WHEAT GROWERS
SEEK $3.50 PRICE

The National Wheat Growers Assoc
citation, newly organized. with had
quarters in Washington, is to conduct
vigorous campaign to have the price
OF wheat fixed at $3.50.
The wheat raisers of thr country
feel that they cannot maintain their
normal acreage OF wheat unless there
is assurance that they will not lose
money on their crop next year, as
scores Of thousands have lost this
year says a letter sent to the Presi-
dent. This feeling is due not to lack
Of patriotism, but inability financially
to take further risks"
In replying, President Wilson eX
presses the hope that the policy set
forth in his proclamation fixing tho
price at the same figure as before will
seem a wise one
You will observe that ! did not
foreclosc the question:" wrote the
President, but postponed its deter
mination to A time when IL will be
much more possible than II is now to
determine the actual elements Of cost
entering into the production Of tho
next wheat harvest"
A survey of conditions in the wheat
producing States is now being made
by the association.

RED CROSS PLANS
XMAS ROLL CALL

The Red Gross Christmas "roll
CALI in December, in which it is
hoped every American will enlist. will
be held this year in cooperation with
the annual campaign of the National
tuberculosis Association.
It is expected that the combined
campaign will be far more effective
than previous drives of the National
tuberculosis Association. In the past,
the latter organization has carried on
an independent campaign for the sale
of Christmas seals. the proceeds OF
which have been devoted to the pre-
vention of tuberculosis in the United
States.
II is announced that the Red Cross
War Council will finance the National
tuberculosis Association this year.
The tuberculosis association will not
sell Christmas seals this year, but
the Red Cross will give each mem
Der who joins during the roll call a
definite number OF seals.

HOUSE TO RUSH
DRY ZONE PLAN

Efforts will be made in the House
tomorrow to rush to passage the KEEL
logg resolution giving the President
power to establish dry zones about
munitions plants, navy yards, all CEN
tiers OF war activity, and coal mines.
Chairman Webb, OF the House Judi
ciary Committee, has introduced a
resolution for a rule for the consider
ation OF the Kellogg resolution, and
it is expected that II will be brought
in by the Rules Committee Monday
and adopted by the House. Then IL
is proposed to hurry the Kellogg
measure to passage.
Dry advocates want the Kellogg
resolution because they expect the
President to make some zones dry by
immediate proclamation.
They will urge, il the resolution
goes through. that dry zones be eS-
tRblished about the coal mines.
That is, they will endeavor to get the
President to establish such zones.
They will argue that inasmuch as the
brewing of beer will soon be stopped,
It cannot much longer be contended
that to establish dry zones about
mineS would cut the miners off from
beer.

ALLIES OUTMATCH
I FOE SUBMARINES

''Just so long as there is one Ger
man submarine af1oat, so long will
that method OF warfare be a menace
to allied shipping; but the submarine
has been successfully driven from the
coasts, and its effectiveness has been
greatly diminished" declared an
American naval officer. who has just
returned from European waters,
where he has been for more than a
year.
In speaking Of the submarine, the
officer further said:
las paradoxical as II might sound.
the submarine is a surface vessel. 1t
has to come to the surface to charge
its batteries, and it has to bring its
periscope to the surface to sight its
prey. The eyes of the navy are al
ways on the lookout. with the result
that the submarine is now like
hunted beast. They are not allowed
to remain anywhere for very long,
with the result that they are prac-
tically tramps and loaf the high seas
hoping for a chance opportunity.
They have been practically driven
from the British and French coasts.
Occasionally one daring and reckless
commander will venture to bring his
ship in. but in the majority of cases
Re never carries il out. BY this
method of combing the coastal
waters, our once greatestmenace has
been driven to the high seas, where
we are enabled to fight on a far
more even basis.
THE cooperation between the Brit
ish and American navies is absolutely
perfect, as the results clearly indi-
cate. Every single officer and man
in the two great forces is working
for efficiency.
ITO give an idea OF our own forces
and what they are doing is a case of
a sure get One OF our destroyers
sighted = periscope about 400 yards
off. II was only an inch and a half
in diameter, and stuck out OF the wa
ter about ten inches for that number
Of seconds. The lookout on the Amer
ican, destroyer gave the alarm. The
vessel was in such a position that
only half a turn was necessary to be
made to send her direct to the sub
matinee A cargo vessel was in the
vicinity, and the navigating officer
Of the destroyer correctly surmisec
that the sub was headed for her.
He directed his course accordingly.
One depth bomb was dropped at what
proved to be the psychological mo-
mslt, for in a few seconds the Hun
submersible, badly damaged, came to
the surface and surrendered"

