War is always full of surprises.
One of the first of the present con-
f1ict was the stubborn defense of
Iiege, which the Germans expected
to walk over. One of the next was
the comparatively easy capture OF
Namur, which was much more
strongly fortified than Liege, and
was expected to hold out for some
time. With the theater of opera
lions, there should be surprise on
two every day.

The Russians seem to be overrun-
ming Northeastern Germany with
comparative ease The country their
successes have been won in is Prus-
sian Poland, which is sort of
German panhandle, jutting out be
tween Russian Poland and the Baltic
Sea. While the Germans have some
strongly fortified towns in that terri
tory, they do not seem to have many
men, the kaiser having rushed most
of his armies westward to attack
France On the other hand, Russia
is so situated that she can throw the
greatest weight of her armies against
this portion of German territory. The
Russians are not likely to meet any
adequate opposition till they strike
the line of Vistula, which is strongly
fortified. This Vistula, however,
flows thru Russian Poland, which
will enable the Russians to flank the
Germans on this line as long as they
are able to overwhe1m the latter in
the open field. From the borders of
Russian Poland to Berlin is only 200
miles. across fiat and open country
and it is by no means improbable
that the kaiser will have to slacken
his attacks on France to defend his
own capital.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL LAW

The act is still on the statute
books, but what of its enforcement?
Has the railroad commission ever is
sued any order that the law be made
effective? If the commission has
taken such steps the Reporter7Star
has failed to observe it. The law
contained provision that the law
should be Of force January /, 1914,
but it was left to the commission to
make it effective. The commission
held hearings at various points in
the state and took arguments of the
railroad counsel and the people un-
der consideration. That was several
months ago. Is the commission still
celebrating the question ?-Orlando
Reporter-Star.
Undoubtedly the commission is yet
celebrating this measure, and is not
likely to do anything but, deliberate
or forget it.
