Sidelights on the European War

Odessa, Russia - Correspondence
Of The Associated PressD-The en-
peror's trip to southern Russia. the
latest of the remarkable series Of
journeys which the Russian ruler has
been making into various parts of his
empire in a democratic effort TO get
closer in touch with his people, was
complete success.
The emperor drove through streets
lined with cheering crowds. He wore
a simple service uniform. with the
khali-colored blouse of a Russian off,
Ger OF ordinary rank. He rode in an
automobile, attended by single
aide. During his progress across the
city he threw etiquette and tradition
10 the winds and stood UP in his car,
hat in hand, bowling and smiling to
the cheering crowds.
In a central square the emperor
stepped out Of his automobile and in
spected the local troops. It was per-
functory ceremony. At a brisk pace
he walked along the entire front
stopping now and then TO exchange
a word with one Of the privates. Then
he walked back thoughtfuIly TO the
center Of the line and made a brief ex-
tempore speech. 1t was without ora
torical embroidery. simply worded
and matter-of-fact in delivery, but
wonderfully effective. He reviewed
the history OF the war. reminded the
men OF Russia's glorious past and
spoke of the splendid deeds OF the ar
my in the present campaigns.
do as your brothers have done"
he said in closing. DO as they have
done on the battlehelds of East Prus-
STA, Galicia and Bukowina. God will
watch over you, and Russia will re-
member you
These was absolute silence for full
minute after he had finished. Then
the silence was broken by the crash
Long live the emperor! Long live
the little fatheri"
During his visit the emperor had an
opportunity TO show his mastery Of
English. The British consul-general,
accompanied by delegation OF Eng
lish residents, presented their con-
gratulations, expressing on behalf of
England admiration and appreciation
OF the Russian army's work. The en-
peror replied in English:
81 thank you sincerely for what you
have said. We do not forget how
much we in Russia owe 10 the brave
English and French We are now on
the high road 10 victory. and with the
aid OF the allies, the common cause
shall speedily triumph"
Some idea of the manner in which
the emperor's trips through the coun-I
try aim to reach the workmen and
common people may be gained from
an account of his visit to the Briansk
factory at Bixjitza- The whole work
ing population. numbering nearly 49,
900, turned out to meet him, and a
delegation consisting OF workmen who
have been employed in the factory for
at least 20 years, presented him with
bread and salt. the traditional en-
blems of hospitality.

(Reply 10 Otto, Milt and Becke.)
Oh. you little jitney bus,
You are IN an awful "muss;"
Praised by some. by others cussed,
Saying you are all unjust.
II IS hard TO wear your shoes
And TO take so much abuse:
Take friends word and cheer up
And II need be drink the cup.
After awhile. dear iitney car.
They will find out what you are;
Critics then will play your card.
Apologize. and beg your 'pard."

Correspondence of The
Associated Press THE Turkish
ministry Of war places the total Of
men under arms at present ar 1922
600.
More conservative estimates. IN Com
stantinople give the number as about
500 coo. This includes POO 900 Christ
ians who are being used for digging
trenches and building railways, roads
and bridges.
The actual fighting men are divided
into five armies. The first, encamped
at Adrian0ple and around Constants
nople under Won der Colt. is said 10
be about 100000 strong. The second,
under Djemal Pasha, aims az Esyp-
with 10000 men The third is iocat-
ed around Bagdad with $4,000 Inc
fourth. in the Caucasus. numbers 49,
OO0. while the fifth, estimated OF some
thing over 100 goo is operating in the
vicinity OF the DardanelLes-
Probably the best equipped troops
are gathered around Coustantinople'
which is also admirably defended oy
concentric rings Of up-to-date forth
cations. An excellent battery Ha9
been placed in position Immediately
below the mosque of 81. Sophia.
Although the German advisers OF
the government have taken over prac-
teal command of military affairs, they
make no attempt to NEEDLE IN ponce
and civil matters. The press censor
ship. for example. is under Turkish
auspices. and correspondents, even
from Germany. are handled ruthlessly.
Thus the correspondents Of the
Cologne Zeitung and the Deutcness
Armee Zeitung have been informed d.
Konia, the correspondent OF the Neus
Freie Presse has been condemned 10
years Imprisonment. and the repre-
sentative of the Berlin Tageblatt mas
been expelled.
