First Raid Made on May q.
London has been visited previous
ly by German ~dirigiblesE during the
war. On the night of May 81 zeppe-
Inns made an attack on a district de-
scribed in the official communication
merely as "in the metropolitan area"
On that occasion about ninety bombs
Were dropped. Four persons were
killed and a few others injured.
The latest raid is the third of the
series of aerial attacks, which after
a lapse of several weeks, began on
Monday of last week. On the two
previous occasions twenty persons
We're killed and th~irty-seven injured.
Atmosphere Hampers Defenders.
The statement given out by the Of
fetal press bureau said:
.Zeppelins visited the eastern coun
ties last night and dropped bombs.
Anti-aircraft guns were in action, and
it is believed that n Zeppelin was
hit.
Air patrols were active, but ow-
ing to the difficult atmospheric con-
dition the Zeppelins were able to es-
cape.

Berlin, Aug. 10 Thy wireless to Say
yiEle).-The following announcement
was made here officially today:
"The fortress of Koyno, together
with all the forts and an amount of
wal material, which has not been de-
termined, has been in German hands
since last night. More than 400 can
non were taken. The fortress has
captured by storm in spite of the
most tenacious resistance by the Rus
sians.o
Serious Blow to Russians.
Military experts have agreed that
the loss of the fortress of Kovno
would be a serious blow to the Rus
slams. The critic of the London Times
in an article published this morning
says: III the enemy succeeds in re-
ducing Koyno and is thereby able to

Falls Sooner Than Expected.
The official German statement Of
yesterday announced the capture of
the forts on the southwest front OF
Kovno, together with $500 prisoners
and 240 guns. This was interpreted
foreshadowing the fall Of the fort
ress proper, but its accomplishment
speedily was hardly expected The
famous German general, Field Mari
shall von Hindenburg, personally took
command Of the army attacking Kov-
no.
Kovno, capital of the Russian PROV
ince of that name; Is on the right
bank Of the Niemen. It is a fortress
of the first class. Tho civilian popu-
Iation Of the city is 3 thai 5000.

central Teutonic forces into a con
solidated line from the Baltic prov
inces to Galicia. Kovno is a unit of
a line of fortresses running from the
Niemen south and east, connected by
railroad. On this line ore Gradno,
Brest-Litovsk and Lutsk.
Thanking Peril Faced.
The capture Of Kovno raises the
question whether the Russians will
b cable to retain this line, or whether
they again will be compelled to make
a general retreat.
Retention of the remaining posi-
tons on this front might expose the
Russians to the danger of a thanking
movement. The next line to which;
they might be expected to fall runs
from Wilma, about fifty miles east of
Koyno, through Ida, B~aranoyitshi
and Pinsk to Rovno. This is about
800 miles long.
The rapidity of the German advance
since the fall of Warsaw on August
8 is indicated by the fact that they
are within thirteen miles of Brest-
Litovsk, which lies 115 miles east of
the captured Polish capital. The line
to which they may now be compelled
to fall back is about 200 miles east
of Warsaw.

rounding the fortress proper, at an
average distance of two and one-half

number. The town lies for the most
part in the fork formed by the juno

Europe Backs Uncle
IN a New Movement
For Peace in Mexico

Washington, d. C.-The Pan-Amer-
lean appeal to all Mexican leaders
and factions to restore peace, backed
by European powers, will be publish
in the United States in tomorrow
mornings papers. 1t will be given
out tonight by the state department.
Then will follow a period of possibly
10 days or two weeks of waiting Of
momentous importance to Mexico, for
it will determine If the country has
among its leaders men capable Of
restoring her sovereignty and consti-
tutional government without outside
aid.
Brief, and couched in terms of
friendship and helpfulness, the appeal
contains nothing, the Pan-American
conferees believe, which patriotic
Mexicans can resent. It is rather
Expected to reassure them Of the dis
interested intentions of the American
nations and probably even soften the
attitude of General C~arranza.
Last Word Sent carranza.
The final copies of the appeal were
going out today by telegraph, cable
and wireless. Those to be delivered
by Latin American Legations and
consular officials in Mexico City went
forward last night.
Today the copies for General Car
rama were going by wireless to Vera
Cruz, to be delivered by American
Consul Silliman. Through the vars
ious missions OF the United States
and the other American republics
scattered through Mexico, the appeal
lis expected to reach all the chiefs,
leaders and governors in the various
states.

