Napolcons famous saying that an

From many documents, as well as

Makeup of German Division.

Generally speaking q German divi-
sion OF three regiments, each made up
OF three hattalions with four COM
panics each, Is organized in forma-
tion depth for the attack. Two rcgi-
mcnts from the front line and sup
ports and third regiment from the
reserve. Each front line regiment has
ono battalion extended with three
companies in line and one behind
them. Tho two other battalions of
each regiment act as supports and the
third regiment Of the division Is in
the center and follows in reserve to
exploit any success gained. With it
go the guns or batteries ordered to
accompany the attack.
Artillery preparation of from two to
four hours changes to n carefully reg
ulated creeping barrage ut the mo-
ment when the infantry advance be-
gins and at the same moment sus-
taincd covering fire Is opened by The
heavy machine guns. These guns arc
the good smiths" of which the kaiser
spoke and under the protection OF
their blows the infantry comes on.
II the attack succeeds the first line
pushes on as far rs possible, leaving
hostile machine gun nests and points
of support to be dealt with by the
units following. But II the attack is
held up the front at once Is covered
by n machine gun harragc and the
process of infiltration begins.
Men. either individually or by small

so allow other groups to come on. The

heavy fire from other machine. guns
in the rear and fro:n ac' mpanying

It Is these small groups of highly

The Common Barberry Convicted.

The Common Barberry Convicted.
The common barberry has been
proved to be the arch villain in the
spread Of the black stem rust of wheat
which annually robs the farmers Of
the northwest Of millions upon mill
ions of dollars.
The campaign for the eradication Of
the barberry as the producer of the
spores which infect wheat, which was
carried on last summer. has brought
out abundant evidence to show that
the common barberry (not the Japan
ese barberry) is guilty. The evidence
runs like this:
Wisconsin farmers suffered serious
loss from stem rust of wheat last sum-
mer, and in every one Of large numbers
of cases investigated except two, the
infection was found to be directly
traceable to infected barberry plants
in the vicinity. As the spores from
the barberry may be carried far by
the wind, and as the common barber.

In Montana absolutely every case of
infection was found to be traceable to
the presence of infected barberry
plants.
Wherever the rust was found it
was found not far from infected bar.
berry plants, and the rust was worse
nearer the plants than farther away.
The only place where any rust could
be found in wheat up to the middle
of June was near barberry plants.
This and other striking evidence
leaves little doubt in the minds of
those who have campaigned against
the barberry that it is the principal
factor in spreading infection.
