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

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.

Candidate for Senate Visits Towns

quirements of Districts.
"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
