6 POTATO CROP IS NOW IN DANGER Lice Pest Is Sweeping Over the State and Causing Fears For the Yield State Zoologist J. Q. Sanders last night issued a warning that the men- i ace to the potato crop and to toma toes by aphid attack throughout the State is assuming alarming propor tions and that reports reaching the Department of Agriculture indicated j that in some sections whole fields of j late potatoes had been destroyed. I In many sections the early pota-! toes have become so heavily infested] with the little pink and green pests i that the leaves are all dead and this J means that the number of potatoes present in the ground at their present I eiae is the extent of the crop in the badly injured fields. The alarming increase of the aphicT is largely due to the unusually back ward and rainy season. The crop is seriously endangered in Illinois, Indi ana. Ohio. Kentucky. Maryland, Vir ginia and New Jersey. The lice are normally kept In check by natural enemies but many of these do not de velop at their maximum rate with cold, wet weather conditions prevail ing. Wherever the aphids are present In numbers potato and tomato grow ers are urged to spray immediately with Black Leaf 40 or kerosene emulsion. Effective spraying for aphid control depends upon the actual con tact of the spray with the lice which are on the underside of th leaves. Cover every leaf with spray on the under side. In order to save the SO,- #OO.OOO bushel crop predicted for this State, effective spraying must be done In all sections where lice are present j at once.

Zinn Writes of Air Fighting For France This was being written in the evening when the Boches came over on their way to bombard Epernay. ' There was a motor convoy passing jon the road, mi they tried to drop some bombs on them. They fell I quite near the house, and the good woman we are quartered with, came | up and made me put out the light. She thought the bombs were intend j ed for us. I was over yesterday and the day before getting a pnotographic "as semblage" of the destruction in the German trenches. They are being very thoroughly bombarded in pre paration for another attack. This morning 1 went again on about the same sort of mission, this time fo j find out how much repairing and re- I building they had done during the ] ight. Although we worked very low, all three trips were uneventful, j But coming back to-day we had mo > tor trouble, had to land on bad I ground, and smashed up. Albanel, ! the pilot, was slightly hurt, and I have a cracked rib and some bruises, but not at all serious. He short-cir cuited the magneto so the thing didn't take fire, which would have been a mess. It may be several days before we get a new machine.—By F. \V. Zinn in The American Boy. Attempt Made on the Life of United States Ambassador to Russia Copenhagen, July 20.—A myster ious attempt against the life of IX R. Francis, American ambassador to Petrograd, is reported.

