London, March fo.--Dispatches
from PetroE-ad and the eastern bat
tie front indicate that the situation Of
the Germans Is becoming more criti-
cal every day. Unless they are mask :
Ing another drive from some quarters
such as they made early In February
down from .he Mazurian lakes. they

the Austrians who take up the line
to the south Of them down 10 Buko-

Except around Ossowiec the Ger
mans in North Poland are practically
hack on the East Prussian frontier.
They are driven out OF Suwalk! and
away from the Niemen. They have
the Narew. Their columns on the
Lomza roads are forced hack to the
international line. They are away
from Przaenysz. They have failed in
The Pilitza region, and on the BZura.
A dispatch from Berlin declares
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
has lsDorted that hts retreat from
the Niemen is in pursuance os a plan.
This is ridiculed at Petrograd. and by
military critics in London. They say
that imperial observers will regard
the German operation as one OF the
costliest failures in the history OF the
eastern operation. The Times cor
respondent ut Petrograd reports that
the German retreat is proceeding In
tho most terrible kind OF weather,
and that the German soldiers have
obviously exhausted their offensive
possibilities.

soots for Russian rroop..

BY the end OF October the Jill re-
ports, 100000 pairs OF boots had been
exported from Japan to Russia, and it
further reports that contract has
been signed calling for the delivery OF
from $4,000 to 100000 cairs a month
until the cessation Of hostilities. The
contract price was not made public,
but IL Is generally assumed to be S425,-
900 for 100, 900 pairs. Japan's capacity
for the manufacture OF boots Is such
that II will probably have no difficulty
in filling the order.
The same paper is authority for the
statement that an order for munitions
of war worth SS,500,000 has been
placed with an Osaka merchant, but
no details Of the nature Of the supplies
are given.
Another Japanese paper reports a
war order for 100000 yards of wooden
cloth valued at S5,000.000. IL remarks
that a result OF this order will be tre-
mendous rise in the price OF wooden
cloth because of the domestic require
ments. This is the second large WOOL
en- cloth order from Russia.

transportation Problem.
In the meantime may I make this sug.

an exceedingly serious and pressing one
IN this country. There has from tine TO
time OF late been reason 10 fear that our
railroads would not much longer be able
TO cope with IL successfully, as at present
equipped and coordlnated. ! suggest that
IL would be wise to provide for a commits
sion of inquiry TO ascertain by q thorough
canvass OF the whole question whether
our laws as at present framed and ad-
might be IN the solution of the problem
IL Is obviously problem that lies at the
very foundation Of our efficiency as
people. Such an inquiry ought to draw

ton.
No one, am sure, would wish TO take
any backward step. The regulation OF
the railways of the country by federal
commission has had admirable results
and has fully justified the hopes and ex-
pectations OF those by whom the policy
of regulation was originally proposed
The question Is not what should we I'M
do? IL is, whether there is anything else
we can do that would supply us with ef-
fective means, in the very process of reg
ulat!on. for bettering the conditions un-
der which the railroads are operated and
for making them more useful servants OF
the country as a whole 1t seems to me
that Il might be the part OF wisdom.
therefore, before further legislation In
this field is attempted, TO look at the
whole problem of coordination and eff
cheney in the full light of a fresh assess
mont OF circumstance and opinion, as a
guide to dealing with the several parts
Of IL.
For what we are seeking now, what In
my mind Is the single thought Of this
message, Is national efficiency and secur-
rlty. We serve great nation. Wo should
serve Ii In the spirit of its peculiar genius
1t is the genius of common men for self
government, industry, justice. liberty and
peace. We should see to II that il lacks
no instrument. no facility or ysgor OF law.
to make II sufficient to play its part with
energy, safety and assured success. In
this we are no partisans but heralds and
prophets OF new age.
