Starts in Diplomatic Work.

Vienna. Allan Walsh Dulles, a
nephew of Secretary of State Lansing,
and a grandson of the former Secre-
tary of State John w Foster, has ar
rived in India to take a position as
third secretary under the American
ambassador, Frederick c. Penfield.
Mr.. Dulles, who. though but % years
old, has already had an unusual edu-
cational career and who has been pro-
lessor at a university in Vienna, had
cherished the thought of diplomatic
career for some time, but he had never
let his hopes be known for fear that
any appointment he might receive
would lay him open to the charge of
favorittsm on the part OF his distin-
guished uncle. Therefore. in taking
his examination he did not enter his
name. but merely number, and re-
yealed his identity only when it was
definitely established that he had OBJ
tanned the highest percentage of the 10
candidates who competed.
BY an odd coincidence he comes 10
Vienna for his diplomatic start, with
Mr.. Penfleld for his preceptor and in
structor. Mr.. Peniield in turn ac-
cords 10 Dulles grandfather, John W
Foster, all the groundwork of diplo-
matte knowledge which he possesses.

great in area as the state of Illinois
keeps them in a condition of virtual
slavery to the rich hacendados, ex-
cludes immigration from foreign coun-
tries, stunts manufacturing develop
ment both by its effect on the labor
supply and its destruction of the power

Of unrest.
Popular tradition in Mexico is the
tradition of Independent landholding
on the part of the common man. This
was the very foundation of Aztec sOci-
ETY.. The Mexican peon has little
Spanish blood in his veins. He is an
Aztec, and he has held to the ancient
tradition of his people with regard to
the ownership of land through all the
changes and miseries which Mexico S
tragic history has brought upon him
1t seems strange that the wiseaCres
who are so cocksure OF Mexico's ina bill
ity to govern itself have not paused to
observe this universal passion for in
dependent landholding. 1t is the fOun-
dation for the institution Of local self
government in every free country I'M
der the sun.
Schools are the second great need of
, Mexico. The MeX1canS are teaChabie

| troll and have bright, quick minds. The
I peOn is unprogressive and unambitiOus
simply because he is unenlightened
mentally and helpless economically
Given land and schools, Mexican civil
ization will become stable. 1t will be-
come progressive in the direction indi-
Gated by the natural genius and tenn

Lieutenant Colonel Beverage, com
mandant of cadets at tho West Point
Military academy. had been busy all
day with his duties pertaining to the
graduation of the first class OF the
corps OF cadets and in the evening
strolled up to the West Point hotel
Colonel Beverage had met so many
strangers that he could not remember
them all, though being a prominent
person at West Point he was himself
remembered. A maiden lady who was
nearing the close of her fourth decade
nodded to him. Not being able to
place her, he Joined her, with a view
to Learning who she was without be-
traying his ignorance. They were soon
seated on a corner OF the porch, and
the colonel opened the conversation.
There Is far denser crowd than
that to be found here in June when

have the opportunity to spoon here

possible to get a girl off here by her
self and make no end of love to her"

that you did your share of that sort
of thing"

Mr.. Hughes has made a number of
speeches out west, and it is generally
admitted that there is at present no
glow in the western skies indicative of
anybody setting the woods and prairies
afire. OF course the sparks may pos
sibly be there, to flare up later into a
confiagration. But it is entirely fair to
say that at present the aspect of the
western skies is entirely normal to the
casual observer.
He has been hammering away at the
present administration with charges of
incompetency and inefficiency. He has
insisted that its preparations for de-
Tense are belated and inadequate. He
has emphasized the idea of an Ameri-

laid great stress on his advocacy Of a
federal woman's suffrage amendment
He has emphasized the Importance of
the tariff question, and insisted the
democratic party cannot and will not
afford American industries proper

Vienna.-tC Correspondence of the AS
sociated Press THE Russian often
sive against the Austro-Hungaria
troops is being conducted, according
TO Austrian officers returned from the
front, with tactics that hardly have a
precedent in the history of the world
These tactics are, briefly. TO ami
hilate the Austrians by forcing Rus
sian soldiers to advance in their own
artillery fire, drawing the Austrtans
from their bomb and shell-proof shell
ters into hand-to-hand combat, and
then moving down both Austrians and
Russians by a whitening drumfre.
Great Russian losses, IL is claimed,
are due to this method of warfare.
The Russian method Of attack In
the Bukowina and Wolhynia, the Aus
TRANS say, consists of artillery prep
aration lasting from "a TO As hours.
Then come the first Russian infantry
troops. in from to IA rows, driven
forward by Russian machine guns and
by Cossacks armed with the dreaded
"Nagaikas" or lead-tipped whips.
AS they advance the Russian artil-
lery fire abates somewhat, but between
IL and the Austrian fire from 40 10 5V
per cent of the FIRST troops sometimes
reach the trenches Their arrival nat
urally forces the Austrians TO aban-
don their shelters. and as soon as they
do so the Russian drumdrs begins
again.
In both the Bukowina and the VOL
hynia offensives IL is estimated that
the Russians use up about two NIL
lion shells every "a hours shells OF
Russian. japanese and American make
and thrown from every calibre OF gun
including naval pieces apparently as
mounted from warships
