The Last OF the Caribs.

The Carib Indian was the first rep

meet the tide Of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured Il

How many thousands Of Carlbs
dwelt in the West Indies in 1892 is
largely matter Of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand Of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war. Today it IS doubtful
whether there are a hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
Of them live on the British island OF
Dominica, on reservation set apart
for them called Salybla.

20 vessels now in course of construction

siderable future for the business in
this section. as long as the demand is

HOPE Of SHORT WAR
DASHED BY RUSSIA
ARMY AUTHORITIES RECOGNIZE
THAT MONTHS MUST ELAPSE
BEFORE VICTORY CAN COME
Russian Collapse Will Release German
Forces to Bolster Up Teuton Line
on Western Front, Where Ameri-
can Troops Are to Be Engaged.

Washington.-No attempt is made
here to minimize the seriousness Of
the situation in the war theatres IN
Europe. The United States is in the
war and will 20 through with it; but
any hope Of a short struggle has gone
glilnmering with the apparent almost
complete collapse of the Russian war
machine
The development was not unexpect-
ed by many army officers. When the
offensive Of July ! was started by
the Russian forces. the most frequent
comment heard here was that it was
probably the dying kick of the old
Russian machine.
For the United States the Russian
collapse may have an immediate and
direct bearing. 1t will. if the German
general staff presses its advantage, re-
lease additional German forces TO boil
ster up the western front where the
American troops are TO be engaged
The German line in the west has not
been seriously impaired at any point
officials here believe.
Germans Improve Weakest Front.
Ii has been noted. in fact, that the
one strategic advantage gained in re-
cent fighting was gained by the Ger
mans. Many officers here believe that
when a small sector of the British line
in Belgium was overwhelmed the Ger
mans improved their weakest front
materially. That view is based on
opinion that the only hope of decisive
attainments for the allies in the west
! lies in rolling up the German right
| flank where il reaches the sea in Bel
| GUM.
If that could be done. it is argued
that the U-boat bases could be stamped
out and the only offensive instrument
of the Germans be eliminated entirely
or made ineffective.
1t would require combined army and
navy operations. for ii would be neces
sary to force landing behind the Ger
man line and force the whole right
flank back from the sea as result.
The price of such a victory agains
the U-boats and German shore bat
teres probably would be appalling, anC
there is nothing to indicate that th'
effort is being seriously considered.
Allies Can Hold Line.
Reports from France. official ant
unofficial, so far as known, give NJ
cheering picture of what must be done
There appears no doubt that the allie'
line can stand against any force Ger
many can bring against it. Even tn
Russian disaster does not affect tina
situation. But to gather the necessar
strength for n successful offensive vii
take time and ample sea transporta
ton facilities if the United States i
to furnish the needed surplus of mer
airplanes munitions and food.
The transportation problems befor
the United States. both on land an
sea. are constantly Increasing in scop,
II seems certain now that whole raj
road systems will have to Ice set Il
in France To give the American lin
the flow of war materials and me
that il must have TO press home a
