difference that an inch of depth is
plenty. | have sowed good deal of
it mixed together with grain. The
seed and grain are weighed up in what
ever proportion l think best such as
five pounds of wheat and one pound
of alfalfa seed, which is the same as
seventy-five pounds of wheat and fiji
teen pounds of alfalfa and this is the
amount l SOW to an acre. The pro-

rounds. The seed thus remains mixed
pretty well.
have also mixed oats and alfalfa
seed in the same way-about two
bushels or sixty-five pounds of oats
to fifteen pounds of alfalfa seed. No
allowance is made on the quantity
marker on account of the alfalfa seed
as it seems to make no difference.
To SOW alfalfa seed by itself without
another crop may be better because
the little seed has better show to

can be fixed to SOW but an inch deep.
To do this a ring sleeve on the pull

President Takes Exception to a Revision of the Articles of War and Declines to Sign Bill for the Army. MEASURE IS AT
 ONCE REINTRODUCED Underlying motive for the Re vision Is Said to Have Caused Action. Retired Of ficers Would be Affected.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S-The army appropriation was unexpectedly vetoed today by President Wilson because he would not accept certain provisions in the revision of the articles of war, forced into the bill by the House con ferees and commonly said in army circles ro be in the interest of certain retired officers, 'at outs with the army"
 Chairman Hay of the House military committee immediately reintroduced the bill with the amendment revising the articles of war striken out and the declaration that no revision at all would get through with the Dill in this Congress. Chairman Chamber lain, of the Senate military committee, announced that the Senate would re insert the revision of the articles of the war clause and that the situation had resolved itself into a contest be- tween the Senate and House on one hand and NIT. Hay on the other.
 The tangle threatens to delay the adjournment of Congress, and, in- cidentarly. completion of the prepar- edness program as well as to hold up appropriations for the army increases and all the extra expenses involved in the Mexican service.
 The bill as reintroduced now is in the House military committee and there is an agreement to take 1t up and expedite the continental army and universal training plans, and the substitution of national guard re organization which it had. The ar ticles of war have not been revised in a hundred years and are said to be sadly deficient for dealing with conditions which the growth of the army and development Of the nation require. The war department is es pecially anxious for change to enahlc army officers to deal adequately with problems arising during the present Mexican service.
 Included in the revision worked out by Congress, over the objection oi the President, the war department was a provision which exempted re tired officers from court martial and army discipline. if not actually iron army control and placed them under the jurisdiction of the civil courts. | is common understanding among army officers that the section covered the case of a certain retired officer. for merly regarded as a power in shap ping military legislation, who wal preparing to write book and hesitat ed to do it while liable to discipline
 The President in his veto, made nc reference to this phase of the situa tion.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The present week brought within the range of practical politics a reform, which many of its advocates feared the war would postpone for generation-the right of women to vote. The strong est force against the realization of woman suffrage in the years imme- diately preceding the war was the de termined opposition of Premier As quith. Hence great surprise was caused by his virtual conversion when he said in the house of commons on Monday that the undertaking of new franchising and registration reforms in the midst of a great war was too complex and controversial a problem and when he implied that any new bill for franchise reforms in the future must, Of necessity. include women.

MORE ASSAULTS BY ENGLISH
 AND FRENCH
Western Allies Push Ahead
 in Their Advance Against the Germans. Little Activity
 Had on Two Fronts.
(By Review Leased Wire)

Assaults by British ana tren"n forces against German positions north of the Somme in France, have result ed in the gaining of additional ground by the attackers, according to the British and French war offices. The French advance was in and around Maurepas. the scene of much hard fighting during the last few weeks and the British gain was in the direction of Ginchy and Guillemont, near the southern end of their section of the Somme front.
 The Anglo-French attack, London says, took place along the whole line from Pozieres to the Somme.
 The gains reported by Paris and London were in the center of the German positions on the Somme front and mark another step in the Anglo French advance toward Combles. French troops gained more ground in the village of Maurepas, after the stopping of the German counter at tacks nearathe village. Calvary Hill, southeast of the village. was carried by assault and the French position on the Maurepas-Clery road also was ex- { tended.
 , British troops advanced successfully ] in the region of GinGhy and Guile mont and seized more German posi- i tions. London mentions no gain on any other part of this front. The Anglo-French forces captured more than 400 prisoners in their advance.
 The French offensive continues on the right bank of the Mouse, in the Verdun region, and Paris chronicles the capture of two fortified redoubts northwest of the Thiaumont work. Progress also is reported for the French east of the VauX-Chapitre wood
 Berlin reports attacks by the French and British forces north of the Somme but says all of them were repulsed, except one. by the British in the di- rection of Martinpuich. A French gain around Fleury in the Verdun region, Is admitted.
 There has been little activity on the eastern front, according to the official reports. Most of the fighting has been in the Carpathian Mountain region where both the Russians and the AustIoGermans claim to have made some advances. Petrograd says the Austro-Germans are attacking in Galicia but with no success.
 The Teutonic allies have taken the offensive on the Freco-Ssrbian iron tier, north of Saloniki, and Berlin re ports the capture of the Greek town of Florina from Serbian troops. This movements probably is in answer to the recent entente allied activity or
 the same front.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Aug. 1S.- United States soldiers and national guardsmen stationed at Fort Brown have been driven from their quarters and have taken refuge in the city hall and other public buildings at Browns vile on account of the gulf coast storm which is striking that section tonight. according to meagre reports received over the army wireless at Fort Sam Houston from Fort Brown tonight.
 A terrific and destructive wind, ac' cording to this report, has wrought havoc in Brownsville and in military camps. Those troops which took refuge in the court house were the Illinois, Iowa and Virginia regiments They took two days rations. All wires to Brownsville are down and communication except over the army wireless is impossible.

