RuSSia's Crushing Defeat

+ any doubt has fingered as to the COM
pleteness of the defeat inflicted by the Aus
tro-German armies on the Russians in Galcia
"A doubt that had some justification in the
too-optimistic reports sent out of Petrograd-
1t has been removed by the announcement OF
the fall OF Przemysl. = The great Galician
fortress is in the hands of its Austrian owners.
According to the dispatches, the main
body of the Russian army is in full retreat
on Lemberg, with its victorious foes in hot
pursuit, hanging on its tanks and cutting off
parties Of stragglers. There is sound reason
TO believe that although the Russians may
be able to make Standard even
cessful stand-farther TO the east, their ca
pacity for sustained offensive on any con-
siderable scale has been shattered 1t will
be months before the Grand Duke Nicholas
will be able to push back again into enemy
territory.
The seriousness of the situation to the al
lies resides in the number of troops that will
be released for operations on the tia liam from
tier and the western theater of war. If Aus
trla Is relieved of the necessity Of combating
the Russian invasion, she may be able to
pour large forces through the Tyrol or the
Venetian plain into Italy. In that event, the
Italian armies invading Austria would
have opportunity to show their mettle Their
task would be rather different from the holi-
day jaunt on which they have been engaged.
AT the same time, Germany would be in
position to reinforce her weakened western
front, at which Joffre and French have been
nlObllng, with more or less success, for
months The German trenches are so strong
and SO we'll supported by artillery that the
allied forces, generally numerically superior
to the defenders have not made much head.
way. They would be able to do still less
indeed, they might have TO withstand a deter
mined onSlaught-should Germany find 1t
possible to transfer her army corps now in
Galicia to France and Belgium.
Because of the situation in the southeast,
the attitude of Roumania and Bulgaria gains
an added significance. They are said to un-
decided to act in unison. Roumania, it is re-
ported, is not content with the allies agree
ment that she shall retain all of Pennsylvania
her troops can occupy, but has demanded Of
Russia as the price of her participation, all
or part OF Ressarabia. This Is a rather
large order. Bessara ba is Of the richest
Russian provnces-at least potentialy-with
several rather important cities, including
klshinev and Alderman. and "A mixed popula-
ton OF nearly 100000, which includes a
considerable element of Roumanians Its
Black Sea coast would add greatly to Rou-
mania's Importance.
Russia may think she has already paid a
sufficiently large share OF the cost of the war
and is quite certain to object to giving Bess-
arabia, or any part of that province, to Rou-
mania or any other country She wants it
for herself. The entrance of Roumania and
Bulgaria into the war is of such importance
TO the allies, however, they will do what
they can TO bring it about.

IDENTIFYING PRECIOUS STONES
One OF the Days Best Cartoons.

only the continuous spectrum Ia shown
with Its colors ranging from red
through orange. yellow. green and blue
to violet; but II the specimen Is colored
by the presence OF certain chemical
elements or dyes. light Of some color
will be absorbed by IT, and one or more
dark bands will appear in the spec
trum where the eliminated color would
ordinarily be. The positions and mum
bers OF these bands are highly charac-
teristic OF certain substances. and there
fore serve TO identify gems and min
erals colored by these substances The
location OF the bands is found by the
use OF very timely divided scale with

The ruby owes its color to the pres.
cnce OF small amount of an oxide Of
chromium. and when combined in this
form and examined as described above
that element shows black band to-
ward the extreme red end of the spec-
trum. separated from the invisible re-

Synthetic rubics, which arc Identical
with the natural ones In every respect,
also show this type of spectrum. Sut
tho bits of red glass. which owe their
color TO copper or gold or to the rare
element selenium. SO often cut and sold
az rubics, do not chow this type OF
spectrum and can Al once be detected
Sapphires can also be positively iden-
tined by this same method only here
the behavior is reversed: true sapphires
show no absorption bands. but a clear
spectrum. while their blue glass imi-
tations have several strong bands re-
placing the colors eliminated from the
spectrum. This method has also proved
valuable In the identification OF many
transparent or fairly translucent preci-
Gus stones. including the emerald, gar
net. tourmaline. turquoise, beryl and
topaz. Considering the fact that it can
be applied without even removing them
from their settings in rings and pins,
this method proves Of great practical
service and value.

WASHINGTON. June 3-The min
eralogist is frequently confronted with
the problems OF Identifying and valuing
precious stones. for although an cx-
perienced dealer may be able to tell
the gcnuincncss of a gem at sight. sci
entihc tests are frequently necessary
to make certain.
When large quantity OF a mineral
in available, various chemical tests may
be applied. but when a single cut stone
is presented for Identification. chemi-
calls may not be used. Dependence is
then placed on physical tests which do
not affect the material in any way.
Two of these tests are hardness or
resistance to scratching, and specific
gravity or bcaviness with reference to
water. Even these, however, are some
times not applicable, and the optical
properties must be treated These In
clude color. effect on rolarized light,
and the index Of refraction One or
another Of these methods is applca BILE
in practically every case, but II is rarely
wise To depend on single test: the
more ways in which a conclusion can
be reached, the more certain il Is likely
to be.

tor Of the division OF mineralogy and
