RUBSIANB CLING TO WARBAW.
Invaders Have Been Unable to Move
For 3ome Days.
London.—The stubborn resistance
the Russians are offering to the
Austro-Oermans and the slowness
with which the Invaders have been
able to move during the last few days,
has led to the belief In some quarters
that the German supply of ammuni
tion is diminishing and that Russia
may yet save Warsaw.
Previous German tactics, however,
have been to follow a temporary
Blowing down with greater efforts and
when Field Marshall voxy Mackensen
has concluded his operations In the
southeast, Field Marshall Von Hinden
burg is expected to renew his heavy
blows on the Narew front.
For the moment, therefore, the
greatest interest attaches to the
southeast, where according to Berlin,
the Germans have extended their
bridgehead positions south of War
saw; the Austrians have gained a de
cisive success to the west.

Many Elements Arise to Confront Con
ferees In Their Efforts to Settle
the Trouble.
Washington. The Pan-American
1 j Conference considering means of re
storing peace to Mexico adjourned
after developing no diverengence of
opinion as to Its general purposes, but
- leaving undecided the exact course to
be pursued. It will reassemble In New
York soon,
t Meanwhile the Latin-American dip
lomats will communicate with their
governments and Secretary Lansing
, will confer with President Wilson.
It was reported that the general
form of the final appeal to the fac
tional leaders had been agreed upon
by the conferees and adjournment
taken while Mr. Lansing laid It before
the President. The secretary was
said to be at Wiprk on a draft of the
appeal in consultation I "'with Secretary
Lane who has kept in close touch with
the Mexican situation. The message
will be addressed to the Mexican peo
ple. Copies will be presented to the
various Mexican leaders and gover
nors of the Mexican states, without
regard to what faction they belong.
Two days of conferences and hear
ing reports have brought all the par
ticipants in accord with President
Wilson's general plan, which is prem
ised on the fact that the great ma
jority of the people of Mexico desire
peace. The conferees were impress
ed that while the armed forces are In
position to keep the country In a state
of turmoil, they are, nevertheless,
only a small proportion ""of the people
of Mexico.
While all the participants have slg
| nlfled their willingness to co-operate
with the President's plan to induce the
, military factions to enter another
peace conference the South Ameri
cans are not sanguine of success un
, less some way can be found for the
elimination of the military leaders
. and the recognition of all classes in
Mexico.

WHITE HOLLAND IS FAVORED
Breed of Turkeye That Do Not Wan
der Away From Home—Hens Ne*t
In Any Convenient Plsce.
Until recently the Mammoth Bronze
turkey was In a class by itself, and
was known as the king of domestic
birds, but by scientific breeding the
White Holland variety has become a
close rival of the old favorite and
promises to gain in popularity over
the Bronze within a very few years,
says #n Illinois writer In Farmer's
Review.
There was a time when I read ad
vertisements which described the
White Holland turkey as "the kind
that stays at home." I could scarce
ly believe that It was In jyicgrdaocs-
With a ttlrlfey's nature, whatever breed
they chanced to be, to "stay at home.'
Personal experience has proved that
the White Holland will not wander
as do the Bronze and Bourbon Red,
the only other varieties of the tur
key family with which I am ac
quainted.
In the laying season White Holland
hens are content to nest in any build
ing about the place, in straw sheds or
nearby shocks of corn and do not
resent being disturbed.
When the poults are very young It
I* not necessary to keep the turkey
hen penned up more than a week, for
she will go only a few yards from the
coop, as she seems to realize tbe help
lessness of her flock. Later, as the
turkeys grow larger and stronger, the
mother hens pick their way slowly
thiough an adjoining meadow or Held
fo) a few hours each day, always com
ing home early in tbe afternoon. At
no time during the summer or fall
do they go any distance from home,

