WAR SPEEDS UP Wo Port in World as Well Equip ped as New York to Han dle Work. SAVING IN TIME IS SHOWN High Speed Coal Dumpers and Light ers 8implify Work 10,000 Toni Can Be Loaded in Six teen Hours. New York. War has speeded up coaling of ships In the port of New York until no other port In the world at the present time is as well equip ped to handle this Important task. So fast has become the coaling ot big vessels that enormous liners like the Imperntor can have their bunkers filled to their capacity of 10,000 tons in 18 hours. The reason for the increased speed is largely high-speed coal dumpers and fuel lighters. Each one of the latter Is able to give a ship 1,000 tons of coal In eight hours, an achieve ment due mainly to special coal ele vating machinery. But ships requiring 1,000 tons or less are In the big majority, whether transatlantic or coastwise trade Is considered. And It is not essential that for such ships there should be a loading device separate from the coal barges to enable a continuous stream of barges to ply to and from coal dumping stations. In a Single Day. For the average vessel a total of 800 tons Is usually sufficient, and this means that a ship of this sort may discharge a cargo and take on a new one all In the course of a single day. With the adoption of the modern lighter it is an easy matter to load coal while the cargo is being unload ed and a new one taken on. One mod ern high-speed lighter can coal three such ships in an eight-hour day. This development of modern light ers is equalled by better facilities for transferring coal from cars to barges. Huge steel dumping machines now take up a 50-ton car bodily, elevate it and empty its contents into the barge MAKES CLEVER DEFENSE mem Mrs. Helen Hill Weed, daughter of the Connecticut congressman, who by her clever defense of herself and her twelve sister-suffragettes has won the admiration of the court and all mem bers of the bar who followed with in terest their trial for "obstructing the traffic" in front of the White House recently. This ardent suffragist took upon her self the duties of counsel and won great favor with the lawyers by her skillful cross-examinations. Mrs. Weed never studied law in her life but she certainly made things hum some in the Washington courtroom. Despite her strong defense, the suf fragists were adjudged guilty and fined $25 apiece. Two of the ladles paid, the other eleven electing to serve three days in jail the alternative. Mrs. Weed was one of the eleven to choose Jail. Upon their release they were roy ally feted by the women's party la the capital. V :v;::v:::v::::x::::::'':;:-:-; --:;:v!?!!:::::,5f iimmmmmmmmmmm tLX It- l , .

These machines have a capacity of 0,000 tons each a day. Saving of time to the shipowner here is shown by comparison with Cardiff, the English port where the largest tonnage of English coal is loaded for export. In loading a ves sel, for example, the English shipper uses a railroad car of ten or twelve tons, while the American uses one of fifty to ninety tons cnpaclty, so that the Cardiff docks must discharge from five to ten carloads to every one dis charged in New York in order to main tain the same speed. Carried by Steel Colliers. Steel colliers ply between Boston and Hampton Eoads, a distance of 600 miles. Each one of these ships is capa ble of making a round trip every week and transporting 850,000 tons of coal a year. A vessel of the same tonnage, however, carrying a cargo of coal from arain to a port 600 miles away would take a week at Cardiff to load Its cargo and another week et its des tination to dlschanre It. Thus New York laden ships can make three trips to one ror a Cardiff laden vessel. Such things as these are what nlni-on New York as the greatest port in the world and makes American coal op erators feel that there is a great op portunity for exporting American coal. Five different companies within re cent months have established fleets of specially deslsned carriers on the theory that with our tremendous coal Buppiy ana superior port facilities It SUBMARINES RAID Blow Up Their Boats in Waters Around the Emerald Isle. THREATEN COAST VILLAGES To Remark, "We Thought You Liked the Irish," They Retort, "Ah, You Don't Know Us Yet" To Cut Food Supply. Sklbbereen, County Cork. German submarines have been actively en gaged In the destruction of the Irish fishing fleets" In the waters around these coasts. Of course it is impossi ble to designate here the exact local ities where or the dates when the Prus sian pirates did their cowardly work. Bnt their purpose Is plain to all the world to cut off part of Ireland's and England's food supply, for mackerel teem In these waters. The submarines were- busy many miles outside from Kenmare In Kerry to Howth on Dublin bay. Many fish ing craft are at the bottom of the aea, and the men who owned them and the fishermen who worked on them are ruined financially. Affixed Bombs on Boats. sOn a certain evening about seven o'clock the fishing fleet put out from Baltimore, on Baltimore bay, near Sklbbereen. The first numbered about eighty boats of all classes and em braced several boats from Arklow, County Wlcklow. A few hours after the fleet set out a German U-boat of the latest pattern, about 300 feet In length, appeared. The submarine did not waste torpedoes or shells on the defenseless fishing boats; the crew simply placed bombs on 13 of them and so destroyed thein. Only three minutes were allowed the hapless fishermen to get Into their small boats ; then all their belongings, which in many cases Included con siderable sums of money, were sent to the bottom. Had it not been for the appearance of a British patrol, which caused the submarine to submerge at once, it is certain that all the fleet would have been destroyed. Those that escaped returned to port with an abundance of fish, but are not ventur ing out again, so that in one night the fishing fleet of Bal'.imore has been put out of action by the Germane, which means a loss of many thousand GRADUATED 1 ft'iK '.41 of time, because of wur conditions. will only be a question of time before America is shipping her coal to all parts of the globe. ABOUT 5,000,000 DEAD IN BATTLING ARMIES New York. From a careful study of what has been made public regarding casualties in the three years of war, it appears that about 5,000,000 combatants have lost their lives and about 5,000,000 have been killed, cap tured, reported missing or so badly wounded that they can not return to the front. This takes no account of the millions of slightly wounded men.

