OH Steamer Gulflight Bound From Port Arthur, Tex., to Rouen With CargC of Naphtha--Vessel Towed to Port by British Craft. London. May 4.--The American oil steamer Clulflight was torpedoed in the English channel on Saturday by a Ger­ man submarine. Her captain died of heart disease from the shock and two members of her crew of 36 were drowned. The Gulflight, a 3,202-ton ship, owned by the Gulf Refining company of Texas, was bound from Port Arthur, Tex., to Rouen with a cargo of naphtha when she was attacked off Bishop lighthouse, in the Scilly islands. The vessel, although badly damaged, Stayed afloat and was towed to shore "by steam drifters and beached. The rescued members of the crew were landed by a patrol boat at Scilly. The French steamer Europe also was torpedoed by a submarine and sunk off the Scilly islands. The sub­ marine ordered the crew to take to the boats and then fired several shells into the steamer. The ship did not sink from the effect of these, bo the submarine launched a torpedo which sent her to the bottom. The crew of the Europe was picked up by a fishing smack and landed at Newlyn, Cornwall. The Europe was bound from Barry to St. Lazaire with coal. The British steamer Fulgent was sunk off Skelling Rocks, southwest of County Kerry, Ireland, in the dark early Saturday morning, also by a German submarine. The master was shot and killed and his body taken into one of the boats. Later the boat was picked up by a trawler and its occupants landed at Kilrush. It is feared the remainder of the crew, who occupied a second boat which has not been found, has been lost. The Greek steamer Fotis. from Gal­ veston and Norfolk for Rotterdam, has been taken into Blyth, England, by a British prize crew. It is alleged that she carried a cargo of contraband believed to be destined for Germany. The Gulflight is the fourth Amer­ ican steamer destroyed either by mines or submarines in the sea war zone since February 18 and the fifth Amer­ ican vessel sunk in all, the William P. Frye having been sank In the South Atlantic by the German raider Prinz EStel Friedrich. FOUR SHIPS SUNK IN BATTLE Leon Gambetta Sunk In Ten Minutes --One Hundred and Thirty-six Rescued by Italian Vessels. Paris, April 30.--The French cruiser Leon Gambetta wad junk by an Aus­ trian submarine, with the loss of 678 of her crew of 714, in the Strait of Otranto, near the entrance of the Adriatic sea, which was officially an­ nounced by th6 ministry of marine oa Wednesday. The official announcement of the sinking follows: "The Leon Gambetta was sunk while cruising off the entrance of the Otranto canal. All the high officers died at their posts. One hundred and thirty-six sailors and petty officers were saved by Italian boats." The Leon Gambetta had on board a crew numbering 714 men, including twenty-two officers A majority of the men were asleep at the time the cruis­ er was struck. Those saved were vir­ tually without clothing. They were taken from the water in a pitiful condition. Some were wcfund- ed and others were almost uncon­ scious, while all suffered from ex­ posure. The Gambetta parted company with the French cruiser Jules Ferry Tuesday night to cross the Strait of Otranto, with a view to co-operating with other French ships in an attempt to block the Austrian fleet if it should seek to leave the Adriatic. The submarine U-5 launched two torpedoes against the Gambetta, both of which were effective. The Austrian submarine U-5 which sunk the Leon Gambetta was com­ manded by Lieutenant George Ritter von Trapp. Lamenting the loss of the Leon Gambetta, the Temps says: "The cruiser was a valuable unit of the French navy." The Leon Gambetta was engaged with other French cruisers in guard- j ing the strait to prevent the passage of Austrian submarines to attack the i allied fleet at the Dardanelles. The cruiser displaced 12.416 tons.

