BULLETIN.
Washington, Aug. 13. The steamer
Henry S. Kellogg hat been torpedoed
by a German submarine off the New
Jersey coast, according to a report
received late tonight by the Navy de
partment No details were available,
but it was presumed the steamer was
still afloat. '
J - By Associated Press.
Boston, Aug. 13. Reports by sur?
, vivors of fishing vessels sunk off the
New England coast by a German sub
marine indicate today that the enemy
cratt.had cot been. out as long as
. gome of its officers had endeavored to
make it appear. The submarine is
, painted white. Two of the fishing
. fleet captains agreed that the hull hid
been painted very recently and they
said, that it did not seem that the
U-boat could have been in American
. waters as far back as May. ;
The vessel was described as -300
v feet in length with'two guns, 6-pound-
ers, mounted tore and aft. ' purvivors
said that there were at least 100 in
- the crew and that the captain of the
pirate crew, appeared more Spanish
-than uerman, ,
In several cases the commander
of the U-b-4old the American of
ficers. wltf, vessels were sunk thatl
ins ciuij- srmuiua w i,vuy nines,
which v.jdla give him many miles
to TSpare beyond a voyage from
German port to- this side and return.
AH vessels destroyed were first
searched and every gallon of oil that
might he of use on the U-boat was
' taken.
Row 180 Miles in Dories,
Nantucket. Mass., Aug. 13. The
crew of six men of the fishing schoon
er cruiser who were thought tor have
lost their lives when their craft was
; sunk by a German -submarine in
George's Banks Saturday afternoon
were brought in here today. . They
rowed for -180 miler' before they
were rescued off Great Round Shoal
lightship, six miles off this island, v
Outruns Submarine.
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 13. Run-
: ning at top speed, an American
steamer outdistanced a German
U-boat off Fire Island yesterday
morning and escaped the fate of the
Norwegian steamship Sommerstad,
which was sunk off that point about
four hours later. Officers of the
X steamer which reached fhis port to
tii'giit said that the undersea craft was
coming towards them when she was
sighted. The steamer's engines were
pushed to the limit, they said, and
after a short while the U-boat gave
up the chase. , . s
v ' Cabinet Discusses Raids.
Washington, t Aug. 13. Germanl
submarine raids in American waters
were understood to have been dis
cussed today at an unusually pro
longed session of the cabinet, but if
any new plans for combatting this
menace were formulated it was not
disclosed, , .
The only report of the activities of
the raiders reaching the Navy de
: partment during the day told of the
, destruction of the Norwegian
' steamer," Sommerstad, 25 miles south
east of Fire Island, N. Y. Captain
Jlansen and his crew of 30 men were
landed by a naval patrol boat which
found them at sea in small boats' 10
0. hours after the steamer went down.
Destruction of the Sommerstad by
. astorpedo which passed. under the
ship's bow and later circled and
rtruck the vessel amidships gave rise
:o a suggestion that the torpedo was
controlled by radio on the submarine,
but this was ridiculed by naval ex
perts. They explained that the
course of a torpedo 4s regulated by
the gyroscope, which carr be so set
before . discharge that tha weapon
will describe a circle. 1 his has been
done time and again during torpedo
practice in the American navy so as
to return the weapon to the ship dis
charging it, and it has not been an
uncommon thing for torpedoes fired
by German submarines to take similar
courses.
With the torpedo's steering gear
set so the weapon will run in a circle
it becomes almost doubly effective
naval officers explained, for if it
misses the object when speeding on
its outward course, the possibility re
mains that it will strike after it turns
about, a possibility that is increased
in case the ship attacked goes full
zpeed ahead as the Sommerstad did.
GERMANS IN POCKET
FIGHT DESPERATELY
(Contlnncd from Tug Om.)
reinforcements and large numbers
guns have been brought up by the
enemy to aid him in his endeavors to
hold the line, which is essential to the
safety of the German armies now in
the pocket described by the Somme
on the north and east and the Oise
on the south.
, I he uerman j are not merely on
the defensive. At salient points here
and there they are delivering violent
counter attacks against the allies and
are also bombarding fiercely the- rear
areas. " "
, Chaulnes Under Heavy Fire.
Notwithstanding the enemy's ef
forts. Chaulnes is receiving a mighty
Visitation of shells from the allied
guns, and Koye has been so en
croached upon that it is now under
a heavy cross fire from both the north
and south and seemingly both towns
ultimately must be evacuated. An ad
ded danger to Roye is the fact that
the French are knockintr at the door
of Lassigny, about seven miles to the
south, and also are pressing forward
eastward toward Noyon in a wedge
driving maneuver which not onlv is
outflanking Roye but bringing Noy-
on oauy nearer to tne range ot tne
big guns. v
Unofficial reports say the Ger
mans, fearing capture in the pocket
between Roye and the pise, already
are retreating along the Oise valley
toward Noyon, and if ths statements
should prove true it is not unlikely
that the entire German battle line
to the north will give wav in unison
and that even there mav be a re
adjustment of the enemy front from
soissons to Kheims.
, Attack Begun to North.
P ar to the north from Ynrei in
Albert there has been .considerable
activity ' on the Dart of the British
and French forces against the Ger
mans. Ihe latest German commu
nication, asserts that all the attacks
were repulsed. .-.
On the Vesle river the Germans
n attacks against Fismette. which is
held by the Americans , and French.
are saia to nave driven the allies to
the southern bank of the river. A
counter attack resulted in the reoc-
cupation of the village.
l ne Uccho-Movaks in Russia, who
are opposing the Bolshevik element,
nave Deen formally recognised by
Great Britain as an allied nation and
their armies as an allied force waging
war against me ieutontc allies.

