Ie" pleCeS or cloth TOT SnOeS, unaDle to speak, with barely strength left to stop near a dying horse and cut stringy steak from its flank, straight en up for a moment near one of the women's carts and smilingly tender their last mouthful of food to some of the women.
 The treatment of the women on this dreadful retreat was to me the most wonderful, the most moving, the most heroic part of the whole retreat. These poor women in their flight from their homes, had in many cases, been unable to bring enough clothes to GOV CT themselves. Often they were with out stockings or underskirts, o" hats or shawls or cloaks. I have seen time and time again some freezing soldier take off his overcoat and force it upon some of these women. and seem al- most ashamed to look upon her shiy- ering body as he made the offer Then he would search along the road for hours until he was able to strip some dead man of his clothes to replace that which he had so freely given"
 What Haller regarded as his most remarkable experience was the sight of a mad soldier dying from starya- tion. Clothed only in a ragged un- dershrt, he was running barefoot down a snow covered Albanian road straight as an arrow, believing as he ran" he said "He ran on and on down that road, seeing nothing, yet wonderfully avoiding stumbling over the bodies of other dead and dying soldiers and the meat stripped car casses of the army horses which blocked the way Suffering intensely as I myself was. l turned and watched this strange figure. At last a half mile down the road he pitched for ward and as l passed him later I saw he was stone dead.
 "Other than that incident there is one other that will stick in my mem ory so long as I live said Haller. "This was the hanging of Serb mo ther by the Austrian troops before I was made a prisoner. We were marching across a rough country near Lochnitzer, when We stopped near q wayside hut at its spring to get a drink Colonel Heill, of our regiment, also went to get drink. As he rose from the spring a shot came from the hut. That shot was fired by a wo- man. She stood at the door, an old shotgun in one hand, a baby in the other
 One of the captains ordered her hung. There was nothing else to do but execute her, As a rope was placed about her neck and she was led to the nearest tree, all she said was this. in a hard, cold voice: My husband is a soldier I, too, die for Serbia She made no appeal. She did not cry out. We left her body hanging there in the wind, The baby was picked up and sent to the nearest prison camp to be cared for"
 Through the efforts of Robert Have rick, representing the United States among the Austrian prisoners, Haller was rescued from starvation at Du- razzo, and later Ambassador Page, in Rome, interested himself in the case. q am going back home the best Am erican citizen you ever say" declared Haller.

PATHETIC SID [
 IF WAR

ROME, Italy, March 30. - Henry Haller, formerly of the Fifth United States cavalry. who was one of the few Americans in the Serbian retreat, de- clares that during the journey to Por- goritza. in Montenegro, in a four days snowstorm more than fifty thousand men died.
 They died so fast" he said, that they fell every few yards all along the road. The wagons and carts went right over the bodies Nobody thought of trying to turn out of the way, but there were so many they could not but drive over them. The roads were full of mud holes At one place I saw no 1 less than seventeen horses dying in one immense puddle, unable to pull themselves out.
 "I saw hundreds and thousands of ragged men with their feet swollen | too much to wear shoes or to walk on them, crawling along for miles on their hands and knees through the dying soon afterwards. They never made any appeals for help. It would not have been any use. Besides, they were too far gone, 10 know what they were about that they were dying. Their last effort to keep going was merely a mechanical operation. Of course the great mortality all along our route was due to the barren na- ing, with no shelter for but a com paratively few of us. There were even no forests where We might have felled trees and built temporary quarters Our fires for the most part were small, with barely enough wood to heat water"
 Haller, who was on a visit to Buda- pest when the war began. enlisted iuI the Austrian army and was serving as a bugler, when, six months later, he was taken prisoner by the Serbs and then finally was marched with 750o0 other Austrian soldiers across the mountains into Albania, and there turned loose on the shores of the Adri- attic to fight for life against cholera, fever and starvation"
 "We were supposed to have started on that retreat" said Haller. with Serb army of over two hundred thousand men and about seventy-five thousand Austrian prisoners. Not many more than one hundred and fifty thousand of the whole lot got over the mountains. It was not because the | Austrians or the Bulgarians pursued us, however, with much activity. We died merely because of disease, hun ger and exhaustion.
 There were. perhaps, not more than two thousand women among the retreating hordes with us. and it is fact worth recording that they were kindly treated and given whatever comforts were available by soldiers who were otherwise dead to every feeling. have seen such men, gaunt. staggering along, half naked, with a

COAL FROM THE ARCTIC.

