WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, May Especial:
Asiatic Turkey is the only wal the
alter where infantry actions of any
great Importance are reported. On
the line i'm France and Belgium and
i'm the Austro-Italian theaters there
have been minor engagements. On
the Russian front bombardments are
in progress.
The Russians and Turks are con
|tinuing their attacks and counter at
tacks in the region south of the
Black sea littoral and also west of
the Persian border, where the Rus
slams are %endeavoring to force their
way through the Mesopotamia region
with Bagdad and a junction with the
British forces farther south, their
evident detectives.
To the northwest of Erzerum. in
the kope mountain region, Constant
inople reports the repulse with the
heavy losses of Russian attacks TO
regain lost positions.
Petrograd admits that in this gen
eral region, around Erzingan and
Asch Kala, the Turks forced their
advance guards to retire at some
points, but says the ottoman forces
desisted in their attacks after having
suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Further southeast of Mosul, the
Russians are throwing a fresh force
into the attack directed against the
Bagdad region. Here they have oc-
.cupied the Rowanduz region. which
lies some 12o miles north of Kasr-I-
Shirin, where they were last reported
to be operating. This would place
the Russian troops at points about
220 miles north and 120 miles north
east of Bagdad.
The region of lie Mort Homme.
northwest of Verdun. again is under
heavy bombardment. while east of
the Meuse an intermittent c|annonad-
ing is in progress, No infantry at
tacks have been attempted. The
Germans succeeded i'm entering Brit
ish trenches in the Ploegsteert wood,
but were Immediately elected. while
British patrols captured German
trenches south of the LaBassee canal.
The Germans are showing consider
able artillery activity against numer-
sectors held by the British.

SPROUTS RAPIDLY
RAIN DEVELOPS IDEAL SOIL FOR
SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS.

Pierre, May 16.-Rains during the
past day or two throughout South
Dakota have again placed the ground
in first class condition and have
made crop conditions ideal.
The rains proved very beneficial
to small grain, now sprouting well,
which was uncovered by the dust
storms of last week, exposing the
roots. The rains have washed down
the surrounding dirt so that the
roots again are well covered and as
a result small grains once more are
thriving. In many sections of the
state small grain has attained a
height OF several inches, and has a
good color and stand. Cool weather
during the "stooling" period resulted
in the roots of small grain becoming
unusually strong. assuring strong
and healthy stalks and well filled
heads if conditions are favorable at
the heading period.
Corn planting had been completed
in some sections of the state before
the rains. and in other sections was
well along. With a few days Of clear
and bright weather corn planting
will be completed in the state at
large. The ground being in such eX-
cellent condition, corn and small
grain should make rapid progress
with the coming of warm weather.
There now is ample moisture in
the ground to carry crops we'll into
the growing season. Reports from
the western half of the state are to
the effect hat crop conditions there
are as encouraging as in the eastern
section.

among the members of the bar of
this State for a change in our
State Constitution that will con-
stitute and establish a Supreme
Court in the State that will con-
sist of judges who are not con-
cerned in the cases tried in the
courts below. Good reasons for
the change may be presented.
Such a reorganization of our
courts would undoubtedly estab-
lish the one-judge system in our
Superior Court and Court of Gen.
eral Sessions in each county.
This judge, being unhampered by
the necessity of sitting in the
courts Of other counties, could de-
vote all of his time to the consid-
Grafton of cases within his juris-
diction, thus expediting justice
and disposing of criminal bust
ness more economically.
The increase of business in New
Castle county, owing to the rapid
growth of the city of Wilmington
will necessitate the adoption OF
the one-judge system sooner OF
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1916-03-01

later and the simplification of our
judicial system in that county. In
fact, the increase of business has
already necessitated an amend
ment to our Constitution consti-
ting one Judge quorum in our
Superior Court of General Ses-
sions, whic hcompletely disposes
of any argument, so potent in the
past, against the one-judge sys-
tenn. Such a change would dis
pense with the personal inconven-
fence now occasioned by. the as
signment of the judges residing
in one county to hold court in
other counties and the necessity
for the adjustment and many
times the delay Of the court bust
ness of one or all counties to meet
the exigencies of the situation.
The Judge would be relieved of
the embarrassment of being
called upon to pass upon and
sometimes reverse the decisions
of brother judge, with whom he
is almost daily sitting in other
cases in other courts.

For A Separate
Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of this
State, the highest judicial body in
the State, the court of last resort
therein, the court which sits in
final judgment upon all decisions
of any lower court of the State,
which may be questioned by an
appeal or writ of error therefrom
as now composed, consists in any
case of the judges of the State, or
at least two of them, who did not
sit in that case when it was tried
in the lower court.
Without criticising, or intending
any reflection whatever upon the
ability, integrity or judicial acu-
men of our judges, or in any way
quest n ing the sufficiency or
righteousness of their decisions,
we feel it incumbent upon us to
give expression to the widespread
and almost unanimous demand

ly threatened by the incongruou,
arrangement of our SunrarS
Court, that gives every opportnn
ity for misunderstanding and frio
ton to be created and arise he
cause of difference of opinion u
is to the credit and honor of onr
judges that such difference of
opinion has made no apparent dr.
ference in their association and
work in our courts.
Being cognizant of the stronc
sentiment favoring a separate
Supreme Court, and realizing that
such change, so much demand.
ed, can be secured only by an
amendment to. our Constitution
for that purpose, adopted by two
sessions of our General Assembly
we believe this an opportune time
for the presentation of this sup.
gestion to the public that the
same may have that careful and
deliberate consideration that such
a change in the judicial branch Of
our State government demands.

