COLD WEATHER SP0|LS GOOD PROSPECT
FOR APPLE CROP IN wayne COUNTY

Continued cool weather has caused
prospects for a bumper apple crop to
diminish rapidly within the last few
weeks. according to Steven Kuth, we'll
known fruit grower.
The ground in orchards is covered
with apples which have fallen from
the stem. Cold weather, Mr.. Kuth
said, prevented the forming of heal
thy joint between the apple and the
stem so that when the fruit increased
in weight it dropped to the ground.
Wayne county's peach crop will not
be good There are few peach trees in
the county, and the few there are
show little prospect of bearing much
fruit.
Although retarding the ripening OF
strawberries, the damp weather had
not injured the berries, which are
large and full and need only a few

warm days to make them ready for
the market in large, delicious quanti-
ties.
Raspberries and blackberries, which
have just finished blooming, are in
excellent condition, said Mr.. Kuth,
with every indication of splendid
crop, which could only be marred by a
long drouth within the next three or
four weeks.
Wheat and oats are in good con-
dition, but corn is suffering some for
lack of warm days and nights. Al
though the corn is onl" three and four
inches high in most places in the
county, and has stood at that height
for about two weeks, Mr. Kuth says
the grain has been forming an elabo-
rate root system which will enable 1t
to grow faster when warm days come.
A few hot days. he said, would send
the stalks shooting upward like magic.

 There was little sign of violent emo tion- Men and women, boys and girls and even little ones, bereft in many cases of all their loved ones, shook with sobs. but made no outcry as they beheld their dead. Some few collapsed. But of the thousands who through the night and day visited the armory, not more than 100 needed aid.
 Through the night load after load of bodies was received at the morgue, and through the hlorning at less frequent in- tervals the procession continued.
 Early tonight less than 100 bodies were left in the armory.
 Many bodies bore no sign of struggle. Calm and still their faces lay upturned and uncovered to aid in identification.
 In the Red Cross room there were many scenes of sorrow so deep as to bring tears to the eyes of those who ministered to the afflicted. One woman well along in years kept repeating( All gone-husband son, his wife and their two children" ," Time after time she said this, but no tear fell
 One man bowed with years screamed and struggled with those about him when he saw the bodies of his wife and children.

 Plan For Huge Army
 Army plans look to the building up of ar army of 500.00 men, regulars and militia, within territorial United States. This long has been the figure at which army officers placed the country's need. To make the plan efficient it is believed some scheme to federalize the militia will be ad- vanced, and also that methods of build- ing up army and militia reserves will be proposed. Enlargement of West Point may be proposed
 This general plan contemplates it is understood, on the mobile forces. The coast artillery garrisons for the canal zone Hawaii, the Philippines, Alaska and Porto Rico will be considered separately.
 Army officials hold that ample equip ment of field guns, rifles, machine guns and heavy field ordnance must be prepared in advance. It takes time to make these ana also to manufacture big gun ammuni- ton.
 Field gun ammunition and small arms cartridges can be turned out In a hurry. It is said private plants to make these have increased many fold under the stim- ulus of European contracts. A year ago the government owned 50 per cent of the total American capacity for this work. It now is estimated that private plants could make in a month as much as govern ment shops could turn out in four months

 "In the Montenero zone our advance continues along the crest of Luzinica. On the Isonzo front the enemy sought by night attacks, all fruitless, to trouble our works and positions we had conquered. Yesterday morning the enemy also at- tempted an advance in force against our right wing occupying Carso, but fell back, suffering heavy losses. According to or ders found on an Austrian officer, taken prisoner, the attack we repelled July 22 was of a general character intended to throw back our left wing occupying the region this side of the Isonzo.
