amid occa sional protestations. fiery
speech, Minister of War Millerand be-
ing the particular object of his wrath.

cluded with a demand that Miiierano
be replaced as minister of war.

premier declared that Deputy Favre's
words were unjust and discouraging.
I'm time of peace as in war the gov

SENSATION N|AY|RUSS|ANS TAKE
be CAUSED BY 10000 PRISONERS
INVEST |GAT|ON|NEAR TARN0H0[

LONDON, Sept. 10.-In victories at
Tarnohol and Trembow, twenty miles
farther south in Galicia today, the
Russian defeated their German anu
Austrian opponents, taking fifteen
thousand Teuton prisoners, together
with a number of field pieces and
thousands of stands of small arms.
The victory was not followed up, ac-
cording to Petrograd advices, owing
to the lack of adequate artillery The
Austrians were pushed back as far as
the river Sereth, however, before the
pursuit was abandoned by the victor
ious Russians.
Basing their judgment on reliable
reports that the Germans are busily
engaged in fortifying and strongly en-
trenching their armies near Wilma.
together with like precaution being
taken further southwark and the slow
progress of the German center, Brit
ish military critics now feel that 3
cessation of the German offensive in
the east is near at hand, and that q
fortnight will witness the end of Sc
rious fighting in that section. Such
development would mean, it is point
ed out, victory for that faction III
the German staff which has argued
persistently against the lengthening
of German lines along the Baltic and
in White Russia The argument has
been advanced recently that further
lengthening of the German lines be
yond the border might result in the
interruption of communications with
serious results certain to follow.
French and German versions of the
days fighting in the west are so varied
as to make it practically impossible t.
get any clear idea of happenings in
northern France The German claim
that Crown Prince Frederick has made
substantial gains in the Argonne re-
gion appears to be the one outstanding
feature of the news from that theatre
of fhostilities today, with the prospect
of bitter fighting throughout the whole
western sector during the next ter
days.

CONF ERENCE BOIL
WEEv|L CALLED At
BROWNSVILLE nth.
EVERY COUNTY IN SOUTH GEOR
GIA REQUESTED TO BE REPRE-
SENTED AT CONFERENCE CON.
CERNING PEST.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 10.-An i'm
portant conference of representatives
of every county in South Georgia has
been called to meet at Thomasville al
10 o'clock Friday, September II, to
make plans for meeting and minimiz-
ing the effects of the attacks of the
Mexican cotton boil weevil.
The coming of the boil weevil t.
Georgia affects the interests of every
man, woman and child in the infested
sections. Farmers, merchants, bank
ers and professional men are alike
interested in checking its progress and
reducing the amount of damage as
much as possible.
To make plans to this end, the State
Board of Entomology, including J. D.
Price, chairman; John A. Cobb, o.
Americus, and r. G. Berckmans, OF
Augusta, and the Thomasville Board
of Trade, have called this meeting at
which every south Georgia county
should be we'll represented. A num-
Der of state and government boil wee
vii experts will be present.
Although southwest Georgia will be
seriously infested by next season,
there is no cause for grave alarm
Georgia has the advantage of the ex-
perience of the other weevil-infested
states. and can begin where they are
now. 1t will still be possible, by fol-
lowing well known and established
principles, to make good crop of cot
ton at a profit. The purpose of this
conference is to supply this informa-
tion so thattevery cotton planter will
know exactly what he must do to pro-
ect himself.
State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham
says the board is prepared to lend ev-
cry possible assistance to the farmer
in the infested territory, and among
other things will furnish a limited sup
PLY of wilt-resistant seed of early
maturing varieties, for planting in
those sections affected by wilt OF
black root.
Attention is called to the fact that
it is strictly against the state law t.
have live boil weevils in ones posses
sion or to transfer them in any man
ner from one place to another. For
the protection of cotton growers, vio-
lations of this law will be prosecuted.
