GRAFT CHARGES IN
 CHINESE RAILROAD
Orientals Taking Leaf From Book
 Of Occidental Brothers

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 Picking, August 2o-surprise has
 been caused in Picking by the appear ance of a presidential order making wholesale charges of grating and in efficiency in the management of the railway from Picking to Kalgan, a line that has been the pride of the Chinese people ever since it was built in 1909 and which from the first days of its operation has been remarkably profitable. The road was construct ed under the direction of Chinese en- gineers and has been operated entirely by Chinese factors which made the people particularly proud of the en- terprise. The line is the gateway to Mongolia, dispiacing the camels and donkeys which formerly brought wool and other products to the capital
 According to the report of the min- ister of communications there have been gross irregularities in the pur- chase of coal for the railroad, in the , sale of passenger tickets, and in the extortion of private and illegal prof its from merchants by railway em- ployes.
 President Yuan Shi-kais order, based on the report of the minister of communication says: "It is impos- sible to conceal the fact that in the administration of the said railway discipline has been set at nought. The new director, Liu Shih-shun, of this railway, is hereby ordered to effect a Fundamental reform in the admin lstration of the said railway so that a clean atmosphere may be created.
 He shall perform his work fearlessly and eneregtically and we shall bear
 all responsibilities of his task.
 kuan n-chun, the former di-
 rector of the railway, has been in the railway service for many years. Yet he has passively allowed the staff to commit irregularities and let the mer- chants cheat the government with out taking any vigorous measure to remedy the corrupt conditions. There is no excuse for his fault in this re- spect, but as he has already been dismissed from office, he is leniently dealt with and no more is to be said about him. The recommendations of the ministry regarding the dismissal or degradation of the various mem bers of the staff are approved. Some of them will be closely watched" |. President Yuan Shi-kai completes his order with a plea for honesty or the part of railway employees that the government treasury, in time of if nancial stringency, may have the full benefit of railway earnings. "Whilt 1 it is desira ble to select capable tech nical men," he says, it is also nee essa:y to secure men of pure and high morality"

THE "SlAV MENACE."

In next Mondays issue of The
Courier will appear the first of the
editorials by men of national and inter-
national prominence. This first article
is on 1.-THE Slav Menace and Is writ
ten by no less an authority then James
Davenport Whelpey. author Of 1.-The
Trade OF the World" and other works
Of similar note. In view of the fact
that Germany believes itself to be
fighting the battle of civilization
against this very same 'slav menace,
the timeliness of the article should APP
peal to all. At intervals of three or
four days, other special editorials on
subjects of general interest will follow:
The Courier has gone to a large ex-
pense to secure these articles by these
eminent contributors and we hope our
readers will make the most of them. In
this connection we make this sugges-
ton: After you have read the articles,
cut them out and paste them in scrap
book and leave the first page of the
book blank for indexing the articles as
they are pasted in. When finished, the
scrap book will be an exceedingly in-
teresting collection of valuable refer
ences which will be useful in the future
as we'll as the present.

official Report

Petrograd, Jan. AN official COM
munication given out by the general
staff today recounts the situation IN
the various fields Of action along the
Russian front 1t says:
I'm East Prussia and in the region
of Mlawa (northern Russian Poland)
we have defeated Attempts by the Ger
mans to deliver a partial offensive.
ION the vistula, opposite Wyszogrod,
our armed steamers cannonaded the
infantry of the enemy with success.
Between the Vistula and the lower
Pilica the Germans have begun series
of attacks supported by the fire OF
their heavy artillery. Our troops. in
an action on the left bank Of the Bzura
river near vitkoritze, repulsed two
night attacks. On the Rawka river we
repulsed an attack directed against Do
letzk.
"On December 81 the enemy mani
tested activity which was particular
ly intense in the region of the town OF
Rawa, where the fighting still con-
tinues.
South of the Pilica the action has
spread out and the positions cut off the
routes from. Vlostchoro to Kielce.
I'm Galicia we made energetic at
tacks on the enemy in the region Of
Goriice southwest Of Jaslo) near
Mschanka and Ropitza where. despite
the extremely fierce resistance which
the enemy offered, we destroyed, after
a hard fight, their Notifications estab.
lished on the heights. In the village
of Mschanka we captured about 5000
prisoners. including IS officers, four
cannon and six mitrailleuses. The
fighting in this region still continues.
Furious counter attacks, which the
enemy made, supported by armored
automobiles, were repulsed by our ar
tillery fire and bayonet charges.
.In Bukowina we occupied, after a
battle, Storozhinetz and Radautz Gust
south OF Czernovitz). We also took
some prisoners" HI

