and Archangel they will be sufficient
to offset for many months the losses
sustained by the Russians in their
Inflated effort to invade Hungary.
Imagination fails to grasp the enor-
nous demands modern warfare
makes upon industry. A French en-
gineer estimates that every soldier
will require ten rifles a year. These
weapons are sent back from the
firing line by carloads to be re-
paired. The French government has
completed plant for producing
two hundred thousand explosive
shells day, and this falls short Of
the requirements. Frances 10
millimeter guns emit sixteen shells
per minute, and it is related that
some of these guns have records Of
having spat two thousand shells a
day.
The Germans cannot penetrate
deeply into Russia, as the -attenua-
ton Of their lines would spell dis
aster; but besides Lemberg there
are Warsaw and other great fort
resses defending Poland's capital
whose capture by the enemy will
certainly be attempted and possibly
encompassed unless the Anglo
French armies in the west strike
swiftly and terribly. 1t is perilous
for England and France to wait for
Roumania and possibly Bulgaria
and Greece to enter the war. That
would avail little if Russia's back be
broken while they wait. 1t is peril
Gus to delay in the expectancy that
Constantinople soon will fall, and
the Dardanelles swell with supplies
for the Cars armies. The time for
the allies to strike is before a mil
lion or more Germans can be spared
from the eastern front to prevent
what the allies are delaying.
Russia's greatest danger is her
lack Of munitions, and next to that
is the failure of the allies to dc
in the west what the Russians neve,
hesitated to do in the east when the
allies were hard-pressed in France
and Flanders.

RUSSIA'S WEAKNESS

Grand Duke Nicholas has been
helpless to arrest the onslaught Of
the Austro- German armies. The de-
fensive power Of the Gar has been
broken, and we are promised soon
to see the Muscovites driven from
all enemy territory, despite the su-
perior number of Russians and the
undisputed valor and efficiency of
their soldiery.
The cause is Russia's lack of mu-
nitions. The empire is not equipped
with adequate facilities for the man
ufacture of war supplies, and lacks,
too, skilled workmen in these indus
tries. Without warm water ports,
she has been as completely isolated
as Austria and Germany, having
about equal access with these ma
tions to the Scandinavian countries.
Vladivostok, which has been open
during the winter, has been of COM
paratively little use to her, as
Japan, upon whom she depended
chiefly for supplies through that
port, has been outstanding her own
war supplies during the Chino-Jap-
anese crisis, and Archangel, Rus
sia's other port, has been icelocked
through the winter.

IBERIA, it is believed by military ex
perts that the problem so fraugh
with peril to the Gar will soon b,
solved. In the meantime the Aus
tro-Germans threaten to exten'
their lines into Russian territory

olas to attempt all over again every
thing that he has accomplished dur
ing the war.

"TnE JINdO EDITORS +"

Mr.. Bryan is quite past under
standing. He issues a statement to-
day, rejoicing that the press re-
CARDS the note to Germany as more
friendly than had been expected. He
accuses the lingo editors" of as
suming that the note was going to
be hostile beyond chance of compos-
ing differences; now he says it is a
relief that they are emphasizing the
friendly tone of the note and "point-
ing out that it does not necessarily
mean war"
Precisely; they are doing just
that. The impression that the note
meant or might mean war was
based on the actions of Mr.. Bryan
himself. He left the Cabinet rather
than sign the note. What on earth
could the press and the public as
sumo, from that, other than that he
thought the note meant war? If he
didn't resign because he thought
the note meant war, why did he re-
sign? If he resigned because the
note restated the position taken in
the first Lusitania note, why did hs
sign that first note?

In the meantime, whatever arrangement may
happily be made between the parties to the war. and
whatever may IN the opinion, Of the Imperial Ger
Government have been the provocation- or the

The sinking Of the British passenger steamer
Falaba by a German submarine March 2s,
through which Leon C. Thrasher an American
citizen, was drowned the attack on April 2s on
the American vessel Gushing py a German aero
plane; the torpedoing on May of the American
vessel Outright by a German submarine. a
result of which two or more American citizens
met their death; and. finally, the torpedoing and
sinking Of the steamship Lusitania. constitute
series Of events which the Government Of the
United States has observed with growing con-
Germ, Distress and amazement.
The Washington times., 1915-06-11

