WAR OF SUPPLY
V.MtlB, Aug, 15. Tho extent, 'o
which .lupan is clothing, shoeing.
arming and munitioning tho Hussliin
army, waa forcllily presented to I
military observer, who has Just re
turned from a trip along the Itussluu
front.
"1 was astonished," he said, "to
find great numbers of Mussina sol
diers, clothed from head to foot In
uniforms made in rfupau, not only
lite tunic and trousers, but even the
leggings. They carried on their
shoulders .lapaueso guns. Their
cartridge belts wore filled with
cartridges made in Japan. Their
leather belts and buckles were from
Japan. And (lie stout, hobnail shoes
they wear are from hides gathered
in Korea and made Into shoes In
Japan, so there you see a Russian
soldier In Japancso dollies, Japan
ese shoos, with Japanese gun, Japan
ese niuiiitinll ton and Jupnncse ''
couterment." "How did these supplies get from
Japan to the Russian front?" our
observer wub asked.
"It wan noted." said ho, "that
about the only vital point where the
Cermans had not been aide to send
their submarines was In the waters
of the cast China sen, the Stralls of
Korea and the Hoa of Japan. These
are the waters separating Japan and
Russia and the Asiatic mainland and
tho routes over them, commercial
and military, are open without men
ace." "What arms and munition is Rus
sia getting from Japan?" was asked.
"All sorts" was tho reply "from
tho service rifle and small Held
pieces up to the big 1 2-Inch guns.
"it iB said that French and
Japanese officers are now furnishing
the expert direction of tho Russian
artillery fire, which lias made it so
effective. Did you see any of these
officers?" was asked.
"No, and til report Is not cor
rect," said tho observer. "The Rus
sian artillery officers are directing
their own fire and uro getting splen
did results. The only Japanese and
French oriicers are tlioso temporarily
assigned to the working of a now
piece, just as an expert is sent along
to explain any complicated piece of
machinery. Japanese experts accom
panied th0 big 12-inch . Japanese
guns, not to maneuver It in action,
but to explain how It Is to be maneu
vered. That is tlie extent of their
help, and the Russians should get
full credit for what they have ac
complished in operating their artil
lery. No, tho Japanese have done
reinarkubiy well In arming, clothing
and munitioning the Russians, but
they huvo not had a chanco to do
the fighting.

jUX1OX, A in?. The forth
coming loan, to be isned in the
United Slates tor Great Iliiluin Is re
garded in hanking circles as a pre
liminary move to protect exchange,
which recently has been allowing
signs of drooping.,
The amount of issue is so small,
however, that the belief is expressed
that a more comprehensive operation
which will include counlrlcs allied to
Great Britain, may be undertaken in
the near future.
It lias been reported that a new
ttritish loan, the amount of which
has been given variously as $l,"i(,-
iHHl.OtMl to $l'.M.tlon,t)itn, would lie
Issued shortly. It is understood the
loan will be secured by American
stocks and bonds, which the British
government has been mobilizing.

What Is Mr. Hughes' Answer?
The day alter .Mr. Hughes' speech
of acceptance was published, 37
American '"writers of nation-wide
reputation Issued the statement which
is printed below. The ipiestions con
tained in the statement, urc vital, and
answers to them by Mr. Hughes nro
absolutely necessary In considering
ills claims lo the presidency. Though
the high standing of the distinguished
writers who prepared the statement
fully justifies a reply, Mr. . Hughes
has paid no attention to the state
ment, nor replied to any of. tho ipies
tions. In fairness and candor, Mr.
Hughes, as a candidate for -the
highest office within tho fight of the
American people, ought to make re
ply. To Hie Honorable Charles E.
Hughes:
Tlie prfesslonal writers who sign
this letter have small Interest in par
ties, but a very deep Interest In
democracy. It Is our hope, through
this voluntary association to assist in
tho promotion of honest, educational
discussion, in order that fundamental
Issues may not bo decided In prejudice
anil ignorance.
Mr. Wilson's beliefs have been ex
pressed In law and in declared poli
cies. Ho has made an open record
by which he may he judged. Wise
choice Is not possible unless you,
yourself make equally specific state
ment of purposes and convictions.
Without Intent to offend, we feel
Justified In charging that In no single
public utterance have you filed a bona
fide hill of particulars, nor have you
offered a single constructive sugges

tion. Generalities are without value;
blanket criticism Is worthies').
What we desire to know, what it
IK fair that the electorate should
know, are the exact details of your
disagreement with President Wilson.
What lias he dono that yon would
not havo done and what has ho failed
to do that you would have done or
propose to do? Honesty and patriot
Ism demand that you put yourself
upon record In such manner as to per
mit people to judge you as they are
now able to judge President Wilson.
Kor example
1. Would you have filed Instant
protest against tho invasion of Bel
glum and hacked up that protest with
tho United .States navy?
2 dt Is arrant nonsense to talk
about action that would have (Ire
vented the Lusitania tragedy. The
vaguo advertisement did not appear
until shortly before the hour of sail
ing. The occurrence was one of these
things that civilization has made the
world regard as incredible. Tho only
honest question Is this: Would you
ha broken relations with llermnny
nt once? .
3 Would you' havo urged upon
congress un embargo upon tho ship
ment of munitions to the allies?
4 Would you urge universal com
pulsory military service?
. You are frank in stating that
Huerta's morals were of no concern
to America; does this mean that you
would have recognized Huerta?
0 As matters stand today, would
you he in favor of Intervening in
Mexico?
, 7 Does your attack on tlie Wilson
