Entire Line to Be Given lin

London, July 3l.-There were strong
indications today that not only has
Warsaw been abandoned by the Rus
slams, but that the evacuation of the
entire line in Poland is completed.
The main SlGv armies are now estab.
lished along the new line of defense
extending from Kovno soutaward
through Grodno and on the Brest. Lit
0ysk, The latter point is 1l5 miles east
of Warsaw.
This would mean that GRAND Duke
Nicholas has conducted a successful re.
treat along vast front of 200 miles.
For weeks work of entrenchng and
strongly fOrtifying the new line has
been in progress. While the forces
spread out over the line from the Me.
men river to the Narew and to the west
and south of Warsaw nave been hold.
ing the Germans in check, the Russian
retirement ha3 been conducted under
cover of this resistance.
Read guard actions continue and will
be maintained to the last to harrass
tne enemy and hamper the Teutonic
advance. All dispatches reaching here
agre that the emntry from which the
Russians have withdrawn has been laid
waste. Nothing is left on which an
army might live. In the territory about
Warsaw everything was put to the
torch. The destruction in the northern
provinces is complete.
The Russian line held without a ser.
ious break while the retreat was ia
progress, Petrograd adviees declare, and
nowhere will the Germans obtain any
great quantities of stores, guns or other
military equipment
Practically the only residents re.
manning in the evacuated territory are
Jews and German sympathizers.

mail committee, when asked to state
he railroad side of the controversy
the American farmer, said IN part:
1.-THE railway mail pay question
IN he settled-and settled perma-
,.e-tly and with justice to all con-
aerne d-as soon as the American peo'
lie realize that the whole subject
while seemingly complicated and tech
meal, boils down to few simple
points of fair business dealing which
no one need lie . rate expert to un-
derstand.
1.-THE first is that the post ONCE 90
partment weighs the mails, and re-
adjusts the pay Of the railroads, only
once in four years. This compels the
railroads to carry the increase In the
mail tonnage during the intervening
years without pay-manifestly an In
justice in the case Of . rapidly grow
ing business. One consequence has
been that last year the railroads car
ried fully half the parcel post foE
nothing.
"A second point u this: In add
ton to carrying the mails. the rail-
roads are required to operate many
travelling post onaces for sorting ana
DISTRIBUTING the mails while In transit
But the post once department paya
for such post Offices only whore taey

IN the many cases in which 1t merely
requires the use Of post once apart
ments In combination cars. although
such apartments differ from the full
railway post Office cars only in size.
More than 1900 apartments Of this
character have been fitted up, and
are maintained for the exclusive use
OF the post office department. Fail
ure to pay for them has been an es-
pecial hardship to the smaller roads
on which the department does not find
1t necessary to utilize whole cars.
One last point: In thousands Of
instances (though not in ALL the
post office department requires the
railroads to carry the mails back and
forth between railroad stations and
post offices. but pays them nothing
Tor this extra service beyond the
rates covering the rail transportation.
The railroads have no choice but to
perform this additional service gratis,
or refuse to carry the mails at all.
Now for the remedies the railroads
ask: They do not ask to have the
mails weighed daily, or to have each
shipment weighed and paid for sep
arately. as is done In the case Of
private shippers. They merely ask
to have the mails weighed, and the
pay Of the railroads adjusted. at least
once q year. instead Of once in four
years. They also ask that apartment
post office cars be paid for, at reason.
able rates, according to size. Lastly,
they ask that the post Office depart.
ment cease to require Of them free
messenger service between stations
and post offices, and either relieve
them Of this service or pay fairly for
1t. These are the reforms the rail.
roads ask Of congress. They gladly
lay these reforms before the public,
confident that they will appeal to the
common sense and fairness of Ameri.
can voters"

Will you please tell me the meaning
and derivation Of the words chauvin-
ism and chauvinist?
A chauyinist is one who is absurdly
jealous of his country's honor or pulled
up with All exaggerated sense Of ma
tional glory. The words "chauvinist''
and 'chaIvinism are taken from the
name of Nicolas Chauvin. a soldier of
Napoleon. who was so notorious for
his exaggerated and demonstrative de-
votion to the imperial cause that he
was caricatured on the stage. and his
name cari.- to stand for all people who

efforts Of other church organizations
to interfere with the freedom Of the
ballot make one Of the greatest perils
Of this age, and present problem that
should receive thoughtful considers
ton Of both laymen and citizens.
Sucking babes may we'll sQuirm in
their cradles when ministers in con-
vention assembled release the hearts
Of men and grab them by the throat,
for Christianity has broken down, re-
1igion has become q farce and the
pulpit q failure. When the church
substitutes force for persuasion, COM
mand for conviction and coercion for
reason the sheriff had as we'll pass
the sacrament plain-clothes men take
charge Of the altar and policemen

It Is as dastardly crime against
government for q minister to under
take to deliver the votes Of his parish
toner's to a candidate, as it is for
q ward heller to deliver q block of
voters to q political boss, and both
ought to be prosecuted, for the law

fensive to decency, business morals
and q crime against society. Any
convention, whether composed Of
saints or sinners, rich or poor, white
or black, that seeks to prostitute pow

broken up by the police and its lead

No man in joining the church should
sacrifice his citizenship, forfeit his

times has been drenched with the
blood of our forefathers, fighting
to throw of the ecclesiastical yoke
from the state, and the suggestion Of
q return to these medieval conditions
with their horror and their torture
should not be tolerated for moment
Laws should be passed prohibiting
any preacher, or combination OF
preachers, from delivering or attempt.

congregation to any candidate for Of
fice and suitable legislation should be
passed preserving the sanctity of the
pulpit from political vandalism. It Is
as much menace to church and state
for Q politician to occupy the pulpit

sermon. He has no more right to
preach his politics from the pulpit
than teacher has to teach his poll
tics to his pupils. A preacher cannot
make political trickery righteous by
usage any more than he can make
profanity respectable by practice. 1t

induction In hours yet the trend of
Y our legislatures has been to discourage
his activities. Mr.. VIM. Sproule,

Company, when asked to discuss en-.

because all business is bewildered and
uncertain. It does not know whittier
It may proceed in safety. It does not
know with what snares its path may
be laid. This condition began with
transportation and now extends to all
business. The greatest trouble with
this country today Is that every busi-
ness which has been developed by the
genius Of the American people has
become the object Of unforeseen at

threat or danger Of attack. Our laws.
which formerly were precise and def.

loose generalities called crimes. which
the men who. drew the laws and the
men who interpret those laws cannot
themselves define with any precision.
Even when they endeavor to expound
those laws they make them more OBJ

There is nothing more distressing
to an employer Of labor than to turn

DARIUS

The neigh of . horse made Darius
King Of Persia. the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method Of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh Of a horse. the
bark of dog or the bray Of donkey.
1t would be great blessing and would
give our citizens q better opportunity
to pursue the yocations Of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political. plums
by raising rows and who fash swords
dripping in the blood Of industry ur:-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by q clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back alleys OF civilization.
Some people waste entirely too much
time waiting for the unexpected to
happen.
There are SO many things to swat
now that the fly doesn't come any
where near getting his share.
