of the wheels in the machinery which
Soukhomlinoff had built up.
The generalissimo, the Grand Duke
Nicholas, received the congratulations
from Russia's allies for that splendid
feat of mobilization. He likewise re-
ceived all the praise for the strategy
which produced the early successes, as
well as praise for the heroic sacrifices

to country which characterized them
But if General Soukhomlinof Eust
now shoulder all the censure for the
unhappy experiences of his army he
must logically receive something of the
laudation which the army earned a
few months ago.
The army which was placed in the
field by Soukhomlinoff astonished the
world in general and surprised ever
the military experts from other coun-
tries who had attended recent maneu
vers in Russia. Aeroplanes. railways,
guns, every latter day development In

and were ready for use. Nothing had

the most important of the reforms by
which the Russian military was regen-
Grated. was likewise consistently ad-
vocated by the minister of war, al
though he was not able to behold its
realization until his men were started
on active service.
Not only has Soukhomlinof been rec
ognized as a great general. but he has
won further distinction as a military
author. His "Life of Murat" Is a
classic In military biography. and he
has made two notable additions to the
science of war by his books Sword

Soukhomlinoff Is the principal creator
of the modern Russian army. Its re-
cent abandonment of the fruits of
dearly bought victories tn Galicia, by
which the Teutonic armies regained
Przemysi and Lemberg, was due In
part to a shortage Of ammunition, for
which Soukhomlinon was o held to
blame.
Winning his spurs and a golden sword
at Plevna In 1877, when the combined
Russian Roumanian army captured that
almost impregnable fortress from the
Turks, General Soukhomlinoh never
theless had to work his way up to the
position of minister of war by slow
and laborious processes. He was sixty

cabinet in 1908. His orders were to

CHICAGOs GREAT DISASTER

A coroner's jury has returned a
verdict placing the blame for the loss
of over 1000 lives by the capsiz-
ing of the steamer Eastland in the
Chicago river last Saturday on six
men: William H. Hull, general man.
ager of the Chicago-St. Joseph
Steamship Company, owner of the
Eastland; Captain Harry Uedersen
of the Eastland; j. M. Erickson, en-
gineer; Robert Reid, federal inspect
or of steamships, who gave the East
land license to carry $500 passengers
July 2; j. C. Eckliff, federal inspect
or of steamships; W. K. Greenebaum,
general manager of the Indiana
transportation Company, lessee of
the Eastland.
The jury recommended that these
men be held to a grand jury for in
dictment on charges of manslaughter
Passengers Not to Blame
The jury found that the passengers
we're not in any way to blame for
the capsizing of the ship. 1t recon-
mends further investigation by the
coroner and other officers to deter
mine whether the men named and
others be guilty of negligence or OF
contributing in any way to the cause
of the disaster.

How Great War Eats
Up The Metals

Many people connected directly and indirectly in mines wonder
Just what becomes of a lot Of the commercial metals which are
shipped from this State monthly by the hundreds of tons. A New
York writer answers these queries in part where he says that the
metals needed to fill the war orders already placed may be estimated
at over 10 per cent of last years copper production of The United
States, about 7 per cent of the speher production and nearly 20 per
cent of the lead production.

German Advance Checked
Russian Line Wristbands Attack and Prevents Advance OF
Austro-C German Forces in the Direction of Warsaw

London, July 29.-AHhough the Germans are using very strong
endorsements of men and guns, they have not yet succeeded In
breaking the Russian resistance either around Warsaw or IN kovno
and Courland provinces, in each of which sections heavy lighting has
been in progress for nearly a fortnight
Except for the capture of the village of Goworowo, on the
Narew front, and a number of prisoneres and machine guns at that
point and between Mitau and the Neimen, the German official re-
port issued to-day does not claim any advance.
In fact, General Won Buelow, in the north and Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, who crossed the Narew at some points, are being
held up by Russian counter attacks which, although probably cost
ly to the Russians, show that their is still plenty of fight left in them.
In the southeast Field Marshal Won Mackensens attack on the
Lublin Chelm railway seems for the moment to have come to a
stand still although he, too, is receiving achievements and assistance
from the Austrians who succeeded in crossing the Bug at SokaL
To the west of Warsaw the Germans announce the capture Of
the village of Pierunov, which is about Is miles west of the fore
line of the city, so that not much progress has been made on this
front.
British Critics Hopeful
There is a good deal in the Russian and German official re-
ports which cannot be reconciled, but on the whole, the British
critics are more hopeful than for some days that the Russians will
succeed in withstanding this effort to capture Warsaw, as they did
the previous attempts. The stubborn resistance of the grand dukes
troops, together with the fact that the battle is being fought on
ground of his choosing, has renewed the hope here that with a suf-
6cent supply of munitions he will be able to inAict a strategic de-
feat on the Germanic Allies.
