Optimism is Felt Over Turn
of Events in the Last
Few Days.
TEUTONS FLANK IS WEAK
Little Danger Now Of Cars
Army Being Bottled Up
by Invaders.
CBy Associated Press,

PETROGRAD, via London, Aug. IS.
The military situation is viewed by
Russian army officers with degree
of optimism owing to the manner IN
which the Germans have been checked
at the crossing OF the rivers Liewiec
and Kyzna east OF the Siedlce-Lukow
front. where the invaders lost 500 pris-
oners in addition TO the heavy toll OF
dead and wounded.
Confidence is felt here that the Rus.
SLAMS will be able to make any further
eastward progress Of the invaders
very costly to them. Fierce battles
are looked for in the district between
the Surec and Narew rivers and at the
crossings Of the Bug. The INN ediate
German objective is believed TO be the
double track railroad which roughly
parallels the fighting line. This road
is protected by dense forests and. by
the marshes Of the region of the up
per Narew.
The apparent weakness Of the Ger.
man flank has removed fear that the
Russian army would be bottled up.
Russian military critics find it difficult
to reconcile this evidence OF weakness
with the German claims to undimin-
ished strength.

to conclude because a man shows
genius in one direction that his judg-
is of value on every question
under the sun. Notwithstanding this
evident fact, there is often great
curiosity to know what men who have
distinguished themselves in various
fields think on questions far removed
from their specialties, and sometimes
men justly eminent in their own calling
present themselves in an unfavorable
light when some persuasive reporter ex-
tracts from them an ill-considered
opinion on a question about which they
have no special knowledge.
Some time ago Thomas A. Edison
made some superficial remarks about
education, which were interesting only
as illustrating how unwise a great
genius could be when he left his own
province. More recently Henry Ford
has provoked establishment by maintain
ing that future generations in the
countries now at war would be justified
in repudiating the national debts &C.
casioned by the great conflict. Mr..
Ford's judgment on that matter is no
more sound because of his marvellous
success in the manufacture of automo-
biles. That he is a genius in mechanical
invention, in the organization of a man.
ufacturing plant and in the marketing
of its product, does not make him a
wise public economist. AS a matter of
fact, reputation of a public debt, no
matter for what purpose it was incurred,
s the extreme of folly for any people.
1t effects the credit of every community
and of every business and individual,
and that for many years afterwards.
The bonds of towns in Vermont and
Massachusetts bring a higher price to-
day than obligations of similar com
munities in some of the southern States
because of the bad record of the latter
States in repudiating their public debts
after the Civil war. A similar sentiment
attaches to the commercial paper of cor
porations and individuals of the respect
i've regions. The maintenance of a
nations credit is of utmost importance
f that nation is ambitious for any part
of the m and trade of the
world.
