BRITISH PRISONERS Gle
Half of Those Taken at kut Dead
From Abuse.

London, June 20.-The CORE
spondent of Reuters in Cairo says
he learns from most reliable sources
that large number of British and
Indian prisoners taken by the Turks
in Mesopotamia have succumbed to
ill treatment or lack of proper medi-
cal attention.
"A resident of Taurus says the
correspondent, testified that in the
prisoners camp more than half the
men captured at Kut-el-Amara are
now dead. 1t is noteworthy that the
Turks would not allow Swiss COM
mission to visit this camp, or other
camps of the same type"

GERMAN TORPEDO
SUPPLY WEAKENS

Washington, July II. = There is
some reason to believe that the Ger
man torpedo supply is weakening, says
the United States Navy league. The
increasing frequency with which mer-
chant ships are lodging German tor
pedoes suggests that the German tor
pedo is deteriorating in speed and in
accuracy of fire at long range
AT the outset. says the Navy
league statement, "the Germans were
extremely careful to conserve their
torpedoes. Merchant ships we're sunk
by gunfire where possible
But the arming of merchant ships
and the constant improvement in the
allies system of defense has driven
the submarines under water and fore
ed them to use torpedoes in almost
every attack. .s.
"The increase in the number of sub
marines has added further to the
strain on the German stock of torpe-
does. This unprecedented expendi-
ture of torpedces is beginning to tell
on the effectiveness of the U-boat war
fare"

Hawaii Exceeds Its Quota and Is Ex-

enpt From Draft.
Washington, July IL. - Explanation
Of the quota allotment for the selec-
tive draft army as announced shows
that the territory of Hawaii stands in
a class by itself among the states and
territories, already having furnished
nearly 1000 men as volunteers in ex-
cess of the number required from the
islands to fill up the first army.
Every other state or territory has
been benefited accordingly by a re-
duction in its net quota.
This accounts for the adjustment"
factor included in the tables fixing
quotas given out and also for the fact
that no quota is given to Hawaii and
that the territory will not be required
to furnish any men whatever under
the presidents call for 687, 900 to fill
up the regulars and national guard
and to make up the first 100000 of the
national army.

Whole Russian Line From Gulf Of Riga
to Roumania Alive With Battle.
Town Of Dolina Reported Occupied
by Slav Forces.
Washington, July 1.-THE whole
Russian front from the Gulf of Riga
to Roumania Is reported in official dis
patches from Petrograd to the Russian
embassy here to be alive with battle
The Germans are said to be rushing
UP troops from the Italian and French
fronts and to be entirely rearranging
their positions
On the northern front near Rfga
German reinforcements are rushing up
by sea transport On the Lemberg
front the troops are being shifted back
and forth by means of heavy automo-
biles in an attempt to prevent further
advances by General Korniloff. On the
southern front, in the Carpathians, the
Austrians are said to be in full fight
London, July 17.-Although the
movement of the Russian infantry en-
gagged in General Korniloff's big Of
fensive in Eastern Galicia is being
hampered by bad weather the Cos
sacks apparently have been able to
keep up their dashing tactics. This is
indicated by a report from Petrograd
that the town of Dolina has been oc-
cupfed by Russian forces.
If this announcement proves accur-
ate it means an advance of more than
thirty miles for the Russians since
the opening of the drive south of the
Dniester week ago. t.H@ -
Two-thirds of Way Won.
The official reports have placed
them nearly two-thirds Of this distance
from their starting point, as Kalusz
taken by Korniloff's troops last. week,
is some twenty miles from Stanislau
which virtually was their place of de-
parture ,.
At kalusz the Russians were estab-
lished on the westerly bank of the
Lomnica, whence the Austrians had
not been able to drive them, although
heavy attacks had been launched. in
the attempt.
The hard fighting that has marked
the last few days xalong the French
front in Northern France still con-
tinues. During the night the Germans
made a desperate attempt to regain
the important observation posts they
lost when the French on Saturday
took strongly fortified position in the
vicinity of Mont Haut and the Teton
in the Champagne. The attacking
forces were able to make no impress.
sion whatever on the Teton positions
and at Mont Haul they recovered only
a narrow foothold ON the edge of the
disputed ground.
The French, in local operations,
made some progress south of Allies on
the Afsne front and repulsed several
strong attacks near St. Quentin and
South Corbeny

BoosTs STRAWBERRIES
GROWN NEAR ST. MARIEs

In a recent number of the
Farm and Fireside, a national
farm paper published at Spring
field. Ohio, appeared the follow
ing article in regard to straw
berries grown by H. Rowinsky on
his Harrison Flats ranch THE
Pines"
THE Strawberries are grown
at an altitude of 1900 feet above
sea level on s25-an-acre stump
land which is a part of what was
the Occur d'Alene Indian Reser-
walton in Benewah County, Ida
no. There are still thousands
Of acres of stump land just as
well adapted to berry-growing as
is Mr.. ROwinsky's. This is a nat
ural berry country, but the ber-
ries mature late and are ready
for the market after strawber-
ries grown on the lOwlands are all
out of season.
'Mr. Rowinsky begins to pick
his Strawberries about June 18th
and continues until about Aug.
ist. He has picked as high as
100 marketable strawberries
from a single two-year-old SEN
ator Dunlap plant. The berries
are shipped by way of the Red
Collar Steamship Line to st.
Maries and Spokane, where they
bring from $3.50 to 1925 a
crate of "a pint boxes.
His plan of raising these ber-
ries is to take runners from one
year-old plants, setting them
about May list, IA inches apart
and three feet in the row. All
runners and blossoms are kept
off the vines the first year, and
frequent cultivation is given to
develop the plants as large as
possible. The following spring
the cultivator is started as soon
as the ground is fit and continued
until the plants are in bloom. A
grass mulch is put on which
holds the moisture for a long
picking season. By means of
vigorous thinning and plenty of
cultivation the stand of straw
berry plants is held in good con-
dition for three crops then the
field is plowed and potatoes are
planted the following spring. BY
this system Mr.. Rowinsky keeps
his land free from strawberry
diseases and raises crops of
Strawberries of which he has
every reason to be proud.
