ritory of Poland and the abandonment of

ritory of Poland, and the abandonment OF
several hard-won positions in eastern
Galicia. 1t was suggested that the retreat
from Galicia had been caused by the
cholera outbreak among the Austrian
troops, which the Russian commanders
feared would infect their own forces. and
that the retreat in Poland was for the
purpose Of causing the Germans to as
sumo the offensive against an intrenched
line. Whatever the reason. it appears now
that the Russians, having defeated the
German attack against Warsaw, have
resumed the offensive, and have
pressed their lines back to about where
they were at the height of their first
advance in Galicia, in western Poland
and East Prussia.
Though no reports are available as to
the numbers amassed by the Russians
in their three theaters of activity. it is
assumed that they are il great force at
all points, and that their present plan
is to continue the advance, aiming at
Cracow. at Posen and at Danzig. While
some of the Russian troops may have
been detached for service against Iur-
key, there is no present evidence OF
such a Weakening of the armies now
operating against Austria and Germany
as to enable the two latter powers to
relax their efforts of resistance. Should
the Russian advance into East Prussia
and into Posen continue at the present
rate Germany will be compelled in all
likelihood to withdraw additional troops
from the western line in order to meet
the menace of invasion.

Pistol Buying and Pistol Display.

The police reports which show that dur
ing the month of October 157 pistols were
sold In this city should give pause to those
who do not agree that there is need of
more drastic regulation of this traffic
by means Of a permit-purchase law. 1t
is inconceivable that 157 Washingtonians
needed to buy pistols in one month. that
that number Of people actually found
themselves in circumstances which de-
manded their personal armament with
implements of death. This is not a
frontier town, its streets are well lighted
and well policed. highway robbery is not
common, and burglaries are comparatively
few. Life is probably safer here than
in almost any other large city in the
United States. save that deadly weapons
are so freely obtained by the vicious and
possible to believe that there were 157
cases Of urgent need developing in the
month of October, and the conclusion is
unavoidable that most of the people who
bought the weapons, the sales of which
were recorded with the police. had no
real occasion for their possession, and the
danger is that some of these weapons
will eventually be used, if they have not
already been used, for some criminal pur-
pose.
II permit-purchase system were in vogue
here only a small percentage of these
157 pistols would have been sold in the
north Of October. for only a fraction of
the people involved in these transactions
would have gone to the trouble of obtain
ing licenses to buy. Those who abstained
from pistol purchases under such a sys-
TEN would have been just as secure in
life and property as though they had
armed themselves The community would
have been much safer than 1t is today
with these 157 deadly weapons added to
the stock Of private armament
In addition to prohibiting the sale, gift
or exchange Of pistols and other such
implements of death save upon the
presentation of formally granted license
to buy, the new law which is being so
strongly urged by public sentiment should
prevent the display in shop windows,

Invasion.

From the Springfield Republican.
Whatever the military Importance of
the invasion of German soil may be, its
indirect effect, unless the invaders can
be driven out. will be great. The
heart stops beating" wrote a German
soldier surveying the sufferings of Bel
gium, "at the thought. what If these
things should befall the dear father
land" Just so: every land is a dear
fatherland to some people. and that
thought ought to be a restraining in
huence in war. The theory of the
scientific militarists, that war should
be made as terrible as possible in or
der to break the spirit of an invaded
country, is subject to some check when
there is another frontier upon which
reprisals may be made. The very pos
sibility that eastern Germany might be
overrun by the dreaded Cossacks
should have been reason enough for
the German army to strive for a new
record of magnanimity in Belgium, in
order to put it's behavior in strong con-
trast with the gross Unkultur of the
east.

More Grade Crossing Slaughter.

| The deadly grade crossing has been
/ eliminated from the city of Washing
| ton but it remains a constant menace
! to life in the suburbs of the District
In nearby Maryland it has just been
| the cause of three deaths, shocking
| toll of human lives to system that
| should long ago have been corrected
Three little children, seated in a car
riage with their mother. were killed
near Hyattsville by train the ap-
proach of which she, driving the ve-
hicIe, could not see owing to the inter-
position of freight cars. NO barrier
gates were there to keep the carriage
off the tracks. A signal bell is sup
posed to have sounded. but it was not
heard Three lives snuffed out because
the railroad company has neglected to
safeguard it's tracks and because the
state has not compelled it to provide
effective barriers!
This tragedy should cause an i'm
mediate reform in this respect. 1t Is in
the last degree culpable in both the
railroad and the state authorities to
permit such condition to continue.
An open grade crossing in a region OF
thick population is a disgrace to both
Sides If the railroad will not maintain
watchmen and gates, to keep all per-
sons off the tracks when trains are ap-
proa ching, it should be compelled by
law to do so.
No plea that the victim goes upon
the tracks knowingly and fails to
stop, look and listen" before doing so
absolves from responsibility the rail-
road company or the civil authorities
who have the power of compelling re-
form. In these days the responsibility
must rest upon those who maintain
such dangers and those who permit
their maintenance. Mrs. Robertson, of
she would never have put herself and
her children in jeopardy. At point of
such frequent travel it should have
been impossible for her to reach the
tracks with train approaching. Moth
ing should be left to the judgment of
the driver.
Travel is increasing on all the roads
around Washington, and with the open
grade crossings SO Numerous in Mary
land. in Virginia and even in the sub
urban District the danger to life is SO
grave that no more time should be lost
in the enactment of laws by both states
and by Congress positively compelling
the elIminati of every such crossing
within a short period, and the estab-
lishment and maintenance of barrier
gates meanwhile. The sacrifice of the
three little children at the Brentwood
death trap should not be in vain.

The Russian Campaign.

IN Franco and Flanders failed to yield
positive results, the activities of the
RusAisn armies in the eastern theater
Of the war gain in interest. Just at
this 1uncture, indeed, the Russian cam
paigp To actually the most important
now being waged, for upon it depends
In considerable measure the whole
scheme of German strategy. At the
outset of the conflict the plan of the
German war board was to strike swiftly
at France and inflict there mortal
blow before Russia could mobilize and
bring her armies up to the point of
rnenacing German soil The Austrian
armies were relied upon to hold back
the chief attack of the Russians. which
was expected to be delivered against
the Galician frontier. while a relatively
small German force guarded the bound
aries of Silesia, Posen and East Prussia
The great surprise of the war came
when Russia presented on all the from
tiers within very few days of the
opening of hostilities forces of such
magnitude that Germany was compelled
to detach considerable numbers from
the armies in the west TO hold them in
military observers of the campaign the
Russian threat in East Prussia was Of
great weight in preventing prompt
German success in France. So large a
contingent of German troops went east
from the western lighting lines that
. Russia was taken at disadvantage
and suffered a serious defeat at Allen
stein, following which the German
troops poured on across the border and
invaded Suwalki. Then came a Rus
sian reconcentration and a German de-
feat in Suwalki. followed by a second
invasion of East Prussia, which is now
in progress.
The Russian campaign has been a sue
cession of advances and retreats which
will require explanation when the
war Is over and full details are obtain

advanced across Poland to the Silesian
border while they were pressing onward
