j Americans Sang, Whistled and Cheer- Maybe German Submarines Destroyed
ed as They Raided German
Trenches.
With the American Army in Pic.
ardy, June 6. The Americans sang
and whistled "Yankee Doodle" and
cheered as they went over the top to
day in the Chateau Thierry sector. ,
They made their way swiftly through
the German dead that lay strewn in
No Man's Land.
In addition to prisoners the Ameri
cans captured ten machine guns. Ger- I
man prisoners said they had not been
fed for four days owing to the deadly
fire from the French and American,
guns which prevented the bringing!
up of supplies. These Germans were
without helmets. They were tired of '
the war. They had been told that the i
.oriusn opposed them as their com
manders were afraid to let them know
that it was the Americans."
The Germans were cleared out of
Veuilly wood also by the Americans,
whose guns were thundering against
the enemy this evening. The fiercest
fighting was in progress at last re
ports near Torcy, which lies about 2
1-2 miles east of Veuilly.
The French attack this morning was
to straighten out the American line
and it was a brilliant performance. In
this they were assisted by the Ameri
can forces. American infantry clean
ed out one group of 35 Uhlans who
were mounted.
"Don't let one escape," shouted a
big American. All but one was kill
ed; he was captured.
The Americans advanced in a solid
phalanx their strong determined faces
and great physique an inspiration to
their gallant French comrades who
now regard them with brotherly af-
iecuon.
On Tuesdav the Amerifsns fnrwl n
Saxon division; on Wednesday a guard'
division; today a crack Prussian divis-;
ion and also a battalion of famous)
jaeger sharpshooters. The Americans 1
caught one scouting party of eight!
sharpshooters and killed them all. I
Soon after the attack this morning1
the Americans carried Hill 142 about!
two thirds of a mile south of Torcy;
the highest point in this vicinity and
swept on and stopped at the foot in a !
wheat field on the other side from!
where they raked the Germans with
machine guns. One entire enemy ma
chine gun company was almost anni
hilated. The Germans had donned French
uniforms but the Americans, fore
warned, poured voile vs of fire into
them. One German soldier had 32
wounds. Among those captured wer2
32 officers.
or Captured the Missing Cyclops.
Did the German submarines which
raided American shipping off the Jer
sey coast destroy the missing coliier
Cyclops, or did they capture her it
sea, put aboard a prize crew and serd
her to Germany?
Out of the mysterious disappear
ance of the American collier, now
missing three months, this question
has been raised by the passing re
mark of one of the submarine com
manders to Captain Lowry of fne
steamer Texel, that the U-boats hod
been on the American side of the At.
h ntic for two months
The statement nf iho. TTK
- uwui win-
nu-nder tnat he has been in American
waters for two months adds to the
theory of those who have maintained
that there is a submarine base on
this side. The submarine could not
otherwise hope to remain away from
home ports for so long at a time.
Interviews with the commander of
the U-boat that sank the sugar lad
en steamship Texel convinced Captain
Lowry of the latter that his ship was
attacked by a monster submarine of
the latest type.
Talks were had with twplw -f ha
6 men landed near the Atlantic City
hghthouse Tuesday night. Ten of them
declarpd the attacking boat was at
least 300 feet long while two sav it
was 250 feet in length.

