625 TAKEN OFF U. S.TRANSPORT ASHORE IN GALE

{Troopship Northern Pacific Still ■ Aground Off Fire Island and May Break Up. ' WOUNDED CAST INTO SEA efforts to Rescue Soldiers Are Halted After 234 Soldiers and 17 Navy Nurses Are Landed —Captain Says Ship Is Safe. Fire Island N. Y., Jan. B.—Breeches buoys were pressed into service to (transfer passengers from the stranded transport Northern Pacific and some were taken in small boats to* tpther vessels lying as near the troopship as safety would permit. Latest reports say that the total number removed from the transport was 625. Three lifeboats were capsized by the heavy seas and wounded men were hurled into the surf. Eight of the •wounded were unconscious when rescued by coast guards who rushed through the breakers to save them from drowning. After these mishaps the breeches buoy was rigged and the soldiers were brought ashore two at a time. A trolley boat also was run on a cable between shore and the transport, bringing twelve to fifteen men to laud at jeach trip. No Danger, Captain Says. j The Northern Paclflc Is resting easily and is in no danger, according to a wireless message received from Captain Connolly, commanding. Another attempt to float the vessel will be made at high tide today. Each end of the ship 'rests on a sandbar, with an open space beneath Its middle. The wind and high seas drove the heavy vessel farther inland during the night and It was only 150 yards from shore —only 150 yards from safety. Women Rush Into Surf. As the lifeboats came through the surf many of the Red Cross women waded waist deep into the chill water to throw blankets about the wounded soldiers, who were drenched Skin, and to give them hot coffee. ‘

The soldiers on the transport are tranquil in spite of their precarious situation. Far into last night the watchers who kept vigil on the shore could hear the blare of the band on the Northern Pacific and the voices of men singing ragtime. When the first coast guard boat managed to get alongside the stranded ship this morning the lifesavers were greeted by cheers and a barrage of doughboy wit. “Shy,” yelled a doughboy who has come back home with but one leg, “is there any danger of my. getting my feet wet? If there is I’m not coming; I’ve just got a new shoe." ? One More War Incident. , This is the spirit of the 1,854 wounded men, which latest reports give as the exact number, on board the Northern Pacific. The unwounded men are Just as tranquil. They are taking It as just one more incident of war. “I’ve nearly been killed seven times now, six times on land and once at sea, but I’ve got nine lives,” declared one of the first of the woundedwsoldiers brought ashore. Lieut. A. W. Broughton of Brooklyn stepped from a lifeboat to be clasped to the arms of his wife and mother. They had kept vigil on the beach all night, knowing he was on the threatened transport. Hospital Cases Serious. There were fbur wounded men in the. first boat to land. "The first of the tour ashore was Private Albert Litcfi'per from Buffalo. He was followed by Lieuts. Robert H. Wilson, Brooklyn; Robert XV. Thorp of Washington, Ind., and Joseph Logan Wilton, from Pennsylvania. The officers declared the stranded troops were In the best of spirits and were, in fact, making merry over their predicament. * Many of the hospital cases on the Northern Pacific are extremely serious, augmenting 'the difficulty of rescue. The wounded are veterans of the terrific fighting to the Argonne. Among them are a number of shell shock and mental cases, and there is £ne Yankee on board without arms or legs.

EASY SAILING SEEN

CLEMENCEAU'B BTAND 18 EXPLAINED TO WILBON. Col. House Tolle Result of Conference to the President— British and U. 8. Agree. Paris, Jan. 8. —‘The principal object which 001. E. M. House had in view In going to see President Wilson New Year’s morning was to tell him the result of a conference he had had the evening before with Premier Clemenceau,” said a member of the delegation to the peace congress to a representative of the Petit Journal. “The conference,” continued the American, “was on the subject of the varioua outstandlng problems and also on the subject of the premier’s speech in the chamber of deputies to which he related a conversation he had had with President Wilson. “Colonel House thoroughly went Into, as a whole and In detail, all the problems which the statesmen will be called upon to solve. Colonel House also told President Wilson about the interview he had had with A.”J. Balfour, the British foreign secretary, a few moments after leaving Premier Clemeffteau. The colonel said he had discussed the organization of x the peace Conference with the British delegate." The newspaper quotes the American as adding that Secretary Balfour and Colonel House found themselves In agreement on the subject discussed (presumably covering that touched upon In Colonel House’s talk with Premier Clemenceau), and that their opinion, “as well as that of all the, American representatives, Is Identical and that England and the United States are In agreement. ' \ “In a w’ord, we American delegates are convinced as a result of these conversations that nothing In Premier Clemenceau’s attitude can justify an apprehension of any marbed differences between the great powers of the entente and the United States, and we oelleve that the divergencies now existing will be easily smoothed over.”

