shal von Mackenzen's army is said to
be pushing back strong Russian
forceS. The, capture of the fortress
of Zamosc is'atmounced, bringing the
Germans to within about 37 miles of
the city of Lublin.
On the left bank of the Vistula sev-
eral successes are claimed by the
Austro -Germans, who say they have
occupied Josefow, a town on the river.
Frederick Rennet, discussing the situ-
ation in a despatch from Petrograd
to the Daily News, says:
1"Gen. Mackenzen's main army is
hurrying as rapidly as the light caval-
ry and artillery, picked troops and
motor transports can go across the
gap of broken country towards the
junction of the railway at Cholm.
The continued absence of rains in this
district favor his project, yet the Ger-
man General has before him a dan-
gerous passage across the marshy
fens in the region of Koval.
"Mackenzen's enormous fdrces are
trying their utmost to pierce the Rus-
sian line, but without success."
FRENCH VICTORY
IN DARDANELLES.
Six Lines of Trenches Won From the
'Turks in the Quadrila-
teral.
A despatch from London says: An
official statement given out by the
British Government announces the
capture of certain trenches in the
Dardanelles operations which com-
plete the capture of tbat part of the
Turkish line gained by the French on
June 21.
Sir Ian Hamilton, commanding the
allied land forces, in his second official*
despatch of the;weelc, records the re-
pulse of a vicious counter-attack by
the Turks, who were bent on reeover-
ing the lost ground south of the forti-
fied hill of Achi Baba and the Strong
position at Krithia, which the British
have, for some time been atteMpting
to envelop.
Despite the hard fighting ever since
the landing on April 25 the Franco -
British expedition only lately has
achieved anything notable toward
strengthening its hold on the tip of
the Gallipoli Peninsult, Achi Baba be-
ing a small Gibraltar, bristling with
machine guns, surrounded by barbed
wire and terraced with trenches. This
is the reason why an allied progress
is hailed with great satisfaction in
England.

men" that compose the great citizen After some weeks of this drill the
army have° been and are still carry-
ing on an incessant mimic war in
order to become fit to take the field.
For some months now countless
legions of- soldiers have been spend-
ing the whole of the working day in
real trenches in the far more inter-
esting pastime of potting away at
make-believe dummy heads that bob
up, by means of an electrical device,
out of opposite trenches.' Poor shots
are not wanted in this war:
The fresh artillery units, too, are
using new .guns with real shell and
high explosives, so that when they
get to the front they will know just
what their guns can do and will not
be disconcerted, therefore, by sur-
prises in the field. I remember watch-
ing last October a nunlber of re-
cruits that had joined a howitzer bri-
gade receiving their first lessons on
a wooden dummy on Woelwich Com-
mon.
The New Targets.
Late this spring I had many op-
portunities to study the great army
of volunteers receiving their finish-
ing touches -the infantry' at such
camps as Aldershot, Bisley, Salis-
bury, and Exeter, and the artillery at
Shoeburyness, at the mouth of the
Thames, at Lydd, and at Cosham,
near Portsmouth.
I had an excellent chance to see
these "German kokos," as Tommy
Atkins calls the new targets, one day
clown at Bisley Camp, Brookwood,
Surrey. Bisley is the home of the
National Rifle Association and the
scene in times of peace of the annual
international rifle competitions, at
which, incidentally, Americans more
than once have captured prizes.
These ingenious targets have made a
great hit with the men. Every time
a hit is made at a head the men feel
as though they had disposed of one
more German.
The targets are made of stout
cardboard cut in the rude outline of
a man's head. They are painted a
dirty light brown color -approximat-
ing, presumably, the complexion of a
soldier when actively campaigning.
They are set up behind a trench at
different ranges, and are worked
somewhat on the principle of the mu-
sician's metronome, but with elec-
tricity ,instead of clockwork as the will add materially to the catch in the
motive power. They appear from Gulf of St. Lawrence next year.
Brave French, Lady Bird
Mlle. Helene Dutrieu, twenty-five,
pretty, petite, and winsome, is the
world's champion air woman. She
arrived in New York aboard the S.S.
Rochambeau from France, where in
the early part of the war she helped
to guard Paris. Fresh from the battle-
fields, she will lecture on the use of
the aeroplane in the war. For her
daring in making night flights, she
was decorated by the French Govern-
ment with the Legion of Honor.
Three times while the Germans 'were
advancing on Paris she warned the
French of the approach of the German
aeroplanes. She was not a member
of the French military aero division,
all her flights being made unofficially.
For the last few months she has
been connected with the French am--
bulance corps. She ii a winner of
speed and distance prizes in the New
'York contests of October, 1911, and
the King of Italy's prizes at Florence
the same year. Mlle. Dutrieu first
became interested in aviation in 1908,
when she saw Wilbur Wright in his
aeroplane.

