INCREASE DEFENSES

NEW YORK, June o.-(RAThe
Germans acknowledged tonight
that the Allies have strongly in
creased their defenses against
Axis submarine attack, particular
ly along the Gulf and Atlantic
coasts of the United States.
''The fight against enemy sup
ply shipping and patrol and escort
vessels of the enemy assumed par
ticular fierceness in the past
week." said the Berlin radio in a
German-language broadcast for
European consumption, recorded
here by CHS. 1t continued:
1.-THE enemy has strongly in
creased his submarine defense and
convoy protection, and is using for
the battle against the ever-great-
er submarine danger all available
craft.
''It could be observed that along
the east coast of the United States
small and very small coastal yes
sells were used for coastal patrol
and also for convoy service.
"Blimps of the American Navy
and all types of land and e a
planes are patrolling the 3,0oo-kil-
ometer long south and southeast
coast of the United States in or
der to discover the positions of the
Axis underwater raiders" 4

CAIRO, Egypt, June 90 Up -
How 16 crippled British ia k S,
some without ammunition and
others with jammed turrets, rum

an attacking unit of Is German
tanks to withdraw was told today
by middle-aged British major.
The major learned the German

rounded up 16 tanks and + r m
lancers and Hussars and t a n k
corps men waiting for machines

stretches, and were harassiag the
enemy with repeated raids. Their
attacks were exploiting the main
problem confronting Marshal Err
win Rommel-his heightened sup
ply lines.
The Germans surround Tobruk
but have not yet moved up to
lay siege or assault that strong
hold which hurled back every
Axis attempt to take it last year
in the eight months it was iso-
lated. The strong defense works
at the port continued to threaten
the Axis rear.
The British also were consoli-
dating their new positions, much
nearer their supply bases, after
Withdrawing and getting into the
strongest possible positions for
both defensive and offensive ac-
ton.
Military experts said the situa-
tlon is similar to that OF last
year just before Gen. Sir Claude
Auchinlcck started his offensive
which drove the Axis half way to
Tripoli before stalling at Ell Aghei-
la.
(The German high command
said German and Italian troops
are carrying on the attack and
pursuit of the enemy. Several hun
dred prisoners were taken and
important supplies captured" The
Italians said Tobruk was bombed.)
While critics in London clamor-
ed for a parliamentary debate on
the latest British defeat, it was
disclosed that the turning point
in the fight came one week ago
when a large British tank force
ran into an ambush of the effec-
tive German 88-millimeter guns.

GELS. one a small United States
chip IN the Caribbean and the
otber a small Nicaraguan vessel
have been sunk by enemy tor
nedoes with loss of life in eacn

Only five of the 25-man crew
escaped the swift destruction OF
The Nicaraguan ship on the night
Of June Is.
A torpedo from a German sub
marine sent the little vessel to the
bottom in a minute and half.
some so miles off shore.
The five who escaped did SO by
cutting lifeboat free and jumping
in as the sea swirled up to it, ac-
cording to the naval announce
ment.
They escaped a second time a
few minutes later when the at
tacking submarine, apparently ac-
cidentally, damaged the lifeboat.
One man was taken aboard the
raider for questioning.
In the other sinking, the heroic
captain of the small United States
freighter shepherded his crew OFT
the ship as the submarine maneuv-
cred to launch torpedo, put his
own lifebelt around sailor, and
then died when the explosion came.
He was identified as Capt. Will
liam H. Lane of Philadelphia, ana
described by Jacob l.. Gregory,
second assistant engineer, as "the
bravest man who ever looked
death in the face"
Despite his efforts, lifeboas
containing four men disappeared
when the torpedo struck and the
IS surviving creWmen expressed
belief that it was blown to bits.
The ship sank in so seconds after
the attack on June l.
Chief Officer Walter Ruge G;
(444 E. 92nd ST. New York city.
saw the submarine on the surface,
some minutes before the torpedo
was launched. He gave the alarm.
Captain Lane ordered boats to
pull away and told Ruge to jump
over the side and swim for life
boat. The captain took off his
lifebelt and tossed it to a seaman
who dived over the side and swan
for safety.
One boat was slow in getting
away. Captain Lane stood on the
deck, encourag aging the four men IN
it to pull away from the doomed
craft At that moment the torpedo
exploded. The boat, it's men and

COMMITTEE KILLS
SALES TAX PLAN

up again for many months, If at
all. The vote against a sales tax
was not announced but was reported
to have been 13 to 8 with two prox-
les cast.
Representative McKenough 3D.
IlD and Healey D-Mass), who led
the fight against such a. levy, con-
tended that it would fall dispropor-
tionately heavy on those with low
incomes.
BY 10 to vote, the committee
agreed tentatively to the pay-as
you-go system of collecting individ-
ual income taxes. 1t is designed to
complete in two years a shift from
the current system of paying one
years taxes the next year to a
program of paying at least part of
current taxes out of current income.
Generally speaking, the new plan
would work like this:
An individuals annual personal
exemptions would be determined and
divided by 50 to ascertain the week
ly exemptions. A 10 per cent with
holding tax" would be levied on that
part Of the weekly pay check not
covered by the exemption.
Half of the pay deduction could
be used as a credit against 1912
taxes due beginning next March Is,
and the other half would accumu-
late as credit against 1943 taxes
due March Is, 1914. Beginning in
1914, the full 10 per cent deduction
would be applied against 1914 taxes.
In order to reach those whose in
come is not in the form of regu-
lar checks, the Treasury proposed a
separate treatment for such persons
as business men and recipients OF
rents.

