A MARNINe AND 4 REToRT.

It Is reported that when the cap-
tain Of the Eastland was warmed by
an officer from the boiler room that
she was listing dangerously, he re-
Piled: Mind your own business and
get back to the boiler roomi" and this
is being repeated to prejudice public
sentiment against him. What else
could he have said? He was more
brusque than polite, but this 10 usual
on the poopedeck to excited under
officers from below.
The captain could show no evidence
Of lack OF confidence in his ship to a
subordinate or before a, great crowd
Of passengers II was his imperative
duty to silence anything likely to start
a panic on board. He could have done
worse. perhaps he might have done q
little better.
The captain is not to blame for the
architectural faults of the EastIand,
which was top-heavy after the upper
deck had been removed. Her record
was bad. She passed the government
inspectors and didn't have one more
passenger on board than the law al
lowed. The officers of the East1and
are probably least to blame for this
marine horror. The boat was aunflt for
passenger service.

stances allow any of this territory to
go back into German hands at the
conclusion OF peace, nor IL II likely
that England will care to add to its d.
rect responsibilities by creating 1t q
separate crown colony It IS gener-
ally regarded as inevitable therefore
that the greater part Of Southwest
Africa will ultimately be included as
an additional. province OF the Union
of South Africa, with the exception
OF the Caprivi strip, which may be
added to the Chartered compay's ter
ritories in Central Africa
For the immediate future, temporary
arrangements will be made for the
administration OF the new territory
during the remainder Of the war un-
der a governor appointed from Cape
town with the1approval Of the London
government.
Plans are already being discussed
for the further development of GER
tain parts of the conquered colony.

Livingstone to the west coast, which
would open up the rich cattle country
Of northern Rhodesia by a shorter
route to the sea. viii apparently be
the first big engineering work to be
undertaken. Later win come the de-
velopment Of the great mineral wealth
Of the country. while 1t Is expected
that those parts which are suitable for
pasture will be occupied by Boer trek
kers from the Transvaal and Orange
Free State.

FORCES AND CAMPAIGNS.

There are engaged now in war for
the nations representing the triple en-
tente six other nations with a total
force of approximately 10 million men,
and the three countries today repre-
senting the triple alliance have 9 mil
lion men, SO the armed forces now
disturbing the world count up a total
of 28,000,000 armed men.
A year has elapsed and the land
forces have see-sawed along a little
over 1000 miles of boundary lines,
have almost trodden out of existence
two inoffensive nations, have killed
and injured full three million men,
spent $14. 100000 in cash, to say
nothing Of property destroyed, and
honors are even and the future uncer-
tain.
Looking calmly at this appalling
record, why shouldn't it make for per-
manent peace? What is there in it
for men or nations from the point of
view of battling for conquest. What
is the hope? An increase of power,
a change in vassal states, another
triumph in error. The world cannot
be cemented together for the welfare
of man by this ANTICIPATED and bar
barous method.

WHY.

We learn after weeks OF fierce light
ing that the Germans in their third
and greatest drive against Warsaw
have come to standstiH-they have
been checked.
The question has often been asked
why the allies in France and Bel
GUM have not undertaken a counter
drive to, push the Germans back and
relieve the pressure upon Warsaw
Simply because they couldn't. They
have all the men they can raise at
the front and the artillery duels there
and the hand to hand engagements
have been the most obstinate con-
f1icts ever witnessed in this world. A
French force had a night and day en-
counter Of two weeks duration to take
from the Germans few trenches; and
an English force to gain few hun
bred feet fought for hours supported
by artillery and of TOO men engaged
only 125 escaped unscratched.
: The French and the English have
all they can do to make preparations
to meet and hold In check the mex;
great German force sent their way
It is not lighting that is going tc
win this duel OF the nations. but thei,
abiIity+to support the strain-the Loss
in men and treasure-lopgest.

YOU
MHERE OUR HOPE LIES.

When we come to true analysis
Of American citizenship it is COM
posite-a medley Of aliens and their
descendants, an assembly of men who
left the world of tyranny to embrace
a larger freedom and to give force to
the sentiment that true sovereignty
was vested in the people. not in a
representative family.
We all have our sympathies accord
ing to our blood; but our hopes and
our fears in this new world are iden-
teal Not a monarchy in Europe has
any sympathy or much respect for a
government of the people by the people
for the people. Britain has fought US
twice and would have done so q third
time but for Russia Germany has
been frank enough to set down for
our perusal its military opinion that
we are an easy mark.
If we are not true to the idea which
drew US together, and loyal to the hope
that is within us, we are an easy
mark. What we hope for as the result
Of the present European war is Of less
consequence to US than what we hope
for ourselves. Do we desire to be men
or slaves?

