this wonderful result in the short secret known only to herself and, per- haps, that cunning little military mar vel of the past decade, Japan, whom we very much suspect has had no small share in the development of this remarkable war machine. We are, of course, aware that Japan has furnish l ed at least a large share of the sup plies and aceoutrements of the Rus sians to perform such prodigies.
 We do not intend to detract from the abilities of the Russians by offer ing q pointed assertion that Japanese knowledge and training are respon- sible for the skillfully developed and highly organized army, but signs are not wanting that it may be true. It is true that the Russian military lead CTS have acquired a great deal of knowledge and experience in the midst of the manifold vicissltudes of the war At times they have been victor and vanquished, winners and losers; now the leaders of victorious and ir- resistable cohorts, again the desper- ate defenders of defeated and dis organized horde. They have encoun- tered about every variety of experience that can fall to the lot of military commanders except that they have not been utterly overwhelmed. Had that happened they would not of course
 be leading new armies at the present time. Through it all they learned great deal that would assist them in perfecting Il new army of still greater efficiency than the older one. But, even allowing for possibilities in this respect, it is believed that such re- markable results as have been attain ed hespeak the presence of the brown men of Nippon somewhere behind the Russian battle lines. Such remark able military development would be a great credit to even the wonderful military skill of the Germans But, as il. Japan seems the only other nation possessing skill equal to such a task.

NOME, ALASKA, JULY 19, 1916.

The sudden and remarkable sue cesses attending the renewal of the Russian offensive suggest that the steam roller" recently the joke of the pro Germanites, has developed into something more than q facetious term. Indeed, il commences to appear that much a reality but has also developed an extraordinary head of steam and is proceeding to the task of tiatten- ing out it's opposers in a manner truly typical of that contriyance of iron and steel after which it is named. The comparison ceases with this, however. as the reorganized and newly develop acter of the steam roller only in it's display of remarkable facility in crushing down opposition. In other respects the new military organiza- ton hetraYs little sign of the slow, unWieldly thing of metal. From the war reports it may be judged that it has developed d remarkable agility, capacity 10 go ahead at q most amaz- ing rate, as well as d singular propen- sity for gobbling up large sections of The enemy. In addition to fiattcning out the Teuton opposition, it has per formed such prodigies in this latter hot doubt that even the Germans are as- tonished.
 The remarkable ease with which the newly developed military organiza- ton has swept aside opposition has done more than amaze the Germans, it has also astonished the world, in- cluding the military experts. If it is remembered rightly, the latter gentle men early in the war laid down the then incontroVertible dictum that it required three years to develop an eff ficient army, starting with the raw material. One Kitchener, of lamented memory, disputed the theory to the extent that he attempted to build an army in year. And, while he sue ceeded in remarkable degree, in creating an excellent military force within that period, his success was in no degree comparable with that of Rus sia, who has, on the ruins of the beaten and shattered remains of great army which confronted the Teutons at the opening of the war, built a military organization in eight months which, in strength and efficiency seems to equal if not excell that of her primary new Russian war machine by trained ard clever observers unite in charact- erzinE if as wonderful development Of organization and efficiency-an opinion that is seemingly well sus- tained by it's amazing display of acti- vities.
 EVen the grudging attestations of those who incline to the opposite side of the great international controversy bear witness that the new Slav army is extraordinary in full sense of the term. Three separate articles by mill ltary observers attached to the Aus. trian forces. lately perused, describe the abilities of the czars army in superlative terms and openly admit that in point of organization and mili- tary capacity it is the marvel of the war

FORMER SALOON MAN
SELLING REAL STUFF?

Peter De Kuyper, GA Third avenue,
on a charge of selling liquor in dry
territory preferred by his son-in-law,
Walter Kannengerg, was arrested yes
terday. His case will be tried We'd
nesday 1t is another case where the
police must decide whether beer or
near beer was on sale. Kannenberg
claims it was beer; De Kuyper asserts
there was no alcohol in the beverage
he dispensed. De Kuyper is a former
saloon keeper. When the bill went
into effect making Moline dry, he
opened a soft drink parlor. Yesterday
he had an argument with his sOn-in-
law. In order to get revenge the
younger man went to the police, tell
ing them that the father-inlaw had
violated the liquor regulations.
Because he gave a neighbor piece
of hose last year and tried to get the
property back yesterday, Charles Nor
rell was assessed S2.05 for disorderly
conduct on complaint of August Yer
Platts He was also instructed to re-
turn the hose. 1t seems that when
Morrell attempted to recover his for
mer property Yer Platts called him an
Indian-giyer. Morren resented this,
and the scrap started. Yer Platts
swore out a warrant for his neighbor.
