Jaroslaw and Tsingtau,

The news from Russia and Japan tells
of the fall of the fortresses of Jaroslaw
in Galicia and Tsingtau in China. These
two accomplishments by the Russian
and Japanese forces, however. are of
little public interest in comparison
with the developments of the campaign
in France and Flanders, which is re-
garded generally as the major war
work. The capture of Jaroslaw, never
theless. must be reckoned as of prime
Importance in the development of the
Russian campaign. For time the Rus
sian advance in Galicia was so rapid
that it seemed as though the Austrian
army was but a weak supporter of
Germany. Then suddenly the situation
changed; the Austrians resumed the Of
fensive in conjunction with the Ger
man advance into Poland and the Rus
slams withdrew from positions which
had been won after serious conflicts
1t was stated at Petrograd that this
withdrawal was in consequence of an
outbreak of cholera in Galicia, but
military experts concluded that the
real reason was the development of I'M
expected Austrian strength, which
necessitated a revision of the Russian
line to prevent breaking under the
German pressure in Poland. The other
day IL was announced that the siege
of Przemysl had been raised, but this
has not been absolutely confirmed. and
the capture of Jaroslaw is indication
that the Russian aggressive movement
has by no means been checked in Cali
cha. The fall of Jaroslaw must affect
Przemysl, and If the Russians intend to
pursue their campaign along this
course the fall Of Przemysl is rendered
imminent.
The capture Of Tsingtau Is likely to
put an end to the land campaign by
Japan in China against Germany. There
remains practically nothing now foi

Too Many Leaders.
the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
None Of the Mexican patriots seems
to think as much Of his country as Of
himself. The perpetual war of per-
sonalities goes on while the people
suffer. In four years Diaz and his
nephew, Madero, Reyes, Orozco, Huerta
and many others have been eliminated
one way or another. but the dispute
is still about men. Carranza wants to
rule, not to secure peace to Mexico;
Villa will retire, or says he will, if
Carranza will do likewise; the per-
sonal pretensions of Zapata, Obregon,
Angeles and others are in the way of
sensible settlement of the national
problems. and that is merely repeti
ton of Mexico's old trouble. The will
of the people, or of any part of the
people, is never taken into consider
alton. There are too many leaders
every time there Is a political over
turn. and they all want to rule.

Danger of UNDERMINED Troops.

From the New York Sun.
There is food for thought for every
one in the picture which Col. Swinton,
the British official chronicler of the
battle of the Belgian frontier. presents
Of the new German levies, the IN
trained men of the remoter reserves,
going into action. The spectacle of
these devoted men marching to certain
death while they chanted their national
hymn was to him at once inspiring and
pitiable He adds that 'if any proof be
needed that unframed valor alone can
not gain the day in modern war the
advance of the 23d German Corps Oc-
tober % most assuredly furnished it."
AS the science and art of war become
more and more mechanical and exact,
it becomes more and more fatuous to
place reliance entirely or mainly on the
rally of citizen soldiery to the de-
Tense Of their country. Kitchener Is
patiently and doggedly holding back
the hundreds of thousands of men he
has enlisted until next spring. when he

Long Ago.

The dear old days of long ago.
When not a thing went wrong!
Then life was heaven here below
I heard that in a song.
The days when poor old horses drew
The street car up the hill,
And when the boss voting crew
Expressed the peoples will.
IT'S true our ragtime may resound
A questionable strain,
Yet old-time ditties have been found
Quite sportive in refrain.
Those old-time streets were dark and
rough,
And old-time PAGES slow.
These present times are good enough.
Why mourn the long ago?

The Easily Bought Gun.

tient Of the Government Hospital for
the Insane the other day. This nah,

The present system is. therefore.

a pistol. 1t would have been necessary
for him to go to court or some other
place designated by the statute, and
apply to an official for a permit to
purchase a weapon. He would have
been obliged to demonstrate his legiti-
mate need of such weapon. to present
proof of his responsibility in the form
of statements from persons of his &C

securing the necessary document. Such

The Tariff and 1916.

Speaking of 1916, Mr.. Watterson says
| the republicans will challenge the I'm
| derwood tariff at their peril Mr.. Mann
says they are going to take that peril.
And there you are.
What could be more persuasive than
Mr.. Mann's statement that ''the great
est need of the country is revision OF
the tariff? The Underwood law was
fashioned for a time of peace. There
was NOT war cloud in Europe. not
even as big as mans hand. Our I'M
ports and exports were on a peace
basis, and the calculation was for their
remaining so.
But now there is war, and on scale
unprecedented. Business everywhere
in America, in Europe, and in the big
islands of the seals deeply affected.
In Europe 1t is all but paralyzed. With
US it is seriously depressed, and divi-
dends, as well as the governments
revenues, are showing the dishearten-
ing condition. A war tax of a hundred
million dollars has been levied to make
up an estimated Treasury deficiency.
But the Underwood tariff had failed
before the war began. Though calcu-
lated for peace conditions, 1t did not
meet them. The fact is. 1t was bungled
in the making. The Senate gave five
months to revision of the Houses re-
vision, and even then the work was not
well done. 1t is but just to the Senate
to say that its changes were all for the
better, for If the bill the House passed
had been enacted into law business
would have received staggering blow.
When the war closes-whether in two
months or two years does not affect the
argument-neither Europe nor America
will return to former conditions. They
are gone, and forever. Europe will
have to lay. and build on, new business
foundations, while we shall have to
provide for new industries as well as
the old Present American purposes
comprehend making this country the
greatest manufacturing power in the
world.
Necessarily. therefore, we shall need
new tariff to meet the new require
ments. What had failed before the war
began. and is now bolstered up by
war tax. will not answer the times that
are before U.s. We must have an up-to-
date tariff. and it will bear no close re-
semblance to the Underwood tariff.
Mr.. Watterson had better Turkish his
armor. He will need it in the near flu
ture In his business. He is veteran
in the cause of tariff reform. and the
last member of the old guard now in
fighting form. Tilden, Carlisle, Morri-
son, Mills. Frank Hurd and William L.
Wilson have passed over the great
divide. Let him get into action again
and show the youngsters how the trick
was turned in the old dayS. but would
never stay turned.
