After remaining virtually inactive
for two days certain troops of Ger-
man cavalry who were recently re-

offensive operations against the Bel-

It was evident that the Germans
were awaiting reinforcements. When
those arrived they proceeded in the
direction of Wavre, a town 15 miles
During this
advance the Germans encountered the
fire of the Belgian outposts, and after
8 number of skirmishes the German
offensive movement was stopped. This
information was obtained from official
sources in Paris.
According to official reports made
public, a German aeroplane, reconnoi-

of Namur, Belgium, was met with a
bot fire from the Belgians. The ma-
chine fell near Hastiere.
A Brussels dispatch says the French
tasualties in the fighting betwegn Na-

Germans were strongly entrenched
and their artillery at the outset played
great havoc with the French.

How To Induce -Bees To Go
Into the Supers.
A Pennsylvania fbee keeper wrote
to State Zoologist H. A. Surface at
Harrisburg, saying, ‘Our bees
have had the bottom part of the hives
filled for sometime, but do not seem
to be inclined to store in the supers
or upper part containing the small
boxes. Do youknow of anything that
can be done to induce them to fill the
boxes?’’ As Professor Surface is a
practical bee-keeper and the President
of the Pennsylvania State Bee-keeper’s
Association, - his timely reply to this
inquiry will interest many other bee-
keepers: It is as follows:
“In the first place it is useless to
try to induce bees to go up into the
supers if there is not a nectar flow of
some kind in your region. It may be
that there is a shortage of nectar.
Some seasons, even though white
cloyer may be present, there is not as
much yield of nectar asat other times.
I take it for granted that you may
yet have a period even though late,
when there are nectar-bearing plants, |
such as buckweat or asters or sweet
white clover in bloom, and for this
reason I suggest the following means
of getting the bees into the supers:
“First, use bait sections. . This
means partially filled sections, placing
one or two near the center of each of
the supers in place of the empty sec-
tion now there. These seetions can
