Late WAR news summary

Over the long battle lines of Europe
comparative quiet prevailed to-day ex-
cept in Belgium, where the conflict
continues, still with deadly fury and
still undecided.
On the Servian border sharp fight
ing is in progress and the Turks are
in action against the Russians, but on
the main positions through France,
along the east Prussian border and in
Galicia there apparently is a lull On
the success or failure of the German
attempt to force a way to the English
channel at whatever cost may depend
the future of the campaign not only in
Belgium but elsewhere.
To-day's official French statement,
the only authoritative word up to early
afternoon, sketched out battle line
which adhered closely to that previous
ly reported. In contrast with yester-
days frank admission of German
advance, including the capture of Dix
nude, the French statement officially
was non-committal. Fighting continues
with violence on the western end of
the line, it is said, but there are no
indications whether the Germans have
succeeded in pushing further their ad-
vance. It is assumed in all quarters
that the utmost energy of the allies
will be expended in efforts to halt the
German movement west of Dixmude,
as the road lies straight to Dunkirk,
on the channel
Minor engagements are reported at
other points on the line, but apparent
ly there have been no movements of
note.
Along the Servian border, the only
other point from which heavy fighting
is reported, the Austrians are making
a determined effort to crush Servia
and complete the campaign before the
opening of winter.
Austria S recent assertions that her
troops had defeated the Servians and
were carrying the fighting well on Ser
Wan soil found partial confirmation in
official information from Nish, where it
is admitted that the Servians abandon
ed some positions along the northern
border for strategic reasons A de-
cisive victory, however, is claimed by
the Servians in one of the numerous en-
gagements now in progress along both
the western and northern boundaries. A
force of 5000 Austrians who crossed
the Danube at point thirty miles from
Belgrade, the Servian war Office says,
was put to route, 1000 being killed
1000 captured and many drowned in
the river.
The Russian pursuit of the Germans
along the Silesian frontier has slack
ened and the Germans are strengthen
ing their positions along the line of bor-
der fortresses in expectation of an at
tempted Russian invasion.
Petrograd makes the statement that
the retreat of the Germans was due to
the failure of their Crown Prince, in
command of the center, to hold his po.
sition. Both General Won Hindenburg
in the north and General Dankl in

lresh hive. The stronger the colony and the bees the less is the honey consumed.
 This appears strange, but it is quite true: a small lot of bees in a hive containing several combs are restless, with the consequence that they con sume honey to raise the temperature lowered by the cool air surrounding them.
 The food supply may be ample owing to particularly favorable sea son after the supers have been re- moved. but even if feeding has to be resorted to, very little time will be needed to perform this part of the work
 In order to obtain young bees for wintering, a supply of sugar, given at the close of the honey flow. will prob ably be all that is necessary to con tinue breeding up to the middle or Sentember. when whatever further snpply is needed to make the colony safe for winter can be given in the form of sirup.

According to the National Council of Education and the American Medical association. country school children are from 10 to 20 per cent less healthy than city school children.

ARRANGE FOR WINTER
TASK SHOULD BE PERFORMED WHILE WEATHER IS WARM.
Each Hive Should Be Examined to As- certain If Required Stores Are on Hand-There Is Nothing Bet
 ter Than Sealed Honey
fPv F. !. .HERMAN1

tEF F. c. HERMANN
 If there is one item above another having great importance in the winter ing problem. it is the securing of the winter stores near and about the clus- ter of bees in time for them to settle down ito that quieseent state so con ducive to good wintering, prior to the middle of October, in the more north ern localities.
 To arrange these stores properly and seal them, req es warm weather hence all will see the fallaey of put ting off caring for them until cold weather arrives. To be sur that all have the desired amount Of stores there is only one certain way to do. and that is to open the hives and take out each frame.
 If. after going over a hive and weighing each comb, 1 find that there Is 25 pounds of actual stores, l call that hive or colony all right for win ter. 1T less it must be fed the def- eiency; if more. it can spare some to help another colony which is lacking in the amount. In this way the whole apiary should be gone over.
 Colonies left on the summer stand require anywhere from 20 to 30 pounds of good food for successful wintering A little in excess of this will ac no harm, but on the contrary will s..nu- late the colony in building up fasre= in the following spring.
 ha combs of honey, a few of them can be distributed among the light colonies, but in the absence of these 1t will be necessary to feed liquid honey or sirup made of sugar and water.
 Do not think of using anything but the best grs2ciated sugar. Whep bees can fly all the time. you can safely feed them anything But whAn >hey cannot Ey, there is nothing better than sealed honey. When you cannot have that Ese a sirup of granulated sugar.
 If the feeding can be attended to while the weather is still warm. the sirup may not be quite so thick. say about pounds of sugar to one pint of water, which will make pounds of sirup.
 If the feeding Is deferred until cool weather has set in, the sirup will, O. necessity, have to be a so5ae %.iNr thicker consistency. for the bees will not be able to evaporate the super fluous water out of it.
 In making the sugar-sirup be care full not to burn it while boiling. In fact 1t need not be boiled at all; just pour the boiling water over the sugar and stir until thoroughly dissolved; when cool it is ready to give to the bees.
 It is claimed by some beekeepers that if few tablespoonfuls of extract ed honey are added to the sugar sirup it will prevent it granulating G the comb. but there is little danger of this anyway. If there are weak lots just unite two or more together, re- moving the least valuable queen.
 The bees of two lots may be united peaceably by sprinkling them thinly with sugar sirup favored with pepper mint, and then placing the frames with adhering bees alternately in a

Five Fer Cent. Increase to Add $50.
 100000 to Revenues.
 washington.-By vote of five to two the Interstate Commerce Commis. sion granted the application of the railroads in official Classification Ter. ritory for an increase in rates. The decision awards the carriers 5 per cent. on everything but coal and iron ore, and is expected to add nearly $50.o00.e09 a year to revenues of the lines east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers.
 The decision Is 8 victory for the railroads-the result of three hard fights for advances in rates common. surate with augmented operating ex. penses.
 In it's decision the Intersta Com. meree Commission cites the strained financial situation resultant rom the European war and ths poor fiscal showing of the railroads for the year which ended June Sa 1914. as the reasons for granting the increases.
 Widespread prosperity for the rail. roads and those liz IS of business di- rectly affected by this industry is ex. peeted to follow the establishment ef the new rates. The railroads will file the new tariffs Immediately They will go into effect ten days later
 President Wilson and all other off cials of the administration evidenced satisfaction at the action of the com. mission. They realized the plight Of the carriers. and now, with added rev enues in sight for them. are confident of a business boom generally.
 Those railroads which benefit most are in the Trunk Line Freight Assoet. ation territory. lying east of Buffalo and Pittsburgh and north of Norfolk 10 the Atlantic, except New England. Other lines also will receive assis. tance through permission to increase interstate rates on freight shipments to and from New England. Increases also are allowed for shipments be. tween the official classification terri tory, that traversed by the Eastern railroads and the Southeastern ter. ritery. the Southwest and points on or east of the Missouri River.
