I Last winter two ice breakers kept Vladi-
vostok open throughout the entire cold
season without any trouble. This year q
third Ice breaker has been bought in
japan. and the port authorities anticipate
no difficulty in keeping channels open to
the docks.
V~ladivostok has hitherto been an ex-
porting and not an importing port. The
nigh freight rates across Siberia made
the port useless as a supply center for
european Russia until the recent war
threw all the Russian ports out Of COM
munication except Archangel and vladi-
vostok. the W gateways through which
Russia can now draw her arms and am
munltion from outside countries.
Dock Machinery Inadequate.
Heroic efforts have been made in vladi-
vostok to measure up to the expected re-
probabilities. but warehouses, ware
house docks. cranes. trackage and rolling
stock were lacking to care for the ava
lanche of wal supplies. Temporary tracks
have been built in every possible direction.
Warehouses have been enlarged, new
piers nave been thrown out, but the en-
larged facilities have not been equal to the
influx OF freight. n the worst is to come.
So far. large guns rave been the only
bulky machinery unloaded.
The great cargoes of American locomo-
tives and steel freight cars call for dock
ing machinery and facilities which vladi-
vostok does not afford. The docks are
small. entirely of wood and few in num-
Der: The lighters and barges available
are also small and not well suited to large
pieces of machinery.
Owing to the conformation Of the har-
Dor. Q large part of which Is wholly mo-
nopolixed by the navy and army as a dry

supply depots. 10 or IL ships at most can
be unloaded in the harbor at once, and
with this number lighters must be used to
a considerable extent.
Virtually every available foot Of ground
along the water front is at present stacked
high with war supplies covered with can
vas. Warehouses are crowded to their
capacity n the overflow Is piled under
any temporary shelter that can b pro-
vided.

!TlDunc.
Only recently has the attention OF Amer
can been directed to the attitude of the
smaller subject races of Europe TOWARD
the war. Americans are beginning to
realize that several of the great powers
engaged In war. like Austria-Hungary
and Russia, and to some extent even Ger
many, are not homogeneous countries and
that apparently the populations of these
empires are not unanimous in supporting
the action of their respective governments.
Among the smaller races of Europe that
have been dragged into the conflict with
out being consulted, the Bohemians or
Czechs occupy a prominent place. With
the exception of scattered colonies in the
various large cities of Europe, and leav-
ing out Of account more than 5O.N0 Bo-
hemians In the United States, the Bohem-
ian race has It's home in the northwestern
corner of Austria. lands of the ancient
Bohemian crown, now known as the prov
inces or crown lands of Bohemia, Mora
Via, and Austrian Silesia. The census of
1910 gave the number of Czechs as {, 435, 1888.
Allowance must be made for the motor
lous partiality Of the Austrian census,
which aims to strengthen the German ele-
ment of the monarchy.
Now. there Is no doubt as to how the
Bohemians feel about the war. The cor
respondent of he Chicago Tribune. Henry
J. Reilly, writes in his article on the
'Austro-Hungarian Army with the
possible exception of individuals here and

ousies and many differences Of language.
have proved loyal to the empire, with the
Jingle exception of the Czechs." And he
proceeds to tell of the desertion of a Bo-
hemtan regiment to the Russians as a
proof of Czech disloyalty.
There are numerous other authentic
occurrences where Czech regiments sur
rendered prematurely or refused to fight.

V1ndivostok Choked With
Various Munitions of War

V~ladivostok, Oct. 10 (By Associated
Press MaiN-Wtth its wharves piled high
with all sorts Of war supplies and its rail-
way facilities wholly inadequate to meet
the insistent demands Of the Russian

Trainload Every Three Hours.
1t is estimated a train load Of war sup
plies starts westward every three hours,
but the great warehouses n piers are
constantly filled again from the ships al
ways at anchor waiting for q chance to

Chinese is piling copper and lead into
freight cars which are rapidly worked into
trains and started off for the seat of war.
So far not a single ship from New York
has arrived bearing locomotives or railway
cars. -Four hundred and fifty American
locomotives m 10000 American freight
cars have been bought and many of them
have been shipped. Several ships bearing
railway supplies passed through the PAN

Gunmen's Girl Pal Lead
Cops to Capture of Gang

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3D.
One of the most sensational man
hunts of the decade, beginning In
New York over a year ago AFTER
the murder of Murray Hennessy
during gang feud and relent-
lessly maintained, recently ter
minated here with the arrest OF
Charles Thomas, Benjamin Hall,
Charles Williams, Maize Marshall
and Lillian Cantweil.
Thomas was positively identi-
fled by finger prints.
The arrests were made at the
point of revolvers. after the sus-
poets had got wind OF the detect
ives espionage, when the Mar
shall girl had unwittingly led the
sleuths to the rendezvous.
New York officers had wired
the local police to watch for the
quintette, advising them that the
gang was part of the old Gyp-the-
Blood clan Of gunner, and that
arrest would PROBABLY be resisted
by the desperate suspects.

and is already beginning to edge
away to the west and north to-
ward some lone island, 1t is ru-
mored, where she will fill her
water-casks before proceeding to
the seasons hunt along the coast
of Japan. The hunters have ex-
perimented and practiced with
their rifles and shotguns till they
are satisfied, and the boat-pull-
ers and steerers have made their
spritsails, bound the oars and
rowlocks in leather and sennit so
that they will make no noise when
creeping on the seals, and put
their boats in apple-pie order-to
use Leach's homely phrase.

and is afraid to venture on deck
after dark. There are two or
three standing quarrels in the
forecastle. Louis tells me that
the gossip Of the sailors finds it's
way aft, and that two of the tell
tales have been badly beaten by
their mates. He shakes his head
obviously over the outlook for
the man Johnson, who is boat
puller in the same boat with him.
johnson has been guilty of speak
ing his mind too freely, and has
collided two or three times with
Wolf Larsen over the pronuncf-
alton of his name. Johansen he
thrashed on the amidships deck
the other night, since which time
the mate has called him by his
proper name. But of course II is
out of the question that johnson
should thrash Wolf Larsen.
Louis has also given me addi-
tfonal information about Death
Larsen, which TALES with the
