The fi'ing of the complaint by Gen eral Pearson under the Wisconsin "discovery" statute created a stir a few weeks' ago,' for it sought toforce the officials of the Allis-C 'h aimers Company to disclose its business rela tions with others for the manufacture of war munitions. The answer of the company was mat rearson noi oc- ing a stockholder, had no right to in quire into the company's business. The general is said to have arrived recently from Europe. His friends at Allentown, Pa., where he long made his home after the Boer War, believe that he went to Germany and capital ized his professional baiting of Eng land to get backing for a campaign in America. He is said to have re marked t hat he "had a rod in pickle" for President Wilson, for the Presi- font's" stand on neutrality, and would embarras ihe administration if he could. Lond In Limelight Pearson has been in the limelight for many years. He reached America as a Boer war hero, oppressed, hunt- d and spied upon the Brtish Gov ernment, because, h sa:d, he had re fused to take the oath of alltigiance to the crown. He claimed he had bee n a millionaire i n South Africa He claimed England hud set a price upon his head, after telling the King in Windsor Castle what he thought of him. How he escaped from the English court he never esplained, and it annoyed him to be questioned on this point. The general was not to play ft minor role, even in democratic Amelia. He and cane back a few months later with wht purported to be a charter "( in Castro giving him a grant of 18, 100,000 acre s of land In Venezuela, raid , he began to talk of big coloni zation scheme. He actually managed to see J. Pierpont Morgan and put the plan before him. Morgan received a generous denunciation when lunde elined to finance the enterprise. 'A few Allentown friends put up some money for investigation purposes, and the general bestowed imagiuary mil lions upon them. Then the general claimed a rubber concession of teh million acres in Brazil, and planned to send a party of Allentown friends to England to sell the rubber stock and float the enterprise. Accused Knox of Conspiracy Suddenly, however, the general an nounced in wrath and indignation that the South American enterprises were impossible to fulfill on account of the opposition of Secretary of State Knox, whom he accused of doep eonspiracy to ruin him, under the inspiration of King Edward. Pearson dubbed Knox a "dollar diplomat" and got consid erable publicity at the ti me. Later on, the general sprung a plan to dig up all of Lehigh County for gold. He explained that there was undoubtedly more gold in the region than was necessary to make million aires of its residents, and all that was needed was to secure the proper ma chinery to extract the gold. ' He then tried to float a company to make the machinery. But nobody would put any money into it, and the gen eral, in great digust, left Pennsylvania Dutch for real Dutch. From Hol land word camo that he was ex ploiting a proposed railroad i n Jav. The comic opera stunts of the gen eral were quite forgotten when he appeared a few mouths ago in Amer ica and sprung his suit in tho Wis consin courts. The general always wears tho khaki uniform of the mili tary and bis appearaneo is expected to be dramatic.

An official statement issued today admits that Austro-German columns "pursued" Russian troops, which moved to a new position between the Pilica and the upper Vistula. It is contended, however, that at tacks against the recently occupied front in the direction of the Stry and Dolina were fruitless, as were assaults along the Pruth. The communication follows: "Since the morning of the 16th in the Shavli region the battles have continued to develop favorably for us. Our troops mossed the Dubissa and attacked the Germans, gaining possession of their trenches and cap turing several hundred prisoniig. "Between the Pilica and upper Vistula enemy columns pursued our troops, which moved to a new point. "Near Chilineff and Russkibrod our sudden counter-attacks inflicted severe losses on the enemy's advance guard. "In the district between Wierzb nik and Opatow, well as south of the latter, impetuous attacks by us on the 16th drove back tho enemy's leading columns more tha.n six miles. "In the direction of the Stry and Bolina the enemy delivered fruitless attacks against the front which we recently occupied, losing several hun dred prisoners.

There is valuable inforssatiaa ia this article and should be read by every person whose oewupatiea is cultivating the soil. "One of the first and moat prossi iii ni results obtained, along with lb a work in other southern States, was the demonstrating to the world the woadr erful corn growing possibilities ef Southern soils. Until the members ef the Corn Clubs began to ttow the enormous yields of 200 bufBear aaie more of corn to the acre, and to grow it cheaply, other parts of' the ooaa try had not thought of the South as a corn section. So it remained for the boys between the ages of em aaa eighteen years to prove tbatM corn belt of the natioa Jm South, and it is only a questi few years now. since we bavs t aroused to our possibilitie the South will be growing all ih4Mfk it needs. - ijyHBirf - "The Corn Clubs hare f urnished ea opportunity for teaching tAjPfjj few of the simple fundament ciples of good farm praea by their open-mindedness lingnes s to try the methods ad'l they have been averaging froi eight to sixty-five bushels of eera per acre, at a cost of from thirty-tye ta forty-five cents per bushel.

"We find that these elubs developia the child self-reliance and initiative, a disposition to take what he has and make the most of it.
