livered to the s. p. station by four
o'clock OF the day previous. No
transfer win be required for through

DISCUSS GOOD ROADS As AN AID
TO PREPAREDNESS AT CONVENTION

Spokane, Mar. 2S.-In paper sent
to the Northwest Conference on Pre-
paredness. and read by the chairman
today, Senator Miles Poindexter
urged that the recommendation for
an increase In the navy made by the
naval board be followed as far as
possible.
"a practical proposition, however,"
said the paper. SIS the most We can
obtain at this session. This probably
will be the adoption OF the five-year
building program recommended by
President Wilson and Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels.
1T is to be hoped that by some in
ternational agreement which must be
proposed and conducted by the exc
cutive branch OF government, we can
come to some agreement with foreign
nations for limitation OF naval arma-
ments on some basis tllat would leave
the United States in a relatively good
position,
without such an agreement, II Is
the height of folly for the United
States to proceed alone and without
regard to International conditions to
limit It's own naval armament on the
theory that there ls to be no further
Use OF naval power,
"tTnder the clrcumstances,' con-
cluded Poindexter, unless we have
requisite naval strength, we can moi

OF our most priceless national privi-
leges."

RENEW SL'AV

Before the Spring Floods

Berlin, Mar. 2s.--Russian troops
today are renewing their attacks
against Field Marshal Won linden
burg's soldiers on a 100-mile front.
Hurting themselves again and again
at the barbed wire entanglements Of
the Germans. the Slavs are being
slaughtered in great numbers. They
have not suffered heavier losses since
the memorable retreat from Dunajec
year ago.
But they must keep on attacking
or admit defeat and retreat.
The spring thaw will soon set in.
Then Russian lowlands will be food
ed, and the czar's commanders must
withdraw their entire line.
The Germans will suffer from floods
also. but they will not be compelled
to withdraw as much as the Rus
slams. Therefore. the Slavs are vast
ing much ammunition In desperate
Efforts to seize higher positions be-
fore spring freshets turn their
trenches into muddy bitches and
make their camps into vast swamp.
Despite the fury OF repeated Rus
sian charges. German officers are con-
fident their line will be held intact.
One German officer wrote relatives
here that Russian craftsmanship was
very poor.
SO strong are the Teuton defenses
that this officer wrote his battalion
lost only two killed and IL wounded
when the Slavs came on behind a
curtain OF terrific explosions.
Formerly one Russian officer was
found among every 500 privates cap
tured, on the average. Now, how.
ever. the ratio is one officer to every
I60 rankers.
