RUSSIAN MINISTRY DENIES
RUMORS OF PEACE PLANS

London. Aug. 30.-As. the Russian
armies continue to retreat, the foreign
and war ministries at ~l'etrograd deny
vigorously that their government has
any thought of making a separate
peace with the central powers. Spe-
cial dispatches from Patrograd state
that the Russians are on the point Of
digging themselves in.
Military writer's at the Russian cap
ftal are of the opinion that the Ger
man turning movement in Courland
Is not likely to threaten Petrograd Sc
riously this autumn, as Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg apparently has made
no progress in his efforts to secure
control of the Baltic coast. The latest
news from that region, however, in
dicates that Germany has not given
up the plan for naval cooperation to-
ward this end. Berlin reports that
German warships bombarded at two
points Dago island, which commands
the entrance to the Gulf of Finland.
The Russian foreign minister, M.
Sazonoff. declares emphatically that
there is no disagreement among the
allied commanders and h a while q
German soldier remain on Russian
soil there can be no peace.
The greater interest is displayed here
In reports from Washington of the ne
gotiations between the United States
and Germany concerning the Arabic
incident. Most of the newspapers con-
slider that President Wilson has won q
diplomatic success. the effect Of which
on the whole question of submarine
warfare Is certain to be momentous.
Notwithstanding the orders of theil
leaders, 1000 more Welsh miners nave
quit work. The ACCESSIBILITY of gov

OTHER PAPERS OPINION.


Ii may be asserted that robbery is not,
in the nature of things, a capital offense
but when it grows 50 common and So Ian
gerous that moderate punishment and
and actually tend to render burglary and
robbery more and more alarming, the
question j. whether it is not proper as well
as necessary to meet the danger with
methods and punishments sufficient to stop
the crime. Rarely a night passes during
which some worthy citizen is not murdered
by burglars or robbers. The state of Ok
lahoma has suffered numerous and grieyous
losses at the hands of these criminals
during the last summer, and it is un-
doubtedly growing worse in other states.
Why should such murderers, caught in the
act, be parleyed with, compromised in the
court honses, and finally liberated to rob
and burn and murder again? There il no
reason that this danger should not be met
promptly and in the most effective and i'm
pressive manner; no reason that the au-
thorities, through the courts, should not
do all that it is necessary to do in order
to put down this class Of criminals for
good and all. There are many reasons
that sufficient lawful protection should be
afforded the citizen ut this point, and one
main reason is that, unless the robbers are
put down by law, friends and relatives who
sympathize with the victims are going to
find relief, protection and revenge in an
other way. Lynch law should never be
made excusable or rendered necessary.
But the law abiding people of this country
are not going to be victimized by burglars,
robbers, murderers and the failures Of
courts.-Galveston News.
