ROME. June 1s.-one Of tho many
signs that Austrian military ingenu-
ity and adaptability is by no means
at the end of it's tether Is the appear
ance of new kind of military ex-
pert, known as the sturmtuppen. or
"stormers." These men, now being
freely used in counter attacks against
the Italians. have been trained at the
front itself since last January to rush
upon the front line trenches. bombs
In hand, and assault them with ex-
treme ferocity. The 18th. 44th. 2sth.
9th and 10th Divisions are especially
we'll supplied with such experts, who
are remarkably clever in crawling
along with the utmost silence on a
sunny afternoon when fighting is slack
and destroying wire entanglements,
rushing upon men in trenches. climbing
up the most dangerous rugged points
of the mountains above Gorilla like so
many lizards their uniforms the color
Of the rock, and their movements as
1.-the and silent as those little crea-
lures.
These men are hardened to see every
comrade around them knocked out, yet
go on as If nothing had happened. Few
of the original sortie reach the trenches
they mean to bomb, but they who get
there do their work with such amazing
rapiditiy and daring that the Italians
at first thought them superhuman.
Now that the first surprise of their APP
pearance has worn Off they are recog-
nized as human, though extremely dan
gerous. And their supply appears to
be unlimited.
Trained in Glasses.
According to what prisoners say, the
Austrians are recruiting them from
marching battalions not yet split up
into regiments. In sight of the enemy

working Of very small, deadly. easily
carried machine guns. Several Italian
airmen have successfully bombarded
these men during their drill; but their
places have invariably been filled up
with fresh Glasses" better hidden be-
hind rocks or in the huge caves which
Austrians have extended and utilized
like so many underground fortresses.
Prisoners say these men were first
trained for the Russian front and took
part in the fighting in Volhynia in the
autumn Of 1915. They vary in size.
from contingents of 20 to 200 men.

They are especially used In surprise
attacks for taking prisoners and In
preceding the wave of a counter at
tack A favorite method is to send
out thirty-three men of the sturm-
tuppen to capture the Italians on an
advanced outpost, supported by dozen
or so Alpinists for wire-cutting and
a number of bomb throwers to follow
up.

picked up three dead bodies and three
more who had been knocked uncon-

amazed at the Reasoning"

PHILADELPHIA. June 30-President
Samuel Rea Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company today issued a formal
statement in which he expressed him
self as amazed at the reasoning and
discouraged by the conclusions" of the
interstate commerce commission in Its
rate decision. The statement says:
Il am amazed at the reasoning and
discouraged by the conclusions, in the
rate decision. The eastern railroads
are the great terminals for the whole
country, and absolutely require the Is
per cent increase Immediately. The
Pennsylvania system is indicative of
conditions on the railroads in eastern
territory. and it's operations verify the
estimates made for the commission.
The five months ending with May
show an increase of about per cent
in gross earnings, but decrease of
about 81 per cent in net operating in
come. or nearly sl0.500.o00 compared
with 1916. Cost of labor and materials
are still rising. especially fuel coal
which will be increased by several mil
lions over what was estimated in the
rate case.

FIND SOME GOOD
IN RATE DECISION
Financiers Believe Eastern
Railroads Will Benefit by
Commissions Ruling.
PRESIDENT REA IS AMAZED

By the Associated IreSs.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Financial In
terests extracted some comfort on pc
rusal today of the freight rates decision
of the interstate commerce commission.
although expressing general disappoint-
ment in common with railroad officials.
Stocks most concerned in the early re-
versal of two to five points were those
roads whose earnings Of recent months
have been poor or Indifferent. Shares of
many of the low-priced lines which
have passed throush prolonged periods
of reorganization also were affected.
High grade rails with few exceptions
rallied on the advance in equipment
and other industrials.
Railroad experts were of the opinion
that the commission had not based its
conclusions on existing conditions. The
heads of several western and south
western roads were quoted as saying
that the decision failed to take note
that operating costs have increased
fully 20 per cent.
It was believed that the eastern roads
would receive distinct benefit from the
commissions ruling and that estab-
lshed dividends would undergo no
change. 1t was considered as not i'm
probable that the roads least strong in
cash or financial resources would have
to modify or curtail proposed expendi-
lures for new construction or equip
ment.

THE SOY BEAN WILL
SERVE MANY PURPOSES
May Be Grown For Money Crop, For.
age, and Soil improver-WiII
Follow Oat Crop.

The soy bean Is very valuable
crop to grow at any time. It may be
utilized as money crop" where the
seed are harvested and sold to the
oil mills. It thus contributes to the
food supply. Twenty bushels Of seed
per acre Is q reasonably good yield.
and at the present price this yield
would bring a fair profit when the low
cost at which the crop may be grown
is considered.
Probably the greatest value Of the
soy bean, on the whole, however, is as
forage crop. When grown for this
purpose 1t should be planted thick in
the row and cut for hay. 1t makes a
feed almost equal in value to alfalfa
hay The harvesting period is usual
iy the latter part OF August or the
first OF September, when fair wealth
quently experienced in obtaining good
seed for planting and a poor stand OF
soy beans is common To guard
against this, the germinative quality
of the seed should be tested before
planting and the planting should be
done with care. Failure Will result if
the land for soy beans is poorly pre-
pared. The land should be we'll plow-
ed and pulverized. and the seed plant
ed not more than one inch to one and
one-half inches deep. The planting
may be done up to the middle Of July,
and on this account 1t Is one of the
best crops to follow the oat crop. On
poor land the rows should be from
two TO two and one-half feet wide. and
on fertile soil from three to three and
one-half feet Planting should be done
with corn or pea planter and about
one-half bushel of seed used per, acre.
If properly planted no hoeing should
be required by this crop and it will
need only TWO or three cultivations.-

FALL FLOWING HAS
MANI ADVANTAGES
Improves sell Texture; Kills Weeds
and 7sects; Saves Time in
che Spring Rush.

Fall plo wing improves the texture
OF the sol. and causes a greater libe-
ration of plant food due 70 the tc-
tlon OF the weather THAN spring plOw-
ing. BY turning under the organic.
cr Eegata ole matter in the fall il has,
OF course, more time TO rot and 10 be-
come thoroughly incorporated into the
soil
Fall plowing causes many weed seed
to germi~ate and the weeds to be
killed by cold weather. Many insects
are brought to the surface, also, to be
killed by the frosts
The time for fall blowing should be
largely a matter Of convenience. The
heavier soils may safely be plowed
first. Land with a great deal Of veg
table matter on it to be turned under
should be plowed early il order to give
this matter more time to rot.
There is not always sufficient time
in the spring for proper preparation
OF the soil, especially where the crops
are to be planted early, hence it is
good farm management to make
part of this preparation in the fall.
1t is not always best to plow sandy
lands and hill lands in tue fall Unlesr
