ORCHARD AND GARDEN
August 1854

Radishes and lettuce may be sown
now for late fall use.
The Lombardy popiars give neither
shade nor firewood. Why grow them:
Do not let melon vines grow too
thick. The crop is decidedly cut
down by too many vines.
Keep late crops, as cabbage, celery,
and caulifiower we'll cultivated if you
wish a good yield.
Remove all coarse weeds from the
lawn or yard now. Many of them are
nearly ready to scatter seed.
Strawberries may be planted this
month if there is plenty of rain and
the plants do not have to be carried
far.
Blanch early celery with boards or
paper. In September and later, after
the hot weather. earth may be used.
A good time to trim the currant and
gooseberry bushes is just after the
fruit is picked. Burn all the trim
mings at once and destroy many in
sects.
Onion tops may be pushed over to
the ground by rolling a barrel over
them or using the back of a rake. If
they ripen promptly.
Cut out all fire blight in orchard
If branches only are effected cut them
out and burn them. If the whole tree
is effected. cut it out and burn it at
once. Disinfect all pruning tools
frequently so as not to spread the dis.

Church Membership in the
United States Shows LARGE
Increase in Ten Years

During the ten-year period ending
December 81. 1915. the total church
membership in the United States in
creased from 35.O6sO5s to 4o.044,374.
or 1919 PEE cent; the number of
churches from 212.23O to 22S,OO7, or
"a per cent; the number Of ministers
from 164.s3O to 1911, 100, Or 1913 per
cent; the number of Sunday school
scholars from 1881 81 to 20569. S31,
or IS per cent, and the number Of
Sunday school officers and teachers
from 1,746,074 to 2,049.293, or ia per
cent. ---e.sl.-s.s Il, s;.xx.
These data. developed by the census
bureaus recent inquiry relating to re-
ligieus bodies, are contained in state
ment compiled under the supervision
of William c. Hunt, chief statistician
for population.
The number of denominations COW
cred was 201, an increase of Is over
the number reported for 1906. This in
crease is the net result of the CONSOLE
dation or dropping out Of 16 small de-
nominations and the addition of 20
small denominations, comprising some
in existence in 1906, but not then
brought to light, and others resulting
from consolidation of formerly inde-
pendent churches.
! Of the 42,O44.374 church members re-
ported, 15,742,262, or 37.4 per cent,
were Roman Catholics; 25O.34O, or six
tenths of per cent. were adherents of
the eastern orthodox churches (mainly
Greek and Russian), 35999S, or nine
tenths Of per cent, were members of
Jewish congregations.
The remainder, 25691, TIA, or GIL
per cent, comprised the membership
Of the various Protestant churches. to.
gether with that OF a few bodies, such
as the Latter Day Saints, the Spirit.
ualists and others not usually consid.
cred as belonging to any of the groups
named. -
In comparing the figures given II
should be borne in mind that the Ro
man Catholic and eastern orthodox
churches include in their membership
all children who have been baptized
whereas the Protestant churches dc
not, as rule, receive young children
as members, and that in the case OF
some of the more orthodox Jewish or
foundations only the male incorpora'
tors or those who have bought shares
or memberships are treated as mem.
bers.
The foregoing percentages, there.
fore, overstate the relative strength OF
the Roman Catholic and eastern or.
thodox churches and understate that
of the Jews.

What was once his nations name.
So I asked him. "Tell me true,
Are you Pole or Russian Jew,
English, Scotch, Italian, Russian. :
Belgian, Spanish, Swiss, Moravian
Dutch or Greek or Scandinavian"
Then he raised his head on high,
AS he gave me this reply:

In this land of Liberty.
In my soul as man to man,
l am just American"

allowed to see his wife. This was de-

him instruct his wife to burn all his
papers.
Before Mrs. Henkes could carry out
the order her home was entered and
the discriminating letters and papers
were seized.
The proceedings of the court
martial. which met at the headquar-
ters of the Department of the East
on Governors Island, were made pub

These show that from May 27 on,
both here and in France, Captain
Henkes, by repeated appeals to the
War Department and the adjutant
general of the army. attempted to
resign from the service rather than
fight Germany.
Captains Explanation
His explanation, as contained in a
letter to the adjutant general from
France on June 20, reads:
Further service must sooner or later
bring me in conflict with those who are
my relatives and my friends, although
for the time being legal enemies

The oath of Office which Captain
Henkes was convicted of attempting to
violate, includes the promise that the
officer would Support and defend the
Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do

faith and allegiance to the same"

oay the German bombardment on vari
Gus points within the American lines
northwest of Toul was considerable
more intense than usual To-dav tho
enemy, who was more active in MANY
ways apparently was using still more
guns than customary. Little damage
has been done by the BON bardment al
though three men were slightly wound
ed early this morning
Enemy patrols last night made per-
! sls1ent efforts to penetrate the Ameri
can wire defences, but without sac

preparatory TO contemplated raid.
Large troop movements are going on
back of the enemy's lines during the
night. ""' '''s ''ie
mere was no aerial activity to-day
owing to weather conditions.
Germans tried the tactics Of concen-
tratlng artillery fire on one of the
American positions, apparently with
the purpose of obliterating it. The
American guns immediately punished
herman oatteries with a doubly
heavy retaliatory fire and then swept
the enemy lines with vicious bar
rage. undoubtedly inAicting consider
able damage.
The German guns promptly ceased
tire. Whether they were silenced or
stopped firing for other reasons is un-
known, but since that time hardly
a shot has been fired from that point
Friday night a German patrol was
found once more within the American
wlre. 1t was driven back by machine
gun and rifle fire. American patrols
worked freely, without interference.
The Germans yesterday dropped into
the American trenches an entirely new
type Of bomb. resembling a baseball
No damage was done
Along the front generally there was
less firing. owing to low visibility. The
Germans continued to shell their tar
gets in the towns behind the lines,
