ROBBINS, BUTLER, MO | — za . =? ee June 30, the annual report today of vessels, including those who went down with torpedoed merchant craft, was 5092, but suicides and accidental drownings these. that of the previous year, when 800 persons were lost on the steamer Eastland at Chicago. France, Dec. 21.—General issued a general order today abso- lutely forbidding American soldiers ister, said that the margin of loss at sea was narrowing. The sinkings by submarines, he declared, was de- creasing, while shipbuilding was in- creasing. The premier said the snking of submarines was increasing.“ Although the merchant tonnage was down by 20 per cent, he added, the loss had been only 6 per cént of imports over that of last year. . Regarding the military situation, Mr. Lloyd George said it was idle to pretend that the hopes formed had been realized. This disappointment he attributed to the Russian collapse. The Germans, the premier said, had only one succesa, which was due to surprise, and this was now engag- ing inquiry. The Germans, he stat- ed, had lost 100,600 prisoners, valu- able positions and hundreds of guns. Complete restoration of the terri- tories taken by the enemy, together with compensation, was’ demanded by Premier Lloyd George in explain- ing the war aims of the government, The premier said that the losses in shipping had been lighter by hun- dreds of thousands of tons than he had anticipated in his Augist esti- mats. The premier said that if the Russian army had fulfilled the expec- tations of its generals by this time the pride of the German - military power would have been completely humbled. On the whole the British campaign had not achieved the expectations formed, he said, but there had been military successes in Palestine which would have a permanent effect on the history of the world. Jeruselam, he stated, never would be restored to the Turks.~ After referring to the Italian re- verses, the premier said it would be necessary for Great Britain to make grcat sacrifices to strengthen its armies in the coming year, The need would arise to increase the nation’s man power by taking some men now exempted. 3 The premier’s speech was delivered when adjournment for the holidays was moved in the house of commons this afternoon. He dealt first with the problems of food. Two circum- stances, he said, had contributed late- ly to the gravity of the situation—the failure to obtain margarine and butter from Holland and Denmark and the fact that England had been required to make sacrifices in order to supply deficiencies of her allies. Owing to the efforts of the food ‘controller an improvement was visible in circum- stances which had caused so much anxiety in the last few days. More tea was coming in .and it was hoped by increased manufacture to improve the situation as regards margarine shortly. Owing to the food difficulties in Germany, the premier went on, the physical deteriation of workmen there had been so marked that the output per man: had been decreased by 33 per cent. As for the British casualities, Mr. Lloyd George said, they had nat amounted to more than one-fourth or one-fifth, of the Germans. Opposed to Germany, Austria and their allies, he asserted, were man power and re- serves more than double those which the Teutonic allies possessed. ‘*The government, said the premier, would confer next week with trades unions on the man-power proposals. The advent of America into world’s politics, the premier declared, was an event which would leom large in the future. This was true also of the es- tablishment of the international council at Versalles. As for the disposition of the Ger- man colonies, the premier said that must be settled by the peace congress, The future trustees of those countries must take into account the sentiments of the people themselves. The premier told his hearers that a league of nations in which Germany was represented by triumphant mili- tarism would be hollow tarce. Great Britain did not enter the war, the premier asserted, to increase by a yard the territory of anyone else, but because of. the belief that Brittain’s honor, the question of standing by her word, was involved. 71 Ship Passengers Lost in 309 Mil- lion Carried in Year. Washington, D. C., Dec. 21—Only 71 passengers were lost out of more than 300,000,000 carried on American ships during the fiscal year “ending the Steamboat Inspection Service shows. The total of deaths on American accounted for 210 of The year’s total was 684 fewer than Ban Drinks for Pershing’s Men. With the United States Army in Pershing Lloyd George, the British prime i rmade by ten White Leghorn pullets e last year. These pullets were pur- chased November 1, 1916, by H. L, Kempster of Columbia, Mo. Only January 1. At the end of seven months, May 31, the flock had pro- duced 749 eggs at a feed cost of less tham 14 cents: a dozen. The average retail price of eggs in Columbia dur- ing this time was not less than 35 cents a dozen. Thus, on the basis of that price, the hens returned a Jabor income of $1.32 each. The house in which the birds were