FIND BURIED MONEY
NATURE OPENS INLET
Otorm Brings Improvement Farmeri t Had Sought In Vain.
In a few hours nature hns done for the rich farmers along the Indian river In Delaware what congress has failed to do In more than fifty year.s, when the recent ntorm cut an inlet 800 yards wide and eight feet deep where the river and bar flow Into the ocean. For several yenrs the Inlet has grad¬ ually filled until navigation has been stopped, and bills before congress for appropriations to build jetties have al¬ wnys failed.
Several times farmers have at¬ tempted to dig the opening larger, but to no avnil. When It clo.sed even smaller this winter and no flsh were coming In another attempt was made, but the sand shifted as fast as the farmers dug It out.
Then storm came and In a few hours scoured the Inlet so thnt a two-masted schooner can pass while the flsh nre swarming Into the quieter waters of Indian river and Ilehoboth bay.
It Was Hidden Yeara Ago by Pi¬ oneer.
While boring n post hole on his farm, located on the old Oregon trail, nenr fhe Little Blue river, a few miles northenst of Deshler, Neb., Wllllnm Reckmnn struck an obstacle which proved to be nn old kettle In which were a number of pieces of money, how much nnd of whnt denomination the lucky finder refuses to soy. The old kettle and a few of the coins were brought to town end placed on exhibi¬ tion.
The find Is thought to have been burled by a Mr. Jules, who owned the plnce years ngo. He sold out to "Buf¬ falo Bill" (William Cody) and Cn,)t. Lute North, and was afterward killed hy the Indians. Tradition says that before the Indians raided the place Mr. Jules secreted a large sum of money, and trea.sure hunters have searched the plnce In vain for years for whnt Mr. Beckman bored Into last week.
RE-ENFORCEMENTS
GAS-NOX
HAS SIX SUPER-SUBMARINES
Germany's New Boats Have Cruising Radius of 10,000 Miles.
Information received in an official quarter In Washington credits Ger¬ many with having completed the con¬ struction of six super-submarines of 1,500 to 1,800 tons capacity, with a cruising radius of 10,000 miles, and that six more U-bonts of the same de¬ sign are being rushed toward comple¬ tion.
Germany has designed the newer submarines, It wns said, to be superior to destroyers. It wns said that the allied admiralties have known for more than fhree months of the actual con¬ struction of these super-submarines, which, it is believed, follow on general lines the con.struction of the commer¬ cial U-bo»ts, one of which, the Deutsch- laud, visited the United States.

Mr. Hearst Answers Colonel Roosevelt; Suggests Joint Debate at Proper Time
MB. ROOSEVELT hai Mnt to the Senate ten thousand words of denunciation of the President of tbe United States, of Secretary Baker, of Postmaster General Burle¬ son, and of the Hearst newspapers. He has caused thie diatribe to be printed in the Con¬ gressional Record and distribtited broadcast among our people at the very moment when the war is reaching its most arduous and most critical stage.
I very sincerely believe that Mr. Roosevelt is making a grave mistake in endeavoring to dis¬ tract our leaders, dsturb the machinery of our Government, and of our military operations, and spread doubt and distrust and dissension among our people at this serious time.
This is the time above all times for the sac- riflce of our personal aspirations and antagon¬ isms.
It is the time for the exercise of our utmost combined endeavor, for the exertion of our most vigorous, united action.
It is not a time for discussion and dissension and detraction.
All loyal Americana, indivldiuils and institu¬ tions, should Join together, regardless of per¬ sonal or political prejudices, and work harmoni¬ ously to help our President and our people to win the war.
This the Hearst publications have earnestly and consistently endeavored to do.
From the very first day of the war the Hearst newspapers have believed that victory would be won by the united efTort and energry of all eor people, and not by the bickering and fanlt-flndingr of a few of our people,
The day before war was declared the Hearst papen aaid that tbe MANAQEMENT of the war shotOd be confided to the Executive; that while deliberation and many counsellors were good in peace, undivided authority and respon¬ sibility were necessary in war.
The day after war was declared the Hearst papers urged "an army of a million men," "the largest increase that could possibly be made in the navy" and "innumerable aeroplanes and sei^lanes.''
The leader^ of both parties in Congress op¬ posed universal service, or any form of "selec¬ tive conscription." But the Hearst papers cir¬ culated petitions from the Atlantic to the Paciflc, and collected more than 2,020,000 sig¬ natures asking Congress to pass the Selective Conscription act.
"Only by usinier the full Btrength of tho na¬ tion, AND EVERY MAN'S STRENGTH WHERE IT IS MOST NEEDED, can the full power of the nation be exerted," was the definite, verbatim expression of this petition.
I myself went pers^anally to Washington to urge my former associates in Oongress to vote for selective conscription, and on April 27 pub- hshed a four-coluran signed article in the-Wnsh- ington Post advocating it.
After the flg-ht icr the selective i^raft was won, the Hearst papers called for the conquest of the air. More than twenty editorials, some of them full pages, urged the appropriation of the $640,000,000 for aeroplanes and aviators which was finally secured.
