RUSSIAN PLACE NAMES.
Rules of Pronunciation Explained to
American Readers.
Letter in New York Evening Post.


A year ago no one paid much atten-
tion to the pronunciation of Polish and
Russian place names. but now that the
great war has come to take up so much
space in our papers we can't help our
selves. But what we find is far from
satisfactory in that the newspapers
give US spellings which give us no clue
whatever to the real sound of words,
due to the fact that the English rem
dering has been obtained via some
other language, which accounts for the
introduction of such letters as W and
II, which the Russian does not possess,
and disregard of the fact that the
kyrillic alphabet has fifteen vowels
and semi-vowels. We write CZensto-
chowa-but how many know what the
Polish Cz signifies? If the Russian
maps give it YencnoXoab. why can't
we also take little liberty with it and
write it Chenstokhov? And why Plock :?
Why not Plotsk? Dunajec should be
Dunayetz. The Polish So we can rem
der with sh or zh.
The Russian preiotised is the same
as the Polish lie, which we had better
write We, which would give US Nyemen.
Kyeltse, and would make the name of
the famous Russian journal Reich
sound less unesthetic by making us
pronounce it Ryetch. We also take lib
is sounded like our v and like the Ger
man W. This accounts for share of the
hopeless spellings we get via that Ian
guage. Ossovyetz and Narev are easier
to pronounce. and give the real sound
of the word better than do the spellings
we use.
Yes. this is phonetic spelling, and to
be frowned upon-but what is one to
do with our poor twenty-six letters
against an alphabet that has thirty
six, or the Polish alphabet with its
countless accents and combinations OF
consonants? Naturally we can't do
justice to it all, but we can simplify
things very much, and thus make the
reader who is familiar only with MUIR
rican' realize that the Slavs give to
their towns names that really are capa-
BILE of being pronounced.

not given space to such crimes as have
occurred. and tho cheap lurid novel
has disappeared for the present. Per
haps contributing reason for the de-
crease is the fact that many bold spir-
it's of the underworlds of the two great
cities are in the armies. There have
been a number of stories recently of
the fine soldiers the Partisan apaches
have made: how they laugh at danger,
and are ever anxious to get to close
work with the Germans. A decrease of
crime is ever welcome, but no nation
Is willing to go to war to get it. How

Legation Here Issues State
ment Showing Great Re-
sources of the Country.
LIBERAL CONCESSIONS
TO RAILROAD BUILDERS
Colonization Enterprises Are offered
Big inducements to Settle
the Lands.

The legation of Colombia has had pre-
pared a statement showing the tremen
dous undeveloped natural resources of
that country, with a view to attracting
capital from the United States, which
gives some striking Information not
known heretofore to the general public.
The assistance of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States has been
asked in connection with the distribution
of the statement.
The sum of 100000, 900 could be
profitably employed. according to the
statement, in the development of rail-
roads, and it is pointed out that "it
should not be forgotten that Colombian
law authorizes the government to assist
railroad Industries to the extent Of
$4,000 per kilometer of track duly
equipped $4,000 per mile), and that it
will grant up to 500 hectares of unap-
propriated lands per mile of roadbed con-
structed on one or the other side Of the
same
Gold, silver. platinum, petroleum and
coal are among the natural resources OF
Colombia to be had for the working, the
statement says. and the possibility Of
stock-raising on u large scale is ex-
planned.
Colombian Statement.
The statement is in part as follows:
Colombia is larger than Germany and
France together, she is larger than all
the coast states from Maine to Florida,
including Ohio and West Virginia.
Colombia is the richest and most pow
erful neighbor of the Panama canal and
has 1.e00 miles of coast line along the
Atlantic side and 1,500 miles along the
Pacific with ports which serve as ports
OF deposits and of shelter for the vessels.
Colombia. assisted by large capital,
we'll employed. will soon be richer and
more prosperous country than the Argen-
tine due to the fact that her natural re-
sources are much greater and that she
lies only six days distant from the United

Opportunity for Capital.

