thrives little better than In abso-
lutte darkness. If 1-100th part of
normal daylight is thus too little
to stimulate plant, it seems quite
cerain that a six hundred thou
sandth part cannot have any effect
at all. 1t is therefore mere waste
of time to think about the moon
in connection with the planting OF
crops.
The moon, therefore has nothing
to do with the building of fences,
the time for killing hogs, or any
other of the innumerable things
over which it was once supposed to
exert strong influence.
The DeVoe theory is that all
weather is of lunar brew. 1t holds
tenaciously that heat, cold and at
mospheric disturbances of all kinds
are due to the slantindicular moon
rays that strike our earth; and the
more slantindicular they are the more
varying the weather; the less slantin-
dicular, the more certain the weather.
In other words, if the moonlight hits
us center shot, that is perpendicular
like, and not slantindicular, it means
extremely hot weather. And if the
rays come along, on very long, thin
edged slantindicular, look out for the
zero mark. This has enabled DR..
DeVoe to take up the astronomical
side of the case and plug it to a
finish. Getting the exact barometric
gradients, and knowing the moon ray
angle, its the easiest thing in the
world for this learned apostle of the
stars-not only to tell by ingenious
forecast what kind of weather we
shall have 1873 years from now, but
he can tell with minutest detail the
exact temperature, color of the skies,
whether there was cloud on the hori-
zon, the day julius Caesar was
stabbed by Brutus in the days of
ancient Rome. So the gentleman who
yielded to the claim of the present
day scientists and wrote the article
quoted herewith, will have to hand
the palm to DeVoe versus science.

Summary of War
NelUs of Yesterday

"Appreciable progress on the two
banks of the Fecht river" as an
nounced in the French official state
ment, Is an indication that the allied
forces are pushing their campaign IN
Alsace, for the river runs past Col
mar. capital Of Upper Alsace, which
is one of the French objective points
This is one of the movements 10y
which, IN conjunction with the oper-'
ations along various sections of the
battle front from the sea to the Nos-
ges mountains, the allies hope TO put
pressure on the Germans TO force
them gradually to withdraw.
The military authorities at Paris
saw that the Offensive operations are
developing all along the line and that
the pressure thus applied NAV simply
grow in intensity until the grand Of
fensive," long looked for. has been
inaugurated by u gradual process
and not by a sudden onslaught on
some fixed date.
For the time being, Russians and
Germans and Austrians appear to be
deadlocked around that pivotal point
of the Carpathian mountains--Uzsok
pass. Several millions of men are
fighting there for supremacy. but
although the tussians have ceased 20
advance, they have not been driven
back.
Unfavorable weather conditions,
swollen streams and impossible roads
are having a great influence on these
operations, in which no decisive ad-
vantage may be gained by either the
one or the other OF the opposing
forces for weeks to come.
The most striking incident in the
naval warfare is an attack made by a
Turkish torpedo boat on a British
transport. the Manitou, In the Aegean
sea. Seemingly the Turkish warship
did damage, for the British official
statement, although stating that
three torpedoes fired at the Manitou
failed to hit her, says that one hun
dred men on the transport lost their
Lives through drowning
The British cruiser Minerva and
several Gcstrcyers pursued the Turk
ish craft and drove her aground.