Another urgent need was merchant ships. FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE THE WAR the Hearst papers fought with vigor and persistency for a Oovemment-built merchant marine. But the bill providing for it was killed by a filibus¬ ter, in which Senators Penro e ard Ohver, Elihu Boot and Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa¬ chusetts—all friends of Mr. Roosevelt—joined. But for this flhbuster we might have had at least a year ago the ships required to defeat the submarine,
The selective draft, ships and aeroplanes having been provided, the Hearst newspapers next petitioned CongTess "for temperance dur¬ ing the war"; to stop the use of foodstuffs for mftlriTig whiskey. This legislation was accozu- phshed ua sixty days, but the Hearst papers had been making a sustained fight against whiskey for five years.
To aid the First Liberty Loan, 914 columns of news, editorials and cartoons were published in the Hearst papers alone.
Many thousands of posteii on the Liberty Loan, drawn by Hearst cartoonists, were posted in all the spceaX cities of the country. One of them, publiahed May 24, 1917, was so effective that R. W. Woolly, Director of Publicity of the Treasury Department, Washington, requested oqpies for every Federal Reserve Bank in the United States—7,700 in number—and they were famished free.
"Tour work deserved unmeasured oonuuen- 4Mltion," wrote the Oovemment's Dhreotor of
V9 lid rwnnlttag U> tiM Bftvy, (ke ¦art—¦
and the volunteer army, the Hearst newspapers erected and manned recruiting stations in the principal cities of the Union.
In New York City MORE THAN HALF of the enlistments were made at New York Ameri¬ can stations.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels sent, un> solicited, a dispatch saying:
Yoar eo-ep«ration in hringing th* i*h and th* ' tttan togethar haa rendarad tha navy^oppariuna and important aariatanta.
Food control, the next great issue on the war programme, divided tbe country and Oon¬ gress.
The Hearst papers, and I personally, urged ONE-MAN CONTROL, instead of a commission of three.
On July 24, 1917, in a signed statement in my newspapers, I said:
Tha Pratidant daairaa ona man, inHm4td of a commiaaion of thraa, to aKarcima tha powara of food control eonfarrad by tha food bill. Tha Praaidant ia right. • •
Tha elauaa which raquiraa tha appointmant of a commiaaion of thraa, initaad of a aingla individual, to control promptly and affaetivaly tha food aup- pliaa for our cotintry and our alliaa it a nuatama and ahould ba atriekan from tha bill.
Individual authority and raaponaibility maha for alacrity and afRciancy in public aarvica.
Alter two months Oongnress passed the bill putting Mr, Hoover In sole control of food.
The President's War Message, later his Re¬ ply to the Pope, and his recent Memorial Day Proclamation were greeted by the Hearst papers as "historic doctunents that should be pre¬ served. ''
They were published in colors on calendered paper and more than 100,000 copies of each were distributed free.
The Qovemment departments, Department of Education, New York Public Library and the Y. M. 0. A. asked for more than 10,000 copies of these art reprints for their various branohes, and these, Uke all the others, were furnished free.
Marshal Joffre's visit to the United States was commemorated in a handsome volume, bound in veUnm and mounted in gold and en¬ amel, containing the photographs, speeches and descriptive aocoonts of his visit, and souvenirs of many cities.
This volume, officially accepted by the French Commifision, was presented to Field Marshal Joffre in the presence of his staff in Paris by General Pershing in behalf of the Hearst pubhoations.
To promote the Second Liberty Loan the Hearst newspapers devoted 1,296 columns of news, editorials and cartoons, and to aid the Third Liberty Loan the Hearst papers devoted 1,910 columns of news, editorials and cartoons.
The subscriptions of the Hearst publications ant! employes to the Liberty loans have been over half a million dollars; their contributions to the Red Cross have been over fifty thousand dollars.
In all these matters the Hearst newspapers, "douig right as God gives us to sae the,^ht," hiive tried to be the most vigilant agents of the public interest by their ACTS as well as by words.
Of Mr. Roosevelt and others like him, who ihid unpatriotic occupation in denouncing the Administration, and who seem more interested in their personal ambitions and political preju¬ dices than they are in winning the war, I would like to ask the plain question:
What have you done to give you thm right to criticiae the Adminittration and itt splendid achieoeinentt, or to juttify you in attuming tu- perior virtue and value to the Hearat papera, which have conaistently tupported tha Adminiatra- tion and contcientioutly endeavored in aoary Way to help the Government win tha war?
As far as I can see, Mr. Roosevelt has done nothing but savagely and sensationally attack ^he President of tbe United States and his Cabinet during this critical war period, and has done this for parti^n political purposes—and, what is worse, for pay.
As fav as I can see, one of the main objects of Mr. Roosevelt's latest furious attack upon the Administration was to aid and advertise those mag-asineB and newspapers which pay him and support him, and to reflect upon those magajdnes and newspapers which do not hire him or admire him.
As far as I can see, no matter what the motive of these continued attacks may be, whether it be partisan and personal, or well intended and merely misguided, tbe result oan only be harmful to our Ctovorxunent, harmful to the spirit of our people, harmful to the morale of our armies, harmful to our country and our country's cause.
After the war is over, therefore, or, better, after this present crisis is over, I shall be gUul to debate with Mr. Roosevelt upon the public pUtform whether his critical efforts or my con¬ structive efforts have acoompUshed the mora toward helping America bring this great war to a speedy and suooessfnl oondosion.
