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

Russians originally intended to hold, 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.

"Before Kovnor our attacking troops
captured the fortified forest of Domina
Kaska. We took 350 prisoners.
"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.
"North of Xovogeorgievsk a strong
outpost position was taken by storm.
Nine officers and 1,800 men and four
machine ?uns fell into our hands.

our advance by stubborn counterattacks.
All of the attacks were repulsed.

Radzyn-Dawidy-Vladova line, is 20
miles east of Radzyn and eight miles

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. This the fisier
who prides himself on his skill and
success as a snarer of sucker. When!
the water subsides and tJ:e stream;
clears he may be seen at the middle \
of the railroad bridge and beneath j

lows hundreds of suckers, their gristly
noses pointed up-stream waiting, as i
the fisherman believes, for his wire
snood. 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.
