her relatives and lover in the Third Precinct station house.

KEEP ON CONSERVING FOOD

Favorable crop reports continue to come in and it
looks as though 1918 to be the banner year for wheat
production The acreage is larger than ever and the
dtOn above the average at this time of the year. While
is too early to make any figures as to the corn CROP it
is known there increase acreage and the weather
conditions so far highly favorable While the promise
OF abundant foodstus is bright it is the part of wisdom
to continue food conservation methods at least If
the war is to last another year, which seems prob
able, 1t will be necessary to supply our allies and also
many neutras with wheat products and what next years
crop will be no one guess. We can however, save
from this years surplus to help tide over the demand
next year should the crop be short and the time to Save
off trouble over crop shortage next year is in advance
and beginning right When the war is over will be
time enough to begin to arrange for getting back on the
old way of living and this by the way will not be done
The war has changed the American people from meat
eating nation to of wider range of food Vegetables
will hereafter find more prominent place on the Amer
lean MENU and this partly from the fact that we have
learned to do without such great quantities of meat and
partly because the prices of all meats will be high for
years at least and so be above the reach of the
many The potato is occupying the position of honor on
the family tables in this country just now and will retain
it after the Most of can go back to wheat
bread quite easily and there will be no shortage when
once the American built ships get on the run and the
submarines cease from troubling

SOME ELECTION SURPRISES

The recent primaries full of surprises some Of
which they are still unloading Of all these were
greater than that yesterday when from lead of
couple of thousand Frank j. Miller of the Public Service
Commission dropped back until his opponent about
500 ahead and apparently has the nomination 1t will be
another surprise if he does not for with the vote yet to
be counted it seems impossible for Miller to overcome
this lead The result was made possible doubt by the
action Of the commission last year granting the Portland
Railway Light Power company the right to charge the
citizens of Portland six cents for fare that the company
had agreed should not exceed fve The company made
showing that it losing money the five cent fare not
being sufficient to meet current expenses and interest
The patrons of the cars however looked at it that they
being made to pay six cents for what was promised
them for five, and they became angered because of it.
The candidacy of Commissioner Miller gave them the first
opportunity to express opinion as to the commissions
ruling, and Miller got the results.
We think the voters have made mistake in defeating
Mr. Miller since he has seemed always conscientious,
hard-workng official, well equipped for the position he
has held for several years.
