London. The armies in the great
centers of the present activity-the
Somme region of France, Russia and
Galicla evidently hare let up consid
erably in fighting and are indulging
in a breathing spell preparatory to
further attacks and counter-attacks.
The official communications dealing
with the operations in these sectors
tell of no single important engagement
or of any notable changes in the posi
tions of any of the belligerent.
Attacking in Echelon on a three
mile line, from the Heuse river to
Fleury, north of Verdun, the French
have captured . several German
trenches end organized points of sup
port. In the engagement 600 Germans
were made prisoners and ten machine
guns were captured.
On the Russian front Petrograd re-,
ports merely artillery duels and in
fantry attacks by email detachments,
while Berlin tells of Russian attacks
on the Stokhod and Taria river fronts
and of local Russian offensive on the
Strips, river in Galicla,' aQ of which
were repulsed.
Attacks by the Austrians against
the Italians at various points, includ
ing Monte Cimone, Monte Seluggio
and Oaetellatto, hare been repulsed
with heavy casualties, according to
Rome. '
The .Russians are keeping up their
advance against the Turks in the
Caucasus region.
The Germans have carried out an
other air raid on the eastern coun
ties of England the third during the
present week.
U. 3. OFFICIALS WATCH

President and Others High in Govern
ment Prepare to Offer Aid.
Washington. Officials of the Fed
eral government Including President
Wilson are closely watching develop
ments in the controversy between 225
railway systems and their 400,000 em
ployee and are preparing to offer every
possible aid in effecting an agreement
and avoiding a strike. The President
forwarded the labor department an ap
peal received from the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
through Harry A. Wheeler, chairman
of the chamber's "committee on rail
roads, declaring a strike inevitable
"unless some strong measures of in
tervention are speedily introduced,"
and urging an inquiry. Acting Sec
retary of Labor Post had not decided
whether action by the department
would be necessary.
The Federal Board of Mediation
and Conciliation, authorized by law
to attempt to avert strikes on rail
roads, also is keeping watch of devel
opments and its officials expect to
be called on as soon as the strike vote
now being counted, has been complete
ly canvassed.
Copies of the chamber's appeal to
President Wilson were forwarded to
chairman of the congressional com

Waiting for Him at the Edge of the

Baltimore. On the second anniver
sary of Germany's declaration, of war
against Russia, the German submarine
merchantman .Deutschland set out
from Baltimore on a return voyage to
Germany with a declaration of' confi
dence from her commander, Captain
Paul Kbenlg, that he would take her
home in spite of the heavy odds she
would face when the three-mile limit
In the Atlantic la reached.
The submersible was towed oat of
the slip where she was berthed 23 days
ago.' After getting into midstream
the towline of the tug Thomas F. Tlm
mins was cast off and the Deutschland
proceeded down the Patapsco River
under her own power. THe Timmins
went to one side, the coast guard cut
ter Wissahickon to the other, and the
harbor police boat T Annan brought up
the rear to prevent undue crowding
by the small flet of launches.
Captain Koenlg and his crew of 27
men put to sea with the knowledge
that a man hurried to a telephone
with a message to agents for the En
tent Allies that the Deutschland had
started. They knew how long he had
watched at a nearby pier, day and
night, but the little captain went out
of Baltimore harbor smiling and wav
ing his cap. His last words In the
harbor were of praise for America and
for his treatment here by Baltimore
customs authorities. To Guy Steele,
aurveyor of customs, he said:
"We came here dubious about our
reception. We go back certain that
the friendliest of feeling exists in
America for Germany. Tou have been
more than courteous and the Father
land will not forget it."
Captain Koenlg knows that eight
warships of the Entente Allies are
waiting for him at the edge of the
three-mile limit, spread out in a radius
of five miles.
"We shall have to pass unseen
within that radius in order to escape,"
he said. "We shall have to make that
paseage under conditions not entirely
advanttageoiis to us. With the water
at that point 150 feet Seep ft would be
easier. We could submerge deeply
enough to pass underneath the war
ships. But the water there is not 150
feet deep. fSVe shall, therefore have
to pass between the warships."
There were not more than a hundred
persons in the vicinity of the pier
when the submarine came out from
behind the screen of barges and be
sides two newspaper dispatch boats
there only were four launches in the
stream.

BUTTON CLOVER A PROMISING NEW PLANT
' " i STsi -Esp-g-s-sa-s-s-es-BBBBa-a-a-a-a-a-g
'gJ2jBSsSsssS '
Bur Clover Taken
Prepared by the United States 'Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Button clover Is a new pasture plant
which specialists In the United States
department of agriculture are now ad
vocating for use in the milder districts
of the Southwest and along the Gulf,
the South Atlantic and the Pacific
coasts. This plant will succeed, it is
said, wherever bur clover does well,
and it is to be preferred to the latter
U certain respects. Under favorable
eruditions it produces more seed and
it has no spines on the pod or bur. For
this reason it is particularly desirable
for ranges where sheep are pastured.
The great less of wool-occasioned by
the spiny burs of , spotted or toothed
bur clover getting into the fleece is
evidence, says Farmers' Bulletin 73Q, a
new publication of the department on
this nubject, of the value of a species
with a spineless. pod.
Button clover is as yet but little
known In most parts of the United
States. In 'general appearance and
manner ox - growth it resembles the
toothed or California bur clover and
the spotted or southern bur clover. The
.chief difference between It and these
two species lies in the burs. In the case
of button clover these are large and
spineless, while the burs of the others
are comparatively small and spiny. The
button clover pods ripen in early sum
mer and drop from the vines. In their
ripened state they are then available
at any time as food for stock.
For the best results with button
clover, a grbwing period1 with no ex-