Stories of the War

at Vladivostock. they found that Rus
STA had issued orders for the inmobiH-
Zation of all accounts OF civilians Of
the enemy countries.
In many cases these detained people
have spent the winter where the Their

Fahrenheit Dropped into villages
without means of livelihood. many be-
gan to try and earn their living. Some
turned themselves into bakers, others
shoemakers, still others clerks and
general laborers. But this was not
sufficient to care for all, and there was
indication of great misery until the
rGeman government with the consent
of Russia, made an arrangement with
the American embassy at Petrograd
whereby German funds are forwarded
to the Abandoned civilians. For the
Vladivostock district this distribution
which takes the form OF monthly al
lowances is being carried out effective

K. Caldwell. who before his appoint

embassy at Toxic. ! a number OF
cases the civilians are accompanied

MILITARY TRAINING.

We have less than 100, 900 men in q
population of 90 millions who have a
practical knowledge OF military tao
tics.
Our regular army totals $4,000 train
ed men; and our militia 10000, in what
might be termed the primary class.
Our reserve force includes every able
bodied man between the ages Of Is
and 40. and out OF 10000, 900 men it
might be possible to muster 5000, 900
capable Of being trained and qualified
as national defenders. In an exigency
we could put mob before the trained
forces Of Europe, when we ought to
be able to present at once 1000. 900
men familiar with camp lifes and mil
itary tactics.
When the secretary Of the National
Security league says we are woe
fully inefficient" he tells a plain and
alarming truth. and when the league
recommends reserve force OF SOC, 900
trained men it has the interest Of the
country at heart
We need a revival OF the military
spirit. At the close Of the Civil war
the country had 1900. 900 fighting men.
but today it is woefully short of the
knowledge and skill which so recently
was its security and defense.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dog Days Upset Predictions.

Mr.. Editor: In response to upwards
of a hundred Bulletin readers who are
looking for August predictions, must
say that no one not even the U 8.
be sure of anything during dog days,
and the entire month OF August Is in
the dog day period.
I only resorted to guess work once
in my life; that was last February;
and the miserable mess / made Of
March weather shows how little guess
work amounts to. There has been no
person. organization or bureau in the
United States, or anywhere else, that
has come within shooting distance OF
me for correct weather predictions for
the entire year, except the guess work
month of March.
According to my rules, set down and
followed by four generations Of sea
captains, August viii be another freai
month Three storm periods, two cleo
trical periods OF great force and Sc
verify. and several very cool, If not
frosty, nights.
The old Dog Star is liable to upset
all plans, however. 50 we will have tC
grin and bear what he gives US.
From the middle to the 25th Of the
! month the earth will be in the shoot.
ing star position. and many meteors OF
greater or less magnitude may be
looked for about that time.
At least two high wind storms may
be expected during August. Unless
all signs fail. the northeast wind will
be much in evidence again in August
How many of you have kept track
Of winds since the sun crossed the line
in March? Those of you who laughed
because I said that there would be loo
days Of northeast wind before the au-
tumrai equinox have another laugh
coming. There is nearly two months
yet to run. and the wind up to today
(July 2s) has been in the north y
times.
Can Uncle Horace beat that?

Russian Supplies.

With Vladivostock burdened with the
business of war-it is a great shipping
center now of vast supplies for the
Russian armies-with practically the
drop of intoxicating beverage can be
bought in V1adivostock. With speed
and efficiency prime necessity in get
ting the supplies off to the front, al
cohol and the business of war would
not mix well here Hence the law
whisky. and even beer is strictly en-
forced.
But it is a wonderful thing how the
people have gone along without drink
ing. They have demonstrated this and
shown that they can have q good time
Just the same. They still frequent the
cafe concerts" or find other amuse-
ments to relieve the heavy burden of
the days work. To be sure the con-
certs close at one, instead Of five in
the morning, but everybody wants to
go to bed earlier now and get up ear
lier. The feeling OF the people that
they must drink something besides
water induced shrewd officers of the
army commissariat to revive a Russian
temperance drink that really was dis
covered 1000 years ago. the old Rus
sian ''lSvass." It resembles American
root beer and 1t Is made of Russian
black bread and yeast. An allurins
and deceptive foam results from the
fermentation of the yeast. 1t is now
drunk everywhere.
The women conductors on the tram
ways also give new note to the city.
At first they were pleasantly teased
and joked about, but everybody is
used to them now and likes them as
agreeable and capable, And in a very
general way the Russian women in
Vladfvostock are proving themselves
genuine heroines. Almost all have
husbands, sons, brothers at the front
They have taken up the work at home
stoically and optfmistically. Out back
