victory.
NO element in the military situa-
ton should lead us to conclude that
the initiative IN the west has passed
from the allies to the enemy.
For the past. two years the Ger
mans have been on the defensive in
the west The bold advertising of an
imposing offensive on the part of the
enemy. which, while in the realm of
possibility. and therefore should not
be neglected or overlooked, must in
no wise be interpreted to mean that
the increased strength of the hostile
forces will result in any permanent
startegic advantage to the Germans.
Surveying the outlines of the gen.
eral war strategy on all fronts, we find
that both belligerents have been on
the offensive during the past six
months.

Ferdinand Heinck has been on a
ranch in the Wenden mining district

aware of the fact that he had been

PEASANTS UPSET CAR
Elihu Root Tells How Easy Com
muuity Organizations Did 1t.

Washington, Aug. "a Russian re-
public is certain in the opinion of
Elihu Root the head of the Ameri-
can mission, which returned here to-
day from its three months visit to
report to President Wilson. In Mr.
Roots opinion, only the overwhelm-
ing of the country by German armies
can prevent the erection of the Rus
sian republic. Internal difficulties are
being overcome and the process of
Capitalization is going on rapidly.
The extreme elements which threat
ened serious trouble have been
brought under control and given due
ance as Americans can render in ma
terial and moral support, in Mr..
Roots opinion, the Russian republic
is certainty.
In explanation of the apparent ease
with which the Russian people have
thrown off the forms of a despotic
monarchy and turned SO readily to the
idea OF representative government Mr..
Root referred to the fact that the pop
ulation is nearly eighty per cent agri-
cultural. The peasant farmers had
long been accustomed to the idea of
local self government thru their
mayors in their little communities and
in a larger way thru the Zemstvos
which gathered in every district and
exercised large measure of control
over local affairs. 1t was compare
lively easy with their foundation to
expand the idea of local self govern
mont to national self government The
Russian people were accustomed to
council among themselves. making
representative gatherings easy.
