MAY DEFER ALL ACTION ON THE
 TURK QUESTION

T
 AS TO TURKEYS FATE; MAN
 DATE WILL PROBABLY NOT BE
 GIVEN BY THE PRESENT CON
 FERENCE AT ALL.
 PARIS, Oct. 2S.-P)--According to statement of an official attached to the peace conference, it is en- tirely probable that the present con ference will leave the final decision on the Turkish question to be made by a later conference. Some mandate, it is admitted, must be appointed in the near future for Turkish ter ritories, but the conference is not ready to make a decision in the mat ter.
 It is the unspoken wish of the con ference that America take sucn mandate All nations represented at the conference feel that they could depend on the absolute impartiality of the Americans in an administra- tion of the affairs of these territor- ies, but it is difficult to pick out any other nation in whom the same de pendencc is placed. It is realized, however, there is serious doubt as to the willingness of America to ac- cept the mandate and the conference believes that she would not do so if it were offered.

With warm days comes the desire
for green foods. All leaf vegetables
are Mother Natures own cure for hui
man ills. Cabbage lettuce, spinach
and all green ebntain substances
known as vitamines, which are es-
sential to growth and maintenance Of
health. Vegetables and fruits also
contain an excess OF base-forming ell
ements which will counterfeit the ef-
feet Of the acid-forming elements, in
meat and eggs.
A liberal portion Of the dietary
should be given over to vegetables as
they furnish protein, large amount
of starch and sugar, small amount
of fat, mineral matter and unusually
a large percent OF water and cellulose.
It is entirely possible to prepare
canned vegetables in appetizing ways
until time for fresh garden truck.
Potatoes, peas, onions, celery, carrots
corn and other vegetables may be used
in vegetable soups, Of which white
sauce is used as the base. The water
in which the vegetables were cooked
should be saved, so that none Of the
mineral matter is lost. This water
may form part of the liquid for the
soup.
Left over cooked vegetables may be-
made into escalloped dishes, creamed
or souffles. Diced carrots, beets and
potatoes may be combined ina salad.
Cooked cabbage may be baked with a
cheese cream sauce and bread crumbs.

Meanwhile the Marietta, Teresa and
Rambler continued to search for the
missing men. Toward evening the
Teresa took the Courtney liz tow, but
was soon obliged to cast her off as she
was sinking. By this time the Doug
lass was making distress signals. Soon
after the Courtney sank and a little
later the Douglass had to be aband-
oned, after all aboard had been taken
off by the Teresa. At 1890 P. NJ. word
was received that the James was sink
ing. Toward morning the Marietta
and three other vessels, one of them a
destroyer from Brest, which had arriv-
ed in the mean time, stood by the
James, which was wallowing helpless
ly in the troughs of the sea. One Of
the four, the Penabscot. finally got a
line to the James, and began towing
her toward Brest. But the towline
parted, and the Penabscot disappeared
in the haze. Then the Marietta order
ed the James to fasten line to her
life raft and throw it into the sea.
The Marietta succeeded after time
to pick up the raft and fasten anoth-
er line to it, so that it could be used as
a ferry between the two vessels for
towing the men from the one to the
other. In this way every man aboard
the James was taken off, During the
forenoon the James went down.
The Marietta in company with the
McDonough then started to Brest. A
little later a wireless was received
stating the Gypsum Queen, a ship sent
from Brest to their relief, had struck
a rock or mine, and was sinking fast.

The Murray and the McDonough were

to find her. Later lifeboat with II
men from the Gypsum Queen was pick
ed up. The rest of the crew was lost.

LETTER FROM WALTER MALEY.

Miss Jessie Maley received some
what lengthy letter from her brother,
Walter, who recently passed through
an intensely interesting and at some
times hazardous experience during a
great storm at sea. The letter Is
dated May 4th. and was written abroad
the U. S. s. Marietta in the harbor
OF Brest. We give the following re-
sumo of the letter.
The Marietta had been scheduled
to leave Brest for the United States
on April Goth, but her departure was
delayed for a week because some Of
the other vessels that were to ac-
company her were not ready. On the
morning OF Easter Sunday the follow
ing vessels steamed out of the harbor:
Marietta (f1agship) Courtney, James
Anderson, Hinton, Douglas, McNeal.
Hubbard, Rambler, McDonough, Ter
esa, and Lewis. In convoy fornia-
tion, they headed for the United States
by way Of the Azores and Bermuda.
At one o'clock that afternoon the RAM
bier fell behind, because OF engine
trouble. A few minutes later one Of
her men went overheard, and all the
vessels Of the convoy engaged in try
ing to pick him up. A few minutes
later another man went overheard.
Then the Courtney reported that she
had sprung leak, and she was order
ed to return to Brest. A little later
seven other vessels were ordered to re-
turn. A heavy gale was blowing by
this time and the sea was getting very
rough.

ported as pest of wheat, oats, barley
rye, rice, and certain wild grasses in
Europe. The second disease is flag
smut of wheat which also is serious
disease of wheat In Australia, and is
known in India and Japan. Neither
pest, however. has ever been reported
to cause losses comparable to those
resulting from the great epidemics OF
black stem rust in this country.
There should be little difficulty in
recognizing flag smut, as it differs
radically from the other grain smuts.
Unlike the others, it attacks the upper
leaves, particularly the top one, which
is commonly called the flag leaf. The
name Of the disease comes from this
characteristic. The flag leaf always
shows long smut spore. stripes and
frequently is contorted or twisted into
a spiral Occasiopaly flag smut at
tacks the stems, as we'll as the upper
leaves. In this respect 1t resembles
the stem smut of rye, but differs from
it in that all Of the culms instead Of
one out of several are attacked. At
fected plants do not produce heads
The layman may have some diff
Guilty in distinguishing the take-all
disease from any other condition that
causes the plants to turn yellow in
patches over the field. Take-a!l APP
pears in round or irregular patches,
1xy;th ioh oil If re
treyed. That habit gave rise to the
name OF tak-Rll. In the infected pat
ches the plants are first yellow, later
becoming brown and dead. Diseased
plants are but weakly rooted to the
ground and the roots and foot Of the
stems become rotten. From this
comes another name, foot-rot, by
which the disease is sometimes known.
Affected plants may survive the early
or Seeding attack and produce heads,
but they never I'LL out and are dead
white in coldr. This gives rise to
third name Of the disease, white
head. ara
The Department Of Agriculture has
been apprehensive for some time that
these two diseases would be intro
duced into the United States. Sever
al weeks ago hearing was held with
a view to prohibiting the importation
Of seed wheat from Australia, Japan,
India. and practically the whole Of
Europe. Quarantine regulations were
being prepared sometime before the
discovery of the disease in Illinois,
Farmers were asked to report to the
County Agents Office Of any disease
affecting their wheat in order that
some measures may be taken to con-
troll them.
