HRKST-LITOVSK HAS FALLEN. Most Important" Achievement by Teu tons Since Capture of Warsaw. London, Aug. 20.-Tho Austro Germans to-day marched into Brest Li to vs k, router of the Bug Uiver line of defenses and main concentration center. The Russians put up a des perate resistance to the Cern?an ad vances, but made no attempt to de fend the fortress itself, evacuating it as they did Ossowetz. Petrograd dispatches had indicat ed the Russians were planning to take up defensive positions farther east. The (lennans now hold the entire railway line from Chel?n to Bialy stok. As the Russians have already evacuated Bialystok, the lesser for tresses of Grodno and Olita are the only strongly defended positions re- . mailling in the hands of tho Rus sians. The (lennans are nearing both of these lines, and they proba hiv will be given up when they have fulfilled their purpose of facilitating i the Russian retreat. j The Russians have not yet entered the vast Bieloviezh fores!, which ex tends 30 miles north and south, and has a width of Iron* 17 to 30 miles. ; South of it are the Pripei marshes, which protect the Russian left. Expect Nicholas to Escape. With plenty of roads and three or four railroad lines, it is expected here that (?rand Duke Nicholas will make good Iiis retirement if Grodno .ind Yilila can hold out long enough. Rven if they should fall military ob servers say the Grand Duke would be well on his way io bis new positions before thc Germans could reach his Hank. There is again talk of Rus sian preparations for a stand, but no indication as to where this attempt is to be made. Ain raft have again broken the monotony of the western warfare. Sixty-two French aeroplanes flew over the Bellingen Iron Works, near Saarlouis, Rhenish Prussia, dropping 150 bombs, while a British aviator is reported to have dropped a bomb and destroyed a German submarine Off Ostend. The German report says thai four of Ho1 French machines in the attack near Saurions were brought down, one, however, falling behind the French lines. Brest-Litovsk strong Fortress. The Russian fortress of Brest Litovsk had been considered one of the strongest fortresses in Europe and was the southern base of the second Russian Hue of defenses, to which the annies of Grand Duke Duke .Nicholas retreated alter the fal] of Warsaw. The citadel is sit uated on the Bug River and at the junction of several railways. 1 '' 1 miles south of Grodno, and 120 miles clue east of the Polish capital. The storming of Brest-Litovsk is probably the most important military achievement since the fall of War saw three weeks ago to-day. The town, which had a population of about 50,0(1(1, was one of the most Important depots for, and the dis tributing point of, military supplies near the western frontiers of Russia proper. The fortress was rated by military critics as a much more im portant strategic point than was Warsaw. Brest-Litovsk is situated at the junction of the Bug and Mukhovets rivers and the fortress was built at the point of confluence, lt lies upon the right bank of tho Bug, where the river tunis from the north to the northeast. Intersecting here are railroads from Odessa, Kiev. Moscow, Vi Ina and Kast Prussia. Brest-Litovsk, according to infor mation compiled by the National Geographic Society, contained one of the oldest importan) fortresses in Northern Ku rope. The older forti fications were erected alunit one mile east of Brest-Litovsk and had a cir cumference of four miles. The field works were kept up to date and everything possible had been done to make thom unconquerable. Brest Litovsk was generally regarded in Russia as the most powerful individ ual stronghold in the Rm piro. The capitulation means, in thc opinion of military observers, that the Russians svlll be forced to aban don their second line, whic h extend ed northward lo thc Baltic base of Kiga. The fall of the fortress ap peared inevitable several days ago, when the Austro-Germ?n forces suc ceeded In throwing troops from the left to the right bank of the Rivet Bug, Just northwest of Brest-Litovsk, after which live separate armies be gan a terrific onslaught on the Rus sian defenses. On Tuesday the army on the southwestern front succeeded in breaking through the advance po sitions of tho fortress. The third Russian line of defense upon which the defenders of Brest Ivitovsk, Warsaw, Ivangorod, Novo georgievsk and Grodno are compelled to retire, runs through tho middle of the country known as White Russia. The line begins on the north at Riga, and follows the Dvina river to Duen Aircraft (?et Busy. CHANGING SUBMARINE POLICY. German Government Seeking to Con? form (<> U. s. Demands. Washington, Aug. 27.