"The National Capital Prepared"

Few II any OF the many persons who saw the
new film, THE National Capital Prepared" at
PolIs last night went away disappointed.
The pictures surpassed the expectations of
even its most sanguinc supporters and was a
pleasant surprise to most OF those who were un-
familiar with its scope.
The National Capital Prepared" is a flm Of
about 5000 feet revealing Washington in its won
dertul beauty and clearly portraying the COM
merclal and educational advantages Of the city.
The pictures contain surprises for many who arc
long residents OF the city. One of the features
is a series showing thirty-ninc OF the best hotels
in Washington.
This feature shows that the National Capital
Is prepared-prepared to care for the thousands
who may come here to attend conventions and
other big meetings and prepared even to handle
the enormous throngs who visit Washington to
witness Presidential naugurations
There arc other features to show that the
nations Capital is prepared in other ways, cspc-
cialIy commercially The fact that the business
men OF Washington banded together to create
the film alone indicates that business interests
here are wide-awakc and eager to cry aloud the
advantages and beauties OF the National CAPITAL
throughout the land
And 1t is impossible now to estimate the in
Vulnerable advantages that will come to the citv
anu Us people through exhibitions OF the film
in other cities, The picture is the first Of the
KIND made in Washington and it will be sent TO
trade bodies in practically all the important cities
CT the country for exhibition without charge to
the public
Thus, the man on the Pacific Coast who has
only vague idea of Washington will be able 70
see the city almost we'll as the photographer
who devoted weeks to getting the pictures. And
the chances that the Pacific Coast man will
reach quick determination to visit Washington
on his first opportunity
COL Robert n. Harper is credited with con-
cer|ng the idea of "Thc National Capital Pre-
pared and the city owes debt of gratitude to
MIN and to the men Of the Board of Trade.
Chamber OF Commerce and Retail Merchants
Association who labored with him to make the
idea the shining reality it has become. Citizens
may pay part of this debt by devoting an after
noon or evening today or tomorrow in view
ing The National Capital Prepared"

Brussilof.

Though the allies sustained one of their great
est losses when Kitchener went to ms death
they have gained wonderful asset IN brussiiof'
who is directing the Russian armies IN the east
with the strategy that has been termed even
finer than Hindcnburg's.
The sweep of the Cars forces in their last
drive was hardly under way when the Franco
British drive was started and the story OF what
the Russians have accomplished has been almost
lost in the telling OF the details OF the new Of
fensivc in the west.
But the eyes of the military experts OF the
world have been watching Brussiloff through the
mcager reports from his battle front and he is be-
ing acclaimed a leader Of knowledge, cour-
age and foresight.
The Germans have been amazed by Brus-
siloffs tactics. He has sent wave after wave OF
men and steel against them with daring be-
speaking not only determination but strong
confidence in ultimate success. His enemies are
beginning to take the view that he would not eX-
pend men and munitions as he has done without
supreme confidence in final victory.
The strength of Brussilof's drive may be
imagined from reports from Teutonic sources
that Germany is beginning to view the Russian
sweep with more concern than they have had
about the Franco British offensive. In the west
the alueS St1ll have trenches before them, Dut IN
the east Brussiloff has broken through and
brought his foe to bay in the open. With his
vast resources in men the Russian leader now is
daily forging a more complex problem for his
opponents
Brussof already has put many men and
guns into action that it is reported Marshal Won
Hindenburg has declared Germany will have to
send 100000 more men to his aid before Ger
many can begin another offensive on a large
scale his front.
And Germany long has felt the urgent need
Of more men. Only few days ago dispatches
told of the British capturing long line OF
trenches occupied only by boys OF I8 and 10
years.
Records made from official German lists show
that since the beginning OF the war German
casualties have SCARED beyond 100000 men, not
including those OF the navy Oh OF colonial troops
This number of men wounded, captured, missing
or killed Germany admits and yet the war is
young, the Russian drive has not been stopped
and the Franco British drive has just begun
Will the Germans be able to halt the brilliant
Brussilof? They must and the only way seems
to be the calling out OF the hundreds OF thou
sands Of men that the Tcuton press has been
continually announcing are being held in re-
serve.
Though Kitchener is dead his plar Of crush
ing the Teutonic allies between the forces OF
many armies still lives and in Brusslof it seems
the right man has been found to carry out Rus
sIa S great part in Kitchcner's plan.

James G. Blaine regarded Thomas Cor
win, df Ohio. as the most brilliant, ef-
fective and popular stump speaker who
ever entered an American political cam
paign. Often in his later years Mr.. Blaine
referred to Corwn and to the danger
which a brilliant political speaker con-
stantly faces because his enthusiasm,
his desire to make a profound effect and
thoroughly to Captivate an audience. Is
likely TO cause him TO say something
which may be mistnterprcted and to be
used to impair his political strength.
The late Charles Finncy Cox told me
some years ago that his brother. Jacob
ID. Cox, who was governor of Ohio and
also secretary of the interior In the first
cabinet Of President Grant. regarded
Ccrwin as the highest cXempIification of
a combination OF personality. wit. !magi-
nation, rhetoric and evc-y quality which
appeals TO the emotion Of a popular as

What's Speed of Snail

AT a snsirs pace" is a common ex-
preston, and usually signifies a very
slow speed. But what do you sup
pose is the actual pace made by a snail
in travelling.
1t can be given in accurate figures
One foot in four minutes, or at a rate
Of one mile in sixteen days. II travel

given by George ZahniEer, a civil en-
gineer. taken from actual observati ton.
A short time since Mr.. Zahnizer was
waiting for a train at a country sta .

do, and killed a little time" by timing
a snail which was creeping along the
ground.
That snail travelled just exactly one
foot in four minutes. Mr.. Zahnizer
has figured out that it would REQUIRE
sixteen days for that snail to move a

now that Ambassador Gerard has officially re-
