TUETONS TAKE PRZEMYSL.
Austro-German Armies Accomplish
Main Object i'm Western Galicia.

London, June 3.-With the cap
ture of Przemysl, accomplished early
today, the Austro-German armies
achieved the main object of the great
thrust they commenced against the
Russians in Western Galicia 4 month
ago today.
They have yet to drive the Rus
slams farther back and establish
themselves in easily defended posi-
tions. which will enable them to de-
tach forces for operations against
Italy and the allies in the west.
Whether or not they accomplish
this, the Teutonic allies have won a
great victory and with a suddenness
which overshadows all past opera
tions of the war. 1t was only ten
weeks ago that Przemysl fell to the
Russians after a six months invest
ment. which was interrupted for a
short time in November by an Aus
trian advance.
With the surrender of the fortress
there fell into the Russian hands,
according to official reports, 10000
Austrians and six hundred guns and
an immense amount of war material.
Most of the forts, however, had been
destroyed by the Austrians, and this
is considered in military circles here
to account for the fact that the fort
ress succumbed so quickly to the
Austro-German attack.
When the Russians captured Pre-
mysl they were pressing the Austria
across the Carpathian passes. Then
on May came the news of a great
Austro-German drive into Galicia.
Advancing slowly but surely and car
rying 1000 guns, the Teutons COM
pelled the Russians to fall back un-
til the Russian line ran to the right
bank of the River San. Crossing the
river, the Austro-German forces pro-
gressed to the north and south Of the
fortress, and on Tuesday Berlin an
nounced that three forts to the north
had been stormed, while Vienna stat
ed that the railway between Pre-
mysl and Lemberg was commanded
by Austrian guns.
There still was hope in the allied
countries, however, that Russian
counter-offensive would hold the in
vaders off, but this proved i'll found
ed and today the Russians had to
give up the city, which, earlier in
the war, had cost them so dearly to
win.
There is no estimate of booty cap
tured, but it is fairly certain that the
Russians, having lots of time, got
away as many men and as much ma
terial as possible and destroyed the
guns and ammunition that remained.

LITTLE KNOWN OF RUSSIA.
Opportunity for American Commerce
in Dark European Country.

1t is remarkable how little Amer
leans know about Russia" observed
D. L. Hough. an American who has
spent the last four years in that
country, says the Washington Post.
1t is the least visited Of the Europ-
can countries, although the number
of tourists has increased considera-
bly, in recent years. In fact, more
than two hundred self-called ref
ugeeS assembled in the first days OF
the war in Petrograd in order to be
near and secure the protection OF
the embassy.
Russia lacks a great middle class.
such as is the strength of all civiliz-
ed countries, but its upper class is,
perhaps, better instructed and in its
social relations and in its customs is
quite as exquisite, if not more so,
than that of any other country; its
court is the most stately in the
world.
The great lower class might be
compared to what the English call
the masses. 1t is more rugged,
healthier and far less vicious than
that of any other country. In the
larger cities a healthier middle class
is fast developing.
THE lack of education among the
masses may be in part responsible
for the scarcity of material out of
which skilled labor may be trained.
In these days of automatic machin-
cry this is less of an obstacle in the
development of manufactures, while
for all physical labor of the common
type the Russian is equal to and,
perhaps, better than men of any 9TH
er race.
There is little produced in Rus
sia that this country needs, but there
is much produced in this country
that Russia needs. We want to sell
to Russia, and success in trading
with the Russians will depend upon
whether our manufacturers put on
the counters of Russia the things
that the Russians want. 1t was in
accommodating itself to its custom
er's ways of doing business as we'll
as to it's customers wants, that Ger
many was conquering the world COM
mercially. If we are to make any
impression on Russian commerce we
must accommodate ourselves to the
Russians ways of doing business"

POLITICS IN PRISON.
"Roughnecks" Win Over the silk
Stockings" in y. Y. Prison.

