MYRIAD FORTS CONFRONT
CAR IN MARCH ON BERLIN.
Advance Through East Prussia Gil
santic Military Undertaking.

It is said that the Russian troops
have been divided into four armies of
100000 men each. These armies will
practically be hurled one after the 9th
er through East Prussia and Galicia
toward Berlin, the goal, the succeeding
armies filling the gaps of the ones
ahead after each general engagement
Thus Russia expects to confront Ger
man re-enfOrcements with fresh troops.
The Russian war office declares that
there will be no necessity for feeding
off the country" as the cOmmissariat
Is in excellent condition.
Small German fortresses will be
stormed. This plan of campaign has
been carried out in the clashes with
German and Austrian troops with
great success. But the main fortifica-
tons. such as Koenigsberg, Posen and
Danzig, will be isolated, the main
strength of the army marching on to
Berlin.
The seizure of Insterburg, thirty
miles within the German frontier,
gives Russia a grip of the railroad
lines which lead to the two most i'm
portant seaports of east PrusSia-koe-
nigsberg, at the mouth of the Pregel
river, where it empties into the Frische
Half, which connects with the Baltic
sea, and Danzig, at the mouth of the
Vistula, emptying into the gulf Of Dan
zig and also connecting with the North
/ sea
| Insterburg is an industrial town of
| 81 900 population. Besides being the
| center of the web of railroads over
/ East Prussia, it is on the main line be
/ tween Berlin and st. Petersburg. 1t
is SOB miles from st. Petersburg.

and connects with a system of outly-
ing works, the principal features Of
which are twelve detached forts. six on

Pregel 1t is the principal fortified
town of East Prussia.
Danzig which is about 100 miles
from koenigsberg and 253 miles from
| Berlin, has a population of 10000 and
is surrounded by strong Notifications,
there being a massive wall about the
city and Gordon of modern forts.
The Russian advance is into regions
in which are many places famous from
the days of the Napoleonic wars.
General Rennenkamp, who is leading
the great Russian army into East Prus
STA, was cavalry general during the
RussO-Japanese war. He took a con

The raising of passenger railroads
rates to pa cents will make but little
difference with individuals, but the
aggregate amount raised will give the
railroads, which are the arteries of our
commercial life, a chance to run on
sound business basis, instead of facing
deficits and receiverships. The Penn
sylvania railroad traversing one of the
most thickly settled and prosperous
sections of the country, has always
had two and a half cents mile for
its mileage. What is more the pat
rCns Of the road have paid it cheerful
ly because they have had the best road
bed, tie first steel car trains and the
fcwest accidents of any railroad in
the country. Two and a half cents is
not very high price to pay for our
transportation, especially if it gives
the railroads the opportunity to assure
safety first and next trains that run
on schedule time.

The Bird Messenger.

4 wonderful little bird is the carrier
pigeon. When one of them is sent on an
errand it keeps about its business and
nothing can tempt it to turn aside.
Straight home it goes. A group of them
were let loose in Rome some time ago
for a seven days trip over the Alps.
Some of them reached home safely,
though very tired. y man says that
one carrier pigeon. sent on a different
journey, stopped to rest on his window
sill few moments, and the little silver
band on its foot showed that it was
bound for New York. The man tried all
scrts of daiuties to coax the little crea-
ture to stay awhile, but it was of no
use. 1t seemed to know it was on i'm

Success in war as well as in every
thing else comes down to detail in the
last analysis. The brilliant war plan
and the brave general must lead the
way, but it is the actual work that
counts in the finish, as the English
soldier explained to the questioner;

marshaled by the Virginia anti-saloon