C0NCREsSsETTLEs'
DOWN TO ITS WORK
BIG APPROPRIATION AND ADMIN.
IsTRATIoN PROGRAM YET TO
BE PASSED.

Washington, D. c., Jan. But little
more than two months of the present
session remained with the reconvening
of congress today in which to complete
the legislative program before March
4. With the holiday season over with,
members of the house and senate were
settling down today to the work before
of the big supply
measures and the administration pro-
gram.
Much of the work of the session yet
remains to be accomplished, but the
leaders are as determined as ever to
pass the necessary legislation before
March in order to avoid an extra
session. The house is far advanced
with it's work on appropriation bills,
but in the senate little progress has
been made. Having passed it's fourth
supply bill, the house today resumed
discussion of the Indian appropriation
bill.
Chief interest in congress today CEN
tered in the immigration bill pending in
the senate. Indications were that the
bill. together with the literacy test
would be voted on before adjournment
for the day and the passage of both
was assured Sponsors of the measure
predicted today that despite strong in
dications from the white house that
President Wilson would veto the bill
if adopted in its present form, it could
be passed in both houses over an
executive disapproval.

American Red Cross Asked
to Come to Rescue of
Hungry People
WAR TORN COUNTRY
IN AN AWFUL PLIGHT
No Crops Of Quantity Have
Been Harvested in the
Last Four Years

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1.-The
American Red Cross was today appeal
ed to by Consul General Hanna at Mon
terey, Mexico, for aid in relieving up
wards of 1000 families who are suffer
ing from hunger and cold in that sec
ton of the revolution torn republic.
Mr.. Hanna's message was sent to
the Red Cross through the state de-
partment In it he says that the food
situation Is worse than In Europe and
that in addition to those now needing
help several thousand probably will be
suffering before the end OF the month.
II now have five hundred families on
my list in Monterey who are being
furnished corn, beans and rice twice a
week." says Mr.. Hanna. There are a
thousand more families who want tick
cts to the relief station. There are
probably more than two thousand FAM
lilies in Monterey who need help now
and the prospects are that several
thousand will be very hungry before
January is past.
"The Mexican authorities are inter
ested in doing what they can, but after
four years of war, during which the
fields have been neglected, the crops
are very short and the local supply al
most exhausted.
II need for Monterey and nearby
towns two cars of corn each week. We
need carload of beans and rice each
week. We wish every town in the cot
ton states would buy bale Of cotton
blankets and send them to Mexico, for
these people have very little clothing.
1t is awfully cold. The food situation
is evidently worse here than in Europe.

To obtain all the sworn statements
of candidates required more than a
month of constant effort on the part
of senate Off Gals.
The truth is that 1t costs as much
and very likely many times more to be
elected under the primary plan than it
did under the caucus. The candidate
simply must make himself known. In
the case of the caucus, prominent
man is very likely to be well known
among those at the caucus because
those who attended cancuses made it
their business to "get line" on the
prospective candidates. In the case of
the primary, the candidate must make
himself known to the mass of the vot-
ers and so impress his personality up
on them and so popularize his name
among people who have never seen nor
talked to him. that they will vote for

DISREGARD OF LAW.

