period of the statute of limitations by
former directors of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford railway, II of
whom are now on trial charged with
criminal violation of the Sherman law,
was described to the jury today. The
testimony adduced to prove it marked
the second time thus far during the
trial that the governments case abs
entered this vital period.
The alleged violation consisted of
the approval by the board of directors
in 1912 of a proposition to acquire
open control of the Merchants &
Miners Transportation Co. and to
establish a freight line from Bos-
ton to Galveston and through the
Panama canal when it should be COM

Turkey and Bulgaria Are
Alarmed Over Recent
Activity,
GREECE INTERESTED
Outside the Balkans Most
Important Operations
Are in the East.

r ONDON, Nov. l2.-(9:2O p. No.
L. The continued landing of Brit
lsh and French troops at Salonikl IS
causing some uneasiness to Bulgaria
and Turkey and the ministers OF those
two powers today again protested to
the Greek government, which took
formal notice of their protest.
The determination of the entente
sllies in their Balkan campaign is
shown by the large force they are
sending to the i~llkins, and news was
received from Rome today that Italy
also had decided to intervene in TINS
region "in a manner worthy OF her
greatness" and to give sufficient sup
port to the British and French to as
sure complete triumph This Is
said to have had some influence on
Greece and Rumania. Rumania how
ever, is waiting for the developments
of the Russian plans
Meanwhile the Austro Germans and
Bulgarians are advancing slowly in
their efforts to cut off or annihllate
the Serbian army. These efforts
however, are growing more difficult
as the Serbians now have occupied,
according to their official report, de-
fensiye positions south and east of
Kralievo and east of Ivagnitza and on
the eastern front on the left bank of
the southern Morava where heavy
fighting is in progress, Big battles
also are proceeding in the south be-
tween the Bulgarians and the Anglo
French but the reports are so con-
fictng that it cannot be said which
side has gained an advantage.
On Eastern Front.
Outside the Balkans the most i'm
portant theater of operations is now
along the eastern front In the north
the Germans apparently have aban-
doned any hope of reaching Riga and
Dvinsk at least until the ground
freezes and are falling back or are
being driven back from the Dvina,
which was their objective.
The Russians in the Riga region are
attempting an outflanking movement
and their recent successes have
brought them within striking distance
of the Tukum- Mitau railway, which
connects the German fighting front
with the fortress of Windau.
The Germans also are falling back
before nvinsk as the result of the Rus
sian offensive near Lake Swenton
while in the south General Ivanoff
has continued to harass the invaders
by repeated thrusts which, during the
past five weeks, according to Petro
grad dispatches, have brought him
nearly 1900 prisoners, In the most
recent of these thrusts near Rudka
the bag totalled six thousand, many
of whom were Germans.
The Italians keep up their often
sive en- both the Trentino and Isonzo
fronts and are making another effort
to take Gorilla, which has withstood
them for so long.
On the western front heavy artillery
bombardments are again beginning in
Artois but with the present rain
soaked condition of the ground this
can hardly presage another offensive.

Wheat After FalIow.


At the Rothamsted experiment sta
ton in England wheat has been grown
continuously and also alternating with
fallow for fifty-cight years. The rec
ords Of the station have the following
to say regarding the work:
1T will be seen that the produce Of
wheat after fallOw is considerably
higher than when it is grown continu-
ously, III bushels against 1927 bush
els per acre, but II reckoned as prod
uce Over the whole area, half in crop
and half in fallOw, the whole area
grows much less Of both grain and
straw than where the crop is grown
year after year on the same land. A
given area of land would therefore be
more productive when cropped every
year than IL the crop were alternated
with fallow. The superior yield Of the
portion in crop after a following may
in some degree be attributed to the
greater freedom from weeds, but IN
the main it is due to the production of
nitrates from the humus Of the soil
during the summer when it is fallow,
a process which ~ much stimulated by
the stirring it receives and the conse-
quent aeratiOn. The success of a fall
lowing depends upon these nitrates re-
naming for the succeeding crop. They,
may be entirely washed away by heavy
autumnal rains"
