CHECK GERMAN 0FFENSE
Indications Are That Teutonic Power
of Attack is Weakening-Shortage
Of Ammunition Hampers Troops.
STUBBORN RESISTANCE BY sLAVS
BY J. w. T.. MASON.

New York, Aug. 17.-The German
offensive against the Russians is be-
ing effectively checked at both flanks
and indications are abundant that
the Teutonic power of attack is weak
ening.
In particular, Marshal Won linden
burg, who commands the northern
army in the present drive, is failing
to do the work assigned to him. The
Russians have rallied in exceptional
strength against Won Hindenburg,
not only because he threatens Rige
and the entire Baltic, but also because
he would be in a position to isolate
Petrograd if his plans are allowed tC
mature.
Germans Hampered.
Shortage of ammunition is unques-
tionably hampering the Germans. No.
voc GOergievsk and Kovno continue
to hold out against the Teutonic as
saults, although neither fortress has
the resisting power which they should
have to successfully resist the Ger
man onslaughts. The principal
reasons for the more successful de-
fense of the Russian fortresses is un-
doubtedly the Teutonic difficulty CT
obtaining sufficient shells.
The Germans are unquestionably
storing a large part Of their new AM
munition to resist a possible Anglo
French offensive in the west The
Galician drive and the capture of
Warsaw used up most of the winter
and spring accumulation of supplies,
and not even German manufacturers
can produce shells as quickly as they
can be shot away.
Waiting for Shells.
There must be long intervals Of
comparative inactivity to permit the
war factories to catch up with the
field artillerists. One of these per-
iods is now taking place among the
Germans in Russia. They are wait
ing for more shells and, at the same
time, they must subordinate their de-
mands to the necessity for increasing
the reserve supplies along the west
arn hatt1afrOnt
The Russians must be given high
praise for the stubborn fighting quali-
ties they are showing There is no
evidence of decentralization in their
ranks; and if the eastern conflict is
to be fought to finish it is becom-
ing apparent that the Teutons will be
near to exhaustion themselves at the
end. The Slav genius for defense
rather than offensive warfare has
never been better exemplified than in
the present campaign.

"A lawbreaker may be prosecuted

prosecuted by the federal government,
the charge would be dealing in liquor

Jurisdiction over such prosecutions.

money MADE out Of peanuts.

In Farm and Fireside Harry B. Pot
ter writes suggestive article entitled,
why Not Grow Nuts?" in the course
of which he describes the various nut
crops grown in the United States and
the profits to be made out of them. In
regard to the peanut he writes in part
as follows:
"The second most important nut in
the United States is the peanut. Sci
entifically the peanut is pea. and
not a nut. But popular opinion has
classed it as a nut because of Its
flavor. Like the English walnut, the
peanut didn't become important until
about 1870. though it had been known
for long time before.
THE peanut is now grown all
through the southern half of the Unit,
ed States. and the 10000, 900 bushels
raised in 1909 last censusl were worth
about $1S.000,O0o. The popularity of
peanuts is due to the ease of shuck.
ing and the low retail price. The
early age at which the American pub.
lie learns to love this nut also helps
to explain perhaps its remarkable
popularity"

In three historic years-observes the
National City Bank, of New York, In
a circular to customers-a great wheat
crop in the United States, coincident
with an unusual foreign demand, has
furnished the impetus for prosperity
here. The years are: 1878, when big
wheat exports easily tided the country
over resumption of specie payments;
1891, when, in spite Of the Barring
failure Of the year before, which de-
moralized financial England they pro-
duced our boom Of the succeeding
year; and 1898, when, after several
years of almost continuous gold exports
and hard times, they reversed the sit
uation and initiated the most remark
able expansion the country has ever
known. And by some hyperbole we
may say that wheat saved our lives in
1914, for the big exports of that cereal,
more than any other one thing, straight
cnted out our foreign exchanges and en-
ahled us to recover from the muddle

Today was the last day for the pay
ment of taxes in the city and City
Treasurer Steinmetz and his assistants
were ready for grand rush on the tax
window, but it failed to develop. In
fact few people called to leave their
cash and get their tax receipts. A

letters carried cash. Many Of them
had checks Of three and four figures.
These letters were dumped into the bas-
ket and before the end of next week
the treasurer hopes to be able to get
out all the tax receipts. 1t is not
thought that the amount of outstanding
taxes after the checks have been ere
dited up will exceed a few thousand
dollars and much of this will be I'M

War Makes DOGS Homeless.

The annual British dog tax of s1,S5,
which fell due on New Years day, has
set an unusual number of dogs adrift
The reason is the war, with SO many
men at the front and so many depen-
dents behind. English people are ex-
tremely sentimental in regard to ami
mails, and the protecting act passed
three years ago imposes a maximum
fine of 500 sor six months imprison-
ment on any one convicted of aban-
doning a dog. This year. the senti-
mental feeling for the homeless dogs
has taken the form of appeals to the
press for individuals to ransom the
dogs and give them to the troops as
mascots, and also of printed leaflets,
which have been scattered among
householders, pleading with owners
not to turn their pets into the street.

FUTURE OF PLANT IN DOUBT
Last Stock Taken UP was Held by Els
tate of Adolphus Busch Big Chicago
Street Buildings Will be Placed on
Market if Favorable Price is Offered.

G, E. Remer, president of the NJ. FL.
Petit Mailing Co., announced today
that he had completed the work of
buying up all Of the outstanding stock
of the pioneer Kenosha company. Mr..
Remer is now the sole owner of the
stool, of the corporation. Way back in
the year 1873 when the Petit Mailing
Company was re-organized portion of
the stock was sold to Adolphus Busch,
the famous ST. Louis brewer This
stock had been held by the st. Louis
heirs of the great brewer until few
days ago when they consented to ac-
cept an offer for the sale of it and with
the stock held by more than dozen
other people it passed to the control
of Mr.. Remer.
When seen at the Offices OF tne com
pany today Mr.. Remer said: eyes, we
have completed the work of buying up
the stock of the company and it is all
now in my possession. The last of the
shares of the stock have just been re-
ceived from the heirs of the late
Adolphus Busch of st. Louis. I am not
able at this time to make any state
ment as to the future Of the Kenosha
plant. We are now buying and sell
ing malt, but none of it is being made
in Kenosha, but we are using the of
fees of the company here and part Of
the building for storage. If the build
ing could be sold to an advantage I
would sell it but if not I may use if
for manufacturing purposes.
The big plant has been idle since the
fire of March of last, year. This fire
resulted in damage to the plant and
contents in excess of 100000. All the
insurance on the loss was paid some
time ago and it was thought possible
that there would be a reorganization
of the company, but since that time
the stock has passed into the hands
of President Remer.
Mr.. Remer is interested in several
lines of business but he is maintaining
the name of the NJ HI. Petit Mailing
Co. Few companies in the country
engaged in the manufacture of malt
has had SO high a standing with the
business men with which they dealt and
for this reason there has been hest
fancy to give up the old name and the
old business. President Remer has
been the practical head of the company
for SO many years that the taking over
of the stock is in no way changing his
direction of the plant.
Kenosha people and especially those
