FRIDAY EVENING,
Pershing! Petain! Haig! Korniloff!
Four great names! The Four Men
of the Fourth Year!
To-day marks the beginning of the
fourth year of the world war and we
find these four men leading the
legions of America, France, Great
Britain and Russia In the battles for
the preservation of democracy. It is
Interesting to note that when the
world war began on August 3, 1914,
only Petain and Haig were taking an
active part In the war against au
tocracy.
U. S. MUST BEAR
NEW WAR BURDEN
Russia's Collapse Means Na
tion Must Soon Enter
Field
London, Aug. 3. "Looking from
the broadest aspect at the events of
the past fortnight in Russia," said
Major General Frederick B. Maurice,
chief director of military operations
at the War Office, In his weekly talk
yesterday to The Associated Press, "It
necessarily will mean a prolongation
of the war. We cannot longer count
on any great material assistance from
Russia. This means a greater burden
on the other entente allies, and for
the United States it means that she
must come into the field as soon as
possible and with the greatest pos
sible force."
"The events of the past two weeks
on the Russian front have been a
great disappointment to us.' con
tinued General Maurice. "The Ger
mans had made no preparations for a
serious offensive. When the Russians
attacked, the Germans used only the
ordinary strategy of counterattacks
with such troops as were immediately
available. Certain bodies of Russians
collapsed and disaffection spread
through a great section of the Rus
sian front, with the result that the
Russians had -to abandon nearly all
the ground won by General Brussiloff
last autumn."
Definite Object
"This week the battle in Flanders
was an entire success." continued
General Maurice. "General Sir Doug
las Halg fixed a definite line of objec
tive and, speaking generally, he at
tained it successfully. On the south
ern third of the front he attacked
and gained his objective easily. On
the northern third the enemy's re
sistance broke down so completely
that General Halg felt justified in per
mitting his troops to go well beyond
the objective. In the central third
we fell a little short of the objective
owing to stubborn enemy resistance."
General Maurice said the British
commander's next move was to de
termine another objective and then,
after the customary process of prepa
ration, to proceed similarly to achieve
it.
"In cases of this kind,' said the Di
rector of Military Operations, "the ob
jective line depends mainly upon the
range of the artillery. The attacks
must be patient and methodical. In
this way we can gain ground and in
flict heavy losses on the enemy with
out heavy losses to ourselves. That
Is the system we used at Arras and at
Messines, and the one now being used
in Flanders.
"In this week's battle we co-operat
ed with the French. There were about
six times as many British troops as
French soldiers. Of the British, four
fifths were purely English and one
fifth Anzac (Australians and New Zea
landers), Welsh and Scotch. No Irish
or Canadian troops participated.

THE FOUR MEN OF THE FOURTH YEAR
Petain was a colonel in the French
army. He Is now in supreme com
mand of all of the force of France in
Europe. Haig was serving as a
division commander under Field
Marshal French. It was largely due
to Haig's ability that the British army
—ln the words of the Germans, "the
contemptible little army"—was not
utterly destroyed by the Teuton
hordes in th edisastrous retreat from
Mons. The British were outnum
bered ten to one. Now the British

when King Albert defied the Gorman
attack is described by Hugh S. Gib

Legation In Brussels at the time, in
his journal which is appearing ser
ially In the "World's Work" maga
zine. Mr. Gibson was only ten feet
away from the King when he made

"The Queen came in quietly from

cheering had subsided, the King

SAUERKRAUT
OUTLOOK GOOD
Welcome Comes From Berks
County Cabbage Crop
Is Flourishing
Reading, Pa., Aug. 3.—While many
people are doubting whether the
prices of farm and truck produce
which went soaring with the war
will gbt back to normal before the
war Is ended and the many countries
involved settle down to normal con
ditions ngaln, there are some who
have hopes for the Berks county
sauerkraut crop. The first big crop
of early cabba?o is now finding Its
way to the markets and with the
heads selling at 4 and ft cents each
and in some instances as low as 3
cents there is some indication that
the sauerkraut barrel will be well
filled this fall.
In fact, some people have already
started to maka sauerkraut for pres
ent consumption, but not until the
latter part of {September will the
great sauerkraut industry be on in
earnest. _
Last winter, wnen sauerkraut
jumped to 20, 25 and as high as 30
cents a quart, it almost became the
dish of kings and hopes of the favor
ite old prices of 5 and 6 cents a quart
were shattered.
Realizing that there was a big
profit in kraut at such prices, nearly
every Berks farmer and every trucker
and gardener set out large beds of
cabbage. Through the county there

are whole fields of It, and this means
that there will be thousands of bar
rels of sauerkraut made during tho
fall.
The summer has been very favor
able to tho raising of cabbage and
unless there Is a great lack of rain
from now on until the tlino that tho
fall cabbage Is urown there should
be a bounteous crop.
With sauerkraut making It will
not be a preat while before the apple
boiling and cider making time is at
hand, and there Is no reason to sup
poso that the applebutter crock will
have to go empty. There are plenty
of early apples and the fall crop will
be something more than has been
expected.
The farmers of the county have
about finished up the harvest of tho
wheat and rye and beginning this
week some of them have started on
tho oats fields. The oats is a fair
crop. The wheat standing in shock
will scon bo hauled to tho barns,
although the large hay crop, which
crowds the mows, there will bo much
wheat and rye stacked in the fields,
where the threshing will be done
later In the season.
Tho Berks farmers have not yet

brothers, where the threshing is ear
