BIG GERMAN WAR FUND
enormous Sum Authorized To Meet
Expense Of Campaign.

eApeu0e OF campaign.
London, Dec. .-Germany's determi-
nation to prosecute the war relentless
" Is reflected in the virtually unani-
NOUS vote Of the reichstag for a war
credit of $1.250, 100000 and in the i'm.
perial chancellor's declaration that his
country would fight to the last breath.
Belgrade, which until the outbreak
OF the war was the capital of Servia,
was today occupied by Austrian
troops, the Servians having previous
ly evacuated the city.
Thus. on the sixty-sixth anniversary
OF the reign of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, who again is reported seriously
Ill, and four months after the out
break of the war, his generals report
one of the most important successes
they have obtained.
Discussing the campaign as a whole
a we'll known Berlin military critic
maintains the long resistance and the
unexpected recuperative powers of the
Austrians, coupled with it's losses in
Poland, have deprived Russia of such
large portion of her first line troops
that her offensive power has been ir-
retrievably impaired. On the other
hand, observers in Petrograd express
the opposite view and they are conf
dent that Grand Duke Nicholas will
prove himself more than match for
the admitted resourcefulness of Gen.
eral Won Hindenburg.

Lodging Houses For Homeless

New York. Dec. 5.--The first severe
storm of this year struck New York
this evening, cold, northerly gale
with t1urries of snow and occasional
dashes of sleet, driving the homeless
by hundreds into charitable refugees.
The municipal lodging house for the
first time this season was taxed to ca
pacity, the superintendent stating that
it houses nearly $500, including so
women and IL children, while an over
flow of some 400 was cared for in the
new annex established on an East side
river front recreation pier.

Russian Forces Compelled To surrend.
er Polish Stronghold.
London, Dec. 7.-Lodz, the second
city OF Poland, and lying Is miles to
the west-southwest of Warsaw. has
fallen to the German arms. It was
occupied Sunday, according to the of.
f5cial announcement from Berlin.
Around this important town a des.
perate battle has ragged for days. Here
countless thousands have fallen, in
desperate hand.to-hand conflicts, and
from the shells of hundreds of guns.
1t was evident from the occupation
OF Lodz by the Germans that the heav-
lest kind of fighting has been going on,
Tor late advices told of a vicious at
tack and bOmbardment of Lodz and
fighting on the outskirts of the city.
Lodz has long been an objective
point of the German army. 1t has
grown in recent years from an insig.
nificant place to be one of the most
populous cities in the Russian empire.
In 1910 its population numbered 415,-
604, and with this important place as
a base, it is expected that the Germans
will make strong effort to reach the
Polish capital of Warsaw.

MONARCHS WATCH BATTLE
German and Russian Emperors Go
To The Firina Line.

London, Dec. 1.-The battle In
northern Poland, concerning the pro.
gress of which there has been so much
mystery. is now being fought out nm.
der the eyes of the German emperor
on the one side and the Russian en-
peror on the other. These two mon.
archs left for the front today, so that
virtually the heads of all the nations
at war are with their troops.
The king of England is in France:
the king of Belgium, as usual. ia
spending all his time with his soldiers.
while President Poincare of France
started today for another visit to the
northern battlefield.
Official news from Poland continues
to be scanty, and with both headauar-
ters claiming success it is impossible
to say how the battle is going. OF it's
intensity, however, there can be no
doubt.
The Germans, when they started for
Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a mass
OF Russian troops and forced their way
so far in that the Russians closed on
them. This was taken in Petrograd to
mean that some of the Germans d.
visions had been cut off and that their
surrender or annihilation was newt
able.
1t appears, however, that fighting
for their lives and in the knowledge
that a great defeat would end the Ger
man offensive and compel them to fall
back on their own frontiers, the Ger
man troops succeeded in breaking
through the Russian lines at one
place and at another in holding their
entertainments against all the Rus
sian attacks.

May Remove Embargo.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Prospects for
modification in the near future of the
Australian embargo on wool exports
so as to permit shipments to the
United States were said today to be
very bright. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice,
the British ambassador, conferred
with Acting Secretary Lansing at the

to have discussed probable action by
the British government with refer
ence to the existing embargoes on the
expectation of wool, rubber and plum

New York seems to have contract

would have attracted no little
public attention had it not been
eclipsed by far more serious mat

marked hostility to the nomina-

maries in the event Of his refusal
to declare specifically for funda-
mental Progressive principles.

Amos Pinchot. and was appar-

tons of rebellion were all the
more significant because they
were persisted in by a consider
able proportion of the 600 dele
gates present after Colonel Roos-
eveit had personally addressed
the gathering in support OF tie
Hinman nomination. The Col
cnel s contention was that all
objections to Human on grounds
of principle should be waived for
the sake Of insuring united anti
Democratic combination, on a
platform of anti-bossism and hon

FLOWING UNDER COWPEAS
FOR GREEN MANURE.

A reader says; sOWed %
acres of peas after oats, intend
ing to pillow them under to enrich
the land, but since my corn crop
has been cut short by the drouth
| feel that | can not afford to
pillow under these peas and buy
feed for my stock. What do
you think"
As genera, rule a man can
not afford to pillow under feed
crop for manure and buy feed.
1t is probably trr@ tina. the pea
crop pIowed under would do
more good to the land than the
stable manure made from feed
ing the peavine hay; for the ami
mails will take out some of the
plant foods from the peavlnes
and some of them will be lost
from the manure under ordinary
farm management before it is re
turned to the land. The humus-
forming material in the crop viii
also be greatly reduced by pass
ing it through the ANIMALS, 50
taking the whole proposition it is
quite certain the land will not re
ceive as much if the crop Is fed
eff the land and the manure re-
turned as it would if it were
plowed under. The land might
be so greatly in need of humus
that it would pay to plow under
one corp of peas and buy feed,
but this is probably not generally
true. t-.'
On the other hand, protein and
nitrogen which make the pea
vines valuable are also abundant
and cheap in cottonseed meal,
considering it's feeding and
value. If, therefore,
cottonseed meal would |
take the place of these peavines
for feeding and the land is great
ly in need Of humus it might pay
well to pillow under these peas
and buy cottonseed meal. For
coatonseed meal is sold on its
fertilizer value and is worth its
present price either as feed or
as fertilizer. Ordinarily AMI
as a general rule or principle It
will not pay to pillow under good
feed for it's fertilizer value only,
but under special conditions an |
on land which must have the
additional humus to produce a
profitable crop it might pay to
turn it under if a cheap material
Ike cottonseed meal will serve
as substitute feed for the stock.

color to the theory that his pres
