Dr. L Ricen Intimates Anxiety to Vindicate Glory of Arms Responsible for War. 1851 -63i A nniversary Sale-1914 SUCCESS ASSURANCE GIVEN SOLDIERY IS CRITICISED Czar Declared to Have Inherited Moral Obtuseness From Ills Father and Grandfather, Whose Sins Are Told. BY DR. RICEN. After its humiliating defeat by Ja pan. Rusela has been looking for an occasion to vindicate the honor and glory of her arms. This entanglement between Servla and Austria served her good purpose. Russia took advan tage of the situation and offered her assistance! to her brother Slavs, but her help is not wanted. Russia Is fore lng her help on the Servians today for her own selfish purposes as she did witii the Bulgarians In 1877-78. If Russia annexes Servia, the latter will be much worse off under the Rus sian government than under the Aus trian, but Is Russia going to come out victorious In this war with Germany and Austria? Although this Is difficult to foretell positively, it Is highly probable that Russia will lose, provided Germany does not repeat the mistake of Xapo leon and does not go too far into the Interior of Russia. All things being equal, the Russian army does not stand any show at all in a conflict with the German army. Rnaslan Soldiers Contracted. I had a chance to observe closely the life of both the Russian and German soldiers and officers and it must be admitted that the Russian soldiers are eadly in need of that order and system for which the Germans are known all over the world. The Germans are or derly and systematic in everything they undertake, as well as in their pri vate lives, and they seem to have an innate sense of order. They also have a clear Idea of duty, thqt idea of Pflicht," which is largely the cause of the present greatness of Germany and which helped them greatly to come out victorious In 1871. This Is not so with the Russians. In the first place, the Russians have never been known for their warlike spirit. The masses are nothing but inert, good-natured semi-barbarians, who would be only too glad to be left alone to till their soil In their primitive way and pursue peaceful occupations. It is next to Impossible to teach a Russian peasant order and system. From early childhood the Russian wit nesses the lawlessness and arbitrari ness of his government and by the time the young man enters the army he is a pessimist of the worst kind. During the time of his military service the Russian soldier becomes thoroughly disgusted with the corruption, drunk enness and Immoral life of the mili tary officers, who certainly cannot command his respect, but Just inspire fear. Military Training Scored. To describe the horrid life of the Russian soldier in the barracks would take too long. Suffice it to say that the young recruit after four years of military service becomes either entire ly demoralized or an embryonic revo lutionist. The best part of the . Rus sian army Is admittedly the Cossacks. They are excellently trained, because they spend nearly all their lives In actual service and besides they have been fighters for generations back, be ing direct descendants of medieval ma rauders. The Cossacks enjoy a comparative Independence, and being isolated from the rest of the Russian population, they retain their own characteristics. Their type is pre-eminently Mongolian. On his horse, the Cossack is Invincible, but fortunately for European civiliza tion, the Cossacks form but a small portion of the Russian army. The Cossacks of the Don and the T'ral are the oldest. To them were added during the reign of Alexander II a few regiments of Cossacks from the Cossack district. With the excep tion of the Cossacks, the Russian army stands inferior to almost any European army as far as discipline and military valor are concerned. The Russian arm)' can only boast of numbers. Russia can sacrifice more human beings than any of the other great European pow ers. She has demonstrated this dis regard for human life time and again, mora especially during the last Russo Japanese war, with a loss of 15U.000 men. and during the Russo-Turkish war in 1877-78, when, under Plevna alone. 200.000 men were slaughtered These losses were uncalled for and could easily have been prevented. Ciar' Morals Attacked. As to the personality of the Russian Czar, much has been written about his mediocrity and moral obtuseness. He Inherited these characteristics from his father, Alexander III, although he does not drink like his father, whose death, as is well known, was due to excessive drinking. Nicholas II, to make himself strong with the masses, keeps on good terms with the clergy and often visits old monasteries. On the other hand, though a married man and a father of chil dren, he openly lived with Madame Kabeshinsky. a beautiful ballet dancer, by whom he had children. In this re spect he resembles hie grandfather. Alexander II. who left a numerous pos terity all over his empire. It is self evident that the soldiers cannot have any respect for such a man. much less admire him. It la different, though, with the Kaiser William, who Is a clean man In his private life and Is much admired by his people. Alliance Ik Itegretted. In conclusion. I wish to say that it Is to be regretted that Germany is warring against France Instead of Joining hands with France and work ing together with the other European nations against Russia and against her Pan-Slavistic tendencies. Pan-Slavism the conquering of the world by the Slavs was the ambition cherished by all the Romanoffs, com mencing with Peter the Great. Let us hope that Pan-Slavism will never come to a realization and that Russia, after receiving another blow, will turn her attention to her home affairs instead of trying to grab more territory, of which she has now more than she can hok after. Germany has more In common with France than with Russia, as they are both civilised nations, and they could accomplish a great deal more by work ing harmoniously together than wast ing lives, money and time without any Justification. They would also better succeed in frustrating Russia's political ambition by Joining their forces against Russia. As it is, however, France Is PORTLAND COUPLE W H O STARTED ON A HIKE TO BOSTON. Mr. and Mrs. P. I. Clvaller. With 3000 miles separating them from their destination, Mr. and Mrs. P. I. Civallcr, of this city, started last Saturday night for Boston, the entire distance to be made on foot. The Clvallers Intend to sell postal cards and such novelties and in this man ner pay for the expense of the trip. Mr. Clvaller is wearing his own hand-made Bergman shoe, and his plans are so arranged that ho will wear them the en tire distance, changing soles but once. asserted Dr. Adams, and It is making the traveling hard. The ascent takes much longer as there is no crust to walk on, the snow being soft, and the start Is made at 2 A. M. Many crevasses are appearing this year and old ones are widening. Glaciers are moving faster than ever before, it is said, the White River glacier having already moved 16 feet this year while its annual descent has not been more than eight feet. A curious feature which may be noticed now. said the climber, is that many grasshoppers may be found on the snow field near the crater, some ot which were kicking last Friday. It Is figured that they must have blown there from the east or south. DENTISTS TO TAKE COURSE Post Graduate Work Is to Be Dem onstrated Today.

