COOPERATION NEEDED.
Car Shortage and Early Fertilizer
Shipments.


On September first there was a
car shortage in the United States of
10000; October first, 10000; No
vember first 100000; December
first, approximately 10000 with the
probability that shipping conditions
will continue to become worse from
week to week. Nearly ninety per
cent of the four million hundred
thousand tons of fertilizers used by
farmers in the spring season has in
the past year been congested in a
shipping season of just about six to
eight weeks length.
The spring shipments of fertilizers
require three hundred thousand rail
road cars. Indications point to
greatly increased demand for fertili-
zers this spring on account OF the
higher prices for farm products and
the greater profits from investments
in fertilizer. 1t will be absolutely
impossible for the railroads to
furnish that number of cars this
spring for moving the spring fertili-
GERS if they are congested in such a
short period of time this season as
they have been in past years.
This year the cooperation of the
farmers with the railroads and
dealers is necessary. The fertilizer
shipments will be moved promptly
and will reach the farmers in plenty
of time, if orders are made early and
early shipments started, thereby re-
lieving the congestion and extend
ing the length of the shipping period.
The railroads can only spare llml-
ted number of railroad cars for
fertilizer shipments The period
just before the coming of spring is
one of their greatest rush seasons.
Farmers who order their fertili-
zers early will enable the railroads
to move them before the rush season
opens and the cars can be unloaded
and used several times and for
several hauls instead of one. This
will help out the railroads, the
dealers, the manufacturers and will
insure a supply of fertilizers in
year when on account of high prices
for farm products fertilizers are go
ing to pay bigger profits on the in
vestment than ever before. The
shipping of fertilizers early is of ad-
vantage to the farmer N other ways.
Not only to be assured of supply
of plantfood ready for use when
needed, but he can haul them to his
farm before the rush of spring work
starts. Early ordering will help
everybody.

BEAR CLAWING AT
 AUSTR|A'S THROAT
Russia Expects Complete Break down Of Dual MonarChy'S Army

Petrograd, June 2O.-With an av- craze Austrian retirement of twenty five miles over the entire Volhynian and Galician front, except in the inn mediate region of Tarnopol; with the Russian seizure of Czernowitz and the flight of the Southern Austrian army toward the Carpathians, and with the Russians closing in upon Lemberg from two directions, the operations on the southwestern front have reach ed the crucial point where, it is be- lieved here, the Austrian armies must either make a final stand, or by their further retreat automatically compel a general retirement of the German army from positions which they have held against the Russians for nearly a year.
 Such stand, in the unanimous opinion of military officials here, will be an impossibility, as the separated Austrian armies are unable to com municate with one another, and all available troops and reserves having

Russian progress toward Kolomea, and, by obviating further the neces- sity of a turning movement, allow the Russian southern forces to ad- vance solid1y from the Czernowitz re- zion westward.
 According to Colonel Shumsky, the military critic of the Bourse Gazette, the taking of Czernowitz means the Russian occupation of the whole of Bukowina, since there are no defen- sive lines on the way to the Carpa- thians The writer says that it is ap- the first shock of the Russian attack has subsided, and that the period of lightning assaults, terminating in the wholesale capture of prisoners and the penetration of the Austrian lines, will now be succeeded by a steady and stubborn struggle, in which the shaken Austrian forces, aided by con- siderable German endorsements, have sufficiently recovered themselves to be capable of sharp counterattacks, which are becoming more and more frequent.
 Upon the success of this resistance, Colonel Shumsky adds, depends not only the fate of Lemberg, but the sit nation of the German armies, which, with Lemberg in Russian hands, would necessarily be forced to retire along the whole of the northern front.

HYDRO-AEROPLANE TEST
Six Machines Put Aboard Armored Cruiser For Experiments in Air Scouting During Maneuvers.

Washington, June 20.-For the first time in the history of the American navy experiments to determine the availability of hydro-aeroplanes for scout duty at seat are to be undertal<- en during the summer maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet. Six of the seaplanes are now being put aboard the armored cruiser North Carolina, station ship at the Pensacola Naval Aviation station, which has been ordered to take part in the maneuvers.
 The North Carolina is fitted with a catapulting device by means of which hydrO-aeroplanes can be shot out into the air in any weather. The device was recently perfected and is an advance over anything in foreign navies. Heretofore it has been pos sible to use the aircraft in calm wealth CT when they could be dropped over the side and rise from the surface of the water.
 The North Carolina will be fitted also with hydrogen generating plant