MONUMENT TO TWO HEROES BERLIN CELEBRATES CITY 18 DECORAT^D AND CROWDS FILL THE STREETS FOLLOW- ING VICTORY OVER RUS8. FRONT IN GALICIA CRUSHED CeaKs Army Reported <o Have Been Driven Over the Dunajec River and Eight Thousand Pris­ oners Captured. Berlin, May 5.--The Austro-German armies operating against the Russians in western Galica have Won a great victory, it is announced in an official statement from the war office. Accord iQg to the announcement the Austro-Gerijian forces, after bitter fighting, Jiierced and everywhere crushed tnja entire Russian front in western Galicia from the neighbor­ hood of thfe Hungarian frontier to the point where the Dunajec river flows into the Vistula. The Russians are officially reported to be in retreat, leaving behind enor­ mous quantities of booty, which have fallen into the hands of the Germans and Austrians., At Mitau the Rus­ sians lost 1,700 prisoners. The official statement of the Ger­ man war office that the Germans have broken through the Russian front in western Galicia, capturing the Rus­ sians across the Dunajec, has caused a great outburst of jubilation in Ber­ lin. The city is decorated and noisy crowds fill the streets. The German official statement fol­ lows: "Inuring their pursuit of the Rus­ sians who were fleeing in the direc­ tion of Riga, German soldiers yester­ day captured four cannon and four machine guns. South of Mitau we took 1,700 prisoners, increasing the total number to 3,200 more. "Attacks ot the Russians southeast of Kalywria failed with heavy losses to the enemy. The Russians were driven across the Skesupa, leaving 330 prisoners in our hands. "Northeast of Skierniewice the Rus­ sians sustained a heavy defeat and lost a great number in kUled-as well as 100 prisoners. "In the southeastern theater of war (Galicia) in the presence of Archduke Frederick, soldiers under command of General von Mackensen of the Ger­ man army, after bitter fighting, pierced and everywhere crushed the entire western front in western Ga­ licia, from the neighborhood of the Hungarian frontier to the point where the Dunajec river flows into the Vis­ tula. "Such of the enemy as succeeded in escaping made a hasty retreat toward the east, hotly pursued by the Teu­ tonic allies. The trophies of this vic­ tory cannot even be approximately estimated at this time." ROME EXCITED BY REPORT German Embassy Confirms Report Ne­ gotiations Between Italy and Aus­ tria Have Been Severed. Rome, May 5.--Direct information from the German embassy on Monday confirms the report that negotiations between Austria and Italy have been broken off. The excitement in the cky is growing. Premier Salandra suddenly and un­ expectedly called a meeting of the cab­ inet. It was announced that, "owing to the international situation," the king and his ministers would not at­ tend the Quarto celebration. The gravest interpretation is placed upon this abandonment of the trip to Quarto, where the king had prom­ ised to be present at the unveiling of a monument to Garbaldi and where, it was expected. Premier Salandra would make an important speech. It is generally believed that negotiations with Austria are off. This belief is reflected in the com­ mercial and industrial life of the city, AK MDUNA MAN TELLS OF WESTERN C He Is Perfectly Satisfied, and Tells of His Neighbors Who Have Done WelL Walter Harris, formerly lived near Jnlietta in Warren township, Indiana. He now lives at Hussar, Alberta. In writing to his home paper in Indiana, he says that the failure is the man who always blames the country. He fails to see his own mistakes, has missed his calling and Is not fitted for farming. The two seasons just past have been entirely different In 1913 plenty of rain came In June and a good crop followed, but the fall was dry and but little snow in the winter followed by a very dry summer, and a short crop. Only those that had farmed their land properly were able to meet expenses. For example, last year the Crow­ foot Farming Company, south of here, threshed from 1,250 acres 38,- 000 bushels of wheat. One-half section made 2t> bushelB, the poorest of all. This year on 1,350 acres they threshed nearly 26,000 bushels. Last year's crop sold at 75 cents from their own elevator. What they have sold of this year's crop brought $1.00 at threshing time. Eight thousand bush­ els unsold would bring now around $1.25. The manager and part owner was raised in Ohio and farmed in Washington several years. He and his wife spent last winter In Ohio. She told me a few days ago that the climate here was much better than Ohio. A man by the name of George Clark threfihed 75 bushels of oats, 45 bush­ el* of barley and 35 bushels of wheat to the acre He tiad 15,000 bushels of old oats as well as wheat and barley In his granaries that have almost doubled in price. He came from Washington, where be sold a large body of land around $200 that ho bought around $3.00 per acre. He then refers to a failure. A large company in the eastern states, owtilag a large farm near Hussar pays its manager $3,000 a year. The farm has not been a success. Probably the man­ ager's fault Mr. Harris says condi­ tions are not as good as could be wished for, but on the ending of the war good crops, with war prices, will certainly change conditions, and it seems to me that the one who owns land that will raise 100 bushels of oats, 75 bushels of barley or 40 bush­ els of wheat is the one who "laughs last" The above yields may seem exag­ gerations to many, and are far above the average, but you should remember that the man who fails is counted in to make the average, and there are instances on record here that would far exceed the above figures. Nor is grain the only profitable thing that can be raised here. There are many fine horse ranches, some of them stocked with cayuses and bred to thoroughbreds, and others Import­ ed from the old countries. They run on the range nearly all the year. The owners put up wild hay to feed them If the snow should get too deep for them to get the dead grass. There are several hundred in sight of here most of the time. There are several cattle ranches north of here that have from 500 to 7,000 head of cattle. One man I know sold $45,000 worth of fat cattle this fall. He winters his cat­ tle on farms where they have lots of straw and water, paying 75 cents a nyonth per head, or If. there is enough straw to winter 400 or 500 head they buy the straw and water and have a man to look after the cattle.--Adver­ tisement.

"By hook or by crook," caused a lot of trouble when the inquiry into the fire at the Cafe Parisien was continued before Fire Commissioner Ritchie, says the Montreal Star. I. T. Hackett, representing fire in­ surance companies, was handing the hotel register to a witness when Leon Garneau, representing the cafe pro­ prietors, objected on the ground that a previous witness had given the names of guests in the hotel on the night of the fire. Mr. Hackett was much incensed and raised the point that Mr. Garneau was warning the witness.

Lee Slilppey, makim? a defense of the spring poet in Higginsville Jef- fersonian, makes the surprising state­ ment that in six years not one spring poem has been offered for publica­ tion. Here is what he says: "Why, when every bird and bush and tree and blade of grass wants to gained his point," he said, "as I knew he would, by hook or by crook." This angered Mr. Garneau, who wanted to know if that phrase implied that he was a crook, or was using crooked methods; if so, he would in­ voke the ruling that only courtesy al­ lowed counsel for companies to be present in hearings of this kind, and he would ask that Mr. Hackett be ex­ cluded. The latter explained that the phrase originated with the Irish defenders of Limerick, who had to de­ fend two channels, the Hook and the Crook, from English attacks.
