WORK Fon THE pEMoCn.rs.

The almost universal praise from
an almost unanimous press and from
so many leaders or thought and action
IN the country which has greeted the
trust message OF President Wilson Is
cause for congratulation to the Presi-
dent, and source OF great pleasure to
his party within and without the
halls of Congress 1t Is also cause
for wonder, for there probably never
has been a President to receive so much
praise md so little criticism on the
production OF such an important state
paper.
Yet, pleased rs Mr.. Wilson and his
friends may well feel. and jubilan, as
II may make the majority party In the

THE WORLD Is HIS FIELD.

Mayor Mitchell Is not to be blamed
for attempting to secure for New York
the services of Colonel George W.
Cocktails as police commissioner, and
New York people are not to be blamed
for helping him. The Mayor and tho
city would gain by his acceptance. and
tho work Colonel Cocktails would have
TO perform Is worthy OF big man.
Mayor Mitchell seems TO DO seeking
efficiency for Now York and that he
Is making his appointments to that
end rather than for political effect Is
evidenced by his selection OF Colonel
Cocktails for police commissioned.
Mayor Mitchel's purpose Is good one,
and success would be beneficial to his
city.
But Colonel Gocthals is of moro
value TO the country than to New York
City. He Is needed by President VIII
son moro than he Is needed by AIayor

through 1t, the world, as Governor OF

Infinitely more service to infinitely

Colonel Cocktails belongs to tho world
ana not TO any one city. no matter how
large and how important that city may
be. He belongs to tho world because
the proper administration OF the Canal
Zone Is of interest To the whole world.

can you tell me anything OF suhma-

The IIunley seems to have been a
true submarine. She was built In Mo-

the enemy. She went down and stayed
down several times at Charleston In the

have been raised after the war The

tirely fruitful suggestion of the Co

type of torpedo boat, and was more
promising. Quite a number of boats
of the David type were on the stocks
ia tho Confederate navY-yard AT the
close Of the war. Nothing seems to
have been publishd about the Confcd-
crate submarine. The History OF the
Confederate Navy" does not contain
any index reference to any submarine
ut all. and the Records OF the Union
and Confederate Operations" does not
do much better. In the cases OF that
most admirable and most admirably
kept institution, the Confederate Mu-

the formative circumstances had

FIGHT BACK AT
THE WESTERN SIDE

London. Aug. 29.-The military
correspondent of The Times, In his
comment on the war today, says:
There is great difference between
the tasks of the allies in the western
and eastern theaters of war.
In the west, our task is stonewall-
ing; that Of the Russians Is steam
rolling.
The situation in the west is such
that only an extraordinary stroke of
good fortune could give us a smashing
victory and enable us to annihilate the
foe. 1t is our business to keep our
wicket up while Russia makes the
runs. We must fight, If need be, to
the Atlantic ropes, without allowing
ourselves to be knocked out. Ger
many must have an aggressive victory
to win, and it must be our endeavor
to foil her object.
"The Russians have a most brilliant
role in this war. Russia must reach
Berlin within couple of months. II,
at the end of that time, our claws are
still fast in the German armies in the
west, and II Servia still has her teeth
in Austria's back. then the strategic
and political object Of the war will be
achieved" -.

Double Identification OF
Corpse at Williston Dis

Williston, N. D.. Aug. 29-Develop-
ments made public today indicate
that both Carl Radintz of Minneapolis
and Henry Sexse, Mckenzie county
homesteader, were both murder vic
Tins.
A second corpse. Just found in a
deep ravine in Mckenzie county, near
Sexse's homestead. has been positively
identified as being his body, and s..
A. Burns. who faces charge of mur-
der. must still fight such accusation,
though different corpse Is brought
forward as his victim.
Carl Radintz of Minneapolis was
shot and thrown into the Missouri
river, probably at Mondak. Mont. His
body. recovered some time ago from
the river. was first identified as that
of Sexse.
Sexse. it is shown. was killed by
blows over the head. his skull being
crushed in, while his Jaw had been
shattered by blows
Burns is accused of numbering
Sexse to obtain possession Of the lat
ter's land. Burns displayed a deed
running from Sexse to himself, sup
posedly given previous to Sexse's al
legged departure for Canada.

London. Aug. ga dispatch re-
ceived here from st. Petersburg indi-
Gates that both in Germany and Aus
tria determined stands have been
made today to resist the Russian ad-
vance, but it is added that these meas
ures Of defence are desperate rather
than hopeful and this view is sup
ported by authentic independent in
formation.
It Is known that the Russians in
Galicia, Austria. are opposed by only
three army corps, which are massed
for the protection Of Lemberg. The
defending force there is declared to
be far from adequate. Austrian rein
forcements are hurrying forward
Russian air scouts have taken obser-
vations over Lemberg.
The other general battle Is reported
to be in progress in east Prussia, but
an authentic telegram addressed by
the kaiser himself to his ministry
practically admits the defeat Of all
directs that thorough measures be
taken for the relief OF East Prussian
residents who have been driven from
their homes.
Russians Have Crossed vistula.

ter in Galicia. The forces in Poland

cost. In accordance with this policy.
the Russians are not permitting them
selves to spend much time in tho
stcrming Of strong positions. If po-
sition is too strong to admit Of quick
capture. the Russians are content to
invest and isolate it, detaching troops
for that purpose and continuing the
advance of their main army. That
was the method at Konigsberg, where
Austrian outposts have been driven
back to their defences. and that may
be the method at Lemberg.
The names of Vienna and Berlin
are first in the cars list Of positions
which are to be occupied at all has.
ards and with all speed.
Strategists both here and in st. Pc
tersburg agree that the Russian policy
of Investment and isolation may be
acted upon even beyond Berlin, IL cir
cumstances make it advisable-that II
the French border situation appears
to be desperate, when the Russians
reach Berlin they may simply isolate
the German capital and push on
against the rear Of the main armies
Of Germany. The czar will have plen-
ty Of forces for all necessary invest
ment operations without seriously
weakening his driving army.
