THE MORXING OREGOXUN, TUESDAY, JULY IP, 1917. - M 1 r.! RUSSIAN ARMY MAY BE COUNTED UPON Major-General Hugh L. Scott Is Eye Witness of Battle on Roumanian Front. SLAVS FIGHT WITH SPIRIT Accuracy of Russian Fire and Ef fective Concealment of Bat teries Most Noticeable to American Obserrer. PETROGRAD, July 8. (Delayed.) "The Russian army la going to fight. The spirit among the troops everywhere Is excellent. The advance so brilliantly begun has every chance for successful continuation." This was the reassur ing comment on the Russian military situation made bv Major-General Hugh L. Scott, Chief of the General Staff of the United States Army, on his return tonight from a 10 days' tour along the southwestern front into Roumanla, General Scott described In detail and with the greatest enthusiasm the Rus sian advance of June 30. which he per sonally observed at close range from a point near Brzezany. "Few observers." said General Scott, 'have had such opportunity of viewing the active operations of an European army since the war began. When we arrived at Tarnopol the Russian artil lery preparation had' been In progress nearly 48 hours, but we were in time to watch the brilliant climax. Tremendous Bombardment Seen "We Journeyed from Tarnopol to the firing line in automobiles and. were immediately escorted to the trenches. A tremendous bombardment was in progress and the Austrian lines were being battered by a continuous torrent of shells. The point that struck me most forcibly was the accuracy of the Russian fire and the effective conceal ment of their batteries. The Austrian artillery was good but noticeably weaker. "The precision and exquisite work ing of the Russian machinery was a marvel to me. Every man was in his place, and there was not the slightest sign of insubordination or reluctanoe among the men. Each officer and sol dier eagerly and unhesitatingly did what he was told. The spirit of the men themselves was in favor of an advance. Many Austrian Surrender. "We spent the night at the head' quarters of the Sixth Corps of the Eleventh Army, but early in the morn' ing of the next day we returned to the trenches. Clambering out of the trenches into a wheat field on the sum mit of a ridge overlooking the Austrian positions, we watched the end of the battle. "The artillery preparations ceased suddenly, the ordr to advance was given and the whole Russian line swept . forward in perfect unison. I was some what dismayed when, in a short time, I saw thousands of men pouring back again. But I soon discovered that these men were Austrian prisoners, who came -unnlng with all speed into the Russian lines, apparently with single thought that of surrendering as quickly as possible. "The Russian casualties were com paratively slight, as It was possible to Judge by the small number of am bulance wagons which the Russians sent forward." Russians Will Go On Ft shtlnaj. General Scott said that the spirit and : discipline of the Russian troops dur ing this engagement was merely i sample of that which he found at other points on the front. The spldiers were ready to advance whenever called upon and the morale of the army in general was Infinitely better than he had been led to believe In Petrograd. "We can count on these people to go on fighting." the General said in conclusion. After a stop at Czemowlti, the cap ltal of Bukowina, the Scott party went direct to Jassy. the seat of the Rou manian erovernment, where a lunch eon was given in their honor by the King and Queen of Roumanla. who ex pressed pleasure over America's en - trance into the war. The King told the General that Roumanla would de rive fresh courage from an ally who had the reputation of finishing what It undertook. The party was received formally by members of the Roumanian government and General Scott delivered an address before tne Roumanian rr liament. Except for a few informal confer ences with the members of the Rus sian government, the work here of the Root commission virtually has been concluded. Cincinnati Explosions Kill Five. CINCINNATI.

The men were sought on warrants charging unlawful assemblage and at tempts to Interfere with mining opera tions, but up to night none ox the 15 had been apprehended. Mine to Remain Closed. The Union Basin mine, ordered shut down by the management following walkout of pumpmen Saturday night because they did not want to be called "scabs." will remain closed until the strikers' places are filled and probably until the present strike troubles are over, it was announced.

BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER. LONDON. July 9. (Special.) Almost anything may come out of the political melee now stirring Germany, Dut wnat ever happens it is certain that Prus slanism, harassed on all sides, faces speedy destruction. The Social and Liberal rorces nave been gaining strength for a blow at Prusstanism, and every advance which they make means an Important step towards peace. Those who see the disruption and collapse of Germany are likely to be badly disappointed. The old system which made war is now being forced to give ground, but there will remain a united people so long as they feel that they are fighting a life-and-death struggle. The crisis precipitated by Matthias Brzberger, leader of the Catholic Cen ter party, which, next to the Social- Democracy, Is the strongest political organization in all Germany, has been developing with remarkable rapidity during the last four montha Brzberger is a brilliant speaker and writer and. as the political head of Germany's 25, 000,000 Catholics, he commands great power and respect in the Reichstag. Although the present move Is prl marily Brzberger's own initiative, he has the support of all except three of NEW ATROCITIES Aged Financiers Deported by Ger mans as Act of Reprisal.

Categorical denials were made today by the repre sentatives of the Industrial Workers of the World that their organization was under German Influence, that a revo lutionary movement had been planned by the Industrial Workers of the World and that runs or ammunition had been cached In mining camps and elsewhere to arm the members. BISBEB. Ariz., July 9- The Shat tuck-Arizona mine here, closed since the beginning of the strike of the Metal Mine Workers' Industrial Union two paign for the reorganization of the government system. With this power behind him. Brzberger is gradually pushing the government to the wall and the only alternative is wholesale defeat for the autocratic forces. No single thing, unless it Is the war. has produced the present crisis, which is rather the result of a combination of events. With Prusslanlsm assailed on every side, the Austrian . Emperor is exerting pressure for peace and the German Socialist and Center party are demanding a non-annexation, no-in demnity declaration, as well as drastic parliamentary reforms. The Junkers are fighting both and attacking the Chancellor on the ground that he is too liberal. Undoubtedly the present combination for the Immediate new orientation has crowded the govern ment to the wall, with no escape save concession or compromise. This means more than the temporary humiliation of Prussianism. It means that their future course will be guided by popular opinion and that the power of leadership has been greatly weak ened. JTrom a pacifist viewpoint, tn- German developments are exceedingly heartening, although even the pacifists ocasider it unwise to Interpret them as any collapse on the part of Germany. Primarily, it is a domestic affair, which can easily grow into an international question ot the first importance.
