The Russians forced an Austrian bat
talion to evacuate Burgade and Ra

Youth for Perilous Mission.
PARIS. Aug. 23. Colonel Folque,
commander of a division of artillery at
the front, recently needed a few men
for a perilous mission and called for
volunteers.
"Those who undertake this mission
will perhaps never come back," he said,
"and he who commands will probably
be one of the first sons of France to
die for his country in this war."
Volunteers were numerous. A young
graduate of a polytechnic school asked
for the honor of leading those who
would undertake the mission. It was
the son of Colonel Folque. The latter
paled., but did not flinch. His son did
not come back.

BY CHARLES JOHNSTON.
Formerly in American Diplomatic Service In
Ruiiia and Expert Tactician.
The great European armies are di
vided into army corps, each recruited
from a certain territory. An army
corps averages about "40,000 men, oC
whom 4000 are cavalry. France has 21
army corps; Germany has 25; Austria-Hungary
has 16: Russia's Euro
pean armv has 27. In addition Russia
has the army of the Caucasus and five
armv corps in eastern Siberia.
Russia's European army is prac-
ticallv an army intended for offense
and defense aeainst Germany and Aus
tria. For this reason it is in time of
Deaee stationed in a line of forts and
posts at no great distance from the
German and Austrian frontiers, at
points connected with these frontiers
by rail.
Russian Frontier Well Guarded.
Toward the GeTman frontier the
chief Russian forts and posts are those
of "the Polish quadrilateral." Novo
Georgievsk on the right bank of the
Vistula, Warsaw, Ivan-Gorod and
Brest-Litovsk. The most distant is
about as far from the German frontier
as Paris is from Metz, a matter of only
a few hours by rail. Standing against
the Austrian frontier are strong Rus
sian posts like L -in and Vinnitza,
both on main lines of railroad, within
a few hours of the frontier.
The Russian army in this string of
forts and posts facing Austria and
Germany numbers, on a peace footing,
upward of 1,000,000 men. This enor
mous force should have been with the
colors at the beginning of August,
when Germany declared war against
Russia. Germany's plan of campaign
was to annihilate France and then to
turn leisurely and dispose of Russia.
Russia will probably elect to attack
Austria first, satisfied with holding the
position of Germany meanwhile. If so,
then the cavalry engagement on the
Dniester probably marks the main line
of Russia's present' advance. This
means an attack In force on the Aus
trian province of Galicia, which is
curved round the back of the king
dom of Hungary and stretches most
of the way from Germany to Rumania,
the outpost of the Balkans.
Gallela Is Menace to Austria.
Austria's danger lies in the fact that
Galicia is almost wholly Slav. Its in
habitants are closely allied by blood,
language and largely also by faith
with their neighbors across the Rus
sian frontier, as closely as the Bos
nians are allied with the Servians.
Further. Galicia is geographically a
part of Russia, a continuation of the
great Russian plain, the center of tne
province being formed by tne river vai
ley of the Dniester. On the west it is
cut off from Hungary by the wall of
the Carpathians. Bukovina. the "land
of beechwoods," t le ustrian province
to the south of Galicia, is equally
Slavonic, equally close to Russia in
race and speech, while the majority of
its people belong to tv e eastern cnurcn,
as do the Russians.
A Russian Invasion of Galicia, start
ing from Vinnitza, will therefore find
an admirable field for its activities in
these two provinces. It is likely that
the first great movement of the war,
so far as Russia is concerned, will be
fought here, and that this movement
has aMeady been initated by the cav
alry engagement so fatal to Austria's
Uhlans, already reported. Russia Is very
probably In a position to pour 400,000
or 500.000 men Into Austria throngh the
door of Galicia. A total nearly equal
to the whole niynber that Austria can
put in the iieia aouming in an ner re
serves. The strength of the Russian
army lies In the fact that it is prac-
ioaiiv homosreneous 'in ice and speech.
and strongly united in national feeling,
while the Austrian is half Slavonic,
with a quarter each of German and
Hungarian, and rent by the fiercest na
tional jealousies.
Russia Ktt Unprepared.
We shall make a complete mistake If
we think of the Russian army as un
trained or unprepared. The Japanese
war was a sharp lesson to the Rus
sians, and officers trained in that war
will handle the Czar's forces today.
From the War Office at St. Petersburg
to the last recruit the sting and stimu
lus of the Japanee war is felt, and
the Russian armies are keen to retrieve
themselves, to write victory on their
standards.
No more popular cause of war could
be Imagined than a crusade against
Austria in defense of oppressed Slav
nationalities. That goes to every Rus
sian's heart. The Russian troops will
therefore fight with elan and enthusi
asm. Their hearts are in tne contact.
Ever since General Soukhomlinoff came
into power at the Russian War Office
five years ago he and the whole Rus
sian staff have been convinced that
war with Austria, and therefore also
with Germany, was inevitable. There
fore, as War Minister and a soldier ot
high qualifications, he has bent every
energy, during a period of surplus
budgets, to the reorganization of the
Russian army.
Russia has been spending half a bil
lion dollars yearly on war preparations,
with immediate war against Austria
clearly in view. Austria In the mean
while spent only one-fourth of that sum
on her patchwork army. It is to b
expected the future will see war opera

