While details of the designs aro withhold, It was learned from offi¬ cials that tho chief attributes are double hulls. In one ship the space between the outer and inner hulls would be fltted to carry fuel oil and would be especially designed for oil- burning vessolg. It was learned that on the Maxim (Ierstood to be that sho wanted n stipulation against use of the vessels in tho w,\r zone. Such a condition would detracf vastly from tho valuo ot the vessels, and the American Government has been opposed to that plan. The British steamship Batiscan, a .coal carrier, having a crew of 41. is bfiie-ved to have been lost with all j on board somewhere on tho southern ef>ast of Xova Scotia. Threo bodie.3 and a ship's boat which came ashore Tuesday at Deep Cove, 15 miles from I Yarmouth, and wreckage picked j { up near the Tiiskot Islands are re¬ garded by shipping authorities as conclusive evidence that the steam¬ ship has gone down. The Batlsean sailed from Louis- ; burg, C. B., Thursday last for St. John, N. B., with a cargo of 7,000 tons of coal. Her crew consisted of nine officers and 32 Chinese sailors. .She waS duo at the New Brunswick port Saturday or Sunday. It is be lioved that in thick weather she lost her bearings and brougiit up on one of the dangerous lodges off tlie Yar¬ mouth county coast. ! The three Chinese sailors whose bodies came ashore at Deep Cove wore life belts, .and apparently they had been dead only a few hours when found. It is supposed that they escaped from the sinking ship in a small boat and were endeavor- to make shore whon their boat, caught in the surf off Deep Cove, was capsized, Soareliing parties who began an examination ot the Yarmouth County shore after the flnding of the bodies, picked up four life belts al Calf Is¬ land. At Lobster Bay two steam l\atches. barrels of oil and other wreckage came In with the surf. The Government steamer Aran- more has been sent from Yarmouth to look for the missing collier. The Batiscan was commanded by Cnptain Evans. She had been op¬ erating in the coal-carrying trade in Nova Scotia waters for several years. She was built at Sunderland, England, in 1911, and her gross ton¬ nage was 4,836. DIECTOR P.ARSOXS tb:m.s Win- the i>oa\ AVILL BE SUCCESSFUL. Elements of mystery were intro¬ duced into the hunt for "Jack Car¬ son" Tuesday, when Coroner Dewes, of Delaware Counly, where the body of Carson's wife was found with a bullet through tho brain, admitted that she might have committed sui¬ cide. Following receipt of a letter signed "Jack Carson," telling of the suicide of his wife at a lonely spot on an old road in Delaware County near the Chester pike, the offlcials began a search of tho neighborliood and found the body early Monday night. Near the tips ot the dead woman's fingers lay a heavy revolver. Ac¬ cording to the Coroner, the body may have laid on the road since early Sat¬ urday night. In addition to the county police, the State Constabulary Is seeching for the missing man. Until about two months ago Carson was a mem¬ ber of the National Army at Camp Meade, but he is said to have desert¬ ed. The police at first thought Car¬ son, because of her stand against his unpatriotic act, fired the shot that killed his wife. It is now thought possible that another in close touch with the af¬ fairs of the Carsons may have com¬ mitted the crime and written the let¬ ter by which the police found the body. .Mrs. Carson was about twenty- flve years old and lived at Philadel¬ phia. She and her husband were Italians, known as Carson, but really named Garemo. the police have learned. Part of an oyster, which either Jlrs. Carson or the person with her had evidently been eating, was found near the body. Tho police are canvassing the oyster saloons of the section to learn whether Carson was about near the time of the wo¬ man's death. Detective Mahaffey, ot Philadel¬ iihia, who discovered tho body and has boen assigned to the case said that he had information which would lead to the discovery of the missing husband soon.

In our trenches and back of our lines great preparations for the big drive are under way. "Success is sure, but It will not come easily. All good Americans must apply themselves to the task of helping to raise this money as they never before have applied themselves to anything. The government needs the help of every individual now more than ever before. There must be no slackers. No one should depind upon some one else to make up his share. EJvery one must do something. "The first thing we should all get flrmly implanted in our minds Is the seriousness of the situation. We are flghting a most powerful war machine. To overcome It, we must make almost superhuman efforts. And we cannot do this great task at all without mon¬ ey. That Is the first need. So every¬ one who Is not flghting with his hands must flight with his money—that Is, must buy Liberty Bonds. "Nothing could do the govemment more harm than the peace talk which WP hear, and even seo printed, on all Bides. The time to talk and think of peace is after we are victorious. Onr government is preparing for a long and bitter war. The only way to •horten It is to supply the money now 80 that we may have the equipment for our soldiers, the ahlps and food and all those thlnga which are necea¬ aary to win. "This Is a great, Wg, patriotic oppor. tunity for aill of ns to pnll together and show the rest of the world bow America can rise to a situation. We must put Into bonds all the money we can spare. Even If we have not the ready money, but have credit, we should uso our credit to raise money with which to buy bonds. This will be found the easiest way In the lonf run. Tf It seems Inconvenient to raise money now, lot us Just consider tke possibilities of defeat. That wonld mean paying ovor to an autocratic power whatever that power saw flt te exact of us. Surely thero Is a decided difference between doing that aad lending our money now to T'ncle Sam at a good rate of Interest, I know the people will wake up to the sltn- tlon. and that Is why I am sure tho third Liberty Loan drive wlU be • great ancceao." SMALL-F.\RM OWNER >IAA' SECURE .AID FROM FARM LOAN BOARD Tho Federnl Farm Lo.nn Board hak issued the following rules for the guidance of the land banks in deter¬ mining what, area constitutes a farm for loaning purposes: "First Generally.—The farm must be of sufficient area to yield at the hands ot an ordinarily capable far¬ mer, putting it to the use to which it is generally adapted and using aver- ago methods, an income sufficient to maintain tbe family ot the applicant and discharge the interest and amor¬ tization payments. Second. Specially.—W h e r fe through intensive farming or the practice of a specialty a sufficient 'n- come has been regularly derived from a tract d<»ficlent in area for or¬ dinary farming, or where the applica¬ tion of the prospective borrower shows that lie is hy experience cap able of producing sucli an income from such a tract such area may be . ac eptv.d as sufflcient provided the Isnd has a stable and permanent mar¬ ket value sufficient to warrant the loan applied for. This ruling does not apply to fruit and orchard lands which have already been the sub¬ jects ot deflnite rulings by this board." Under the first paragraph of this ruling loans may be made to the or¬ dinary farmer on the basis of aver¬ age skill and efficiency, and no tract of land will be accepted as a farm eligible for a loan under the Federal farm loan act unless it is large enough to support the family and tako care of the loan under average farm conditions of tho neighbor¬ hood. But under the second paragraph of the ruling the intensive farmer or the man who practices a profitable specialty, or who shows himself able to do so, will be given financial sup¬ port by the Federal Farm Loan Sys¬ tem, even though his farm may be too small for ordinary farming pur¬ poses, provided that the land quite apart from its use has a stable and permanent laud value which will make the loan safe whether it is well operated, or badly operated, or not operated at all.
