of Russian invasion Of India should
be resuscitated. But that poor DOGGY
is fast losing its sawdust.
The greatest Russian politicians
and military authorities. notably
General Kourapatlzin, have repeated
" affirmed that the conquest OF In
dia would be the beginning of the end
of the Russian empire. Owing TO the
almost insurmounta'ole difficulties
and the extravagant expenditure
which the campaign would entail,
such an undertaking Is altogether
outside the range of possibilities
The world has changed since the day
when General Skobeleff declared
that the road to Constantinople lies
thru India
Certainly Russia will not allow
Constantinople to be taken by any
one-that is why she did not allow
bulgaria to advance beyond Tchatal-
ia But Constantinople Will lose its
importance in the eyes OF Russia as
soon as the question of the opening
of the DardanelIes is settled favor
ably. When that has been arranged
Russia's ambition no longer concerns
Europe politically.
''Mr Shaw talks glibly of the ne
cessity of conserving Germany's
eastern frontier. Why? Against
whom and what? 1t is not Ger
many's eastern frontier that has
mattered one jot in the European
balance of civilization; it is that
Russia lies beyond that frontier and
served as the bulwark not only of
Germany but of Europe, against the
Tartars who overran her, and put
back her civilization by couple OF
centuries. but an interesting point
nevertheless, to wonder whether
Germany would have maintained as
much culture as Russia has done had
she been forced to bear the brunt OF
such an invasion
Russian bureaucracy, as all bu-
reaucracies, has welcomed militar-
ism. and has counted on it confident
| ~ as a support. With a weaker Ger
many there will no longer be either
excuse or necessity or encouraging
it; and the bureaucracy will lose
ground proportionately. The demo-
cracy, having played an important
part in the campaign, will not only
be more actively conscious of its
rights; it will find them easier TO OBJ
tain. This applies not only to Rus
STA proper. but to Finland, Poland
and Caucasus, which SO far, are
standing by Russia. "A government
financially weakened, as in inevitable
after any war, becomes more depend
ent on its people-and more tract
; able.
ut is obvious that if progressive
Russia has joined forces with re-
dictionary Russia for the moment It
is because she feels therself strong
enough to postpone her own de-
mands. And inthat case she is hard
ly likely to allow herself TO be yoked
) with a homegrown militarism after
she has laid aside her own grievanc-
! es while helping TO strike blow al
militarism which, though irksome
, to other nations, has weighed most
heavily on its own people"

In the March American Maya
zine, Mary Antin, a wonderfully
gifted young Russian Jewess, be-
gins new series of articles en-
titled "They Who Knock at Our
Gates" The editors announce that
this series is one of the most re-
markable documents on immigra-
ton they have ever seen. Mary
Antin landed in America only a
few years ago, an unknown little
girl. Since then she has written
one of the most remarkable books
of our time.
In the same number Hugh S.
Fullerton, writing an article en-
titled American Gambling and
Gamblers" tells many fascinating
true stories. Ray Stannard Baker,
in his new department entitled
Seeing America" reports the new
Chicago and its progressive peo-
pie. Other notable contributions
are The Autobiography of a
Stingy Man" "The. Souls Winning
Fight With Science" in which H.
Arlington Bruce shows that
science has produced nothing that
renders mans belief in immortali-
ty inconsistent; How a Town
Converted By-Paths Into Good
Roads and Doubled Its Trade Ter
ritory" and What Drink Did to
One Man"
Fiction is written by Richard
Washburn Child, Edgar Allen
Forbes, James D. Corrothers,
Rufus Steele and Maravene
Thompson. Humorous selections
by Stephen Leacock and James
Montgomery Flagg. Interesting
people and Theatrical departments
are filled with good things, and
winning letters are published
in the contest entitled What | Am
Most Afraid Of"
The March number includes a
broadside from the editors sug-
costing that Goethals and his
Panama veterans be sent to Alaska
at the conclusion of their present
work, to develop that great and
practically untapped storehouse of
national wealth. This suggestion
is along the line of report re-
Gently made by the Secretary of

1t is too bad that someone spik-
ed the guns of the Newport alder
men by passing an enabling act
which would cut out street work
in Newport. Alderman Fisher
and the others on the street COM
mittee would have liked to have
laid down a strip of asphalt paving
to show their successors just how
good this paving would have look
ed on the Newport streets, but
the enabling act under which they
were working was found to cover
towns of 2O73, whereas Newport,
according to the last census, had
but 1908 and this fact was or
should have been known at lifetime
of passage of the enabling act. 1t
is to be hoped that these progress
sive aldermen can find some way
to evade the wording of the act
and it is suggested that the town
could come to an agreement with
the property owners of a certain
block and leave behind a strip of
good paving which would be an
inspiration for all future boards.
The present board has broken all
records in the laying Of its side
walks and it should be given
every encouragent by the people
of Newport.

1t looks like an old fashioned
Republican love feast in the first
district, as the Sells committee has
agreed to the proposition of the
Massey-Shipley organization and
a primary will be held in Septem-
Der at which time numerous can
didates will try to show that Sam
Sells is not the representative Of
the Republican party. However,
from the differences cast at the
Bulls Gap session of the Shipley
element, there will be only one
candidate in the field against Sells
and he will most likely be Hon.
Joe Howard of Greeneville, al
though Gen. Cox and Representa-
tive Fuller have an idea that they
are in the race at this time. If it
develops into a two cornered
race between Sells and the repre-
sentative of the other faction it
will simply mean a repetition of
the old Sells-Massey fight with
discord at the finish which will re-
suit in a fight to the finish. 1t
looks like harmony now, on paper,
but the under current Of feeling
between the two factions is strong
and little is hoped for by the
leaders of either faction and both
are simply struggling for position
in the main fight.
