Morgenthau's Message
Tells of Conditions

The State Department sent the fol-
lowing message 70 Charles X. Crane
yesterday:
"1n reply to the telegram sent TO the
American Ambassador at Constantine
pie at your request on September %,
inquiring whether he could advanta-
geously use $4,000 or 100000 at the
present time for the relief Of Ar
menians in Turkey. the department has
received a telegram from Mr. Merger
than. dated September "a, in which he
states tina, he could most advanta-
geously use 100000 for the purpose
mentioned, and while such a sum, care
fully administered, would make good
start IL would not suffice.
THE Ambassador states that the
money received would be distributed
through missionaries at Konitsa, Taurus
and Ourfa and through the American
Consul at Aleppo, and that the cond,
tion at present is simply appalling.
Mr.. Morgenthau closes his telegram as
follows; 4 implore my friends to do
their utmost 20 assist literally"

Just before the close the market raj

quotations as n basis Of reckoning,
some Of the war stocks recorded losses
Of almost fifty points from maxlmums

The decision of the odd lot dealers
TO increase the price on their pur-
chases to one-quarter Of l per cent
above the market instead of one eighth
has found much opposition among the
brokers who act for the public. Rep
resentatives of John Muir & Co., Rens-
korf. Lyon E. Co., Sheldon. Morgan
Co. and Chisholm & Chapman. have en-
tered a protest against the ruling on
the ground that it will not do wnat the
odd lot dealers claim-viz., repress
speculation.
A letter was circulated among the
members OF the exchange yesterday
asking for signatures that the ruling
be made only an emergency measure,
and that the increased margin be with
drawn as soon as the market becomes
more normal. Many declined to sign

will take independent action 10 have

attack, with heavy artillery fire which
increased 10 the greatest intensity

hoped to prepare our positions for

was getting his troops read. for the
attack along the entire front.
Under our artillery fire directed on
the enemy's points Of departure the
French were only successful at GER

forward for the attack. Wherever
they did advance they were driven

RUSSIANS STRIKE
FOE IN BUkOWINA
Make Five Assaults on Austrians
on Bessarabian Front.

Berlin, Oct. s (by wireless to Say
Vile, n. VA dispatch from Czerno-
WITT, Bukowina, reports that Russian
forces have made a violent attack or
the Austrians along the Bessarabian
frontier northeast of the city. The ~
tack is said to have been made along
the River Pruth, which the Russians
tried to cross at one place by swim
ming.
The dispatch states that the Russians
made five assaults without success, ar
many were drowned.
There has been no fighting of conse-
quence in Bukowins for several weeks
This Austrian province was taken in
large part by the Russians earlier in
thc war, but the invaders were expelle |
by the Teutonic offensive movement
which began in May.
The attack mentioned in the Berl u
dispatch apparently was made by fresh
forces advancing from the interior Of
Russia. This movement is of great III
terest in view of the present state Of
affairs in the Balkans. The point o.
the Russian attack lies directly north
of the Rumanian frontier IL has been
assumed that if Rumania should ente-
the war on the side of the Entente Al
lies junction with the forces of Rus
STA would be effected.

GOOD
WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
Mechanical Expert Of Kansas College,
Gives Farmers Advice Baseo on
Practical Experience.

"Wide.tired wagons pull more easily
than narrow-tired ones 80 per cent OF
the times when they are used" says
F. A. Writ, instructor in farm me-
chanics in the Kansas state agricul-
tural college. Professor Writ has just
completed experiments with wide and
with narrow.tired wagons.
Narrow tires pull harder than wide
tires, says Professor Writ. because the
narrow tire cuts deeper into the top
soil. The wide tire does not cut 80
deep and makes better track on roads
which are Travelled while the ground is
soft. The wide tire packs the sur
face into n firm roadbed.
The experiments show that in corn
fields, plowed fields, field lanes, and
on pasture and on alfalfa land. the
draft of the wide tire Is considerably
less no matter what the condition OF
the soil.
In places where the mud is deep
and rolls up on the wheels. in ruts
made by narrow wheels, or in a sur.
face of mud with hard ground be
meath. the narrow tire will pull more
easily. The narrow wheel fits the
rut, on the hard bottom of which II
runs. and It collects less mud than
the wide tire.
Width of tire and height of wheel
have a great effect upon the draft
The usual width OF the narrow tire
is one and three-fourths inches, while
the wide tire is usually three or four
inches wide. The tires used in the
tests were one and three-fourths and
four inches wide respectively. Six
inch wheels are used only on low
trucks. One type of wheel rarely
found is the low wheel with narrow
tire. The draft with this is SO great
that team can hardly pull load
in soft field surfaces.
A farmer who can afford only one
wagon will find many factors enter
ing into his selection. II he has to
