later with reverses. Or it may be
that the Slavs have struck the stride
which should be theirs, to press it on
to victory In the early days Of the
war, the cars armies invaded East
Prussia and spread over considerable
Austrian territory. And then came
the battle of the Mazurian lakes, in
which a Russian army was over
whelmed. To a lesser nation it
would have been a stunning defeat,
and even Russia was checked for a
time. Then Russia pressed forward
and captured Przemysl, or some such
combination Of consonants, and there
was another rise of Russian prestige.
After that Russia drove south through |
the Carpathians, into the edge of the
plains of Hungary. Then followed
Won Hindenberg's rough work, which
cost the Russians Warsaw and other
lesser cities, drove them pretty well
out of Austria, and even threatened
the Baltic port of Riga. That Austro-
German drive was a blow, softened

lrmy made good retreat, but the

CURRENT COMMENT

And now who is Hughes? W.
only know that he was precious
boy, fond Of study from the beginning,
that he won prize after prize in
school; that he graduated with distin-
guished honors; that he never ac-
cepted aught but exalted stations and
that he has always made good. His
first real message to the people was
the one he sent to Chairman Harding
Of the convention accepting the nomin-
alton. In that he stated the kind Of
American he is, the kind of American
ism he thinks should be sustained;
how he despises expedients and make
shifts at the expense of sacrificing
plain duties under the laws and lower
ing the nations prestige before her
own people and the world He made |
clear his code which is devotion TO |
duty, the upholding Of the right, and
the guarding of the nations honor
under the guidance Of righteous laws.
Not one appeal TO the galleries, not
one classical fight over the heads of
the people; not one covert strain of
superior culture-just the steady
stroke of an engine in perfect order
and big enough TO carry its load. 1t
is vivid reminder of one of Benjamin
Harrison's speeches that the New
York World sent reporter to find
something in to criticise and which,
after five weeks of effort caused the ,
reporter to wire to his paper: "It's no
use, he makes no mistakes" There
was more than that to it, The heart /,
Of the man shone out through it as /,
a clear electric lamp shines out
through a translucent shade As we