EUROPE'S BURDEN OF DEBT
The .seven nations of Europe
now at war have a total na
tional debt of S24.000.000.000,
with an annual interest charge of
1953,000,000 that must be raised
by taxation. Most of this vast
sum represents the cost of past
wars and puts a burden of taxa
tion on the people when it might
have been invested in productive
enterprise, but for the wars of
the past. The war that is now
raging will be the most costly
ever waged and if it lasts any
considerable lime will add more
billions to the vast volume of
debt that will be a perpetual
burden on the people.
Here is the total debt and the
amount per capita of each na
tion involved (with the figures
of the United States for com
parison):- Per

23. Ostend is again
the entry into the
city of the Germans, reports being cur
rent here that tne Germans are de
termined to capture all three wireless
stations on the Belgian coast and cut
off communication with England.
John Mackenzie, an Englishman who
had been in Belgium for six weeks,
came from Ostend to London tonight
and said of the situation there:
"When I left Ostend at 11 this morn
ing the populace were much fright
ened. The British consul had departed
and tourists had been warned to leave.
The wireless operators were still on
duty, but had their motorcycles ready
to flee. The stations have been mined
so they can be destroyed when the
Germans begin their entrance.
"All Americans are out the city. It
was generally believed our boat would
be the last out of Ostend.
"Refugees from Brussels said it took
seven hours for the German troops to
pass through the city. They estimated
there were 35.000 of them. Most of
them moved toward Ghent, but It was
reported they were turning south. The
Germans treated the Belgians kindly
in Brussels. They patronized the res
taurants ar"a paid for their food with
gold, saying to the waiters, 'Keep the
change; we will get it as we march
back from Paris.'
"Virtually every one who could get
out of Ostend has done so. Not a Ger
man soldier has been seen there yet,
and it is doubtful whether there are
any Prussians in Ghent."
A dispatch to the Havas agency from
Brussels by way of Ostend says Ger
man troops are In the outskirts of the
city and the surrounding villages, but
have not been quartered in Brussels
itself.
Consumers of Synthetics, However,
Will Face Famine if Conflict
Lasts six Months Home De
velopment Considered.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. The European
conflict has set on foot in this country
organized efforts looking to the eman
cipation of American manufacture from
dependence on Europe.
If it is to be a long war, the United
States will of necessity have to prove
whether American ingenuity can meet
the situation. This ingenuity must
crystallze in two ways first in the
production of materials heretofore sup
plied by foreign countries chiefly
Germany for the use of American
manufacturers; second In the manu
facture of articles for South American
and Far Eastern trade, which must
look to the United States by the cur
tailment of production of abroad.
Factories -liny Be Closed.
Already manufacturers throughout
the country are consulting chemists
and other experts and laying the
ground work to solve the problem.
Many factories face the prospect of
closing down unless certain drugs and
chemicals can be obtained.
It is said raw materials are at hand
to duplicate nearly everything which
the war has shut oif, but manufacturers
in many cases are hesitant to launch
into extensive production because of
the uncertainty of the duration of the
war. Should the conflict end abrupt
ly, competition might be restored to a
considerable extent with plants still
under way in this country.
On the other hand, it is pointed out,
that this war has driven home the
realization that the United States in
the future must be prepared for such
an emergency as this. With the future
in view and much foreign trade to be
had for the asking, many manufac
turers thjnk that the impetus to Ameri
can manufacturers will be tremendous.
Drag Situation Critical.
ine arug situation, perhaps more
than anything else, has impressed the
united States with the necesisty of ac
tion. In an editorial to appear in its
September issue, the American Druggist
points out that if the European conflict
is of more than six months duration
American consumers of German synthe
tic drugs will be faced with a famine.
Those who now have stocks on hand
are warned to conserve them.
Production of these drugs in the
united States for we have the raw
materials, the article says would meet
the situation. Yet such a plan would
have its difficulties.
"It probably would be impossible to
arrange with the German patentees
to manufacture these products in the
United States on a royalty basis," says
the article. But in view of the un
certain duration of the war, the pat
entee would probably not make terms
which would tempt American capital
ists to erect laboratories and organize
chemists to carry out the manufacture
of these synthetic dyestuffs and drugs.
Industry Develops Slowly.
"This industry has been the out
growth of 50 years of study and devel
opment in Germany. It can only be
carried on economically on a large
scale. It is not probable that the Ger
man manufacturers would wish to have
established in the United States labora
tories which would practically dupli
cate their own, and thus after the war
entail the operation of a duplicate
plant. The prospect, therefore, for sup
plies or synthetic chemicals and dye
stuffs after the consumption of the ex
isting stock is decidedly gloomy.
"In the matter of the dyestuffs, the
manufacture of which is associated
with that of synthetic drugs, the world's
supply will last somewhat longer for
the reason that the largest users of
those dyestuffs Germany, France and
England will use little or none during
the war. The United States uses prob
ably one-fourth of the world's supply,
and the remaining three-quarters of the
world's supply will be sufficient to keep
our cloth, silk and print mills busy for
a year."