tremes of temperature is essential.
The plant Is net adapted to sections
with a winter temperature below 18
degrees Fahrenheit, and It does not do
well in extreme- heat. In the United
States it is believed that it will do best
In a narrow strip extending along the
entire length of the 'Pacific coast, in
southwestern1 "Arizona and southern
1 Nevada, and along the Gulf and Atlan
tic coasts as far north as South Caro
lina. A fairly well-draiiied rich loamy
soli is desirable, but tLe crop can be
grown, on almost any soil which con
tains sufficient moisture. Under rather
arid conditions It makes a fair growth,
but In the dry. foothill pastures of Cali
fornia it has done no better than the
common toothed bur clover.
The principal value of the new plant
Is for pasturage. In the green state It
Is readily eaten by live stock and, as
has been saidy the absence of spines in
the burs makes it especially desirable
on sheep, ranges.. .This fact has been
recognized ,fpr jSome, jtLme in Australia.
In districts . which 'produce an abund

found that , fleeces often contain as

much as 25 to 80 per cent burs. This
means lower prices for the wool 'and
extra freight charges. With button
clover this trouble la of course elimi
nated. Button clover also makes good hay.
For this purpose it should be cut when
most of the pods are still green but
well developed, and just before the
leaves begin to falL If allowed to be
come more mature, many of the pods,
as well as the leaves, are lost In han
dling. A supporting crop of oats-ot
barley or some other grain should be
sown with the button clover in order
to facilitate cutting. There are, how
ever, a number of other legume crops:
that are more desirable for hay pro
duction than button clover, so that its
use for this purpose will no doubt be
very limited. For green manuring the
value of the new plant Is about the
same as toothed, and spotted bur clo
ver. Button clover can be easily estab
lished in pastures, for nothing more is
necessary than to scatter the seed in
the most favorable places. The work'
ing of the soil prior to sowing will per
haps aid in establishing a stand, but
except on good land this will hardly be
profitable. Ordinarily the most profit
able practice Is to sow the seed broad
cast and allow it to compete with other
pasture plants. Where the winters are
mild, the clover should be sown in the
fall, and if there are summer rains the
seeding should be done about the first
of September. Early summer seeding
in the cotton states is not advisable
Sown With the Button Clover.
In California, where dry weather pre
vails throughout the summer, the seed
may be sown at any time before tin
fall rains begin. In California, also.
and the other Pacific coast states where
bur clover is common, inoculation is
not necessary for the new crop. In
the southern and Gulf coast states,
however, inoculation is recommended
except on land that has previously
grown bur clover. Mixing soil from as
old field of bur clover with button clo
ver seed is one of the easiest methods
of securing inoculation. Only enotyrb
soil to dust the seed Is necessary. An-,
other method is to scatter soil from as
old bur clover field over the area to
be seeded immediately before sowing.
Sowing seed in the bur also seems to
insure inoculation. If no suitable soil
Is available for the purpose, inocula
tion may be obtained bv the use of ar
tificial cultures.
In comparison with the spotted and
toothed bur clover, button clover pro
duces a large amount of seed. The
harvesting of it Is rather difficult, how
ever, because the burs fall from the
vines so easily.

ROSPERITY FOLLOWS.
That little business, no lea than biz
raslness. Is -bettered by prohibition is
ihown by the following story told by
r. Harvey W Wiley:
Tt was Saturday afternoon in one
if the interior counties of Arkansas.
Jundreda ; of vehicles of all sorts
lrawn by mules, most of which were
nwgood condition, were picketed
iround t$e public square. The great
lepartment store, which my guide
wned, was filled! with colored people,
rhey were buying most liberally and
jeere extremely weS-dressed and well
ehaved. I was struck with their aj
-tearance and prosperity and happi
ness, and I was curious to know why
was that these people seemed so
nuch better oC than those I had seen
n other. localities. I asked the pro
prietor, who was freely giving credit
'jo his customers, if he did not lose on
riany accounts. He replied: 'Never
jne. How do you account for their
roperityr I asked. 'Strictly en
forced, prohibition was his answer.
If we -were to permit the saloon to
rome into this county again, it would
srreck our 'prosperity; It would ruin
nj business and send this town back
50 years.'"
HE DOE8NT WANT DRINK.
"Sober, reliable and honest bartend
er needs work badly; can open oys
ters, make sandwiches, etc; clean
worker; don't drink; good reference;

The above, want ad appeared in a
iaily paper. Another paper thus com
ments: "Don't drink!" Had that man been
advertising for a place in a fruit store
would he have said, "don't eat fruit?"
Had he been desirous of a place in a
slothing store would he have boasted,
"don't wear clothes?" What a
strange recommendation for a man to
offer In his own behalf: Tm just
the man for the place, for I don't use
the stuff you'll expect me to recom
mend to others."