"Despite the intense war excitement," the people of my section of the state are showing great interest in politics this year." said J. H. Peare, a promi nent Eastern Oregon business man, who returned yesterday to his home at La Grande after passing several days in Portland. "Not only are they inter ested, but they are studying political conditions thoroughly, with the result that prospects for Republican success in the November election, both state and National, never were more prom ising." Mr. Peare is a member of the Repub lican state central committee for Union County and is intimately acquainted with the conditions in the adjoining counties of Morrow and Wallowa, where he says, a decidedly healthy Repub lican sentiment prevails. He reports that east of the Cascades both K. A. Booth, for Senator, and Dr. James Withycombe, for Governor, are not only strong," but are adding materially to their following daily. Equally optim istic reports were also brought to the city yesterday by W. L. Thompson, a business man of Pendleton, and C. L Hawley, State Senator and a prominent farmer of Polk County. Free Trade Assailed. "Engaged as they are in harvesting bountiful crops, the disastrous effects of the Administration's tariff policy is brought forcibly to the attention of our producers," commented Mr. Peare. "Eastern Oregon farmers and stockmen are not being deceived by the conten tions ot the Democrats inai me ic moval of the tariff has not affected the market price of their products. They realize, on the other hand, that with the protection afforded by a reasonable tariff they would be receiving today more for the products they are deliv ering to the markets of the world. "Voters in my section of the state are entirely dissatisfied with the un stable conditions In business prevail ing everywhere and are firmly re solved to apply the only direct remedy by restoring the Republicans to con trol in both state and National af fairs. This Is one year when Repub ii tr to vote their ticket litaxio tt i c and steer clear of further Democratic domination and the inevitable business depression that follows." Mr. Booth, the KepuDiican nouimoo t-i Qtotoc Senator, is now in Klamath County on the last lap of an extended tour of Southeastern Oregon. His Itinerary has embraced Sherman, Wheeler. Grant. Harney, Malheur, Lake and Klamath counties and when the . f viamath PmiTitv has been com pleted Mr Booth will have finished this portion of his campaign. The trip has been made by automobile and has carried the Republican Senatorial nom inee into the remote sections of the state for a first-hand study of condi tions and needs. The Ontario Argus gives the follow ing account of Mr. Booth's visit to Malheur County: R A Booth, of Eugene. Republican ncm Inee' for United States Senator, was in Mal heur County this week meeting the voters and setting acquainted with the conditions and needs of this county. Senator Booth is making an automobile trip over the counties of Eastern Oregon, having come through Sherman. Wheeler. Grant and Har ney to Malheur, and after leaving here will visit Lake and Klamath counties by auto. Mr Booth is a native Oregonlan and has 'resided in this state all his life, five years ot which time was on the ranges of Eastern Oregon He was very much pleased to see the development of this part of the state, and savs there are great possibilities for Eastern Oregon. Mr. Booth is probably the only candidate for the United States Senate who ever condescended to visit the remote parts of this state to get acquainted with the voters and learn first handed the con ditions and needs of the state. He has been an untiring worker all his life, and when elected to the United States Senate will not be accused of sitting idly by and permitting Oregon's Interests to be neglected. MR, DIEGKliES PLOT COMMISSIONER SAYS HE IS FRIEND, NOT FOE, OF HOLMES. Official Explains Steps Taken In Pro motion of Draughtsman, ShovrinK He Was Not Unided by Animus. Denial of charges that Commissioner Dieck has been working to oust H. W. Holmes "from the city service by pro moting him from his former position of structural draughtsman to the po sition of chief of the muicipal bureau of highways and bridges, a place he could not hold on account of failure to pass a Civil Service examination for the post, was made yesterday by Mr. Dieck, "after Investigation of the charges. Mr. Dieck has written assurances of Mr. Holm.es and George W. Caldwell, chairman of the Municipal Civil Ser vice Board, that they had not been correctly quoted in the interviews crit icising him. Mr. Dieck says he is sat isfied with these assurances. "As a matter of fact," said Mr. Dieck " I could not have ousted Mr. Holmes in the manner accused, evens if I had wished so to do. Mr. Holmes holds the civil service classification of structural draughtsman.' If he were to lose the position of chief of the bureau he still would be in the service as a structural draughtsman. To get him out of that position I would have to file charges with the Civil Service Board. The fact that I would not have the power to oust Mr. Holmes in the manner accused Is ample proof that there is nothing to it. "When I first took office I held a series of conferences with the men In the engineering service. They did not know what the purpose of these ses sions was and possibly do not even today. The Idea was to give me an opportunity to size up the men. At that time Mr. Holmes appeared to me to be an unusually competent man and I experimented with him on technical undertakings. He showed himself equal to any occasion. For that reason I appointed him last February to be chief of the bureau having charge of all municipal bridges and highways. "Later the Civil Service Board, !n accordance with the city charter, held an open competitive examination for the position and Mr. Holmes failed to pass that test. Some objections were made by Mr. Holmes and others who took the examination to the man ner of correcting jkhe papers and for Sale Mahogany and Overstuffed Furniture BEAUTIFUL Mahogany Fur niture priced for the Anni versary Sale at extraordinary reductions.
