NOME, ALASKA, JULY 19, 1916.
The sudden and remarkable suc
cesses attending the renewal of the
Russian offensive suggest that the
"steam roller,” recently the joke of the
pro -1 a rina rates, lias developed into
something more than a facetious term.
Indeed, it commences to appear that
not only is the Russian “roller” very
nun’ll a reality but has also developed
an extraordinary head of steam and
is proceeding to the task of flatten
ing out its opposers in a manner truly
typical of that contrivance of iron and
steel after which it is named. The
comparison ceases with this, however,
as the reorganized and newly develop
lietir of the steam roller only in its
display of remarkable facility in
crushing down opposition. in other
respects tile new military organiza
tion betrays little sign of the slow,
unwieldly tiling of metal. From the
war reports it may be judged that it
lias developed a remarkable agility, a
i'iipin'll\ to go ahead at a most amaz
ing rule, ;is well as a singular propen
sity for gobbling up large sections of
l la' enemy, in addition to flattening
out ihe Teuton opposition, it has per
formed such prodigies in this latter
respect that one cannot consistently
doubt that even the Germans are as
tonished.
The remarkable ease with which the
newly developed military organiza
tion tins swept aside opposition has
done more than amaze the Germans,
it has also astonished the world, in
cluding tiie military experts. If it is
remembered rightly, the latter gentle
men early in the war laid down the
then incontrovertible dictum that it
required three years to develop an ef
ficient army, starting with the raw
material. One Kitchener, of lamented
memory, disputed the theory to the
extent that he attempted to build an
army in a year. And, while he suc
ceeded in a remarkable degree, in
creating an excellent military force
within that period, his success was in
no degree comparable with that of Rus
sia. who has, on the ruins of the beaten
and shattered remains of great army
which confronted the Teutons at the
opening of the war, Guilt a military
organization in eight months which~
in stn ngth and efficiency seems to
"■ l'i! if not excell that of her primary
enemy. Germany. Descriptions of the
new Russian war machine by trained
aed eh ver observers unite in charact
eiizinjr it as a wonderful development
r,f organization and efficiency—an
opinion lhal is seemingly well sus
tained by its amazing display of acti
vities.
I ven I he grudging attestations of
liaise who incline to the opposite side
of the great international controversy
hear witness that the new Slav army
is extraordinary in full sense of the
lerm. Three separate articles by mil
itary observers attached to the Aus
trian forces, lately perused, describe
lhe abilities of the czar's army in
superlative terms and openly admit
that in point of organiation and mili
tary capacity it is the marvel of the
war.
Just how Russia has accomplished
this wonderful result In the short
space of eight months is probably a
secret known only to herself and, per
haps, that cunning little military mar
vel of the past decade, Japan, whom
we very much suspect has had no
small share in the development of this
remarkable war machine. We are, of
course, aware that Japan has furnish
ed at least a large share of the sup
plies and accoutrements of the Rus
sians to perform such prodigies.
We do not intend to detract from
the abilities of the Russians by offer
ing a pointed assertion that Japanese
knowledge and training are respon
sible for tlie skillfully developed anil
highly organized army, but signs are
not wanting that it may be true. It
is true ttmt the Russian military lead
ers have acquired a great deal of
knowledge and experience in the midst
of the manifold vicissitudes of the
war. At times they have been victor
and vanquished, winners and losers;
now the leaders of victorious and ir
resistable cohorts, again the desper
ate defenders of a defeated and dis
organized horde. They have encoun
tered about every variety of experience
that can fall to the lot of military
commanders except that they have not
been utterly overwhelmed. Had that
happened they would not, of course,
lie leading new armies at the present
time. Through it all they learned a
great deal that would assist them in
perfecting a new army of still greater
efficiency than the older one. But,
even allowing for possibilities in this
respect, it is believed that such re
markable results as have been uttain
ed bespeak the presence of the brown
men of Nippon somewhere behind the
Russian battle lines. Such a remark
aide military development would be a
great credit to even the wonderful
military skill of the Germans. But, as
it is plain that they had no hand In
! b. Japan seems the only other nation
possessing skill equal lo such a task.

FEW RANCHERS MAY
GET TITLE TO GROUND
The secretary of the interior. In a
decision received by the Juneau land
office, has held that fox raising is one
of the productive Industries of Alas
ka. The decision further says that all
fox raisers are entitled to secure title
to their land under the trade and
manufacturing site law.
In thi' case of \V. Mason Putnam,
who has a fox ranch on Katehmak
hay, the secretary has allowed him to
proceed to secure title of 40 acres
under that act. It has been hard on
the fox ranchers heretofore to secure
title, as under the homestead law, the
land must he cultivated, while in fox
raising tho land must he left wild.

GENEVA—Prom Brescia the Swiss
Alpine troops in the Stelvia pass
have noticed a slim Italian girl, aged
about IS, armed with a rifle, climb

daily up to tho Austrian frontier and
spending most of the days there. One
of the Swiss soldiers inquired what
she was doing. The Italian girl re
plied fiercely: “They have killed ray
two brothers and my fiancee anil I am
taking mv revenge. I think I have
four Austrians, but that is not enough.
I shall continue shooting until I am
