Treat Potatoes

Many Irish seed potatoes set aside
for spring planting are infected with
fungus diseases that cut down
stand, injure the roots, cripple the
potatoes, and reduce yields. Or
ganisms that cause common black
scurf or rhizoctonia and under GER
tain conditions common scale and
black leg, usually can be controlled
by treating afflicted seed with for
maldehyde. While seed potatoes are
usually treated just before planting,
the work may be done with equal
success at any time in the winter or
spring, provided the potatoes are
dried properly or are not reinfected
by storing in old containers or bins
which have not been disinfected.
It is in fact an advantage to treat
potatoes some time in advance of
planting so that If the sprouts are
injured, new ones may form.

A spokesman for the American
Legion today termed "out of order
the recommendation of the District
department of the Legion that the
national body adopt resolution
calling tor careful consideration OF
the nomination of Col Elliott Roose-
velt to be a brigadier general
E. H. Burns, assistant national
adjutant in charge of the Washing
ton branch of the national office
said the local resolution had not
been received by his Office and he
predicted that it would not be taken
up by the national group.
I'VE as a national body would
never go into the matter of promo
tions," he declared. 1--WE stay out
of all matters involving the Army
and its officers" He added: I'm
pulsive men take action which
sometimes is contrary to the posi-
ton of the Legion
An official of the local department,
meanwhile, claimed that the sugges-
ton that the National Legislative
Committee look into the Roosevelt
nomination and refer any protest
to the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee was brought up at last
Thursdays meeting by a civilian
employe of the War Department
who was fighting the battle of some
officers at the Pentagon,'
The employe is a veteran of this
war, the official said. He added that
from the evidence presented by the
veteran in protesting the nomination
'it was obvious the material came
from officers in the Pentagon"

Army Paper Assai|s
$4,000 AW0L Troops
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Jan. %. - The Army
newspaper Stars and Stripes lashed
out yesterday at the $1,000 soldiers
absent without leave in the Euro
pean theater of operations.
I'VE don't know the AWOL rate
in the Red Army the editorial
said. Our guess is it's low"
Asserting the Russians know
what they are fighting for and have
no illusions about the Germans,
the newspaper added:
"A bitter fact can also go on rec
ord-that there are $4,000 American
soldiers in the European theater of
operations who haven't the faintest
idea what this war is about, who
seemingly know nothing about its
causes-and care less about its out
come; who make it business to
murder their pals by engaging in
black market skullduggery: who
deny the great overwhelming mass
of informed, thinking. loyal Amer
leans the amount of food and fuel
they need to finish their jobs
Lit. Gen. Ben Lear, deputy COM
mander of American troops in the
European theater. said Saturday he
was mot alarmed" at the high fig
ure of AWOL soldiers, since it was
likely that only a few thousand of
them were willfully absent. He
said most of them were simply
overstaying their passes or were
accidentally delayed in getting
back to their units.
The provost marshals office said
the figure was actually lower than
in the World War, although double
what it was before D day.

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The French
Navy Ministry said today the sub
marine Surcouf-the worlds larg-
est-was lost in April, 1912, in the
Caribbean Sea in IAN accident"
with an American freighter.
A spokesman said the Navy Min
istry had no details of the sinking
as the collision or ramimng oc-
CURED at night when the underseas
craft happened to surface near an
American convoy. There were no
survivors of the submarine crew.
The captain of the ship reported
sinking submarine. BY comparing
dates American and French officials
concluded the sunken craft was the
Surcouf.
The French Navy Ministry state
ment came after publication in
Montreal of a report saying the
2,88O-ton Surcouf had been sunk
by an American vessel. The report
was printed over the week end in a
Montreal Standard dispatch from
Ottawa.
The dispatch said it was believed
in Ottawa that details of the sinking
of the submarine never were off,
cially disclosed because Gen. Charles
de Gaulle decided against it through
fear that French reaction woulc
jeopardize his efforts to obtain
American recognition.
The dispatch said now-discred-
tied story of the sinking was that
the Surcouf was sent to the bottom
by Allied naval units after pro.
Vichy crew members had seized il
and murdered two British naval Of
ficers aboard.
The Standard said the Surcouf
based at Halifax, was engaged ir
North Atlantic convoy duty wher
an American ship ripped into hel
hull and sent her to the bottom with
her crew of 125 officers and men.

dispatch said, whether the United

Fighting Isl Division
Makes Major Attack
Under Gen. Andrus

WEYWERTz, Belgium, Jan. 90
The 1st Division made its first ma ior
attack yesterday under its new COM
mander, Brig. Gen. Cliff Andrus
of Washington, who had served the
division for more than two years as
artillery general
The men of the famous Fighting
First" reported their heaviest re-
sistance at the start came from
enemy mines and snowdrifts 3 to
7 feet deep. The 1st Division had
been making series of local at
tacks" for II nights previously and
in that time they had advanced
miles, taken 1,700 prisoners, killed
1000 more Germans, captured 10
guns and destroyed five tanks.
Shortly after midnight front line
infantrymen clad in snow capes and
newly issued arctic suits began as
sembling along the jump-off line.
The whiteclad figures moved stealth
lily in long lines out from American
positions through the blizzard. They
could see only few feet ahead
Nazis Asleep in Dugout.
Beneath their softly crunching
feet lay the danger of wooden box
mines which blow off a leg on con-
tact. Ahead of them lay barbed- wire
barriers which had to be preached
silently to catch the Germans asleep
in their frigid dugouts.
Each doughboy carried two half
pound chunks of dynamite to help
blow himself foXhole when time
came to dig into the frozen earth
and held the gains.
In less than two hours after the
jumpof time, 1t. Col. Henry G..

men had taken the village of Ber-

as sort of bonus to themselves
and in revenge for the loss of one
of their own men. The Nazis had

The new power line which was

between Troy and Libby was
hooked up Sunday noon with $4,000
volts going over the aluminium
wire carrying electricity from the
Libby plant to Troy.
The Montana Power Co, Troy
which is subsidiary Of the j. Neils
Co., will repair their plant there
putting in a flume, providing prior
tiles can be obtained. At present
the Troy plant is capable of only
1850 kilowatts maximum. 1t is
planned to eventually enlarge this
The set up is SO constructed that
if the need arises, the juice foi
both cities can be generated here
in Libby or it can be reversed anc
Troy can provide electrical power
for Libby and itself thus eliminat
ing any long blackouts.
