A Russian Aggressive.

Dispatches that come from London
are indicative of a heavy Russian
movement on the eastern Austrian
front, where it is estimated fully
100000 men are now engaged in a
campaign for the possession of the
fanks of the Carpathians. These
forces, it is said, are about equally
divided. The fighting extends over
front of about 800 miles. centering
on Czernovitz, the capital of Buko-
wilma, near the Austro- Russian from
tier. The London dispatches indi-
cate that the Russians are amply sup
piled with munitions. having accumu-
lated a great store during weeks of
comparative inactivity. That the
Austrians have similarly been able to
store ammunition is to be assumed.
The preliminary action seems to this
time to have favored the Russians,
who have captured the heights domi-
mating Czernovitz, the inhabitants of
which are prepared to fee. This Rus
sian activity is believed in London
to be largely political in intention.

mania. A short time ago similar be-

Henry Ford's "Studies. ~

Henry Ford returned yesterday
from the so-called peace party,
financed by himself, which he left in
Norway in order to recuperate from
severe nervous breakdown. Talking
about the expedition and his motives
in its projection, Mr.. Ford says that
when he left the United States he was
of the opinion that the bankers and
manufacturers of munitions were re-
sponsible for the continuance of the
war, but after careful observation
he is convinced that the people them
selves, who are now being slaughter
ed, are responsible. 1t would be in
teresting to know what opportuni-
ties Mr.. Ford had on his voyage or
during his stay abroad to make OBJ
servations regarding the attitude of
the people of the warning countries
toward the conflict. He was in Nor
way less than four days, and during
that time kept close to his hotel. The
four days spent in Kirkwall, Eng
land, were not conducive to any ex-
tensive investigation, as the vessel
was held under virtual guard. and its
passengers were not allowed ashore.
Mr.. Ford left the party in Norway,
and it may be doubted whether he
has from the time he left this coun-
try talked with any real belligerents.
He may have conducted his studies
of the. situation, however, notwith-
standing his lack of personal COM
munion, and there is no doubt that
he has reached a much sounder con-
clusion than that with which he left
the United States.

try them. A record crowd is certain
to gather. They are so hopeful of
victory in November, number of
men, each with loyal following, will
contest for the prize. 1t will be a
favorite son convention; and that
may mean a deadlock and such
scenes as deadlock always pro-
duces.
The man in the chair, therefore,
should be alert, resourceful and with
staying qualities. With so many in
terests involved, SO many delegates
swaying in the grips of earnestness,
and with the necessity of ultimate
harmony under some leadership ever
present, a sure hand will be required
to guide things to safety. Should the
convention, in some unusually turbu-
lent moment, "get away" from the
chair a wreck beyond repair might be
the result.
Discussion of this and other fea-
lures of the republican program
should prove helpful. 1t will serve to
clear the atmosphere. 1t will let in
desirable daylight on matters in gen.
eral. Where there are two factions,
each in dead earnest and both well
led, the best management is neces-
sary to effect the union necessary to
success at the polls. Hopeful as they
now are, the republicans cannot af-
ford a hitch of any kind on their
journey.

The Persia.

As the details of the Persia disaster
are received, the case becomes more
grave, with apparently no palliating
features save the prompt expression
by the Austrian charge in this city
of regret for the happening, and an
assurance that if the submarine that
sank the ship was Austrian and if he
disobeyed his instructions the gov
ernment at Vienna will not hesitate
to adjust the matter satisfactorily.
The ship was torpedoed, it is def
nitely declared, and without warn
ing, sinking in FIVE minutes with great
loss of life. An American citizen,
the consul of this government at
Alden, was among the lost, which
gives the United States the right and
imposes upon it the duty to enter a
most emphatic protest. 1t is reported
| that the Persia carried a gun, which,
however, was apparently not used or
attempted to be used. Its presence
on the ship, it is declared by some
here, did not deprive it of its char
acter as a merchantmen. There
may be some question as to the status
of the vessel, however, inasmuch as
it is asserted she carried a number of
soldiers, who, it is claimed, were
travelling as passengers and not as
troops.
The gravity of the case lies in the
fact that the vessel was sunk with
out warning and that in consequence
many lives were lost. The case falls
within the category of the prohibi-
ton declared by the United States.
If the submarine was Austrian-and
on this point there is as yet no in
formation, but general disposition
prevails to accept the nationality of
the attacker as assured by the cir
| cumstances-the only excuse that
can be offered from Vienna is that
the commander of the undersea boat
had not received any instructions
consistent with the new policy which
Austria is apparently about to adopt
or has adopted in accordance with
the protestations OF this country.
Morally it makes little difference
whether the technical instructions
had reached the submarine COM
mander or not. The sinking of an un-
armed unresisting merchay tman
without warning would be murder
Gus act.
Evening star., 1916-01-03
The Chicago Convention.

