GREAT RUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS,
Slay 12. In my diary of April 11 la
written the name of a Russian General
who grave us a day of days because of
fcls friendship for America. Thank
heaven, we rose early that day.
Our way lay straight west over the
road the Germans had marched to at
tack "Warsaw and again on the retreat.
They came within eight miles of the
city and were expecting: to crown a
King when the Russian guard arrived
ut that is history, not reminiscence.
Down this road we came bumping: in
the German ruts and wondering
whether the aeroplane flying high
above would expend a shell upon so
small an object as an automobile. It
did not, and we arrived at , the head
quarters of the commanding General.
What is the strange psychplogy that
causes the mind depressed by the eight
of wounded men to be cheered by the
sound of the cannon that wounded
them, the popping corks of the wine of
death?
Sound of Gom Give Cheer.
Whatever the explanation, our party
brightened as the guns began to sound
above the carriage wheels which bore
us on the- third stage of our journey.
A shell hole blocked the road before
the General's door, a chance visitor
which had killed a sentry at the rear
pne day while the General waa ou the
firing line.
The General himself was in the gar
den, a kindly man who welcomed us
with a short speech as representatives
ot the great American Nation, in which
lie had spent delightful hours and
which he delighted to honor. The
(division was ours to command.
A cavalry drill was arranged, and a
revue of infantry. He was about to
bombard a German sap. Yea, and if we
wanted -to very much we could enter
the trenches. But we must be careful.
He would never forgive himself if we
should be hurt while his guests. Then
Interested questions as to the success
of the San Francisco Exposition, and.
before we knew it we were among a
eotnia of Cossack cavalry. Called
Botnia from the number apt 100 men.
Coiuck "ot Like Show Type.
The Cossacks are humpy looking
men, with round fur caps and sheep
skin coats. They never wash or shave.
Also they have more wives than teeth.
Yes, I have been to Buffalo Bill's and
seen them, too. Apparently Buffalo Bill
has got them all. At least I have not
seen any of that kind in Russia.
The Russians know something about
this reputation. When I first came to
headquarters the Grand Duke asked
me as a pleasantry to pick out the Cos
sack officers. This was puzzling, as no
one present could come within my pre
conceived, opinion of them, least of all
the three blonde, close-cropped young
men who always smiled so affably at
my opinion.
When the aoldiexs were dismounted
there was nothing to indicate the Cos
sack, unless it was that the horses
seemed too nervous to drilL But when
they mounted and swung: into line!
Sons of Castor and Pollux! Nothing but
International polo can equal It.
They wheeled, and they counter
marched, and they charged.
They formed a skirmish line on foot,
and they leaped back on their mounts.
1 cannot describe it, but' the cinema
can cinema, the modern wax corre
spondent. Regiment's Lou Already 60O0.
This regiment contained 3060 men as
we saw it. It had already lost 6000
killed and wounded. I wondered how
many of the original number remained.
The General greeted his men heartily.
"Good morning, boys," said the Gen
' eraL
"Good health to your excellency,"
roared back the regiment.
I had already learned that the Gen
eral loved bis men. The tone of the
men's reply showed that they loved
their General.
And how they stood at attention! De
veloping that cohesion of mind that will
hold them together when the next great
trial comes.
I had a good chance to look them over
as we rode up and down the line. I saw
that the officers set good examples in
bearing to their men. In particular I
noticed a red-bearded Captain holding
m. great curved sword, and I thought of
cl story John McCutcheon brought home
from the campaign in Belgium, and
grinned right in the review almost.
The regiment turned into column and,
band leading, passed before the Gen
eral. Battery la Well Hlddea.

Philippine Executive and Toklo Min
isters Promote Friendship.
TOKIO, May 22. Governor Francis B.
Harrison, of the Philippine Islands,
who is visiting Japan, has had confer
ences with Count Okuma, the Prime
Minister, and Baron Kato. the Minister
for Foreign (Affairs. Although the Gov
ernor's visits were calls of etiquette,
the promotion of the friendly relations
between the United States and Japan
were discussed lengthily. The develop
ment of trade between Japan, the
Philippines and the United States was
especially dwelt on.
The Japanese are constantly em
phasizing their desire to create wide
business relations with the United
States, which they regard as a great
practical reason for the tightening of
the bonds of friendship.
