GERMANY'S GOLD A FACTOR.
By Otto von GIasenapp.

tActng president of the Berlin Reichs-
 bank
 l cannot tell how long the war will last. l am sure though, Germany will win. At any rate, Germany will be able to hold out.
 Financially and economically our sit nation is better than the enemys. So far there has been no difficulty in ob- taining money for conducting the war, and there will be no difficulty in the future either.
 The English sea warfare has been benefit in disguise to Germany. It drove the entire German industry into the fatherland's service. Germany now stands on her own feet, independent of the outside world, thanks to Ger man science and industry.
 The gold reserve in the Reichsbank is now 2.000,393, ,000000 marks, or over I, 100000 more than before the out break of the war.
 This Is much better than Frances and Engand's showing

ANOTHER YEAR AT LEAST.
By Gugiielmo Ferrero. [ rE'eD1aua Italian Historian

Before the Russian retreat I hoped the war would end this year. I have, unfortunately, lost that hope. 1 now ask, win the war finish the next year?"
 It seems impossible it can last more than two years when one thinks of the sufferings of the peoples involved, but it seems equally impossible 1t can end even next year, when one contemplates the political and military situation of the belligerents.
 It is impossible to foresee the extent of the defeat of the Germanic empires, because it will depend on the resist ance of Russia, which is difficult to cal culate. The fate of Constantinople hangs on munitions. If Roumania re- fuses to allow them to- pass the city's fall cannot long be delayed.

TEUTONS HAVE UPPER HAND.
By Major Ernst Moraht.

Military critic of the Berliner Tageblatt.l
 In the west the German armies in rapid, triumphant advance, carried their standards within fifty miles of Paris and have kept them flying there since mid September. Almost all of Belgium and the northeastern depart ments of France have been occupied by the troops of Germany.
 The west bank of the Vistula in Poland has been cleared of Russian armies. The Russian forces will be destroyed or forced to flee deep Into the interior to the eastward
 The Germans have every reason at the end of the first year of the war to consider their sacrifices in blood and treasure have been rewarded. We are we'll prepared for q continuance of the war. Our nation still possesses deter mination to conquer and to make the necessary sacrifices.

Populace Quits Warsaw.

Thursday evening, July 15, the Rus sian authorities announced in the news papers that the city's official evacua- tlon would begin on the following Sun day. As a matter of fact, it began i'm mediately. The police visited every house and told the ''stoOsh," or porter. to try to induce the inhabitants in his building to leave at once for Russia (as distinguished from Poland).
 Free transportation on the railway to any destination in Russia and grants of money were promised when needed. Unlike the partial evacuation of last December, every effort was put forth to induce citizens to leave Warsaw, the police showing kindness and sympathy which greatly touched them.

 Warsaw status as fortress is less imuor@ut than as the central gan

The eitv was the chief objective of the Ger man drive against Russia and may well Ina called the Boston of Russian Pc land. d larger Boston. to be surc, for more than ten years ago it claimed 756,- loco inhabitants. However, greater Boston and greater Warsaw would probaby he of about the same size. This ancient city is the political, lit erary and artistic capital of Russian Poland

Warsaw is a great railroad center, and the cagerness of the Ger mans to capture Warsaw and their willingness to eXpend uncounted men and millions iu this effort arc easily un- derstood when it is remembered that there are six trunk lines connecting the city with Berlin Warsaw is indeed Ia prize worth winning. There is no more attractive city in eastern Europe.
 The great operation against Russia. which was planned by General von .Falkenhayu and has been in course of .eyeeutiou for the past three months, is the most aspiring and in some ways the most brilliant piece of strategy this war has yet produced. General Fal- kenhayn obviously prepared his plan by the light of the signal failures of the other German plans of the autumn and winter but his merit is not less because he recognized previous errors and sought to avoid them.
 When in the early days of May he set going his columns from Cracow and the Carpathians for the recon quest of Galicia his ultimate aim was ito place the German armies in the south in such q favorable position With regard to Poland that an envelop- Ing attack upon the Russian central ana northern armies could ultimately 'aNe place under conditions to promise success

was needed was to secure the fam, positions 10 the north and south. so an enveoping attack might proceed with out the necessity of frontal viacks along river lines such as previously brought lTindcnhurg's plans to uaueht.
 To secure such flank positions it was necessary to reconquer Gallcia and also the territory north of the Niemen without unduly alarming Russia. To the rcconQuest of Galicia two months were given mp and practically the whole of May and June devoted to this purpose. which was efficiently carried out and greatly superior forces were assembled.
 The Germans at the end of June had nearly 4J0.000 Russian prisoners, taken fin the reconquest of Galicia, and 339 guns and S96 machine guns were cap tured. It is certain the Russian south ern armies and that part of the central armies which helped them suffered heavily.
 The mechanism of this operation was modelled closely upon the Japanese Mullden model. There was not a gen eral simultaneous attack on all the fronts, but rather a succession of at- tacBs. of which the last was launched q fortnight after the opening of the first.

THAT DON'T CARE" SPIRIT

Every day, no matter where we
go, we are always meeting the man
who says, 'T don't care" OF course
we all know that if he doesn't care
there is no one else who will, unless
it be someone who is directly injured
financially or otherwise by the man
with the Don't Care habit.
This kind of man goes about his
work in desultory way, hardly get
ing started on one task before he
leaves it and starts on something
else, and, when his fellow workmen
chide him for his desultory habits,
he growls and grumbles and sput-
tiers, and finally with an angry, 'T
don't CARE" he begins another task,
leaving the unfinished job to fell
low worker.
He makes life and labor miser-
able for himself and everyone who
associates or works with him; he is
always bowling about the high cost
of living and starvation wages ;
nothing in the world suits or salts
fies him except the clickety- clack
of his own tongue, and he rumbles
and roars like an active volcano
whenever he chances to get his
tongue bitten by his own teeth; and
according TO the tale of woe which
is forever and forever rolling off
the tip of his tongue, one is led to
believe that he is the most wronged
man in the world, that the poor
fellow (?) is threatened with ami
hilation, when all that he needs is
good "strap oiP' and dose of

NEW BRIDGE OVER OHIO RIVER

The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
Company announces that contracts
have been let, through subsidiary
company (The Chesapeake & Ohio
Northern Railway, for the building
of bridge over the Ohio River near
Portsmouth, Ohio, and about thirty
miles of new line forming a connec-
ton between the Hooking Valley
Railway and the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway by trackage arrangement
with the Norfolk & Western Rail-
way from Waverly, Ohio to Valley
Crossing, Ohio, a distance Of about
sixty-two miles. The cost Of the
new line, including the bridge, is
estimated to be about $4,5O0,000, of
which 100000 is on deposit with
Trustee, being proceeds of the sale
of Kanawha & Michigan Stock.
The new line will be Of great ad-
vantage to the coal mines tributary
to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway,
insuring a more expeditions move
ment of coal destined to the North
west via the Lakes, and also insur-
ing a large tonnage to the Hooking
Valley Railway. The New Hooking
Valley coal pier at Toledo has great
capacity and is unsurpassed on the
lakes, and the Chesapeake & Ohio
Lines will occupy more command
ing position than ever before. 1t is
hoped that the bridge and new con-
struction will be completed by Nov
ember 1, 1916.
