The crop statistics of the U. S. Agri-
cultural Department show that Maine
leads all the New England States in the
average yield per acre of all crops for
the last ten years, and that but one
State in the country excels New England
in this respect. and that is Kansas. Yet
Maine has just begun farming, dairylng
and orcharding in earnest and on scien-
titc principles. Just watch US grow.

Germans should be met behind tie

SHARES OSTEOPATH
DIR. r. E. Moore, Who At
tends Wealthy, Accused
of Stealing Money.

DR.. Robert E. Moore. of So West 47th
ST., an osteopath, with a patronage
confined almost wholly to that portion
of Fifth av. lying between the 5O's and
the COS, was ,rrested yesterday on
charge of stealing 800 from the home
of Robert W. Goelet, at 591 Fifth av.
DR.. Moore had been visiting the Goelet
home for months to give treatments to
the millionaire.
A decoy package of bills was the un-
doing of the physician, the police as
sert. Aroused by the fact that varying
sums of money nd been consistently
disappearing from his home, Mr..
Goelet communicated with the police
several days ago, informing them that
he suspected DR.. Moore. Detectives
Frazer and Dietsch we're put on the
case.
Yesterday a package Of marked bills
was placed by the detectives IN ME-
Goelet's bureau drawer. The detectives
stationed themselves outside the house.
DR.. Moore arrived at 10 o'clock, leaving
about an hour later, As he left the
house Mr. Goelet sig allied TO the de-
tectives from window, and the physl-
clan was asked to return 10 the house
There the package was found IN MS
pocket, according to the sleuths.
The physician, they said. confessed
ct Police Headquarters that he had
taken several thousand dollars from
the Goelet home. Two weeks ago 5000
disappeared from Mr.. Goelet's bedroom
and last week $50 Although the physi-
clan collects large fees from his
wealthy patients. he is said to have told
the detectives that he spent large
sum of mon while abroad last year,
and could not resist the temptation to
take such sums of money as he found
in the homes Of patie.ts.
1t is believed that several other
wealthy men along Fifth av. who were
being treated by the doctor have also
suffered losses.

Russian Poland around Lodz have been
strenuously aggressive. Their wedge,
which already has been driven into
Russian Poland. is being pushed with
tremendous reinforcements. The base
of this wedge is Thorn and kalisz. The

II is believed that the foregoing dis
patch refers to an attempt Of the allied
fleets to force the passage OF the Oar

fact that the French navy has been
most active in the Mediterranean. An
other possibility is that a dash has
