WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.
By ]. w. T. Mason.

(Written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, June 19.-The re-
treat of the Russians from southern
| Galacia into Bessarabia may eventual
ly prove to be the beginning Of one
of the turning points of the war.
The conquest of Bessarabia is evident
ly being planned by the Teutonic al
lies as their next step after the
freeing of Galacia; and on the sue
cess of this new offensive may hang
the final attitude of the Balkan ma
tions toward the war.
Bessarabia is one of Russia's bor-
der provinces. 1t forms the eastern
boundary of Rumania. One-half of
the population is Rumanian. The rest
of the people are of various races,
and include many German agricul-
turists. Rumania wants to annex
Bassarabia and has demanded the
province from Russia as part of her
price for entering the war on the side
of the allies. The szar, however, is
reluctant to part with any of his ter
ritaory, and Rumania's claims have
not been accepted at Petrograd.
If. however, the Austro- Germans
demonstrate an ability to overrun
Bessarabia as may possibly happen
during the coming summer, any one
of three results might happen, capable
of exerting important influence on the
future of the war. After conquer
ing Bessarabia, the Teautons might
offer it to Rumania in exchange for
Rumania's benevolent neutrality dur
ing the remainder of the war.
A second possibility is that before
Bessarabia passes into the possession
Of the Teutons to do with it as they
like, Russia herself may offer it to
Rumania, fearing that any way its
loss to the slavs had become a pos
sibility.
The third and most serious possibil-
| ity of all, is that Russia might agree
to a separate peace with Austria and
Germany rather than part with Bes-
sarabia at all. The Teutonic allies
would be willing to guarantee the in
tegrity of the Russian empire if the
car were to agree to withdraw from
the war.
Petrograd would be tempted from
the western allies, if the Constanti-
nople campaign continued to show
disappointing results. Under these
circumstances, therefore, to carry the
war into Bessarabia must become a
part of Germany's major strategy.

The degradation of congress in these
later days of the new freedom" has
been made the subject of comment by
a writer in LaFollette's Magazine,
who points out that the Democratic
machine which dominated the house ir
the sixty-third congress was the worst
ever. And then he goes on to show
that "the lower branch of congress
has descended to the shoes soled
while you wait level in legislation
1t is all done by few leaders,"

Those industrious agents of the
present national administration who
are so Jealous in proclaiming the res
torution of good times should adhere
to facts. The placing of a few or
ders for railroad cars and locomotives
seems to have thrown them into such
an ecstacy Of joy that they blind
themselves to the actual situation as
shown by comparisons. The Boston
News bureau points out that in the
first four months of 1914 the rail-
roads bought II 900 cars and 476 loco
motives, while in the same period of
the present year they bought only
lO,47 cars and 224 locomotives. This
shows the kind of revival of busi-
ness we are enjoying as basis for
all the shouting of the defenders of the
Democratic regime.

WOUNDS OF TWO WARS.

Under the above caption, the New
York Evining Sun quotes from a
writer in the New York Medical
Journal to show how speedily the
wounded of this war recover, and
what large percentage, as compared
with those in the Civil war. Surgery
has made marvellous progress in the
past fifty years, and the steel-jaeket-
ed bullet of today makes a small clean
wound, much less deadly than the
large-caliber muskest of the Civil war
period. Antiseptics have done won
ders in reducing gangrene and other
deadly results from the Jagged
wounds of shell and shrapnel and the
percentage of the wounded who recov-
er may be assumed to be larger than
in any previous war. The surgeon
and his aid, the nurse, are angels
of mercy among the reek of battle
now as never before. Indeed, Civil
war surgeon, in the light Of the later
learning says many of the wounded
recovered in spite of the treatment
rendered, rather than because of it,
frank confession from one who did
his best but has learned since it
wasn't very good.
And yet Europe is staging today the
deadliest war of all time. The sur
geons have done their best, which has
been good and satiation has lessen
ed loss of life through such sickness
as follows an army, and formerly
was counted more deadly than bull
lets. But these agencies Of prevenz.
ton and healing haven't been able
to keep pace with those who have
made killing science, and the war
lords who have made of war ma
ton under arms. Never before have
such forces clashed, and never before
have they possessed such engines of
destruction of the armies of the pow
ers now engaged in the death grap-
pie. The wounds of the war may be
less terrible, and the chances of heal
ing better, but there will be more
wounded and more dead, and the
chances of coming through unscratch-
ed are probably less than in the old
days. War really isn't possessed of
all its old evils, but it has brought
many new ones, so many that peace
should be jealously guarded.
Semi-weekly herald., 1915-06-24

We have had no war when shot
and shell have been in evidence in this
country, but in the last five or six
years every state in the Union and
the nation as whole has suffered
finincial losses amounting to more
than the cost of the European war
through freak legislation, and the end
is not yet in sight. Property val
ues have decreased from 20 to SO per
cent throughout the United States and
it is almost impossible to obtain a
dollar for public affairs, and it is the
common people who are responsible
for these conditions. They have clam
mored for reform for SO long that as
stated above the values have shrun-
ken billions of dollars and the COM
mon people who have brought this
about are the principal sufferers.
These are not idle statements but are
cold. solid facts.