snd they make s practlcs of coming

Wblts Holland bear confinement

key for tbs breeder with limited

Berlin, bjr wireless to Tuckertowa,
N. J.—Waraaw was taken by German
troops, according to official announce
ment made at German army headquar
ters.
Bavarian troops under the command
of Prince Leopold broke throogh the
forta of the outer and Inner lines of
the clty'a defenses where the rear
guards of the Russian troops made a
tenacious resistance.
Continuing the report from head
quarters says:
"The German armies under Gener
al von Scholz and Oeneral von Call
wlti advanced In the direction of the
road between Lomsa, Ostrov, and Vl
zkow and fought a number of violent
en«a?em«ot*. The grave tad. desper
ate resistance of the Russians on both
aides of the road between Ostrov and
Koian was without suocess.
"Twenty-two Russian odicers and
4.840 soldiers were taken prisoner*.
The Oermans also captured IT ma
chine guns,
"German cavalary defeated In Cour
land detachments of Russian cavalry
at points near Genalze, Btrschl and
Onlskszahty. A total of 2,225 Russian
prisoners were taken.
"The situation near and to the north
of Ivangorod remain* unchanged. |
"The campaign •is being continued j
between the upper Vistula River and
the River Bug. German cavalrymen
have entered Wladlmlrwolynsk, on '
the Bug Rivjjr. |
"In the Vosgea there has been a
new engagement near the Lingskopf."
With the Russian admission In laat
official communication that the Rua- '
slan forces defending the Blonle front
had been withdrawn all hope that
War*aw could be saved was abandon
ed.
The outer line of fort* to which
the Russians withdrew are only six
miles from the center of the capital
and these defenses apparently were
carried, the inner Hne of defenses be- '
Ing captured In time to enable the
victors to enter the city early In the i
morning.
The statement from Petrograd that j
the Russian retirement to the Blonle- :
Nadxaryn front had been carried out '
unhindered was taken here to Indicate
that Grand Duke Nicholas had every
thing In readiness for the evacuation
of Warsaw Itself and the announce- !
ment In Berlin's statement that only •
a stubborn rear guard blocked the ad- 1
vance of the Oermans seems to eon- '
Arm that the main army with Hs guns '
had escaped being caught In the cita
del.
What part of the army of Grand (
Duke Nicholas was able to extricate
Itself from the enfolding line of field
Marshal von liindenburg coming from
the north is Increasingly problem#*!- !
eal.
It is believed that this pressure
from the north was one of the chief
reasons for compelling the Anal aban
donment of Waraaw In order to per-,
mlt the Grand Duke to send reinforce
ments to save his right wing.
The occupation of Warsaw also will
have the effect of releasing large Qer- 1
man forces, "concentrated on the re
duction of the etty and permit them to i
turn westward for renewed opera-1
ttons against the Anglo-Trench Allies.
The British military authorities j
agree that the fall of the city will 1
have far-reaching affects on the east
ern and western war theaters.
The Brat determined drive again*
Warsaw from the west occurred laat
October. Within a* short time the
German advance guards penetrated to
within M miles of the city. Roselaa
reinforcements from Oallcla, war*
brought up and the Oermans wsre
swept back to their borders.

curred In PebruSy after the Russians

of the boat. The boat was low down
tn / til* water and the slightest tilt
would have caused K to taka In water.
It Is thought that ons of the men
raised up causing the boat to dip.
Owing to the weight of engine and
small slse of the craft a Httie water
caused it to go to tfce bottom Instant

States to neutfral European countries
Indicate that some of these goods find

along the same lines as American ex

The report also shows that while

UNWISE ACTION HURT FARMER.
President Harding of the Federal Re-
I serve Board Compares Conditions.
Washington.—Conditions that con
front the south in handling the 1915
cotton crop and conditions a year ago
are contrasted in analysis by W. P. G.
Harding of the Federal Reserve Board
in the current Issue of the Federal
Reserve Bulletin.
The position of cotton today is
much stronger, flnactal and other
conditions are much better than a
year ago, In Mr. Harding's opinion,
and If the people of the south will
not weaken their position "by unwise
action" they have little to fear. 'The
cotton tragedy of 1914," says .Mr.
Harding, "will be succeeded In 1915
iby nothing more serious than a
' drama."
j Mr. Harding warns the south In iU
desire to see a broad market eetab
! llshed for cotton to do nothing to em
j barrass President Wilson In his con
duct of International affairs. U should
be remembered,", say* Mr. Harding,
, "that the President owes a higher „„
| duty to the south ,to the whole coun
try and to mankind, at this juncture
than establishment of cotton value.
