Germans Hold Ypres.
London, Oct. 27-It appears from
! official reports issued from German
and French headquarters that the Ger
mans, finding it impossible to advance
along the coast toward Dunkirk, owing
to the fire from the British and French
Warships, took a route a little more in
land and have succeeded in crossing
the User canal, which the Belgians
have been defending stubbornly for a
week past to the west of DiXmude.
The Germans also have made prog
ress TO the northwest of Ypres and
still are in possession of Roulers, tow
ards which the allies were advancing
last week and at one time were report
ed to have captured The Germans
claim to have taken 500 British troops
in the fighting in this neighborhood.
To add to the trials of the troops
short spell of fine weather has given
place to another downpour of rain,
which will convert the lowlands Of
Flanders into great lakes.
Great Battle in Poland
In Poland very heavy battle now
is in progress between the Fortresses
of lvangorod and Radom where the
Germans and Austrians, who were de-
feated in the first attempt to cross the
ViStula before the former city, have

stroying them.
The Montenegrins admit that they
have had to withdraw to their previ-
Gus positions along the Bosnian from
tier after an attack by superior
force of Austrians. The latter, in fact,
seem to be fighting in a manner of
which their first performance in the
war hardly gave promise.

Would Shake Allies OF.
Paris, Oct. 27.-The German masses
at La Bassee appear, from the desper-
ate efforts which they are making, to
be trying to shake themselves loose
from the close grip of the allies, who
menace their communication from
there and from Armentiers. The in
tense ardor Of the battle is undmin-
ished. Both armies received rein
forcements, but the allied lines With
stood formidable shocks and delivered
severe counter attacks.
The furious nature of the conflict
can be gathered from the fact that in
front of one British infantry division
in very small space over | 800 Ger
man bodies were found after an en-
gagement, while 500 German prisoners
were taken by the British in the
course of the attack.

Jury Seems Dissatisfied.

Dissatisfaction was plainly written
on the faces of the jurors when they
filed in from the room where they had
been deliberating When Justice Kel-
by ascended the bench, Robert Lld-
lum, foreman, because he was chosen
first, spoke without any formality or
introduction.

for the balance of the time We can
not agree. We have had no sleep"

replied Justice Kelby, Il have not
slept either
But we've been arguing" respond
ed the foreman.
At the suggestion of John ]. Gra-
ham, Mrs. Carman's chief counsel,
Justice Kelby asked the jury whether
it was the evidence they could not
agree upon.

A Strange Situation.
London, Oct 24.-On the western
Belgian coast there is being fought a
military and naval science, for spec
tacular effect, for ferocity of action
and appalling losses, is realization
of the most fantastic dream picture
of the War of the future" ever put
on paper or canvas.
The admittedly strongest army in
the world is being held impotent by
one of the weakest numerically.
The Germans, heavily REINFORCED
by fresh land troops and by naval
brigade of 10000 men, have extended
their base from OStend to Mariaflenke
and Middlekerke, half way between
Ostend and Nieuport, and from these
positions are shelling the Belgian line,
which extends from Nieuport south
along the River User. a distance of Is
miles, the German left flank rests on
the coast
The Belgians are being aided by the
French land forces, the British war
ships on the sea, and the British moni-
tors and small gunboats in the canals
and rivers.
The ferocity of the three -cornered
bombardment continues undiminished.
Losses on both sides are reported to
be terrific The Germans are reported
to have left 10000 dead and wounded
on the field.
No Decisive Battle Yet.
Although it is now just two months
since the allies concentrated on the
France-Belgian frontier to oppose the
German advance and the invaders
have been almost to Paris and back in
the interval, no decisive battle has
been fought. Neither side has destroy
ed or even partly destroyed an army.
Even the Belgian army escaped almost
intact after the country was overrun
by the Germans.
The same can be said of operations
in the east where the armies of Rus
sia, Germany and Austria are fighting
except in the case of Lieut. General
Samsonoff, the Russian commander
whose army was partially DESTROYED
by the Germans in the battle of Tan
nenberg, east Prussia.
Russians Score Victory.
In the present battle or the river
Vistula, from Warsaw south to the
river Pilica, the Russians are said to
have scored an important victory in
driving the Germans back and have
captured many prisoners, besides guns
and ammunition. But the defeated
army, when it gets back to it's selected
position, can entrench and start an
other siege battle such as that which
occurred on the river Aisne in France.
SOuthward of the Pilica the Germans
hold the river Vistula except in front
OF the fortress at Ivangorod. where
they were driven back by attacks from
that stronghold
The Austrian army, which was SO
often described as routed and de-
stroyed in the battles of Galicia. has
sprung into life again and is attack
ing the Russian left wing. The Aus
trians, however, apparently have found
an impenetrable barrier at the River
San north of Jaroslow.

