vERouN ATTACKS RESUMED.
Two Million Soldiers Face Each Other
Upon Vast Battle Front.

Paris, June 14.-The battle OF Yer
dun has broken out with unusual vio-
lence on the east bank of the Meuse
Fort Vaux.
The fighting is characterized by
witnesses as internal. 1t is estimated
that the Germans used up 10000 in
fantry in assaults on the trenches
west OF Fort Vaux and at Thiaumont.
The attacks followed each other in
such close succession as practically
to merge one in the other.
London.-German troops attempting
counter offensive against the Rus
slams in the Stripa region suffered a
severe check Tuesday, according to
the statement of the war office in
Petrograd The Russians reported
the capture of several hundred pris-
oners and an enormous amount of
war supplies. Fresh effectives, total
ing in number at least the equivalent
OF ten divisions, have been brought up
by the Germans and Austrians to
stem the Russian advance. The Rus
sian offensive force of more than
,OOO, 900 men and thousands of heavy
caliber guns now is believed to be
opposed by equal enemy forces.
After a preliminary artillery bonn
bardment. Italian troops made an at
tack in the Lagarina valley and cap
tured a strong Austrian line, the war
office in Rome announced.
Austrian troops attempted to ad-
vance in several sectors but met with
checks.

Even Persia, although remote at

which resulted in the deposition of the
reigning shah in 1909 and the appoint
ment Of his son. then eleven years old,
to succeed him. For time a regent
ruled the country, but III July of 1914
Ahmed Mira was crowned as shah.
When made shah the young ruler did
not take kindly to his position. He
dearly loved his parents He had lit
orally to be torn from their arms when
proclaimed as ruler in place of his fa-
ther, Mohammed Ali, who was driven
into foreign exile.
But the new shah has been carefully
trained for his place and now. at the
age of eighteen, attends cabinet coun-
ellis. Court etiquette and western hab-
it's he learned from French tutors. Ed,
rOpean military experts have trained
him in military science and how to ride
in the saddle. His European tutors
have also taught him French and Rus
sian and have instructed him in the ele-
ments Of international law The long
course of study has not been wasted on
Ahmed Mira, who is very intelligent.
His appearance at first glance is not
impressive. He is short and already
very stout, despite an active life, and
he has close set eyes and a dropping
mouth. But his chin is determined in
mold. and it is said that he is develop
ing an imperious manner.

How Salt Is Obtained.

In speaking of the manner in
which salt is obtained in Ohio,
Prof. John A. Bownocker of the
department of geology of the
Ohio State University, said:
Wells are drilled through one
or more beds of rock-salt and
then water is poured into the
well. After the water is satur-
ated or nearly so with salt it is
lifted to the surface and the salt
obtained by evaporation. It is
the strength of brine that gives
this area a great advantage over
the old field at Pomeroy and vi
cinity. The salt is obtained from
the brine in two distinct ways:
ID by grainers, which are long
rectangular troughs in which the
brine is evaporated by steam
heat, and (2) by vacuum pans
which are large egg-shaped steel
vessels into which brine is pour
ed and over which the atmos-
pheric pressure is reduced by ma
chinery, and hence the boiling
point of the brine lowered. This
process yields a liner grained salt
than the grainer method and the
cost is less. The salt may be
marketed after drying in the form
that it comes from the vacuum
pans but that for tableuse is gen.
orally screened. Waste material
from the screens is sold for MAX
ing ice cream and other purposes
where fineness is not an import
ant factor

TREMENDOUS SLUMP IN BEER

Commissioner Osborne Explains That
Because Of She ADDED Tax on Fer

sumption Of Nearly Two Million
Barrels In Seven Months.
Columbus, O.-(SDecial. internal
Revenue Commissioner Osborne in a
statement to the American Issue
gives figures on the consumption Of
beer which disposes OF the claims of
certain brewery journals that since
the close o. the last fiscal year, which
ended June 80, 1915, tae consumptioE
OF beer has increased in the United
States as compared with the same
period ct the previous year. This
claim is made because the revenue
receipts from fermeuted liquors show
an increase.
In his statement Commissioner Os.

1916, were $51,4S2, ,565.82 as against

increase in receipts for the seven

Crop Conditions.

Improvement during the month,
but with the improvement noted
in some counties, the general
condition for the state is only
three points higher than shown
last month. Present prospects
indicate that the average produc-
tion per acre will be about 1912
bushels. Under normal condi-
tions, general state average pro-
duction per acre should be Is
bushels. Not only will the pro-
duction per acre be low, but the
report shows that A. acres of
the original area seeded last fall
has been abandoned. This leaves
1,577, 352 acres now remaining,
and as many fields are in such
poor condition that they will not
pay for harvesting, the area will
show a decline from the acreage
above quoted.
Following we quote some of
Ohio's lowest wheat productions
per acre; 1866, eight and one-half
bushels; 1875, nine bushels; 1884,
ten bushels; 1896, twelve bush
els; 1896, eight and one-half bu-
shells; 1900, six bushels; 1912, ten
shells.
Oat prospects are reported at
80 per cent, compared with a
normal production per acre-30
bushels per acre being normal.
represented by 100 per cent in
this report. The area seeded to
oats for the present harvest is
estimated at 1,82O,038 acres.
From the prospect now reported
this should produce approxim-
ately 1868. 566 bushels. The
crop is badly infested with weeds.
The last of May found great
area of corn not planted. The
crop is very irregular. Some
ready to be cultivated; some just
making its appearance.
The present prospect of rye is
estimated at 79 per cent, COM
pared with a normal yield.
Winter barley shows a pros
pect of II per cent, while the
prospect of spring barley is esti-
mated at Sc per cent, compared
with an average.
Clover is estimated at 80 per
cent, compared with a normal
yield.
Timothy prospect is estimated
at 80 per cent. But small dam
age is reported by grub worm.
The report shows that the num-
Der of hogs being fed for surn-
mer markets is slightly in excess
of that of last year. The condi-
ton of the animals is good.
Fruit prospects are estimated
at 80 per cent, compared with a
normal yield.
