PEEvED HUNS NOW
 COMPLAIN BECAUSE
 RHEIMS HOLDS FAST

Amsterdam, June 1.-The French re- sistance at Rheims appears to be highly unpleasant to the Germans, according to a semi-official telegram from Berlin. The message, which doubtless is intended for the ears of the credulus in Germany, tries to di vert attention from the German fail ure, thereby plaintively upbraiding the French for not abandoning the city.
 Rheims, it is asserted has no tacti- cal or strategical value whatever. The Germans desire to spare it but are forced to shell it because the French will not evacuate it. The message asserts that the defense of the city "has been left entirely to negroes from Senegal and Madagascar"
 These troops are reported as being in state of despair, because they had been told the Germans "woulc torture them to death."
 An attempt is made to mollify then by the statement that negroes are treated by Germans, "like other pri. soners."

TELLS HOW SEA
 BANDITS TOOK
 STEAMER TEXfL
Captain Says Hun Was Cruising U-Boat and Had
 Been Over Two Months

Atlantic City, N. J., June 1.-The thirty-six survivors of the steamship Texe1, sunk Sunday afternoon sixty miles south of New York by two Ger man submarines, prepared today to leave here for; New York.
 .The first warning we had" said Captain R. K. Lowry, was when a shrapnel burst over the bridge at APO on Sunday afternoon. Two subma- rines next drew alongside our ship. The captain who spoke good English, boarded our boat, demanded our pap CTS and ordered Us to leave the ship. The guns of his u-boat were kept trained on us."
 After the submarine commander had taken over the Texel, Captain Lowry reported that the captor said:
 ssI hate like to do this, but we have been ordered to get into ac- tiOn or return home. We have been over here for two months"
 There was no attempt to get the men," Captain Lowry continued. We saved. When we were leaving. one submarine nearly crashed into us. The captain shouted and waved us back to safety"
 The Texel sank at 5:15.
 Captain Lowry is convinced that his ship was sunk by one of the new Ger man submarine cruisers and that it crossed the Atlantic and did not come from a base on this side of the At lantic.
 Information dropped during con versatiOn with the German command CT to whom Captain Lowry surrender ed leads him to that belief. A piece of shell picked up in the engine room indicated, the engineer said. that the submarine carried at least six-inch guns.
 Twelve of the Texel crew were in Merviewed. Two said the submarine was $50 feet long and ten placed it's length at least 300 feet. It carried guns fore and aft.
 The Germans acted with all the DO lite ruthlessness of western bandit according to the young skipper, who is but 2S years old.

who met him at the top of the ladder, he would give us time to get off before he sank the ship. He examined the ships papers, and then waited with his men, who were heavily armed.
 Crews Behave Splendldly.
 "The captain watched while the boats were being filled and lowered. There were more than 200 passengers, and more than 100 in the crew. The women and children of course went first. The crew, altho many of them could not speak English, behaved splendidly. Ten boats were filled and we pulled away from the ship. l shall never see anything like it again! Yet intensely dramatic as it was, it all seemed unreal.

 "In the night we were separated from other boats. Lieut. McLaren and Chief Purser Murtz looked after us wonderfully. The men did their best to keep our spirits up during those long hours at night. They in sisted we eat what little food there was, and gave us most of the water They took very little of the food and water for themselves"

 George A. Prescott, State Food Administrator is the promulgator of this edict, but is not responsible therefor. The omission of rice and old shoes is in the interests of pat riotism.
 Rice is needed for food, and old shoes should be sent to Belgium or France, says MT. Prescott.

The most hopeful aspect of the gar
dening situation, according to the de-
partment officials who are willing to

of their belief that the home and COM
munity garden has come to stay, and
that those who have undertaken the

tinue 1t after victory has been won.
Their opinion is based, they say,

Spread of War Garden Movement
Is Reported From Every
Section of Country.
ADDS MUCH TO POckETBOOk
Examples of Progress of Home, Chill
dren's and Community Gardens In
dictate They Have Come to Stay
Some of the Advantages.

War gardens as whole including
home, children's and community gar
aens. are more numerous and far more
productive this year than last, accord
ring TO the department of agriculture.
This Is the consensus of opinion of
those who have been working on the
garden problem, and is based on
specific reports of the departments
sgents. and upon the observations of
its specialists throughout the country.
While 1T is reported that seedsmen
sold less seed to home gardeners this
year than they did last, this does not
mean that there are less gardens or
smaller paintings. Amateurs learned
East year that they bought too much
seed Some of this. seed was I'M
aonbtedly kept over, and many gar
sieners saved seed from last years
crop for planting this season. A few
gardeners going to work in 1917 with
more enthusiasm than experience de-
eided not to plant this year, but a
great many more who did not make
gardens last year made them this
season.
Estimates Not Reliable.
Estimates of the number of gardens
vary, and there are no figures other
than cOnjectures. Department garden
specialists say that an estimate of TO-
100000 home gardens is conservative
but admit that this figure represents
emily a good guess.
Specific examples show how the gar
den movement has grown. Before the
war, according to the garden leader of
the District of Columbia. there were
not more than 5000 gardens in the
federal district which contains the
capital of the country. Now there are
5000. including school gardens, with
marked increase in 1918 over 1917.
Chicago has $4,000 gardens. 10000
of which are home gardens, 10000 chill
aren's gardens and 23S,O00 community
gardens. Oklahoma City had more
than $4,000 gardens last year.
Gardens on Farms.
1t must not be supposed, either, that
city man and suburbanite constituted
the only classes that needed admoni-
fion to start gardens, and the only
ones that needed the edmonton. The
county agent of Oswego county, New
York. maintains that the majority of
farmers in his county have not had
gardens and that much of the effort
toward more and better home gardens
rather than on the city man.
In the South last year more than
$4,000 new gardens were started
through the efforts of farm demonstra-
ton agents. and this figure takes no
account of many gardens established
as an indirect result of the work Of the
department of agriculture OF even
greater significance has been the great
amount of gardening done through the
cooperation of Industrial enterprises.
Many of the great lumber mills and
cotton mills of the South have en-
eouraged their employees to have home
gardens even to the extent of furnish
ing the ground and the blowing, and
allowing time off with pay for the

Better Marketing.

Last year the production of perish
ables is estimated to have been so per
cent greater than normal. Notwith-
standing the large output. the market
ing difficulties were relatively less
than in former years because of the
effective efforts of the people through
out the country, assisted by federal
and state agencies, to conserve these
products for future use by canning,
preserving, picking and drying The
department is again actively assisting
in the conservation of perishables. as
it did last summer, and is able to rem
der more effective assistance with its
largely increased staff. More effective
assistance also is being rendered in
the marketing of perishable products
through the greatly extended daily
market news service of the bureau of
markets and the weekly reports Of
truck crop production prepared by the
bureau Of crop estimates.

Potatoes.

The normal acreage Of Irish and
sweet potatoes should be maintained
in 1918, Notwithstanding the large
crops of 1917.
This is especially true IN view of
the necessity of releasing more wheat
for export. Potatoes. both Irish and
sweet. are the most popular and most
generally used Of the perishable staple
crops. The department. through its
extension and publication activities. Is
encouraging their greater use, espe-
cially the use of the Irish potato as a
partial substitute for wheat in bread
making.
The yield per acre can be made
more certain by greater attention to
the selection of disease-free potatoes
of good varieties. by treatment of seed
potatoes Immediately before planting.
and by the use Of sprays to prevent
loss from blight.