FRANCE BEATEN, SAYS BERLIN
Unsigned Wireless Message Holds
Gallic Strategy Has Failed.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. The follow
ing unsigned dispatch has been re
ceived by the Associated Press:
"Berlin (no date) Wireless to Say-
ville. L. I., Aug. 23. The third French
'army has been defeated. This is high
ly important strategically as well as
because of its moral effect. The cam
paign seemed to be the product of the
much-discussed French policy to antic
ipate an advance into Belgium by at
tempting to crush the center of the
German positions in Lorraine, which
they were led to believe was weak.
"As a result of the French failure, it
is held probable that they will renew
their defensive position. German ex
perts are confident that the frontier
forts like those at Liege will speedily

ANTWERP ENVIRONS CLEAR
Enemy Declared Gone From Dis
tricts Near New Capital.
LONDON, Aug. 24. The Antwerp cor
respondent of Reuter's forwards the
following official dispatch:
'Since Saturday the situation around
ntwerp has greatly improved. Belgian
columns have completely cleared the
environs of all Germans, who either
were killed, driven -away or made
prisoners.
Our troops have visited the Campine
and Waes districts and also the
environs of Malines, out discovered no
trace of the enemy anywhere.
"The French troops are encased
with the German troops. All the Ger
man forces which were encamped near
Marche, in Belgian Luxemburg, have
moved oft southward.
be overwhelmed by a superior force.
In Europe on land they expect the on
ward march of the German and Aus
trian armies to continue, and that when
the peace congress shall assemble the
allies will be in a position to make
peace on favorable terms.
Onus of Attack on Japan.
While the diplomacy of the nations
opposed to the allies has succeeded in
effecting a powerful combination, Ger
many's course with reference to Japan's
ultimatum has been important. In the
view of diplomats here, in demonstrat
ing that she has been attacked in the
Far East and is not the assailant. It
has been persistently contended by the
Kaiser that he has not made war, but
that war has been made on him and the
German people. The action of Japan Is
pointed to as proof of this fact.
Germany did not want the war with
the Far Eastern power. She had noth
ing to say and a great deal to lose in
the Pacific and the Far East. Had It
been possible she would not have drawn
the Far East into the conflict, realizing
the danger of increased prestige which
Japan unquestionably will obtain.
So, Instead of replying to the Japanese
ultimatum, she deliberately ignored it
and placed the onus of attack on the
ally of the British.
British Hostility Asserted.
"It will be declared by the German
authorities that the action of Great
Britain in inspiring the Japanese at
tack is in keeping with the policy of
hostility pursued in peace as well as
war against the Kaiser's government.
Further, it is pointed out that Japan
is Inspired by a vindictive desire to
revenge herself on uermany Decause
of the latter's participation in the dip
lomatic representations of Russia and
France which forced Japan to retire
from Port Aruthur after capture from
China in the war of 1894-95.
In this connection It is an interesting
historical fact that the language of
the Japanese ultimatum is identical
with that which Germany handed to
Japan 20 years ago.
President Wilson has made It clear
that he does not propose to discuss
the merits of the struggle now in prog
ress. As the head of the American Na
tion, it does not concern him that Ger
many inaugurated the war against
France or that France and Russia In
augurated the war against Germany.
It is likewise of no consequence In his
view whether Japan wantonly attacked
Germany or Germany wantonly flaunt
ed Japan. It is his purpose to maiataln
the strictest neutrality as between all
the contending nations.
Soldiers Warned to Be Silent.
He certainly does not wish any sen
timent to be expressed in such fashion
against Japan as to arouse a like sen
timent In Japan against the United
States. So far as he has gone In this
connection it is learned today that
strict instructions have been sent to
the troops forming the American gar
rison at Pekin to refrain from coin
ruentlng one way or the other upon the
war. Governor-General Harrison, in
the Philippines, has been directed to
compel neutrality In both act and
speech in the Philippines. A similar
policy has been Imposed on the au
thorities of Hawaii, Guam and Tutuila.
Coincident with these instructions,
the authorities have taken such proper
precautionary measures as prudence
demands. As already known, the bat
tleships which have been in Mexican
waters now are being withdrawn and
are being placed In condition for any
contingency. In the Far East all of the
men-of-war of fighting character have
been mobilized in tru Philippines. None
of them is permitted to cruise in the
area of possible hostilities. By tnls
mobilization both in the Atlantic and
the Far East the United States will
be put in a better position to defend
its neutrality.
Complications to Be Avoided.
One of the special reasons prompting
the President's earnest effort to free
the United States from complications
which may develop serious conse
quences is his desire to be regarded
as the friend of all the states at war.
Such complaints as he has received to
date from Germany, England and Aus
tria have arisen from natural causes
and have been attended to In a manner
satisfactory to all the belligerents.
Lnder such circumstances the united
States is in a peculiarly good position
to mediate whenever the time shall ar
rive when such action will be accept
able. The President wants to safe-
smrd this situation and he will regret
anything which will tend to impair it.