kept had been made of packing boxes and was covered with roofing paper. The actual cost of the house not in- cluding packing boxes was $3.85. During the seven months the birds ate 225 pounds of cracked corn and 125 pounds of mash. The mash con- sisted of equal parts by weight of bran, shorts, cornmeal, and_ beef scrap. Oyster shell was kept before the hens in a can attached to the wall. The total feed cost including one bale of straw was $8.66. Owing to the -high price of feeds it may not be possible to produce eggs so cheaply during the present winter. However, Mr. Kempster suggests that the record made by these hens was fot exceptional, At any rate the backyard poultry keeper will be able to make. considerable saving by pro- ducing his own eggs. Further infor- mation concerning the backyard poul- ‘try flock will be found in Extension Circular 26 of the University of Mis- bia, Mo. , The Honors of Atrocity. The Sultan of Turkey has gracious- ly “conferred on the German Kaiser the diamond star of the Iftichar Or- der, Turkey's highest war decoration, and the Kaiser has decorated the Sul- tan with the star and chain of the Ho- henzollern Order with diamonds. The honors are even—the hero of the Belgian and Lusitania murders honors and is honored by the hero of Armenian -massacres. question the deserving of the honors or the respective fitness of the mu- tual donors and recipients. But to the intelligence and con- science of the world ‘a Liberty. Loan button, showing that an American cit- izen has done his or her part in sup- port of our Government, is a vastly more honorable decoration than the diamond. orders of the Sultan and the Kaiser. It signifies only a simple patriotic duty done; but the diamond orders stand for colossal infamy and murder, U-Boat Crew Captured by French. Paris, Dee. 21.—French torpedo boats captured the commander and 2t members of the crew of a German submarine which sank the antiquated French cruiser Chateau Renault in the Mediterranean, it was learned here today, The Chateau Renault, which was being used as a transport, was escorting several ships when at- tacked. The U-boat delivered one torpedo, then submerged and came up on the other side of the cruiser, firing amother torpedo into her. In the meantime, French destroyers came up and sank the submersible with shell fire. The struggling German sailors were picked up out of the water. Hard-Hitting U. S. Bullets “Chew Up” German Armor. With the American) Army in France, Dec. 20.—The German sol dier’s armor will not withstand the hard-hitting American bullet, it has been shown. A heavy breast-plate removed from a German prisoner for a test was lit- erally chewed to pieces by machine- gun fire, after a rifle bullet fired at a good range had torn a‘hole in the armor as big as a silver dollar. Even the bullets from an automat- | ic pistol did the work it was expected they would in this respect. BUTLER IS NO EXCEPTION Butler People Come Out as Frankly Here-as Elsewhicre.

Washigton, Dec. 19.—Government plans for a billion-bushel wheat crop next year to help the United States feéd its allies have received a set- back. ment of agriculture that, while winter wheat was planted on the largest acreage ever sown to that cerial, its condition on December 1 was the low- est on record for that date. A winter crop of 540,000,000 bushels was forecast by the bureau of crop estimates. The actual production will be greater or less than that quantity, according as conditions hereafter are better or worse than av- erage. Through a great spring. crop it still is hoped to bring the year’s tg- tal to somewhere near the billion mark, An area of more than 47,000,000 acres was the mark set by the gov- ernment for farmers to plant to win- ter wheat this fall, but the December canvass shows that 42,170,000 acres were. sown. The farmers did their best, depart- ment of agriculture officials say, but conditions were against them. The very dry weather in most of the win- ter wheat belt was a large drawback, while late harvest of other crops and shortage of farm help were contrib- uting causes for the failure, Should the winter wheat crop ma- ture to 55,000,000 bushels as fore- cast today, it would be the third larg- est on record, being exceeded only by the crops of 1914 and 1915. Govern- ment officials had figured on having winter wheat .production reaching 672,000,000 bushels, but today’s fore- cast indicates that it will fall .132,- 009,000 bushels short of that figure. Indications are that rye production will be 25,000,000 bushels larger than last year’s record crop. Already steps are being taken for a large increase in the acreage of the spring wheat crop to be planted next spring. Council of national de- fense and department of agriculture officials have conferred and will adopt measures to insure an adequate labor supply for planting operations, ample supplies of sced wheat and help for the vests The largest spring wheat crop heretofore was in 1915, when 351 were har- vested from 19,161,000 acres. 54,000 bushels 4 More Deaths Reported in France by Pershing.
