very destructive, especially if
weather conditions favor its spread.

that healthy seed be used.
The Minnesota experiment station
pathologistss have been misquoted
with reference to methods of secur-
ing such healthy seed. The soaking
of seed potatoes is necessary in con-.
trolling some diseases, but trea tment

Seed potatoes should be secured
from fields which have not had any.

THE NEW ARTILLERY
AND HOW IT IS USED

Although the armies of Europe
are equipped with artillery OF
power and range SURPRISING any
thing that was used even in the
comparatively recent Russtan-Jap-
anese war, the great battles that
are now being waged will be won
by infantry. Yet the steadiest IN
fantry would be helpless without ar
tillery. Not until the enemy's bat
teries have been silenced dare the
infantry advance. Hence the OLD
Napoleonic artillery duel is still
dramatic feature of modern warfare.
But how changed! How puny and
utterly insignificant are the cannon
that roared at Austerlitz compared
even with the smallest modern field
gun!
How different. too. is the method
Of firing! Nowadays the gunners.
crouching behind steel shields. new
er see the object at which they are
firing. A battery commander.
perched on a support ten or fifteen
feet above ground, and screened by
foliage, scientifically finds the range
and then corrects it by observing
how the first shots fell. The ac-
curacy Of fire is amazing. If there
is any pleasure In the game, the
battery commander has it all; for
he alone knows exactly what is hap
pening when the shrapnel explodes.
Also he is more likely to be killed
than his men because Of his ele-
waited station.

Russian Advance Now Within
~ p Miles. of Cracow.

Petrograd, Now 1.-THE German
the narrow battle front on the west
bank Of the River Vistula is regarded
by the Russian military observers as
a feint at the city of Warsaw, the in
tentiOn of which is to draw Russian
troops from their advance on Cracow
and distract attention from the efforts
of the Germans to establish a strong
ly fortified defensive line from Kalisz
to CracOW.
This plan also is calculated by the
military authorities to relieve the Ger
man troops in East Prussia now Civ
ing way along the entire line by rem
dering a Russian further advance un-
tenable. Despite this demonstration,
the converging lines of the Russian
advance on the Austrian fortress OF
Cracow are steadily progressing, the
Russians say, having now reached
within twenty-five miles of that point.
The Austrians are stubbornly con-
testing the Russian offensive and are
taking advantage of every creek and
hillock in any way available for de-
tense, but the Russian columns in
South Poland already have traversed
the last river between them and the
fortress of Cracow. The Russian
troops form two fronts, one facing
Cracow and the other facing the Car
pathian mountains, where yesterday
they re-occupied the approaches to
two of the most important passes into
Hungary.

New York, Nov. 19.-The officials
of the stock exchange announced this
afternoon that because of unforeseen
difficulties. the plan to reopen the
exchange for dealings in bonds had
been indefinitely postponed. Earlier
In the day it was officially stated that

be resumed on Saturday subject to
minimum prices.
Soon after this announcement was
made officials of the exchange re-

the country some of which stated that
the proposed opening did not allow
sufficient time for bond houses and
other dealers in these securities to
make adequate arrangements. 1t was
also intimated that pressure had been
brought upon the exchange by prom
inent banking interests which are said
to have declared that domestic and
financial conditions are not yet suffi-
