LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

FRANCE.-The official communidue
issued In Paris said that the general
situation remains satisfactory and
that there is nothing new TO an
nounce beyond the fact that in the
district around Roye an engagement
ended in success for the French
and that in the Argonne district
the French have made some prog.
ress. The afternoon bulletin also
reports an advance in the southern
part of the Woevre district.
GERMANY.-According to an official
statement issued from German head
quarters there was severe fighting
at Albert, eighteen miles northeast
of Amiens, in which a French force
advancing toward the town was re-
pulsed. The French advanced into
Alsace and Lorraine, but their at
tacks were energetically repulsed.
RUSSlA.-The reports from Petrograd
say that there was severe fighting
between Drusskeniki and Grodno
between the Russians and a Ger
man army that attempted 10 cross
the Niemen. The Russians report
an army OF 1000, 900 men advanc-
ing from Warsaw into Silesia and
a force of 100000 engaged in the
Galician campaign.
BELGIUM.-The Germans are advanc-
ing upon Antwerp from three diff
ferent sides. The bombardment Of
the city still continues, but so far
no damage has resulted except to
Fort Waelhem. The garrison Of
one of the forts made a successful
sortie, inflicting severe loss on the
b~esiegers. The King of Belgium
made a balloon ascension over Ant.
werp. The balloon was shot at
but not hit.
ITALY.-Austria's willingness to re.
move the mines in the Adriatic and
to pay $1,000. 900 indemnity to the
families of the mine victims as well
as her expressions Of regret over
the incident have removed the
danger Of a break between Austria
and Italy over this occurrence.
JAPAN.-The German soldiers and
~warships in Kiao-chow have opened
a severe counter attack upon the
japanese fortified portion of Using.
tao. A German torpedo boat de-
stroyer has been sunk in the harbor
of Tsing-tau. Accounts differ as to
whether the damage was inflicted
by japanese guns " resulted from
accident. The Germans assert that
their losses have been small so far,
but that the japanese have lost
LOO killed and 500 wounded.

Foes Of Russia
Are Massed to
Hold Cracow
Germans and Austrians Meet to Make
Stand to Defend Silesia-Teu-
tons Lost $4,000 at
Lodz, is Report.

Petrograd.-RUssian successes in
Galicia and northwest Poland have
forced the Germans to abandon all
minor operations and to concentrate
all possible strength in a line from
Posen to Cracow for immediate de-
fence of Silesia.
A Russian cavalry victory at An
driejev, forty miles north Of Cracow,
may have been the first episode of a
gigantic conflict. The German right
flank is supported by Cracow, their
left by Posen, while fifty miles back
of their centre is the strong fortress
of Breslau.
Gen. Won Hindenburg has been re-
called from East Prussia to dominate
the defence on the Posen-Cracow line.
Among the re-enforcements hurried to
this line are four Bavarian and Saxon
army corps. Already first line Ger
man troops from France, with reserv-
lists from all parts of Germany, had
been despatched to Silesia. 1t is as
sumed that Gen. Dankl's beaten Aus
trian force, now probably $50, 900, is
concentrating with the Germans.
The Russian General Staff furnishes
details of the disaster which has over
taken the German offensive in Su-
WALK and Lodz provinces. In the bat
ties which brought about the collapse
of their invasion of Russia the Germans
lost 10000 killed and 10000 prisoners.
They were so thoroughly beaten near
Suwalki, Ostrovitz and other towns
that they fed pell nell, leaving behind
them wagon trains, batteries and bag
gage. The soldiers threw away rifles.

also of considerable importance in

The Experiment Station strongly
recommends the use of properly

the season will allow of it, but the

Discing Land for Corn.

Comparatively few men realize the
value of discing land before breaking,
especially before breaking for corn.
If corn is to follow corn, this practice
is especially valuable as the harrow
works both as stalk cutter and as a
soil pulverizer. ,
The saving of the corn stalks, as
compared with burning, is of much
benefit for the amount of humus ad-
ded and also for the increase in the
water holding capacity of the soil.
By the use of the harrow the stalks
can be chopped up and when turned
under they will so thoroughly mix
with the surface soil that they will
rot quicker and will also be out of the
way of the cultivator in cultivating
the corn crop.
. Still another benefit of no little i'm
portance is the pulverization of the
surface soil which allows of more
water being absorbed and also forms
a mulch for holding moisture, which
would otherwise be lost. This mulch
formed on the surface tends to keep
the soil much more mellow and con-
sequently the breaking will be found
much easier on disced than on crust

TEXTILE STRIKE OFF;
CONSUMER TO PAY
INCREASE IN WAGES
It is Believed That More Than 800, 900
Workers Will Benefit by Great
WalkOut.

Walk0ut.
Boston, Mass, March 24.-Th,
great Lawrence strike, which brouqh
in its train increased wages for 275
600 textile workers in New England
was officially declared off at all til,
mills in Lawrence today, having &C
complished its purpose, in the opinion
of the leaders.
In this connection it is generally be.
lieved, too, that advances in wages
or reduction in hours to paper-mill
employees, bagging and burlap work
ers, machinists and operatives in
other industries are all traceable,
directly or indirectly, to the move
ment which had its origin in Law
renee
The total number of persons thus
to benefit is considerably upward Of
100000. Advances in the price of
wooden and Gotten goods already
made or which are in prospect prob
ably will place upon the ultimate con-
sumer much of the burden of the ad-
ditional cost to the textile manufac-
turers.
This will aggregate between $1O,-
100000 and $4,000, 900 during the
next year, it is estimated.
Mill agents in announcing advances
in prices have frankly admitted that
the upward trend is the result of
wage advances.
The rise in the price of cotton goods
announced up to today is comparative
ly small, fraction Of l cent yard in
most cases, but selling agents predict
that the net advance to the retailer
may ultimately reach 2 cents yard.
Some increased prices also have been
quoted on wooden goods, and dealers
freely predict higher prices for next
season.
New Bedford, where the manufac-
turers of the finer grades Of cotton
goods have refused to accede to the
demands of their employees for an adj
1itional 5 per cent, has displaced
Lawrence as the center of interest in
he textile situation. Unless the mill
owners give the increase demanded
within few days, it is feared strike
If from $4,000 to 10000 operatives
will follow.
While an increase Of S per cent has
oeen offered, the New Bedford opera
ives are insistent that they receive 10
yer cent. Secretary Devoll of the
lanufacturer's Association has prom
sed them that the mill owners will
ecide early in the week whether this
ill be granted. :
The suggestion had been made that !:
n immediate increase of 7 IL per IL
ent be given, with promise of an v
dditional 2 IL per cent on a given o
ate. This may be the basis of a
