STENGER IS BADLY WOUNDED Details of the Capture of Governor Von Korff, of Warsaw, Who Was Igno rant of Fact That Germans Had Ta ken City Berlin, Via The Hague ami Londop, Nov. 18, 4.35 A. \f.—German casualty lists just issued record the deaths of two generals and the wounding of an other. General Alfred Von Vrieien was killed on November 12 aud General A'on Lepel is the other commanding offi cer reported killed on the field of bat tle. General Von Lepel was in com mand of the reserve infantry division. General Stenger, <*>mmander of the Fifty-third German bi fan try brigade, is listed as having been severely wounded. The '' Tagoblatt's'' Holland corre spondent relates the details of the cap ture of Governor Von Korff, of Warsaw, Monday morning. It appears from this account that the governor, with his ad jutant, approached Kutno in an auto mobile, not knowing that the city had already been taken by the Germans after bloody street '.fighting. Suddenly rhe governor found himself before the vanguard of German cavalry and tried to escape, .tut was overtaken by the -Met/, dragoons and surrendered without resistance. He was brought to Gnesen, province of Posen. Sunday night and confined in the best hotel there. The American Red Cross division at Gleiwitz, in Prussian Silesia, near the Russian border, expects shortly to be moved to a more northerly spot. The capital of the Krupp company, Vhich manufactures Germany's big guus and other war material, is to be increased 70,000,(MK) to 250.000,000 marks, according to the proposals of the directors, which were submitted to a general meeting of the company at Kssen on November 1,4. The increase is justified, it was stated, by the de mands of war and by earlier enlarge ments of the works, purchases of coal fields and so forth, which locked up considerable capital. The new stock is sue will, as usual, be taken by the 'Krupp family. A part of the new cap ital will be paid in on December 31. The directors also proposed a divi dend of 12 per cent., as against the 14 declared in the previous year.

Nov. 18. —The second Cana dian contingent will comprise 15,270 officers and men, 4,765 horses, 58 guns and IB machine guns, and will bo ready to sail from Canada in January. A third Canadian contingent of ap proximately 25,000 men will be ready to leave for Kngland early in March. Including the rirst contingent of 33,- 000 men, the Dominion by spring will have sent more than 70,000 men to the tiring line. The military authorities also have decided to keep 40,000 men under arms in Canada to serve as a base of supply for the contingents at the front. As the British War Office has informed the Dominion that reinforcements should be provided for at the rate of 25 per cent, per month, instead of on the smaller basis of 70 per cent, per annum, as at first was anticipated, it will mean a drain on the numbers re cruited for reinforcing purposes of from 6,000 to 8,000 a month, with increases in proportion as the strength of the 'C&nadian forces in the field is enlarged. With a contingent being sent to Eng land every two months, together with reinforcements, Canada expects to have placed between 200,000 and 250,000 men at the disposal of Of eat Britain by next autumn. • » Fall of Belgrade Near Berlin, Nov. 18.—The occupation of Belgrade.

