NAVAL BOATS DO

first victim, had her stern blown in

mated the mine hunt would keep the
sweepers busy until October or No
vember. 1t involves a personnel of
about $500.
When the word was first mouthed
around through the ranks that Ameri-

before. the general opinion was that
it would be one of the most thrilling

was dropped. the fiotilla started out
in twos, each pair dragging cable be-

Mines Sown In Strings.
The mines, 80 map said, were sewii
in strings. All the sweepers had to
do was to straddle the line, pass from
one end to the other, and the cable.
between them, would do the rest.
OF course. the particular mine In
question wouldn't be the only one to go
off. The conclusion would always set
off others Immediately adjoining. and
probably still others adjoining these.
These two exigencies were provided
for on the map under the titles "zone
of extreme danger" zone of possible
danger" and beyond that "zone of
safety" In addition, there would be a
few other mines free-lancing around in
all three zones.
The first few days were rather dis
astrous. Captain Sexton and his staff
in London began to dread opening the
mornings dispatches. Gradually, with
Yankee resourcefulness, the Americans
seemed to be getting on top of the
job. until now Captain Sexton is con-
fident they are going to clean up the
assignment with minimum losses.

Appropriate Gardens.

Much that has been said in regard
to the house applies equally well to
the garden. Let it's style be deter
mined by locality. Formal gardens
with neat hedges and direct paths are
more and more appropriate as we ap-
proach the conventionalities of city
life. Leave the picturesque gardens
to spacious, picturesque surroundings.
Winding paths and other features of
the natural garden require to be close
to. nature. An orchard Is both more
useful and more beautiful in the prox-
unity of the small house that Is not
far from town. The cost of main
tenance is least in the orchard garden
with paved paths. Towering shrubs
and borders of perennials.

FAVORS HOOVER'S PLAN
TO SUPPLY EUROPE FOOD

PORTLAND.-Julius II. Barnes,
United States wheat director and
president of the United States gran
corporation, has made the followine
statement in reference to Mr.. Hooy-
er's plan to supply food to Europe on
credit using the capital of the grain
corporation;
81 would be very glad indeed il
congress should, in line with Mr.
Hooyor's suggestion, authorize this
plan to supply food to those people
now in urgent need in central Eu'
rope against their credit obligations
Their appeals to us at present arc
quite distressing. The profits of the
grain corporation and of the sugar
equalization board, are quite ma,
terial and may well be invested in
such humanitarian relief helping di-
rectly to steady the war-torn peoples
of Europe in their progress towards
the day when they can stand alone.
Last February the people of this
country expected to lose one billion
of dollars in discharging the war
time pledge of a producers wheat
price; IL now appears that so per
cent of the wheat of this country
is marketing outside the grain cor
pOration and above the government
guaranteed price. 1t is very improb-
able that the national treasury will
have any loss whatever from that
source. Congress may well consider
whether one hundred or two hun
dred millions of dollars of loan au-
thorized to these suffering nations
in the maintenance of social order
would not be proper return for part
Of the billion dollars to the national
treasury, instead of the preservation
OF the entire amount in cash"

BY Edward j. Bing
(By the United Press)

VIENNA.-(By Mail.)-In view
OF the general shortage of coal here,
the question of the production of
other fuel has again become ex-
tremely important. Special atten-
tion in financial circles is being paid
to oil and petroleum which eastern
Europe used to produce in abund-
ance.
The expectation and the equal and
iudicious distribution OF the material,
however, is rendered particularly dif-
ficult by the exceptionally grave pO-
ltical situation of the producing
countries as well as by the devasta-
tions of which this territory was the
theater. This refers above all to the
oil wells of Galicia and Roumania,
while the oil occurrences of Baku, on
the Caspian Sea, and Kerkuk-Chan-
ikil still deserve the greatest atten-
tion in the Far East. The extraor-
dinary abundance of the latter's pro-
ducts was one of the principal rea-
sons why the British naval craft
was reconstructed for oil heating.
While the petroleum and oil pro-
duction of Asia is more or less in
British hands already, there ought
to he good opportunity for the in
yestment of American capital in Ga
liCia and Roumania. American
business interests, however, must be
aware of the fact that one of the
most urgent and indispensable tasks
in regard to rational exploitation
of the oil wells in that part of the
world will be their reconstruction,
aiming at bringing about the pre-
war standard of production. While
the output of mineral oil in Galicia
which centered in Droh0bycz and
the neighboring territories-was
very great in normal times, con-
siderable number of wells have been
choked and devastated during the
course of the numerous battles
which took place there between the
Russians and the Austrians; even af-
ter the armistice and right now this
territory is the subject of dispute
between the Poles and the Ukrain-
ians; the wells are partly in British
and partly in American and Austrian
hands.
AS to the Roumanian oil wells, a
considerable part of these is not now
in working order, which is chiefly
due to the military measures taken
by the allies at the time Of the Ger
