Great Austro-Cerman Coun-

Under Way Against the
Russian Army at Kovel

London. Aug. 5.--The Germans
are massing both troops and guns on
the eastern from. for great counter
offensive under General Won Hinden-
burg. designed TO stem the Russian
advance against Kovel and I.emberg.
This news was received here from
several neutral points today and was
partly confirmed In dispatches from
Berlin. For several days troop trains
have been leaving Berlin daily. carry
Ing reserves to the eastern front.
Berlin believes the crisis OF the war
Is approaching on the eastern front
and for this reason great crowds are
gathering daily to bid the departing
troops farewell. t
Field Marshal Won Mackenzen, who
inaugurated the great German offen-
sive against the Russians more than
year ago. has joined Won Hinden-
burg on the eastern front. The Aus
trian crown prince. recently on the
Italian front. has assumed charge OF
operations In Galicia.
Reports from Amsterdam today
said the first blow probably would
be struck In the southeast. where the
Slavs have achieved their greatest
gains. Hindenburg aiming to throw
back the whole Slav line by driving In
the left flank, and at the same time
silenclng the Roumanian leaders who
have been urging King Ferdinand to
Join the allies. The battle, It Is be-
lleved. will be gradually spread until
the whole eastern front is involved
In gigantic struggle, comparable to
that OF early last summer.
II Is too early to determine whether
the strong German counter-attacks in
the region east OF Kovel form the be-
ginning Of the expected Austro-
German offensive. The Russian War
Office statement admits the evacua-
ton OF Rudka Mirinskaia under
heavy Austro-German attacks. but
the fighting at this point continues.

GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP
POSSIBLE
Strike Troubles on American
Railroads May Force Fed
eral Action for Relief Of
Public, Says Senator Norris

Washington. Aug. 5.-The strong
est argument ever presented for gov
ernment ownership Of railroads is the
threatened paralysis OF trafic due to
an employers-employes controversy,
Senator Norris Of Nebraska declared
today.
Should the impending disaster fall,
he announced. he will seize the OPP
portunity to advance the doctrine that
private ownership OF q public utility
necessarily is opposed to. the public
interest.
Norris win introduce a bill cali
Ing for the construction or purchase
|of nationwide system, line from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the gulf to the lakes. This he viii
propose to operate as a model utility,
both as to treatment Of the public
in rates and to employees in pay.
"Watered stock is the great evil or
railways" said Norris MANY Of
them must earn interest and divi-
|dends Of from two to Ave times their
actual value. Nothing. therefore, is
more unfair and unintelligent than
to 'cuss' railroad managers. Simply
hired men. they must operate with
Isuch economy toward their employees,
and with such a make-it-pay-regard-
less attitude toward the public. that
the surprise is that the blow-up has
not come sooner.
This strike is as inevitable as
summer or winter. Possibly the situ-s
alton may be patched up. But SO long
as the railroad managers must de-
vote their energies toward earning
dividends and interest on values that
do not exist. there is hanging over
the traffic of this country--oyer its
business lie. its food supply, its milk
trains that carry food for its babies
"a Damoclean sword.
Government ownership would sue
ceed because there would be no wat
cred stock Admit that operation
might not be so economical and
that term may mean. remember,
grinding the men and gouging the
public-nevertheless, with the tre-
mendous watering OF stock elimin-
ated, operation would pay.
Zone class Of stock ! would reserve
for employees exclusively, for them
to invest in when they choose.
II believe these two lines---one
east and west from ocean to ocean.
the other north and south from the
lakes to the gulf--would have so
great an influence in moulding rates
and treatment OF employees that fur
ther extension of government owner
ship might not be necessary or. II It
was. its advantages would be so ap-
parent as to rout opposition.
Far more important, It would be
in the public interest. A manager
would not ask how high a rate can
I get for this commodity? How cheap
can ] hire this man?' And all rates
would be uniform and fair, and with
out rebates Of any kind.
III lines could not be purchased
Tor a fair price. I would build other

There are at least six positive
conditions that join in the produc-
ton of plant. The lack or in
sufficiency of any one or more of
these results in no plant or a
poorly developed plant" says E.
0. Fippin, Professor of Soil Tech
nology, Cornell University. Food,
moisture, light, heat, oxygen, and
mechanical support are essential
to plant growth. Then there must
be freedom from interfering con-
ditions, such as the destruction by
insects or animals, injury due to
disease organisms or interference
due to toxic or poisonous condi-
tions. The correct adjustment of
these factors for any particular
plant results in full normal
growth.