Government by consent Of the gov
erned" is one OF the basic principles
upon which this republic Is founded.
Governing without the consent of all
the governed, is becoming a pretty
hard task and is causing too much
general disregard for all law. Governor
Charles S. Whitman, new executive OF
the state of New York who was inaug-
urated Friday, sounds a note of warn
ing to tho American people in his in
augural address. He says that the
spirit of lswlessness in all American
communities is going unchecked and
that the increase in crime, which is re-
sulting, deserves the careful attention
of all who have the good of the nation
at heart:
In part the governor says:
Disregard of law, Impotence with
legal and moral restraints, contempt
for the judicial and executive ministers
of Justice are phenomena observable
in all American communities and I'll
classes. No material prosperity, no
Astounding wealth, no progress in the
sciences can save us from moral deca-
dence and ultimate decay if this spirit
of lawlessness and contempt for legal
authority shall continue.
1.-THE public opinion that tolerates
lawlcssness, whether it be the lynching
of a negro, or the murder of the OBJ
scure or the violence attending nearly
all the disputes between labor and
capital, will inevitably engender fatal
malady unless the quickened con-
science of the American people shall
cali halt.
There is but one way of meeting
the danger and that way is through the
creation of a dominant and pervading
public sentiment in support of the en-
forcement of the law. Where that SEN
timent is wanting no devices of the law
can make up for it..

Former President Tells Why
independence for the
Islands Is Wrong
QUOTES WRITINGS OF
PRESIDENT WILSON
Contends That the Filipinos
Must First Be Trained
to Self Government

Washington, D. O., Jan. 2.-Former
President Taft gave his views today
on the administration bill for ultimate
independence Of the Philippines to the
senate committee working on the
measure.
when President Mckinley sent me
to the Philippines" said Mr.. Taft, Il
told him thought that we ought not
to be in the islands. He said we had
the bear by the tail and had to stay,
But the idea then was that we would
get out just as soon az we could. Our
first purpose in being in there is to
get out"
Mr.. Taft read from one of Presi.
dent Wilson's books lengthy defini-
ton of self government. 1t set forth
that self government was mot mere
form of institutions but form of
character, a growing of people to
political maturity"
I'VE cannot" said Mr.. Taft, "give
the Philippines self government, be.
cause it cannot be given. We cannot
present the Filipino people with a
character. It must be acquired. One
way to acquire 1t Is through hard
knocks, as the Anglo-Saxon race &C.
quired it. When we went to the
Philippines we tried to give it to them
by maintaining constitutional form
Of government as an object lesson and
by educating the people in the lang.
uage of free institutions. We tried to
have the government participated in
but not controlled by the natives. You
cannot make over people in one
generation. Particularly you cannot
when that is generation of adults
and vast majority of that generation
is woefully ignorant. 1t cannot be
done.
what time do think will be nee
essary to train the Filipinos for sell
government? The time that shall
give to those people an opportunity
to learn English so that they shall be
an English speaking people. That will
take more than one generation and
probably more than two, if you count
thirty years as generation. You
can't educate all of the people-you
haven't got the money

Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year" was slogan that was little used
in Europe this year. Hardly home
on the continent and the British Isles
but what is in mourning as result of
the bloody conflict that is raging. At
tempts to make Christmas merry. fell
fiat because the people were in no
mood for happiness. Efforts to appear
joyous in welcoming the New Year
were even worse failures. From Ber-
lin. capital of Germany, comes word
that never before was New Year re-
ceived with such utter lack of festivity.
Where hundreds congregated last year,
tens met this year; where joy and
and noise reigned supreme
twelve months ago, quiet sadness pre-
vailed this time. And the same thing
was true throughout all the war ridden
countries.
A war that makes millions sad at the
harpiest time Of the year, is certainly
an awful calamity.

German Troops
Still Certain of
Winning Nct0ry

Of the German prisoners appear
gloomy and criticize their lead

the sentiments OF their fighting
troops"
So says a British Official eye
witness at the front in q dis
patch dated December 81, add
ing:
Neither the pinch of real
want nor the lack Of men and
material of war has yet been
felt by the Germans, nor has
the consciousness of defeat
been brought home to them.
"They believe that Russia has
suffered disastrous defeat; that
England Is decadent and
France exhausted and ready to
make peace. They are con-
scious, however. that the war
will last much longer than at
first expected"