; A few years ago the idea of getting
coal from Spitzbergen, one of the
most desolate islands of the Arctic
ocean, was a topic for romancers.
Now it is a fact of considerable mo-
ment in many of the worlds markets.
A single company, financed chiefly by
American capital, mined nearly 49,
900 tons of coal from Spitzbergen last
year. The deposit of fuel in the far
North is said to be singularly easy
to work. 1t comes in a single seam
about four feet thick, stretching along
the coast for 80 miles. The surround
ing rock is so solid that timbering is
not needed. The temperature is al
ways below the freezing point in the
present workings, which does away
with the need of pumps. In fact, the
only real difficulty is that of getting
men-and motion pictures have gone
far to solve that problem. Yet for ev-
cry ton of coal in Spitzbergen there are
ten in Alaska of at least equal quality,
closer to a hungry market The Arctic
zone won't make a real dent in the
fuel market till our big Northwest
territory gets in action.

OHIO,S WHEAT YIELD
IS FULL OF PROMISE
Increased Use Of Lime Reflected
In Abundant Harvest
(By @. ]. Wilder.)

The harvest time is again with US,
and Ohio has an excellent crop Of
wheat It is all we'll filled out anG the
straw yield seems to be heavy in most
of our counties. Considerable wheat
has lodged owing to the recent heavy
storms and is in bad shape.
Meadows look good up in Union
county. Alfalfa and corn average;
wheat and clover good.
Many hogs are fed in this section
and the dairy industry is being more
fully developed, Sheep are always to
be found and there are also quite o
number of young horses grazing about
upon these excellent pastures.
From Columbus to Marion, in
the northeastern part of Franklin
county and up into the eastern por-
tion Of Delaware county, there is need
of lime. Many farms are not being
farmed as they should. Then again,
others are very representative of the
progress of the times.
The profits upon the farm are bet
ter than they used to be and everyone
seems to realize that our soils must
be handled intelligently in order to
prepare to feed the world.
Beef cattle have taken an advance,
and to those engaged in the raising OF
thoroughbred dairy cattle there seems
to be an excellent future. Sheep are
coming back, and along with them
there should be the desire to grow
more roughage.
Lime is the mother of alfalfa and
alfalfa is good for sheep.
The fall shipments Of lime nave
started and some manufacturers re-
Fort that their output is already taken
The worth of lime and ground lime
stone has been proven without a
doubt, and many localities are receiv
ing as high as thirty carloads to be
used upon the wheat ground. Many
have ordered ahead with shipments tc
take place within the next thirty days
More lime is being used now THAI
at any other time of the year, because
1t handles better. Shipments are
asked for in box and gondola cars
and many farmers prefer it in bags
as there is less work in handling and
there is also less loss.
The demand is for material which
is fine and we'll milled product. The
finer the better, for it is more quickly
available and will destroy acidity a
once. 1t will place the soil in condi
tion to render quick and rapid growth
Ohio lime and limestone is knowl
for its superior quality. 1t is the an
cient life Of the seas. It is Of organic
origin and has been, stored up TO
years.
With the advance in agriculture tn
manufacturers are equipping up thei
plants to take care Of this agriculture
trade.

The use of chopsticks is general in
Japan, except among the richer classes,
who have adopted European knives
and forks, and, to some extent, the
European cuisine. Small bowls OF
china or lacquered wood are the usual
table equipment. After the various
solid portions of the food have been
lifted to the mouth with chopsticks
the liquid remaining is slipped from
the bowl. In the case of rice, which
would be tedious to pick up grain
by grain, the bowl is often raised to
the mouth and the rice shoveled OF
pushed in with the chopsticks. It is
also customary to pour little tea
into the rice bowl after it has been
nearly emptied, and in this way the
few remaining grains of rice are
washed down as the tea is drunk.

A notable undertaking of the Office
of farm management, United States
bureau of plant industry, is large
agricultural atlas of the United States,
to which several other branches of the
department will contribute. This work
will be published, in the first place,
in the form of number of separate
monographs, which will ultimately be
combined to form the complete atlas.
Pending the completion of the large
work, similar work on much small
er scale, adapted for use as a school
atlas of American agriculture, will be
issued-probably this year. This will
comprise about 100 pages of maps and
diagrams, accompanied by brief text
The maps will present the following
subjects: Relief, soils, climate, crops
distribution, seedtime and harvest
etc., live stock distribution; size
value and tenure of farms; rural popu
lation.
