BRITISH OFFICERS FIND MEANS TO FIGHT U-BOATS Washington, Oct. 1.?Greit Bri"tain has discovered and put into effective operation means of combating submarines, which according to offi cial reports to the United States gov -ernment already have resulted in a loss estimated at between 50 and 70 -German submarines. The reports declare that the British admiralty I confidently believes it has crushed j 1 j fhe uerman unaersea campu fn. .New methods of offense r.nd deTense that may revolutionize naval warfare have' been adopted, r?nd high British naval officers are of the opin- ; lion that unless the effectiveness of i 'the submarine is increased, it no longer will be a menace to commerce j.nd batle fleets. The British censorship has prextnted the disclosure of details concerning the developments. Within / the last three weeks, however, confidential reports to various government departments from representatives in European capitals of neutral as well as belligerent countries ha*e confirmed the British admiralty's view that an effective means of dealing' .with the submarine has been found. ^Dreadnought Still Mainslay. These reports are being closely scrutinized on account of the bearing they may have on the naval policy of I the United States. They reaffirm of- j * ficers of the navy in their conviction that the dreadnought still is the main- ' ' stay in warfare on sea. , According to the report^, destruc-[ tion or capture of 50 submftr.'res ac- j tually had been reported several, tv-eeks ago and it was regarded as pos -sable that the number might have reached 70. A dinner was given re-' ' cently, in London which, whUe not a formal state affair, was attended by high government officials in celebraJ.tion of the destruction of the 50th underwater enemy. Reports of the dinner apparently i nvere suppressed by the cencor. While the greatest secrecy is "thrown around the means employed - TT_:i?j pi.4. i i? , i.; I iiitr uiiitcu ou&tca nil uimauiuii 'concerning the principal methods. A submarine telephone has been developed by which it is possible to detect the approach of a submarine from observation boats or stations planted off shore connected with' joints in the mainland. Huge Nets Used. For capturing craft whose presence has not been detected or even susrectfed, the government's reports describe how huge nets have been .stretched across the channels and in 1 open waters near steamship lanes or in the vicinity of warships nets suspended between floats have been : spread broadcast. Armed patrol boats watch and when the floats disappear inneath the water, showing that submarine has become entangled, the patrols congregate at the place and when the victim comes to the surface it inevitably must to disentangle it?elf, it is destroyed or cap'ured. | A special tvpe of mine ?lso has been devised which has be-;n very .successful. n ... :? j. lie uciiuai: iiicuiuua ui submarines with oil and provisions either at sea or from concealeJ places aiong the coasts of the British isles, have been ferreted out and disposed of. This compels the boats to return to their bases at more frequent intervals and leaves them only a comparatively short time for effective duty. Destroyers, the reports declare, be come expert in the game of submarine hunting, and armed traw?r-rs also have proved effective. The New Terror. But the greatest single factor, it is .-aid, has been a newly built fleet of fiSKffiifiHWffifilHfiWaSfi! Yo I Of Finding Here th ' Qualii A J Markes the selection give assurance of go Men's, Lac s Work and Dress Slio PO LI/ small seagoing motor boats, armed j with one or two three-inch guns and ; possessing high speed. Those boats literally swarm over suspected ex-'v panses of the water and cover almost every mile of the channels of com- * merce adjacent to Great Britain. As ^ a submarine must rise frequently to renew its air supply and recharge the storage bateries by which it is . pro- j. polled when submerged, one in the ^ territory coverd by the scouts is al- j( most certain to be eventually seen s and destroyed. These small boats s have been built in large numbers in ,t England and it is reported that about v 500 are being constructed in the f United States and Canada to be ship- ^ ped in sections to Great Britain. |p Aeroplanes are described as ex- j teedingly useful in locating and fol- ^ lowing the trail of submarine-?. Thty can detect one 100 feet beneath the ^ surface. It is the habit, the reports say, of the German submarines to ^ slip into favorable position-; alonfc ^ the steamer lanes and lie on'the bot- -c torn for long periods rising occasionally to the surface for observation n anH ntVipr nil rnnsps. ' ' 1 t] As the batteries are not exhnjsteJ Q1 by this method, only a very brief stay j. on the surface is necessary to renew -"he air supply and take a hurried ot?- ^ servation.* Undersea boats adopting these tactics have been the most Juficult to catch. Here the aer^rJane ^ has shown its greatest usefulness as the comparatively shallow water along much of the British coast c; i:lakes it possible for the leroplane operators to see the ships lying on the bottom. y The aeroplane notes the position ^ and notifies nparpst rfpis'.vnvpr or - -J p patrol boat which speeds to the spot y and waits for the submarine to rise. ^ T PREPARE APPLES d IN MANY WAYS. v, si Apples served raw should be ripe. f. If they have come from the market v they should be washed before being tl served. n Pared and sliced apples may be j: kept from discoloring by putting d them into a salt solution; one level fj tablespoonful of salt to three pints d of cold water, or lemon juice, if it l be. used in a salad. Fine-flavored, fresh apples are not ji improved in cooking by the use of c< cinnamon or other condiment. tl Apples picked before they are ripe n r.ut of full size, make excellent pies, t] sauce, or "bird nests." The skins are e tender and need not be removed. p To make "bird nests", fill a pie tl tin which has perpendicular sides r with apples cored and cut into o eighths. Add a very little waW. cover p with a biscuit crust, and bake 25 q minutes, or until the apples are ten- tl der. When baked turn the crust side p down on a larger platter, sprinkle c w ith sugar, and serve with cream. s For apple sauce, prepare apples as o ior bird nests, place in an acid-proof t sauce pan with a small amount of b v ater and cook until tender but not f mushy. Add small amount of sugar, OAnfirino fViA AAAL'IM/* ? wic vuuniug 1U1 <X lUlIXUl/t: Ui ?> two, and then remove and allow to s cool. d If apples are lumpy or otherwise n unattractive after being cooked, put 1J them through the potato ricer. 1' It adds somewhat to the d'gestibil- K ity of the sauce by beating with an I igg beater just before serving. v Cook apples as quickly as you can J i* you want them white, and as slow- i: lv as possible if you want them jel- a Led. o , Sugar added at the last will be a sweeter, for during cooking ?. portion of the cane sugar is converted into a F less sweet form of sugar. r e J.IEECIELELCLCLELELCIELCIEI ;1^ MUUMMU Ul J.I U UUL u Ca ie Kind of Clothes You j Is not paten ri7 as an "houo ^ y iuent are la -2~ all.

