NATIONAL REPAIR WEEK
Implement Manufacturers Looking
for a Record Demand.


The implement manufacturers an
ticipate record demand for farm
implement repair parts next year,
due not only to the extra equipment
which will be needed to handle rec
ord crops but also to the fact that
farmers will be led by high cost and
scarcity of implements to repair dis
carded machinery. To meet this emer-
gency, H. M. Craig recently suggest
ed at the Ohio Implement Dealers
convention that the industry set aside
a national repair week, during which
dealers would concentrate on their
service of spare parts to farmers, and
farmers would have the question of
repairs brought home to them in a
vivid way. No date has yet been set
for this special week, according to
the Farm Implement News, but some
time in January is suggested, with
publicity in farm journals and the
general press.-Government Bulletin.

to make it perform to the best of its
ability. and that is saying something.
While Mr.. Fielder makes no claim of

hard to convince Liberal people that
such is not the case. as the music at
The Photoplay continues to be big

that the government has ordered a
stop to the work Of taking up the

y road will be operated, at least during

The last issue of the Garden City
Herald has the following concerning
the road:
"The government, it is reported,
has put stop to the taking up of the
c., X. & o. railroad from Scott City
to Winona that was recently sold for
junk. If this is so, it means that the
government will operate the road,

in the interests of the people of
Western Kansas.
"Should this road be held until af-
ter the close of the war, there will be
a good prospect of completing the
gap from Garden City to Forgan, and
thus insure the north and south line,
the building of which was stopped on
account of the war and the high price
of material and the difficulty of max
ing traffic arrangements with the M,

New Positions in

(By The Associated Press)


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, June 16.-About 600
German shock troops raided the
American first line positions at the
village of Xivray, in the Toul Sec
ter, early this morning.
Some of the enemy got into
Xivray but were soon driven out:
At other points the Germans were
badly beaten.
The attack began at 3 o'clock in
the morning after an extremely vio-
lent bombardment of the front line
and American batteries and villages
far in the rear. The Germans ad-
vanced swiftly to the attack, but
were met by heavy fire. Those
who penetrated Xivray were forced
speedily to withdraw, and elsewhere
the enemy was completely repulsed
IT. hard fighting lasting more than
two hours.
According to prisoners, the object
of the enemy was to take American
prisoners. This object failed, as no
American is reported missing.
The Germans, evidently angered
by the failure of the attack, con-
tinued an intermittent shelling of
the villages in the rear throughout
Sunday. Some of these points were
not less than eight miles behind the
line.
The American troops engaged at
close quarters the small German
force that entered Xivray. There
was severe fighting with bayonets
and clubbed rifles. The Germans left
nine dead in the streets, and six
prisoners were taken, two of them
officers, one of whom was wounded.
The prisoners came from the 36th
Landwehr. They said that some
troops of the 22d Regiment, sth
Bavarian Reserve, also participated
in the attack.
In the artillery bombardment
preceding the German raid many
villages in which French civilians
are still living several kilometres
behind the line were heavily
shelled. There were many civilian
casualties.
AS the shock troops advanced
German airplanes lowered over viii
lagos far behind the lines dropping
huge smoke bombs, thus directing
the range of the German guns,
which Immediately began shelling
the villages.

Bark Samoa and the
Kringsjaa Are Destroyed
About 80 Miles Out
One Crew Rescued
By U. S. Warship
Attacks Indicate Raiders
Seek Only Easy Victims
in Unarmed Vessels

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Two more
vessels have fallen victim to the sub
marines preying off the coast, both the
property of Norway. The Navy De-
partment announced tonight that tSe
Norwegian bark Samoa and the Nor
wegian ship Kringsjaa had been sunk,
apparently close to each other, about
ninety miles off the Virginia coast.
Fifteen of the crew of the Samoa,
which was sunk Friday morning, have
been picked up and are being brought
to port. The crew Of the Kringsjaa is
said to have been rescued by an Ameri-
can warship. The date of her sinking
is not announced.
Since the kringsjaa was sent down in
the same general locality as the Samoa,
1T was believed tonight that the same
submarine had accounted for the two
ships. 1t also was regarded as certain
that the same submarine unsuccess-
fully attacked the British steamer
Keenum off the Virginia Capes last
Thursday morning.
Ihe Kringsjaa brings the total of ves-
sells sunk by the German U-boats off
the American coast to twenty, six of
which were Norwegian, four steamers
and two sailing craft.
The attack on the ships indicate
that Germany's sea wolves still are
seeking easy victims, picking out sail
ing vessels or unarmed steamers, while
avoiding conveyed flotillas bound over
seas. The fact that the U-boats are
operating exclusively in the waters
we'll off shore, between the Delaware
and Virginia Capes, while the ap-
proaches to New York are neglected.
despite the known fact that the great
est war traffic goes out that port, adds
to the impression that the raiders are
purposely avoiding dangerous oppon-
ents.
Tactics adopted by the submarine
commanders lead officials to believe
that Germany is counting on a hoped
for effort or American morale and not

O'Leary just as he was about to be
lead away by government Secret Ser
vice men after being caught on his
recently purchased three-acre chicken
ranch, one and one-fourth miles from
Sara, Wash, Wednesday by three Off
cials and posse of six civilians of
Clarke County.
The case reads like romance The
capture was one Of the most clever
probably ever effected in this section
OF the country, and neither OLeary or
Samuel F. Stien, seventy years old,
who had been employed on the place
since May 18, can tell how it all hap
pened, it was carried out so completely
and quickly.
Slept With eye Open''
Mr.. Stien, who has been placed in
charge of the chicken ranch tempo
rarily by government officials, refuses
to comment in any particular on the
case, following his instructions from
the Secret Service men.
According to information cleaned
from neighbors living near the ranch,
which was purchased from T. l.. Sagar,
of Portland. by Thomas j.. Corbett,
alleged brotherin-law Of OLeary, it is
understood O'Leary knew he was being
followed by Secret Service men and
"slept with one eye open.'
During the day O'Leary would pace
the full length of the little roadway
leading from the house to the ranch
highway, nervous and excitable, con-
