RGTH ENDS OF GIGANTIC SEVEN.

ATTACK GERMAN ARMY.
Special to the independent.


PETROGRAD, March Is, p. m.-
An official statement made by the
war department here today says that
both ends of the Russian battle line,
seven hundred miles long, have at
tackled the Germans in Galicia and the
latter have been driven back for a
great distance. The Austrian fortress
OF Przemysl is still holding out against
the Russian attack but its fall can
only be the matter of a few days as
the garrison is known to be existing
on half rations and have been for
some time.
The losses of the Germans have
been frigktful during the last three
days while the Russian army has lost
comparatively few men ALI attempts
on the part Of the Austrian base to
relieve the garrison at Przemysl have
been frustra ted by the Russians and
the only communication between them
has been established by aeroplanes
which have been a great aid to the
garrison in the way of bringing in
medicines and information as to the
enemies position.

OF OCEAN TODAY.
Special to the independent.


LONDON, March 18.-News was re-
ceived here today that the German
cruiser Karlsruhe had been torpedoed
in mid-ocean by English vessels and
destroyed. The news was received
with great joy here as England Is
wrough up over the latest escapades
Of German submarines in DESTROYING
two English ships in the Irish sea
yesterday. Naval officials are point
ing to the fact that England will in
short time destroy the pride of the
Teuton navy and sweep the seas of
all German craft.
The Karlsruhe was one of the larg-
est and most powerful ships in the
German navy and was practically new.
She was built in 1914 and was one
of the fastest war ships afloat Her
loss, say officials here, will be felt
more by the Germans than any yet
caused by the sinking of one of their
ships.

United States against the blockade of
German ports has not been received

bottle blowers, this season. A settle
ment on last years wages has been
reached. The decision. was arrived at
BY representatives of the National

Association and representatives of the
Glass Bottle Blowers Association of
the United States and Canada at its
recent conference at Atlantic City af-
ter prolonged and tense joint sessions.
The representatives of the glass
blowers absolutely refused to consider
the proposed wage reduction of Is per
cent which was strongly urged by the
manufacturers. The workers also
succeeded in winning favorable de-
cision in the new apprentice question,
and as a result of the conference just
closed, no new apprentices will be ap-
pointed this season. These important
agreements apply to both blown and
machine departments.

The plight of China is Frequently
! attributed to lack of military prepar-
alton but those who make that asser-
ton do so without knowledge of the
facts. China has not always been I'M
prepared for war, so far as fortified
lions and "a military establishment
can be considered preparation.
After the war with Japan in 1895,
an, American missionary located in
Tokio-Reverend Chas. E. Garst of
Dayton, Ohio, showed the real cause
Of China's defeat That Mr.. Garst
was thoroughly competent to pass on
military questions may be realized
from the fact that he was a West
Point graduate who had served eight
years on the frontier. At the time OF
the war helhad spent twelve yearssin
Japan and had twice visited China
In a letter published in the Single
Tax Courtier of st. Louis Of May rs,
1895, Mr.. Garst said: d
AFTER the war with France, China
set to fortifying the coast, rivers,
etc., by building strong Notifications
at strategic points. such as the capes
commanding the bay of Pechii, the
sea route to Pekin. Heavy batteries
were planted. Fine war ships were
purchased. abroad and all preparations
were made after the most approved
pattern Of modern art. China's weak
ness did not SO much lay in her lack
of preparedness as in the demoraliza-
ton Of her people. ."
Then after telling the wonderful
changes that had taken place in ia
pan, while China stood still, how the
feudal lords had bee deposed, the ten
ant farmers made into owners. an
the people given voice in the gov
eminent, Mr. Garst. continued:
poor China, filled with corruption;
what had her people to fight for?
Tammany methds rule in China. : = :
The people have no rights. City lands
and houses are not taxed. Farm lands
in use are taxed small percent by
the government, but 5 0percent by the
landlords. Human rights are not
known. - Would.yo you, Mr.. Pluto
crat, fight for nothing? Here then is
the lesson for the United States to
learn from this war. The people who
have rights should maintain them. If
they have lost them, they ought to |
take possession again. Fill America
with happy homes and give the peo-
pie their rights to land and she is in !
without other preparation
for war; but with the dry rot not !.
driving the people from the land and
making citizens tramps, she viii be
weak like China. The in
