of Warsaw, which forms the center
of a vast circle of 100 miles of strong
Notifications. Even the fall of the
fortress of Ivangorod, according to
these correspondents. would not mean
the loss of the Polish capital.
Fighting, described as desperate in
the official Petrograd reports, is rag
ing between the Vistula and Bug
rivers. along the base Of a triangle of
which Warsaw forms the apex. The
country there is marshy and it is pre-
dicted in London that because of the
character of the territory this cam

German resources until even victory
will be almost as costly as defeat.
The German thrust against the
French positions to the west of the
Mosselle river apparently has not eX-
tended beyond the infantry attack
which regained the trenches previous

lions probably are under way for a
further advance, as Paris reports a
violent bombardment in this region.

statement of an aerial raid on Land
guard fort at Harwich, the British
admiralty states that a German sea-
plane and an aeroplane flying at
great height were pursued by British
airmen and forced to drop the bombs

CITY LOT PAID.
Philip Greaser Marketed 10 Crates
of GOOseberries.

Does city lot horticulture pay?
Ask Philip Greaser, living at 1928
Union avenue.
Mr.. Greaser this week marketed the
last of 10 crates of gooseberries, all
produced on seven city lots. He paid
two cents a box or Is cents a crate
for having the berries picked, and sold
them for So a crate, so after paying
the pickers he had $167.20 for his
time and labor on the seven 25-foot
lots.
The bushes of the Houghton variety
were planted two years ago last
spring. Last year he gathered Sc
crates from the immature plants, and
sold them for 50 a crate.
Gooseberries have an advantage over
other small fruits in that there is al
ways a good market for them. Pro-
ducers are less dependent upon a local
demand, for gooseberrieS will ship and
arrive in good condition at greater dis
tances than any other small fruit.

Nebraska Farm Boy Throws Cham

Omaha, Neb., July 6.-It took Joe
Strecher, the Nebraska farm boy, just
Is minutes to put the shoulders of
Charles Cutler, of Chicago, champion
wrestler of the world, down on the
mat Monday night for the first fall
and in another ten minutes the young
farmer sent the champion to the mat
for the second fall. He used his ia

The victory of Strecher may cause
Frank Gotch to return to the mat.
Joseph Coffey, for the Chicago Athle-

between Strecher and Gotch to be
fought in Chicago. Gotch, who was
present, refused to comment but his

cept the offer. Strecher himself chal-
lenged Gotch to a match within so
days.

ENGLAND's MIGHTY LOAD.

1t has always been said that England is
at her best when things are at their worst.
The British nation is now being put to
the most tremendous effort in her history
Chancellor of the Exchequer Mckenna has
introduced the greatest war budget in the
worlds history. Nothing so gigantic has
ever been heard of before. 1t is hard to
realize the stupendous figures of the finan-
cial burden. For the first time the great
nation is forced to set the free trade flag
at half mast and resort to revenues by
taxation. Think of it; a 40 per ent in
come tax is to be levied! Under this in
crease an income of $4,000 year will
pay an annual income tax of 81, 645. The
income for the year 1917 from all sources
will be 81 100000, 600 Against this is an
Expenditure of 81, $50, 600 900 At the end
OF the year Britain will face debt OF
more than $12OOO,O00O and the sec
ond year Of the war has only just begun.
/ The navy is costing $9OO,0O0,0O0 a year,
the army So, 100000, while external
advances, which include loans and gifts to
other countries, have already reached the
enormous total of S2,100,0000
/ 1t has been so easy for critics to say that
England has not borne her share in the
war. Yet the figures don't show it
When one considers that her navy has
given the allies unlimited command of the
sea and without which the war would hav,
been lost to the allies long ago, and wheI
one considers the stern resolve will
which the British nation is facing thi
great burden of debt, there is but one con
clusion. England is doing her full share