Discussion OF the republican situa-
ton has taken on new and welcome
feature. The gossips have begun or
ganizing the Chicago convention.
The chairman OF a convention as
sembled to nominate presidential
ticket and adopt national platform
should be man of parts. Not pre-
eminently parliamentarian. Seldom
have difficult parliamentary problems
been presented to such a body. Be-
sides, there is always subordinate
official at the desk competent to
prompt the chair in all such matters.
The man for the place should, of
course, have the confidence of the
public, be a speaker of note and
power, and be clear of head and firm
of purpose in an emergency of hula
baloo. If not able to prevent hula
baloo, he should be able to prevent
any disastrous effects from such out
breaks.
The conventions of both parties
have of late years run too much to
noise. What are called circus
stunts" have been introduced and
played more to the entertainment of
the galleries than to the benefit of
the questions in hand. Parades
around the hall, with banners up
lifted; rivalries as to whose name
shall be cheered longest; stilted eulo-
gies of favorites have come to be
part and parcel of the game.
At Chicago in June the republi-
cans will face a situation which will

tail in the news accounts, eventually
proved to have been unfounded. Ru-
mania meanwhile remains neutral,
evidently waiting for developments
to indicate a safe course of conduct.
A pronounced Russian success in
Bukowina would undoubtedly have
material effect upon the attitude of
the government at Bucharest, as well
as upon the Teutonic campaign in
other quarters.
Evening star., 1916-01-03
Now for Business.

Lawmaking will now begin in dead
earnest. The holiday season is past.
Congress is fully organized. The
Presidents first recommendations
have been under consideration for
several weeks. Nothing is in the
way; and when the wheels begin to
turn the revolving will be rapid and
steady.
Less interest attaches now than
sometime ago to the length of the
session An early adjournment is ex
pected by nobody. A late adjourn
ment is within many calculations. A
great deal OF business is on the card,
and some OF it most pressing. The
government must have supplies, and
the money must be provided. Those
two questions alone-revenue and
appropriations-are of a character
demanding time. They cannot be
hurried.
Preparedness enters into the ques-
ton of supplies. A larger army and
a much larger navy are among our
needs developed by the European
war; and public sentiment in favor
Of them has converted many public
men, the President heading the pro-
cession. A strong opposition exists,
however, and this is being organized
for vigorous action.
Mr.. Bryan, without qualification,
has o,,f b;,,ea1f y. +ba ba,J of a. -
millennialists. He has challenged the
Presidents views, and wants them
rejected by democrats. Whether he
will conduct his campaign from this
town, or from his winter home in
Florida, has not been announced. He
is not going to Europe. The recep-
tion of the Ford party abroad and
the return home of Mr.. Ford himself
have settled that. Mr.. Bryan will do
his peace work on this side the At
lantic, close to base.
Presidential politics will dominate
the session. The democrats are in
power, and want to stay. The re-
publicans are out of power, and want
to get in. While, without a single ad-
dition, the record as it stands would
afford sufficient campaign material,
whatever is added by Congress before
election day will play an important
part in the campaign. Hence the GER
tainty that when Congress gets into
its stride we shall see both parties
there playing for every possible ad-
vantage. Not bet will be over
looked, and not bet made without
thought about the bearing on cleo
ton day in November.
Mr.. Kitchin's attitude as to both
preparedness and revenue. while
highly creditable to his conscience
and resolution, is yet source of
weakness to his party. He cannot
separate himself from his official po-
sition. 1t is not simply the member
from North Carolina, but as we'll the
democratic leader of the House, who
opposes the President on a measure
upon which the latter has staked
much. And the two gentlemen in one
will find himself, under the inevitable
prodding of debate, in an embarrass-
ing situation.

The amount of diplomatic corre-
