Petrograd, Sept 25.- Re-capture of
Pinsk and Dubno fortress by the Rus
sians was predicted officially today.
With the Russians making new gains in
Che face of the German assaults, and
Field Marshal Won Mackensen hard
pressed about Pinsk, this may result at
an early moment.
Won Mackensen's left wing retired
five miles under Russian pressure, while
the Slavs retook Logishin. In this
struggle, the Russians sabred the Teu-
tonic gunners and captured some of
their artillery. At the same time they
Inflicted heavy losses on the Germans
east of Logishin.
Meantime Won Aackensens s right
wing is floundering in the marshes to
the south of Pinsk. The Russians
crossed the Jassi river a few miles
east Of Pinsk. Theirs we Germans suf-
fered severe reveTses and were forced
to abandon many guns.
The Austrian forces in the Volhynian
triangle have been unable to stop the
!5lav onrush. Recapture of Lutsk with
capture of 1000 Teurons was official
iy confirmed today. The enemy is head
ing toward Dubno which cannot be de.
tended from the north.
Concerning the Lutsk operations, the
official statement said:
Operations of our troops in the
Lutsk region were partly. successful.
Wednesday night they attacked and
carried enemy positions near the vii
iages of Lipovetz and Neboshka, north
of Lutsk, capturing according to a
preliminary estimate, 80 officers and
1000 men with macnine guns, field
kitchens and transports.
Thursday morning Lutsk was in our
bands. The evening of the same day our
troops captured the villages of Podga-
itzy and Kroupy. Many Magyars were
killed in bayonet action"
Battles for Dvinsk and along the
.Dwina continue unabated. Russians
are maintaining their positions despite
heavy attacks.
In many places about Dvinsk, saiG
the statement, the Germans are employ
ing "gusts of fire." and making !" fu
rious attacks"
Capture of Strigge, claimed by Ber
lin, was denied in the last officia
statement.
Everywhere is manifest a growing
atrength on the part of the hitherto
beaten Slavs, while the Teutons former
ly dashing forward almost unhindered
are now on the defensive in severa
points and are making but slight pro
eress in others.

Tenth Anniversary of Flying. Waterbury Republican,

Ten years ago man began to fly.
 It was at Kitty Hawk, N. C., on Dec. 17, 1905, that the Wrights flew their first practical biplane for a distance of 500 feet, the flight lasting fifty nine seconds. It was after five years of experimenting that they solved the problem on which SO many pioneers had been working. During that year, they made forty-five flights, in the longest of which they remained in the air an hour and covered a little less than twenty-five miles. Three years more elapsed before they made their achievement public and it was not until 1908 that Orville Wright at Washington and Wilbur Wright in Europe showed the world the first heavier than air machines in actual flight
 Men of greater scientific attain ments had tried to reach the same end. As Glen Curtisss recent demon stration with the old Langley flying r1achine proved, one of them had succeeded but did not know it-died, in fact, a broken hearted and disap- pointed man. But the patience and the unschooled experimental genius of these two young Americans enabled
 
 repair shop at Dayton the machine the world had been waiting for. Euro pean countries, with military pur- poses in view, had been spending fortunes backing scientists and placing every known facility at their disposal, but the obscure and unfriended Wright brothers got there first. It i;: an inspiring story.
 Probably most of us in the peace full Americans did not realize to the full until September 1914, the mili- tary importance of the aeroplane. They knew in Europe that the human eye of the great eagle that first scared at Kitty Hawk would change the strategy of war. France readily jumped at the invention and paid the Wrights a large sum of money for the rights. The French had been working CT dirigibes and aeroplanes for sev- eral years with indifferent success. Thereafter they developed the aero plane. The Germans put their money mostly into Zeppelins. Events seem to have proved that the French, as usual in these matters were right

Since then certain circum" " stances have come to light that makes us doubt whether we had enough fact blended with fiction to class the state 1nent as purely scientific.

but never expects to see advanced as the actual accomplishments of science. If its chief accomplishment of far-off destruction is an actual achievement the defense of any coast against foreign invasion would be ab- solute, and we do not see why the same device should not be effective on land against Notifications or against heavy artillery in the field. Nothing we believe has yet been invented that survived the stroke of lightning, unr scathed, and as this new invention is harnessing and directing the thunder bolt" something is sure to happen where it hits.
 Arranged on an aeroplane with automatic machinery to direct it's flight and operation, it would be a terribly effective weapon of offense as we'll as defense, and, indeed, these seems to be little limit to what it could be made to do. Definite par ticulars are wanting as to just the nature of this new power and we have used the thunderbolt as perhaps its nearest example and next of kin. It is electrical, we understand but with far more of destructive force under direct and peculiar long distance control than anything of the kind ever before known.

