5arbed Wire Four Miles Deep HoIds
 Ruanfan AdVaoca


 Russian Advance.
 This is a wire war. The Denver Post correspondent has learned fropa Russian officers some of the reasons why Russia has been held back by the Germans, why It is that with ap- parentiy unnumbeTed men the Rus slams have been unable to proceed
 Take as Q concrete example what is called the Warsaw frout-that is 10 say, the stretch of country some thirty miles from Warsaw lying along the little Rivers Bzura and Ravl<a- where the two armies have been facing each other ever since November last. To defend this forty-mile stretch would by the old method require from six to eight army corps.
 At present tfre are here nothing like that number of troops The dis trict has been drained of men. There were left for its defense not more probably than a few thousand to every i've or six miles of front. But these few thousand were provided with very large quantity of machine guns, and they are disposed among barbed wire entangiements four miles deep. Along pretty well the whole of this front, then, there Is an almost insupeT- | able hindrance to the Russian advance. For consider what four miles of barbed wire defenses must mean. Of course, l there is not wire over the entire region. That would be unthinkabie. But the entanglenents are so arranged that | they, in a military sense, "cover" the | whole front, and behind every en- | tang1ement are a few men with ma | chine guns ready to sweep away any stormers who should be ordered to the attack of their fortified position. Even | if general were to nerve himself to | such a sacrifice of men, 1t is doubt full whether he would succeed in clear ing the enemy out. Imagine what 1t means to wade through wire criss- wire hedges several rows deep, to climb over wire walls six feet high, l all In the face of an unceasink fire from the murderoug machine gun. To get through a few such obstacles de- | mands the utmost determination. Im- agine four miles of themi One after the other for four milesl
 Wire and machine gunsi A formid- able combination. Not new. but never employed, nor even thought about, on | such a scale as the Germans are now | employing them. By the aid of this | combination a regiment can be en- trusted with task which 1t would | formerly have taken a division to &C., once would have taxed the resources of an army. Here is the explanation | of the German superiority in numbers. | By virtue of this combination used so | plentifui1y, they have always men to spare, and since they have also the means to carry them wherever they are wanted they can always, for a time at all events. outnumber the Rus sian. There are factories working day and night in Germany turning out endless miles of barbed wire.

ShOHld Be Cheap.

Chill is complaining of hard
times on account of her trade
with Germany having been cut
off. German farmers are said to
be the greatest users of nitrate
of soda in the world, and Chill is
dependent largely upon the sale
of this nitrate for revenue. 1t is
from this source that nearly all
the nitrogen of commerce comes.
Nitrogen is the costly ingredient
in commercial fertilizers. AS it
comes to US from the mines, it is
about Is per cent. pure. and at
one time, sold for about $4,000 a
ton. But of late years, the price
has dropped to $4,000 or $4,000.
1t occurs to US that this would
be a good time for Americans to
lay in a good supply at very low
prices. One lone farmer could
do little to secure low prices, but
if we had a strong County organ
ization, with a good manager at
the head of it, we have no doubt
that a good supply of this won
der-working plant food would
find its way to hungry soils
of our county, at very low cost.
