VON HINDENBERG TAKES COMMAND ASSUMES PERSONAL CHARGE OF KOYNO ATTACKS. ? Operations in Tills Region Considered Momentous?Russians Holding Elsewhere. London, Aug. 13.?Field Marshal von Hindenburg has taken personal command of the German army attacking Kovno, and, according to tonight's German official reuort, has gained new successes against the Russians. The selection of Germany's national hero! for tlje duty of capturing Kovno, whici I .stands between tJ:e Germans and Vilna ! and the Warsaw-Petrograd railway, indicates the importance the German general staff attaches to this opera tion. News that the civilians had begun to evacuate Kovno, as well as Vilna, tad led to the belief in many quarters that the Russians either had decided to give them up or had no hope of folding this point. Now, however, they are fighting hard to retain both cities and Petrograd claims the Russians have repulsed German attacks. except at one point, where a desperate artillery engagement is in progress. Check for von Buelow. Farther north, between :Ponlewesch and Dvinsk, wfcere Gen. von Buelow a week ago was advancing rapidly towards the railway, the Germans apparently have suffered a setback, for <the Russians now speak of pressing them and declare they have reoccupied Toviny, considerably west of the point to which the Germans had penetrated. Souc'a of Riga also the Germans are said to be doing little more than holding their own, so the talked of advance towards Petrograd seems to be developing 'very slowly. On the other Land, the Germans continue to drive the Russians northeast and east of Warsaw and, with the capture of Siedlce, are within a - ?1 J - - ^ ? ~ Diror i*urar r\rm ! saort uisiauce ui uic mw, vuv . of the main supports of the Brest- j Litovsk line, wt':ich it was believed the 1 Russians originally intended to hold, j 3)ut which the German offensive to j the northeast may prevent. Maekensen Has Trouble. Field Marshal von Mackensen, who commands the Germans in the south east, again is reported to l':ave been held up by a Russian counterattack. Military critics disagree as to the probable line on which Grand Duke TCirvhrtlac will stand, but most of them consider it hardly likely that he will I try to hold the Brest-Litovsk front. The German crown prince continues trying to piece the French line in the forest of the Argonne. He has had a few local successes, but his losses are declared heavy. The Germans also have attacked in Artoia, but without success, according to the French.

"Between the Narew and the Bug rivers our armies reached during a si':arp pursuit the Slina and Muzew sections, where our opponents had made a new stand.

AMERICA COULD RAISE FORCE OF 1^)0,000 MEN Gen. Wood, Former Chief of Stan, j Talks of Supply of Potential sioln iprv Plattsburg, X. Y., Aug. 14.?The United States has plenty of material for a .volunteer army of 1,250,000 and all that is needed is a plan for utilizing, "Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood said cere today in a statement on the nation's preparedness for war. The chief need, he declared, was officers. He advocated training college students in their junior and senior years along the same lines as now are being used at the mil- j itary camp of instruction here. Gen. Wood said the country tas three sources from which to draw officers from private life. First of these, he asserted, were men who had been in the regular service or militia. Sec-; ond, f:.e would obtain officers from a! list of men kept by. the war department who have qualified by examinations. The third source would be from schools or institutions in which some : military training is given. For an army of 1,250,000, Gen. Wood j said, the nation would need 40,000 or- i iicers. trom tLese, 1,500 should be; chosen each year for special grades of the service. These men eventually would have become the officers for; volunteers. Referring to military service, Gen. Wood said: 'Wo one has a right to consider his discharge of duty as a soldier as 'voluntary. This duty is an obligation | binding upon all wno mentaiiy anu: physically are fit, and within certain age limits. A man has no more right to speak of volunteering to discharge; nis uuties to the nation as a soldier an he had to talk of volunteering to obey any moral law or pay his just1 debts." Gen. Wood also took a strong stand I against waiting unm nine 01 war cu i organize a volunteer army. He asserted such a plan would be about as ! effective as waiting until a fire broke out to organize a volunteer fire company. Soldiers enlisted at such times, he said, would not know what was expected of them. Sucker Snaring. Indianapolis News. While the fastidius angler is waiting for "the clouds of the wet spell" to pass away and the waters to clear that the bass may see the artificial fly C:at is so enticingly placed before him, another kind of fisher is also a patient watcher and waiter.

Ttis snood or snare he, with a skill which many of us need never hope to attain, passes over the head of the fish and when it reaches the gills? presto! The dozing sucker, rudely awakened, is drawn up and placed in | a basket lined with leaves. Let the bass fisher turn up his nose if l;e pleases at his humbler brother, but the sucker?snarer has great sport and usually greater success than the man with the fine tackle and the artificial fly. Suckers feed on plants and small animals. The common or white sucker, catosmosus commersonuii, called also the June sucker, is abun-1 dant all over this country in streams ' and lakes from Canada to Florida and as far West as Montana. These fish range in size hereabouts to twelve or fifteen inches. The great northern sucker, which is found from the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence river far northward and westward, growth to j a length of two or two and one-half feet and weighs many pounds. Utah Lake, which the natives call "the sucker pond," is said to be the greatest habitat in tiie world of this fish.
