GERMAN YOUTHS OF 1919 CLASS ARE
 SERVING COLORS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, July 10. = German youths of the 1919 class who were serving in thirty divisions of the German Army are among the pris- oners who were captured last month Information shows that men of this class are at the front in still other divisions.
 It is known that these young men are being placed in the regiments in proportion of ten to each company and that they are called upon in larger proportion as endorsements to replace the men lost in battle They were sent to the front general ly after only five months of training owing to the haste of the German preparations for the great offensives on the Western front.

Business conditions along the Pa cific Coast are reviewed in a Fed eral Reserve Bulletin of the Twelfth District of July 1st, showing a healthy tone. The crop report shows an increase over the preceding year, despite an extremely cold Spring. Short crops of small fruits are ex- pected The following estimates of grains have been made:

 California cotton yield shows val ue of $93S0,000 for 1917, compared with valuation of $4,362,000 for the preceding year and of $1,599,000 for the year 1915.
 The first voyage of the concrete steamer Faith" was entirely sue cessful. The Emergency Fleet Cor poration, as a result of the satisfac- tory record made, has placed orders for number of concrete steamers of 7,500 tons dead weight, 1000 tons greater capacity than the Faith" and eight of these vessels will be constructed at plant to be installed by the corporation in Oakland, Cal.
 The threatened shortage of hydro electric power in Northern and Gen. tral California, due to the small amount of rainfall and snow in the mountains last Winter, has become acute. The electric power com panies have, with the approva! of the State Railroad Commission, all agreed to the pooling of all power resources, and the Commission, through it's Assistant Engineer, will exercise control over the distribu tion of power between companies and from companies to consumers.
 May bank clearings for twenty prin- cipal cities of the District increased 20.0S per cent. over the same month in 1917.

RUmANIA IS DESOLATED
 FROM THE WAR
Not Likely That Germany Can Profit Largely from the County at the
 Present Time.

LONDON, July 9.-Rumania i' a desolate and barren country today an awful object lesson of >the cost of war Two years ago it wa' one of the garden countries of the world, teeming with agricultural wealth and prosperity. More thar 750,000 Russian soldiers lived in ii and on it for nearly year, and they left very little behind them.
 Anyone who has known Rumanif as she was when peace was forced upon her by the Central Powers must be convinced that it will bt years before Germany can draw from her fields and orchards any very valuable tribute.
 Nor is the German control of Ru mania's petroleum production likel. to be a very profitable investment for some time. In the so-called "oc- cupied territories" the destruction Germany after fifteen months of eff fort, is able to measure her sup plies from this source in quarts.
 In the rest of Rumania, it is doubtful if production can be much increased beyond that of the past year, and during the past year pe- troleum has been one of the scare est articles in the country, obtain able only under personal and spe- cial license from the government.
 During the middle of the winter, The Associated Press correspondent made a tour of inspection perhaps a score of the frontier towns where the largest proportion of refugee population had been dumped in the hurried rereat before the German hosts. Conditions were serious be- yond description, but the major part of the suffering was due to famine rather than exposure.
 The shortage of food was such that in many instances refugees were in the fields eating-or at tempting to eat-grass.
 Terrible as was the plight of the people of these refugee districts in war time, they can hope for lit tie alleviation with the coming of a forced peace. Practically no har- vests can be expected this year in these districts, for no seed will be available, and moreover there are no agricultural implements left. nor any horses or draft animals of any kind. Thousands of Rumanian horses died of starvation during the winter, for the peasants were too exhausted in caring for their own needs to make any attempt to pro- vide for their beasts.
 In France the horses would have been put to good use as meat for human food but the Rumanian peasant has an abhorrence of horse flesh as meat.

AMERICANS ARE
INTERESTED in
BRAIN DRILL"
British Soldiers are Put Thru
Rigid tests to Teach them
to Think Quickly.

London. May misconceptions
of The Associated Press. )-American
soldiers. who prize mental as we'll as
physical efficiency, are showing much
interest in q brain drill" recently in
troduced into the British army. Its
purpose is to teach the British SOL
der to think. quickly and to concen-
trate his mind on what he is doing.
An officer lines up a company and.
puts the men through some simple
calisthenics.
Now" he explains. when I say
DO this you'll do It; but If I say DO
that you won't do it." He carefully
illustrates the motions to be done and
then the motions not to be done.
Ready! Do this. do this. do this"
The men obey. Suddenly his arms
shoot down by his side, do that" he
commands. Unthinkingly. half the
men fall into the trap he has set.
Amid the laughter Of the rest, they
are ordered to fall out and stand aside.
When all except two Dr. three have
been eliminated, the game is changed.
The men are formed into two lines.
facing each other and about six yards
apart. A cap is tossed on the ground
midway between the lines, and then
men in couples. n from each line,
walk slowly up to it and try to snatch
it before the other can touch him. II,
while the cap is held by the snatcher,
the other manages to put his finger
on him before he can Jump away, the
cap must be dropped and the contest
renewed. At last one WhiskS the cap
away and is off.
Grows and Cranes is another fea-
ture Of the drill. Again the men are
lined up about ten yards apart, the
officer standing between.
Those on my left" the officer says.
are cranes and those on my right are
crows. II I shout crows the cranes
will dash of and the crows will chase
them. But If l shout cranes, the crows
will dash off and the cranes will chase
them. Now, are you ready?"
Then for nearly a minute he stands.

This is all to teach you to act on

tells the men. ut may be a case Of

man moves first. You may be the
quick or you may be the dead.

TAKE
10000 ROUNDS
OF AMMUNITION
Developments Expected to
Result Within Near Flu
ture Over Seizure.

London. June 25.-The seizure Of
10000 rounds of ammunition in the
Smfthfield Market in Dublin yester-
day is expected to have developments,
according to the Dublin correspond
ent of the Daily Mail, who says the
seizure was an incident in an attempt
to smuggle arms and ammunition into
Ireland on a large scale.
The first discovery of the affair
seems. to have been made by the police
at Belfast where q ship whose name
is not divulged, arrived the latter
part of last week, bringing a miscel-
laneous cargo, among which contra
band was cleverly distributed. The
c~ontraband goods were consigned to
various parts of the country. An in
vestigation is proceeding t discover
how much Of it reached its destina-
ton.
1t is understood that with the seiz-
ure, at Dublin, six cartridges were
found at Belfast and other parcels in
7Dunngannon and another town. The
Dublin consignment was hidden in
sacks of oats. The cosignee is said
to be a brother Of one of the interned
Sim Feiners.
