GERMANY SHOWS ST.
As Seen in Germany.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.


(Unitsd Press STAFF Correspondsnt)
Berlin, July 29.-In the western
campaign Germany met new condl-
tions of modern warfare and over
came them before her enemies were
able to do so. In the eastern war
area old conditions of fighting have
prevailed throughout the twelve
months, and Germany again has
shown that she is as skillful with the
old as with the new.
The more valuable territory which
has fallen to the German arms in
this war is Belgium and northern
France. These conquered districts
are far more wealthy than are the
captured Polish and Baltic areas.
Yet, without doubt, the chief glories
of the German armies have been won
in the east Germany is proud of
the years magnificent record in the
west, but it is the march of events
in the east that thrills the German
people to their very souls. In popular
Imagination, the might of the Rus
sian Empire was the most disQuieting
fact of the war.
This belief was encouraged by the
general feeling that if Germany were
to hold her own in the great war,
France must be overwhelmed before
Russias mighty millions could be
mobilized. But Russia came on be-
fore France was overwhelmed. Ger
many had to meet her enemies on
two fronts at once. The people or
the Empire trembled last summer as
Russia's hordes crept further and
further into East Prussia while the
campaign against the western allies
was yet to reach it's height. Germany
was not afraid of the western cam
paign, but the fact is privately con-
fessed that the Germans did fear the
outcome of the Slavonic rush.
Created Confidence.
Then, almost over night came the
news that the battle of the Mazurian
Lakes had been fought and had re-
suited in one of the greatest vic
tories for Germany in all history.
Seldom is a nation thrilled even in
wartime as Germany was thrilled by
the news that Marshal Won Linden
burg had cleared East Prussia of the
invaders. Nothing that has happen
ed since and nothing that is likely
to happen will equal in Germany's
estimation the brilliance of Won Hin
denburg's success. Until the Ma
zurian battle, Germany was not sure
of herself. Won Hindenburg gave
confidence to his country and dem
onstrated so absolute superiority
over the Russians that the fear OF
Slavs vanished as light dispels the
terrors OF the dark. Won Hindenburg
turned the light on the Russians and
they are now the chief inspiration OF
the contributors to Germany's hui

upon both domestic and foreign bills. Much the greater part of the $54 900 of acCeptances which were recently an- nodnced by President Sabin represent do- nestle bills and this explains the differ ence between the report made by the Ma tional City bank and that made by the Guaranty Trust. The deeper significance in these large figures is found to be in the fact that they represent large volume of domestic business transactions.
 The Best News
 The best news which has come to this city within a few days contains the prom ise, allowing for favorable weather, of greater harvests than were ever garnered in the United States. And there is no disagreement among the leaders in the opinion that the first requisite for con- tinued and healthful activity In the United States is the harvesting of crops of such magnitude that we may be able. to meet the great demands which will surely come to us from abroad and still hHve abun- dance for our own people.
 Colonel RoosefeIt and the Libel Suit
 Within few days the Suit for dam ages on account of alleged libel by Colone, Roosevelt which was brought by William Barnes, recently chairman of the republican state committee, will begin at Syracuse. The req sons are good for inc ferring that this will furnish something of real spectacular interest. Colonel Roosevelt is to be represented as de- fendant by the same counsel whom he em- ployed to prosecute the suit for libel which he brought against Michigan edi- tor two years ago. He will be ably de- tended and his counsel have already given diigent study of the case that they may fully meet their responsibilities
 purely technical and legal question will arise which the court itself must pass upon-namely, did the statement made by Colonel Roosevelt of itself con stitute, if untrue, libel. The colonel accused Barnes substantially of having joired hands with the leader of Tam many Hall. Charles F. Murphy, with in- tent through this secret coalition, to maintain a corrupt government Does that constitute libel or is the statement not well within the privilege of political opponent?
 However, Colonel Roosevelt does not in- ten6 to rely upon legal technica1ties. The lawyers who are familiar with some phases of this case are persuaded that he will plead justification, or in other words, insist that the charges are true.
 The. sensational feature of the trial will probably be found when MT. Barnes is upon the witness stand It is the belief here that As xin bs cross examined hx

Barnes as politician, no one gainsays his intellectual ability. He has inherited from his grandfather, Thur low Weed, much of the skill and intel lectual finesse which characterized that great politician of an earlier day. John M. Bowers as a cross examiner is thought by many lawyers to be the true sue cessor of Judge Fullerton. who in his day was esteemed the subtlest, most adroi. and most insinuating of cross ex- aminers at the New York Rar. Moreover, MT Bowers is a man of xreat legal att tairments.

