GENERAL ROUT OF
RUSSIANS STAYED
KERENskY's IRON RULE HAS
CAUSED STIFFENING OF THE
RUSS DEFENSIVE.
Austro-G German Forces Meeting With
Sitter Opposition Between Pruth
and Sereth RiVers.-canadians
Make Successful Thrusts.

London.-PreInier Kerensky's "rule
of iron" is apparently asserting itself
among the fighting forces. Indications
point to a certain rehabilitation of
the army. at least for the time being.
Only in the army in the southern most
part of Bukowina is there continued
mention of instability.
Although further reverses were re-
ported for some of the Russian forces
at different points of the line, the set
backs are not the general rout of the
army which was manifest when the
Russians fled In wild disorder before
the onward march of the Teutonic
forces.
Southeast Of Czernowitz, between
the Pruth and the Sereth rivers, re
sistance is developing. Although they
were pressed back, the Russians Of
fered sitter opposition to the Austro-
German forces. The Teutonic forces
captured four villages and the town
of Sadautz, in the region of the Such
owa valley, but only after the Rus
slams had fought hard to retain the
positions, retiring only in the face of
overwhelming forces of the enemy.
Aside from the Russian theatre, the
hostilites on all the fronts are virtu-
| ally at n standstill. Bombardments,
at some points, attaining fairly violent
proportions, and at various places
small infantry maneuvers have not
taken on the aspect of a contemplated
resumption of the big allied drive
which the bad weather of last week
brought to an abrupt end.
The Canadians, operating against
Lens, have again made thrusts of 9

the already encompassed coal center
which apparently cannot long with

MOST SUICIDES IN THE WEST
Explained by Large Number Of Health
and Fortune Seekers Who Co 60 j.
That Section Of Country.


The most suicidal city in the United
States is San Diego. Cal. which had
suicidal rate in 1915 Of 63.3 per 100000
people; the least is Holyoke, Mass,
where the rate for the same year was
81, says Worlds Work. In 100 cities
the suicide rate for 1915 was 20.3 per
100000 people. Figures running back
ten years show precisely the same or
der Of precedence in different parts of
the United States. The eastern states
have the lowest rate-from 1910 to
1914 1t was 16.5-the southern states,
come next, and then the rate increases
progressively as one goes west, reach
Ing the highest rate on the acific
coast, and especially in California.
Certain explanations come immedi-
ately to mind. California attracts
many invallds, and dependency over
their physical condition may increase
the suicide percentage of the state.
The Rocky mountain and Pacific states
also draw thousands of men who are
seeking their fortunes-and a large
proportion fail in the quest The East
and South are more settled in their
ways, less subject to sudden business
and social upheavals and consequently
more the home of steadygoing people.
The West Is more adventurous and
still attracts a considerable number
of people whose varying temperaments
and varying fortunes might easily ex-
plain its greater tendency to self
murder.

eral Crowder and his assistants are
at work on the final set of regulations
to be promulgated this week to com
plete the organization of the selective
draft war army. They will govern ac-
tual mobilization of the men selected.
Statements issued by the war de-
partment show that the preliminary
figures place the total force of national
guard taken into the federal service
August 8 at 1908 officers and 419.S34
men. Another statement showed that
1S0,766 war volunteers have been re-
cruited for the regular service since
April 1, leaving only about 1000 vacan-
cies in the regulars at war strength.
These figures mean that approxi-
mately 725,0O0 men are now under
arms, exclusive of the navy and ma
rine corps, to be supplemented within
the next few weeks by 6S7.O00 raised
under the selective draft bill. OF the

The Human Side of Tactics

Here is quite remarkable and out-of-

IL is notable becaue it gives the human

often seem arbitrary.
Books on tactics are USUALLY dry as

should employ popular writer. like Kip

organization that neglects the invaluable

For instance, million men are coming
now under rigorous discipline. How many
of them know why? Major Vane tells
us: TO get into the place in which you
are wanted in the quickest and quietest
manner is the reason of all drill and its
sole excuse Which is a mighty whole
