RUSSIANS AGAIN IN TROUBLE.

It might have been expected that the kaiser would continue picking on Russia. When we consider the deplorable situation in Slavdom-the lack of coordination among the fac tions of the population, the serious unrest among the peasants and sol diers, and the instability of the po- litical situation--it appears huge task for the Russians to lew to the line.
 Kerensky undoubtedly ls a great man; but there is the proba bility that the task is too heavy for even such a wonderful leader of men. And so Hindenburg, noting the perpetual weakness of the allied armies on the eastern front, has evidently decreed that conditions are ripe fer another. thrust.
 Coming at time when the Anglo.s French have been in the midst of a big drive on the western front, it is evident that the German commander in chief is willing to risk severe beating on the west in order to gain a better advantage in the east.

WAR PUTS JEWELRY UP.
Small Diamonds Have Increased From
 S36 Carat to $24O.

Tho cost of high living as we'll as the high cost of living has been in- creased by the world war.
 Even diamonds cost more. That is especially true of the small stones, which have greater market than the large ones. Before the war they could be bought for $36 a carat. and now they are selling at $40. The duties on diamonds are almost prohibitive. The ante-bellum import duty of 10 per cent has been doubled, and in ad- dition there has been levied per cent from Africa to London, 6 per cent from London to Amsterdam, and 6 per cent from Amsterdam to America. Clock and watch repairing has be- come an expensive and difficult busi- ness, on account of the impossibility to secure many of the finer parts. Many of these were made in the con tral empires, which source of supply is naturally cut off. And American manufacturers havenot yet been able to wholly meet the demand of tho trade. For instance, jewellers saws, used in the delicate scroll work, could be bought before the war at 60 cents to S1.20 a gross, now they are selling at from $6 to SPA. Labor is also scarce and high, and the jewl,rs are having anything but an easy time.

MOONEY GETS NEW
 TRIAL IN FRISCO
 BOMB PLOT CASE
Cattleman Accused of Civ ing False Testimony To
 Convict Labor Leader.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 29.-Frank c. Oxman, cattleman of Durkee, Ore., was arrested at his home last April after F. E. Rigall, of Grayville, H., told the police here that Oxman sought to induce him to give false testi- mony against Thomas J. Mooney, who is under sentence of death for nlur- der growing out of the bomb eXplos- ion in San Francisco, July P, 1916, which killed ten persons. The war rant, charging subornation of per jury, wassworn to by Attorney Edwin Mckenzie, one of the counsel for Mrs. Rena Mooney, recently acquitted of one of nine indictment for murder re- sulting from the explosion. She is the trial that he had seen Mooney and wife of Thomas J. Mooney.
 Oxman testified at the sT. J. Mooney three of the defendants in the bomb murder cases at the scene of the ex- plosion shortly before it occurreed. His testimony fitted perfectly the theory of the prosecution. In published statements jurors in the case declared that Oxman's testimony was most vi- tai and that the verdict was based largely on his statements. ..5l
 Rigall charged in police court that Oxman, whom he had known years ago, wrote him several letters asking him to come to San Francisco and testify, although he charged, Oxn3an knew Rigall was not in California on the day of the tragedy Rigall said "Oxman offered to coach me in the testimony was to give and promised me a substantial reward" A grand jury investigation produced no action against Oxman and warrant against him was soon sworn out.
 Immediately after his arrest Oxman declared his innocence, empolyed coun- sel and despite legal fight which be- gan in police court and which went to the supreme court on habeas corpus proceedings, he was held to answer to the superior court and was released on bail.
 In the light of Rigall's charges and the letters he produced, which Oxman admitted having written, Superior Judge Franklin A. Griffin, who tried and sentenced Mooney, asked the state to grant Thomas J. Mooney retrial. In pursuance of this request Attorney General H. S. Webb of California re- gently filed in the supreme court con- sent to a new trial, as Mooney's ap- peal from conviction was pending in

A "DELIBERATE 'ACT."

The blast at the Mare Island navy yard, which caused the Navy league and Secretary Daniels to fight a verbal duel, was undoubtedly de liberate act" and the report of the navy department following an inves- &igation bears out what the Navy league claimed in the first place. The naval secretary, however. de clares that no worllmen iii the yard was to blame, which was contrary to the expressed statement of the Navy league, which declared the navy department feared to fix the blame on the naval laborers.
 The report of the navy depart :ment on the explosion indicates that the spy syetem of Germany, which has as part of it's tunctioning the destruction of plants in government :, service, is still operating. Ever and anon we hear of fires and explosions of mysterious nature, and ire Quently no blame can be definitely attached to anyone. In such cases sit appears,it is perfectly safe to as sume that the kaiser's satraps in this country have been at work.
 That they are able to do their work inside navy yard is an eye opener. If this is the case, they might also work aboard . warship Nothing but the utmost vigilance more rigid than any heretofore at tempted twill prevent potential dis aster.

RAILROADS ARE SOURCE 0f WORRY
 ID RUSS LEADERS
Reorganization Growing Worse and By November
 Operations May End.

Moscow, Aug. 29.-At the third gen. eral sitting of the national conference railway representatives including M. Froloff of the engineers alliance re- ported that there existed a state of utter disorganization of transporta- iion which, unless improved, would cease completely by November. The representatives gave warning that-the consequences would be terrible both at home and on the front and that the army might turn on the country and commit unexampled excesses.
 The extreme demands of the rail- way workers, the speakers said, play ed an important part in this disorgan- ization. They called on those engag- ed in the transportation services to sacrifice personal interest for those of the country.
 NJ. Grusenberg, speaking for the Jews, representatives of Ukraine, of White Russia, Courland and delegates representing the Mussulman alliance declared their willingness to make sacrifices for the good of the country and for defense against the enemy
 General Alexieff, former comman- der-in-chief, drew contracts between the army of the old regime, poorly equipped but strong in warlike spirit, and the present army we'll supplied with food and arms, but completely poisoned and enfeebled by ill-inter- preted and il-applied doctrines which have been put forward, had split the army in two opposite camps, officers and soldiers, which have become al- most irreconcilable.
 Speaking of the committees elect ed by the soldiers of the various units General Alexieff said they were use full to the army from an economic standpoint but were fatal to discip- line of the troops. None the less subversive was the influence of gov ernment commissaries whose appoint ment he asserted, created an extreme ly dangerous duality of power f~
 The general declared that after publication by the government of the declaration of the rights of soldiers, all respects toward leaders disappear ed, the officers becoming veritablc martyrs and having to pay dearly for the offensive of August 1. and the. subsequent retreat. The general cit cd some remarkable illustrations of this. On one occasion, he said when an attack was being launched the force which advanced was made up of 2S officers, 20 non-commssioned of ficers and two soldiers. All the other. looked on coldly, while these heroes perished.
 The general declared it would be impossible to carry the war to a vic torlous conclusion unless the strong est possible efforts were made by the provisional government and by the troops themselves to rcanimate and regenerate the army.

care to fight on alone with their Austrian ally on hec. knees.
 Though the allies probably are not 'deluded into thinking the capture of Vienna is a near consummation, it is evident that they realize much good can come from an Italian success. It was with this end in view that they loaned British and French guns and gunners to the Italians, and it is these who have been wrecking Aus trian defenses along the 100-mile line and paving the way for the taking of thousands of prisoners.
 The hard nut that the Italians have had to crack-due to the mountainous character of the country facing them may yet prove acceptable allied squirrel food. The drive toward Vi enna may yet be a possibility with the help of British and French guns and men-and Americans.
