Closing In on Kovel.

The Stokhod river. upon which the
Teutonic forces retired along the whole
line from Ugli as far north as Nobel, is
the only fortified line now separating
the Russians from Kovel. This new
line of advance upon Kovel has extend
ed to what has commonly been known
as the Lutsk breach to a front of
seventy-five miles, along the whole
width of which the 1ercest struggle is
now proceeding.
The hasty character of the Germans
retreat has led to the conclusion here
that the Germans have insufficient
forces to nnake a serious stand in this
quarter, where a Russian attack was
not expected, and the Stokhod line may
go undefended.

Amazed at Russ Strength.

1t is betraying no secret to say that
the German leaders have been aston
ished at the recuperative powers of
the Russians and their freely flowing
reservoirs of both men and munitions.
Time after time 1t seemed as II the
Russians must be nearing their last
resources in shells and reserves; time
and again correspondents at Austrian
headquarters reported that the Rus
sian troops were losing their vim and
striking power, only to chronicle
dav or two later a new onslaught with
fresh troops, freely supported by ar
tillery.
Notwithstanding the various Russian
gains, which, when marked on the map
of the eastern front, make a compare
lively small showing for such a colossal
expenditure of blood and iron. no uneasi-
ness is manifested here. The general Of
fensive on all fronts simultaneously has
compelled the Germans to discontinue
their favorite railroad strategy. but the
strategic defense which the Germans
have deliberately chosen on the eastern
and general western fronts has so far
proved adequate to hold up the entente
allies offensive and has not interfered
with the continuance Of the German as
sault against -Verdun To such an extent
| Is this true that the Germans still retain
| the strategic initiative and show no in
dcation of relaxing their grip on the
great French fortress.

Reports Repulse Of Russians.

The Russians have made further violent
attacks on various sectors of the front,
but the war Office statement of today
says were beaten back with large losses.
The announcement follows:
Army group OF Prince Leopold--The
Russians repeated several times their
strong attacks against the portions of
the front mentioned yesterday. The
attacks again broke down, with heavy
losses for the Russians. In the fighting
of the last few days we have captured
two officers and 631 men.
Army group of Gen. Won Linsingen-
Russian attacks at several points were
unsuccessful.
Near Melodechno bombs were drop
ped freely on troops awaiting trans
port.

German Eyes on East.

BERLIN, July 9, via London, July 10
The eyes of Germans Just now are turned
toward the eastern rather than the west
ern front. The weight of the first on
slaught in the west is believed to have
been fully estimated and. in spite Of what
ever surprises British strategy still may
have in store, public and expert opinion
here is confident of the outcome 1t is be-
lieved that the Sixth Army and reserves
have the situation well in hand on the
Somme front and that nothing can inter-
fere with the progress of the Verdun
campaign.
In the east, however, a great general
offensive has burst forth all along the
wave of Russian flesh and steel is rolling
against the Teuton dyke which stretches
across the Russian provinces. Thrust fol-
lows thrust in constant succession and
no sooner do the Germans succeed in wall
ing the advance at one threatened point
than another menaces.
The most striking results thus far
manifested have been seen in the
leadership and distribution of the
forces of the central powers, rather
than in the actual movement of the
contending armies. With the exception
group at the extreme southern end of
the line. the Austro- Hungarian units
are everywhere interwalled by Ger
mans. who have furnished reserves to
bolster up particularly threatened
points.
At the very outset Of the Russian
offensive Gen. PfanZer detached divf-
sions to relieve the hard-pressed Arch
duke Joseph Ferdinand. and his opera
tions now are mainly directed to the
defense OF the Carpathian forests and
the passes into the Hungarian plain.

WHAT SCIENTIFIC FARMING MAY ACCOMPLISH

acre he possesses, if he sincerely wants to and is willing to go at it the right way. Whether he can do so at a profit, under present market conditions, Is another question. In many cases it can be done and with a big increase in profit. I know, because I am doing it. am regularly putting more fertilizer and more labor on five acres Of ground than my predecessor on this farm put on forty acres. And I am regularly getting a better profit eff the five than he averaged off the forty. I am pro- ducing more dollars worth of crop from five acres than he averaged from forty, at a less cost for the production of same dollars worth.
 But do not say that this can be done by every farmer on every five or forty acres. Very likely there may be cases where it couldn't be. Soils diff fer: market conditions vary: individ- ual farmers are unlike in aptitude and capacity.

Unfortunately. the too many times manifested desire of German govern ment officials to put the best face on a rather bad situation by coloring facts a little rosier than their natural hue makes it scarcely safe to accept all their statements and all their reason ing. But, as the years compared by Herr Helfferich were all before the outbreak of the war, and the statistics for them must have been compiled and published without any immediate temptation to falsify the returns, they seem to have a real claim on credence.
