PREZMYSL FALLS
AFTERLONGS|EGE
THE BRAVE AUSTRIAN GARRISON
HOSTS WHITE FLAG OVER
oALIciAN FORTRESS.
sRtATEST VICTORY OF THE WAR
Expected to Stimulate Rumanians and
BulgarIans to Side With Allies;
$1,000 Of Garrison Taken
Prisoners.

London.-The long investment OF
the mid-Galacian fortress Przemysl
has ended. Depleted by disease, sub.
sisting on horse flesh and surrounded
by superior force OF Russians, the
garrison has surrendered to the be.
sieging army after defense lasting
many months, which UP to the present
is recorded as Austria's most note.
worthy contribution to the war.
Petrograd, London and Paris are
celebrating the event, Petroarad and
Paris in the spontaneous manner char
acteristic of these cities: London
with silent and grim satisfaction,
which is the Britons way.
The newspapers assert that the fall
OF the fortress marks the most i'm.
portant capture OF the war. not ex.
cepting Antwerp, in that 1t not only
releases considerable Russian force
which can be thrown into the fluctu.
ating struggle in the Carpathians, but
opens the door to Cracow and the
plains of Hungary.
II is argued, moreover, that the
moral effect OF the surrender will be
tremendous, the theory of the allies
being that 1t will stimulate feeling
In their favor both in Roumania and
Bulgaria just as the operations in the
Dardanelles are causing an agitation
in Greece and Italy.
Falls With Honor.
Przemysl fell with honor, the Brit
ish press comedies. for 1t withstood
the onslaughts longer than any place
during the war. the Investment. having
begun about September 16, something
more than six months ago.
The duration of the siege compared
with the length of time It took the
Germans tc capture such strongholds
as Liege, Namur and Antwerp, is due
20 two causes. one being the desire
OF the Russians to keep the loss of
life among the besieging army at a
minimum, the other to the lack OF
great guns, which the Germans had
in Belgium.
The Przemysl garrison was esti.
mated at 10000 men last September.
and last week 1t was reported that it
had diminished to $4,000. There have
been recurrent reports OF cholera and
other diseases, but these were as
vague as many OF the premature re.
ports regarding its surrender.
Nothing of great Importance has
been recorded in the western wal
zone. In the east, aside from the
fall OF Przemysl the situation around
the German port of Memel is the most
interesting. From this town the Ger
mans maintain they have driven the
Russians. while a controversy is be
ing waged by the press OF the two
countries as TO the merits OF the Rus
sian contention that civilians fired on
them In this latest incursion In East
Prussia-an act which demanded re
prisals.
There is no late news from the Dar
danelles, and the belief in England
seems to be that the operations will
perhaps be more protracted than at
first expected.

PROFIT FOR FARMERS
IN SEED POTATOES

The right kind of potatoes bring
better prices than the wrong kind,
and the right kind can usually be
grown with very little added trouble.
The right kind of potatoes is the
kind the public wants. To find out
the taste Of the public as to potatoes,
D. E. Willard, of the Northern Pa
cific Railway company not long ago
made an extended investigation-in
homes, hotels, restaurants, and com
mission houses-from Chicago to the
Pacific coast. He found the demand
was for sound potatoes, of good fla
vor, medium size, and regular shape.
He also found that such potatoes
commanded higher prices than mixed
lots of large and small, diseased and
sound, regularly and irregularly
shaped potatoes.
To grow the kind of potatoes the
public wants, then, is the thing to do,
and the way to begin is to plant the
kind of potatoes you wish to grow.
This means careful selection from the
hills, observing the following rules:
Select only from hills in which a
larger part Of the potatoes answer the
description mentioned. Potatoes from
such hills are more certain to breed
true to type.
Select potatoes weighing from five
to eight ounces.
Use for seed no potatoes grown in
fields showing a considerable amount
of wilt or rosette.
Avoid potatoes showing brown ring
discolorations at the stem end.
Save for planting no potatoes which
are bruised, cracked, or decaying, or
which show discolorations at stem end
Store away carefully in moderately
warm, dry and well ventilated place.
Treat with corrosive cublimate four
ounces to thirty gallons of water-for
an hour and a half before planting.
