WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPLIED BY THE .ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Aug. Especial: For
the present. at least, attention has
been somewhat diverted from the
great drive the Germans and Aus
trians are making against the Rus
sian forces in northwest Russia and
Poland, to the Dardanelles, where
the allies and the Turks are at grips
in vicious fighting on the Gallipoli
peninsula.
While the claims of the allies and
the Turks are at variance as to what
has been accomplished in the new Of
fensive of the allies, there may be
CLEANED from the official reports of
both London and Constantinople that
fighting of a sanguinary character is
taking place and that each side has
suffered heavy casualties.
Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, the British
commander, reports that on the
southern portion of the peninsula the
allies. chiefly through the gallantry
and dash of the Australians and New
Zealanders, have trebled the area of
ground they previously held and that
on the Asiastic shore of the Darda-
nelles a French warship is reported
to have put five or six guns of Turk
ish batteries out of action.
Constantinople, on the other hand,
declares that in the region of Ari
Burnu an allied attack has been re-
pulsed with heavy losses in men, guns
and stores, and that in the same re-
gion and near Seddul Bahr, Turkish
attacks have netted them allied
trenches.
Although Enver Pasha, the Turk
ish minister of war, admits the allies
have landed $4,000 fresh men in
their new operations, he seemingly is
optimistic as to the final results of
the campaign. Two regiments of the
newly landed forces, according to
Enver Pasha, were virtually annihi-
lated, only sixty men escaping death
or wounds. These were captured.
The war minister added that the
Turks are entirely convinced that
they can cope with every situation
the allies a create for them.
The Germans, according to Berlin.
have occupied the fortress of Benja-
minow, east of Novogeorgievsk, and
unofficial advices are to the effect
that the populace is beginning tc
e~vacuate Dvinsk, an important rail
way junction on the Petrograd-War
saw line. To the south of Lomza the
entire Russian line is said to be re
treating across the Vistula between
that river and the Bug. The Musco.
vites, according to Vienna, are being
pushed back by the forces of the Teu.
tonic allies.
At sea, disaster has befallen three
warships-the British auxiliar,
cruiser Ramsey, the German auxiliary
cruiser Meteor and the Austrian sub.
marine U-12. The Ramsey vas sunk
in the North sea by the Meteor, which
later, while being chased by British
cruisers, was ordered abandoned b,
her captain and blown up. The U-1a
was sunk by an Italian submarine II
the upper Adriatic sea.
Berlin asserts that in the German
air raid over the east coast of Eng
land Monday night and early Tues
day morning the aircraft dropped
bombs, with good results, on war
ships in the Thames, the Londoi
docks, torpedo boats near Harwiei
and buildings on the Humber.

and other leading churchmen and lay

of the sessions and made several adj.
dresses. 1t is estimated that about

whites attended the great convoca.
ton. Bishop Biller, while presiding
was assisted by about twenty Indian
and fifteen white clergymen.
The religious services and the

a great booth especially constructed
for the purpose and having a seating
capacity for 1000 persons. On the
opening day memorial services were
held in honor of the late Rev. III

nearly the middle of August and it is
hot in the sun and in the shade. Old
Sol is apparently doing at least. some
thing to make up for lost time, and
in fact he had better be about it, for
he lost a good deal in the early part
of the season. There are now before
us about twenty days in August
nearly three full weeks before Sep
TENDER /, and if perchance we have
no frost before the 10th of September
that will still leave us only thirty
days for corn to grow. We may have
more than that-who can tell-we
may have less. but 1t is a reasonable
prediction that we are more than two
thirds through with the growing sea-
son for this year.
"A communication from one of our
neighboring states calls the situation
serious One thing is sure for the
present year. the annual seed corn
crusade should not be considered an
empty form. We need not be down
cast in order to be forehanded. South
Dakota must be wide awake to the
seed corn situation. If perchance the
season is short, let that be an extra
incentive for picking and storing
seed corn early. If III season proves
late and all the corn ripens. pick the
best and the most mature ears for
seed not later than September 10.
And If they do not all ripen before
that date, pick the best ones for seed
anyhow. ven If they shrink a little.
Remember the experience of old
er years. pick seed corn early and
cure ii in a dry place. 1t is a duty
of South Dakota to herself to pick
and store her OWL seed corn"
