resource in constructing great mer-
chant fleet

struction within eighteen months will
be exceeded greatly if the plans of the

ESLAvS PURSUE
TE.U.TON FORCES.
Russians Make New Gains
on Eastern Front.
MANY PRISONERS TAKEN

Latest Report Tells Of Capture Of
Seven Thousand Men, Bringing Total
In Present Offensive to More Than
Twenty-Five Thousand.
London, July 1O.-New and powerful
blows are being struck by the Rus
slams in Galicia. Apparently they
have broken the Austro-German line
west of Stanislau and south of Ha-
licz, as the latest official report from
Petrograd not only tells of important
gains for the Russians in the Stanis-
lau area, but declares the Russian cav
airy is pursuing the retreating enemy.
This pursuit already has reached the
Lukya river
Halicz, the gateway to Lemberg
from the south, seems doomed to fall
unless the Russian onslaught is stop
ped quickly. A Russian push north
west from Stanislau would result in
Halicz being hemmed in on three
sides.
The renewed Russian onslaught in
this sector brought with it not only
additional territory by 1000 prisoners
and forty-eight guns, including dozen
large caliber pieces. The total Rus
sian captures of men in the present
remarkable offensive is mounting
rapidly and now is in excess of rs, 900.
Ready for Drive on Lemberg.
North of the Stanislau area General
Grusiloff is holding fast to his newly
wen positions near Brzezany and
Koniuchy, where his troops are we'll
placed for continuation of the drive
on Lemberg along converging rail
way lines. Austro- German counter
attacks here have failed to shake
the Russian possession of this valu-
able terrain
There is little except local fighting
along the British front in Northern
France, but farther down the line the
Germans are giving the French little
rest. Attack after attack is being
launched by the crown prince in des-
perate attempts to shake the French
from their positions along the Chemin
des DANES. There was another such
drive at Patheon, but like others that
preceded it the effort was unsuccess-
full.
Meanwhile such trenches as the
Germans were able to retain after
their repulse in the attack of Saturday
night in the Aisne region were wrest-
ed from them in greater part by bril-
liant counter offensive started by the
French
A withdrawal of Russian forces on
the front near the border between
Persia and Mesopotamia is announced
by the Russian war office.

Methods of planting corn by which
one or two rows of nearly-maturing
variety alternate with one or two rows
or a later maturing variety have
given higher yields than either vari-
ETY. planter alone, according to the
manual report of the Bureau Of Plant
Industry. Where there is likely to be
shortage of moisture during the
certain periods of the growing season,
dependence should not be placed in
single variety; under such condi-
tions two or three varieties which
differ considerably in length of grow
ing season should be grown.