If American capital at the present time
should 20 to Colombia It will have the
first opportunity to take advantage OF
the greatest and best classes OF business
and of obtaining the construction OF the
most Indispensable public works OF the
country, exactly as the English have
done in the Argentine.
Certain specific classes of business
have an immense and very immediate
future in Colombia, such as mining,
stock raising and the exploitation OF
timber.
There is no known mineral in the
world which does not exist in Colom-
bia, and there are others. such as
platinum and emeralds. which are not
The present time the exploitation of
minerals has been made with few re-
sources, which has not however pre-
vented the making of large fortunes.
In regard to coal. Colombia need
not import coal from other countries
for her own consumption. for it is to be
had in every part of the republic, and
in mines (even with the surface) of a
superior grade. The exploitation has
been limited to merely interior con-
, sumption, but If carried out on large
scale the entire consumption Of the
neighboring countries could be sup
piled, establishing large deposits on
both sides of the canal at each port on
ciic.
Petroleum Fields.
petroleum is found in large fields
both In the interior and near the coast,
and examination made by individuals
and by foreign syndicates indicate that
Colombia may possibly prove to be
more productive than Mexico.
Colombia has vast stretches of nat
ural pasturaGe in all climates ample
for the feeding of stock on a scale to
tie on the hoof and for the establish
Inent of packing houses in sections

States than Argentine and Uruguay.
with her cheap cattle and grazing
grounds and with a large substantial
saving in freights. Colombia can send

cattle. beating all competition. From
| the Atlantic seaports the distance to
New York is only 1900 miles and to
New Orleans 400.
Actually Colombia has about seven
million head OF bovine cattle. and only
seven thousand were exported last
year to Panama and the Antilles.
Should a packing house be established
the scope of the exports would be
easily increased fifty times.
All Kinds Of Woods.
| There are all kind of woods for fine
cabinet work, such as mahogany. cedar.
walnut, etc, and enormous tracts Of
lands covered with the famous hard
woods like lignumvitae, quebracho.
diomafe, etc. as well as rich collection
of woods and shrubs for tho production

Routes of Commerce.
"A large colonization enterprise, OBJ
tanning from the government a conces-
sion for extensive territory and with
the license which the famous English
Chartered Companies possessed in colo
nizing Africa, could transform such
territory into ineXhauStible storehouSes
of natural products and into marts of
grazing and mineral industries. That
region of the future has two outlets:
To Europe by means of the Amazon and
Orinoco rivers, and to the Pacific, by
means of a railroad easy of construe-
ton, which, taking advantage of a de-
preston in the mountain range, can
reach the valley of the Patia river.
which empties into the Pacific, two
days journey from the canal of Pan
anna.
In order that the latent riches of
Colombia may be exploited and fill
with money the purses of those who SO
exploit them, it is necessary to con-
struct routes of rapid and cheap COM
munication, build railroads, construct
channels in certain rivers, widen and
improve maritime ports. This work Is
easy and has the advantage that what
ever road or route is started will at
once commence to pay returns, as the
regions traversed are both populated
and industrial.
River Magdalena.
THE greater part of the system of
routes of communication In Colombia
has for its center the River Magdalena,
which Is for Colombia what the Mis-
sissippi is for the United States. This
river is navigable to large vessels for
900 miles up from it's mouth, and for
smaller vessels 800 miles farther. Over
chandise enter Colombia, and the great
er part Of the national products leave
Colombia by the same river, as the
centers of consumption and of produc-
ton are located within short distances
on both sides of the river. So that.
taking the River Magdalena as the
back bone of the future system and
channeling the sand banks at its mouth
in order that steamships may enter as
far as the fourishing city Of Barran-
quilla, it would be necessary to con-
struct or terminate or enlarge several
lateral railroads. Running out from
the Magdalena system there remain to
be constructed other routes through
rich mineral and grazinz lands.
THE law grants to construction COM
panies of railroads the privilege of en-
joyment of the railroad up to fifty
years, and after the expiration of this
period 1t can be continued for twenty
five years. but the government may in
this last period buy the railroad"

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION

Much disease, trouble, suffering, de.
preston and worry, usually blamed to
other causes is due to constipation.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and proper
treatment with gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxatives, unfortun-
ately go common, gives temporary relief
but in the end aggravates constipation.
Pinkletsare dainty sugar-coated granules,
they act gently, causing no nausea or
gripping. They clear away the waste and
prevent congestion. With a little per-
sistence, which the result is well worth,
Pinklets really correct chronic constipa-
ton.
