RUSSIA IS BRACING UP

Reports from day to day indicate that the New Russia soon is to find it's bearing and relieve the world of the anxiety that has been felt ever since the overthrow of the czar. It ap- pears now that there is a union of sentiment among the peasants, the soldiers and the working class for con- tinuing an offensive war against Ger many Added to this move is a sweep ing declaration from the Cossack lead CTS that they will stand by the new government in prosecuting the war. In a street demonstration in Petro- grad held to demand greater efforts in the war, hundreds of wounded and maimed soldiers marched, or were carried, all carrying banners urging the government to help defeat Ger many. The reception rendered the American commission headed by Eli hu Root shows a disposition inclined to advice that will be anything but withdrawal from the war and mal,ing a separate peace.

PLAN TO SELECT
 OFFICERS EXPLAINED
Best Qualified of All Reserve Candi- dates to be Selected of Regi
 ment Company Represents

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 26.- The policy of the war department
 with respect to men now under train ing to become reserve officers was out lined in a statement today by Adjut- ant General Mccain, stating the pro- cess to be followed with each class
 of candidates.
 "The best qualified of all reserve
 officers and candidates will be selected to become officers of the regiment
 which the training company repre- sents," it says, adding that these of- ficers will be supplemental to the men
 appointed from the regular service
 for each new regiment. The number of men to be taken in each grade
 cannot be decided until the number to come from the regulars had been determined. The remainder of the qualified men at the training camps
 will be commissioned as reserve of- ficers to aid in training of the new armies as additional officers of each regiment and this class will be drawn upon from the supply of temporary officers for the regulars and active of- ficers for the second 500,000 of the selective army.
 Tt is more a matter of enforcing a high standard than of approaching a large number" the statement adds, i"and it should be borne in mind that
 other training camps will follow if the
 war continues.
 "An excellent man with three months training is much superior to a weak man with a years training, hence it is better to rely on strong men, no matter how much time they
 have devoted to training" General Mccain says that only those men who give definite promise of being efficient officers with addi- tional training will be encouraged to repeat the course and enter the sec
 ond camp.

SANTIAGO WONDERFUL CITY

The series of pictures running in the Empress theatre under the cap tion of Travelogues, are quite inter- esting, but perhaps none are so in- teresting as those displaying the won- derful city of Santiago, capital of the republic which bears it's name, and a city of half million population.
 This beautiful city is situated about 2000 feet above sea level. in wide and beautiful plain, between the main range of the Andes and the smaller mountains of Cuesto Del Prado, 115 miles east of Valparaiso by rail. In the center of the city rises rocky eminence formerly strongly fortified, but about 20 years ago converted in- to pleasure gardens with theatres restaurants and monuments of pat riots and rulers of the country, and immediately to the north of the coun- try rises other eminences covered with snow and visible from the streets of the city. A swift mountain stream

lures. The city runs a municipal the atre where motion pictures and high class dramas are staged for the poor at a beggarly sum for admission.
 The industries at Santiago are var jed, agriculture and mining being the chief vacations. Her streets are clean ed night and morning, and disease is very little known.
 Many fine specimens of statuary carved by Italian maestros adorn her streets, that of O'Higgins being the most conspicuous. The population is cosmopolitan, consisting of many Americans, English and Germans, with a sprinkling of other nations. The highest class of mining and az ricultural machinery is used, and the city is covered by fine system of street cars, of the double-deck En- glish type.

PROCEEDS OF BALL
 GO TO RED CROSS

The proceeds of the Red Cross ball to be given Saturday night will go entirely to the National Organization. It is hoped that the response to the sale of tickets will be generous, as the Red Cross committee desires Val dez to make a good showing in the national movement to'raise funds for this worthy purpose. The ladies of the newly formed Red Cross Chapter have been asked to donate the lunch for the occasioa, and will probably do so. The proceeds from the ball will be added to the fund raised by sub scriptions the past week, and will make a good showing.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSIONS
 HEARD 40 MILES

LONDON, June 26.-The tremen- dous explosions that opened the Brit ish attack on Wytschaete Bend were heard by David Lloyd George, the British premier, who was staying, for the night at his residence, Walton Heath. The plans for the attack had been long maturing and when the preparations were perfected the prem fer was acquainted with the exact hour it was intended to open it.
 Accordingly, on retiring last night, Lloyd George gave orders to be call ed at o'clock in the morning. The premier and other members of the household clearly heard the detona- tions. as also did persons at the premier's official residence, in Lon don, who supposed they were the sounds of heavy guns until later they learned from the dispatches that they came from the explosion of mines.

flows directly thru the heart of the city, furnishing unlimited water power for all enterprises, and bril- liantly lighting the city.
 Ambrosio O'Higgins, the Liberator, made many important changes in the city, widening the streets, and pro- viding Prados and parks for the popu- lation. Several handsome bridges ov- CT two hundred years old and dating from the Spanish regime cross the stream in different parts of the city. The cathedral, situated on the Plaza de Independencia is the oldest of the many churches. It was originally erected by Pedro Valdivia and Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, is 351 feet long, 93 feet wide, but is not very beautiful in architecture. The Church of San Augustin erected in 1895, the churches of San Francisco, La Mer- ced, and Santo Domingo date from 170O, the Augustine nunnery from 1876, the Carmen Alto of church of the Carmelite nunnery, an elegant Gothic building; the stately church of the reformed Dominicans, rich in marble carvings, erected in 1852. The public cemetery, which is seoul arized, has large number of marble and bronze monuments imported from Italy, and others. Among the note worthy public buildings are the pal ace of the Intendency, the presidents palace, Called Las Cajas, the congress buildings, the mint, the municipal theatre, the temple of justice and many handsofe private edifices. San tiago has one of the largest univer- sities in the south, built in 1S42, the old university de San Filipe, estab- lished in 1747 having been closed in 1889. The present edifice occupies commanding position in the Alameda, and alongside stands the great Nation al institute of Secondary Education. The university at the present time has over 2000 scholars, and the Institute about 5000. The city also has School of Arts and Trades, a fine mu- sical conservatory, national museum and military school, and a school of agriculture. The National Library is magnificent collection of books, dating from 1880, especially rich in works relating to America. There is also a splendid library in the Insti- ute. Santiago has six daily papers, and a large number of weekly and monthly journals, Many tree plant ed avenues, such as the Alameda, Pla- ga de la Independence, the Canadilla, the Alameda de la Yuangay, the Cam DO de Marte, Artillery Park, the Quin- ta Normal de Agriculture, with large botanical and geological gardens.
 The prevailing winds at Santiago are from the south and southwest. On an average rain falls about PIG hours in the course of a year, mostly in the summer. Snow and hail are both extremely rare. Earthquakes are ire quent. In 1863 the Jesuit church at Santiago burned with loss of 20O0 lives.
 Citizens of the United States are often prone to smile at the South American countries but they have much higher state of civilization than we, when one compares their magni- ficent libraries, colossal architecture, and splendid educational struc-
