Austrian Forces Are
 Running Terrible Risk

London, Aug. 31, 7:15 a. m-Com- menting on the temerity of the Aus trians in crossing the Vistula, appar- ently with the intention of Joining hands with the army engaged in the province of Lublin, the St. Peters burg correspondent of the Times says: By placing the Vistula between them selves and their base at Cracow the Austrians are running terrible risk. We must conclude that their aid is urgently needed in Lublin, where ac- ccrding to the headquarters staff, des- perate fighting has been in progress for nearly a week.
 Colonel Shumsky, military critic of the Bourse Gazette, commenting on these operations, concludes that in- stead of attaining their design of out fianking the road of the Russian ad- vance upon Berlin, the Austrians themselves are compelled to retire to defend Galicia."

VIEWPOINT CODDLER
 MURDERED IN SHOP
LabOrer Held On Suspicion
 Maintains His Innocence of Brutal Crime.

Newtown, Aug. 31.-No headway was made today in developing mo- tive for the killing of the towns we'll known cobbler, John Green, whose body was found in the little shop yes- terday. State policemen were here and a man, supposed to be from Bridgeport said that the cobbler was William Gore and that he has a brother and nephews in Bridgeport. This man said he knew Green, or Gore, very we'll years ago. John Collines, the laborer, who was arrest ed as suspect is still held. He maintains that he knows nothing of the murder and the blood which was upon him he says came from wounds received while in fight.
 A post mortem examina ton of Cores body was made today. The coroner will be here on Thursday. The officers began an inventory of the mans effects. As money was found in the clothing Gore wore, the idea of robbery as a motive is dispelled.
 The cobbler was a well liked elder 1y man, quiet in disposition, evidently of German extraction, speaking Eng fish fairly well. He had shown great interest in the newspaper accounts of the war. The theory was advanced once that possibly Gore got into dis pute with a caller over the war, and that the latter in a fit of anger struck the cobbler over the head. The of- ficers dispose of this by pointing out that the body had been brutally wounded and whoever did the deed took the trouble to drag clothing and mattresses from another room to cover the body. Gore was struck down while at his bench for his awl and last on which was a shoe were in his hands. Whoever used the axe to brain Gore must have passed be- hind a counter and got directly back of the cobbler before the blows were struck.
 While the man is supposed to have relatives in Bridgeport no one ap- peared during the forenoon to make inquiries.

American Embassy Forwards
 Dying Soldiers Letters

Paris, Aug. 31, 10:45 a. m.-The American embassy here is in daily re- ceipt of letters written by dying Ger man soldiers, forwarded to it by the French government for transmission to Germany.
 One is from a German aviator who had fallen into the hands of the French. This man wrote:
 Good bye, dear father and mother: my leg has been crushed. The French officers are very kind"
 A postscript to this letter, added by a French officer, reads:
 At this point the brave fellow died.

JACK" WALSH SPENT
 SUMMER AS FIREMAN
Local Boy Deputy Warden in Maine Woods Far From Civilization and
 Exposed to Wild Animals.

Hundreds of miles from civilization, deep in the heart of the forest prime val. Jack" Walsh, son of MT. and Mrs. J. J. Walsh of Bassett street, has been spending the summer with several other young men guarding the wooded section of Maine against forest fires. His title has been deputy fire war den and while there was stipend con- nected with the work young Walsh got plenty of fun and health out of the position also.
 The state of Maine employs large numbers of fire wardens and deputies to protect it against the ravages of forest conf1agrations. Walsh was To- cated five miles from the Canadian boundary line and the nearest town was Topsfield. The wardens' duty is to patrol the fastnesses and always be on the alert for smoke or flame. They are in the midst of all sorts of danger from wild animals and go armed when leaving camp.
 Young Walsh has a store of in- teresting anecdotes regarding his work and he went through many exper- fences. On his return trip the ship he was sailing on along the coast of Maine was wrecked. Walsh is now with his parents at Ocean Beach, New London. He will leave soon to re- sume his studies at Georgetown uni- versity.

BEES AS CROP DESTROYERS
Charge That Damage Results From
Sucking of Nectar From the
Flower Is Very Unjust One.

Bees are many times accused of be-
ing destroyers of crops of different
kinds, more especially the fruit crops.
The charge that damage results from
the bees sucking the nectar from the
flower is very unjust one, relates the
Perdue Agriculturist, for, while the bee
is taking the nectar from the flowers
it is aiding greatly in the pollenation
Of the flowers, making a good crop
possible.
A complaint which is very often made
is that the honey bee punctures fruits,
apples, pears, grapes, etc., and suck
the juices. AS matter of fact, bees
never puncture sound fruit. They do,
however, suck the juices from fruit if
the skin is broken by some other
means, thus using up fruit that is al
ready damaged.

BIG FACTOR IN INCUBATION
Causes Of Lower Percentage in Arti-
fetal Matching Is Matter of Con-
siderable Conjecture.

The question of the cause or causes
of the lower Matching percentage that
commonly characterizes artificial in
cubation when compared with results
obtained when eggs are set under
hens, is matter about which there
is considerable conjecture, but little
definite knowledge.
In connection with various theories
that have been advanced and several
experiments that have been made, it
is perhaps suggestive that investi-
gators have recently inclined to the
opinion that unsatisfactory results are
probably due in greater measure than
is generally supposed to an excess of
ventilation.
Several authorities are mentioned in
support of the statement that there
Is larger amount of carbon dioxide
in the air surrounding the eggs that
are naturally Matched than in a we'll
ventilated incubator, and the question
Is raised as to whether and to what
extent it may be an essential factor
In incubation.
