MNIVE RSARY
FINDS CHANGE
IN WAR FIELD
Second Birthday of German
War With Russia Much
Different From
First.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The second
anniversary Of Germany's decIara-
ton OF war on Russia finds the reIa-
tive positions Of the beIligerents
'ery different from those Of the
first anniversary. The entente allies
now are pursuing a successful often
sive on all fronts and the central
powers are virtually everywhere on
the defensive.
Emperor William celebrated the
occasion by the issue Of proclama-
tons 10 his army and navy and peo-
pie. which breathed a spirit Of con-
tinued confidence in ultimate victory
for Germany.
The operations on the eastern
front continue TO surpass those IN
the west in dramatic interest. The
military critics express great admira-
ton for the Russian tactics. one OF
the important objects of which, i'm
their opinion. has been 10 isolate the
Austrians from the German armies
ON the Russian front. This. il now
is claimed. has been virtually ac-
complished.
Result Obtained.
The view here is that if the Ger
mans have thus accepted severance
from TIE Austrians. the most deci-
sIve result OF the whole OF the Rus
sian Gen. Brussiloff's strategy will
have been obtained.
The critics say that the Austrian
forces between the Lipa and Dnies-
ter rivers are doomed. There has
Oeen no confirmation OF the report
received in Rome that Kovel and
Vladimir NOlynski have been
evacuated. but Rome is usually well
Informed on Russian news.
a correspondent with the Russian
forces has reported that the roads
toward Kovel are black with the
retreating enemy" Exactly where
cen. Brussilom's next blow will fall
is not known.
Since Sundays combined advance
on the Somme line by the British
and French, the situation there has
been comparatively quiet.
The Germans claim 10 have driven
back the British who had penetrat-
ed on narrow front territory, west
81 the FOGreaux wood. and TO have
repulsed successfully an eight fold
French attack in the neighborhood
of Maurepas. There has however,
been no important change i'm the
line since the Anglo-French advance
last Sunday.

| Washington, Feb. Iowa repre-
sentatiyes in congress are conspicu-
ously opposed to President Wilson's
proposed continental army Of citi-
zen soldiers. This was disclosed by a
poll Of the opinions of the members OF
the Iowa delegation.
Today the president is speaking in
| Iowa in an effort to bring popular
pressure to bear on congressman to
/ support his program of national de-
( tense.
Views Of Iowa congressman.
The attitude of members of the Iowa
delegation is disclosed in the follow
, ing interviews:
Thomas J. Steele (democrat)-We
should make reasonable increases in
our army. navy, and coast defenses,
but do not favor an extreme program
that would tend to an extreme pro-
gram that would tend to militarism
Just moderate increases all along the
line with increased efficiency is all
believe we need.
Harry E. Hull {republican)-I favor
preparation for preparedness by de-
veloping our arsenals SO they can
equip larger army force when we
may find it necessary to get one. We
should have somewhat larger and
highly efficient navy. well balanced,
with all the needed auxiliaries.
Gilbert n. Haugen (republican)-I
favor reasonable preparedness pro-
gram, but am opposed to extravagant
plans. ] am not supporter of the
continental army plan, but believe 1t
preferable to build up the size of the
national guard and make it more effici
ent. We should increase our navy If
that is found necessary after thorough
consideration and we should pay spe-
cial attention to our coast defenses,
submarines, and mines.
Favors Adequate Defense Program.
c. William Ramseyer (republican)-
favor a reasonable and adequat tie pro-
gram Of preparedness.
Horace NJ. Towner (epublican)-I
am in favor of preparedness for de-
tense by increasing our army and navy.
altho j am opposed to the continental
army plan.
Frank p. Woods (republican)-I favor
preparedness for defense. / would add
several big battle cruisers to our navy,
with sufficient submarines. destroyers
and airships TO round out a formidable
fleet. l would let every officer and pri-
vate take examination for, and have
trial In advanced positions. so that in
tine of war we could Immediately in
crease our officers and add volunteers,
rounding out an efficient fighting force.
Burton E. Sweet (republican)I do
not believe in militarism and I hate
war. ] do not believe in peace at any
price butt, think there is safe and
sane position between these two ex-
fremes, that should be applied to our
preparedness program. / am not In
favor of the continental army plan.

REED FLAWS ROOSEVELT.
Colonel Is Brave But Oyster Bays

Washington, Feb. Reed of Mis-
tackled Roosevelt for his attitude
toward the Wilson administration and
praised the presidents conduct of for
eign affairs during the European war.
1T is a happy thing for this country
he said, that neither extremists have
been in charge of the government, a
happy thing that there has been in
sistence on American rights. and
equally fortunate that there has not
been some hot-headed importunate
demagogue in the White House who
might have been persuaded to plunge
this country into war in order to
further his own political fortunes.
MANY men are extremely brave who
have no opportunity to put their
bravery to the test. The peaceful
banks of Oyster Bay offer the safest
place in the world from which to is
sue a challenge to war;
A sharp exchange between Senator
Reed and Senator Fall occurred when
tho latter interrupted the speaker to
ask whether "the senator thinks Oyster
Bay a safer place now than was Kan
sas City in 1882
I'm answer to the gallant knight
from the southwest" replied Senator
Reed, Il will say that my applicatio
was in. and my only reason for not
participating IN the Spanish war was
that no further troops were ordered
from Missouri. I have not paraded
that fact and I would not mention it
now but for the contemptuous and
wholly unnecessary insult from the
senator from New Mexico"
"If the senator from Missouri de-
sires TO take that application from
my inquiry he is welcome to it," re-
ported Senator Fall