Off Bark, Says Expert. •
In practice summer pruning on a
considerable scale is not advisable.
It is difficult to see, when the leaves
are on, just which branches should be
removed, except in the case of dead
branches. One must be on his guard,
also, to avoid peeling off the bark
when it peels readily. Prunning is
lese expeditiously clone in summer
than when the trees are dormant.
There are occasions, however, when
one desires to complete work of
pruning begun early in the season.
There need be no fear of inpuring the
trees by taking off a moderate num-
ber of branches when the leaves, are
on, in spite of the fact that the reL
moval of leaves debilitates a tree. If
done early in the summer the injury
is less than after the summer growth
is nearly completed.
The removal of dead branches can
not affect the vitality of the tree, no
matter when done. Nor can there be
any serious effect if here and there
branches, which are too dose or -which
Cross, are removed. The thinning,out
of small, twiggy brooches for the
purpose of thinning the fruit is not a
harmful process in, early summer.
The drain on the tree is les than it
would be to bear all abnormally heavy
crop of fruit. There are a great
many trees which might be relieved
of a surplus of fruit May and
early June th good advantage.

Transport Sunk by British Submarine

ing to the Athens correspondent of
the Exchange Telegraph', Company. ,
r
artillery men are taken out to, say,
Salisbury Plain, where they fire real,
shells, Here what looks like waste
of work and material is colossal.
Corps of engineers first spend many
days' throwing up huge breastworks,
protected by complicated barbed
wire entanglements -all for practice •
-and then the artillery comes along
with high explosive shells and de-
molishes -everything-also for prac-
tice.
I was not permitted to visit Shoe-
buryness, Lydd, or Cosham, where
the heavy artillery and some of the
newest siege, guns were being tried
out,' but I wag lucky enough to be
able to get as,near to the ranges at
Cosham as to be able to see and hear
that guns of tremendous power and
range were being fired. The explo-
sions would shake the very ground
upon which I stood, though the guns
were five miles 'away, and after every
explosion huge, clouds of smoke and
debris would lie thrown hundreds of
feet into the air, I was told at Ports-
mouth that these big mortars, or
whatever they were, were being test-
ed against heavily armored reinforced
concrete and steel dummy forts.
Most of the material now being
turned out in the United States for
England will be used up on the quiet
countryside at home. Some of it will
go into the reserve, and the rest to
the front.
As a matter of fact there is no real
reason to believe that England's sup-
ply, or the rate at which it is deliv-
ered, is unsatisfactory,
New Use for Aeroplaries.
Keronlanes may' have as important
uses in peace as they are developing
for themselves in war. Since the
submarine became active it is claimed
that 'One of these, war vessels can be
spotted by an aeroplane even when
the slip is under water. It is pro-
posed to send out aeroplanes to scout
for seals, and when the herds are
located the fishing fleet can sail di-
rectly for them, instead of wasting
time in the hunt. Operations of the
sailing sealers during the last sea-
son wehte not successful, and the be-
lief in Newfonndland is that the util-
