CONTEST! and etcher- zr nzu I 1 no HEAVY FROSTS irr NE BRASKA; big corn Yield Killing frosts occurred Sunday night in Minnesota, below freezing temperatures being reported from all over the northern portion of the state. Twenty-six degrees was re ported at Moorhead. There were also heavy frosts in northeastern South Dakota and eastern North Da kota and freezing weather in Canada. Crop damages were re ported from the Dakotas. The lowest temperature reported in Nebraska was 45 above zero at Hartington. - The lowest in Omaha was 50 degrees at 7 o'clock Monday morning. Light showers reported from the northeastern portion ex tend about half across the state. The weekly crop report of the Burlington railway shows the soil in good condition except in the south western portion of the state, where it is too dry for fall plowing. Thresh ing is nearly completed. The corn crop ,of Nebraska is es timated at 220,000,000 bushels against 192,000,000 bushels last year. The Kansas corn crop is esti mated at 82,000,000 bushels against 70,000,000 in 1916. The condition of .this crop is reported as better now than it was August 1, when it was hown to be exceptionally good. It is said if frost holds off a few weeks longer the corn yield will be immensely satisfactory and in any case it will be fairly so. Late potatoes are in an excellent condition and the early crop is of average size. The condition of sugar beets is better than the average. FLAG STICKERS.

AMERICAN STEAMER SURVIVES ATTACK Report From Westwego to Navy De partment ; Off Coast of France September 5. Washington, D. C, Sept. 11. American destroyers are believed to have sunk six hostile submarines off the coast of .France September 5, while convoying a fleet of merchant men from the United States. Two of the merchant ships were lost, but so far as reported, without loss of life. Meager reports to the navy department, today give a brief account of the; fight, transmitted from the American tank steamer Westwego, one , of the ships which survived the attack. The merchant fleet, of which the Westwego was one, was enroute to Europe from the United States when attacked. The vessels were ' under convoy, but no details of the fight were included in the reports re ceived. No loss of life was report ed nor were the names of the two ships sunk included in the dispatch. It is not known whether they were American ships or not. The navy department has cabled for additional information. The Westwego was built by Ger many in 1914 for the Rumanian ac count, under the name of the StiKlua Romania. Later her registry was changed to American nnd afterward her name was made Westwego. The vessel is of 3,090 tons net and carried a crew, of 4 2. Latest reports show she was in an American port August S. and later sailed on a trans-Atlantic voyage, commanded Captain Mulcoy. Report to Navy. I lie navy departments only in formation was 'made public in the following statement: "The navy department has receiv ed a report from Paris which states that the steamer Westwego reports en September S. that, while cruising with several' other ships, was at tacked by a massed force of six submarines - off the coast of France on September 5. The result of this attack was that two of the Ft earn ers attacked were sunk and probably all of the submarines were lost. While this does not actually Ftate that American destroyers were con veying the ships, it is believed to be the fact. " It was announced recently that a policy of convoying fleets of mer chant ships across the. Atlantic had been adopted, and since the West wego and the other merchant craft which were the objects of the sub marine attack were bound for Eur ope it is regarded as more than prob- J able that American warships guard ed the merchant ships on the way across. Depth Bombs Probably Used. American warships have all been equipped with depth bombs for fighting submarines. This weapon has been highly perfected by Amer ican ordnance experts uiwl proved very deadly. If detailed reports bear out the first dispatch they will signalize the most notable action against "sub marines since the war began. In no other case has such a wholesale destruction of U-boats been reported. It also will mark a most striking vie tory for the American naval forces I he Westwego had an experience with a German submarine before the United States entered the war, having been attacked by one Jan uary 1, while off the-coast of Eng laud. She was proceeding from an American port with a cargo of oil for Europe, when a submarine fired five shots at her. from astern. The Westwego's captain, J. S. Mulcoy, brought his vessel to a stop and sent a boat with his papers, where upon the German submarine com mander demanded a supply of oil, threatening to sink the ship if his demands were not complied with. The submarine commander also de manded that the vessel's $1,000,000 cargo of gasoline be thrown over board, saying he would give Captain Mulcoy until the next morning to comply. Four barrels of cylinder oil were sent to the submarine and the Westwego proceeded. She saw no more of the submarine.
