1SO,OOO,OOO RUSSIANS ON

In the May American Magazine
Captain Granville Fortescue writes
an article entitled, Battling 70 r
Warsaw" 1t is an account of the
great war on the eastern frontier Of
Germany. Following is an extract:
When Russia went to war the
Gar with a stroke of his pen put one
hundred and eighty million people
on the water wagon. And, believe
me. this water wagon 'ikon' is no
bluff. 1t is harder to get drink in
Russia to-day than it is at Lake Mo-
honk. How wise was this edict of
the ruler Of Russia is now shown In
the condition of his army. Their
fighting effectiveness is higher than
that Of the French and fully equal to
the English, measured by the physical
fitness of the units composing the
forces. On the other hand. the German
soldiers nearly all carry TASKS Of
whisky or other spirits. Irvan the
S berian knows this. and l fear that
the famous edict is sometimes brok.

PARIS, Jun. 10.---A story printed here
Of n peculiar incident at Brussels re-
Gently Is attracting much comment and
considerable amusement.
Two German officers were dining in u
restaurant In the Belgian capital. At
the adjoining table were two men con
versing in English. Tho German Of
Acers showed signs Of displeasure Ut the
use Of English by their ncighbors. but
the latter took no notice of the annoy.
ance Of the Germans and continued
their talk. -.
Finally the Germans could stand 1t no
longer and one of the officers arose and
approaching the table at which the
strangers were sitting said: II will be
obliged IL you will stop talking IN Eng
llsh; II displeases and annoys me.
Ono Of the men thereupon asked the
officer for his card and held out his
own. Tho officer looked at the card,
drew himself up. clicked his heels to-
gethcr. salutcd and rnurmured his ex-
cuses.

Peace was found to have its priva-

delegates to the Woman's Movement for
Constructive Peace went without their
lunch In order that they might COM
plete their platform before the final

noon at 3 o'clock.
Miss Jane Addams, Mrs. Carrie Chap

International fame, forgot the pangs
of hunger while they discussed meas
ure on which a concerted movement for
peace might be based.
No serious differences arose between
the delegates to prolong the meeting,
and the chief difficulty was to con-
dense the many tentative planks Sc
that the finished document would not
be cumbersome.

the principal event of the peace con.

PARIS, Jan. lQ-Not since tho Ger
mans were approaching Paris has the
capital been so interested as 1t is now.
Tho reason is the struggle for the "lost

rmed hero of. the present war. Is con-
testing for control Of Upper Alsace and
the "gatewhy TO the Rhine"
Tho Alsacc campaign Is rapidly as
suming the utmost importance in the
eyes Of the French. Excluding the deep
sentiment that Is felt In this connec-
ton It is admitted that success there
will quickly advance the clearing OF
France and Belgium Of Germans. 1t is
because OF this knowledge that General
Jotfre. the t're1ch chief, has given Gen
o-al Pau all the men he can use. The
uymies heretofore held in reserve at
| Nancy. Tcul and Belfolt are now IN
| action.
1t is winter campaigning with venge-
ance. The wooded hills and mountain