Governor Harrison has Just left for
China with Mrs. Harrison, but expects
to return here later to rejoin his chil
dren, who will spend the Summer at
the seashore resort of Kamakura,
COLONIALS REACH BRITAIN
Wounded Australians From Dar
danelles Are Cared For.
LONDON, June 8. Several hundred
wounded Australian soldiers from the
Dardanelles are now In England, and
have been quartered in various military
hospitals and sanitariums. A commit
tee of Australians resident in England
has been formed to visit them and pro
vide as far as possible for their wants.
They all concur in describing the
Turk as a first-class fighting man, ex
cept where the bayonet is concerned.
Although the percentage of wounded
in the Dardanelles is heavy, considered
in relation to the number of men en
gaged, they say this is somewhat miti
gated by the unusually large proportion
of minor wounds. An explanation of
this is that it Is due to the preponder
ance of rifle and shrapnel fire, as op
posed to the terrible injuries Inflicted
by high explosives In Belgium and
France. Another ameliorating factor is
the dry climate and sterile, non-infectious
character of the soil.
FOOD EMBARGO TIGHTENS
Britain Stops Exports to Allies'
Ports Near Enemies.
LONDON. June 6. There la a further
tightening of the ring by which food
supplies are prevented from entering
Germany, Austria and Turkey. An
order-in-council this week announces
that the exportation of certain impor
tant foods for man and beast is totally
prohibited, while other foods and for
age may be exported to France, Russia,
Spain and Portugal.
Goods that must not be sent to for
eign ports in Europe other than France,
Russia, Spain and Pfrtugal (Russian
Baltic ports and Italy banned, as are
also neutral countries such as Holland,
Norway, Sweden and Denmark) are
onions, potatoes, rye, rye flour, . rye
meal, buckwheat, millet, molasses, ar
senic and its compounds.
WOUNDED WILL HAVE CITY
Patriotic Germans Provide Homes
for Invalid Officers.
BERLIN, June 4. A garden city for
invalid officers who have been perma
nently Injured in action Is to be built
at Moser. a small town near Magde
burg. An organization of influential
men has bought a picturesque tract of
country for this purpose in the Niegrip
forest, and villas of varying size and
architecture are to be built, care being
taken that each villa has an ample
yard and a pleasant view.
The central organization will turn
these houses over to invalid officers
and their families at a nominal rental,
the undertaking avoiding all profit and
having in view only patriotic objects.
The Empress and Crown Princess are
among the supporters of the plan. - i

Sunday's War Moves
WITH headquarters at Pless, In
Southeastern Silesia, the German
Emperor is said to be personally di
rectlng the Austro-German operations
in Gallcia against the Russians.
The crisis of the Austro-German
drive is at hand. Grodek is secure in
the possession of General von Mack
ensen's men and the Germans and the
Austrian corps under Field Marshal
von Arz are reported by Berlin to be
storming and capturing one after an
other the Russian trenches along the
entire front before Lemberg, extending
from Rawa Ruska, in the north, to
Janow, which lies only 11 miles from
the Galician capital.
This front is 24 miles in extent and
the fighting here has been of the most
stubborn character. To the south, be
tween Grodek and the Dniester
marshes, the Russians also are being
hard pressed.
Although the Russian w'ar Office has
had little to say of late regarding the
Galician campaign. Unofficial reports
from Petrograd declare that the rapid
retirement of the Russian forces has
been accomplished without any de
moralization whatsoever and intimate
that the Russian lines have been
straightened and put in a state of pre
paredness to meet the further advance
of the vast forces which are being
flung against them.
Both French and British in the west
ern war zone are on the offensive and
heavy artillery engagements, with nu
merous infantry attacks, have been in
progress continuously in the region of
La Bassee. Arras, in Lorraine and in the
Vosges. As usual, the French and Ger
man war offices are at variance as to
the results attained. As an Instance.
Paris says that In the sector to the
north of Arras the French, in an attack,
advanced about two-thirds of a mile,
while Berlin asserts that the French
at this point were repulsed "with
sanguinary losses."
There is fighting along the Austro-
Italian frontier in Serbia, on the
Gallipoli Peninsula and in the Caucasus.
Rome asserts that numerous Austrian
positions along the Isonzo have been
taken by assault. Unofficial advices
are to the effect that the Serbians have
occupied Durazzo. Albania.
