HOW SNAKES HELP FARMER
Men Who Knows Points Out How
Valuable to the Tiiler of the
Soil Are Their Services.

Snakes are Il valuable asset and
there should be u campaign against
killing them. writes Gayne I. h. Nor
ton, in the American Forestry Maya
zine. The article goes on to show
what the snake does for food conser-
walton by ways of killing rodents and
insects, the greatest enemies to grain
that man knows. The public has be-
come acquainted with snakes as never
before, writes Mr.. Norton, because of
the thousands who have been engaged
in the campaign for war gardens that
has been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
"With this summer the millions of
war gardens have given the snake pop
ular interest. Tremendously increased
tillage has brought people and snakes
together.
"Unless much education work is
done the number of snakes that will
be killed next year by the well-mean-
ing but misinformed gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are Il national
asset worth many millions of dollars
and should be conserved. The rela.
ton they bear to successful crops is
important-more important than even
the average farmer realizes"

many Russians do not read.
1t will be the business of tho propa-

Unity without supplies is regarded
useless. Hence. the mission must help

sured in the chaos of the Russian diff

New York. N. Y. July 1%2.--Italiar
operations in Albania are puzzling fol-
the moment as to the detectives which
are being sought. The new offensive
has come without any warming and II
is difficult to determine what the Ital-
ian general staff has in mind. There
are four possible reasons for the drive:
First, to supply the demand for
new victories, which have been
. stimulated in Italy by the recent
successes against The Austro-Hun.
garians.
Second, TO create a diversion that
will prevent the Austro- Hungari-
ans from concentrating all their
forces for a lew attack along the
Piave.
Third. to encourage the spirit Of
revolt among the Slav national
tiles in Austria Hungary.
Fourth, to prepare the way for
an allied offensive in the Balkans.

PURPOSE OF ALLIED DRIVE
IN ALBANIA IS NOT YET CLEAR

Very likely the first three reasons
are acting comparatively. Whether the
final, and by far he most important
possibility, is being seriously consid-
cred must be regarded doubtfully un-
I'll there is more evidence.
For the allies to attempt a major adj
vance in the Balkans at his time would
be a serious drain on their strength.
Greek aid would be necessary to a very
large extent and 1T is not probable
that the Greek army is as yet supplied
with munitions of war on a sufficient
scale TO give reasonable surety of sue
cess.
If, however, at a later time, i. is the
intention of the allies TO attempt to
overthrow the Bulgarians. valuable
shipping space could be saved by mov-
ing supplies into Greece overland
across Albania. An advance of but a
short distance by The Italian beyond
their present front would liberate eX-
cellent roadways for the purpose.

Washington. d. c.. July 11.-All the
allies today are scrambling for gener-
ous representation on the propaganda
police force which will accompany the
.American-allied economic mission to
aid Russia.
How to divide the apportionment and
keep peace and contentment in the in
ternational family is one of the big
problems President Wilson n his adj
visers are nov disentangling.
Britain wants to share equally;
France realizes that she and America
are perhaps the best liked by Russians;
Japan says she ought to be heavily rep
resented as one of the most interested
of neighbors.
Thus goes the friendly discussion.
But the settlement of the basis of rep
resentation offers really a complicated
problem. The adjustments and explain
ations thereof must be made without
injury to international feelings-and
the national prides and what APP
proaches j%ealousies of such a family are
intricately balanced.
The whole problem is authoritatively
analysed thus:
Russia must be united within herself.
Then she must be united against the

Fare Far Behind

With the British Armies in France.
July 12.-Allied aviators apparently
have attained absolute mastery of the
air.
They are carrying on the aerial war
fare behind the German lines. Al
though given the best weather of the
whole war there is comparatively lit
tie battling, due to the extreme eau
ton of the German airmen. Their ac-
tivities are confined to night bomb
ing, while the British bomb all night
and fight all day when anything can
be seen.
The boches conduct their bombing
operations from an altitude of about
10000 feet, owing to the fire from our
'Archies."
The British bombers drop down to a
height of 500 feet or even SO feet be-
fore they let loose their high explos-
ives. This makes for extreme accur-
acy.
A prisoner relates the tremendous
havoc wrought on the Bapaume rail-
way and station, where a British plane
swooped low and dropped a bomb in
the midst of troops waiting to board a
train.

cobwebs to cover their machines. One

25 boches in the last 80 days, his total

The Australian line appears to be v