Walking Under Ladders.
(Waterbury Democrat.)

In an attack upon the silly super stitions that prevail even in this hard-headed day, the statement was made that it would be worth paying a man a dollar an hour for walking back and forth under a ladder just to prove that the superstition was silly and groundless. Of all the superstitions that might have been singled out for contempt this seems the least offensive. Not to walk un- der ladder is a mere matter of common sense, particularly if there is some one on the ladder. Of course the simple act of walking under a ladder is not going to bring death and disaster in it's wake. But there g every practical danger of a bucket of paint upsetting on the head of the person so lacking in judgement as 10 place himself under it. Bricks. shingles and tools have been known to fall from workingmen's hands and hit the innocent pedestrian. And there is the more serious danger that the passer by may bump the ladder

Washington, D. C., Dec. 21.-
 While the arts and sciences have lan-
 gu1shed under the sultan's rule; while
 the technology of thousand years age is still widely employed in supply Ing the wants of the Turkish popu-
 lace; while all social progress has
 been left too largely to the unhurried
 care of Fate, the Ottoman empire has, nevertheless, produced one creative
 genius, the Khoja of Aqshehir, the
 renowned humorist around t whose name all the fun of nation has
 gathered" begins a bulletin issued today by the National Geographic so- ciety, which tells of the great man
 born, nurtured, and buried in Aqshe- h1r five centuries ago. The bulletin continues:
 "Khoja Nasr ed-Din was an Imam, sort of Mohamm edan country par son, a naive, illiterate, happy-go- lucky fellow, part clown. part gentle philosopher, and altogether thorough ly comical and human The reason of the 'khoja's existence was his legion of funny adventures. He was a re- missprist a shiftless citizen. and an
 exasperating husband. His native town lies about no miles from
 Konia, in Asia Minor, and is situated picturesquely in the mountains. Here is his grave, where his body reposes and the lock of his house, which he in sisted upon taking with him.
 "Khoja was a contemporary of | Tamerlane's, and served the conquer l or as a privileged court jester. Now the Khoja is a saint to people of his 1 town and his grave works miracles. The stories told of the Khoja are with l out number; they are the humor of 1 Turkey and the legacy of the oldcn 1 fun master.

 It only shows what can be done in the way of cooperation. A man is 1 pressed for time. Straight way he | hies himself to the barber shop.

Tesla's New Wonder.
Bridgeport Standard.)

The imaginings of Jules Verne and the more recent development of scientific possibilities in fiction by H. G. Wells, are quite outdone by what is said to be the invention or dis covery by Nikola Tesla of a method of sending out thunder-bolts, or their equivalent, controlling them from the point of departure and ddscharging them at will at any distance re- uuired and against any desired ob- iective A battleship 40 miles away can be paralyzed or destroyed at will by this new machine, which seems to be an enlargement of, or a develop ment from, the other device by which a boat bearing a torpedo could be di- rected from the shore against a shin a long distance from land and made to discharge its load automatically and effectively.
 The stories of the new Tesla ma- chine are such as one hears of in the romancings of the highly imaginative.

The Joy of the Job.
Springfield Republican. !

In the amazement expressed at the lar college president in order to re turn as a professor to scientific work we have striking illustration of tho growing dominance of the executive function. Possibly the tendency il~. Illustrates what German philosophers call the twill to power" Perhaps it is natural consequence of modern collectivism. At all events We see everywhere, and even ir~.the most in appropriate places, the growth of tae feeling that it is better to "boss the job' than to be a worker.
 Many man who has risen to re- sponsible office knows in his hea Tt that he would be happier and quite as usefully employed at his old job, doing things instead of watching others do them. To make the most of both functions is the great test of society, and America in particular needs to take care to encourage thinkers, students, inventors, scientific investigators. men of learning and of genius, as well as the men who have the more conspicuous but no more important work of directing others. The great danger in the worship of success is that success may be wrongly identified with conspiCu- ousness or with money reward. IL is well sometimes to have the emphasis put on the work itself; the man who is entirely absorbed in his work would not trade jobs with a king or a kaiser.
