SLAMS In Poland. another big battle Will
soon be In progress, which may de-
eide whether the Germans are to get
to Warsaw or whether the Russians
are again to threaten an invasion OF
Germany.
The Russian delay in fulfilling ex
pcctations that they would prove a
serious menace to German territory Is

He'd countries. but military men ex-
press the view that it Is better for
Russia to fight In her own territory

be more on an equality

 When the war with Spain broke out, however, the old fire burned in his eye, and he offered no objection when his son, a stalwart specimen of young manhood joined the national army and went to Cuba to fight.
 One day, after the battle of San Juan, the young man received letter from him.
