EXPLAINS SUBMARINE FAILURE
American Transports too Well Guarded
says German Admiralty Chief

Amsterdam.-The chief Of the Ger
man admiralty staff, Admiral Won
HoItzendroff. has explained to the
Cologne Gazette, to the best of his
ability, the reason why German u
boats are not sinking American trans
ports.
He says that, owing to the many
points of debarkation that are at the
disposal of the Americans from the
north of Scotland to the Mediter-
ranean, the irregularity of the coming

sEEoyer guards which accompany them,

chance of getting shot at them. The
real object of the U-boats, adds the
admiral. is to reduce enemy cargo

of the allies to continue the war.

The waste of grain through
the inefficient operation of
thrashing machines, though not
serious matter to the individ-
ual farmer, is a matter of per-
haps millions OF bushels to the
nation as a whole and to the ma
tons that just now are looking
to US for food to ward off fam
Inc. When we consider that
there are 5000, 600 farms in the
United States. it is evident that
waste of only a busheI set
would be an enormous loss in
the aggregate.

If the thrashing machines of the
country wasted only three or four
bushels of grain out of every thousand
they thrash, the loss of wheat alone in
the United States every year would
equal quantity sufficient to furnish
people for nearly half a year. The pres
ent importance OF keeping thrashing
machines at their highest point of eff
cheney thus is easily seen.
1t Is probably not possible to save
all the grain, even with the most eff
cient operation under the best field
conditions. However, the careless OPP
orator who does not know Just what
the different parts of his machine are
for, or who does not watch them close
ly while the separator is running, may
waste a great amount OF grain unnec-
essarily. He will surely have to make
frequent stops for repairs and adjust
ments. Every time a machine stops,
the whole crew, usually several men
and teams, mugt be idle until 1T starts
again, a loss Of time to everybody con-
cerned.
Failure to Separate.
If q machine fails to separate all
the grain from the straw, it Is usually
due to one or more of the following
causes: ~ The machine La not being
run at It's PROPER speed CD 1t is being
crowded beyond it's capacity, CD the
cylinder fails to thrash all the kernels
out Of the heads (4) the separating
mechanism is not level, or (6) the
blast is not adjusted properly.
Cracked grain is another source of
waste which may become serious
Cracked grain may be due to excessive
speed Of the CYLINDER to the cylinder
being too close to the concave teeth,
or to grain being returned in the tail
tngs elevator and run through the CYL
lnder repeatedly. Loss both from poor
separation and cracked grain can be
prevented in a large measure by proper
adjustment OF the machine and atten-
ton to 1t while in operation.
Reduce Loss Of Time.
The loss of time due to stops on ac-
count of breakage and wearing parts
getting out of adjustment, so frequent
with thrashing machines can be great
~ reduced and the life of the separa-
tor heightened appreciably If the ma
chine is overhauIed preparatory to
starting the seasons work and all the
parts put in good repair and adjust
ment, and afterward watched intelli-
gently while in operation If the grain

More than three hundred spectators

THE CALL

off to the wars! We are rousing and
rising;
Blood calls to BLOOD, and we answer
the cry!
Babes Killed in crimes of the despots'
devising,
Weak crushed to earth, you ShalI
lead us on high!
Men of the faith who have struggled
and suffered
The flames, and the fumes, and the
woes of wars might,
All that you sacrificed, all that you
offered
Is steeling the sinews Of millions,
whose might
Shall be flung in the breach at the foes
who assail you.
Off to the wars Hear our thunder
ing tread!
Brothers-in- arms, as we join you we
hail you
Hail to you living! Hail heroic dead!
Off to the wars! From the mists OF
the ages
The legions of time with thor ghost
banners furled
Look down in amaze at new red-writ-
ten pages
Traced in fresh blood shed for sins
of the world;
For the record CLOVIS out with glori-
fled lustre
Paling the praises to conquerors
'graved
AS in fortitude's pentecost nlyriads
muster
That justice, and truth, and that
right may be saved
Off to the wars! In the din there is
ringing
A clarion call to the Nations best
part.
OFF to the wars! There is burning and
singing
A flame in her soul and song in
her heart.

CLASH
WITH JUGO-S[AVS
IN RECLAIMED LANDS
Friction and Jealousy Aroused
in Carrying Out the Armi-
stice With Austria.

LONDON. Nov. 2s.-The carrying
out OF the provisions of the Italian
Austrian armistice on the Eastern
and Northeastern Adriatic has
aroused much friction and Jealousy
on the part OF the Jugo-Slav popula-
tions. who ascribe To Italy the inten-
tion OF permanently occupying these
regions. which are virtually Identical
with those assigned to Italy by, the
Allied agreement of 1915. The Jugo-
slavs contend that the occupation
should have been by mixed Allied
forces aud not solely by Italians. .
The italian occupation of Fiume has
been followed by strong protest to
the Entente Powers from the Crna-
tiar National Council at Agram. 1t is
reported that at some points the oc-
cupation led TO regrettable Incidents
between the Italians and Jugo- Saws,
and to these points mixed forces have
since been sent.
Tho Associated Press learns that
the Allied Governments arc doing
everything possible to promote a
friendly settlement between The rival
parties pending the final adjustment
of the conflicting claims at the Peace
Conference.
