The next president must be a strong
man. He will have to confront a
group of Reds" who, failing to OBJ
tain what they want through avowed-
" socalistic organizations, are now
trying to gain contrct Of the labor
unions. Their purpose is to establish
soviet government and to take the
property of the country.
They may cause many strikes. some
Of which will not be to obtain i'm
mediate betterment of working condi-
tons, but to perfect the striking pow
err of organizations in the cause Of
sovietism. Many union men will be
deceived as to the purpose.
The mass of the people do not
want any revolution. They do not
propose that property that has been
honestly acquired shall be seized.
It is going to take a man of great
fairness of mind and strength of will
to meet all the angles of the situation.
He must be fair to the labor unions.
He must recognize that they have in
the past accomplished great deal of
good. But he must realize also that
some groups of people are likely to
demand too much.
A man is wanted in the White
House who is strong enough to defy
threats and bluffs. He must see that
unionized groups get generous treat
ment, but also, that they do not by
force secure more than their share of
benefits. to the ruin of others.

order to surround at least the main
body of the Narew army. We had to
confine ourselves to this plan. if we
wished to succeed,
The attack by the LIST and Goth
army corps had to be postponed to the
21th, though / should have been glad
to see it begin earlier; but the LIST
army corps was not yet ready, the
condition of the railways in East
Prussia being far from good. General
Won Francois, commanding the list
army corps. quite rightly insisted on
concentrating the whole of his corps
before attacking.
But matters did not develop as
smoothly as would appear from this
81 ort sketch. All the troops We're ex-
ceedingly exhausted. and strengths
had been reduced by continual fight
ing. Many difficulties We're met with
in the transmission of orders to the
LIST reserve corps and the 18th army
corps. Enemy cavalry patrols rem
dered that zone unsafe. 1t was doubt
full whether the enemy would give us
time to carry out our plans.
(Presence of enemy patrols in the
rear of these two corps would indicate
that Rennenkampf got reports of Ger
man weakness on his 'front.'
Still Haunted BY Sad Sights.
But the greatest difficulties were
due to the refugees, numbering many
thousands, some on foot and some in
vehicles, who blocked the roads be-
hind Won Scholtz's force. They hung
on to the troops, and a sudden retreat
on the part of this army group would
| have had the most distressing conse-
quences, both for refugees and SOL
diers. But it could not be avoided, for
| the few police We're not sufficient to
take charge of such masses. We had
to put up with them. The memory of
the many sad sights then saw haunts
me still.
on the cath and 25th of August our
! headquarters were at Rosenberg, and
on the 26th at Lobau. We took advan.
tage of these last two days to get into
touch with commanders and men in
various parts
On the evening of the 26th the po-
sitions of both sides were somewhat
as follows:

the LIST army corps under his orders
with portions of the garrisons of the

itself had been concentrated at the
south of Montowo. and had fought Its
way as far as Usdau, which was
strongly held by the Russian LIST corps
General Won Francois was ready t.
continue his advance on the 27th.
To the right wing of the reinforced
goth army corps had been allotted the
task of attacking Usdau from the
north, and then joining hands with
the LIST army corps in its later adj
vance upon Neidenburg. The 41st
infantry division was to march upor

on their left a Landwehr brigade, the

Our decision to give battle arose out
of the slowness of the Russian leader
ship and was considered by the ncces-
sity of winning in spite of infertority
in numbers yet / found it immensely
difficult to take this momentous step.
The nth army corps and lst re-
serve corps came up august 20 in
the rear of the Narew army, which
was advancing from Neidenburg to
Allenstein. (These corps were about
20 to 25 miles to the east of Alien
stein, facing south, while the general
Russian advance was facing north
westward) In this way the TWO corps
exposed their rear without adequate
protection to Rennenkampfs army,
which was only two or three days
march away Cless than forty miles to
the northeasD.
When the battle began in real earn
est on the 27th, and in contrast to
previous wars, was not finished in
one day, but continued until the Goth,
Rennenkampf's formidable host hung
like a threatening thunder cloud to
the northeast. lie need only have
closed with us and we should have
been beaten. But Rennenkampf
brought his army forward over the
Allenburg- Gerdauen- Nordenberg line
so slowly that We had time to win a
brilliant victory.
Only the 1st cavalry division re-
manned in contact with Rennenkampf,
near Schippenbeil and to the south.
From this division, also on the 26th
the LIST cavalry brigade received the
order to advance via Rossel on Sens
! burg.