SPRING GARDEN SERIES, ARTICLE NO. 8

Radishes, lettuce, beans, beets and
tomatoes are all comparatively easily
grown vegetables which give satisfac-
tory returns in the spring garden. The
u. S. Department of Agrlculture's
specialist recommends these particul-
arly for use in school gardens which
are run for the benefit of the children.
Not only teachers, but others desiring
to raise these truck crops in their OWL
home gardens may benefit from these
suggestions:
Radishes- Radishes are hardy plants
and thrive best during the cool wealth
er of early spring and late autumn. In
the South they can best be grown dur
ing the winter and early spring
months. The seeds should be sown in
drills, in rich, well-prepared soil, plac-
ed about half an inch apart and buried
not deeper than l inch nor less tn n
one-half inch When the plants are
showing the second set of true leaves
they should be thinned to stand from
2 to inches apart in the row
Lettuce-Lettuce is a hardy plant
and thrives best during early spring
and late autumn. The seeds should be
sown in drills in the open or in boxes
in the window. If in the open, the
seeds should be scattered about one
half inch apart along the row, and
covered not more than one-half inch
with earth. Firm the earth we'll over
the seeds, so as tot bring the moist
soil in contact with them. When the
plants are we'll up, thin to 6 inches
apart in the row. If the seeds were
sown in window box, hotbed, frame,
or greenhouse, transplant the young
plants to stand by 2 inches apart as
soon as the seed leaves are well ex-
panded, and when they begin to crowd
transfer them to their permanent
places in the open if the weather will

permit. In the field, they should stand
at least inches apart each way.
Beans-Beans are tender plants
They can not endure frost and will not
stand transplanting well. 1t is best to
wait and plant the seeds of this plant
in the open where the plants are to
grow, delaying the work until severe
frosts are past. Plant in rows foot
apart, placing the seeds about 2 inches
deep at intervals of inches. Keep the
soil loose and free from weeds.
Beets-Beets, while they are hardy
and can be planted at the same time ae
radishes and lettuce, require longer
season for maturing. The seeds should
be planted in rows 1 foot apart, placed
an inch apart in the row and covered
l inc deep. When the plants are well
up e inches high, thin to inches
apart in the row. Keep the soil well
titled at all times.
Tomatoes tomato is the most
exacting of all the plants in the collec-
ton. From Washington southwark tbs
seeds may be planted in the open al
the same time as beans, but to the
north of this point the seeds should be
sown in boxes, hotbeds, or green,
houses from the first to the middle ot
March, the young plants being tras
planted to stand by 2 inches apart as
soon as the first true leaves appear
When they begin to crowd in theil
new positions, shift them to 4-incf
pots or to cans such as are used BY

Of NATIVES
OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Like all primitive people, and some
that are not so very primitive, as
we'll, the native Hawaiians have
many superstitions in which they
firmly believe and which they care
fully conceal from the haoles, or
whites, says a correspondent of the
San Francisco Chronicle. No matter
how long they have been civilized,
or how much thev have associated
with Caucasians, deep in the hearts
of every one of them are strange be-
liefs and traditions, and not anything
in the world can shake their faith
in these age-old bits of folklore.
They are, of course, very interesting
to the stranger, once he gets on the
track OF them, for they have a set
ting that is peculiarly their own,
and they are therefore not quite like
the superstitions of any other peo-
pie in the world.
Many of them relate to the men,
bers of the royal family, the devo-
ton of the common people to the
ruling class being one of their most
marked characteristics. The climate
of Hawaii is, as every one knows,
+ very warm the twelve months Of the
v-"~ and showers, sometimes heavy
|ownpours, occur daily, yet a thun-
des orm is very rare phenomenon
here, not clap being heard for
years at a time, or a streak of light
ming glimpsed.
The newcomer expects in vain to
sse an electrical storm, the soft,
warm air breathless and still, being
exactly the same sort which precedes
such manifestation of nature on the
mainland. When one does occur,
however, the native population IS
much disturbed, for they believe that
it portends the death of one Of the
royal line. They wall and shake
their heads and are greatly cast
down over the end that is surely
coming to one of they dynasty they
feel certain. BY strange coincidence
1t is often true. Several times at
least in the memory Of white inhabi-
tants, a furious electrical storm
manifested itself shortly before a
ruler or prince or a princess
passed away.
When the beautiful Princess Kaiu-
lani, whom as a child Stevenson
knew and loved, lay i'll, it lightened
