UNFAIR TO AUSTRIA
St. Petersburg dispatches clearly
make studied efforts to belittle tlie
part wUcli the armies of the dual
monarchy are playing In the great
est war the world has ever witness
ed. The Russian statments are
grossly inconsistent in that respect.
They Quote the Russian minis
ter of war as saying that the en
tire army of Austria-Hungary is
20 the field in Galicia and Russian
Pol an J, but although R Is esti
mated by him to be l,O0O,uou
strong it is outnumbered by the
Russians and being forced to yie^
ground. General Sukhoiniiuoit
boasts that his hosts can "smother
1,000,000 Austrians," and he is
quoted as adding that "The Ger
mans are the only ones that bother
us."
But it appears from official De
leting published at the Russian
capital that two Russian armies
are operating against the Austro
Uungarian forces and one against
the Germans in East Prussia. If
thq Austro-Hungarian army is not
of such quality as to compel Rus
sian respect whj take great pains
to outnumber such a foe? Why
not send one of the two armies
opposing the troops of the dual
monarchy to tha assistance of the
Russian army which is admittedly
being "bothered" J>jr thq Germans
—a very mild word If th$ German
reports of a Russian rout and the
capture of T0.000 Russian prison
ers are era* tea per cent true.
Austria-Hungary is no small
factor In thq tremendous war. The
soldiers of the empire-kingdom
are living up to the traditions of
a nation with & long and proud
history in battle, siege and cam
paign. They may be overcome by
prodigious numbers, but they will
not be disgraced, and the size of
the army nent against them by the
Ciar's ministers shows how they
are really rated In St. Petersburg.
Being mpret o| Albania hfts
done even more to Prince •William
of Wled than the same sounds
like.
Even the possession of a White
Czar does not serve to win for
Russia the favor of Senator Tar
daman. It has a Black Sea.
If this war doesn't let up sooa,
election day will be at hand, with
nobody able to recall to mind who
the candidates are.
Also this war is decidedly hard
on the four-flusher whos^ only
stock la trade Is tha publicity; they
can get. , — ^ t
Perhapa, now, the California
wine producers will feel that they
are forecd to take the French
same® off their bottles.
Things have changed. Berlin,
instead of P*rl», seems to be the
chief attraction for thq Russian
military prince* and tfrand dukes
just now.
Everybody isn't downeast be
cause of the slaughter going
on In Europe. A deaf and dumb
girl has been arrested for flirting
in a Philadelphia park after dark.
Military mathematicians esti
mate that It cost« $20,000 to kill
a man In war. But in this country
It doesnt cost anything near tkat
sum to kill a mas Is times of
peace.
In spite of Harry Thaw, Gover
nor Blease, Captain Hobson, Bill
Sulzsr and Tammany, the Ameri
can tourist* returning from across
the Atlantic baye found out that
this is a p»etty good country after
all. ^ ^
EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Buunel press wants to know
what Wickersham has done. Since
being in Washington he has made a
: lot of people sit up and take notice,
j and everyone has been made aware
I ol the fact that he has ben camping
on the job all the time.
The Dispatch would agaiu respect
fully suggest that those supporting
Air. Bunnell devote a little more
space to his qualifications instead
of advertising Wickersham so much.
The delegate has made his reputa
tion.
What has Wickersham done? It
would require several volumes and
more space than there is white pa
per in Alaska for printing to re
count all he has done.—Juneau Dis
patch.
It's all right to talk about the
war, but don't forget to talk busi
ness.
To any European power desir
ous of obtaining the services of a
man richly endowed by nature for
the Job of news censor, we take
pleasure in recommnding John
A Xew Back foj an Old One. How
it Out bo Don* in Alaska.
The back aches at times with a
dull, iudescrlbabl# filing, making
▼ou weary and r«atles«; piercing
pain* shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame that to stoop la agony No use
to rub or apply & plaster to the
back if the kidneys are weak. You
cannot reach the cause. AlasKan
residents would do well to profit
by the following example,
John I. Conger, prop, printing
shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St., Salem,
Oregon, says: "My back got weak
and sore and my kidneys did not
act as they should. At limes I
could hardly straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief and it
took them only a short time to
ri^ me of kidney trouble. I public
ly endorsed them several years ago
a-d am glad to do so again."
Priec 50 c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—ge
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Conger had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
