MAGNITUDE OF ARcTuRUs

The star Arcturus, which is known
to be sun for faraway system of
planets is 11,500000 times farther re-
moved from us than is our solar lu'
minary. His diameter is 100000
and his circumference about 224, 000,'
600 miles. Our sun is but 100000
miles in diameter, fact which proves
that Arcturus Is at least 55l 900 times
greater'in bulk than is our sun.

dwarf variety will compensate for the
small size of the individual plants
Another important characteristic OF
the new sorgo is its early maturing
In order that the crop may have the
highest possible food value, it is nee
cssary TO have the sorgo nearly ma.
ture at the time of harvest. Dakota
amber will reach this stage in from
so to 90 DAYS after planting. 1t may
cease to grow for considerable time
during a dry period, but 1t will re-
vive with little rain ard grow rap
idly. The seed natures early also
usually about - days later than the
forage crop. This. too is a distinct
advantage to the farmer in raising his
own seed, as sorgo seed at the pres
ent time costs from SO to IS hun
dred pounds.
Where sorgo can be grown II is
probable that it will produce larg-
er tonnage of fodder than any other
urirrigated forage crop in this region.
At Akron, Colorado. yields of sorgo
40 per cent greater than millet have
been obtained, and similar results
have been secured at Newell and
Ardmore. South Dakota. Other tests
in Colorado and the Dakotas have
shown that Dakota amber sorgo pro-
duces as averages of 40 per cent
more forage than Sudan grass.
The New Miilets
Two new varieties Of millet, Dako-
ia Kursk and Siberian, are discussed
in the paper already mentioned. The
Dakota Kursk strain has plants 30
to "a inches high when mature, with
many rather fine stems and manv
leaves. At Akron the yield Of hay
from this variety has averaged 2 Ia
tons per acre, and at Newell "a
tons. The seed head is close and
firm and does not allow the seed to
SLATER readily. Under ordinary con-
ditions II produces from Is to 25 bu.
shells OF seed per acre, 80 days after
planting. The excellent seed habits
OF this variety lead to the belief that
In addition to raising seed for their
Own use, farmers may find 1t profit
able to grow it for commercial mar
kets. The Dakota Kursk variety
may be cut for hay in from 20 to rs
days, and this early maturity, as In
the case Of the new variety Of sorgo
is a valuable characteristic.
Siberian millet is a larger variety
than Dakota Kursk. growing from &c
to 40 inches in height. 1t has coarser
stems and leaves and makes a somn-
what poorer quality Of hay. On the
other hand, the yields per acre are
larger. The seed head, however. is

GERMANS TO APPEAL
CASE OF APPAM LINER
And the United States Supreme
Court Will Have Final Say
as to Ships Disposition.

NORFOLK, Va, July 29-Posseb-
sion Of the British liner Appam
brought into Hampton Roads last
February by a German prize crew
was awarded today to Its English
owners, by Judge Waddill, of the
federal district court.
An appeal will be taken when the
opportunity is given next Wednes.
day and the final decision in the libel
proceedings probably will be given
by the United States supreme court.
In the meantime the Appam Will
stay at Newport News in the custody
of the United States marshal or will
be turned over to its owners under
bond.
It's cargo has been sold for 1884,
600 and the money is being held by
the court.
What is to become OF Lieutenant
Berg, the prize commander, and his
crew Of twenty-five men must be de-
termined by the state department at
Washington. They have been living
aboard the Appam, claiming 1T as
the property of the German govern
ment, but the general belief here Is
that they will be interned along with
the men Of the German raiders laid
up here.
Judge Waddell's decision, given
after three months Of consideration,
held that the Appam lost its status
as prize when it entered American
territorial waters to remain in
definitely.
A decision by a German prize
court that the Appam was lawful
prize was held to be without effect
upon proceedings of the courts OF
the United States. The same Ger
man court recently adjudged prize
money, some $3.50, 900 in gold, taken
from the Appam when 1t was cap
tured off the coast of Spain by the
raider Moewe,

GERMANS LOSE GROUND
Russian Campaigns Against
the TeutOns is Marked With
Important Victories.

