PANIC IN AUSTRIA
THOUSANDS OF INHABITANTS
FLEE AS TOWNS ON ~STYR
FALL BEFORE RUSS
SLAvS MENACE MANY POINTS
Vienna Admits Capture by Russians of
Beresteczk and Werben-Threaten
Brody, koveI, Lemberg and Other
important Cities.

London, July 22-Effective renew
al of the Russian drive in the Vol
hynian region. with the passage of
the River Styr, the capture of 1,6OO
prisoners, and the occupation of the
two towns of BerestecZk and Werben,
is officially announced by the Russian
war office and admitted in an official
statement received from Vienna.
Berlin claims the repulse Of Rus
sian offensive actions in the Riga dis
trict around BaranOvitchi and on the
Sokul river, but a reference TO in
creased activity on the Lipa in the
region of Werden indicates that the
Russian gain there was of considera-
able moment. The Austrians claim
only minor advantages In scattered
actions in BukOwina.
Panic in Brody.
A dispatch from Milan TO the Lon
don Telegraph says:
According TO news received from
Hungary, panic preceded the ex-
odus of the population Of Brody,
where the Russians are expected.
Eighteen thousand persons have left
the town, only 100 families remain
ing. Qt was in this section today
advance took place.
alarm has spread through Hun
gary, even political circles being deep
ly moved.
Judge Peppenberg Of Radantz, de-
scribing the hasty evacuation OF the
town, in which he participated, esti-
mates that half million refugees
from Bukowina have encamped in the
woods Of the Carpathians.
"a terrible panic occurred In KIM
polling. resulting in many deaths"
New Move on kovel.
From the success of the Russian
attacks on the Styr the entire district
from KOvel to Lemberg. with those
two important centers as well as the
stronghold of Vladimir VOlynski are
more seriously menaced. With the
passages Of the Styr now In Russian
hands any further advance In this
region Is believed to be matter Of
hours at most.
Study Of the situation leads to the
belief that the Russians will now
continue their blows against Kovel
from the southeast, hoping to take
that important railway center and
SO hamper the movement Of Teuton
re-enforcements and supplies that
Lemberg will be a comparatively
easy victim.

MERCHAN IMAM A MENACE
Enter Another Protest Against Wash
ington's Ruling on the Subsea
Boat Deutschland.

Washington. July 20-In accordance
ments, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the Brit
ism ambassador, and NJ. Jusserand, the
French ambassador. set forth to the
state department the reasons why the
United States should not regard yes
sells OF the Deutschland type as mer-
chantmen
The reasons are as follows:
THAT submarine merchantmen cam
not be overhauled and visited and
searched, Us Is possible in the case of
surface craft, because of their ability
to dive and escape.
THAT such ships, because of their
submersibility are able to evade mu-
nicipal law with special reference to
customs. quarantine, etc.
THAT such ships can be transformed
with ease from merchantmen into war
ships.
THAT in case of war between q great
the latter would have the right to pur-
chase submarine merchantmen. and
when the ships arrived at the port of
the purchaser they could be provided
with guns and torpedoes and sally
forth to attack the enemy ships.
THAT q refusal on the part OF
state to sell submarine merchantmen
could be regarded as an unneutral
act"

RAISES BIG STORM
BRITISH BOYCOTT CAUSES FLOOD
OF PROTEST TO POUR INTO
WASHINGTON.
U. S. IS PLANNING ACTION
Publication of London Blacklist Be-
leved to Be Opening Gun in a Re-
lentless Trade War to Be Waged BY
Great Britain

Washington. July 21.-A flood OF
protest from all parts of the United
States against the British boycott is
pouring in upon the White House and
the state department. The action of
Great Britain in making public u gen.
oral list of American firms who have
been boycotted because they trade
with England's enemies" has aroused
public sentiment, and demands for re-
taliatory legislation are reaching here
from various commercial organiza-
tons and individuals affected.
The state department is planning
action. 1t must wait. officials say. a
reasonable time" for official notifica-
ton of Great Britain's action. If that
is not forthcoming, direct inquiry
will be made at London. Meanwhile.
Acting Secretary of State Polk Is
looking into the international law
bearing on the subject. 1t is expected
that after all of the facts are COM
piled he will take the matter up with
President Wilson before framing the
planned protest.
Expect Bitter Trade War.
Officials very frankly say that the
making public of this boycott list is,
In their opinion. the opening gun in
what likely will prove a relentless
trade war against all neutrals who
have refused to accept without protest
the restrictions placed upon COM
lerce by the entente allies. They
point to the fact that the present boy
colt list was prepared by the British
board of trade and that it has been
operative for more than year, al
though only just now made public, as
indicating that the measure is one
planned by British exporters and man.
ufacturers to regain their trade lost
by the war.
The making public of the list now,
officials believe. was In anticipation
that at the end of the present great
drive on the eastern and western
front peace negotiations will assume
definite form.
Task Is knotty One.
While officials are discussing retalia-
tory measures no plans yet have been
framed for such action. 1t is admitted
that the task Is knotty one, and the
federal trade commission and the de-
partment of commerce will be ex-
pected to act.

Orono, Me-, Feb. S.-(SpeciaD.-Th fol-
lowing was made public today by Charles
D. Woods, director Of the Maine Agn-
cultural Experiment Station at the Uni
versity Of Maine, Orono:
AS was pointed out in letter in this
series some months ago. the Maine Agn-
cultural Experiment Station. in its ap-
Die Investigations at Highmoor Farm.
during several successive years, has
found arsepate Of lead to be valuable
fungicide for apple scab as we'll as 2
powerful insecticide. Its relatively high
efficiency in apple scab control, at least
on the Ben Davis. has suggested pos
s.ble modification Of summer spraying
practice This modified program has
been used experimentally for a couple
of seasons as follows: The spray con-
sisted of a strong fungicide combined
with a smaller amount of arsenate OF
lead when the blossom buds were show
ing pink. but for all later applications
scab control depended entirely on ar
senate oil lead, using at least -FOUR
pounds of the dry powder or eight pounds
of the arsenate Of lead paste. to each 1V1
gallons Of water. For the first applica-
ton or pink spray, in the experimental
work at Highmoor Farm a $3.50 Bor-
deaux mixture apd lime-sulphur solu-
ton % per. cent stronger than standard
was in use. The crop in each case has
been very free from scab but on account
of the fact that the omission Of this first
application Of standard dilution lime
sulphur on other plots failed to show an
increase in scab during these two sea-
sons 1t is impossible to draw definite con-
cfusions regarding the chief object in
view. However, all the evidence obtained
tends to confirm the results secured
where arsenate Of lead was used alone
throughout the season and in previous
years.
Locally it is not always safe to gener-
alize too much upon results secured in or
to adopt without reserve conclusions de
rived from work done in other parts Of
the country or abroad under different
climatic and soil conditions. Also. in
some instances these conclusions have
been based upon relatively small num-
