Good Words for the President.

president Wilson's determination
TO stick TO his job the coming cam
paign will not come as surprise to
the American people. With the high
sense of responsibility, the lofty de-
votion to duty, which he has dis
played ever since his entrance upon
public life, nothing less was expected
of the chief executive than this sub
ordination of political demand to
national need.
One may differ, as does the Free
Press, with many of the policies of
the Wilson administration, but it
would be narrow partisanship which
did not recognize the just gratifca-
tion of the American people that
there is in the White House, at this
critical period, man so responsible,
so self-contained, so calm, so even
tempered, so greatly convinced of this
countrys pacific mission, that no
worry over the possibility of precipi-
tate of arbitrary action" Milwaukee

THE CURIOUS LUsHEIS.
An Eastern People Who Are Afraid to
Speak Their Own Names.

In his book. "The Lushei Kuki Clan"
Lieutenant Colonel J. Shakespear tells
OF curious trait Of the Lusheis. a
Bengal frontier race. They have a
strong and general dislike to speaking
their own names. The author tells Of
his experience with this strange PEG
pie and accounts for that fear In the
following manner:
When we first occupied the hills a
man would not tell us his name. If
asked he would refer us to some one
else and say. You tell him." The fol-
lowing explanation of their habit was
given by a Lushei:
"Lusheis are shy Of saying the name
of their father and their mother aud
their own name Because 1t Is their
own name they are shy Of saying II.
Some people are shy because their
names are bad. Their parents names
because they are their parents they
never call them by thei. names; there
fore they are shy ef saying them.
Their own names also they never say.
Just for that reason they are shy OF
saying them. The names Of their
brothers and friends they are always
saying; therefore they are not shy Of
saying them"
Long ago another explanation was
given. When a man kills another he
calls out his own name. II, Lalmanga.

the dying mar may know whose slave
he will be in "Mithi- Khua," The dead
mans village. Accordingly, t was sug

THE LAFoLLETrE followers are
very anxious that the constitutional
amendments, which are to be sub
mitted to the electors at the general
election il November, SHALL be adopted
and will bring all their strength on
the home rule, the initiative and the
referendum; the recall and the method
of adopting constitutional amend
ment resolutions. In fact, it is doubt
full if the leaders do not consider the
resolution TO make more easy the
method of effecting changes in the
constitution the most important of
all the measures, as they believe If
that is adopted, the other changes
can be made without difficulty in the
future. The new method of the adop-
tion of constitutional amendment res
olutions provides that constitutional
amendment need only pass al one ses-
sion of the legislature instead of two,
as at present The resolution, how
ever, must pass by two-thirds vote
of both houses. 1t is said a good deal
of literature will be sent around the
state in support of this amendment,
the substance of the literature being
the necessity for the adoption of some
more easy method of making consti-
tutional changes than is now offered.
1t is also likely there may be some
speeches from the stump in support
of the amendment. The LaFollette
men are DESTROYS the state insurance
amendment resolutions shall be
adopted. 1t is but another idiotic
measure to pile up the taxes and to
add to the army of voters. 1t should
be killed deader than door rail.

RUSSIANS BEGIN
MARCH ON BERLIN
Invasion Of East Prussia Hid
Real Design.
GERMANY is OUTMLNEUvERED

Grand Duke Nicholas 10 Leading Ad-
vance or German Capital From Ga
licia-RtIssians Have Taken 100000
Austrian Prisoners In Seventeen
Days Of Fighting.
London, Sept. 15.-All reports from
the easte'n theater of war demon
strate that Russia, having over
whellned Austria's military power Ia
Galicia, and outmaneuvered the Ger
man armies in East Prussia, is al
ready developing her main campaign
against Berlin-the advance of 1,000,-
300 troops through Silesia.
While General Rennenkampf COM
handing the Russian armies along
the Baltic, is drawing the German
forces In East Prussia away from pos
siblei reinforcement of the crushed
Austrians and lettering them from OPP
posing the advance against Breslau,
General Russzky, in Galicia, is break
ing up and capturing the fleeing ar
mics of the Austrian Generals Won
Aunenberg and Dankl. The Grand
Duke Nicholas. the Russian command
er-in-chief, Is beginning the grand ad-
vance upon Berlin. Russian cavalry
screens are now operating near Bres-
lau. within 100 miles OF Berlin, and
near Posen, within $50 miles from the
German capital. This campaign has
been from the beginning Russia's
cleverly concealed main objective
Russia outmaneuvers Germans.
Summing up the reports concerning
the operations in East Prussia-re-
ports received from ST. Petersburg,
Berlin, Rome and Paris-it appears
that Russia has played In the field of
eastern Prussia the same tactical
game followed by the allies in France
a gradual withdrawal designed to
divert powerful German forces from
aiding the distressed Austrians or
from interfering with the forthcoming
main campaign in Galicia
Russians Claim Great Victory.
There is even news of great Rus
sian victory over the Germans in East
Prussia, the Russian embassy in Rome
having been informed that General
Rtnnenkampf's army defeated General
Won Hinderberg's near Hlawa, and
that the German losses are estimated
at 10000 men. 1t Is positively stated
that the Russians are resuming the Of
fensive in East Prussia The siege of
Koenigsburg has been resumed.
Berlin Claims Victory.
1t Is officially announced at Berlin,
however, that the Russians have been
driven out of East Prussia, and that
General Won Hinderburg has crossed
the Russian frontier, after notable VIC
tories in which 10000 Russian prison
ers and $50 guns were taken.
Counteracting this view is the state
1aent given out at st. Petersburg by
Minister Of War Sukhomlinoff:
by the retirement of the Russian
troops in southeast Prussia, we have
drawn large German army into a
position where it will be unable to
render help to Breslau or Posen. It
is possible that after an investment
Of Cracow. General Braussillof will be
dispatched with large army against
