CAPITAL Of EMPIRE
IS Prize SOUGHT
War Expert Believes Germans
Aim Drive Against Petro-
grad Itself
BY J. w. T. Mason.

New York, Aug. 2S.- The struggle
for Petrograd has begun. With the
Russians driven from BrestLitOvsk
directly toward Petrograd, the Slav
capital is the immediate objective of
the Germans. Minsk, toward which the
Russians are retreating is almost a
third of the distance to Petrograd.
No attempt is being made by Grand
Duke Nichols to create diversion. He
realizes the danger now threatening
Petrograd and his one purpose now is
block the Teutonic advance to the
northeast. The Russians are keeping
their forces intact, and it is probable
if they intend making an immediate
stand, contesting the way to Petrograd,
they will give battle between Wilma and
Minsk Here are the last natural de-
fenses before the Dvina river is reached.
This FORMS the outer barrier of what is
properly termed the Petrograd hinter-
land. 1t offers an admirable opportuni,
ty for an offensive against the Ger
mans, although the chances are against
the Slavs being able to develop coun-
ter attack of their own. Could they
do so, the German right wing might be
forced into the Pripet and Pinsk marsh
es and the memory of the East Prus-
sian reverses would be avenged.
In turn, the Russians are approach
ing a difficult piece of country which
in measure is comparable to the lake
district of East Prussia. This is the
water region north of Minsk on both
sides of the Dvina river.
To avoid the danger of the lakes
north Of Minsk Grand Duke Nichols
will probably have to exercise careful
strategy, but at the same time the lake
region will protect his left flank if he
holds his line intact and he can retire
upon the Dvina in good order.
The Dvina front is shorter than any
line the Russians have defended. If it
cannot be held, Petrograd's fall is in
evitable unless the TeutOns are com
PEELED by events in the west in the
Balkans or Turkey to abandon the Rus
sian hunt.

Next Week Peach Week"
In Northwest States

Portland, Or, Aug. 2s.-By proclama-
tion of the governors of the two states,
the week beginning August 30 will be
''Peach Week" in Oregon and Wash
ington.
Every one is urged to buy the delici-
Gus fruit by the box and eat, can, pick
lie and preserve them.
Owing to the peach crop Of the
United States being the heaviest in
years there has been little eastern de-
mand for the Oregon and Washington
product. Unless the fruit can be dis
posed of in some manner the growers
face tremendous loss.
Even though the bulk of the remain
ing crop is sold during peach week it
is said the growers will scercely realize
the cost of production, On account of
the low prices.

show, but last night S exhibition was
clearly that of the greatest trained
animal show ever seen in Salem. From
the opening number the show was
marked by plenty of music and clever
acts Of the trained animals both wild
and domestic. Last night s show was
unlike the average circus in that there
was not so much going on but tnat all
could be seen and enjoyed, and the
feature acts were performed alone so
that all might see and marvel.
The show was particularly free from
fakirs and the usual run of circus hang
ers-on that are the bane of the police
officers. Not single arrest was made
yesterday by the local police ON account
of the circus crowd and not a single
misdemeanor was reported that could
be charged TO the circus followers.

Hot weather, band concerts, the cir

with repetition of "The Bargain, -
western picture featuring William $.
Hart, whose homely yet attractive face
in combination with genuine talent
for wild western histrionics has put
him well up ON the list of popular fav-
orites during the past year. "'The
Bargain is interesting but not en-.
tirely satisfactory, inasmueh as it de-
pends too strongly upon improbable
ties. Its hero is a road agent-a two
gun man, who while escaping from the
officers of the law meets up with n
girl and marries her without reveal
ing to her his identity. After this
he blunders out and is captured by n
sheriff, stolen money and all. The
sheriff ties the road agent up and goes
a-gambling, loses his own money and
that which he has taken from the road
agent. Then he returns to the bed
room in which he has left the road
agent and tells him his story, and the
r. n. says "Sheriff, if you III turn me

holds up the gambling joint, ggabo all
the kale in sight, leads posse long
chase, doubles on his tracks, comes
back to the sheriff, turns over the
money, with some additional, which the
sheriff readily accepts, and is turned
loose to get his wife and scoot for the
border. The wife hesitates Il bit before
deciding to flee with her husband, but
gives in eventually and the picture
closes with the sheriff waving an af-
fectionate farewell to them, the while
he is fixing up plausible lie to tell
the folks ct home.

Electric Safety
First Lighter in

while we expected that an electric

quite a number of sales in our favor"
says Claude s. Briggs. president OF the

Most motorists have q wholesome re-
spect for the explosive properties OF gaso-
line, and often go to extremes in avoiding
risks. Men who like to enjoy a cigar
as they drive their cars are confronted
with the difficulty OF keeping a cigar lit
while keeping their minds strictly on
the business OF controlling the car. Any
one who has tried to light q match with
car travelling twenty-five miles an
hour, need not be reminded OF the diff
culties OF the undertaking.
THE first 1915 Detroiters were equipped
with electric cigar lighters as an expert
ment, and they made a great hit. The
apparatus consists OF a length of flexible
steel tubing enclosing the two wires that
terminate in a resistance coil, which be-
comes red-hot when a small button in
the handle of the lighter is pressed. At

lighter Is within convenient reach of all
the occupants of the car. enabling the
