Piled High With Supplies.
All things consumed in the town and
all the adjacent territory must be I'M
ported, as locally there are only
bricks, matches, lumber and bad
beer to be had. No risk Of seizure be-
ing foreseen, great speculative possi-
bilities being open to traders, and the
port offering the best means Of send
Ing provisions and munitions to Rus
sia, combined to produce an extraor-
dinary state Of affairs in that far
away city. There Is a perfect glut OF
coal, kerosene, cotton, -four aud MUM
tiOns OF all kinds waiting for further
transportation and with no protection.
European express trains could traV-
erse the long distance between PetrO-
grad and Vladiyostok In less than
week but 1t Is not possible 10 run
trains over the Siberian railway Mt
such high speeds. as the road Is con
structed lightly. SO the journey re-
quires nine days, and previous to the
war was done twice weekly by express
trains. The fare was more than $2I5,
the difficulties varying from sheets
and soap to pistols and mosquito wells.
The plan to construct this great
Russian railway was started as early
as 1875, but II was not begun until
1891. The VladivOstok station was

Is an excellent building, but has been
used so much for the coming and GO
ing Of troops that its dirt and dllapida-
tion make the weary traveller feel as
though he had stepped into an aban-
doned emigration camp. Very light
rails are used on the tracks Of the
Trans Siberian road but Russian en-
gineers believe In very heavy ties;
timber may be had for the asking, so
half deeply embedded in ballast, to
give the tracks the strength Americans
provide with heavier rails.
Il 10 a Free Port.
The importance of Vladivostok lies
in the fact that 1t is the natural ware
house of this vast region, both from
commercial and military point OF
view. Russia, China, Korea and Japan
are all interested in its trade and
connected with 1t by railroad or ship
communications. 1t has been free
port and Russia has been remarkably
liberal in encouraging other nations
in helping her to build up an ever
growing traffic and develop the re-
sources Of rich inland frontier.
Germany Is fully alive to the value
Of this trade, whose value Is ever
growing; and when the war gamble Is
over she would like to possess 1t. The
presence of large Korean agricultural
communities very near, great Chinese
immigration tide surging in the dis
trict, the unceasing activity Of the
Japanese fishing boats that trade
along the coast, the fact that Euro
pean culture Ia not yet definitely es-
tablished-all these things appeal 10
the German mind with visions of pos
slbilities for the future.
Vladivostok Is immensely strong as
a naval fortress, being surrounded by
76 forts on the seawsrd side, but at
the rear there Is a great open country
that now lies at the mercy Of boil
sheviki sympathizers and German
spies. Russia's chief dread has been
of nearby Japan; so her fertilization
Of vladivostok has all pointed toward
that power that lies only 450 miles
across the Japan sea.

German Civilization
Shown in Cartoons

Pictures have already played an i'm.
portant part in educating public senti,
ment IN matters pertaining TO the pres,
ent world war. OF the many kinds OF
pictures used for this purpose none
have been more effective than the car,
toons IN our daily and weekly papers
and OF the cartoons thus far publish,
ed probably the most telling have been
those done by Louis Raemakers. for
merly the cartoonist on the Amster-
dam. Holland, Telegraf.
In these cartoons RaemakerS has
exposed the kultur OF the Germans.
He has opened the eyes OF the world
to the Nervousness OF German ruth
1esSness as, perhaps, no other man has.
He has presented with relestlesS satire
the hOrrid actualities OF the German
atrocities. He handles his pencil like
. scourge and hurls against the Prus-
sian very damnation OF design. He
Is not primarily concerned with draw
ing pictures of things. His concern is
to express thoughts through the form
OF pictures. He does not care whether
the Crown Prince or the Kaiser actual
y look IS he depicts them: for he is
not drawing them but what he thinks
Of them. It is enough il his vision OF
them be recognized; it is more if his
vision Of them gives to the eye not
the mere facts about their Qesh but
what be has to say about their souls.
As an example OF what these car
toonS are designed to accomplish a de-
,Scription OF one Of them is here given.
The picture represents the Kaiser in
the cloak and SLOUGH hat OF the con-
EsntionaI desperate, wiping bloody
knife beside a bed In which lie four
murdered children. The portrayal here
has nothing to do with the literal fact.
The desperate does not look much like
the Kaiser. He never wore such
clothes, nor probably has he ever per-
sonaHy killed or even hurt a child.
But m this IS bend the point. The
Kaiser did have the Lusitania sunk;
the Kaiser die send forth the Zeppe-
! lin SaidS over harmless towns. AnC
