REPORTED GAINS BY THE BRITISt Artillery Duel*, Trench Raiding an< Airplane Bombing Feature Operations on Western Fronts. Except for an advance by the Bri tish over a front of nearly a mile ant < three-quarters north of Louvera which lies about midway betweei Bapaume and Cambrari, artillery duels, trench raiding and airplan< bombing operations have featuret the fighting on the western front ir France and' Belgium. There was no infantry action Sur * day on this front, the British having carried out their attack against th< ^ ? J J L4. ?AM|. uermans oaturuay m^uu av mc ?uut time Gen. Neville's forces were penetrating German positions near Lorn baertzyde, Belgium, and inflicting casualties on the defenders. Berlin reports tne repulse with heavy losses of French attacks Saturday at Laffaux, northeast of Soissons. British airmen are continuing their fighting, bomb dropping and scouting operations over the German lines in France and Belgium. A foray 50 miles behind the German front was one of. the exploits recorded for the aviators Sunday. Considering the results they have achieved in fighting, bombing and observations, the British airmen count the cost in the loss of airplanes a small one. London reports that in naval operations off Zeebrugge, two German torpedo boat destroyers were torpedoed. One of them sank and the other was at least heavily damaged. A landing by Russian troops on the coast of Asia Minor has been established grom a torpedo boat in the Black sea. The operation was carried out at the mouth of the river Termeh, 180 miles west of Trebizond, and a Turkish observation post was burned. Then Turkish sailing vessels with valuable cargoes were captured by the Russians and taken to Treizond. The usual artillery duels are in progress in the Austro-Italian theatre. There has been no change in the situation on the Macedonian front British aviators have dropped bombs on Teutonic allied positions in the Vardar river valley and at Chestovo, northwest of Lake Doiran.

C?The sweet potato blooms under favorable conditions, but produces no seed. It is 1 propagated from the tuberous roots and viije cuttings. Sweet potatos may be bedded the latter part of March or early April, according to ] I he advancement of tie season ?r i the latitude. The roots are bedded 1 on a warm exposure as follows: The j soil should be excavated four feet ] wide, four inches deep and of sufficient length to receive the quantity ] to be bedded. This excavation should ( be filled with unfermented stable 1 manure, over which soil should be spread to a depth of two inches. 1 Place the tubers, pressing each sep- i arately, using only perfectly sound ] tubers, into tne porous sou. uo not j allow them to touch each other, '< covering evenly to a depth of four j inches with porous soil. Mulch the j ?oil with c'ean straw to prevent ? washing or baking when watered, i When the first plants begin to ap pear removo the straw and stir the , soil lightly, sufficient to destroy | ?rass and weeds. The bed should be | watered late in the afternoon. ] Sprinkle with a watering pot, going ? aver twice in order to give time for the first sprinkling to abrcrb. THE GREATER LOVE. 1 .
