AUGUST 20. ...1915 The stride of the Herman armies Is regulated , by the preponderance of modern military equipment. In the war so far, it baa been horribly and effectively demonstrated that wben the Herman troops are oalled upon to on fnrward. tbe lfl-inoh howitzer makes the boles for them to crowd through. Kovna, one of the most im nrpcnnble forts known to the world, orumbled after a week's bombardment of Kropp'e heavy artillery. The Gar man forces are on the load to Petro grad. They bava open railway lines behind them over wbiob supplies and troops may be snooessfnlly transport ed, and in frout of them tbe retreating Russian armies. With tbe capture of the Russian oapitol, the baokbona of Slav resistance would be badly bent, if not wholly broken. Only tbs ligora of a winter oampaign and a reorgan ized Russian army of millions oonld nosslbly shake the Tentonio grasp from Petrograd, onoe that oity falls. From all BDDearauoes it is np to tbe Slav to extrloate himself from bis perilous nrediaament, with bnt little or no aid . from tno allies. At present Franoe and Eugland are kept bnsy protecting their trenob lines in the Western the- ' aire of war, while tbe Italian troops are playing a hldu-and-seek game with the Anstriaus, with butlittla advan age gained. Senator Burton of Ohio, he of filibustering fame against rivers and harbors and sbip purchase, visited Portland tba other day. The Fort land Oregonian introduced him to the public as a great statesman, and ac claimed blm as a probable presidential candidate. Bnt the produoers ol of grain in tbe Northwest rememter him best as a olog to ocean trans portation, v Hereby tbey stand to lose millions of dollars through manip nltions of tbe sbiD-owuing trust, made possible by bis vigorous opposition to government purohase and control ol gmin ourrying ships. While Mr. Bur ton of Ohio receives tbe honor of half tone photos and editorial euoominrni in tba Oregonlau, the rauohers of Ore goo and the other ooast states are be ing throttled out of crop protlts in trltnteto the Autumn call of higb ohartera for overseas shipping. Uroat la this fellow Burton. lie Is also strong on war thnnder.

I Thus Did Noah According to plana and apeoifloationa of the Supreme Arobiteot, Noub bnilded an ark, that withstood tbe rain for forty daja and forty nights. Ibe plans oalled for a oertain kind ot timoer and oertain dimen sions. Ibe waters prevailed npon tbe earth one bnndiel and forty days. Every living oreatnre perished save those witbin tbe promotion ot LUMBER, Can we get auy better hnildiug material 'kthan tbat whioh has tbe stamp ot this Arobiteot npon it? Hie wisdom is never exoelledty man's invention. " Lumber baa ever been man's bsst friend from tbs oradle, and tbe homes of tbe living to tbe sbronds of the dead. It is more sanitary (ban other building material and jnat as warm when properly dried and pnt together.- Noah baa proven to ns tbat there is no better proteotion from the weather, to both man and beast than abetter built of LUMBER.
