Germans Make Big Dent in the
English Line in Belgium Sector

says more than 1880 prisoners were
taken.
The attack also extended farther
south, opposite Lam5aeFtzyde, but
here, after having temporarily driven
in the British advance line, a counter
attack forced the Germans back to,
their original positions.
Other Attempts Failed.
There have been no serious att
tempts by the Germans to break
through the British front in Belgium
since their two campaigns for Calais
in the early months of the war. The
first was checked along the Belgian
front by the combined British and
Belgian defense, aided by the Par
ticipation of British warships along
the coast. In the second battle of
Ypres in the fall of 1914 the Germans
sacrificed thousands Of men in ter
rife drive but failed to effect pene-
tration.

Great Silo Year, Says Prof. Larsen

Brookings, S. D.. July H.-On1y
three thousand of eighty thousand
farms in South Dakota are equipped
with silos. which means that enough
corn fodder in this state is going to
waste every year to feed a million
and a half more cows than we have
at present. According to Prof. 9.
Larsen Of South Dakota State college,
a million more cows would produce
a hundred million pounds more but
ter, one half million more calves, and
enough skim milk to feed these calves
and a million more pigs. The extra
amount of butter obtained from the
wasted fodder through silos would
supply an army Of 100000 men for
4 year. Therefore, "a silo on every
farny should be the slogan OF every
South Dakota farmer as an indica-
stion Of his patriotism.

says Profesaor Larsen, for If the

certainly is a fact that corn is con-

Airship Freight Across Atlantic

Henry Woodhouse is an advocate

Hearing friend remark something
to the effect that triplane could go
from New York to nondon in 4s
hours, Henry asked why SO slow.
Mr.. Wcodhouse is member of the
board of governors of the Aero Club
of America. Replying to a question
regarding G. Holt Thomas expression
that trans Atlantic airplanes will soon
carry passengers from New York to
London in two days at a profit charge
of $25 a trip, the Aero Club man said
"The distance is 5000 miles It
should be covered at an average
speed ofs10O miles an hour. don't
see why a passenger triplane should
not travel from New York to London
in 80 hours" continued the famous
authority on aeronahtics, in a quiet,
impassive manner which made his
statements more startling. Recently
the Curtiss company made a triplane
for the British government OF the
type which would be used for trans
Atlantic passenger travel. This plane
had an average speed Of Is miles an
hour. But 100 miles an hour could
be attained easily. Dirigibles as
well as triplanes could be used 4 Mr.
Woodhouse added In fact, dirigibles
have travelled distance of 5000 miles
carrying 40 or more passengers, No
airplane has travelled such a distance
with so many passengers. but We