Bucharest, German army corps have
been concentrated near the junction

artillery at many points along the

Here IS Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some. very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
{ This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear, r.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many. of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and SO sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless. the ef-
feet Of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of it's remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like new person. Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy is sold by leading
druggists everywhere with the positive
understanding that your money will be
refunded without question or bubble if
ONE Bottle fails to give you absolute
salts faction.

SUCCESS FROM FERTlLIzING.

The success from tertilizing is due to
two facts, the readiness with which
the fertilizer gives up It's nutrient parts
and the ability of the land to hold these
nutrient parts and keep them from
being washed away before taken up.

Zinc Arsenic as an insecticides.

Zinc Araenite as an Insecticide.
Zinc arsenite has been used both In
the paste and powder forms with much
success for the belted cucumber beetle,
as we'll as for some other insects of
this class. 1t has proved to be one of
the most effective sprays for use in
humid climates. as it appears to last
longer. No other arsenical has given
better results, and in the majority Of
cases the mortality has been higher
than with any other arsenical spray.
The powder, when used with cactus to
make it-adhere, is to be preferred for
general use over any arsenical now on
the market. This spray surpasses In
lasting qualities any OF the arsenicals
and at the same time gives a higher
mortality. In action 1t is somewhat
slower than paris green. but It gives
better results In the end. Zinc arsenite,
however, should not be used on plants
that are nearly ready for market, for
the poison does not wash off easily.

, Do not follow the idea that when
planting trees you should put fertilizer
at the bottom of the hole. Plant your
tree, and when within about two inches
Of the top place your fertilizer and cov-
er over with soil. The rain will wash
the essence down to the roots.
The same practice can be followed
with established trees. Care should
be taken that the fertilizer does not
touch the bark or roots. Remember,
trees take up food with their fbrous
roots, and fbrous roots usually are
near the ends Of big supporting roots,
and tree roots usually 60 as far out
ward as the branches extend. F..
This tells where to apply fertilizer.
It does no more harm to feed your
trees, ETC., once year than it does to
treat yourself right. The old, foolish
argument that forest trees are not
fertilized will seem more foolish If you
give it a second thought.
There is no reason for broadcasting
manures in the vegetable garden, It is
wasted energy. Apply manure to each
hill or row, with dirt between it and
the seed. This gives the greatest re-
suits for the least expenditure Of time
and money No need to feed weeds. !:

TREE A GIGANTIC 1 PUMP.
One Elm Found 70 Raise 2eo earrsl

u " I F.- r
one Elm Found TO Raise 26o Barrels
81 Water Day.
Professor Pierce tells Of Washing
ton elm which possesses 100000
leaves exposed. q foliage surface Of
five acres, which gives of to the air
2oO barrels Of water every summers
day. and that this tree Is located near
paved streets and cement sidewalks.
The question arises, Where does this
vast amount Of water come from? It
Is assumed that many city trees perish
from lack Of water owing to water
tight pavement and water tight side
walks.
In answering this question It must
not be forgotten that the roots Of any
tree, especially the elm tree, extend q
long distance. thus encroaching upon
the lawn soils adjacent, the sidewalks
and the streets T.
1t must also be remembered that
there are many snbterranean springs
existing In cities and towns as well as
on farms.
/ Notwithstanding these explanations
we wonder at the capacity of this big
tree to gather moisture to its roots,
partly rooted over by city pavements:
It illustrates the fact that there is
much yet to be learned about root
growth and tree growth generally.
After being told that one tree throws
into the air 26O barrels Of water every
summers day we may get some idea
Of the reason for the GOODNESS of the
air in the forest or beneath shade trees
growing in the field or upon our lawns.
Shade trees are indeed more productive
Of GOODNESS on q summers day than

The state forestry department
through Il. NJ. Ross of Burlington and
r. NJ. Gibson of Rutland have decided.
upon the locations for three shelter

lumber mill, about three miles south of
the Mount Horrid pass from Brandon
TO Rochester.
These shelter houses viii be OF the
Adirondack cleanup type and about
10 by II feet in dimensions They viii
be constructed Of legs cut on tho prem
ises, watertight roofs being made of
boards. No attempt viii be made at
present to leave blankets in the shell
tiers but it is designed to do this later
when the people in the backwoods are
educated as TO the care of public prop
