blunders were personal blunders Of
bungling politicians. Russia has al

But in facing Austria, Russia con-
fronts not a German power, but pow

will thus be fighting Slav and the Ger
mans, whatever their colors, will be
fighting for Slavs and with other Slavs
and postponing the realization of the
Pan-German ambitions and dreams.
Jealousy Great Factor.
Here, then, is a strange paradox,
but not the only paradox in situation
full of anomali es-anomalie insepara-
BILE from the very nature and complex
ion of the Austro-Hungarian empire,
an empire, to repeat, that has been
held together quite as much by the
jealousies end differences of outsiders
as by the dynastio and personal In
fiuence of the HapsbuTgs.
If Austria cannot and does not rep
resent German interests and German
culture in this fight, what is it fighting
for? Pan-Servian agitation did not
endanger its existence, while the war
does. Its own Slaw elements at no
time displayed an inclination to ex-

contained the promise of such preser-
walton.
The war actually endangers the ex-
istence Of the dual monarchy, for aside
from the chances of defeat and disas-
ter, there is the fact that the Slav sub
jects of the emperor cannot sympa-
thize with it. The separatist and par
ticularist tendencies feared by the
court and government can only be
deepened and strengthened by the con-
f1ict.
The army and navy may be loyal
and obedient, as many assert. The
army and navy may be Austrian" If
the nation is not. But popular senti-
ment is a potent factor in war and
popular sentiment among the Austrian
and Hungarian Slavs does not favor
fratricidal strife.
No wonder the intelligent world is
puzzled and utterly at a loss to ex-
plain AustTia's course.

The Last Ice House Gone,

The passing of the last old ice houses
on the river front removes a familiar
landmark and at the same time betokens
a change in economic conditions. The ice
house is practically thing of the past,
that big, towering structure designed es-
pecially for the storage Of ice brought
here from the north by schooners. Nova
days the ice used IN this city, as in most
other cities, is made by so-called artificial
means in the locality, and the ice-carryine
trade has practically ceased. 1t is well
within easy recollection when the manu-
factured Ice was q novelty and was re-
garded by some consumers with suspicion
as being not altogether wholesome. Many
people liked the appearance of few
grains of sawdust on the ice to insure
that it came from a frozen river, or pond.
or lake somewhere up in the north, and
considered that congelation Of water by a
process in which chemicals figured could
not be productive Of healthful COM
modify.
The ice houses on the river front stood
for an interesting traffic between here and
the Maine coast. At one time the schoon-

have checked the German advance
| toward Warsaw, and thus the sItua-
tion continues the seesawing aspect
that has marked it in that region from
the outset Of the war. Whereas
short time ago the Russians were ap-
parently moving back from Cracow.
they are seemingly advancing again
toward the Galician capital, Vienna
admitting losses east of that city.
The most Interesting development of
the past week was the attack of. the
British by sea and air against Cux-
haven, which is the German naval base
OF the North sea 1t is believed that
'from Cuxhaven proceeded the vessels
that recently raided the English coast.
No knowledge is at hand of the dam
age caused there by the British ships
and airplanes. Simultaneously comes
word of a French air attack on Metz
as a reprisal for the German bomb
dropping at Nancy, an unfortif1ed city
It is evident that in the opinion of
the French and English commanders
their forces are not yet strong enough
to warrant general offensive move
ment. They perhaps are waiting for
spring to render operations easier, but,
naturally, the improvement in weather
conditions will facilitate German op-
erations equally. No figures are avail
able as to the present relative number
of the Germans and their enemies,
though 1t is assumed that there are
larger armies in the field under the
English, French, Belgian, Russian.
Servian and Montenegrin banners than
under the German, Austrian and Turk
ish. While the Germans have not been
able to gain any valuable objective
thus far, the fact that they have main
tanned the warfare SO gene1 lily, al
most exclusively, upon other than Ger
man soil against numerical oads at
tests the remarkable efficiency of their
war machinery.
At present no further indication is
given as to the probable course of
Italy. whose neutrality last week ap-
peared to be menaced by the landing
of troops at Avlona in Albania. No
protest has yet been made from Vienna,
and perhaps the Berlin innuence will
suffice to restrain Austria from precipi- |
tating an issue which could only re-
suit in a material addition to the anti
Teutonic force.

The Twenty-secoud Week of War.

With the close Of the present week
the war will have been In progress
Just I've months. Practically the lines
of contending armies remain where
they were three months ago, with the
Germans holding a porIon of north
eastern France and virtually all of
Belgium and the western edge of
Poland OF German territory the only
portions occupied by hostile forces are
the southern edge of Alsace, a fringe
of the southwestern portion of Lor-
raine and a strip of East Prussia along
the southern and eastern boundaries
Austria, Germany's ally. has suffered
more considerable invasion tnan Ger
many and for the greater part of the
campaign has been fighting the Rus
SLAMS on its own soil in Galicia, while
for a short period the Servian and
Montenegrin forces carried the war
into Austrian territory on the south.
There is no sign at present of any
impending change in the relative posi-
lions of the hostile armies. From Lon
don and Paris come reports indicative
of steady slight gains in the west as
the German trenches are forced, and
appreciable progress is claimed toward
driving the German line back. The
French have manifested a vigorous
aggressive against Metz, the capture
of which is apparently regarded as
worth heavy sacrifices, not only for
sentimental reasons. but because OF
the strategic bearing OF this base on
the German lines of communication in
the south field Of the western cam

Cold Weather.

The temper atures during the past
two or three days have been unusually
low for Washington. So close an ap-
proach to the zero mark is exceptional
at tins time of the year, ordinarily oc-
curing only once or twice during the
latter part of the season. The lowest
point reached within recent years was
10 ueg. ees below zero, which was
touched during the great storm of 1893.
A feeling prevails among some WASH
Ing sIonians that the local winters have
been growing mlIder of late years. 1t
is undoubtedly true that for some years
past december has been a comparative
ly open month, the real winter" con-
cent? ating in January and February.
Thus far this year, however. there has
been enough cold to upset this theory.
Fortunately the snowfall has been
sligh mt. otherwise there would have been
great suffering here among the poor;
although in one respect snow brings
relief. IN that 1t furnishes emergency
employment to some people.
