THE RUSSIAN ARMY

(By William Philip Simms)

PETROGRAD, July 1.-(By Mail)
--"The Russian army is twice as big
as it was when the war started, it
better fed, equipped and munitioned.
Militarily, we are able to carry our
part of the load"
1t was the President of the Duma,
a leader known to Russia as a frank,
outspoken man. This man knows
something about armies. He began
academy. lie is actively engaged on
army problems now.
Duma member Sergius Shidlovsky,
leader of the Progressive Bloc, con-
trolling element of the assembly,
gave the same answer, adding:
"The army is better than it has
ever been. Its spirit is perfect. In
the sountry the people are too busy
to be pessimistic. Townspeople love
to tell alarming tales which grow.
AT the front with the soldiers it is as
another world. Everybody is cheer
full. To some neutrals, the Russian
army has been a disappointment,
Judging it by German standards Of
perfection. Judged otherwise, the
Russians have accomplished heroic
things.
Russia stretches twice as far from
east to west as the United States.
She is as wide as from New York to
San Francisco. Her population is
thinly distributed over this tremend,
Gus area-40 times that of Germany
railways are few and, for a cam
paign against Germany, inconven-
iently laid.
When war began, the Russian army
was undergoing complete reorganiza-
ton. Mobilization caught it at the
worst moment. The new untried
mobilization scheme was stopped and
the old one resorted to.
Russia is 80 per cent peasant and
reserves cannot be notified quickly
as in Germany. Once notified, many
must walk great distances to the
nearest settlement. From here the
first small group walks or rides to
village on railway and from here

its works IT is willing to be judged
by a free and an eminently fair
minded people"
Gov. Ralston launched immediate
" into a review OF the work OF the
democratic state convention. divid-
ing his ideas equally between the
state and national SUBJECTS
The democratic party OF this
state has given the people wisely
constructed legislation In new

law. a food prevention law. a law
regulating child labor. a tenement
housing law. an arbitration law. an
anti-lobby law, a teachers pension

the people" he said.
Denies Extravaganza.
The governor referred 70 attacks
on the public service commission. as
sorting they were the consequences
Of pioneer work, and maintaining the
law is not surpassed BY any state.
The workman's compensation act. he
asserted. is bringing employer and
employe closer together.

He praised the national tariff legisla-
ton. currency legislation and the
Administrations conduct or interna-
tional affairs.
Intervention Not Necessary
The assault on Americans on the
border by Mexican outlaws does not
call for interference by our nation
against that government" he said.
Il would not give one American boy
for all the greasers south OF the Rio
Grande. nor for all the gold Amer
leans might amass from Mexican
speculations."
Regarding Americans OF German
nativity he said.
They feel keenly whatever mill
tates in any way against their coun-
try but they must not let love for
their mother country chill their
loyalty TO the nation that is giving
them greater liberty"
