Monsters UnpunAh1d.

London, Sept. 6.--Although the Brit
ish government does not intend to adopt

rincs put our of action.

neutral countries where they took refuge

Kapitan Lieutenant Schweiger, who.
while in command of the U-20, torpe-
doed the Lusitania in May, 1915. The
u 20 WIS ost on the Danish coast in

when nc made it in 2.09L.
AT the horse show which, too, at
tracted the largest attendance in years,
there being long string of autos and
limousnes lined up along the grounds
from which society folks watched the
riders, there was every element that
made for a remarkable exhibition of all
types of horses, ranging from ponies To
saddle and harness horses. :.
Miss Cornbrooks and Miss T.. Il
Hayes are the two nurses IN charge
today of the First Aid tent at the fair,
They have four aids assisting them, The

There is almost always a big surplus
Of runner beans, and these should be

Finally cover in with salt
A few may be packed away each day
in this manner. and you will find that
the more you pick from the plants the

For use it Is only needful to soak the

FACTS AND FIGURES BY BRITISH.
Publication of Names of Commanders
of Submarins Destroyed by Navy.

London, Friday, Sept. 6.-The pub
lication by the British admiralty of
the names of the commanding officers
of $50 German, submarines disposed
of by the British navy in order to
substantiate the statement Of Premier
David Lloyd George to the effect that
"at least $50 of these ocean pests
have been destroyed" was welcomed
by the British press today. The news
papers pointed out that of these $50
German officers, only one made his
escape. This was Waldemar Bender,
who escaped when his submarine was
sunk and is believed to have made
his way back to Germany. Of the
remaining 149 officers 116 are dead,
27 are prisoners of war and six are
interned in neutral countries.

BLAME WOLFF BUREAU.
German People Deceived by Stories OF
Successes.

London, Sept. 6.-The German OIL
cial news agency, the Wolff Bureau,
is blamed by the Cologne Gazette for
the manner in which the German
people have taken the defeat OF the
Teutonic forces to heart.
The Gazette complains that the
Wolff bureaus official reports, in
stead of allowing the facts to speak
for themselves, arouse the impress
sion with their description of great
German successes that Germanys en-
emies never would be able to recover
from the terrific blows being dealt
them, that they were exhausted and
that it needed only one supreme ex-
exertion to accomplish their utter de-
feat.
The paper recalls as a further evil
how the harvest was overest1mated
in the first years of the war, how the
German hopes were dashed on prom
ised supplies from Russia and the
Ukraine and on the u-boat war and
how inventions of all sorts were trum-
peted forth.

AS TO SUNDAY MOTORING.
Individual Must Decide Question for
Himself.

Fuel Administrator Gossett receiv-
ed the following telegram from Wash
ington Saturday:
'"The request that pleasure motor
ing be discontinued on Sundays for
the present is not intended to cover
reasonable use for necessary trans
portation. The question must be de-
termined not by the fuel administra-
ton, but by the Individual, who
should bear in mind the effect of his
example. We suggest the following
answer to all asking exemption:
Administrator Gossett expresses
his qualification because of the gen.
eral observance on the part of the
people of this State of the request to
conserve gasoline last Sunday, and
hopes that even a better observance
will result next Sunday and on the
following Sundays.

CASUALTIES SENT BY COURIER.
Only Dead and Missing Will Be Ca
bled.-New Regulations Formed.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Under a
new policy of reporting casualties
in the American expeditionary forces
adopted by the war department, the
names of the men wounded will be
sent to the United States by courier
twice a week, and only the names
of the dead and missing will be ca
bled by Gen. Pershing, when the sys-
tenn is in full effect.
In making this announcement,
Gen. March, chief of staff, said Gen.
Pershing had not heretofore sent in
the names of men slightly wounded
because generally the men had re-
turned to duty before the names
reached the United States. In reply
to an inquiry from the department,
Gen. Pershing had reported, Gen.
March said, that there were 10000
such casualties up to August 20.
Under the new plan the names of
all the wounded will be sent to the
United States by courier, together
with their hospital records, so that a
statement of the diagnosis can, be
furnished to relatives of the men.

ESCAPES FROM GERMANS.
Young American Aviator Tells His
Experience in Prison Camp.

Paris, Sept. S.-Lieut. Thomas
Hitchcock, Jr., of Westbury, N. Y,
the youthful member Of the La Fay
cite Flying Corps who was captured
by the Germans some time ago, but
escaped and reached Switzerland, Au-
gust %, today described his expert
ence while captive, and his fight
to neutral territory, which was ac-
complished through evading his
guards on a train.
The guard was taking nap at
the time.
Hitchcock was forced to walk more
than hundred miles. This he did in
eight consecutive nights, hiding dur
ing the daytime. He lived on the food
he had saved from his meager rations
in the prison camp. He was entirely
ignorant of the country through
which he passed, but guided himself
by small pocket compass. On the
eighth day of his tramp he found him
self in a certain village. He inquired
of a small girl whether he was in
Switzerland and, upon being told that
he was, made his way direct to Berne,
where he arrived August 80 and call
ed at the American legation.
Hitchcock was captured March 6,
when he was forced to land after an
aerial combat with three German ma
chimes. He was wounded in the thigh
and his machine became diabled at
an altitude of 1000 metres, but he
managed to land safely inside the
German lines. He was Immediately
seized by several Germans and taken
to dressing station. From there he
was sent to a hospital at St. Arnold.
Later he was transferred to Saar-
brucken.
It took two months for the wound
in Hitchcock's leg to heal. He said
he was not maltreated by the Ger
mans, but that there was plenty Of
suffering among the prisoners, who
were barely existing. He said he had
been saved by the arrival of packages
containing food from France.
Hitchcock will leave for the United
States in about three weeks. He in
tends to transfer from the French to
the American flying corps.

NO BEER AFTER DECEMBER
Decision Reached After Conference
With President Wilson.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Manufacture
of beer in the United States will be
be prohibited after next December 1
as a war measure.
The announcement was made to-
night by the food administration,
which said the decision had been
reached at conferences between Presi-
dent Wilson and representatives of
the fuel, food and railroad admins
trations and the war industries board.
Factors which Influenced the de-
cision to prohibit the manufacture of
of beer after December /, the food
administration announcement said,
were: "The further necessity Of wal
industries for the whole fuel produc-
tive capacity of the country, the con-
siderable drought which has materi-
ally affected the supply of feeding
stuff for next year, the strain upon
transportation to handle necessary IN
dustries and the shortage of labor
caused by enlargement of the army
programme.
Warning Issued.
Warning was issued to manufac-
turers of all beverages and mineral
waters that for the same reasons
there will be further great curtail-
ment" in fuel for the manufacture of
glass containers, of tin plate for caps,
of transportation and of food pro-
ducts in such beverages"
Under national prohibition legisla-
tion passed by the Senate today and
sent to the House, which enacted sim
liar legislation last May, manufacture
ers Of beer and wine would be prohib-
tied after next May 1. 'Today's order
will shove up six months the time for
discontinuance Of the manufacture OF
beer, although. the breweries may be
allowed to resume operations between
that date and the effective operations
of the "dry" legislation, if finally en-
acted, since today's order was until