London, Aug. 13. -The British gor-

formally recognizing the Czecho

Czecho-Slovak armies as an allied
force - regularly waging warfare
against the central powers
' British trooos landed at Vladivo

Washington. Ausr. 13. Recognition
by the British government of the
Czecho-SIovaks as an independent al
lied nation arrayed against the central
powers follows similar action by Italy
and France. x
It-is recalled . thalt only recently
Secretary Lansing in a statement ex
pressed the deep sympathy with which'
this government views the national
aspirations of Czecho-SIovaks and
other oppressed peoples of the Aus-
tro-riupganan empire.'
The Czecho-SIovaks are regarded
as the most powerful of the disaffect
ed peoples in Austria-Hungarjtr They
inhabit a long stretch of territory oh
the southern boundary of Germany
and their representatives in the en
tente capitals have contended that
establishment of an independent
Lzecho-blovak . nation after ihe
war would set up a barrier between
Germany and Austria, and dissipate
the pan-German dream of an open
roaa irom .Berlin to Bagdad.

est holocaust the world has ever

Mr. Morris continuing, we are
taking a step today that is fraught
with untold danger. We are going
into war upon the command of gold.
We are going to risk the sacrificing
of millions of our countrymen's lives
in order that our countrymen may
eoinlheir life blood into money.-And
even if we do not cross the Atlantic
and go into the trenches, we are go
ing to pile up a debt that the toiling
masses' that shall come many gener
ations after us will have to pay.' Un
born millions will bend their backs
in order- to pay for the terrible step
that we are about Jo take. We are
about to do the bidding of wealth's
terrible mandate. By our act we will
make millions of our countrymen suf
fer, and the consequences of it may
well be that millions of our brethren
must shed their lifeblood, millions of
broken-hearted women must weep,,
minions ot children must surfer with
cold, and millions of babes must die
from hunger, and all because we want
to preserve the commercial right of
American citizens to deliver munitions
of war to belligerent nations.
"I know that I am powerless to
stop, it. I know that this war mad
ness has taken possession of the
financial and political powers of our
country. I know that nothing I can
say will stay the blow that is soon to
fall.. I feel that we are committing a
sin against humanity, and against our
countrymen. I would like to sav to
this war god, 'You shall not eoin into
gold the lifeblood of my brethren.1
I would like to prevent this terrible
castastrophe fr.om falling upon my
people, l would be willing to sur
render my own life if 1 could cause
this cup to pass. I charge no man
here with a wrong motive, but it
seems to me that, this war craze has