IRISH FISHERMEN of pounds to the poor fishermen and their families. Among the fishing boats sunk were two fine motorboats belonging to the Baltimore Piscatorial schools, a motorboat the property of John Beamish, Sklbbereen, and two motorboats owned by Mr. Cottrell, Baltimore, worth several hundred pounds each. The pirates did not spare even the smallest craft, for they bombed two open boats. With a great hammer they smashed to bits the engine of a little bont belonging to John Dono van of Castletownshend and left it to drift about. No lives were lost, but for that the Huns deserve no thanks, for they re fused the fishermen permission to take oars Into their punts. One Cape Clear man, resenting this refusal, ventured to remark to the cap tain of the submarine: "I thought ye Germans would do nothing to the Irish that ye liked us?" "Ah, my dear fellow, you don't know the Germans yet," was the command er's curt reply, The Germans Intimated that they had sunk all the Kinsale fishing boats as they had come along to Baltimore, and that off Dunmore they had de stroyed the Waterford fishing fleet They made no secret of the fact, but on the contrary boasted about It and declared that they would have every Irish fishing boat at the bottom of the sea before p month. Furthermore one of the submarine crew said they Intended shelling villages on this coast shortly. "It'e All Up Now." Consternation and despair have seized our unfortunate flsherfolk. "It is all up now, sir," said a Balti- more skipper, "when they are sinking our fishing boats." When I told him I would expose the Huns' deviltry he juyuumy e-icituujeu , "Oh, then, do, sir I Tell nil America the Germans are the worst savages on earth, and that this is their most cowardly blow yet, and that we hope and trust that with the aid of our klth and kin over there the archfiends iwlll soon be swept from the face of the earth." The investment in the electrical in dustries of tills country is equal to the assessed valuation of real property and Improvement in Greater New Torfc HOPS REACH 15 CENTS Crop Estimates in Oregon and Wash ington Are Lowered Red Spider Causes Damage in Oregon. Portland The hop market is climb ing fast. Only a few weeks ago buy ers would not consider new hops at any price. Now contracts are strong; at 11 cents. Five hundred bales of 1917 Yakimas were sold on contract at 15 cents, and the same price was paid for 1000 bales of Mendocinos and Sonomas, Buyers were freely offering 15 in both the California districts. The market is quoted at 15 cents and it is doubtful whether any hops could be bought at that price. The Pacific Coast crop is not looking good. Until recently it was thought the reduced acreage in Oregon would produce 40,000 bales. Now some of the dealers believe it will not go over 30,000 or 85,000 bales. In addition to the bad effects of the prolonged dry spell and the poor cultivation, due to the labor shortage, the red spider is causing damage in many sections. Washington will not produce over 20,000 bales of hops this year, accord ing to authorities in that state. The total United States crop may be under 150,000 bales, while a conservative es timate of the supply needed by brew ers is 185,000 baleB. NO FAILURE; BUT SHORTAGE Inland Empire Crops In Fair Condi- tion, Declare Investigators. Spokane D. W. Twohy, president of the Old National bank, accompanied by J. K. McCornack, manager of the Union Securities company, and Thomas P. Wren, president of the Northwest Live Stock association, have returned from the PalouBe, Lewiston, Camas prairie and the Nez Perce prairie sec tions. Speaking of conditions in these territories Mr. Twohy said: "There will be less than half of last year s crop and it will bring 75 per cent of the money received last year. I arrived at this conclusion after con frences with many of the farmers and bankers of the sections we visited, also after going into a great many of the grain fields and having them ex amined, analyzed and tested by Mr. Wren and Mr. McCornack, who are both good farmers. "This year brings out the danger of the farmer attempting to handle too much land or to overwork his farm. The best results are shown by the pru dent farmer who took good care of his land and worked it carefully. "Our conclusion is that there is no crop failure, but a shrinkage in the yield, showing that the land of the In land Empire will, even under adverse circumstances, produce a reasonable crop.
