portunity to show that the present in
ternational situation was uppermost in
their minds. President Wilson, cheered
on his arrival and departure and dur
ing his address, carefully avoided any
direct reference to problems now facing
the United States. He was enthusiast
tically applauded when he declared the
greater days lie before this nation
than it has ever yet seen, and the SOL
emn consciousness Of those who bear
office in this time is that they must
make their best endeavor to embody in
what they do and say, the best things
in the United States"
The President sat in the midst of
veterans Of two wars, during the exer-
cises and uttered an audible amen
at the conclusion Of an invocation by
Bishop Earl Cranston, who prayed that
the United States be led Alright in the
present crisis. The President said dur
ing his remarks:

In Splendid Health

1t was remarked by the Senator's
friends that he appeared in splendid
condition of health and strength for
a man approaching his 72nd birth
day, to say nothing of his long ILL
ness in 1913 and 1914, which was the
cause of much alarm to his relatives.

ship. Senator Burleigh, before he
left home, told his friends that he was
going 20 Johns Hopkins hospital in
Baltimore for an examination, and he
did. In 1913 he lay for four months
in this famous hospital. able to take
food only from spoon for weeks and
weeks.
At Johns Hopkins hospital the Sem
ator was examined by DR.. Hugh
Young, the surgeon who performed
four operations upon him while he
was a patient there, and also by "a
specialist on the heart, lungs and kid
neys. In conjunction these two emf
nent men of the world of medicine
and surgery declared that the Sena-
tor was in remarkable state Of
preservation for man of his years,
sound in every part of his body, and
evidently in proper condition to COM
pete with the record of his family
for longevity. despite the fact his
father lived past the Goth birthday
and all the BurIeighs have enjoyed
full years.
Upon his return to Washington
from Baltimore the Senator was con-
graduated by his fellows upon his
complete recovery and his promise of
health and strength for many years
to come. He met many friends and
associates before his departure, talk
ed with scores who had business with
his committees and while thus active
held his strength from week to week
as easily as when as young man he
sat in the Governors chair at the
Maine capitol.
Always a lover of the great out
doors, as all Maine statesmen are
bound to be, Senator Burleigh was
seen almost every day riding in Po-
tomac or Rock Creek park and de-
clared upon leaving for Maine, look
ing very strong and well, that he was
not the man to lose single oppor-
tunity to get out into Names life

PROVES HIS FITNESS


Washington, d. c., May 29.-(Spe-
ciaD.-Senator Burieish left Washing
ton last week and started for Massa-
chusetts and Maine. For more than
two months previous to his departure
he had been in Washington closing
with various departments the business
which is under his supervision. He
was especially active at the Pension
Department, where he has had in hand
great many pension cases, the final
adjustment of which required many
hours of his time.

Oakland, Me-, May 31.-Sen-
ator Charles F. Johnson, in his
Memorial Day address here to-
day, took the position that this

being caught unprepared in case

London, May 31.-1o.40 p. M.-The
great battle on the San, to which the
Russians fell back after retreating over
half of Galicia, still RACES, but the
Russians assert they have assumed the
offensive. This statement is taken in
London to mean that another mighty
German effort has expended itself.
Though the fate Of Przemsyl Is still
uncertain, it is contended in all circles
that the Austro- Germans have failed
Of their purpose to crush the Russians
in Galicia, and that their rush forward
cost, as it did thousands Of lives, has
fallen short, just as did the repeated
thrusts at Warsaw and Calais.
The official statement issued tonight
by the Austrian war office makes no
claim Of any noteworthy advances in
the East, dismissing the Przemysl re-
gion with the brief declaration that the
fighting continues" and asserting that
there have been no serious engage
ments elsewhere on the eastern front
The Russians on the other hand,
claimed victories virtually along the
entire front, especially beyond the
Dniester, where they say they have
taken 1000 prisoners.

TO SPREAD OR PILE MANURE
Answer to Question Is Largely One Of
Location-Much Loss Sustained
by Broadcast Scattering.

CF3y. ALVIN KEYsER, Colorado Experts
ment Etation)
The question frequently arises,
Should manure be spread thinly over
the land in winter when It Is hauled,
or should 1t be dumped in piles to be
scattered in the spring? The answer
to the question is largely one Of loca-
ton. In great deal Of Colorado ter
ritory the winters are dry. with dry,
very windy springs. Where such con-
ditions normally prevail scattering
manure broadcast on the land during
the winter means that the manure will
dry out and frequently be blown
away by the first heavy spring wind
storm.
Dropping in piles to be hand scat
tered later saves a part OF this loss

where winds are not a menace. OIL
where conditions permit disking the

From the standpoint OF labor. drop

the standpoint of saving the manure

PUT WARFARE ON NEW BASIS
Use OF Field Artillery at creey Marked
the End o. the MaIl-cIad
Fighting Man.

OF all the worlds great battles
Crecy possesses unique interest. The
English used only three pieces of field
ordnance. They were small cannon
made Of trees, bored, and bound with
iron hoops, and the missiles were Of
stone, scarcely larger than baseballs.
Doubtless this rude artillery made far
more noise than 1t affected damage.
It was the Iongbow and the broad
sword that won the battle, but never
theless guRpowder was henceforth to
play an everincreasing part in the
strife OF nations.
Explosives wrought a vast change
in fighting methods on land. for many
of the old-time weapons were rendered
quite useless in face Of death-dealing
ball and shot. Warfare afloat. too,
would be revolutionized Hitherto the
lighting ships had been largely car
riers OF soldiers in order to board and
fight, as on land; whereas the time
was at hand when ships could be rid

crews coming into actual contact.
