burned part Of Louvain and, with the
Belgian, French and British forces
across the border in France, began
their marvellous drive toward Paris.
Sept Won Kluck was south Of the
Aisne river, pursuing the allies on
tleir retreat toward Paris. Won Bue-
lows army was on the left of Won
Kluck, and the other German armies
carried the line south, inside the
French border near Verdun. An inva-
sion Of Alsace by the French under
General Pau early in August had col
lapsed entirely, and the French strength
was concentrated before Paris.
On Sept. 6 Won Kluck's advance was
south of Marne river, five miles from
the Seine, southeast Of Paris. In the
night the British and French, who had
retreated hastily from the Belgian bOr-
der, turned upon the pursuers, and in

vaders were forced back north Of the
Aisne and east Of the Meuse, where the
line rests up to this date.

TRYING TO WELD WHlTEWASH
BRUSH IN EASTLAND CASE"
Somebody is trying hard to WELD
the whitewash brush in the Eastland
disaster mess" said Victor Olander
of the Seamen's union today when
he heard of the latest government in
vestigation. cit is rank nonsense to
enc consider the idea that piles or
shallow water cause dthe overturnlng
of the pleasure ship.
"Overloading was to blame and
that point cannot be lodged. The
U. S. steamboat inspection service is
really at fault and the arrow points
pretty directly at Chief Inspector
Geo. Uhler at Washington. He is the
man higher up.

allow overcrowding of the upper

The federal government has pro-
ceeded with it's investigation in an en-
tirely different manner. The grand

members wonder whether they will
ever be able to return to their former
occupations. Just before a number

New England Farms.
The same thing, only carried a stage
further, has occurred in the New Eng
land states. Since 1889 there have
been 879,499 acres abandoned. These
areas have become exhausted largely
through the loss of humus and the dis
sipatiOn of nitrogen consequent upon
grain and potato growing, without any
due return of organic matter.
Thus, 1t is evident that within COM
paratively few years, unless this loss
is stopped by the adoption Of a sys-
tenn of rotation involving the forma-
ton OF sod and by the keeping of
| stock, 1t will inevitably lead to that
low degree of productiveness which is
already common in some sections. II
the farmers OF today will only profit
by the mistakes of their predecessors
their problem will only be the main
tenance of fertility instead of increas-
ing it in the years to come. Obvious
ly the cost in time and cash and labor
of maintaining fertility will be infinite
ly less than of increasing it. This is
no longer pioneer age, and 1t be-
comes necessary to abandon pioneer
practices and consider the future as
well as the present
Fertility can be maintained and even
increased without the use Of CONNER
cial fertilizers. but the farmer must
realize that the essentials for such
procedure are rotation of crops in
which leguminous crops take an i'm
portant place, the marketing of his
crops in the form Of animal products,
and the return to the land of the Or
ganic matter which was taken from 1t.