Lieutenant oBnnalie while attach
ed to a British air squadron led two
other machines on a long Photographic
RECONNAISSANCE over the German lines
on August IL.
Refused to Leave Route.
Throughout the flight they were at
tackled by a superior number of enemy
planes, but Lieutenant Bonnalie re-
fused to leave the fixed route, and
with the other machines, fought the
boches all the way. The desired
photographs were secured
On the return fight six Fokkers at
tackled. opening FIRE at close range.
Lieutenant Bonnalie saw that one of
the enemy machines was maneuvering
into position on the tail OF his ma
chine. But in spite of the threaten
ing danger he went to the assistance
OF a comrade IN distress.
Several OF the enemy planes envel-
oped Lieutenant BonnaIie, but he CEN
tered his attack on an enemy flyer at
lacking his comrade until the Fokker
was driven or.
By this time Lieutenant Bonnalie's
machine had been riddled with bull
lets and the tail shot away. His ele-
vator control also was badly damaged
and the machine began to tumble and
drop. By side slips he managed to
keep coasting toward the British lines
while his observer fought of the
enemy from the rear gun mounting
with such deadly aim that the enemy
machines scattered.
BonnaIie Lands Safely.
With the gallant assistance of the
observer Bonnalie landed safely near
Forthem.
The machine which Lieutenant Bon
nalie went to the aid of also landed
within the British lines. although the
observer was shot and killed, and the
pilot was wounded
Lieutenant Ransom, during the
fighting at Merckem, worked two days
evacuating the wounded OF his own
and other British battalions and
wounded prisoners.
The citation states that "there was
not a case passed through that he
didn't himself attend. He worked
continuously in the open and under
shell FIRE with great skill and cour-
age. BY his cheerful words and ac-
lions he set a magnificent example to
his battalion. Under his supervision
the battlefield was quickly cleared"

WANTS LOAN RATE
IN D. c. INCREASED

A bill to amend the loan shark
law of the District of Columbia has
been presented in the House by~Con-
gresham Tinkham, of Massachusetts.
1t is similar to a bill already pre-
scented in the Senate by Senator John
Walter Smith. chairman of the Dis
trict Committee, and II provides for
increasing the maximum rate on loans
which may be charged by persons
who make a practice Of loaning
money in small amounts on collateral
to 2 per cent a month.
The present rate is l per cent q
month. The loan sharks" contend
there is no profit in the business at
that rate and that persons seeking
loans from pawnbrokers are driven
to go to Alexandria
Senator Smith introduced the bill
in the Senate some time ago, but did
not do IL on his own motion. He pre-
scented it at the request of parties in
the District who want the rates
raised to 2 per cent a month

FOUR GIRLS DIE
IN POWDER BLAST

FoMPToN LAKES. n. J.. Sept. s.
Four girls are dead as the result of
a flare up" of a smoke-producinG
composition for airplane tracer bull
lett. at the du Pont powder plant here.
They are Cordelia Van Zerbrandt,
Is: Frances Sizenger, Is; Lillian
Tosik. Is, of Astoria, l. l., and Char
lotte Sindle, Il, of Paterson, n. ].
The girls were all workers on the
night shift. Superintendent Babbitt,
of the plant, was unable to determine
the cause of the flare up" but be-
lieves that IL was purely accidental,
probably due to some fault in the
mixture OF the powder.
Two of the victims died shortly
after the accident. The other vic
Tins succumbed yesterday. One OF
the latter. during her last moments
said to the attending physicians:
"If 1 must die, / am glad 1t is to

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE VESLE FRONT. Aug. 20.
| (By Mail)-How American prisoners
"kidded their captors when they were
crossed-examined by German INTEL
ligence officers has come to light
through documents found by Ameri-
cans in their swift advance to the
Vesle. and through admission made
by Prussian and Bavarian officers,
themselves captured after assisting
at the questioning OF Americans prev
iously.
General Won Wichura's headquar-
tiers at Cierges yielded considerable
illuminating evidence OF the sort OF
answers American doubhboys gave
when the Germans attempted to put
them through a third degree. And Il

Ludendorff warned all German intel

serve every statement made by an
American, calling TO mind the tank

they had been fooled.
The tank trap" joke was played
by several marines who were cap

counter attacks in the Bouresche3
region The marines were piled with
questions and talked freely and at
random, while the Prussian officers
scrubbed hastily in their note books.
They regarded the marines as choice
finds owing to their talkativeness.
When it was suggested to the ma
rines that perhaps they had seen
American tanks in support OF the
men, the marines, who had nevei
seen a single tank for the reason
that there were none, solemnly
agreed that they had seen American
tanks-lots of them, and then went
on to describe them.
As resultof this startling infor-
nation, the Germans constructed
tank traps behind their advanced de-
lenses. Wide bitches were dug, over
which it was believed tanks could
not climb. 4 little while after
ward, Americans made a local at
tack and pushed their lines forward
past the tank traps. They captured
a number OF prisoners. including Of
ficers who solemnly asked why the
American tanks had not been used
in the operation.

mans. according to reports by Ger
man officers. dilated on the amount