Department of Agriculture Bay# If Room Is Ventilated at All, Flow ers Will Not Affect Available Breathing Air Washington, D. C., Nov. 18.—The in door window box, properly planned and tended, will afford much pleasure and satisfaction to the bouse wife who misses 'her out-of-door garden during the winter months. It is a mistaken notion that plants when kept in living rooms use up certain elements of the air in such quantities as to make it unhealth ful for individuals using the room. It is mueji harder on plants to be in a room with people than for people to be in a room with growing plants. Plants, indeed, use air, but use Bucb a small proportion that the effect of the plant in the room is negligible if the room is ventilated at all. Tnis also holds good for cut flowers or plants in a sick room, nlthough the odor of some flowers may <be depressing to the patient, and bad for tfoat reason. A good depth for an indoor window box is about twelve inches. The bot tom of the box should be covered with stones and broken pottery to give drainage and this Should be covered by a layer of moss to prevent the soil above from working down through the stones. The drainage and moss should take up about three inches. The greater the body of soil above the moss the more uniform i't may be kept as to mois ture. The soil should cooie to w.ithin an inch and a half or two inches of the top of the box. The indoor window box Should be made to fit into the window. To get as much light as possible it should be level with the window. It may 'be fast ened with brackets or placed on a table or lhave legs made for it. There should be a drip pan beneath to keep water ifrom soiling the floor. The box may rest directly a'bove the drip pan on legs half an inch to an inich high or the box may be water-tight with the ex ception of a bole at one end to let out the water. The top of the soil should be allowed to become quite dry once in a while. Tttie results of watering will teaich the owner to regulate the supply. Boxes may need watering in sunshiny weat/her (especially toward spring) every day, or at least every other day; in cloudy mid-winter weather not more than once a week. As a rule it is 'better to water lightly and frequently than heavily aud infrequently. The specialist of the United States Department of Agricul ture advises this, although just the re verse is considered best When watering is done out of doors in the summer. A large iproportion of the plants in a window Ibox should Ibe of tihe same general character if tihe growth is to be successful. Plants of different char acter need different treatment. It is very difficult to raise flowering plants in a window box .with the exception of begonias. Ordinary flowering irlauts are very exacting, and will not find enough light in the ordinary living room, even though placed near the window, al though they may do well in a conser vatory. The main object of an indoor window box is to furnish the fresh ap pearance of growingigreen leaves rath er than to raise flowefq_ indoors. The Department of Agriculture's specialist makes the following sugges tions for a window 'box: Begonias are one of the most attrac tive plants that may 'be used for an indoor* box. Both flowering and non flowering varieties will give satisfac tion, in fact, the flowering variety is one of the few plants that will blossom indoors without special cultivation. The begonias is not very particular in its requirements and will flourish with or dinary care. Small ferns obtained from a florist will flourish. These are particularly adapted to house culture, as t'hey do not require direct sunlight. (Care of ferns will be described in greater detail in a subsequent article.) Even more hardy than ferns is the foliage plant known as the aspidistra. This adaptable plant-growt'h will stand a measure of neglect, drought and dust and still thrive. It does not require direct sunlight. Geraniums may also ibe used as foli age plants, though they must not be expected to blossom in the window box. Kenilworth ivy may be planted along the edge. It wiH grow nicely from seed. Smilax may be grown from the back of the box, and trained up about t/he window to give the effect of an at tractive bower. The inexperienced grower of plants indoors •cannot expect to do well with roses. These tplants are most exacting, and not only will t'hey probably fail to flower, but also bbeir foliage may be affected by mildew, blight, etc. The ordinary individual who desires other varieties of growing flowers, may supplement his window box with flow ering potted plants brought in from out side, including 'bulbs raised as described in a previous article of this series. These will probably keep their bloom for a brief period only. People who are fond of plants will, of course, obtain better results with blooming varieties after many trials. Some (have dealt with very difficult problems, which they have solved successfully, but the pres ent suggestions are meant for the no vice as well as the more experienced grower.

LIZA IKS nun Once More Peace Plans for Mexico Republic Are Upset by His Obstinacy WANTS TO NAME NEW PRESIDENT Erstwhile Constitutionalist Leader Now Says He Was Misunderstood When He Agreed to Transfer the Execu tive Power to Gutierrez Washington, Nov. 18.—General Car ranza luis again refused to deliver the executive power to any but a man of his own selection and once more peace plans for Mexico arc upset, according to official dispatches to-dnv from American agents in Mexico. Just as it seemed that nn amicable adjustment had been reached. General Car ran/,a has announced that he was misunderstood. From both American Consul Silliman and Leon Canova, spe cial agent at Aguascalientes, the State Department received practically the same version of tho newest split! sum marized as follows: Carranza first telegraphed General Gonzales that he was willing to deliver the executive power to Gutierrez, pro vided both he (Carranza) and Villa re linquished their commands and met in Havana on November 21. General Gonzales telegraphed that to Gutierrez, chosen provisional President by the convention at Aguascalientes, who took it to mean that Carranza was ready to deliver the executive power to him. Now Carranza has announced that when he used the words * * provisional President'' he meant a man who en joyed his entire confidence, such as General Pablo Gonzales. American Consul Silliman referred to this as a new "proposal from Carranza," while Special Agent Canova describes it- as a "repudiation by Carranza of his tele gram to Gonzales." With troop movements under wav and hostilities imminent, efforts were being made to-day by some of the gen erals to patch up the differences. A connpromise proposal being discussed is that Carranza could resign his command to Gonzales, who would retain control of the territory held by Carranza, while Villa would turn over his forces to Gutierrez. Both Gonzales and Gutierrez could then remafti in power in their re spective territories while the eon von tion reassembled either to ratify the choice of Gutierrez or choose a not he:' provisional President. Official (lis patches indicate there is some hope o£ an agreement along that line. Carranza Chief Killed in Action Washington, Nov.
