standing the action last week Of the
state association of county supervis.

states the Dunsley was peaceful and
unarmed trader.

Lack Of Munitions
Fatal to Russians

One of Russia's greatest en-
barrassments in her conduct OF
the war has been a shortage Of
guns and ammunition. Military
writer's, while not diseountIng the
effectiveness Of the enormous
Austro- German offensive move
ment, have stated that the extent
Of Russian reverses In the last
few months has been due In part
to inadequate supply Of munitions.
Notwithstanding every effort to
increase the domestic output,
Russian facilities are still COM
parativeIy small and entirely in
sufficient to meet the large de-
mands Of such a campaign as Is
now under way. With the Baltic
sea closed to her vessels from
without, she has been able to i'm
port supplies only through the port
Of ArchangeI, closed by Ice during
large part Of the year, or over
the trans-sIberian railroad. The
attempt Of the allies to force the
DardaneIIes has one Of Its great
objects the opening Of the straits
route for the assistance Of Russia.
Large orders have been placed
in the United States by Russia
and extensive shipments have
been made from Seattle and other
Pacific ports. Japan also has for
warded war supplies to Russia.
Advices received by the Associ-
ated Press from VIadivostok sew
eraI weeks ago said that great
AMOUNTS Of supplies were received
there for transportation to the
Russian front. Word was received
from Toxic early this month that
Japan had stripped large coast
auns from her Notifications on
the northeastern coast and had
shipped them to Vladlsvostok.
Notwithstanding this assistance,
the Russian supply Of munitions
has fallen far below the requisite
amount, and a fortnight ago the
Russian dura instituted a secret
inquiry into this condition Of at
fairs. It was reported that in this
connection charges had been
brought against General w. A.
soukhomlInoff, who resigned as
minister of war in June.

American government Is not yet at all
sure of the facts and considers Its IN
formation very fragmentary.
Secretary Lansing said the situation
was exactly as 1t stood Saturday; that
no steps had been taken other than
to get accurate information as to what
had taken place.
From the fact that Ambassador
Gerard was not directed to seek an
explanation, the inference was drawn
that the state department has decid.
ed to let the German government tni-
tiate any explanation it may have to
offer.
Ambassador Page at London had
sent by mail some affldavits and other
data, but has been instructed to cable
synopsis of the material.
In the view of the state depart
ment, no points have been established
beyond doubt regarding the important
questions Of convoy, the change OF
course of the Arabic just before the
torpedo struck, and other essentials.
All the information received. aside
from the newspaper reports. which re-
feet censorship, is embodied In one
brief afidavit by an American, Zellah
Covington. The department regards
it as essential that this shall be cor
roborated and supplemented.
The American embassy will be ex-
pected to find survivors and secure
their statements, which may be slow
work.

PROPER TRAINING OF ALIENS DE-

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 23.-Respond-
Ing to numerous inquiries, the bureau
Of naturalization today issued gener-
al letter relative to its views as to the
course which should be followed in
training the alien population in Amer
lean citizenship.
While pointing out the impossibility
Of laying any hard and fast rules on
the subject, the letter declares that the
prime requisite is ability to speak the
English tongue.
1T is through this medium alone .
1t says, that aliens can acquire q
practical knowledge of our institu-
tions."
Above all, the letter says, aliens
should be taught that the supreme
authority in this country is the law
and that the first duty of an American
citizen Is obedience to that law.