The Government OF the United States is contend
ing for something much greater than mere rights or
property or privileges commerce. 1t is contending
for nothing high and sacred than the rights or
humanity, which every Government honors itself in
respecting and which Government is justified IN

upon the law founded upon this principal that the
United States must stand.
The Government of the United States notes with
qualification the full recognition by the Imperial
German Government, in discussing the cases Of tho
Gushing and Guitiignt OF the principle OF the free
dom Of all parts Of the open to neutral ships
and the frank Willingness of the Imperial German
Government TO acknowledge and meet its liability
where the fact of attack upon neutral ships which
have not been guilty of any hostile act by German
air craft vessels OF war Is satisfactorily estao-
lished.
But the sinking of passenger ships involves

Note of February 10:

had its attention dire ctcd to the proclamation OF
the German admiralty issued on the 4th OF Febru-
array that the waters surrounding Great Britain
and II Gland including the whole of the English
Channel. are to be considered as comprised within
the seat Of war: e feels II to be it's duty
to call the attention Of the Imperial German Gov
ernment, with sincere respect and the most
friendly sentiments, but very candidly and earn
estly, to the very serious possibilities Of the
course OF action apparently contemplated under
that proclamation.

tunately" the United States knows
the facts, and these are not the
facts. Then he goes on 70 aver
that the American Government
scrupulously discharged its duty In
regard to knowing the character OF
the Lusitania. The German govern
ment omitted its duty and obliga-
ton. Even If the German charges
concerning the Lusitania were true,
the President would not be moved.
For he says that "the sinking Of
passenger ships involves principles
Of humanity which throw into the
background any special circum-
stances Of detail that may be
thought to affect the cases"
Thus the American Government
has demanded from Germany the
guarantee for the future Of course
Of naval conduct that Germany
cannot grant without giving up at
least much of her hope OF terroriz-
ing or starving Britain with the
submarines. 1t is a sweeping de-
mand that our Government makes,
and it is made with a deliberation,
an earnestness and solemnity--two
words which in diplomatic commu-
nication are fraught with very spe-
cial significance-that are strength
ened by the fact that the present
note declines to recede in any way
from former demands.
President Wilson's note leaves
very little room for further de-
bate. 1t is model in manners, and
it approaches about as closely to the
quality of an ultimatum as it could
without taking on that character.
But it is no ultimatum; it leaves the
way open for further consideration;
consideration, however, which will
have to be directed at the real is
sues as this Government chooses to
lay them down.
Assuredly there will be wonder
ment that Mr.. Bryan felt his con-
science forbidding him to sign this
note, when he had been able to sign
that of May 15. There is no word
or line or suggestion of swsshbuck-
ling, threat or essential change of
attitude from that which was adopt
ed in the earlier note. 1t is, indeed,
inconceivable how Mr.. Bryan could
have changed his mind between
these two notes. The earlier i'm
lplied and, indeed, said everything
fundamental that is in the later.
Did Mr.. Bryan sign the first note
with the understanding that it was
just bit of bluff and buster, from
which this Government would retire
later to a completely changed posi-
ton? If he did, he convicts him
self of a disingenuousness that his
lpresent protestations Of conscienti.
| Gus purpose cannot excuse. 1t would
seem that Mr.. Bryan was playing
to the galleries" when he signed
: the first note, while the President
was in deadly earnest; and thai
when Mr.. Bryan discovered that thu
. President meant all the things hi
was saying, it became necessary fol
Bryan to listen to the dictates of {
conscience that must have beer
. very, very still when it allowed hin
to approve the first communication
There can hardly be doubt, ever
, in the most obdurately unintelligen
mind, that the international situa
t tion is today such that failure t
support the President verges clos
: upon disloyalty to the country. Il
the face Of such a condition ther

CONVEY MUCH IN FEW WORDS
Japanese Proverbs Pungent and Their
Repartee Apt to Be Keen
and Singing.

It has been said that the japanese
are as apt and unique in their proverbs
as they are in their works Of art.
What, for example. could be more ap-
propriate to men in certain desperate
circumstances than this: Man may
shout when he can no longer swim"
while the tongue works the brain
sleeps" is another saying Of the Jap
anese, which expresses their contempt
for loquacious persons.
The Japanese are quick at repartee:
their wit is keen and tempered. and
they can often administer a perfect
snub in brief, terse form. In illustra-
ton of this there may be cited the fol-
lowing instance:
There was being tried in a court a
case involving the possession and own
ership of a piece of property. The lit
igants were brothers. The holder. who
was clearly not the rightful owner, had
assaulted and elected his brother and
was protesting his right to defend his
claim.
The examining magistrate listened
very patiently to him until he closed
with the words. Even a cur may barb
at his own gate" Then the judge
quantity voiced the judgment, as II
stating an abstract point of law, "A
dog that has no gate bites at his owl
risk"
