RUSSIANS SENT into
HARRASSED BELGIUM
Hurried Around By Way Of
Scotland.

London, Sept. 15.-All doubt that
passed through Great Britain to the
battlefields OF Belgium was removed
when the Cardiff News published a
definite, distinct statement from a
Welsh engineer who travelled from
Archangel to Leith with $500 Co.'S
sacks.
The extent of Lord Kitchener's
master stroke" is now comprehended
and England is ringing with enthusi-
asm. Seventy thousand Russian SOL
diers, described as veterans of mag
nificent physique and bearing, have
been transported from the Russian
harbor Of Archangel to Leith and
other Scottish ports, and from there
entrained to the channel.
II is not known what proportion of
the 10000. which force constitutes
practically two full army corps, has
been landed at Ostend or at other re-
ception camps, but unquestionably a
very great proportion is now in Belgi-
UNI and is being modified for imme-
date service. Attempts to conceal
the movement of the cars soldiers
through Scotland and England have re-
Taxed because the movement has been
practically consummated and the mill
tary necessity for secrecy is at an end.
This movement has been vigorously
carried on for ten days. at least. But
the precautions of the government and
the loyalty of British newspapers have
hitherto completely masked the move

STEAM FIRE ENGINE
HAS ADVANTAGES
THIS FACT WAS DEMONSTRATED
AT A RECENT FIRE IN
CLEVELAND.

A striking advantage OF the steam
fire engine mounted on a motor cnas-
SIS over the gasoline engine with gas
oline pumping machinery was dem
onstrated on March End In Cleveland
where steam pumping engine
mounted on a Peerless fire truck
chassis has recently been placed in
service.
An alarm came in from q bad fire
at 140th street and Kinsman avenue
and two engines responded--a gaso-
line pumping engine from Ninety
third street and Union and motorized
steam engine from Seventy ninth
street and Woodland avenue.
Because of Its shorter run the gas
olene engine arrived on the scene
first and was about to hook up to a
hydrant when It was discovered that
the pipes had been frozen solid by
two or three days Of extremely cold
Weather.
The gasolenc engine was helpless
under the circumstances until the
motorized steamer arrived a minute
or two later. II was hooked up to the
hydrant, steam from boiler thawed
the pipes in a few seconds and sub
