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.

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.

blind piles have yielded to Doan's