DAWES FOR LEADER
 OF REPUBLICANS
Was Controller Of the Currency ]. Under Colonel Roosevelt

Providence, R. l., June 20.-Until Charles E. Hughes, who arrived here last night for the thirty-fifth reunion of his class, Brown, '81, returns to New York, the question as to who will manage his campaign will not be de- eided.
 At the present moment four men loom up prominently for the job which carries with it the title of chairman of the Republican National committee. They are Charles G. Dawes, president of the Central Trust company of Chi cago and Controller of the Currency under Colonel Roosevelt; Frederick c. Tanner, chairman of the New York state republican committed; Colonel William Hayward, former aid to Frank H. Hitchcock, manager of the 1908 Taft campaign, and Herbert Parsons, national committeeman from New York
 At the present moment MT. Dawes Is leading a neck and neck race with Colonel Hayward and Mr. Tanner for the third place. It is not unlikely that before the national chairman is chos- en a dark horse may win.
 First Conference Held LIo III 0C COHIeTeHCe between MI. Hughes and the subcommittee having the actual selection of the officers of the national organization in their hands was held in New York yester- day afternoon. Nothing definite, how ever, was accomplished chiefly for the reason that MT. Hughes wanted to take a careful view of the situation before making his decision.
 There is a strong feeling among the republicans throughout the West that some man outside of New York state ought to be selected as national chair
New Britain herald., 1916-06-20

man. The objection to a New Yorker is based on the ground that the can- didate for president comes from that state, and that therefore the head of the national organization ought to come from the west.
 Williams Also in Race
 Should this argument prevail the possibility of MT. Dawes being chosen becomes almost a certainty. for inst now MT. Hughes is not considering prominently the names of any other WeSterner.
 One member of the subcommittee suggested that MT. Dawes would make a good national treasurer
 Ralph E. Williams, or Oregon, a, member of the subcommittee is also in the race for national chairman. He has considerable backing among the Pacific coast republicans. He was not present, however, at the conference at the Hotel Astor.

GALLIENI SHOT?
Savior of Paris' Said to Have Been
 ASSasSinatad

New York, June 2O.-Genera1 Jo- seph Galieni, the "savior of Paris recently buried with military honors, died by the hand of an assa ssin who was French army officer of high rank, according to stories told by pas- sengers on the French liner Lafay- cite, which arrived yesterday from Bordeaux. Although the news has been suppressed by the war office, they said that every one in Paris be- lieved the general was shot by an off, cer brought back from the front to be tried for attempting to betray Ver- dun to the Germans
 Paris rumor has it that General Gal lieni and the French Benedict Ar mold" were in conference alone when soldiers on guard outside heard a shot. They rushed in to find the gen. eral lying wounded on the floor and the officer standing pistol in hand. General Gallieni died soon after, and his assassin was hurried away and hid den.
 Gustave Heslouin, of the French war office, who came on the Lafay cite on a government mission, would not dis cuss, affirm or deny the rumor.
 Among the other passengers on the Lafayette was Francisco Gardenas a Mexican. who has lived here for some years. He placed the blame for bor- der trouble on American settlers in Mexico and the belief in the unen- lightned Mexican mind that all Amer jeans are towards.

Soon the last notes of the swan song of the Dual Monarchy will be heard.
 The Austrians are concentrating their forces in an attempt to ward off a Russian advance on Lemberg, but, according to the latest dispatches, the Russian troops pressing along the Dubno- berg railway, with Rad ziviloff we'll in their rear, are close upon the Galician frontier town of Brody, which is nearly half way to Lemberg

Federal government taking over the
Dixie Highway for a national high
way when we do our part.
President Frost declared that road
making is a trade or science, and
described the good roads OF England
and Switzerland. He said we waste
money by not giving little repairs to
our roads after each rain. And he
said Galbraith was exactly right in
expecting large motor traffic from
Ohio and the North which would be
a great benefit TO the citizens along
the Highway.
The magistrates from Rockcastle
County were out in full force and
added their enthusiasm to the spirit
Of the meeting by pledging their Co
operation in the completion OF their
part Of the road. They were as fol-
lows: Squire Arnold. Of Livingston;
Squire Chasteen. Of Disputanta; and
Squire MCGUIRE, OF Orlando.
Such a meeting OF citizens having
a common end in view is an inspir-
alton. Nothing ought TO be able TO
battle them in this project OF CON-
plotting our part Of the great Dixie
Highway.
