The Unbeatable Russians

The great Russian offensive, VIII ich the
hosts of the Car are again waging on
the East battle front is further proof, if
any were needed, that the Russians are
practically unconquerable. The Russians
have suffered the most severely OF any of
the combatants, in men, in munitions
and in land. but the powers of Russia has
never been seriously curtailed; indeed,
with new armies and with plenty of mu-
nitions Russia is more to be feared than
ever before.
The Slav food is again rolling irresisti-
bly, over the Austrians, who have again
and again been swept back by the gigan-
tic human tidal wave. The latest re-
ports state that since the present often
sive was started a week ago, that the
Russians have taken over 100000 pris-
oners and that the Austrians have been
forced back for miles along a wide
front. For the third time then since the
war began Austria will have to call on
Germany to save armies from being over
whelmed by the Slav torrent.
The mighty empire of the Gar is main
tanning two great offensives at one time
-one against the Teutons and one
against the Turks. More than that, she
has men enough to spare some for France.
Her resources in human material tor war
are limitless. Russia is too big to be
overcome and too big to be seriously
hurt. Well may Russia's enemies fear
the "bear that walks like a man."

R. R. EMPLOYES WON'T CHANGE
 ANY DEMANDS

New York, June 6-It was made clear yesterday at the national rail- road wage conference that the four brotherhoods. do not now propose to alter or reduce the demands they have made in behalf of more than soc, ,oOO 1ocomotfye engineers, firemen, con- ductors and brakemen for an eight hour day and time and half for overtime.
 In response to questions by Elisha Lee Chairman of the conference, Brotherhood Grand Chiefs Garretson and Stone replied they had no power from the employees to change or modify the demands; that it was up to, the railroads to accept or reject them
 If the railroads reject the proposals. which they will do, it Is believed, the Grand Chiefs will call upon the broth- erhoods for a strike vote Backed by that, they will again put the demands before the railroads The companies according to present understandirr then will call on the Federal Govern ment for some form of arbitration Or mediation.
 a~The raf1roads' counter proposals. said Grand Chief Garretson last night, amount to a notification of our own proposa1s.''
 At the conference Garretson com plained of the long hours trainmen have to work, often sixteen hours a day, he said
 ~H the railroads were soaked the way you want to soak them,'' said Lee to Garretson with a grin.
 ''The roads should be soaked" broke fin Stone. %The men have been soak ed for years Turn about is fair play
 It was brought out that all over the country tratnnen are putting in twelve to twenty hours daily, despite 1a-. than sixteen hours work in twenty four hours

ment had been returned in the Ran
dell case, If that matter was probed.
Randell, who has been confined in
Oahu prison since his arrest early

fore the grand jury this morning. 1t

fendant, he testified voluntarily. 9th
er witnesses called were Marshal ].

vine of the 4th Cavalry, Harbor Off
Ger A. E. Carter and William H. Camp
