Spanish Laborers
 Flock To France
 To Get High Wages

Madrid, July 2s-Thousands of Spanish 1aborers have emigrated to France since the beginning of the war, owing to the scarcity of labor there and the consequent high wages offered. As result there is such 8 scarcity of agricultural labor in Spain that wages are three times those paid a, year ago.
 The emigration to France has been encouraged 'by French agents. who are recruiting laborers both male and female for the agricultural districts in south and central France. Industrial leaders here believe that the emigra- ton will continue after the war, and may cause a serious dislocation in the labor market here.

Rome, July 2s.@The following of fife statement was issued last night
 at the headquarters of the Italian staff:
 .'In the Alone valley we now are in
 full possession of the heights on the right slope, having occupied Monte LaVanesch and the Pissona crest
 From points dominating the opposite slope the enenny's artillery attempted to hinder our operations but without
 success. After a. long artillery fire the enemy attacked with several de- tachments of infantry during the
 night of the 26th. Although sup ported by numerous mechine guns
 the troops were repulsed.
 t'In the Monte Nero region, the struggle continues unabated notwith- standing fog which prevents the ar til1ery from assisting in the opera tions. At Playa the second opera ton undertaken to enlarge the bridgehead is developing favorably.
 sOns the Carse Plateau, the battle continued yesterday. Our troops ad-
 vanced along the whole front with
 great dash >and boldness. conquering towards the left wing a strong posi-
 tion on San Michele commanding the
 greater part of the plateau. After
 being subjected however, to a, violent cross-fire from the enemy's artillery of all caHbres our forces were obliged to fall back below the crest where
 they are maintaining their positions. On the center we progressed towards San Martino, carrying with the bay onet trenches and a redoubt covering it. On the right wing. by the perfect timing of an infantry advance with the Iisupporting fire of artillery, we com pleted at nightfalI the conquest of a position on Monte DeI, driving out inch by inch the enemy who was strongly entrenched there.

STOCK MARKET

New York, July 2S.-Opening-The spirited buying movement was con- Gnued with the opening of the stock market today. The highly favorable quarterly report of the United States Steel Corporation was reflected in a heavy demand for that stock, which opened with a block of 12.0Oo shares from 65A to, 66, as compared with yesterdays close of 5 1s. Later it ad- vanced to 66 A, the highest since the suspension of the dividend. Railroad shares retained their newly developed strength, with Eastern roads the par ticular favories. New Haven gained 2z and Pennsylvania 5Reading and Canadian Pacific one. Among the war stocks there was a. further rise. Bethlehem Steel rose IS points to 262 and Crucible Steel 5st<4o 521s, both new high records.
 Noon-Prof1t-taking sales caused recessions after the first advance, but a subsequent rise in war mhnition shares carried up the whole list again. Continuance of bul1ish reports from the steeI>and iron industries and the closing of new contracts were instru- mental in causing large speculative purchasing of particular stocks. Re- vivaI of outside interest in railroad shares was an active bu1lish factor. Buying of carriers was based on pros poets of good earningsFfn connection with tho favorable crop outlook and activity in certain manufacturing ir1- dutsries. Bethlehem Steel added 22 points to 4tR gain of yesterday, sell Ing at 269. ,Crucible Steel rose 10 points kn55 haa aSS zsQpds eEes sstrpnE.

Summary
 OF THE Var News

The severe fighting on the Ital- ian-Austrian frontier which has been going on for approximately a week, shows no signs of let up nor is there any clear indica- ton of a Sdefinite outcome. The Italian official reports continue to claim a succession of either ad- vances or the holding. of the Aus trians in check.
 The Austrians, who are con- testing every foot of the Italian advance with stubborn deterniIla- ton, have lost 3,2O0 prisoners to the Italians, according to an of fetal statement given out in 5 Rome.
 Tn addition to the capture of Warsaw, the immediate objective of the German-Polish campaign of the past two weeks, the troops of the German empire evidently are making a special endeavor just now to cut communication between Warsaw and Petrograd with the purpose of preventing the successful retreat, if Warsaw falls, of the Russian army now defending that city. To this end are directed their operations north of Kovno, according to despatches from Petrograd as well as their advance upon Brest-Litovsk by way of CheIpa and the right bank of the riger Bug. The issues still are undecided with the R Russians claiming temporary advantages
 Observers in Petrograd are watching today with particular interest three points around War saw where the German naneu- vers are regarded as of especial Importance. These are the opera tions on the left bank of the Narew, to the north of the Polish capital; against the town of CheIn, to the southeast, where possession of the railroad is the point at, issue, and along the Bug The Germans according to Rus sian official reports, have brought up enormous reserves but never theless, the Russian authorities say, the troops of the Emperor Nicholas have taken the offensive successfully at several points
 The German attacks along the 5 Narew have been checked and along the Bug the Russian sol- diers are holding firmly. On the other hand, German troops under Field Marshal Von Mackenzen have made progress toward the Lublin- Chelm railroad.
 In the southern area of Russian Poland, between the Vistuia and the Vieprz, the operatieps would appear ohave reached a tenn porary standsti11. As an offset to this inactivity the Germans are widening the sphere of their hos- tilities toward the east.
 Captain Eugene Delk, of the American steamer Leelanaw, sunk by a. German submarine of Scot. land July 25, reports from Aber-= deen that he and his crew were treated with the utmost courtesy by their German captors.

