THE OLD WORLD WAR
FROM DAY TO DAY

sian nation to reorganize the
army, and yet the army once more
Is being held back by smaller
numbers, possibly as inferior as
during the Japanese war.
These facts, quite apparent to
outside observers, are dangerous
food for reflection In Russia. The
German war leaders have always
counted on Slavonic revolutionary
possibilities coming to their aid,
In a war against Russia. II the
present war Is extended over
long period and II Slav impotence
continues against Germany, in
ternal disturbances are practical
ly certain to break out In Russia,
unless the cars armies are able
TO make Roadway against Turkey.
The lack OF any serious Rus
sian initiative In the Caucasus,
coupled with the inability Of the
Slavs to retain the offensive In
Poland, suggests that Russia may
be suffering from the same fail
ure OF equipment that Is 80 seri-
ously hampering the allies In the
west. At the outbreak of the
war. the unlimited numbers Rus
sia could put in the field was a
favorite dinner table topic. Since
then, II has become known that
soldiers do not fight with their
fists, but must have guns and am
munition. Russia probably LACKS
these supplies. Otherwise, what
has become or her exhaustless
millions OF soldiers? Why aren't
they in the field, overwhelming
Won Hdndenberg and marching
VIGOROUSLY across Asia Minor to
Constantinople?
Berlin now confidently asserts
that danger of a Russian invasion
has disappeared. Do the Germans
know that Russias limited war
supplies make impossible the
equipment OF large part OF the
Slavs otherwise available for the
battle line? This fact, together
with the temptation OF onstanti-
nople, and. above all, the leader
ship Of Won Hindenberg, are prob
ably the reasons for Germans sat

Poland.

FILIPINOS EAT 5000 TONS
OF GRASSHOPPERS A YEAR

MANHATTAN. Kas., Dec. l.
Dried grasshoppers are used as food
in thu Philippine Islands" said Henry
Jackson Waters, president Of the col
lege. in a talk before the Agricultural
society In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Three thousand tons
of grasshoppers were marketed In
Manila In a year. Some good and
tempting dishes are prepared from
them.
There Is a grasshopper plague
every cen years In the Philippines"
says President Waters, "and the
problem of combating the grasshop-
pers In a warm climate like the
Philippines is more difficult than In
countries where cold weather serves
as a check.
There are many acres OF unsettled
country which serve as breeding
places for the grasshoppers. The
method used In capturing the grass
hoppers Is to organize drive. A large
shallow tank Is constructed which has
wings of galvanized iron. The tank
is filled with kerosene. The natives
then start the drive three or four
miles away and close in gradually,
driving the grasshoppers before them
into the tank. The grasshoppers are
then dried and sent TO market"

NEW YORK. Dec. I'LL a.
m.-The failure OF the Russian
field army to fulfill the optimistic
predictions Of Petrograd, is now
apparent There has been no
huge victory gained by the Slavs
and Field Marshal Won linden
berg's army has not been split
into three parts preliminary To its
humiliation.
These highly colored narratives
seem specially manufactured In
Petrograd by correspondents who
apparently are at the mercy or
highly imaginative Slavs for their
information. The Russians are
paying little attention to the oper-
atoms In France and Belgium.
The armies of the allies in the
west are chiefly thought OF as
being useful for diverting large
part OF the Austro-G German armies
from the eastern operations.
Petrograd, therefore, regards the
Russian field forces as being op-
posed by numerically inferior en-
emies, thus making victory for
the Grand Duke Nicholas certain
at every encounter.
The danger Of serious internal
disturbances, II the Russian arm
les show no Improvement over
their form during the Japanese
war, Is also an important factor
in explaining the Illogical optim-
ism at Petrograd. II would be
dangerous to the security Of the
present bureaucracy II the news
were allowed to spread through
out Russia that Won Hindenberg
is holding the Slav armies from
the German frontier: II would be
more dangerous II the conviction
were to gain ground among the
people that the war may end
without any German territory In
Russian possession. The Japan
ese were outnumbered two to one
when they defeated the Russians
IN the Manchurian campaign.
Since then heavy additional taxes
have been assessed on the Rus