MineoIa. N. Y, Oct 27.-The jury in
the trial of Mrs. Florence Conkln Car

discharged.
Ten jurors are said to have voted
for acQuittal and two for conviction
of murder in the first degree on the
final ballot. The jury was out about
13 hours.
1t is unlikely that Mrs. Carman ever
will be brought to trial again. Before
the jury came in District Attorney
Lewis j Smith said that if it stood
even to for acquttal it was i'm
probable that the defendant would be
retired.

could be- given too much water. Sew
eral different plats were given diff
fcrcnt amounts of water, ranging
from II inches up 10 rs inches for
each season, and the average of the
three yeavs showed that 80 inches Of
water would produce much better
paying crop than larger supply.
Several other tests made in that state
show about the same results.
The state of Idaho carried ON eX -
tensive experiments at Bull, in 1910.
IN which they produced 61.2 bushels
of wheat per acre with only LA feet,

the precipitation of 10 inches. this
being the largest yield of any of the
several plats of five acres each. They
also raised Csc tons of alfalfa per
acre with total depth of 2.34 feet
of water.
All the tests which have been made
by the several states and the United
States governmnt go to prov that
most every irrigator uses too much
water for every crop and that he
could make much more profit. and

ing the largest possible harvest he
is paying direct for his poor practice
and then he is not only wasting wa
ter but he is filling soil with dan
gerous alkali, which will tend to still
further reduce the yield, and he is
also damaging his neighbours land.
II the farmers of this country
would do their work on scientific
basis they would not only get bigger
crops but they would be increasing
the value of their land and leave wa
ter to be- used on other now arid
lands. They would also show the
prospective settler that he does not
need such an extensive pumping plant
or gravity supply, in addition to
showing him what the land can really
be- made to produce, aud these facts
demonstrated would greatly assist in
getting the locality settled closely.
OF course there are many other

and which greatly determine the duty
of water IN any particular locality.
Some of these have been mentioned in
previous articles but there are many
NOR which play an important part.
A fertile soil will produce much
greater crop. with lhe same amount
of water, than poor soil and then,
too. the makeup of the soil itself has
much To do with this matter.
Mention might be made of the in
fluence of sunshine. No plant growth
is complete without sunshine and the
more the better. Ii has often been
said that if the farmer were to irri-
gate his farm in the humid district,
as is done in the arid district, and
therefore safeguard himself against
droughts, that he could produce the
same amount of crop on a soil of the
same fertility. This is not true, for
there is not the total amount Of sun
shine during the growing period and
the greater amount of sunshine has a
marked effect upon the quality Of
the crop.
Thus it is plain that the farmers Of
the arid districts have much the best
facilities for crop production, for
with rich soil, water to apply at just
the time it is needed and with plenty
Of sunshine, the soil can then be
made to produce its maximum with

DROUGHT At COLUMBUS
UMRELlEvEO BY the CLUBS

Whisky furnished the problems for
the consideration of the attorney
general last week and in view of the
sweeping dry victories in Mora aud
San Miguel counties, assumed some
Importance.
First came one of two social clubs
at Columbus, Luna county, and
asked the corporation comission for
a refund of incorporation fees. The
clubs were organized to relieve the
situation created by Columbus going
dry and enforcing the ordinance after
the village authorities had been man.
damused.
But the originators of the brilliant
idea that social clubs might relieve
the drouth have discovered that the
law cannot be evaded and now one
of them asks for the return of the
incorporation fee. But Assistant At
torney General Harry S. Clancy ruled
mix" when Chairman NJ. S. Groves
submitted to him the request of the
Columbus Social club. The club will
therefore not get its money back.
Similarly, the assistant attorney
general informed Fred Gonzales OF
Seboyeta, Valencia county, that sa-
loon keepers must quit Immediately
upon the result of local option cleo
ton being promulgated to the effect
that the district has gone dry.
Gonzales thought he ought to have
twenty days in which to dispose of
his stock. Gonzales also wants a
refund ON his federal and state H.
censes and was informed that while
he cannot get anything on his federal
license he has the right to n pro
rata refund from the county.
Leyba and Chaves were informed
at the same time that they have a
right to sell lemonade, soda water
and other alcoholic drinks even
in dry territory such as Galisteo has
become lately. The letter says:
81 have to say that there is no
law of New Mexico prohibiting the
sale of soda water, lemonade or other
non alcoholic drink in what is known
as a prohibition district, ma diff such
drinks are sold in connection with