THE FARMER AND WAR.
The Farmer a Warrior and He Can
Win the War.
Mr. Herbert Quick, a member of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, wl o is not
I slow to see a point, thus gives soni3
! reasons why the farmer is going to be
j a big factor in winning the war. Tie
says :
i "The farmer everywhere is v.ar-
rior when war is the only thing whi.di
! will make and keen him free either
! a warrior or a serf. He cannot rally
to the colors as quickly as the dwel
lers in the cities, because it takes
longer to send to the farms than to
I the cities the fiery cross of the call
to arms. It takes longer to call the
j farmers from the fields than the city
i dwellers from the shops, for many
I do not hear the first blast of the
j trumpet, and others do not at firt
; understand its meaning; they have net
had the time to talk it over with t '..eir
I acquaintances or. street corners, in
j stores, on cars, in clubs, and at other
j gatherings, and instead of reading
! half a dozen extras a day the farmer
1 may read weekly papers instead of
dailies ana must nave more time m
a certain emergency to make up his
mind."
Mr. Quick has great faith in the
farmers' ability to win the war. He
says: the tarmers ot this country
could carry the war to a victorious
conclusion, even if all the other na
tions should quit. The rest will not
quit, but we could win it without them
if we had to do it. The farmers of the
United States could whip Germany
with guns, with the products of their
farms, with their money. Every farm
er in the United States must remem
ber that the United States has a first
mortgage on every cent that he has.
The spare cent in his pocket should
bo devoted to the war. This is the
crucial year of the war. Our soldiers
are at the front, hundreds of thou
sands of them in the trenches and
millions more ready to go. The while
burden of carrying on cur part of the
war and aiding our sister nations n
arms rests on the United States
Treasury. If the Treasury fails, Ger
many wins."

"Dear Sir:
"Replying to your letter of the 31st
ult., in regard to the registrant who
was deferred on agricultural grounds
and now wants to go with the Emer
gency Fleet corporation, I have to
advise that he should not be allowed
to do so. This is a ruse which is be
ing adopted by registrants all over
the State in an effort to evade mill

Anti-German Demonstrations in
Porto Rico.
Angered by the news of the sinking
of the Porto Rican liner Carolina by
a German submarine, an anti-German
demonstration broke out in Ponce,
Porto Rico, on the night of June 5.
Numerous houses occupied by Ger
mans were stoned and much feeling
exists against Germans or persons
who have expressed pro-German sen
timents or who have attempted to
justify the sinking of the Carolina.
The feeling runs particularly high,
states a dispatch of the 6th from S in
Juan, against Spaniards of suppos d
German sympathies. Attorney Gen
eral Kern has notified the officials
in the islands to take energetic action
against all persons whose utterances
are considered out of line with the
sentiments of the allied countries.

"ihe Americans have been pressing
tne Germans so hard that the enemy
has been forced to throw three new
divisions of his best troops into the
line during the last three leys.

The peanut is one of the most eco
nomical plants in food and feed pro
duction, states Director B. W. Kilgore
of the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. The United States Food Ad
ministration has found that almost the
entire product of the plant can be
used for food or feed. The vines
yield a nutritious hay for feediag live
stock. Peanut oil .obtained by crush
ing the nuts, is excellent for table
use, in cooking and in the making of
lard substitutes. For use in prepar
ing salads, a virgin peanut oil rivals
olive oil, which is now difficult to
! secure.
Crude peanut cake is a valuable
livestock feed. Peanut butter, one of
the most familiar "goober" products
for human use, is secured by crush
ing the roasted nut and allowing the
oil to remain with it. An important
war-time development is the manufac
ture of peanut flour from cake se
cured by a cold-pressing method. A
ton of fresh nuts yields about 1,000
pounds cf this flour.
Years ago, when people were bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed to dc
its work or the stomach was out oi
condition, calomel was the standby.
By and by the users of calomel found
that the "after effects" of taking the
drug were as bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which it was
taken.
Dr. Thacher, in seeking a medicine
to take the place of calomel one that
would do all the good that calomel
would do, and yet leave none of its evil
effects perfected Dr. Thacher's Liver &
Blood Syrup. This was in lboz, ana
each year since has added to the confi
dence of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga,
ienrj., tried calomel. She was suner
ing with a. very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried Dr. Thach
er's Liver & Blood Syrup. She felt
better after taking three doses and she
soon got entirely well. "I think Dr.
Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup is a
wonderful medicine," she said, "and I
am very thankful I tried it."
For nearly three quarters of a century
this sterling preparation has been an
"old stand-by" in thousands of homes
In treating rheumatism, dyspepsia, in
digestion and other stomach and liver
complaints. It is a powerful tonic and
blood purifier and can be used with
the utmost confidence.
