New York, Aug. 12.-The thousands

New York, Aug. 12.-Using hollow
rubber heels as a means of battling
searchers, John Reggione has kept
prisoners in the drug section of the
Tombs supplied with morphine, CO.
caine and heroin for over a month,
His method was found out recently as
the result of his carelessness in wear
ing tan shoes into the prison and
black shoes out Reggione's brother
John. was placed in the drug block Of
cells early in June, and since that
time prisoners near him have had a
plentiful supplyo narcotics. The case
was put UP to Lieutenant Sherb, of
the drug squad, and his men watched
the block closely for week. Nothing
was found wrong until one of the de-
tectives, disguiseda a keeper noticed
that Reggione, who was frequent
visitor, wore tan shoes into the prison
and black ones out. In the heels of
the tan shoes were found morphine
and heroin. The black shoes were
his brothers. The heels of these were
also hollow, but empty. They simply
traded shoes.

happened than if it had been part Of
the arranged program. Another pom
toon bridge was thrown across the
Mouse. Before it was completed at
least a hundred of the men building it
were shot. As they fell others took
their places.
Then the battle began The Liege-
DIS did not fire much at the artillery,
which could net be seen. They waited
for the troops. The slaughter was
terrible. Every time the advancing
line jumped up to run few yards

Gen Won Emmich had barely rid

crash and splash. The bridge had been
blown up.

From almost anywhere in the city,

Just as the first line came into view
the guns of the German artillery, post

booming. The shells could be heard

New York, Aug. 12.-The Tribune
publishes the following vivid descrlp-
ton of the early attacks on Liege. The
dispatch came from the Tribune's
London Office.
The only man who has yet got back
to London after witnessing the first
attacks of the Germans on Liege is
BENJAMIN Hallet, a member of Bel
gian zinc firm, who reached here after
travelling As hours without food. Mr..
Hallet said:
"As soon as the city heard that the
Germans were invading Belgium all
the men in the city, and many women,
too, clamored for rifles. The supply
was insufficient to go round. Food
was plentiful, but nobody bothered
much about eating or sleeping, either.
q heard the sound of heavy firing
in the direction of Wise on Tuesday,
and finally saw red glare against the
sky. Wise was burning.
"A grim determination not to sur
render Liege to the Germans until its
last defender had been killed inspired

There were many heartrending
scenes in the streets. l heard one old
woman say through her tears, He's
my only son, and it will break my
heart to have him killed, but I'll be
satisfied if he only kills three Ger
mans first
THE Germans had their big guns
far away across the River Mouse out
of sight. A small detachment came
in with a white flag. 1t was Gen. Won
Emmich, the German commander, who
came to demand the surrender of the
city, saying he merely wanted free
passage for his troops and would not
hurt soul, but be friendly with e.
erybody, and pay cash at the people S
own prices for everything that was
needed.

about getting what he wanted, it was

any chance of getting anything when

ination of the Liege men to resist him

diers crossing the bridge were about
20 feet from the Belgian side, swing
ing with the bridge, and had just
broken from a quaint, slow, waddling
marh into a run, when the Liege guns
let go. When the fearful roar stopped
the only part of the pontoon bridge
left was about 80 feet of it on the side
where the Germans were, and the
surface of the river was wriggling

PULLING FODDER.

The Progressive Farmer:
Although less prevalent than for
merly, the custom of pulling fodder is
still entirely too general in the South.
On another page we are publishing an
article by Mr.. Cocker, showing just
what losses are sustained when fodder
is pulled. The two losses most en-
phasized by Mr. Cocker are the de-
creased yield of corn from which the
fodder is pulled, this sometimes rum
ming as high as Is per cent, and the
decreased vitality of the seed corn for
the next crop.
Other reasons we would emphasize
in our campaign against fodder pulling
are the exceedingly hot, disagreeable
labor necessary; the fact that saving
the whole corn plant by cutting and
shocking at the proper stage gives us
as good a grade of roughage and a
great deal more of it; and, when this
cannot be done, the possibility, even
at this late date, of making good
crop of hay from soy beans and cow.
peas.
Of course the stage at which fodder
is pulled largely determines the degree
to which the corn crop is injured; but
it should be remembered that if fodder
pulling be delayed until there is NJ
danger of decreasing the yield of corr
the fodder will be so dry that it will
furnish a very poor grade of feed. W.
may say, too, that while Mr.. Coker'i
tests were made on his own farm ant

ment stations.
