is expected that 4 German civil regime
will be set up in place of the Russian

Western Wool Graded.
1t was very apparent that the shorter
woods. which are now so common in
the western states, cannot be passed
over tables for skirting and rolling
nearly as satisfactorily as longer
woods. They can, however, be graded
to remove the necessity of opening the
bales before they reach the mills. This
work of preparing wool by improved
methods was keenly watched by many
Of the wool growers in the surrounding
country, and 1t Is estimated that the
entire cost of the experiment was fully
paid by the lesson it furnished DE- the
value OF breeding sheep for better
wool production. The flock masters
often showed great surprise when. for
and for the first time knew what grade
Of wool they actually produced. Here
tofore most growers in reading market
reports have been prone to note quota
tons for the highest grade and value
their clips accordingly.
The woods graded and baled at
Wamsutter shed were offered FOR sale
by sealed bids on May 4, but because
OF the difference between buyers and
growers ideas of values, no sales were
contaminated. Since the selling OF
wool was not general at that time,
there could be no current quotations
with which to compare the prices re-
ceiyed for better prepared woods with
those received. for others of similar
character and quality put up in the old
fashioned way. OF course this expert.
ment this year win not suffice TO am
swer the question as to how Tar the
western wool growers can prpfitably
proceed In changing methods OF pre-
pairing wool. Some alterations DIR modi-
flcations of this years work may be
suggested when these woods reach the
mills. This years step. however. has
been in the right direction. and wool
producers throughout the United
States will watch with interest to
learn the prices received for this bet.

BANKERS ASKED TO
HELP MOVE CROPS
LETTER rs ADDRESSED BY FED
ERAL RESERVE BOARD TO
TWELVE REGIONAL BANKS.
Action Taken to ForestaIl Any Pos
slblIlty Of Confession Of Crops This
Fall or Lack Of Financial Accom-
mediation to Move Them.

Washington.-Prelim plans de-
signed to make available the resources
of the federal reserve system in the
annual fall movement of crops have
been worked out by the federal re-
serve board. Writing to the twelve
regional banks, the board pointed out
in a letter made public Monday how
members of the system may help to
finance the crop movement.
The boards action was taken, the
letter says. to forestall any possibility
of congestion of crops this fall or lack
of financial accommodation to move
them and to avoid a recurrence of the
stringency which in the past has
marked this movement
Although the board applies its plan
to wheat, corn and all other cereals,
it devotes most attention to the cot
ton crop. which, it says. is peculiarly
sensitive to abnormal conditions, such
as now exist in the export trade.
Usually the crop movement has
been taken care of by government de-
posits in banks or the issue Of emer-
gency currency under the Aldrich-
Vreeland act, which expired last
month. In place of these agencies, the
board states, there is ample authority
in the federal reserve act to meet the
situation this fall.

RUSSIANS WHILE WITHDRAWING

Il is Not Certain That Russians Can
Make Good Their Retirement From
Warsaw, an Germans Are EndeaV-
orlna 70 Cut OF Retreat.

The anniversary Of the outbreak OF
the war was passed without the Ger
mans occupying Warsaw, which was
understood to be part of their pro-
gram. However, news of this climax
to the Austro-G German offensive in the
east, which was begun early in May.
is hourly expected, for what little in
formation is allowed to leak through
is to the effect that the Russians for
several days have been Withdrawing
to the Brest line. leaving small forces
to fight rear guard actions, so that
the main armies might make good
their retreat.
These rear guard actions have de-
veloped at many places into fairly
large battles, as the Russians, whose
steadiness has been phenomenal in
the face of defeat, are offering stub
born resistance to the German adj
yances and delivering powerful coun-
terattacks. For example, they have
prevented Field Marshal Won linden
burg from throwing more of his troops
across the Narew; repulsed German
attacks to the northwest Of Warsaw
and driven back to the river some OF
the invading troops who crossed the
Vistula to the south of Warsaw. a
1t is not certain whether the Rus
sian armies can make good their re.
tirement from Warsaw, Certainly the
Austro-Germans are doing their best
to prevent it and have moved up very
strong achievements to hasten their
encircling movement. The appearance
of fresh troops also suggests that thu
German star will not be satisfied with
the capture Of the city or even the de
struction of part of the Russian army
hut, should this be accomplished, will
break the Brest line and finally try
to crush the entire Russian force.
Meanwhile the Germans, who ap
pear to have an inexhaustible supply
of munitions, are lighting desperately
to retain every position which they
hold along the western front. They
have recaptured part OF the trenches
which they lost to the British neal
HODGE and are making an effort to re
gain what they lost to the French il

Paris. Pope Benedict has made an
appeal to the warning nations to end
the war which has been in progress in
Europe for the past twelve months.
In his appeal he says:
When we were called to succeed to
the apostolic throne of Pope Plus x,
whose upright and exemplary life was
brought to an end by the fraticidal
struggle which broke out in Europe,
we, too, felt-after gazing fearfully
upon the bloody battlefeld-the de-
spair OF q father who witnesses his
home torn asunder and ravaged by q
furious tempest.
We thought, with inexpressible sor-
row, of our young sons cut down by
death; we felt in our heart, enlarged
by Christian charitableness, the great
unspeakable sadness of mothers and
Of wives made widows before their
times. and the tears OF children de.
prived too soon of parental guidance
Today, on the sad anniversary of the
terrible conflict. our heart gives forth
| the wish that the war will soon end
: We raise again our voice to utter q
/ fatherly cry for peace. May this cry
dominating the frightful noise of arms
reach the warning peoples and theiI
chiefs and induce kindly and more Sc
rene intentions.
In the name of the Lord God; iE
the name of the Father and Lord II
heaven; In the name of the blessed
blood of Jesus-the price of the re
demption Of humanity-we implort
the belligerent nations before divin,
providence forthwith to end the hor
rible carnage, which for year hal
been dishonoring Europe.
This is the blood Of brothers that i