The Turks in the vicinity of Avl
Burnu are declared to be constantly on
the offensive. A correspondent with
the Turkish forces says that with the
British fleet unable to assist In the
land operations because of the sub
marine menace, the British hold on Avi
Burnu apparently is not as secure c
it was.
From Tiflis comes advices that the
Turks have replaced their army corps
which was captured by the Russians at
Sari Kamysh. restored their supplies of
ammunition and are concentrating to
give further battle to the Russians.

KLAMATH FALLS. Or., June 20.
(Special.) While no more reclamation
projects may be expected to be initiated
in Oregon or elsewhere in the United
States in the immediate future, it may
be written down as a fact that the
Klamath Falls project of 250.000 acres
will ultimately be completed as a re
sult of the visit here today of 12 mem
bers of the appropriations committee
of the 64 th Congress.
More than $2,000,000 has been In
vested In the Klamath district, and for
the first time the men who grant the
appropriations appeared to find out
what had been done with the money.
They found the project a complicated
combination of irrigation and drainage
problems, but expressed faith in '.he
country and the ability of the far-'jers
to repay the money to the Government
Project Considered Saccean.
Owing to a depleted treasury and the
steady falling off of revenues from the
sales of public lands in the land states
of the West, It may be that the Klamath
project will proceed slowly toward com
pletion, but i is now ranked among
those where success has been attained
in carrying out plans originally laid
down.
The visit of the committee, headed by
Representative Fitagctald, of New York,
was made necessary py reason of the t
transfer of the control of reclamation
funds from the Secretary of the Inte
rior to Congress. The Secretary for
merly decided what reclamation proj
ects were advisable to construct and
placed the money available for the use
of the engineers in charge. The last
Congressional session adopted an
amendment requiring that all appro
priations for reclamations be made by
the appropriations committee of the
House, where all other appropriations
originate.
Eniertslnment Rale Obeyed.
The committee reached Klamath
Falls this morning aboard a pair of
special cars, with John M. Scott, gen
eral passenger agent- of the Southern
Pacific, in charge. There was no cere
monious welcome, the committee hav
ing sent on word that it was purely a
business trip, and that brass bands
and banquets simply disarranged their
schedule and their dispositions.
Abel Ady, president of the Water
Users' Association, boarded the train
and emerged with the news that Chair
man Fitzgerald would not be of the
party as he was suffering from a
wrenched tendon in his back.
Panoramic View Obtained.
Seven automobiles carried the other
members of the delegation over roads
from which the lands under irrigation,
in need of drainage and the higher
mesas to which water is hoped to be
taken by enlargements of the system.
could be viewed. It was in most part
a panorama of alfalfa and grain fields
where thousands of head of livestock
grazed. Flashing in all directions ran
silver streams of water. In ditches, that
gave evidence of having been con
tracted to serve for the next hundred
years.
At noon luncheon was served under
the big trees at the home of J. Frank
Adams, then investigation was con
tinued south into Modoc County, Cali
fornia, and the home of Will Dalton,
where 5000 cattle dotted the alfalfa
fields. Turning here, the border of
Tule Lake was skirted, where for two -
miles the water has receded as a re
sult of the damming of Lost River and
turning its waters into Klamath River.
Tillable Area Increased.
Tule Lake adds 94,000 acres to the
tillable area of the project through
evaporation. Thence the party re
turned on the west side to the City of
Klamath Falls, and up to the great
head gate which controls the irrigation
outflow from Upper - Klamath Lake, a
body of water 45 miles long and 15
miles wide.
The head gate, mile of tunnel and
main canal through which the bij: irri
gation system begins have a capacity
of 1500 feet of water a second, suffi
cient to irrigate 150,000 acres of land.
Four hundred feet of water a second
are being used for the irrigation of
40.000 acres of farm lands. It is this
difference between capar" - -nd actual
application which gives Klamath Falls
hopes of procuring sufficient money
from Congres to bring in the remain
ing 110,000 acres, which, added to the
land that -will come in through, evapo
ration at Tule Lake, makes the total
250,000 acres.
92,000,000 More Desired.
In the construction of this project it
was estimated that $4,000,000 would be
required. More than $2,000,000 has
been invested and only 40.000 acres
watered and drained, but it is conceded