JACKIES STICK TO THEIR GUNS IN SEA BATTLE U-Boat's Crew Admit Amer ican's Made Game Fight Against Odds Washington, July 20.—At 1 o'clock on the morning of June IS the Amer ican steamship Moreni was sailing I along the coast of Spain in an at i tempt to make an Italian port, when I t her engines broke down and she was | becalmed. Three hours later a Ger man submarine sighted her and opened fire. The armed crew under Chief Boatswain's Mate Andrew Cop assaki returned the fire, and for two hours a battle raged. | The Moreni was hit forty-five times. Her merchant crew sought to desert her while the naval jackies continued I the fight. Copassakl stood by his j guns until one of them was disabled j and the flames of the burning ship drove him and his men from the other. Then they took to the boats and were congratulated by the submarine com mander for having put up the gamest fight that ever had been made by the crew of an armed ship. Secretary Daniels made public the complete and verbatim s(ory of the official report made to the Navy De partment by Copassaki. It represents the most thrilling story that the American navy has staged in the pres ent war. and it probably will go down with the best legends of the service. It follows; "About 1 A. M. June 12, the engines stopped. I was awakened and asked the captain what was the trouble. He said something was wrong in engine room and engines had to be stopped. They remained stopped for about three-quarters of afi hour. V-Bout Kept Out of Range "We were attacked by a subma rine at 4.03 A. M. on June 12, 181". She was off quarter, about 9,000 yards away. She fired four or five shots be fore we located her. We swung around until our stern faced the sub marine. and returned the fire at range of about 7,000 yards. Submarine stayed about 8,000 to 9,000 yards away, and for that reason our shots fell short. We sent out a radio call for assistance. "After a half-hour fight we were hit j in the gasoline tank aft, and a Ire I started. It was reported to me that the ammunition aft was running low. Immediately I lined up the forward gun's crew with the merchant crew to pass ammunition from forward to aft. About an hour later fire broke out all over the ship, and It became im possible for the men to pass any more ammunition aft. When I saw such was the case, I happened to be abaft the mainmast, and I called for one of the gun's crew to go forward with me. I reached the bridge, being burned on the way. The man was unable to follow. About this time steering gear was shot away and we started to go around in circles. "Coming down off the bridge I saw the captain and the boatswain, who was holding the falls ready to lower the lifeboat. The captain said to come and get in the lifeboat, as it was starting to burn. I told him to wait. He said he would hold the boat as long as possible for me. Man Forward Gun "I then noticed two of the gun's crew in the lifeboat. I ordered them to get out and come with me. We went forward and manned the for ward gun, with which we fired four shots before the firing pin went out of commission. "When the submarine saw our fire was coming closer, she steamed full speed astern, so that we could not see her. Then, as we could fire no more, and as the captain called that the lifeboat was burning, we got into the boat. "Meanwhile, the engines of the ship had not been stopped and she was going around in circles, which she continued to do for about a half-hour after we left. "The lifeboat upset when it hit the water, and two of the merchant crew, were lost. We swam around until we were able to get to the capsized boat, turn it over and climb into it. "I found out afterward that soon after I went forward, during th. fight, the after gun's crew and merchant crew left In their boat as fire was be coming too hot and would have burned the boat. I also found that the first mate of the ship left much earlier before any of the other boats, with three men, leaving behind the men who were supposed to go in that boat. Germans Treated Wounded "The submarine called the boats alongside and congratulated us, shook hands with the captain, and tola us that it was the best fight they had ever seen any merchantman put up. He asked if there were any Englisn men in the boat. I told him no. "The Germans treated two men who had been wounded and returned to the other boats. The commander of the submarine said he would have towed us towards the beach but for the tact that we had called for assist ance. "The submarine then left us and commenced firing again into the Mo reni. She finally hit the Moreni's en glneroom. which stopped the engines. We then lost sight of the submarine. l "About an hour after the submarine left us we were picked up by the Spanish steamer Valbanera (about 8 A. M. June 12, 1917), who had received our call for assistance. The captain of the Valbanera told me we were then about seventeen miles off Cape de Palos, Spain. "Shortly after the submarine came up near Valbanera. Officers of ship got in small Boat and went over to the submarine. He returned to ship and submarine went around the ship, submarine crew cheering and Valba nera's crew also cheering, and then steamed away. "While on the Valbanera we were given every consideration—dry cloth ing, good food and good sleeping ac commodations. > "We were landed In Barcelona, Spain, at R A. M.. June 13, 1917. Re ported to the American consul on ar riving, who fitted crews with clothing. "During the fight, which lasted a little over two hours, we fired about 150 shots, but as the steering gear was shot away and the ship was going around in circles, we could get no range. m The submarine fired about 200 shots 'while we were on the Mo reni. of which about forty-five found their mark."

HJLRRISBURG TELEGRAPH American Explains Germans' Methods of Bagging 'Planes The Germans have arranged their guns in batteries; and when an enemy plane came within range, the first gun would throw three shells into tho air into rapid succession. These were so devised that they would explode at different eleva tions, liberating different colors in a smoke cloud. Usually one of these would be somewhere near the plane. Thus the Germans had three fixed altitudes in the air and from their smoke test they could instantly de termine the altitude of the plane. A second gun of the battery fires a big, high explosive shell, aimed as close to the aeroplane as possible. If It explodes close enough, It will wreck the machine; but the Ger mans do not really expect to get one even with the second shell. The ef fect of this explosion is to "cfud" the air. It creates air conditions which for a time make it Impossible to move in that vicinity. It is the third gun which gets him. Having ascertained the range with the first, and killed the air with the second, a big shrapnel shell Is di rected from the third gun. If the machine has been fairly caught by the high explosive shell, the six hun "The New Store's Sale--Is The REAL Thing" Said one of the many Harrisburgers who deeply appreciate the season's REAL sale "There's a difference," one lady told us, "The New Store's sale has a true ring" "not merely on the surface, but one that includes everything." —We thank the many New Store friends who have such unlimited confidence in us and assure them that the underlying causes of this appre ciation are a desire and effort on our part to serve and give you the utmost for the price.
