RUSSIANS RETREAT
ACROSS THE BORDER
LOYAL TROOPS COMPELLED TO
GIVE GROUND BEFORE
STRONGER FORCES.
French Troops in the Aisne Region
Have Turned in Vicious counterat-
tacks Against the Army of the
German Crown Prince.

Having retreated a distance of ap-
proximately 100 miles from where

Quoted driye early in the present
month, the Russian army on the CEN
ter of the line in east Galicia is again
on Russian soil on both sides of
Husiatyn, and.is Still being followed by
the forces of the TeutOnic allies.
Likewise the armies to the north and
south continue TO fall back before the
enemy. Wherever the faithful troops
attempt to give battle they are har-
raised by numerically stronger forces
of the TeutOns and compelled to give
ground, receiving no assistance from
their recalcitrant former brOthers-in-
arms, whose main effort continues to
be to get out of striking distance of
the enemy.
Evidently the preparations for the
blood and iron" policy of the govern
ment against the dissaffected troops
shortly will be put into full force, for
Minister of War Kerensky is on his
way to the Russian headquarters,
there to confer with the military lead
ers to formulate plans to stay the re-
treat and compel the troops to stand
and face the foe as the Russians in
the southern Carpathian region are
doing. Down along this latter front
the Russians, aided by the Rumainians,
continue to force the Teutonic allies to
cede ground, especially in the upper
Putna valley.
French troops in the Aisne region
have turned in vicious counter-attacks
against the army of the German crown
prince, put down an offensive it had
started between Hurtebise and La
Bovelle, and made good gains against
1t all along the line. Several attacks
by the Germans in the Verdun sector
were repulsed. The progress in Elan
ders for more than a week continues
undated.
In the air the machines of Great
Britain and Germany are carrying out
maneuvers never before seen. AS an
indication of the intensity of these
aerial combats, thirty German air
planes were accounted for in the latest
fighting, in addition to two observation
balloons. The British war office adj
mits that thirteen of the royal air
squadron failed to return to their
bases. The German war office asserts,
however, that thirty-t1ve British planes
were shot down.

The success, already evident, of the

Hoover, than our people have in four
The only need of legislation ana au-

More than two million women, Mr.

Success Question of Resources.
mo one can rightly be gloomy over
the outcome for the American people
in this war;" said Mr.. Hoover Sue
cess in this war is a question of re-
sources and the will and ability of the
people to organize themselves to use
them rightly and to endure. Many
thinking Americans and the whole
world has been watching anxiously the
last four months in the fear that dem
ocratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not
be DONE
Contrary proof Is Immediately at
our door and our people have already
demonstrated their ability to mobilize,
organize, endure and prepare voluntar-
lily and efficiently in many directions
and upon mere word Of inspiration,
aside from the remarkable assemblage
of our army and finances.
"We entered the war four months
ago and it was announced by the pres
ident that one of the great problems
of the war would be food. There has
been no consequential national or To-
cal legislation, yet the greatest spon-
taneous volunteer effort ever made in
history has not only provided us with
larger stock of food supply as a re-
suit of patriotic planting in every
quarter, but waste is being eliminated
out of every crack and Granny of our
homes and of our industries, and this
is being done without compulsion of
the law, but by spontaneous effort and
self-denial of the people.
Our present prospects indicate an
increase of production of cereals by
850,000,000 bushels. Literally millions
of new gardens have been planted or
extended everywhere. We have the
largest supply of vegetables ever in
our history"

1SKY LINE"' LOGGING LATEST
Modern METHODS Of Western Camps.
Said to Be Cheaper and More Effi-
cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and
Washington Skyline" method of log
ging is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method OF
dragging out logs from the forest by
a donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The skyline plan is to
run cable through blocks or pulIeys
suspended at a great height on giant
trees, so as to form a sort of trolley
line by which the logs are hoisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other obstruc-
tions to the rollway, where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one Of the main
lines, while the other is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
is lowered with it's block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked mp:
1t is then pulled taut, raising the log
with 1t by means of "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air log can, Of
course, be moved much faster than on
the ground

Westinghouse Wilson in a

of vast amounts of perishable fruits

81 Die Every Minnie

The annual death rate of the human
race is 100000. That's $1,000 a
day, 300 every hour, 81 every min
ute. 0ne-half of the human race die
before they are sixteen years old; one
quarter of the human race die before
they are five years old. The average
length of human life is thirty-three
and one-third years. Not one man or
one woman in million lives to be
one hundred years old. But don't let
this discourage you from taking as
good care of your health as if it were
a new motorcar.

The up-to-date anchor does not at
all resemble its familiar predecessor,
but is fitted with bali and socket joints
instead of having shank, and is made
of a very strong cast steel. Most Of
the anchors made in the United States
come from the vicinity of Chester, Pa.
The anchor, which is supposed to be
the largest In the world, weighs ten

MAY CHECK SUBMARINES.
Believed U-5oat Base on North Sea
Can BE Stamped Out.

Washington.-The Britlsh-French as
sault on Che German right flank has
made profound impression here be-
cause, in the Judgment of many Am
erican army officers, it is directed at
the most vulnerable point on the en-
tire German front.
Complete success for the allies,
sweeping the German line back from
the sea along the entire Belgian coast,
would be an immediate answer to the
U-boat warfare. The main North sea
bases for U-boat operations would be
stamped out. Behind that achievement
then would stand the possibility that
the entire German line In France could
be endangered by flank attack.

cHILEANs FAVOR AMERICANS.

The young Chilean is rapidly abb
sorbing American ideas of business
and politics. The Union club, the
most exclusive in Santiago, grants
temporary membership to foreigners.
The majority of these temporary
members are Americans, for the
English and Germans have their own
clubs. Everywhere the American
and Chilean are meeting with in
,reased goodfellowship. Last year
two young American engineers rep
resenting great copper company
gave Washington's birthday dinner
in Santiago, and all of the guests
we're Chileans. One of the Ameri-
cans got into an argument with a
Chilean over some point in revolu-
tionary history. He found that the
Chilean knew more about it than
he did himself. For Washington
and Lincoln are embodiments OF ma
tional ideals to the Chileans no less
than to ourselves. There is scarcely
a town in Chile that has not its
"calle Washington" and there are
many statues of Washington in the
