The Minneapolis Journal is long
WAYS from the seaboard, but it is still
attacking the seamen's act. We take
the liberty to say that the new law is
one of the finest pieces of legislation
ever passed by an American congress.
That it was passed at all, with the
tremendous power of the shipping trust
and allied interests against it, is
marvellous. We don't believe Wood
row Wilson would have signed it if it
were as bad as the journal makes out
It will enable seamen to receive de-
cent wages, and to be treated as HUI
man beings, not as slaves; it will en-
force sanitary and humanitarian regu-
lations: it will compel the utmost care
for safety of Passengers. What fair
minded citizen can object to this?

The Review Of Reviews is considered
impartial. Its view Of the Bryan res
ignation is of interest. In the first
place, referring to the general situa-
ton, it says: "The most sickening
thing in American history, perhaps,
was the reckless gloating Of American
newspapers over a dangerous situation
that they were doing everything in
their power to create.'' Its criticism
Of the metropolitan press is very
strong, and it is merited. It makes the
direct charge that the daily press
seemed intent on getting the country
into war. It agrees with Bryan that
Americans ought not to take Joy rides
on ships carrying ammunition under a
belligerent flag. It takes the letters
which passed between the president
and Bryan as sincere. It further saws,
which will surprise those who rely on
the Twin City dailies for information,
that Bryan stood high in the confidence
of the cabinet and that he was highly
regarded by the foreign diplomats.
While believing that he was not in his
right place as secretary, it says the
newspaper attacks did not represent
the point of view of those most con.
cerned. It. says that Bryan's talks
since resigning have been eminently
wise and sensible. It also scouts the
idea that Bryan intends tor oppose the
president politically.

idea. Citizenship means good deal,

the foreign born. If Minneapolis, how
ever, will make and keep itself clean

if it will rebuke corruption in high

.SLAVS CHECK TEUTON DRIVE
HALT AUS7RO-GERMAN ADVANCE
TOWARD LUBLIN RAILWAY.
Strong Russian Re-enforcements A..
rive and Cars Troops Inf'ict
Heavy Losses on Invaders.

London, July 8.-By the employ
meut of strong re-enforcements, the
Russians, temporarily at least, have
checked the Austro-German advance
toward the Lublin railway, which, II
successful, would imperil Warsaw. The
Russians claim to have inflicted seri-
| Gus defeat on the Austro-German army
in the region of Krasnik, south of
that railway, while the Austrians state
participation of strong Russian re-
serves.
S'avs Have ADVANTAGE.
So far as communications are con-
cerned the Russians now have the adj
vantage of positions as they have a
splendid system of railways behind
them on which they can quickly move
troops and guns to the threatened
areas. This battle, one of the many
since the Austro-Germans commenced
their drive through Galicia, has only
just commenced, but according to dis
patches received in Geneva from Aus
trian sources the Russians have thus
far had the best Of it and since Monday
have Inflicted very heavy losses On
the invaders. These dispatches state
that thousands of wounded are con-
tinually arriving in Lemberg, Przemysl
and Jaroslau.
Germans Win Trenches in West.
The much heralded German en-
slaught in the west has thus far been
confined to the Woevre region, where
the army of the German crown prince
is on the offensive and making efforts
to regain the ground which it lost to
the French in April, when the latter
attempted to force the withdrawal of
what is known as the St. Mihiel wedge.
The Germans have won some trenches
at the tip of the wedge, but At other
points, according to French accounts,
they were repulsed with heavy losses.
Artillery combats continue from
Arras to the sea and it was stated
that as a result of German lombard
ment Arras is in flames and its cathe-
dral destroyed. The Germans also
claim to have retaken the trenches
which they lost to the British north
of Ypres. However, the fighting here
appears to be desultory, despite re-
ports from Holland of the arrival of
large German achievements for an
other effort to reach Calais.
