BULLETIN.
LONDON, Sept. 27.---In two days
the French and British have gained
greater results than In the preceding
twelve months of fighting since the
battle of the Marne. With upwards
OF 100000 German prisoners In their
hands and something like thirty
guns, without counting machine guns,
and with a formidable breach In the
German line, the allies apparently
have their long expected offensive
movement we'll under way. The adj
vance has been general, and its ef-
feet is emphasized by the fact that
on the eastern front a substantial
gain for the Russians Is recorded.
Petrograd states that the army OF Gem
erai Ivanoff has won a striking victory
over the Germans and AuAtrians In the
southeastern theater, where 1000 prison
ers are said to have been taken.
Beisians Take Part ON User.
The Belglans also are taking a promi-
nent part In the new offensive movement.
Their official announcement reports the
capture of German poat on the rsght
bank OF the User, with the consequent
evacuation BY the Germans OF adjoining
trenches.
II Is believed In London that the new
move In the west will again bring the
Germans face to face with the necessity
OF making choice between the two
fronts. as was the case earlier In tho war.
Military writer's point out that the Rus-
SLAMS arc now holding the Austrians and
Germans on a front OF 100 miles, while
the presence OF nearly 100000 strongly
entrenched Germans has failed TO pre-
vent an advance in France. This, they
say. must increase the perplexities OF the
German general staff and react immedi-
ately on any plans which may have been
formed for new attacks In the south or
southeast.
The feeling OF optimism. in London IL
enhanced by the political effect which
the successes OF the allies appear to have
had on the Balkan states. Dispatcht y
from Sofia indicate that Bulgarian ciplo-
mats are eager to convince the allies
that mobilization of the army was not
prompted by hostile motives
Russian Position Improved.
The latest official news from Petro-
grad is interpreted here as showing that
the Russians are distinctly in a better
position. This seems to be true even ia
the region Of Dvinsk. whore Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg has concentrated
his efforts, perhaps at the expense of
the southern tront. The German attack
now seems to be slackening.
Notwithstanding the successes Of the
allies. England Is not blinded to the fact
that II will be no light task to attempt to

Want Federal Govt to Take
Charge of Citrus Car1ker'

Dade county and in other sections
where canker has been found in a
most systematic manner but the
money appropriated while seeming =
very lage sum to many Legislators
is already beginning to show that
it will not last forever. In fact it
isstated that there is just about en-
ough for three months more work
when the State will have to stop for
lack of funds.
No way of handling the canker
except to burn it out root and
branch, has been discovered and this
is the method that has been adopted.
1t is highly infectious, it being pos
sible to spread it from grove to
grove by the infections that may
stick to the feet of birds or to the
clothing of the workers. 1t attacks
both the fruit and the foliage and is
most loathsome in its effect and ap-
pearance. 1t utterly spoils the
fruit both for sale or for any use.
1t has been felt that destruction
of groves of innocent parties was
rather stringent measure and
while it has been necessary to adopt
such tactics, many have felt that tho
grove owner ought to be remember
ed to some extent at least for his
loss in the benefit of the general
public. So far as the State is now
situated there is no possibility Of
anything of this sort being done.

June and Matrimony.

The first people to adopt the month
of June as sacred to Hymen, the god Of
marriage. were the ancient Romans.
who considered June the most propi-
tious season of the year for entering
upon matrimonial relations. The Ro.
mans held that June weddings were
likely to be happier than alliances con-
tracted in any other month of the year.
especially if the day chosen were that
Of the full moon or the conjunction of
the sun and moon. They also held
that of all months May was to be most
avoided. as in that month newlyweds
would come under the influence Of spir.
its adverse to happy households. These
ancient marriage superstitions were re-
tanned by the Christians in the middle
ages. and even today June is consid.
cred by many to be -eminently the
month of marriages. - Pittsburgh
