Bullets from the guns mounted on

another airman, lieutenant of the

Briggs, threw two or three more
bombs at the hangar, but they missed
their mark and did no damage. He

The pilot Of the first machine, on

wound in the head.
The point here the aeroplane
landed was only three hundred feet

throw any bombs, but rose to a great
height and disappeared across Lake

TO WIPE OUT SERvIA
Austria Determined to Destroy Little
Slav Kingdom at Any Cost.

Nish, Servia, Nov. 23.-Win or lose.
Austria is determined to obliterate the
kingdom of Servia. This is the ac-
copied belief here as Austria il con-
centrating the largest army she has
yet hurled against the little Balkan
nation. For four weeks the flower Of
the Austrian forces have been pouring
into the territory on the west bank Of
the Drina.
Servia's general staff had information
confirming their belief that when this
great force was mobilized-and only
then-Austria would sweep down into
for all time the little Slav Kingdoms
pretensions to national life.
The opinion Is generally held here
that Austria believes, with Servia
crushed, she would have a fighting
sition, even were the allies supremacy
victorious, and the kaiser and Emperor
FRANCES Joseph forced to sue for peace.
Although Servia admittedly realizes
the seriousness OF the situation, mo-
where can there be found any one who
will admit possibility Of Austria ac-
complishing her ends. Servians are
confident Of success.
No secret II made Of the fact, how
ever. that Servia faces this last SUI
preme resistance. greatly weakened by
her two recent wars Her little army
as well as her material resources, have
suffered terribly. but In almost every
instance during the present strugEle.
she has been triumphant over Austria

the herders who were used to
the close system would not
adopt the new one. The asso-
ciate forester says that herders
naturally take a pride in having
their sheep look well and that
since they are coming to realize
that open herding means better
sheep, they voluntarily adopt it.
In conclusion Mr.. Potter men

The old plan, of course rendered
certain areas absolutely bare and
the going from and returning to
the bad grounds trampled a
great deal Of forage. He estl-
mates that an increase o. 10 to
% per cent has been added to
the carrying capacity of the
ranges and that 5 pounds weight
has been added per lamb, because
they have not been harassed by
herding or forced to trail long
distances to and from bed
grounds. On 100000 lambs
this means 100000 pounds add
ed to the sheepmen's salable pro
duct, and to the c~ountry's meat
supply.
He gave an amusing instance
Of a government experiment IN
which it was attempted to try
out the old alongside Of the new
system, but it was found impossi
bic to secure a sheep owner whc
would return to the old method

ural reseeding, for the next 20
Years at least, He says, too,
that Investigations have estab-
iished beyond a doubt that nat
ural reseeding can be accomp-
lished best by a rotation system
OF grazing based upon the simple
principle that grazing aids in
scattering and planting the seed
after the seed has been given an
opportunity to mature. Reports
show that areas protected until
after seed maturity and then
grazed, as compared with areas
absolutely protected for the
whole year against grazing, are
approximately so per cent bet
ter, and probably 200 per cent
better than range which hiss not
been protected at all. This
means that ranges can be inn
proved faster in use than they
can be in idleness and the prin-
ciple is being adopted on many
of the forests.
He also spoke of the new open
system of handling sheep, which
is simply quieter herding during
the day and bedding the sheep
where night overtages them. He
contrasts this with the old plan
of herding sheep close by the
use Of dogs and returning them

POLLUTION LAKES

Surgeon General Blue Shows
Cause for Spread of Ty-

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1S.-Pollu
tion of the. great lakes and tributary
rivers is becoming a serious menace
TO health, according to the annual re.
port of Surgeon General Rupert Blue.
He says 16.0O0,0O0 people are carried
each year over the great lakes and
more than sixteen hundred vessels use
these waters.
Apparently" Blue says, these ves-
sells play an important role in the
maintenance of the high typhoid fever
rate in the United States. Nearly all
these vessels obtain water for ali pur-
poses by pumping from the lake.
He recommended that water so TAX
en- be purified before used for drink
ing. Prevalence of typhoid in. the
United States is not half what it was
80 years ago