we might delay our action until rea

Rebuking Mr. Norris on the soot,
Senator. Reedof Missouri, said: "It
has been no- part of my purpose to
participate in this debate, but a state
ment or series of statements made by
the senator from Nebraska. Mr. Nor
ris, seem to me to demand instant re
pudiation. I need not say to that
senator or to the members of this
body that I hold the senator from Ne
braska in the very highest personal
regard, and esteem, and because of
that regard and esteem I shall not
permit myself to characterize his
speech as I believe it ought tto be
characterized. There are men in this
world of high intelligence who be
come so obsessed by certain ideas
that they permit them to color all oth
er objects coming within theif men
tal vision, me senator from Nebras
ka, I fear, is so obsessed with a fear
of money and of profits and of for
tunes' that all that it is necessary to
suggest is that some wealthy concern
may have an interest, remote. . con
tingent, or direct, in tne subject mat
ter, under consideration in order to
confuse his mental vision. So we find
the senator here today reading a let
ter which he says, comet from some
unnamed Wall street man. 1 he let
ter purports to be nothing save t
business man's views as to the busi
ness outcome in the event of possible
hostilities. - Because of tnat letter the
senator makes the statements which
I propose to challenge. He said:
"We are taking a step today that
is fraught with untold danger. We
are going into war upon the com
mand of gold. We are going to run
the risk of sacrificing millions of
our countrymen s lives in order that
other countrymen may coin their
lifeblood into money."
Mr. President, that is an indictment
of the president of the United States.
That is an indictment of the congress
of the United States. That ia an in-
dictraent of the American people.
That is an indictment of the truth,
and it is not the truth. The senatoi
continues:" .
"By our act we will make millions
of our countrymen suffer, arid the
t consequences of it may well be that
millions of our brethren must shed
their lifeblood, millions of broken
hearted women must weep, millions
of children must suffer with cold,
and millions of babes must die from
hunger, and all because we want to
, preserve the commercial right of
American citizens to deliver muni
tions of war to belligerent natious."
"Mr. President, that is another in;
dicttnent of the president of the
United States, of the congress of the
United States, of the American peo
ple, and of truth and fact The' sen
ator continues:
"I know that I am powerless to
stop it I know that this war mad
ness has taken possession of the
financial and political powers of our
country." " , a
And he continues: ,
"I would like to say to this war
god, You shall not coin into gold
the lifeblood of my bretnren.' " .
, Then he adds: : -
"I feel we are about to put the
dollar mark upon the -American"
flag.". - .. ..
"All, Mr. President. I am sorrv from
my heart that such a statement should
have been made at this time by an
American citizen in the highest body
of the American congress. If that be
not giving aid and comfort to - the
enemy en the very eve of the opening
of hostilities, then I do not know i
what would bring comfort to the heart
of a Hapsburg or a Hohenzollern. If
that be not treason it takes on a
character and guise that is so near
to treason that the enemies of Amer
ica will gain from it much consola
tion." '

'- Washington, Aug. 13. German and
Austrian prisoners operating with the

by the renegade Russian general, von
Taube, who at the beginning of the
war was removed from his Russian
command on account of his pro-German

Married Men Must All
Go Into Army, h Rule
.Made by Draft Boards
Married men with no children
must go to war, according to orders
received Tuesday at local draft
boards. v' , ....
This rule aoclies to all childless"
men,' Only a few exceptions will be
made, as the orders are explicit in
ruling that married men with no
children must be reclassified at once
and placed in Clasa 1 wherever there
are reasonable" sources of support
available for the wife. -
Draft board members say. that
til fact that a wife has never, be-
ore earned money will not be ac
cepted as an excuse if she la able-
bodied. In families where there are
no cWldren, only Invalid wires will
be a reason for deferred classifica
tion for the husband.

have begun the work of reclassifka-' !

20,000 acre? of deeded land adjoining the townsite of Lakeside Neb. On this leased
land there ' are located from thirty to forty lakes. Under the beds of most of these
lakes is found the Potash. .
Producing Potash- it really a mininsr oroDosition. Ton have first sot to rrostect
under the water of these lakes to find the location of the Potash' beds. ' When the Pot
ash is found, it is mined by sinking a large number of well points through the bottom
of the; lakes to the potash beds. ''These well points are then all connected together to"
the pumping system, which carries the Potash brine in solution by a pipe line to the f
reduction works. The process is, then simply -a matter of evaporation .by, the use" of !
immense boiler capacity to make steam to operate the large evaporators. . The water is
separated from the Potash by this process. The Potash is then run through the driers '
and from the driers to the grinders, to be put in merchantable condition for the market.
The drier capacity of the STANDARD POTASH-COMPANY consists of four 450-horse- .
power Babcock Wilcox boilers, a unit as large' as its takes to operate a. street, railway ,
company. The evaporator and driers are very large affairs and the plant as a whole
has tli e appearance of a large smelting plant. ,,
After about one year's work on the STAND ART) POTASH COMPANY ; plant it "
has now about completed its first 50-ton unit, and is expected 'to be under operation
early this coming October, ready to produce potash for the market. The foundation for '
the second 50-ton unit is now in and, as the boiler capacity is large enough for these .
two units, it will only take a short time to equip the second unit with evaporator and
driers. The STANDARD POTASH COMPANY will then have a complete 100-yton daily
capacity plant. v V '' '