:, Armies of the Entente Allies con-
tinue to hammer the lines of the
Central powers on all European
NAelds. On the western front the
British and French are holding back
German forces and British troops
have made additional progress on
the hard fought Somme battle
ground.
Russian forces on the eastern
front continue their successful drive
against the Austro-German lines
with Brody in their hands the Rus
SLAMS report little or no activity in
northern Galacla. In southern Ga
lacia. however, the Muscovite armies
are pushing forward toward Stanis-
lau, an important railroad center
which is not far from Halicz, also
a railroad center.
Russian Successes.
The capture of Brody and the re-
treat of the Austrian army is equal
ed, if not surpassed, by the Russian
successes west and northwest OF
'Tusck. This advance, if unchecked
by General Won Linsingen, seriously
threatens Vladimir Volynsh and
makes the railroad junction Of Ko-
vel less tenable for the Austro-Ger-
mans
While admitting the Russian pen
etration Of the Teutonic lines north
west of Letsck, Berlin declares that
the advance west Of Lutsik has been
stopped by a counter attack.
Thousands OF Prisoners.
Petrograd claims the capture OF
more than 10000 @Aastro-Germans
in the recent fighting in northern
.Galacia and Volhynia. According to
estimates of Russian army officers,
the number of prisoners taken in the
the first half of the present cam
paign by the Russians totals $780,
900. The same authorities estimate
the Austro-German losses including
killed, at 100000.
North of the Somme in France the
British have gained some ground in
the vicinity of Pozieres and the high
wood. The British have beaten of
German attempts to advance at Yer
wood, and the French have stopped
German attack to advance at Yer
mandovillers south of the Somme.
Berlin reports little activity on Ihis
front, with the exception of the fail
ure of the British attacks in the VI
cinity OF Posieres. Fighting also
continues around verdun. German
attacks on both right and left banks
of the Mouse have been repulsed.
Paris reports that French troops con-
tinue their advance near the Thiau-
mont fort on the right bank Of the
river.
No Great Change.
There has been no great change on
the Italian front nor on the
Salonika front where the Serbian
army began an offensive several days
ago. Sofia claims the Bulgar-
ians stopped Serbian attacks
while the Serbians claim to have im-
posed heavy losses on the Bulgarians
In the Caucasus the Russian ad,
vance against Kharput and Sivas

Nicholas, continues successfully, Pet

On the Way to the Border, AC-
Cording to a Report Made
by Secretary Baker.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-In re-
Spouse to House resolution of inquiry
Secretary Baker today made a report
on the transportation Of national
guardsmen to the border. The reso-
lutions asked for information on
charges that the guardsmen had been
transported in day coaches; that their
trains had been unreasonably side
tracked, and that they were tnsuti-
GENTLY fed and cared for.
Secretary Baker says the guards
men in some instances were trans
ported in day coaches but that no
cars without lights were used and
that troop trains we're not sidetracRed
unreasonably. Regular army rar
tions, more than sufficient for the
Journey, were furnished all troops, he
asserts, either on leaving mobiliza-
tfon camps or en- route and that all
cars were inspected to remedy de-
fects or deficiencies that would I'M
peril health or safety Of troops. The
report says day coaches were used
only in cases where owing to the ur'
gency of the situation and the large
number Of troops being moved at
one time, it was not practical to de-
lay. When day coaches were used
it explains, three men were assigned
to each four seats. In some cases
railroads without extra charge al
lowed two men to occupy four seats
Wherever it could be done arrange
ments were made to transfer troops
from day coaches to tourist sleepers
Regarding rations, the secretary
reports that where cooking equip
ment was not placed on trains. the
men were furnished with money tc
buy hot coffee the same as troops OF