By the Master Gardener

Most gardeners have been con-
vinced through actual results on
their own premises that fall lawn
seeding is not only satisfactory but
highly desirable. as compared to
spring seeding-that results from
fall seeding are actually superior to
spring seeding Fall feeding of lawns
has also been proved to be very
beneficial.
Now comes the questions of fall
feeding versus spring feeding of
trees. There seems to be an idea
prevalent among some gardeners
that much Of the plant food applies
to tree in the fall is lost thru
teaching Of the food from the soil,
before the tree roots can absorb it.
Let's see what some of the author
tiles say about it

Phlox Cultivation

cation and spade it deeply Mix
in either well-rotted manure or bone
meal, and set the plants about q
foot apart.
Divide the old clumps at least
every three years for the best results.
The centers of the clumps lose their
vitality first, and they should be dis
carded when making the divisions.
Use the outer more vigorous portions
when making the new paintings.
In watering phloX try not to wet
plants or flowers, but direct the
spray along the ground to prevent
mildew to which the plants seem to
be susceptible in some areas.
Never allow seed pods to form on
the plants, as these take strength
from the parent root and also scat.
ter and germinate very easily. These
new seedlings are not like the fine
specimen plants from which they
drop, but they are hardy and vigor-
Gus and are quite apt to crowd
out the better kinds. 1t is often
impossible to tell before they bios
som which are the new seedlings and
which are the good plants. This
seems to be the reason why many
gardeners complain that their prize
varieties have reverted back to the
common old-fashioned type.
If red spiders infest the plants
they may be busted with fine sui
phur dust or syringed with the hose.
Powdery mildew also can be con-
trolled by use Of fine sulphur dust.

leaves. Diseased plants and their
surrounding soil must be removed

Early Fall Is Time to Plant
Bulbs for Spring Blooms

Bulbs for spring bloom should
be planted during the months of
September and October. The tulips
are perhaps the single exception as
they start to grow quickly when
planted, and it is better to delay
setting them out until late October
or early November.
1t Is hard to recommend any
selections this fall, as most of the
countries which formerly supplied
our markets are now either at war
themselves or are overrun by the
enemy. American growers have been
building up the bulb-raising industry
for the past several years, however,
and have some lovely specimens to
offer. Study the supplies available
in your local markets, and choose
some of your favorites from them.

Fall Feeding of Trees
Many Experts Find Procedure
To Be Extremely Beneficial

factors, temperature and moisture
Although spring has been the gen.
eral period OF applying fertilizers,
recent experimental work indicates
that with shade trees at least, fall
is just as favorable or more favor
able. Recently investigators have
pointed out that root activity con-
tinues until relatively late in the
fall.
Since root growth does proceed
at least until early winter in most
OF Ohio, it is presumed that fer
tilizer materials applied in the fall
will be absorbed to a considerable
extent and that little will be lost by
teaching. Furthermore, If they are
applied correctly. there is little pos
sibility Of the stimulation of top
growth late in the fall that might
be injured over winter.
"The fall application should not
be made until after the fall rains
have amply moistened the soil.
Tests have shown that about Oc-
tober l Is favorable time at Co.
lumbus, Ohio. Many times, soil
temperature and moisture will be
more favorable for rapid growth in
the fall than in the spring. In the
spring soils are often too cold and
may contain too much water at the
time fertilizer should be applied"
P. P. Pirone of the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station ad-
vocates either late fall or early
spring feeding. but 1t Is his opinion
that fall applications have an ad-
vantage because some nutrients will
enter the roots in the fall and also
in the very early spring. and the re-
mainder will be available later. He
points out that tree roots become
active very early, some time before
the buds begin to swell or before
there is other evidence of growth
activity above ground, and therefore
fertilizer applied in the fall and
already In place can be quickly
utilized.
E. P. christopher of the Rhode
Island Experiment Station several
years ago gathered information all
over the country concerning the
contributing causes of winter in
jury to trees, and he found that
fertile soils and large food reserves
IN the tree at the beginning of
winter are everywhere recognized as
important safety factors. He found
that a great deal of consideration
was being given to fall fertilization,
and that experiments demonstrated
that plant food applied in Septem-
Der made leaves stick on the trees
and stay a dark green much later
IN the fall. Experiments were made
| to determine the late fall activity
OF leaves on fed and unfed trees.
Results were striking. Leaves on
| fed trees manufactured several
times as much food as those on un-
fed trees
Therefore do not hesitate to give
your trees fall feeding. Be assured
that plant food will be utilized by
the tree to very good advantage and
that results will be equal to those
secured by spring feeding-pos-
sibly better.
Use a complete balanced plant
focd-one that is readily available
and that contains all the elements
essential to healthy, vigorous
growth. Apply according to manu-
facturer's directions.
