Moltke as chief of the German General
staff.
1t is worthy of note that the removal
of the Grand Duke has followed very
shortly upon the invasion OF Russia
propcr by the forces of Germany and
Austria Hungary. Previous to the capt
ure of Warsaw and the continuation OF
the successful advance of the Teutonic
allies to the east, the fighting on the
eastern front Of Germany had been
either in Galicia, territory OF RusslIs
enemies, in Russian Poland, or in the
Baltic provinces of Russia, the lands Of
peoples always more or less alien to the
Russia of tradition and history.
Since Warsaw the invaders have
made their way into Russia proper, and
the invasion has taken on a different
aspect 70 the people of Emperor Mich
olas. Their deeper national feelings
have been aroused in a manner that
was not the case in the earlier months
of the conflict.
1t is a tradition OF Russian history
that the Emperor, the Little Father"
should in person lead his armies, par
ticularly at time OF grave peril, and
the predecessors of Emperor Nicholas
have left records as men OF action IN
the held AT the head OF lNelI tIOops.
Hence it is possible that sentiment may
play a large part in the removal of the
Grand Duke This idea would be fur
Their supported by the fact that the
military ability Of the Grand Duke has
been loudly praised by military obsery-
crs. His conduct of the Russian re-
treat from Galicia; through Poland;
from Warsaw, and then from the sec
ond line of Russian defences beyond
the Vistula, has been described as eff
cent and mastery. Nevertheless, Il
has been a retreat, and as result Old
Russia is to-day invaded.
Grand Dlke Idol of Armies.
Grand Duke Nicholas has been de-
scribed as the idol of his men in the
field, and il has been said that he viz
tually held the army in the palm of his
baud. But this popularity evidently did
not find reflection among Russian Of
fcers, particularly those of high rank.
The Grand Duke has treated his officers
with marked severity. His punishments
of them have been swift and hard, and
he has made no distinction between the
lowly subaltern or the man OF high
rank and political po> er An indie

Great crowds yesterday visited the

Senator Humbert Declares
Germans Will Yield in
Rain of Shell.
INDUSTRY GIVES
MEANS OF VICTORY
Factories Prepare Armaments
Under Genius of
Artillery.

Paris. Aug. % Correspondence OF
The Associated Press). - Senator
Charles Humbert. one Of the leading
members Of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs. has written for The
Associated Press the subjoined article
on the relation Of industry to the war.
Senator Humbert has been conducting
the successful campaign for the high
pressure production by the whole IN
dustrial resources of France Of shells
and guns. He is the new proprietor OF
"Le Journal" with circulation OF
about million. Senator Humbert
writes:
THE important part played by indus-
try in the present war IL due not only
20 the power and the perfection Of hre-
arms. but even more to the immense
number Of men In line. These millions
Of combatants would be nothing more
than mob predestined to massacre
without the tools Of combat, when
must necessarily be supplied and re-
newed.
Long before the war it could be
seen what character the hostilities
would take on Personally, ! predict
ed IT, The Germans. especially, were
very well aware Of it. and it is only
necessary TO think for a moment OF
the formidable preparations they had
made to realize that they could put at
the service of their warike intentions
a military machinery ready to its last
detail ! regret very deeply that my
own country. in spite of oft repeated
warnings. did not follow their ex-
ample.
Experience Outdoes Foresight.
But the actual experience of war
has gone far be.ond any fores ght for
it. The destructive power OF he hre-
arms-rihes. machine guns, rapid fire
guns of all calibres-has been so re-
vealed on the field of battle that the
combatants have had to renounce com
pletely the system of maneuvring in
open country.

ITALIANS ADVANCE
ON CADORE FRONT
Repulsed in Attack on Austrian
Salient in DOberdo,
However.

Paris. Sept. s-On the Austro-
Italian front the Italians claim TO have
captured several enemy positions on
the Galore frontier, while the Aus
TRANS report the repulse Of an Italian
attack against the salient of the karst
plateau in Doberdo. On the rest OF
the front only artillery actions have
occurred.
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL.
The Austrian official statement says:
In the district of the Kreuzeburg
Ridge (Carnic Alps the situation
has been quiet since the defeat OF
the Italians Monday. The enemys
losses were greater than were origi-
nally estimated.
Italian infantry which was pre-
pairing an advance east of Nermeg-
iiano was driven back with hand
grenades.
In the district of Doberdo our
troops early this morning repulsed
an enemy attack against the salient
of the Karst Plateau.
A communication received to-day
from Udine, Italy, says that General
JOifIe, the ! french COIHlhdHucA IA SHiN'i
was so interested in the dispositions Of
the front line forces during his recent
visit to the Italian army in the field
that King Victor Emmanuel and Gen
eral Count Cadorna, the Italian chief
of staff. found occasion to beg him not
TO expose himself imprudently within
the range of Austrian shells. -,
General JofTre, during two crowded
days, not only followed closely the
Italian General Stats explanations OF
its strategy, but also studied the de-
tails of the Italian mode of fighting
talking with both officers and men
about their work.
An official note issued to-day gives
the reply Of General Count Cadorna to
the message sent him by General Jotfre
after the latter's visit to the Italian
front. General Cadorna thanks Gen
eral Joffre for the honor of visit
which he said had knit into closer
unity faith in the common ideal The
message concludes:
Beyond our common frontier, which
does not separate but unites the forces
and aspirations of our two countries,
my thoughts and best wishes follow
YOU TO the French army, already
crowned with victory; and | look for
ward with absolute certainty to the
final success of the allied armies"

REV. STALKER PLEADS
FOR A LIFE OF SERVICE

The service at the Free Baptist re
viyal at the airdome on last evening
was one OF the best yet held. Evan
gelist Stalker was at his best and
brought to his hearers a message that
carried with it conviction. He drew
the message from the text Of Rev.
3:ll. He said IN part:
Our ultimate salvation depends
upon our continual service 10 God
and the church"
He drew Bible pictures that carried
with them much power from such
characters as Samson. Elisha. Demas
and others, showing that II was the
love Of pleasure, gold and Of this old
world that had and was causing the
great falling away. The devil isn't
after the sinner-he already has him
II is the brightest shining light in the
curch he is after. He wants you that
he might bring a scandal upon your
life and the church Of Jesus Christ.
Sin in the church is just as bad as
sin out Of the church. He intimated
that while Bryan had some good peo-
pie. the LATEST and most unconcerned
Christians he ever met live here and
he was alarmed for their chances o.
heaven. You boast Of your great
schools, your moral and social life.
Already your schools are suffering
on account OF sin, and warn you
churchmen Of Bryan II there is not a
forsaking of sin your schools will go
down.
Much interest was manifested In
/ this service and several asked for
prayer.
Services each day during the weeb
at 10 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. There will
be a great mass meeting for men and
boys Sunday afternoon at o'clock.
