YALE MAN TO BE A FARMER
Ehrman B. Mitchell Will Study Scien
tific Agriculture At Cornell and
Practice It Here
On the tenth of next month, Ehrman
B. Mitchell, of Beaufort Lodge, a Yale
alumnus, 1914, will leave for Cornell
to take the special winter course of
three months in scientific farming. He
will he at the Beta-Psi House until
February tenth, returning to this city
in time to put his newfy acquired
knowledge to practical test in next
year's* planting and sowing;
The course will ioelude instruction
along the lines of soil values, fertiliz
ers, dairy products, poultry, sanitation
of barns and poultry housos aud va
rious other topics that the farmer of a
former day thought that he knew all
about.
Mr. Mitchell has one of the finest
farms in the county, and he intends
to study agriculture as a scientific
problem and to get the most out of it
possible. The products of Beaufort
I<odge are now sent to Verbeke street
market where they occupy a couple of
stalls.
Mr. Mitchell states that he not only
intends to make a study of soils and
crops and fruits and vegetables, but
also a study of markets, sending his
products wherever there is a demand
for it. In other words he will keep
posted on the localities that are short
on fruits, vegetables and dairy prod
ucts, and instead of selling his pro
duce in a market over-glutted, he will
ship it to points where it is needed and
where it will yield a fair return for his
labor and time. He will also make a
study of Harrisburg demands and try
to meet shortages in supply here,
making a specialty of this latter fea
ture.

"Our cavalry on Saturday completely routed a French
cavalry division west of Lille and near Hazebrouck we
inflicted severe losses on another French cavalry division.
Until now the engagements on the front in the western
theatre did not lead to a decision.
"About the booty at Antwerp no communications can
be made as information still fails. Neither can the num
ber of British and Belgian troops who crossed the Dutch
frontier be fixed.
"In the eastern theatre we repulsed in the north all
attacks of the First and Tenth Russian armies on October
9 and 10. Russian outflanking efforts by way of Schir

The Russian official announcement of a victory at
Augustowo and Suwalki, Russian Poland, are invented.
The fact that no official Russian communication has been
published about the tremendous defeats at Tannenberg
and in Sterberg (both in East Prussia), vouches a lack of
reliable information."
RUSSIANS PUT TO FLIGHT
London, Oct. 12,10.35 A. M.—A dispatch from Amster
dam to Reuters Telegram Company says:
"A l telegram from Vienna says it is officially announced
that the Austrian advance has relieved Przemysl, Galicia,
of the Russians. The Austrians have entered the fortress
at all points and where the Russians attempted resistance
they were beaten. The Russians fled in the direction of
the river, San, attempting to cross at Siniava and Lezayek,
where a great number were captured."
London, Oct. 12, 10.25 A. M.—"lt is stated that the
Germans lost 45,000 men during the attack on fortresses
Waelhem and Wavre-St. Catherines at Antwerp," says a

The official war news is brief, but war official state
ments are not needed to make plain that momentous re
suits hang on the fortunes of the desperate battles now
being waged at vital points on the line that stretches from
Switzerland through northern France to within twentv
five miles of the Straits of Dover.

"Daily Mail" in a message dated Sat
urday says:
"A desperate battle was fought yes
terday in the district to the north of
Arras, where the French and German
forces have been in touch for many
days. It ended in a brilliant success
foj the French arms, the German forces
'being driven back 10 to 13 miles.
"This was the decisive conflict in
the Arras district, where the tide of
battle had ebbed to and fro for days.
The German losses yesterday are said
to have been approximately 12,000
killed and wounded.
"One who knows the district well
tells me, however, that the cavalry has
been greatly hampered by the surround
ings. They are in a large crop-grow

vines gron tall and are so strongly
