One of the best ways of insuring clover
seedlings is to apply manure ON the
wheat where the seeding is to be made.
Clover seeds are so small that very
little food material is provided for the
seeding plant, so an available supply
of nutrients must be present in the sur
face soil.

Smelling Of Ship Charged.
John Cudahy, United States Min
lister to Ireland, watched the trans
fer of the rescued passengers from
the Norwegian ship to the tender
which brought them ashore.
Among the rescued was DR.. John
klrk of Boston, Mass, who said,
MY wife was killed in the explo-
sion. and all want to know now is
whether my two children who were
travelling with us are safe"
Capt. Cook said that Immediately
after the torpedo was fired the sub
marine rose to the surface and
shelled the Athena.
"One shell carried away the main
mast" he related.
1T was evidently aimed at the
wireless room but missed its mark. !"
He called witnesses to tell news
papermen that the torpedo was fired
at a range of 300 to 1000 yards on
the port side of the vessel.
One officer said he saw the peri
scope Of the submarine Just before
the torpedo struck.
Other officers and members of
the crew said they saw a line of
smoke rising from the water of the
port side just before the disaster.
The smoke described complete
circle over the surface of the water.
Capt. Cook said he did not know
how many were dead and injured.
The captain added, There was no
panic whatever on board the ship.
The passengers faced danger
bravely."
AS they came ashore the survivors
crowded about the few available
telephones, anxious to inform their
friends Of their safe arrival in
Ireland.
Ruth E. Strauss of New York
said: Il saw a flash on the port
side Of the Athena about 800 to
1000 yards away. The torpedo
struck in few seconds and was
followed by shell. The ship was
still af1oat when we left the scene
five hours later"
Coming thankfully ashore in this
picturesque rockbound port, 10 of
those seriously injured were taken to
the Galway hospital by Irish army
doctors and staff nurses. After them
came the rest, women and children
wearing rough work clothes-loaned
them by sailors aboard the Knut
Nelson-over the scanty garb in
which they escaped the stricken
ship.
Worn by exposure and weak from
lack OF sleep and irregular diet, the
first survivors all told the same story.
They were asleep when awakened
by a terrific explosion which shook
the ship and sent children in their
berths sprawling onto cabin floors.
They were ordered to abandon ship
and take to the nfeboats, q move
ment which was carried out in per
feet order"
About $50 Americans were among
those brought here. Many wore
night clothes and blankets-36 hours
after the disaster. The Norwegian
vessel carried no regular physician;
so two doctors went out last night
