The Russian Campaign.

There is little reason to doubt now
the German report of Russian defeat
in East Prussia at Allenstein. where,
it is claimed. 10000 of the czar's troops,
with all their artillery, were captured
St. Petersburs-now Petrograd-admits
that heavy losses were suffered in the
late fighting in East Prussia, but gives
no details 1t remains to be seen
whether this blow cripples the Russian
advance into Germany or merely serves
to check it. Obviously, strong German
reinforcements we're rushed to the
eastern front, probably from Belgium.
The Russian operations on the left
Of the line, in Austrian Galicia, are
apparently progressing. Late dis
patches indicate the early evacuation
of Lemberg, the capital one report
from Vienna to Rome stating the prep
arations for the retirement have
already been made. Apparently this
was necessary to avoid an attack tina t
would have cost the Austrians heavily.
Conflicting statements come from

campaign in Russian Poland, some in
dicating an advance into the heart of
this Russian province and others mere

War Never Humane.

From the New York Evening Post.
How thin is the veneer of our civili-
cation now appears with every news
paper issue containing dispatches from
the front. This morning the papers
are again full Of charges and counter
charges Of atrocities. Thus, besides
the familiar accusations that the Ger
mans are killing priests, women and
children, We are asked to believe that
Belgians have dragged German women
naked through the streets by the hair
of their heads; that Belgian boy
killed in cold blood the commander
of the Germans in Louvain: that the
Austrians killed twenty young girls in
single house, besides executing sixty
Servian prisoners in one place and mu :
tilating dead bodies elsewhere. From
Germany come stories of Russian atroc-
tiles in East Prussia, and before
twenty-four hours have elapsed we
shall have, without doubt, word from
Austria of the horrible Servian bar
barities and the excuses of the Cos
sacks in Galicia.

New York.

John A. Hennessy has challenged
Gov Glynn to a joint debate. He is
a democratic candidate for governor
of New York on an anti-Tammany
platform, and is assuming that Gov.
Glynn is Tammany's choice.
Neither man Is a spellbinder. Mr..
Hennessy is forcible speaker. and
aggressive in his methods. Gov. Glynn's
handles it we'll.
Joint debates are a little out of
fashions little old-timey. Whenever
they are mentioned in politics. discus

bate. which took place in 1858. That
was a hummer. and laid the founda-
lions for the candidacy of Mr.. Lincoln
for the presidency two years later.
That debate was warm. but did not
estrange the participants. While po-
litically opposed. they were personal
friends when they met on the stump
and remained so after the debate had
ended. Mr. Douglas gained the sen
atorship. and was one OF Mr.. Lincoln's
supporters when the latter. as Presi-
dent. asserted the national authority
in behalf of the preservation of The
Union.
But while that debate was held or
a great national issue, the one pro-
posed by Mr.. Hennessy would be con-
fined to local issue. He would at

government. and insist that Gov. Glynr

No Repetition of Sedan Yet.

AS far as the official dispatches from
the fighting in Europe disclose, the an
niversary of Sedan passed without any
development of a special significance to
mark the day for either the Germans or
the French. although doubtless ooti'
sides hoped for such a spectacular incl
dent. 1t is true that the German an
noucement of the capture of do,ooo Rus

day" but the fighting occurred actualiF
before that, and in any case there Wouio
be no particular significance In military
victory in the fighting between the Ger
man and Russian armies with respect 10
the great French disaster of 1870.
Probably the German hope has BEEN
on partly sentimental grounds, TO marx

capture of a large allied force on French
soil. AS practical matter this would
be of the utmost Importance for It is

cost of advancement across France is GER

Caravans. and the kaiser's armies can as

much beating, while victory Is OFTEN

Continuous reports are received or a
pressing back of the left wing OF the
allies in France. which signifies a closer
approach to Paris. At the same time an
underlined and INDICATED French success

the movement seems to be somewhat piV-

the northwest and advancing in the
southeast and about holding its own IN

Meanwhile the Germans are making
desperate attempt to break through nj
tie west of this center in the neishoor-
hood of ST. Quentin. One unofficial re-
mort from Paris this morning states that
Germans have been fighting at Com
peiene. which is well beyond the supposed
allied lines. about half way between St
Quentin and Paris Should this rove to
be more than a raid i, doubtless means
that the allied line has been broken. IN
which case the left flank has been sepa-
rated from the main body of the allies.
which would be a notable German sue
cess. Yet all official reports insist that
the allied line is holding intact, and

The Papal Election.