Washington, Oct. 2.?Sow winter ^heat after the Hessian fly has disppeared and save next year's crop 10m the ravages of the pest, say he Department of Agriculture's exerts. This advice may still be aplied during the present month in he great wheat- belt lying Letween lie thiry-fifth and forty-first paral;1? of latitude. If the fly has been tarved out by burning or disking all tubble and ruined wheat fie^s, and 11 volunteer wheat has been plowed nder or otherwise destroyed, an inestation the following year may be revented by sowing after the aproximate fly-free date. The Hessian fly of the second or all generation is likely to infejit all olunteer wheat and all wheat sown efore the fly-free date. "Flaxeeds" of the second generation relain on the fall-sown wheat plants ill the following April, when adults ;sue and produce young which bein another season of infestation, 'he adult flies of^the second generaicn emerge from the "flaxseed" tage from the middle of August to ;te October, according to the lati,ide. The female fly does not live eyond 5 or 6 days, and thus it is ?at late sowing, after the flies have trgely disappeared, is the mast pracical and effective method employed 3 control this pest. According to experimental swings arried on for a series of years, the pproximate dates to sow winter fheat to avoid the Hessian fly during ears of normal rainfall, have been etermiried. There are some oints with regard to thes^ dates hich all farmers within fly infested istricts must take into account, hey should be familiar with the conditions of their own localities, as to reather, soil, and latitude. They t-.ould also be familiar with their own elds. Dry weather retard:; the de elopment of the ny anci also tnat 01 ie most important of its natural eneiies, precisely as it retards the comup of wheat if it be sown in very ry soil and without sufficient rain;.ll. There is also an approximate ifference of about one day to each GO feet of elevation. There is, of course, a serious obsction to thfe late sowing method to ontrol the Hessian fly, and that is ie danger that the plants will not lake sufficient growth to withstand ie winter. This objection, howver, may be largely overcome by roper cultural methods. Much of be delay in the growth of late-sown lants in the fall can be eliminated y paying close attention to the prearartion of the soil and to the uality of the seed. The be3t advice hat can be given is to begin the prearation of the field in the fall preisely as though it was expected to ow at a very early date, but instead f sowing use the disk harrow and he roller, even after it appears to ie a waste of labor to till the field urther. When a finely pulverized, compact ced bed has been secured, the seed hould be selected, and this should be lone with the point in view that un laturally shriveled or otherwise imlerfect kernels can not produce ealthy wheat plants. When the ernel sprouts it at once sor.ds firous roots down into the soil from hich to draw nourishment ior the oung plant, and if little or no nourshment is secured the wheat plants re put into somewhat the condition f stunted calves, pigs, or other farm nimals which are underfed.

The farmer, then, should begin the preparation of his soil with the object of delaying the sowing of wheat and afterwards of pushing the growth of the plant to the utmost ifn' til the beginning of the cold weather. | ? FIVE LOCOMOTIVES A DAY. ; i ! 12,900 Men Helping- In a Rush Order From Runtia. < \ The Baldwin Locomotive Works I is building 250 locomotives under i rush orders for the Russian GovernI ment, according to an announcement i made last night by Alba B. Johnson, 'president of the company. j Turning them out at the rate of j five a day, the company already has i finished 13a. and exnectK to fill the i balance of the order in advance of the time limit set by the Russian Government which was the last day of October. ' The company is breaking all records under the pressun? fov tforeign contracts. Where 4,800' men were employed a few months ago, the Baldwin pay roll has jumped to 12,900 men. Four steam:?hi:ps now are loading railway rolling stock from I Philadelphia's "giant industry for "Vladivostok and nine more nre due at the ports of New Yorktand Philadelphia to take on Baldwin goods. The prosperity boom here was revealed in all its details through an announcement made in Washington last night by Secretary Reafield of the Department of 'Commerce, who said he understood -Baldwin's was building 135 locomotives for the Kussian Government. When, Mr. Johnson heard ^ Mr. Redfield's statement he elaborated fcr The1 Public Ledger on the work row being done at the plant, and told of the general activities of thy American Locomotive Company^ with which the Baldwin concern is identified. The Baldwin Works is not the only American concern to profit by this huge Russian order. The original order by Russia, which reached this country at th? end of last June, vas for 400 freight locomotives of the latest type and 17,000 freight 'cars. The Baldwin plant received an order for 250 ofl the 400, the American Locomotive Works an order for 100, and the Canadian Locomotive Works was asked to build | the remaining 50.