GREAT WALLS OF PEKlNG UNDERGO
 RADICAL CHANGE
Republican Government Dis cards Superstitions of
 Ancient Rule.

Picking. July 2s.-The great wall which as surrounded the City of Pc king for many centuries is undergo ing an unusual change. Picking is laid out in a symmetrical form with nine gates leading through the great wall Each side has two gates except the front, where an extra central gate the Chfen-men-leads directly into the Forbidden City, the central encio- sure of Picking. This Chien-men, or front gate, is the most seriously crowd
 ed with traffic; and yet tradition up to the present day has never permit ted it to be enlarged nor any other gate to be broken near it in order to relieve the congestion of rickshaFs5
 and heavy laden human beasts of bur den-coolies.
 The present Republican Government is by no means so superstitious as the
 old exclusive Manchu regime, but Yuan shi=Ka1 must take into consid- eration the superstitions of the peo- pie. The gate through which for
 mer Emperors passed in and out oE Picking was opened immediately after the Republic was esta,blisheds but only a few days after f had been thrown open to the public a mutiny of the
 troops took place in Peking and much i of the town was footed The cause Of the calamity was laid to the credit
 of the newly opened gate, whereupon 1 it was immediately closed and has
 never since been swung upon it's hin-
 ges.
 Since the Republic has been well ss- 1 tabIshed, a number of changes tn the minor inner walls have taken place. notably two new gates having been broken in one of these inner walls and as no calamity has befa1len the City the government is now making bold to relieve the congestion at tho Chien-men by breaking two new gates through te great wall
 The wall is forty or fifty feet high and forty or fifty feet thick The work is difficult task because the
 excellent mixture of cement of for mer days has fastened the bricks like | stone together with remarkable firm ness. It is expected that the sections l of another smaller wall will be found
 within this large wall, the smaller one
 probably being that which Marco Po-
 To described in the account Of his
 visit to the famous capital of Kublal Khan

 When the territorials ran up to complete their triumph by taking the aviator prisoner they were greeted with a voIley of strong language un- mistakably English. When the aerial navigator gave further proof of his identity as a British army aviator he tconanding officer of the territorials attmpted to assauage his wraht by pointing out that he had served not only as the means of testing he shoo- ing of the territorials, which is not held in the highest respute, by the cit Izens of South End, who have suffered grievously from air raids, but had proved that an aeroplane could be brought down by rifle fire.
 But the aviator refused to play gracefully the role of vicarious tar get and departed swearing vengeance.

INSECTS ARE THE
CORN ROOT LOUISE

Some days ago j. F. Hayes, Route 6,
Baraboo, sent samples of an insect
found eating the roots of his corn, to
the Agriculture Experiment station at
Madison for Identification. S. B. Frac-
ker, instructor in economic entomology,
writes that the insect is the corn root
louise" (Aphis- madi-radicis.) Among
other things Mr.. Fracker says:
1.-THE State Entomologist of Illinois
says that this insect is now the most
generally injurious pest of the corn
field in that state. Fortunately, it thus
far has not made great progress north
of the Illinois line. There is no assur-
ance, however, that it cannot live in
this latitude, and we can simply hope
that it does not make progress in the
region. It is too late to do anything
this season. Continued and repeated in
jury may be prevented by certain
rather we'll known methods. The root
lice may be easily destroyed in early
spring by early blowing of old corn
fields to depth of six or seven inches,
followed by repeated deep disking as a
preparation of the ground for corn. The
plant lice are carried about by corn
field ants, and anything which will keep
the ants from forming nests will be of
advantage. Frequent rotation of crops
in which corn always follows some
other crop than corn, is the most valu-
able method of prevention of this in
jury.