the River Pregel, facing "a very
strong infantry and several cavalry
divisions of Rennenkampf's. The de-
| fensive chain of lakes was thus open
/ on the vest and in any case it would
have been quite easy to turn it and
completely isolate Konigsberg.
Few knew the anxiety with which
watched the Niemen army during
those long days.
(Russian divisions were organized
on a basis of about $4,000 men and
two formed an army corps. which
with added troops, ran as nigh as
10000 men. Thus Rennenkampf prob
ably had a minimum, with his "a in

Before the Albuquerque Journal
knew that Japanese We're spying out
the land in New Mexico, this paper
warned the communities what to eX-
pect from the aggressive Asiatics who
are crowding the Pacific coast. Since
then Japanese colonization agents and
excursionists have been taken to the
Portales valley to investigate. Also
a bunch of the colonists inspected the
Estancia valley. The Mesilla valley
has some japanese truck growers.
Some land owners there are said to
have considered leasing to 40 Japa-
nese families. The cantaloupe interests
Whereabouts are partly in the hands
of japanese. who may get entire con-
troll as they have done in the Rocky
Ford district of Colorado. The Las
Cruces Republic states that there was
recently organized at the Dona Ana
county farm bureau an association to
fight japanese colonization. Strong
resolutions were passed, and the or
ganizaton is planning ways and
means for carrying out these resolu-
tons
The Republic, after stating that the
office has had considerable printing
to do for Japanese colonists which il
does not longer expect, says;
Every citizen of this valley who
! doesn't wish for the time to come
when California's problem shall be-
come the problem of this valley,
should apply for membership in this
organization.
While the Japanese born parents
are not and cannot become citizens
yet these children, born of the pic
ture" brides imported for breeding
purposes, are therefore born citizens
and can and do become land owners
Thus is the "gentleman's agreement
broken by eastern sublety.
The Republic docs not deny that q
Jap will make more money for a large
land owner than will an American
farmer; that he will live and grow fat

vigil olstein, where up to now it had
been employed in guarding the canal
and the coast. 1t was to take Hohen-
stein from the northwest.
(The front to be attacked south of
Allenstein was about 20 miles long
from Usbau to Hohenstein))
The 1st reserve corps reached the

The 18th army corps had been en-

had driven it back in the direction of
Bischofsburg. The 9Th Landwehr
brigade, which had advanced on the
Gath and 25th from Lotzen to the
northwest of Bischofsburg. had taken
a successful part in the action. (The
attacking front northeast of Allenstein
was about Is miles)
The attack on Usdau was to begin

against Lautenberg and Strasburg $50
and 65 miles southwest of Allenstein.
The battle line there was thus about
90 miles. This represented SIX army
corps and other forces in the advance
battle line, about 100000 men at the
minmum),
1t was a question of breaking up
this movement of the enemy by an
attack from the west with the south

n great temptation to attack stimuli

Must Attack and Not Fail.
In order to allow the nth army
corps and the LIST reserve corps icon

make their full striking power felt,
the other groups of the Sth army had,
of course, to attack. And whatever
happened they had not to let them
selves be beaten.
The reinforced goth army corps had
passed through difficult and exhaust
ing days. On the 23rd it stood. facing
south, on the heights northeast OF
Gilgenburg, while the enemy was APP
preaching from Neidenburg, that is,
from the southeast The 3rd reserve
division was still assembling. The 1st
army corps had just began to detrain
near Deutsch- Eylau.
General Won Scholtz was successful
in beating off superior enemy forces,
but whilst holding the heights east of
| Gilgenburg he was obliged to with
draw his left flank sharply west OF
Hohenstein, about as far as Mullen
Although uncomfortable for the
troops, this movement had it's good
| points, for the Russians thought they
| had won. They did not believe in any
| further German resistance, still less in
a German attack. They saw the road
open into German territory east of the
| yistula.
On the 24th we got into touch with
( General Won Scholtz and actually met
4 him at Tennenberg. He and his chief
of staff, Colonel He'll, were to dis
tinguish themselves in The course OF
the war and leave their names to

General Won Schultz gave us a lucid
account of the great achievements OF
the troops under his command since
the beginning of the campaign. and
the great difficulties encountered In

that the enemy would attack him
again, but that he would be able tt
