ALLIES BRINGING
HELP TO SERB|ANS
RAINS AND ROUGH ROADS I'M
PEDING THE MOVEMENT OF
TROOPS AND GUNS.
Germans Have Taken Offensive South
Of Riga, Capturing Large Number Of
Prisoners, While There Is a LuIl
In Fighting In the West.

Although there Is very heavy fight
ing at some points along the eastern
front as well as in the west, the Aus
tro-German and Bulgarian inyasions
OF Serbia and the efforts Of the British
and French generals to bring help to
their little ally before 1t is too late,
continue to occupy the chief attention
of the people of the belligerent coun-
tries.
The Serbians are being helped by
the weather which is cold and winter
like. The rains have set in and are
impeding the movement Of troops and
guns, which at the best must be slow
over what answer for roads in thu
Balkan states.
The Germans, however, claim to
have taken the heights south Of Bel
grade, while along the Danube the
army of General Won Gallwitz is push
ing the Serbians back.
The Bulgarians also lay claim to a
rapid advance into Macedonia, al
though the French are already report
ed to be in contact with them at Giev-
geli, while both the French and Brit
ish continue to land troops at Saloniki.
Neither Russian nor Italian assist
ance has yet developed, but the Ital-
ians have begun more vigorous Of
fensive along their frontier, and have
captured Pregasina, an important adj
vanced point of the fortified Riva

indirect aid to Serbia, preventing, as
it does, the movement of any more
Austrians troops from that frontier.
The Germans have taken the often
sive south of Riga and forced the Rus
slams out of their positions, capturing
large number of prisoners and some
guns. On the rest of the eastern front
the offensive remains in the hands of
the Russians, who are attacking west
of Dvinsk, in the center and to the
south of the Pripet river.
On the whole it appears to observ-
ers, says London dispatch, as IL the
Germans were satisfied merely to hold
their present line, except in the north,
"ASaS ShOy nave Mduc repeated at
tmpts to take Dvinsk. This would
mean the fall of Riga and would COM
pei the Russians to withdraw behind
the Dvina river. This ambition has
already cost the Germans many thou
sands of men, but they keep on try
ing, first in the north, then in the
south and then on the Dvinsk front.
At present their attacks are develop
ing the greatest force in the north.
There is somewhat of lull in Elan
ders and Champagne on the western
'front.' probably the calm before an
other storm of shells. Activity. for the
moment, has been transferred to Lor-
ralne. where the French report the
capture of trench north of Reillon,
and to the Vosges, where the Germans

BULBS FOR NEXT SPRING

II you would have rich beds of tulip
or give the beds or the corners of your
lawns beautiful springlil1e yellow or
white glow of narcissus, daffodil and
| jonquil, you must begin to think of
the early spring appearance of your
| garden in the fall, for the bulbs of
these two flowers must be planted in
the fall before the ground is frozen.
In fact, this work should be under
taken as soon as or before an early
frost has begun to make the annual
flowers in the beds look weakened. In
dealing with narcissus, which Is the
family to which the daffodil and JON
quill belong. it might be we'll to think
of trying to naturalize the narcissus
to grow and blossom on the lawn much
as do the wild flowers. How to plant
and handle the bulbs, as well as the
best method of getting them to be-
come spring residents of grassy cor
ners, are described in the following
directions issued by the bulb special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture:
These bulbs should be planted in
light, rich soil that has been dug to
depth OF at least 10 inches. The
tulip bulbs should be set inches
apart and inches deep and the mar
cissus bulbs about 10 inches apart and
5 inches deep.
II they are to be grown in pots or
window boxes, light, rich soil should
be used. Place one or two inches of
cindels or broken pots in the bottom
of the pots or boxes to insure good
drainage. After planting, place the
pots or boxes out of doors and cover
them with about four inches of ashes
or sand; or they may be placed in a
dark, cool room or cellar for a few
weeks until the bulbs have formed a
quantity of roots. They may then be
brought into the light and heat for
Towering. Keep the soil well
moistened from time of planting, but
avoid overmoistening, for If kept too
wet the bulbs will decay.
Cultivation.
~ pidHtcu III DEUS, the surface OF the
soil should be loosened after each rain
and the bed kept free from weeds
In the late fall or early winter months
1T is we'll to cover the beds with a
light mulch of straw or leaves to pre-
vent injury to the young roots from
the alternate freezing and thawing of
the soil. This mulch should be grad.
ually removed in spring, as soon as
growth appears above ground. The
bulbs are quite hardy and are not in.
tured by severe cold If the soil is
we'll drained.
Lifting and Dividing.
Tulip and narcissus plants are
perennial, and If given proper care
and grown under suitable soil and
climatic conditions will increase and
multiply from year to year. The bulbs
may remain In the ground two or
three years, OF until the clumps begin
TO crowd. After blossoming IN the
spring, from six to eight weeks
should elapse to allow the foliage 10
die partially down, when the bulbs
may be lifted with spade or fork

operators could receive the call
