Lumber Dealers Protest.

Many members of the lumber man.
ufacturers association of Southern
New England, met here and some
spoke disparagingly OF the alleged eff
forts of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad to avoid pay
ment for lumber ordered. George L.
Ingraham of Norwich said he knew of
a business associate who had $4,000
feet of ties rotting near New Haven.
Others spoke along similar lines. It
was said that the company ordered
the ties, cut in certain dimensions.
and delayed inspections so late that
hundreds of the ties rotted.

SAYS NAPOLEONS BLUNDER WON'T BE
REPEATED BY AUSTRIA AND GERMANY
Strictly Defensive Tactics Will Probably Be Maintained
Toward Russia While Desperately Offensive War Is
Waeed Against Says Editor of Stats Zeitung

invade the eastern portion OF Ger
many come to us from st. Petersburg.
1t is unlikely that the mobilization at
the concentration camps has been
completed. Russia is not prepared to
move millions of men with all the i'm
pediments of a great army to the
frontier in the short space OF three
weeks. The main delay will be caused
by the fact that most of the Russian
railroads are single-track affairs,
totally inadequate to handle the enor-
nous traffic Incidental to the move
ment of her armies.
1.-THE frontier skirmishes along the
Russian border are isolated cavalry
engagements. No battle can be ex-
pected in that direction for at least a
month The brunt of the fighting
will fall upon the Austro- Hungarian
troops, who have been concentrated
on the Russian border with the ex-
ception OF one or two army carps
which have been reported DIT Null
hansen.
Neither Germany nor Austria will
repeat the blunder of Napoleon and
invade Russia A purely defensive
war upon the eastern border and a
desperately offensive wa against
France seems the reasonable plan I'M
der the circumstances. 1t is pos
sible that with the control of the Bal
tic Germany will from time to time
dispatch harrassing parties along the
Russian and Finnish coasts. Such a
movement has already been reported
against Helsingfors, but it has not
been confirmed.
THE situation in Russia cannot be
decidedly satisfactory to the Roma
noffs in view of the remarkable proc
lamation of the Gear to his beloved
Jews The love which the Car
bears the Jews found ample expires
sion in the slaughter at Kischinew,
and more recently in the ritual MUIR
der trial. Uncertain must rest the
crown that leans upon help from such
direction. Throughout the world in
every loyal Jewish breast there burns
deep resentment against Russia.
The appeal to my beloved Jews can
only arouse the scorn and contempt
of every fair-minded American.
1T is uncomfortable that such an
unholy alliance could ever have been
made as that between modern Eng
land and medieval Russia. 1t is still
more unbelievable that England is
prepared to turn the Cossack hordes
loose on German civilization. Should
it succeed England will pay for her
folly

BALKAN STATES
| JOIN AGAINST TURK
Fear Sultan Will Take Advan-

Lost Islands.

PARIS. Aug. 1.-THE Balkan
League which crushed the power of
Turkey in Europe but went to pieces
over the division of the spoils of war,
Is being revived. as Turkey is en-
deavoring to build her navy, taking
advantage of Germany's extremity.
The Balkans recognize that Turkey
with an enlarged feet would not only
be in position to enforce her demands
IN the Aegean Sea and occupy the
Islands now held or claimed by Greece
and Italy, but at the same time she
would not be in the same helpless
position that she was in the last war
when she attempted the transporta-
tion of troops from Asia to European
battlefields
Besides this there is the grave con-
slderation of what alliances Turkey
might form that would jeopardize the
none too secure acquisitions of all
these little states in the last war.
Within the Balkan area the ques-
ton of the purchase of the Goeben
and the Breslau is an issue between
turkey and Greece. To each the
chief interest Is who shall own the
TWO contested islands of Chios and
Mitylene, in the Aegean Sea. They
were given to Greece by the fiat of
the European powers, but Turkey re-
FUSED to give up her sovereignty over
the islands and thus brought the two
nations to the verge of war.
This friction was further increased
by the treatment of the subjects of
each nation that remained on the
soil of the other after the fixing of
the boundaries by the different treat
les. The Turks are leaving the do
minions of King Constantine In great
numbers and fleeing to Asia Minor
and at the same time the Greeks are
leaving Thrace and Asiatic Turkey
