HAPLESS WARSAW IS BEST DEFENDED CITY
 IN EASTERN EUROPE
Chief Stronghold for the Defense of Poland Has Been the Scene of Historic Battles Before.

WAsHlNGroN, July 27.-on every
 field where the German armies are now fighting in the enyirons of War. saw, great battles have gone before for Warsaw has always been the chief stronghold for the defense of Poland, the industrial. commercial and financial center. as we'll as tbe physical center and the enter toward which all Polish lines of communica- ton take their way The greatest of
 European conquerors have passed that way. and dealt with Warsaw as one of the halfdozen most important towns on the continent. As military problem, Warsaw is conscieutiouslv studied by the leading soldiers of Eu- rope, and there are few fields for which the possibilities have been bet- ter canvassed. The geography of the country immediately surrounding this great city, the scene Of a supreme test of strength between Teutons and Slav. is described in a bulletin just issued by the National Geographic Society which reads.
 'Girdled by a formidable plan of for tihcations and by fortified towns. which build circular line around the metropolis, Warsaw is the best de- tended city in Eastern Europe. Its immediate line of forts are thrown be- fore it at a radius of about 16 miles from the heart of the city. In the im- mediate line of fortified towns beyond the Warsaw forts. varying from % to 70 miles in distance from the city. are Garwolin in the southeast. Grojec in the south. Skieniewice in the south west, Bionie in the west Novo Goor- gieysk in the northwest. Pulmsk and Segrei in Che north. and Praca across the Fistula to the east. The most powerful of these fortrcsses is Noyo Georgieysk
 The country around Warsaw is plain, low and flat, intensely cultiyat- ed. and dotted with many industrial villages This plain stretches away to the Prussiau frontier To the south there are hill clusters, while in the north, throughout the region adioin- ing the confluence of the Narew and the Bug with the Vistula, there are considerable stretches of tangled and treacherous marsh land. During the spring and autumn rains, this region frequently suffers from disastrous floods.

UNCOVER GREEK RELICS

LONDON. July English soldiers in the Dardauelles have uncovered some ancient Greek relies of great in- terest in the course of their trench digging A soldier who was connect ed with the British museum before the war, describes his excavation in let ter just received here:
 We are fighting above a Greek cemetery Of great antiquity and in dig sing our latest line of trenches we found stone sarcophagi which are cer- taniy more than 20O0 years old probably nearer 2500 years The walls are thick and the c0nins very big. They are filled with line earth, which has slowly iutruded through the cracks Of the lid With great care We sift out from this the skeletons, more or less preserved, and in the bottom we find vases, bowls, lamps. and sometimes statues. The potteries decorated with the faces of men and women, are Of exquisite form
 "I have before me now a delicate cup which the slightest shock would break lt symbolizes that particular and characteristic beauty of form which Greece revealed 10 us. Its long handles, ethereal in their delicacy, give 10 this little thing the palpita- tations of wings

SOUTH WINS IN GRAIN PRODUCTION

While the country in general is birding itself on ,ho fine outlook for grain crops this year the palm ought of to he south In single year the reproach of being "onecrop section has been swept away King Cotton who deceived the south in 1914 by giving it 16OOOOOc bale crop when there market for the tuh king longer The Manufacturers Record, in review Of thc agricultural situation, declares:
 "The grain crop the South this year will exceed value by several hundred million dollars total of the most valuable crop produced by this section.
 That may sound incredible but the figures submitted admit of little question. According to the forecast of July by the department of agriculture the production of important grains in the southern states will be 15O OOOOOO bushels That is a gain of 2S6OOOOOO bushels over last years output By adding the rise crop to tho wheat and oats we get total grain crop for the South of 157oOOoOoO bushels increase last year of 292OOOO 900 bushels
 The real significance of these figures appears in the fact that while a increase forecast for the entire country, the gain in the South is immensely greater than in the western and northwestern tons especially given over to grainirasing. For the United States the estimated total is 5414OOOOOo bushels an increase of l9OOOOOoO over last year II is obvious that the South while stl producing than 30 per the total is responsible for nearly 50 per cent ol lle country present gam mat la TO say S m creasne its grain output about four times fast pro porionately the rest of the country.
 I is pointed out, too that generally commands
 price 10 to 20 cents higher in the South than in the West On this basis the Manufacturers Record esti- mates that the southern grain crops will represent gain this year of least s25OOOOOoO last years figures
 The outlook for cotton Is rather gloomy just now be of the threatened closing of the GermanAmercan markets and limitation of neutral markets by Great Britain. But isn't likely that any loss suffered in this respect will be great that it won't be than coun- taracted by the increased value of the crops oi whose marketing there is reasonable doubt
 Well may the South take heart and rejoice" says the Record, "n this splendid showing of what do in grain production. Even these figures easily bo doubled by dversidcauon Of its agriculture and ing home all of the foodstuHs needed man and beast" 7tr

The prohibiuonists and sanragiss are engaged in a widespread effort to line up members of the next congress for adoption of federal amendments abolshng liquor establishing woman suffrage throughout the country. The wisdom of their seeking federal action at this time is more open to question. It is impossible however, to with the argument they using with congress to get them to vote for the amendmentsthe argu- ment that the function of congress in amending the suton merely to go through the formaity of turning the amendments over states and letting them bear tho whole burden of decision
 That view has been clearly expressed by the state superintendent of the Anttsaoon League of New York who says: The Anusaloon League Is not asking any member of Congress to declare he favor of nation al prohibition but simply that he shall not become an avowed exponent and protector of the liquor traffic by refusing vote to allow the people of the nation by States through their representatives to determine this question in the provided therefor ythe framers Of tb Constitution"
 lt doesn't seem to occur to such leaders that "tEe method provided by frsmers of the constitution" makes congress just responsible as the state cgis lures for its share adopting amendments and even SO, for provides that the threefourhs majority of the states is merely ratf" action of congress
 No matter how good the cause it isn't wise or safe to encourage congressman in shelving responsibility They prone to pass the buck" anyhow. senato- or representative should vote on federal prohibition or suffrage anything else according to his honest convictions regarding the merits Of such measures.