The Neighborhood Corner

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County' Agent Stewart Learning.

Livestock Men Re-elect. Fred A. Phillips, H. J. Dexter and C. H. Wood were elected president, vice president and secretary, respectively, of the County Livestock Breeders’ association at the annual meeting held last Saturday. The report of the secretary showed the association to be J on a strong financial footing and that the membership had been increased by one hundred over last year’s figures. The sentiment of the meeting was

strongly in favor of a stock show next fall and for the development of ■any progressive plans which might be made for the improvement of livestock condition*. Dr. W. W. Renter, of the Tuberculosis Education Division of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry, spoke’ of the that his office is doing in the eradication of bovine tuberculosis, the government testing And main-taining,-supervision over herds which owners; desire -to be protected' from this disease. A number of breeders signed contracts for testing and others signified their intention to take up the matter at an early date. The general feeling at the meeting was that of optimism over the future of the livestock industry. Potash Situation Defined. A definite ruling has been received on the potash situation which answers the numerous inquiries which are being recei v ed ’•dative to the possibility of farmers obtaining potash from abroad for spring planting. Vance McCormick, chairman of the War Trade Board, has issued the following statement: “The importation of all commodities from enemy territory is interdicted by the provision of the “Trading with the Enemy Act,” approved ' provides “that it shall be unlawful October 6, 1917, which specifically for any person iu the United States ♦ ♦ * * * to trade with the enemy.” This statute remains in force until the end of the war. The authority to issue licenses to engage in these prohibited transactions has been deltgated by the President to the War Trade j Board, and the War Trade Board does not propose to issue any licenses which will authorize the shipment of commodities from enemy territory to . the United States.” | “The Customs Regulations, which have been promulgated under the'authority of the “Trading with the Enemy Act,” provide that no importations shall be granted entry except i upon presentation of a certificate, duly authenticated by the American I Consular Officer at the point of shipI ment ,to the effect that the commodities have not originated in enemy territory.” I The consequence is, there will be I no importation of potash before the proclamation of peace at the earliest. County Poultry and Corn Show Next Week John Weber, A. E. Wallace, Martin Sauser and Jesse Snyder of the County Poultry Committee and Geo. Myers, P. H. Hauter and Henry Paulus of the Corn Committee predict an unusually good exhibit of poultry and corn at the annual show, which opens in the armory next Tuesday, January 7th. The premium list has been revised so that every class of fowls may compete for the premiums and classes in 10 ears and single ears of both white j and yellow corn have been arranged for each township. Perhaps never before has sq much good seed corn been saved as this year. If samples of the corn produced on every farm could be brought together and compared, many undesirable strains could be detected by their owners and discarded in favor of better types this year when good seed is so plentiful. Along wit ihhigh germination, proper variety is an important factor in good corn yields and the man who bound to take more interest in his exhibits corn at the county show is variety than the man who neglects it. Both poultry and corn should be entered at the armory January 7th. Canning of Meats. Any kind of meat may be perfectly preserved by canning and ts fresh flavor retained. The process is very simple and similar to the method used for canning vegetables. The meat must be in perfect condition; good quality cans, rubbers and lids; and a perfect seal after processing. Methods below are for all different meats—beef, pork, mutton, chicken and rabbit. „ Idethod 1. Cut meat into desired removing, all gristle, surplus fat and bone. Pack in jars, add 1 t salt t oeach uart, fill with hot water to within 1 inch of top. Partially seal and process in hot water for three hours. Finish seal immediately upon removing from water. Method 2. Cut into desired pieces. Brown in hot fat in frying pan. Pack in jars, add 1 t salt, the hot water and proceed as in method 1. Method 3? . Cut into convenient pieces and roast for % hour. Remove gristle, bone, excessive fat, and pack into jars. Fill with gravy from roasting pan and proceed as before. (The gravy need to extend only part way up the can.) Method 4. Fried meat. Cut into slices. Place in frying pan and cook unti lhalf done. Remove from pan, pack into jars, pour brown gravy over meat, proceed as before. The secret of successful canning of meats lies in having the meat absolutely sterile; when the can is sealed and in order to keep it so the seal must be .absolutely perfect. Concerning the Packing of Butter. At a recent meeting of the Dairy Department at Purdue, the following method of packing butter was highly recommended: Work butter very thoroughly and salt as for table use. Pack tightly with no air space into small jars, paegked solidly. Place over the top of the butter a moist white cloth and sprinkle salt over the cloth, enough to coer the cloth. This will protect the top of the butter from bacteria of the air. Cover jar well and set away in a cool dry place. Butter packed in this way should keep four weeks or perhaps longer, providing it is a high quality of butter.
