Petroleum in Russia.

F-o,n Inc Geographical Review.
one OF Russia'2 valuable natural re-
sources is her petroleum. In this Amer
lea is her successful rival. Her prlnci-
pal oil wells. discovered centuries ago
by fire worshipera. We're badly injured
by having water turned into them dur
ing the revolution of l9o5-19os. In 1901
the output of Russian petroleum was
so s per cent of the y hole world & prod
uct. while the American petroleum was
only Az per cent. The Russian pro-
duction in 1901-l905 fuctuated 10 per
cent. but the American production was
developing more rapidly. and Russia
began to lose. 50 that in 1913 Russia
had only is per cent and the nited
states 60 per cent of the worlds output
~ petroleum. but the export Of naphtha
and naphtha products from Russia
reached S.4.o0n.000 in that year.
Russia is also rich in copper. AN I'M
computed wealth. In this industry
America is again her more than sue
cessful rival. producing 50 per cent of
the worlds total output. while Russia
uses xbou, 1000 tons of American cop
per year-after il has been metamor
phssed in Germany into lamp burners,
etc. Nevertheless, Russia has extern
sly e. copper ore in the Ural mountains,
the Caucasus, in the Altai mountains
sndfn Siberia. In that part of the Urals
which extends into the arctic immense
beds Of copper have been discovered.

A Routed Army Finds Itself.

Standing on the plateau of Saffas and
facing east. the whole country unfolded
again. as it did at the Grand Mont.
The face of the plateau is scanned with
trenches. They follow the slopes, and
the village of Saffais stands out like a
promontory. ON this ridge the French
had massed 300 cannon. Their army
had come back in ruins. and to steady
troops from Alsace. Muihausen was
sacrificed TO save Nancy. Behind these

this had come the victorious Germans.
They had debouched from the wood
they had approached the river, hidden
under the slope. but. swept by the hell
of this artillery storm. they had broken.
But few had lived TO pass the river.
none had mounted the slopes. There
were almost 10 graves along these
trenches. Afterward The Germans had

Author Of "The Great War

Downright 1915 the Tribune Association 1.-THE
New York Tribune.
In the third week of August, 1914, a
French army crossed the frontier of Al
Lorraine and entered the Promised
Land toward which all Frenchmen had
looked in hope and sadness for forty
four years The long-forgotten com
nluniuues of that early period OF the
war reported success after success. I'M
til at last il was announced that the
victorious French armies had reached
Ssrrebourg and Morhanse. and We're
astride the Strassburs- Metz railroad.
And then Berlin took up the cry. and
France and the world learned of a great
German victory and of the defeat and
rout of the invading army. Even Paris
conceded that the retreat had begun and
the army of liberation was crowding
back beyond the frontier and far within
French territory.
Then the curtain of the censorship fell
AID the world turned to the westward to
witch the terrible battle for Paris. In
tM agony and glory of the Marine the
sruggle along the Moselle was forgot
ten: the battle of Nancy, of Lorraine
was fought and won in the darkness
and when the safety of Paris was as
sured the world looked toward the
Aisne, and then toward Flanders. So it
came about that one OF the greatest
battles of the. whole war one of the
most important of the French victories