Burglars Drug Sleepers

Burglars entered the grocery
store and dwelling of Mrs. John
Darrell, at Lancaster avenue and
Jackson street, Wilmington, on
Wednesday night and ransacked
the store and every room on the
premises but their only plumber
was a pair of gold framed eye
glasses taken from a boarder's
coat pocket. They had piled up
clothing and other articles in the
dining room but it is thought
grew frightened and left the
booty behind them. They used
chloroform or some similar drug
to keep the inmates of the house
asleep while they searched the
rooms. Mrs. Darrell early in the
morning thought she heard some
one walking about the house but
went to sleep and did not waken
until several hours later.

held for Court in Wilmington on
Saturday on charges of burglary
and carrying concealed deadly
weapons. Patrolmen Zebley and
Maloney arrested the pair as sus-
picious characters on Friday
morning near Fourth street
wharf. Each when searched had
loaded revolver. Edward had
$72.15 and a gold watch in his
pockets, and John had 1924 and a
piece of torn 81 note. John

found on Edward and Joseph B.
McHugh testified that his saloon
at Eighth and Church streets was
robbed of S115.14 on Friday
morning. John J. Hogan, his bar
keeper, identified the torn 81 bill
as one taken from the cash regis
ter. The pair were fined $500
each and given a year each in the

pons charge and held in default

Delaware, and suggests the i'm
portance Of speedy action.
""The only reason an improved
general supply has not been in
stalled is because there are no
funds available for the costs of
such Improvement. 1t is a fact
that the institution is not operat-
ed in several respects as the man
ayers know would be the best way
to handle reform institution of
this nature. Furthermore, the
members have put their hands in
their own pockets, in addition to
their personal attention, and have
provided funds for some urgent
needs, but they are unable to con-
tribute enough to run the school
as it ought to be handled.
"The managers think it is I'M
reasonable to expect them to do
so, as the State is really respon-
sible for the care of it's delin-
quents, and only boys duly COM
mitted by the State, County and
City Courts are received. Only be-
cause the managers believe that
it would be a misfortune to the
community for the school to be
given up, have they been willing
to continue in it's management
with the great handicaps which
exist. Either to turn these delin-
quent boys in the streets or to
send them to the workhouse would
be great misfortune. With the
exception of an improved water
supply, vocational training and
some minor matters, the equip
ment is excellent, but the income
is insufficient to do what such a
school ought to accomplish. The
managers think that if the COM
munity does not back them up in
their sincere desire to provide the
best possible training and sur
roundings then the community it.

responsibility lies"

Stab Wound Proves Fatal

Charles Leech, aged 80 years,
of 221 King street, Wilmington,
died at Delaware Hospital early
on Wednesday morning of a stab
wound over the heart, inflicted by
an unknown Italian, who escaped,
on the previous Saturday night.
The Italian had slightly wounded
another young man at Fourth
and Tatnall streets, who was with
others, the Italian charging one
of them with insulting him. When
told to move on he used his knife
and fled. He turned south on
West street and met Leech and
probably thinking he was trying
to halt him stabbed him. His
pursuers lost trace of him at
Front and West streets. Leech's
condition was deemed critical
for several days previous to his
death.

posed Of The plan is entirely new in
this section of the country and should
be acceptable, as there will be no
probability of the tract being declared
a nuisance at some future date and
having to make way for progress.
The cemetery will be known as the

will be marked with a granite stake.
There will be a chapel and rest rooms,
while the entrance will be massive and
of white granite or marble.