The judges of a Supreme Court,

The judges of Supreme Court
separate and distinct from any
other court, would approach the
consideration of any case free
and unhampered by any feeling
of delicacy, hesitancy, or regret,
at being compelled to pass in judg-
ment upon and possibly reverse a
decision of a brother judge with
whom he is constantly and con-
tinuously associated in the closest
intimacy of judicial brotherhood,
an association that necessitates
the constant interchange and
agreement of judicial opinion,
and sometimes acceptance and
dependence upon the experience
and opinion of one another.
This close association and NUT
ual respect and consideration for
one another's opinions enjoyed by
our judges makes for the better
ment of our courts and strength
ening of their decisions. But this
mutually so necessary for the
maintenance of the probity and
wisdom of our courts is constant

will obscure in a lawn, as one or
two heavy rains will beat down a
quantity of sucn material.
Before freezing weather is en-
tirely over, fresh grass seed
should be sown for it must be re-
membered that only by repeated
applications of grass seed can
good lawn be produced. The Or
binary seeding of grass on a new
lawn is one pound of seed to every
400 square feet-that is, to
piece Of 20 feet square. For le-
seeding a lawn, one-tenth to one
half of this amount should be
used, according to the condition
of the lawn at the time. For the
northern part of the United
States, Kentucky blue grass and
redtop are the standard varieties.
However, where there are many
bare spaces it will be found we'll
to use some white clover. About
one-tenth the quantity of clover
as of the other grasses mentioned
will be required.
Probably as good a time as any
to apply grass seed will be some
morning when the ground is froz-
en-, so that when the ground thaws
during the middle of the day the
sown seed will be covered suffi-
GENTLY to terminate we'll. The
most successful seeding is that
done while the ground is freezing
little each night and thawing
again in the daytime. Many peo-
pie have success in sowing grass
seed upon light snowfall at a
time when the snow is likely to
melt soon. With either of these
methods, however, there is dan
ger that birds will eat some of the
seed before it is covered in the
soil. In spite of this, however
| there is better chance of getting
! a good lawn by these methods
than when the seed is sown on
land that will not quickly cover it.
The last operation in the pre-
liminary spring care of a lawn is
l to give it a good rolling. This
: rolling, which should be done
t with as heavy a roller as can be
: handled, should not be begun
} however, until after the lawn is
t dry enough so that the roller
passes over it without sinking a.
2 any point below the general level
ID. If the land is too wet the roller
= will leave depressions. This roll
t ing should be done just as soor
| as the land is dry enough to per.
= nit it, as rolling compacts the sol
= about the roots of the plants
, brings them into closer contact
S with the soil, and gives them &
E better opportunity to make quicl
start as soon as weather condi.
2 tions are favorable.
Grass cutting should begin just
!, as soon as the lawn mower car
get a good hold. The very early
cutting may be made with the
lawn mower set close to the
e ground. AS soon as the growth
a of grass becomes a little less
| vigorous the mower should be sci
: just as high as possible. This high
y cutting should be done as fire.
: ouently as though the grass were
S being cut shorter.

EXPERTS
DISCUSS THE LAWN PROBLEM

A recent publication from the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
is of special interest to home own
ers who wish to get the best re-
suits from their lawns. Work
should begin, it tells us the last of
February or early in March. Too
many people delay giving any at
tention to their grass plots until
the weather becomes warm and
thus lose an opportunity to take
advantage of melting snow and
the alternate night freezing and
thawing of the ground.
If the lawn has not already
been fertilized, some form of
commercial should be used at
once. Manure applied this late
will not be effective in most cases
Ground bone is probably the best
fertilizer to use, although tank
age and fish scraps, some of
which, however, have an unpleas
ant smell, also give good results.
Prepared sheep manure is an eX-
cellent fertilizer for use at this
season. Cottonseed meal where
obtainable at low enough price
may be used to advantage. In
connection with these fertilizers,
however, it is desirable to use
some wood ashes or other fertiliz-
ers containing potash. AS fertil-
izers with this element are unus-
ually high priced this year the
natural inclination will be to use
minimum quantities. With soils
that have been we'll fortified in
the past, failure to use a normal
amount of potash will probably
not affect the lawn badly in one
season., There fertilizers should
be applied at the earliest possible
moment.
Temptation to get on the lawn
and clean it up is strong as soon
as the snow is gone and the
weather begins to settle. Impa.
thence, however, should be curbeC
until the ground is settled fairly
we'll so that footmarks will not
show in the turf. Where a lawr
has been trampled down during
the winter or played upon when i
was soft in winter or early spring
the owner should take steps tt
compact it's surface at the earlies
possible moment. This compact
ing, however, should not be done
until all trash has been removed
AS soon as the ground is sufficient
ly settled so that a rake does no
dig into the turf the owner shoult
rake it gently with wooden
toothed rake. Frequently, how
ever, all that is necessary is tt
pick off the litter. If lawn ha!
been covered with manure in thu
fall, it will be necessary to breal
the manure up with a rake in thu
spring and remove some of thu
coarser portions. a wooden rake
is best for this purpose, as it will
leave so much more of the fint
material upon the ground.
Do not rake off so much of thu
manure that the lawn will have ;
thoroughly clean appearance. Al
of the fine manure that the sum
