Pope Benedicte XIV.

The papal election at Rome has been
effected more quickly than was believed
to be possible in view of the number
of candidates and the general unset
Element of conditions as a result of the
war. The new Pope, who takes the
name Of Benedicte XIV, was practically
a dark horse in the race, not regarded
as one of the probabilities, though Incl
dentally mentioned in some of the
early dispatches as one of those con-
sidered. He was created cardinal
only in May last, but has had con-
siderable experience in papal admins
trative work, having served as secre-
tary of the papal mission in Spain from
1889 to 1887 and later as secretary to
the late Cardinal Rampolla, in which
capacity he was brought into close
touch with affairs at the Vatican. In
1901 he was designated as secretary of
state and just prior to his elevation to
the Archbishopric of Bologna was named
papal nuncio at Madrid, but did
not serve in that capacity. The
new Pope is sixty years Of age,
whereas his predecessor, the late Plus
y. was sixty-eight at the time Of his
election. 1t Is an interesting fact that
the new pontiff was chosen without
the votes of the two American cardi-
nails. who were due to arrive at Rome
today. Whether this fact has any sig
nincance remains for disclosure. The
tradition Of an italian Pope is main
tanned by today's choice Of the car
dinals At Rome.

Russian Reverse and Victory.

It IS claimed from Berlin that LODI, in
the western part Of Russian Poland, has
been occupied by German and Austrian
army and also that the Russian forces
are retreating eastward in East Prussia
after the reverse at Allenstein. The Rus
sian government admits the reverse at
Allenstein. but declares that its Offensive
continues in the western position in east
ern Prussia. This indicates that the
Germans cut in from the north between
Danzig and koenigsberg and struck what
was virtually the center of the Russian
line in East Prussia. AS long as the
Russians continue their offensive action
in that part Of Germany the menace
against Berlin remains
1t is significant that the Russian war
office at Petrograd tSt. Petersburg) notes
that the reverse at Allenstein was due
to the Superior mobility of the German
forces. permitted by the highly developed
railway system This railway system
Of the Germans has been designed largely
with this object in view. of shifting mill
tary forces from one part Of the country
to another. As The Star suggested the
other day, the campaign in East Prussia
indicates that it has been the kaiser's
design in this war to adopt the Napoleonic
tactics Of striking at two enemies In turn

swiftly. Napoleon was frequently con-
fronted with the menace OF dual opposi-
ton. and his object was always to pre-
vent union of his foes and on several
occasions he beat them successfully by
swift attack and forced marches. The
kalser's problem is more difficult than
any Napoleon had to face. for he is con-
fronted with immense forces at two far
separated points. 1t Is about 1900 miles
from the center of the German advance
into France to Allenstein by air line.
The check against the Russians in East
Prussia Is a notable performance. in view
of this long stretch to be covered by
reinforcements Berlin denies that the
fresh troops employed at Allenstein came
from Belgium or France, but that they
were transported a considerable distance
in the emergency created by the unex-
pected Russian advance is unmistakable
The German invasion of Russian Poland
threatens to separate the two wings of
the Russian army and possibly to render
nueatory to some extent the Russian sue
cess in Galicia, where the fall Of Lem
berg has been effected with. it is claimed
by Russia. serious disaster to the Aus
trian forces The further development of
the German campaign in Poland will be
of absorbing interest, as upon it depends
in large measure the success Of the entire
campaign If Russia can resist this pene-
tration while conducting an offensive
campaign on the two wings the Ger
manic success in the west will be vir-
tually Offset On the other hand, If the
kaiser can puncture the Russian line in
the center he may be able to hold the
invaders off with a comparatively small
force, while prosecuting the French cam

In Australasia.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
German Samoa has been occupied by q
British expedition sent out from New
Zealand and composed of New Zealand
land and naval forces. The conquest
was easy, for the Germans have main
tanned but feeble garrison at Apia, and
the significance of the event lies in the
character Of the conquerors. Great Brit
ain selected New Zealanders to invade
German Samoa out of Difference to the
sensibilities of the United States, which
would not relish the occupation of Apia
by the japanese. We own part of the
Samoan group. Pagopago in Tutuila is
our naval base in that part of sthe Pacific
and is an outpost of Hawaii. Our author
tiles would have been at least disquieted
by having q japanese outpost for neigh
Dor and that disquietude the British were
determined to prevent. So much Is
obvious from the course Of the diplo-
macy of the war; and there is another
reason for Great Britain committing the
war against the German possessions In
the Pacific to its Australasian colonists.
Throughout Australasia the public senti-
ment of hostility to Asiatic immigration
is intense. The California extremists are
moderate in their antagonfsm to Japan
compared with Australasian politicians.
The statesmen of the commonwealth
look upon the German colonies in the
Pacific as within their sphere of infiu-
ence, whereas the aim Of their policy is
to prevent the expansion Of Japan east

two games at once when it defers to the
aspirations of Australasia and the sensi-
bilities OF the United States