The political division Of the prls-
oners at Sing Sing which calls itself
"roughnecks" won an overwhelming
victory Monday, at the election or 3S
members to the board of delegates
the controlling body in the Mutual
Welfare league, which governs the
internal affairs OF the prison, says an
Ossining, y. y, letter.
Speaking broadly, the rough
necks'' are those who are in Sing
Sing for crimes OF violence, and their
opponents, called the silk stock
ings," are there for crimes of cum
ming. Putting it in another way. the
"roughnecks" for the most part are
those without early advantages, who
drifted into crime. while the silk
stockings" are educated men.
Notwithstanding that the rough
necks" are present at Sing Sing in a
great majority, they have been out OF
power before this election. Some
adroit lawyers and financiers in the
prison had built a political machine
there, the main object of which was
to make themselves comfortable and
to procure for themselves more and
better food. While the Mutual Wei
fare league theoretically is a democ-
racy, the smart men who got control
of it made it work for their own per-
sonal advantage.
There was one big banker who had
made himself power in the league
by promising others that he would
do much for them in the future when
they got out Of Jail. When he was in
the meridian of his political sway he
even had some of the guards and
keepers taking orders from him.
There were certain lawyers and 9TH
ers who had played politics in the
outside world who would make fic-
titious issues in order to divide SEN
timent of the "roughnecks' along ar
tifcal lines. These tactics had kept
the silk stockings" in power here
tofore.
Controlling the Mutual Welfare
league, these men intrigued to get
themselves appointed for merit to
the semi-official posts which entitled
the holders to seats at the prison
keepers mess, where the fare is con-
siderably better than that of the Or
dinary r:soner.. At one time there
were more than 100 in the prison
keepers mess. AS the food supply
trat goes into Sing Sing is fixed
quantity, when there is an increase
in the guests at the keepers mess,
the rations of each of the other pris-
oners is reduced proportionately.
One of the major reforms of the
rev board, it was predicted. will be
the liberalizing of the bench
The triumph of the "roughnecks' )
probably has insured the continu-
ance of the institution of trial by
fights with boxing gloves in the case
of certain petty offenses.

Wealth OF the Air.

Scientists tell us that above every
acre of land there is, reckoned at
present prices, 100000 worth of
atmospheric nitrogen. At this rate
the man with a hundred-acre farm
has $1,100,0O0,000 worth or enough
to build two Panama canals and have
enough left to build dozen modern
battleships; enough to supply every
man, woman and child in the United
States with $11 each; or enough to
a little more than half pay for our
annual whiskey and tobacco bills.
Are you using this wealth? Are
you changing it from an inert un-
used possibility into liquid asset?
Are you turning it into real money a
goodly share of these potential mil
lions?
Both foreign and American manu-
facturers are now, by the use OF
powerful electric currents combining
this free atmospheric nitrogen with
certain materials and thus render
ing it available as a plant food. This
is a great discovery; but for plain
Farmer Jones we don't see anything
as yet to compare with Natures way
which is through the bacteria that
live in the little knots or nodules on
the roots of peas, beans and the va
rious clovers.
From September to April is a
period when our lands are usually
idle: moreover, it is period when
they are too often washing away.
But these busy little bacteria work
ing on the roots of bur and crimson
clover and the vetches, are putting a
new face on the soil fertility prob
lem. No longer have We any busi-
ness buying nitrogen in bags, when
we can get it free with a lot of hu-
mus to boot.
If you doubt this turn under a
crop of clover or vetch this spring
and follow it with corn. If we're
not mistaken you'll he surprised at
the yield that corn will make, and
the way it will stand drought will
bring JOY to your heart in these days
or high-Driced feed.
But clovers and vetches are not
the only plants whose roots furnish
homes for our bacterial benefactors.
Cowpeas. peanuts. soy beans. velvet
beans and pedeza likewise are nitro
gen gatherers. and no Southern farm

these to the utmost will be living up
to it's opportunity. ty.-Progressive Far

say further about this type is that
the date of it's going into action is
very near.
But, remember, I said there were

hear, methinks, on the street sound
Like the tread of horses ring,
And it seems to me that can see
Those danes dismount so gracefully
At the house of Mistress King.
For they declared they would not pay
For the tea taxed SO heavily;
And whatever the friends of the Crown might
They'd fight the tax in this their way,
Henceforth they'd drink no tea.
And Mistress Barker, rising first,
Signed boldly forth her name;
And other ladies', fair and tall,
Like Mistress Johnson, Clayton, Hall,
Gave their names, too, to fame.
And far and wide the tale was told,
How the Edenton danes Stunned tea;
And Englishmen from DER the sea
Said Chow can we deal with folk like these,
When such their women be?'
Long, long ago into the past
Those danes are gone-and still
Whene'er, where'er the tale we learn,
With fervor must our spirits burn
And our hearts and pulses thrill.