The effect of war in Europe has
shown no more markedly than in the
comparative subordination of the news
from Rome relative to the meeting OF
the papaI conclave to elect a successor
to the late Plus y. Ordinarily the
election of Pope would rate as one OF
the most important items of world
news, but today. with eight nations at
war and others on the eve OF entering
the fighting. the conclave at Rome is
virtually forgotten. OF course, the
proceedings there will be followed from
day to day by the world. but save in
church circles only with casual inter-
est The personality of the next Pope
will perhaps play an important part In
the political adjustments of Europe to
follow the war. but meanwhile the
progress of military campaigns is OF
more direct consequence.

Senator Gallinger.

Mr.. Gallinger was unopposed in yes
| terday's New Hampshire primaries TOT
| the republican nomination for senator.
But he will have two opponents Tor the
office at the polls in Novemher-a DEM
ocrat, and a bull mooser. If the people
of the state are alive to their best IN
terests they will re-elect him by an
! overwhelming majority.
In Washington the senator is very
popular He has made study OF the
city's meaning and welfare as the
CAPITAL of the country, and as mem
Der of the District committee OF the
Senate has rendered the community
great service. On all propositions bear
ing on it's growth and good govern
ment he has taken friendly and pro-
gressive stand.
Likewise is his record on national
questions praiseworthy. He has stud
led them closely. and as result come
70 prominence in the Senate. He Is,
and has been for years, one OF ms
party's leaders there. He rates with
| the best parIiamentarians in the body,
| and in debate is very ready and ef-
fectiye. He is one of New England's
best expressions as a congresslonai
force.
The Star the other day offered its COM
pliments to the south on some of its
recent senatorial nominations. pointing
out that the men chosen had shown mt
ness for national legislation, and that
this was conspicuously a time when
veterans in that line of work should be
kept in office.
Should not the north copy the souths
example? Mr.. Gallinger is a veteran of
proved capacity. After two terms in the
House. he took his seat in the Senate
March 4, 1891. Nearly thirty years,
therefore. mark his time in Washington
in New Hampshire's commission: and
during his service he has had to do with
all the important questions that have
| come up for treatment
OF most particular note at this time is
the question of a merchant marine. At
last the United States is to take credit
able place again as a carrying power on
the sea. Mr.. Gallinger understands this
question thoroughly-no man in the
Senate more thoroughly-and his advice
is valuable on the matter now, and will
be later, until the new policy is shaped
and well established
Mr.. Gallinger is on Mr.. Roosevelt's
black list. characterized as a boss and
reactionary. But the reason is well un-
derstood. The senator refused to desert
his party two years ago. and Is today
opposed to the policies which Mr.. Roose-
Welt would substitute for those upon
which the republicans first gained, and
long held. power. In the press reports
of yesterdays primaries it is mentioned
that the vote of the New Hampshire
bull moosers was very light" It should
be even lighter in November.

Which Side !?
From the Dayton Journal.

7 rom the UdytOu JOufHuI.
Monarchs and peoples now at war
confidently affirm that God is on their
side. Perhaps they believe it; perhaps
the wish is father to the thought, but
they make the claim, and their various
priesthoods concur in the belief and
pirate and fitting at this time to call
attention to words used by our own
great Lincoln during the darkest hours
Of the civil war. In response to the
question: Are you sure that God is on
your side?" he answered: II do not
know; 1 have not thought about that.
But I am very anxious to know wheth-
err we are on Gods side"
The difference here in mental and
spiritual attitude admits of no en-
larged comment.