More than any democratic Presiden,
since Jackson, he is the master and leader
Of his party.
In the discussion of this matter now
and then in the past twelve months tive
points have been suggested against a sec.
ond candidacy for Mr.. Wilson: a. The
Baltimore platform shuts him out of the
calculation, and Co Mr., Bryan introduced
the plank into the platform for the ex-
press purpose of clearing the way for his
own candidacy in 1916 Neither point is
well taken.
The Baltimore platform does not shu,
Mr.. Wilson out of the calculation. This
is the plank in question:
We favor single presidential term
and to that end We urge the adoption o1
an amendment to the Constitution tc
make the President of the United States
ineligible for reelection, and we pledge
the candidate Of this convention to this
principle"
Even If the subject were taken up i'm
mediately and pressed with diligence
such an amendment to the Constitution
could not be obtained in time for opera
ton two years hence. The way will be
clear for Mr.. Wilson then by the every
day Interpretation of the issue in the
political world.
As for Mr.. Bryan. whatever his pur-
pose may have been at Baltimore, his
position today precludes the possibility OF
his candidacy. He and his chief are in
thorough accord on every policy asso-
ciated with the administration. Each has
testified in public deliverances to pleasure
in being connected with the other ir
Office. They are the best of friends: anG
there Is every reason to assume that Mr.
Bryan will stand by his friend in this an6
all other matters steadfastly.
Mr.. Marshall is not only one of the
ablest men in his party, but one Of it,
cleverest politicians. He introduces this
subject in time for effect on this falls
campaigns. He puts the President and
all that the latter represents into the
scale for both the democratic state tick
cts. and the democratic congressiona
tickets. In Indiana the benefit is intend
ed for Mr.. Shively. In Illinois if Rogel
Sullivan gets the senatorial nomination
he will benefit. And SO on Throughout
the Union.
Is the democracy in need of all the am
munition it can command? Its prospects
especially in congressional sense, were
not fattering a few weeks ago. Some OF
its shrewdest leaders were at that time
frankly uneasy. But these men plucked
up heart when the European war broke
out, and thought there might be some
thing In it for their party In November
The point is new, and developments are
being watched with interest.

The Rights of Neutrals.
From the Springfield Republican.

Diplomatic protests from France.
Russia and England are natural
enough against the purchase of Ger
man merchant and passenger ships
now tied up in American ports. Bel
Igerents invariably urge views upon
neutrals that are as unfayorable to
their enemies and as favorable to their
own interests as possible. Neutrals are
expected to safeguard their own rights.
So far as the practical use of the Ger
man liners is concerned, this question
may be largely academic, inasmuch as
the passenger steamers are unsuited to
freight traffic. What this country spe-
cially needs at present in the way of a
merchant marine is "freighters," de-
signed particularly for carrying as
large cargoes as possible. The big
liners in the Atlantic passenger trade
sacrifice an enormous amount Of space
for the luxurious accommodation of
patrons and for the coal and engines
necessary to maintain high speed For
freight purposes they are as uneco-
nomical as one could imagine. II our
government should determine to buy
ships in this emergency, it might be
absurd to buy such ship as the Water
land and some others like her Of small
er tonnage.

Removal of the French Capital.

AS foreshadowed the other day. the
French government has moved from
Paris to Bordeaux, in anticipation Of
the investment of the former city by
the Germans, who are now within fifty
miles. This. as The Star suggested
when the report WAS published of an in
tention to move. is a wise precaution
against a disaster that would be irrep-
arabic if Paris were captured. With
the government in full operation at Bor-
deaux Paris will be merely sentiment

of field operations, and its capture, while
distressing, would not necessarily be in

cannot win in France until he has crush
ed the armies of the allies, which are at
present keeping sufficiently in touch to
prevent any enveloping and separating
movement permitting destruction in de-
tail.
Thus far the backward movement of
the allies has been conducted scientifical-
ly with the view of inf1icting as much

without permitting isolation of any con-
siderable component part. Just how far
