REPULSE FOR ALLIES
Berlin Official Statement on Eastle

Berlin (Nia The Hague). Sept. 90
, That the main line of the French forts
extending from Verdun to Toul IS
being battered to pieces by the Ger.
man siege guns-forty-two centimateI
mortars-was announced by the war
office. The official report read
THE German troops are attacking
the entire line Of the French fortified.
tons along the French eastern from.
tier from Verdun to Toul. In an at.
tempt to raise the siege and prevent
the demolition of their forts, already
suffering severely from the German
shell fire, the French have made sew
eral attacks in force on the German
lines. All have been repulsed with
heavy losses to the enemy, who has
also been driven back on his main sup
port.
"1'he right wing of the German army
has been under severe pressure from
the combined British-French forces
but at no point has the enemy succeed
ed in making an impression on our
lines. The main chain of defenses
along the river Oise and the Aisne is
intact and the efforts of the enemy to
carry the forts by night attacks have
proven futile.
"Along The line from our right
through the Argonne forests no i'm.
portant engagements have taken
place. East Of the Argonnes the Ger.
man lines have been extended through
Varennes, which was taken by a series
of brilliant assaults in which the
enemy lost heavily"

WORK NECESSARY TO
Be TENNIS CHAMPION
Girl Tells Of Training Months
For a Single Match

New York.-It is not an easy thing
for girl to win tennis championship.
But the hardest work is not done
around the nets while the contest is
actually on; it is keeping in physical
condition for such a match
Miss Clare Cassel of this city, nation
al indoor tennis doubles champion, has
compiled twelve rules which, she de-
clares, must be rigidIy adhered to be-
fore one can hope to win success as
tennis player. They are: First, no golf;
second, no candy; third, no dancing;
fourth, no cigarettes; fifth, no reading
at night; sixth, no wine or cocktails;
seventh, no swimming on match days;
eighth, massage after each days play;
ninth, luncheon on a glass of milk and
a sandwich; tenth, plenty of rallying
exercise before each match; eleventh.
drinking nothing during a match ex-
cept barley water; twelfth, bed at 10
p. N. and nine full hours undisturbed
sleep.
Miss Cassel in telling of the work
necessary to keep in condition and the
strength necessary for game says:
mo matter how primed a man really
is. five set match finds him all in.
He has to play harder to win-or lose
than any man who goes through nine
innings Of baseball. A championship
match with the players even and the
score often running to deuce games
and deuce sets will find both men ut.
terly exhausted at the end of the play.
1t makes many more demands on the
players than two halves of varsity
football.
"And If tennis means this for men
perhaps one may imagine what 1t
means for women and girls. If you
play to win matches, If you long for
the brackets which proclaim you
champion of your club or your county
or your state, you must be ready to be
grueled week in and week out, for ten
mis- Of that class is a grueling game.
Consider the girls and young mar
ried women who follow the tourna-
ments from place to place all the live
long season, 1t means five months Of
training and self denial, five months Of
the hardest kind of work from June
through October. And then they must
play indoors 1T least twice week all
winter long if they would keep in
form"

TREAT YOUR SEED
WHEAT FOR SMUT
insure Clean Seed BY Killing the
Spores OF Sinking Smut With
Eormalin.
NICHOLAS SCHNITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When field of smutted wheat is
threshed, many of the smut balls"
are broken and the sound grains are
covered with the smut dust. AS far
as is known, this is practically the
only way infection takes place TO any
serious extent. This infection is
especially serious when clean crop
is threshed with machine that has
just thTeshed a smutted crop.
Before treating your wheat for stink
ing smut, it is best to remove all IN
broken smut balls. Since the smut
balls are much lighter than the sound
grain, thorough tanning will generally
do this. If tanning will not do it, the
grain should be poured into a barrel
of cold water and thoroughly stirred
so that all the smut balls will come
to the surface where they can be
skinned off.

the solution applied with sprinkling
can or with spray pump, throwing a
fine spray. While the solution is be-
ing applied, the grain should be stirred
constantly with hoe, shovel, or gar
den rake, until every grain is
thoroughly wet, about three quarts of
the solution to the bushel will be re-
quired After the grain is thoroughly
wet it may be put in pile, and al
lowed to remain this way for the same
length of time as stated above.
Treated seed may be sown the fol-
lowing day after it has been spread
out to dry, or it may be thoroughly
dried and kept indefinitely. If sown
soon after treatment the drill should
be set to SOW from one-fourth to one
third more than for a normal seeding
of thoroughly dry seed.

remarkable changes in the Hungary
sport situation during the past few

His assertions are borne out by recent
reports on this subject.
