STRANGE SORT OF WbRFA IS

Austrian Officers Say the Russians DeCOy the
 Enemy and are in
 Turn Shot Down

VIENNA, Sept. 8.-The Russian offensive against the Austro-Hun- garion troops is being conducted ac- cordlng to Austrian officers return ed from the front, with tactics that hardly have a precedent in tho his. tory Of the wars of the world.
 These tactics are briefly to an- nihilatc the Austrians by forcing the Russian. soldiers Co advance in their own artillery fire drawing Che Austrians from their bombprooi and shelproof shelters into hand-to- hand combat. and then moving them down, both Austrians and Russians by whitening drumfire Great Russian losses. it is claimed are due Go this method of warfare
 The Russian method Of attack in the Bukowina and Volhynia, the Austriaus say consists Of artillery preparation lasting from twenty-four Go fortyeight hours Then come Che first Russian infantry troops, in from six to fourteen rows driven forward by Russian machine guns and by Cossacks armed with the dread ed "Nagaikas' or lead-tipped whips
 As they advance ithe Russian ar duery fire abates somewhat but between 1t and the Austrian fire faom 20 to 50 per cent of the first troops sometimes reach the tren ches Their arrival naturally forces the Ausrians to abandon their shel ters. and as soon as they do SO the Russian drumiire begins again.
 In both the Bukowina and Vol hynia oGensives 1t is estimated that the Russians use up about two mil lion shells every day-shells of Rus sian. Japanese and American make and thrown from every calibre ol gun, including naval pieces appar enuy dismounted from warships.

Urging Conservation.

Clifford Pinchot, the great advocate
of Conservation, has sent out to the
newspapers the following, which
should commend itself to all who are
interested in this very live subject.
EDITOR CLARION:
Il write to ask your help to
defeat most serious attack on our
public resources. Since the fight
over the Alaska resources was won
there has not been SO pressing threat
against the Conservation policy as
the present effort in Congress to give
our public water powers for nothing
into monopolistic control.
THE Shields Bill, now before the
Senate, gives to the power interests
without compensation the use of
water power OH navigable streams.
The amount of water power these
streams will supply is larger by far
than all the power of every kind now
in use in the United States. 1t pre-
tends to, but does not, enable the
people to take back their own proper
ty at the end of fifty years, for in Or
der to do SO under the bill, the Gov
ernment would have to pay the un-
earned increment, and to take over
whole lighting systems Of cities and
whole manufacturing plants. Private
corporations are authorized to seize
upon any land, private or public,
they choose to condemn.
Bills which gave away public
waters powers without due compen-
sation were vetoed by President
Roosevelt and President Taft. The
Shields Bill would do precisely the
same thing today.
Another water power bill, the
Ferris Bill, relating to the public
lands and National Forests, was in
the mail a good bill as it passed the
House. AS reported to the Senate,
it encourages monopoly by permit

Annapolis, Feb. 22,-Being of a

discouraged, Josiah A. Remsburg, OF

General Assembly to reimburse him

ease and pests.
A similar bill has been introduced
at practically every session of the

stroyed. Sometimes the bills have
passed, only to be vetoed by the Gov

introduced by Senator Kaufman,
asks for total appropriation of
