CAPTURE OF WSTULA
LINE SIGNIFICANT 7
Greatest Success Of War and
Accomplished With Only Part
of Forces.
BY J w. T. MASON.

NE" YORK, Aug. 6.-Todays fall Of
1vangorod Is only the military complete
ment OF yesterdays evacuation Of War
saw. The two victories themselves are
but part Of the greater campaign which
has for It's objective the obliteration OF
the Russian feld forces.
Although the capture of the Vistula
line Is not an end in itself II is by far
the greatest success OF the war, and
must be named with the supreme mill
tary achievements of all history The
immensely Of the accomplishment is due
to the fact that the miracle has been
worked with only a part Of the Ger
manic power.
Germany Is holding England and
France in check and Austria is pre-
senting an impregnable front to Italy
Yet. both powers have enough excess
strength to capture the principal mill
'tary strongholds Of the slavs. This is
What makes the Germanic victory rank
almost with legendary combats of
ttans.
Purpose of Campaign.
London's belief that the Germans now
will concentrate IN the west for a new
drive toward Calais will probably prove
to be unfounded. The all-controlling
purpose of present Germanic strategy is
to force Russia out of the war. 1t
would be more short-sighted for Berlin
and Vienna to abandon the eastern Of
fensive now than It would have been to
quit the east after the capture of Lem
berg.
The depression of normally pessimistic
Slavs grows greater with each Teutonic
victory. Lack Of ammunition does not
explain the continuous Russian retreat
since the lst of May. The friGhtful
strain of the years lighting undoubtedly
has begun to undermine the Slav
morale. ard 1t Is legitimate for the Ger
mans to believe they may cause Russia g
Allies Prepared.
The French and English lines cannot
be pierced with the same amount OF
| pressure that Is being used in Poland
In fact. it is doubtful whether by any
| possibility they can be seriously broken
at all. The British and French trenches
are far better prepared and better
| manned than Is the Russian front.
There 8 nothing publicly known about
the western situation that might en-
courage the Germans to hope for a VIC
tory.
The western allies have been saving
their ammunition since the eastern
drive began. in order to meet a possible
German offensive against themselves
They are rested. and are admirably pre-
pared for defensive combat That the
Germanic armies. therefore. should cease
| their Russian offensive just as the Slavs
are half beaten. and attempt a new
battle of Flanders in the west it is I'M
possible to believe.
To force a separate peace from Russia
will probably continue to be the Kaiser g
dominatns purpose.

sow ALFALFA IN EARLY FALL
Al Danger Of interference From
Weeds IL Avoided--Plant 10 Not
Very Vigorous AZ start.

A great many people who SOW al
falfa in the spring complain that the
weeds take IT," They do in a greAt
many instances. Weeds and alfalfa
will not be able to occupy the same
ground One or the other must gain
the upper hand in short order. and
the weeds are the more enduring and
the harder to conquer. As q conse-
quence the alfalfa is smothered out
by them, and along In the middle OF
the summer you hear another man
proclaiming that alfalfa is no good.
Weeds have caused more alfalfa
failures than sour lands, wet soils or
poor seeded preparation. The danger
is particularly great where the seed
ing is done in the spring. Every
weed seed in the soil is fighting for
air enough and warmth enough to
sprout, and after II sprouts Il viii
fight for room enough to make Its
growth. Alfalfa is not a particularly |
vigorous plant in its first few days of
life. and Il Is the first few days that |
count in the growth Of alfalfa versus
weeds.
On account Of the danger from In
reference by the weed crop, II is
usually better to SOW alfalfa in the
fall, or in late summer. It will be
time and money saved to put In the
seed in the summer following Of the
land, stirring the soil enough to keep
down each successive weed crop. The
soil stirring will not only get rid OF
the weeds that have come up, but
It will stimulate the remaining seeds
that are lying in the soil to germina-
ton and growth. In this way several !
successive seedlings of weeds can be
disposed of and the ground left fairly
clear for the summer or fall seeding
of alfalfa
Winter or early spring blowing will
go a long way toward preparing a
good seeded for the fall sowing of
If the ground needs 1t, turn
under considerable quantities Of ma
nure when It is broken. If lime is
needed, this should be spread before
the blowing and turned under so 1t
will have a chance to thoroughly mix
with and sweeten the earth.

ment that vigorous action Is necessary

Senator Hoke Smith long ago fore
saw the impending danger. and he has
protested ever since against the action OF
Great Britain. Senator Smith SAYS that
our grievance against Great Britain is
much greater than our grievance against
Germany. He Is ~championing the cat

The cotton situation is declared to be OF
much more concern to the planters and

warded to the Secretary Of State and "a