-Coun* ' von Bernstorff, the German ambassa- ! dor. acting on instructions from Ber lin, notified Secretary Lansing to day that "full satisfaction" would he given to the United States for sinking the White Star liner Arabic. The ambassador explained that Germany would make more than a mere dis avowal If it is found thc Arabic was sunk without warning. Count von Bernstorff conferred with Secretary Lansing at the State Impart ment nearly half an hour. lt had been suggested thai perhaps Germany was ready also to make reparation for the Americans lost on the Lusitania also, but that subject did not come up at to-day's confer ence. The dispositiot. of the German embassy is to take one step at a time. No Report to Germany. The ambassador did not make pub lic the extent of the instructions from Berlin on which he acted, but it was understood they coincided en tirely with the statement of the Ger man chancellor in Associated Press dispatches from Herlin yesterday, ex pressing the willingness ol' the Ger man government lo make fullest reparation if it is shown finally that the Arabic was torpedoed without warning. So . ? the Gcrntan admi ralty has received no report from its submarines operating in the Ara bic's vicinity. Further communica tions are expected from Berlin to the German ambassador and to the state Department from Ambassador Ger ard, which will advance thc negotia tions to a point where attacks on passenger-carrying ships will be I definitely discontinued, at least while the subject is under discussion. The I crisis between the two countries is regarded as having come into the realm of diplomacy. Moro than Disavowal, The German ambassador frankly staled after bis interview willi Mr. Lansing that his instructions em bodied the declaration by the Berlin government thai it would give full satisfaction to the American govern ment. That, he declared, meant much more than a disavowal. The giving of satisfaction would depend upon the circumstances of Hie attack on tho Arabic, he said. The German government did not know yet, he said, whet lier the Arabic was sunk by a German .submarine and without warning, but if investigation proves that to have been the case, Germany would make full reparation, The ambassador said he believed the negotiations over the Arabic would be followed by negotiations over the Lusitania, In view of the official statement In Berlin that a submarine policy satisfactory to the I'niled States would be announced. Ambassador Gerard's dispatch to the State Department agrees with Coi.nt von Bernstorff's advices that submarine commanders have been instructed to attack no more peace ful merchant ships without warning. The American government, never theless, will press for a clearing up of the entire submarine controversy before it will consider the Alaine- and Lusitania Incidents (dosed. I'noln clal word has been conveyed lo ad ministration officials thal Conni von Bernstorff believes the position of the German government will be de termined by the imperial chancellor and the foreign minister.

I'liis Matter Will Soon Demand AU tentlon-\'?*i<-ii Seed Scarce. (Clemson News Notos.) It is time now to plan for next fall's sowings ot winter cover crops, and tanners should advise them selves at once of the seed situation, as Ku t opean war conditions have brought about certain peculiarities lu this situation. There will bo little hairy vetch to be had in this country this year and hairy vetch is the only kind that Clemson College advises South Caro lina farmers lo sow. Oregon or com mon vetch does not do very well in this State. Most of the hairy vetch seed sown in this country comes from Kassia and the war has cut off import?t ions. lt will be possible, however, for South Carolina farmers to get plenty of burr clover seed, and they are ad vised to sow this and crimson clover for their winter legumes. Fortunately, a large quantity of burr clover seed was made in this State tills year and the extension di vision of Clemson College has tho names of a number of farmers who have b i rr (dover seed for sah'. All who desii to purchase seed can get in touch with these farmers hy writ ing to the extension division of Clemson College. They should not delay about buy ing burr clover seed, however, Tho demand from outside is strong and tho college has received many inqui ries from Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. One South Carolina farmer is now planning to ship a carload of burr ( lover seed to Alabama. Farmers are not advised to delay purchasing in the hope that prices will be lower later in the season. The demand is so strong that it is not probable that prices will be lower than at present. The strongest limiting factor In South Carolina agriculture is lack of humus and the most economical way to get humus in tile Boll is by grow ing wlntor legumes and turning un der in spring. The growing and plow ing winter legumes and turning un der only pul humus into tho soil, but it will also add nitrogen and will thus mean a saving to farmers in the most expensive plant food element that they have to buy.
