London.-The battle in the region be-
tween the vistula and Warta rivers
in Poland appears to have turned in
favor of the Russians.
A special dispatch from P~etrograd
to Paris says the Russian army al
ready has won a decisive victory.
While this may be an exaggeration,
both the Russian and the German OF.
fetal reports suggest that General
Won Hindenburg's second thrust at
Warsaw has been checked.
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander.
in-chief of the Russian forces, for two
days in succession, has recorded par
tial successes, and the German staff
says the arrival Of Russian reinforce.
ments has postponed a decision.
Both sides have expressed the great
est confidence in the outcome. Grand
Duke Nicholas and General Won Hin
denburg heretofore have been so sue
cessful in their strategy that their
adherents look upon them; almost as
unbeatable. .a. ., '-
The German papers were talking OF
a general Russian retirement despite
the fact that the Russians have been
advancing steadily in Galicia, have re-
pulsed the Austro-German attack be-

territory in East Prussia and oppose

While undertaking immense tasks
in the east, the Germans, according to
all accounts, are preparing to launch
another offensive movement in the
west. Just where this is to be is known
by the general staff alone. 1t Is be-

fort to get through to the French coast
and perhaps at the same time try to

The Germans have been violently
bombarding Ypres in Flanders, Sois-
sons in the Aisne, and Rheims, while
they have been attacking in force In

Any or all Of this activity may be
intended to divert attention from the
quarter in which the supreme attack
will be made, but the allies are sure
to discover soon where they must ex-
pect the next blow. To ward the posi-
biiity Of the Germans again trying to
move along the coast the British fleet
has been bombarding their positions
from the sea.
Turkey, as usual, reports victories
over the Russians in the Caucasus and
the British in Egypt, but these lack
confirmation. The English have Is:

operations in the Persian gulf. The

- PRACTICALLY every atta k
 against the foreign policy of the
 administration harks back to two things-desire of the opposition for political capital and the old dollar diplomacy.
 Those who seek that method of mak- ing political capital are they who have been driven from one position after another on domestic matters. With them. the foreign affairs is always a last resort. for they are the govern mental matters of which the masses know least. There are two causes for this. The first is that the administra- ton cannot for obvious reasons enter. into a public discussion of matters that concern Nations, and the second that people are more directly interest ed in problems Of domestic concern than they are in foreign affairs, there fore give less attention to the latter. The opposition everywhere and always, when trying to make political capital, trade on these conditions People understand that and they discount criticisms and wait for official state ments before arriving at conclusions.
 The more serious opposition to the administration policy. however. is from those who still believe in the dollar diplomacy This comes from those who. when they are frank. admit the acceptance of the premise that sel. fishness is at the foundation of their philosophy. They believe that Nations should strive to get what they can for themselves and their citizens. It is the same spirit as that which moved the parent who advised his son to get money-honestly if possible, but get it. Among Nations this policy would mean that might makes right" Americans who take this position op- pose Wilson and Bryan just as the English dollar,aboye-the-mau class al- ways opposed Gladstone. The admin istratlon does not expect their SUD- port.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE A STATE
 MATTER.
POSITION of Senator Borj

THE POSITION of Senator BOrah
 on the woman suffrage ques-
 ton is in harmony with that of the Democrats of the House of Repre- sentatives. and both are in harmony with American institutions. The suf. rage question is State matter rather than National.
 From the organization of the Gov ernment the principle has held true with one sorry exception-that the separate States shall control the fran chise within their own borders. That is what was clearly intended when the Constitution of the United States was made to provide that the cleo tors in each State Gas regard Repre- sentatives) shall have the qualified. dons requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State Legis- lature."
 Any State can still reimpose the property qualifications of former days, or advance the age limit for voters, or create an educational qualification. Any State can remove any disabili- ties that deny the vote to any element of it's citizenship. By this same rule nine States have extended the sui frage to women. and more will soon follow their example The elasticity Of the system of local self-government by the States alone has made the pro- gress of woman suffrage possible.
 The only time that the Nation de- parted from the principle of State con trol of the franchise. it reopened the issues of the Civil War and created new causes for race hatred and race strife. which still perplex it, despite the fact that Southern Constitutions have practically nullified the fifteenth 
 Senator Borah and the Democratic majority in respect to equal suffrage are standing on the solid ground of the Constitution and a hundred and twenty-five years of experience.

RoDENs STATEMENT.

r VERY ONE of the propositions
 urged by Senator Roden in his
 statement to Secretary of the Interior Lane should be acted upon by Congress immediately. If Congress could put that program through Alas ka would soon be prepared for the growth that is coming to the Terri tory. The program is practically that of the administration. and active work for 1t in Congress should be success tul. The program is one that natural Iy follows the passage of the railroad bill.
 It Congress would enact into law the bills urged for passage by Senator Ro- den and repeal the obnoxious Federal license tax law. the people of Alaska could do the rest at home, There should be a united effort on the part of Alaskans to secure this legislation.

What the Prophets Say.

Predicting the outcome of baseball
season is about as much of cinch rs
predicting the result Of an election.
Nevertheless. the dopesters insist on
anticipating things. Now, with the
whole baseball world waiting for the
magic words, "Play BALI" this is how
they size up the situation:
In the National league the New York
Giants and Pittsburghs will probably
carry off first honors. This forecast is
based largely upon the fact that the
Giants have thrice won the pennant
and Pittsburgh. winning the trophy in
1908. has held up well i'm subsequent
seasons. Also. the Giants have Nc

Pittsburghers have Clarke. the oldest
manager I'm point of service.
An important figure in the fortunes
Of the Boston Nationals is Johnny
Evers, second baseman. who did such
good work for Chicago in former years.
With Evers' knowledge Of inside base
ball and the added strength of Boston's
infield the Hub City stands n good
chance of finishing ahead Of Chicago.
In the American league the fight lies
between the Philadelphia Athletics and
Washington. The Athletics have
marked up three worlds series to their
credit. and their infield is recognized as
the best i'm the game. Washington has
Walter Johnson. the best pitcher in the
game. fine catching staff. and the
team as whole can be depended upon
for fast, heady work.
Much interest centers In whether Ty
Cobb of the Detroit Americans. the
greatest all around player in the bust
ness. will lead the batsmen of both
leagues MS he has the past three years.
This is Cobb's eighth season in the
game.
In the Federal league Knabe's Balti-
more team and Tinker's Chicagos are
picked to lead. They seem to have the
best combinations. or course 1t is ad-
mitted that Miner Browns st. Louis
team may prove dangerous, for it has