 Burgoon went on shift yesterday evening and finding that the muckers on the opposite shift had not finished cleaning up the ore in the prospect drift he had been working in, decided to move over to another intermediate drift in which there was small vein of ore. He set up his machine there and had finished putting in one hole and was working on the second when the boulder just over his head fell upon him giving him a large scalp wound and breaking his neck, as well as bruising him badly

FEAR FOR ARMY STORES.

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 1S.-It was stated at army headquarters here that fear was entertained of saving the immense quantities of army stores and supplies in and around Brownsville. It was said that a wind velocity of sixty miles an hour would damage the big national guard camps. An eighty mile wind. it was declared, would level the camps, destroy canvas and lightly constructed buildings and sheds. The wind was seventy miles an hour. Governor Edward F. Dunne, of Illinois and staff who spent two days in Brownsville, left northbodnd this afternoon and are due to arrive in Houston tomorrow morning.

held another long conference at their hotel.
 Employees representatives held two meetings during the day. one of sew eral hours. for speech making and hallOting on the Presidents propOsi- tion. and the other a short one. for confirmation of the result of the vote They expressed the conviction tonight that the negotiation with the White House would not be concluded for several days. and that each point in volyed would be thoroughly covered by the five heads of brotherhoods before any action was taken.
 As one railrooad head pointed out tonight. the questions at issue in- volved the operation of 250 900 miles of railroad. One-fourth that of the en- tire world, and their solution may have a far-reaching effect on labOring conditions throughout the United States. With 100000 railroad men ss- sured of an eight hour basic working day. some of the operators feel it would be a question of only a short time until laboring men in some of the great industrial concerns of the country would be making demands for an eight hour day also. EchOs of this feeling are expected to reach the White House as this view is spread throughout the country.
 The President realizes that if it comes to a matter of break with the White House. some of the executives may be inclined to subordinate their convictions to President Wilson's wishes, and it has been planned to have votes taken on each proposal made by him with the understanding that majority vote shall bind all

 There never was a time during the | day that the Presidents proposal could not have been rushed through the employees meeting by a big ma | jority.

 Delegates to the conference, who in- cluded health officers from forty states and many experts of the public health service, expressed confidence ! tonight that the two days expression ] of views on all aspects of the baffling disease would result in vitaliZing the campaign against it. Advisory local quarantine rules, adopted largely from the New York City code, were ap- proved. Assistant Surgeon General 1 w. C.

In their informal statement the of ficials insisted on arbitration on the ground that if they give in this time it would mean other demands in the future and because they believed tha; if they granted the S-hour day and it's consequent added expenses without resort to arbitration. it would preju- dice any appeal they might make lat CT to the interstate commerce commis- sion for higher freight rates.
 Having accepted the Presidents plan of settlement the committee of employees took no further action to- night. and awaited developments. They were expecting summons to the White House after the meeting tomor- row between Mir. Wilson and railroad officials
 After MT Wilson had explained his plan. Hale Holden, president of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy. act ing as spokesman. notified the Presi- dent that the officials present could only speak for their individual roads and the committee of managers was the only body with power to accept or reject proposals. It was indicated plainly to MT Wilson that the off cials were inclined to stand behind the previous attitude of the managers committee in refusing to accept the eight hour day. and that the propo- sal was believed to be impracticcable. The President was told. however. that the plan would be given further con sideration and a report made to him tomorrow In matter of such far reaching interests. the officials said. they believed there should be no has ty decision.
 MT. Wilson explained to the railroad official that he had drawn up the plan because he thought it fair and because he thought way must be found preventing a strike. He asked them to demonstrate a spirit of con cession and to assist him in settling the controversy. Tonight the officials
