Washington, D. C, June 19. How Oermsn Intrigue began and grew in Russia l strikingly told In a bullc tln issued by the National Geograph ic Society, based on a rommunloa tlon to the Society from Stanley Washburn, the correspondent from Russia, the bulletin nays: "To understand the almost unsur mountable handicap unler which Russia has been laboring, it Is neces sary to appreciate the natii.e and tn.- pnrtance of the (Verinnn -influm-i In' Kuala, which for the lai: decade or two has become auch a vlt.il menace to the Independance of thw Russian - people. .. ,.,!,,, ..,...-. 1.,,.. . rllJ "Aftw the Franco-Prussian war, wb?n the new economic and Industri al era began to develop. In' the Tmi on Empire, it was but natural that the Germans should look to Russia for their most Important market. At first this outlet for their trade was an a luxury o their economic develop ment, but as, to a greater anT$reater extent, their trade became commit ted to this vast territory It became more and more of an economic ne cessity that they retain and' increase their grip on Russia. "The northern or Baltic provinces of Russia are v,ery largely populated by persons of (let-man blood who have for many generations been Rus sian subjects. It Is natural that these people In a measure should feel and understand G-erman Inspiration and aid and abet their plana as much as possible. "By this I do not mean to assert that all Baltic Russians are pro-Oer-man for some of the ablest and most loyal men are from this part of Rus sia: but It Is true that many of the worst Influences have also been of Baltic Province extraction, for ten WHAT-AN-ARMY-NUMBERS Washington D. C, Jun. 18. Esti mate, of the probable size of the L'nited States that will be raised for '.he present war range from 1,000, , 500 to 2,000,(100 men, By splitting -he difference between these twe e 'inates the sum of 1,600,008 men is ''tallied to use as a baai of caloula 'iii Now what dues an army of 0,000 men really moan? Such an army would embrace five eg as many American soldiers, an needed to win the war of inde 'ence. It would equal nearly " times the total number of Unlt tes troops engaged in the. wat "1 and would exceed by nearly ,2S,0O0 the number of United Slat is soldiers who took part in the, wat with Spain, What extent of grnund would such in'army cover? JuHt 1058 miles. rhi is 150 miles, roughly, than the listanca betwen New York and Chl ago. Marching by fou, in the reg jlar military alignment, this. VHst irmy with horses and mules, cannori ind escort wagons, pontoons and hos jltal trains, would stretch fully ne ihird of the wW across the United States. WEDNESDA BESSIE LOVE IN years before the war we can trace the German influence through every specious channel of intrigue and ma levolent activity to gain ascendancy In the internal politics of the Russian Government. "There la little reason to doubt that the German influence has aimed In every way to check the growth of lib eralism In Russia. There are many who believe that but for the German influence there would have come the abolition of the vodka five years ago. The elimination of this curse would have meant education, and with edu cation inevitably must have come the demand for more liberal goernment and a ministry responsible for the Puma. "Alone the Germans could not have hoped to exert this Influence; but we fltld In Russia another group, com monly known as bureaucracy, who a community of Interests with the Teutons The bureaucracy represents the office-holders and officials ap pointed by the Throne, who have for generations, and one might almost say for centuries, preyed upon the rest.orces of the Russian Empire. "There has been during and be fore the -war a co-operation betwetn these two parties, the ndurtng pres tige of which depended on German victory and Russian defeat It Is clear that if Germany had been over whelmingly defeated both the pro German and the bureaucrats would have lost the hold they had on the Russian Empire, "It Is probably true none of these dark forces had any great ppre henslon at the beginning of the wif that Germany could lose; for, being well aware of Russia's unprepared ness, It seemed incredible that she could triumph over her enemy ef ficient, and ready for 'the war." If they kept passing day and night marehlng all twenty-fonr hour, they would take seventeen and on'e-half day. to pass any point, The regular military march for any body of aea soned troops is fifteen mfleg a day It would take this army ef 1,1188.000 men JiiBt seventy days to deploy that Is to maneuver thi. line or fee the rear troops to reach tho front r'lfc-ured according to army Utile, mid. a body of troop, would require 511,501) animals and 81.888 vehioles Including guns. If they made one great camp it would cover 83 947 .icres or tliirty,eight square mile..' To maintain this army would re quire several million . dollars a da. fn less than a week the pay of the Ifoops would buy the' Woolworth building, one of the. costliest struu tures in the world. At 6 a head it would cost 88,88. fii just to give a service unlferni. Shoes would cost an additional 86, 000,000 or 87.110.800, to say nothing of overcoat blankets, hat, rifle, oi any othev uf the multlfarinu. (qultf; men) of the soldier, of teday. " These so'.dter. would cat 6;fSa,88 pounds of food a day. Their animals A : J Y to KG would consume almost as much fod der 6,188,000 pounls of hay and grain. It woulck reoulre 2K nnn mil. way cars to transport the l,500,t)vv, men or if It were one gigantic car, It would be seventy miles long. An Brmv mairnn etaw-L ra- r 4 Ttfe pounds. Now an army lugg along at ! least ten days rations which mean 46,430 wagon loads. The army would require 31 5,000, 000 cartridges a day, weighing 26, 250,000 pounds three times heavier than the vast dome of the Capitol in Washington. It is estimated in the present war that Germany, France and Russia each has kept upward of 5,000,000 men under arms, with the forces of England, Italy and Austria-Hungary ranging heteween 2,000,000 and 4, 000,000 each. These figure, totaling many times the 1,500,000 used as a basis for calculations, afford an Idea of the stupendous scale oil which , the great war is conducted.

It ought to be a lasting triumph over that meet, dread ed of all human recollections the eentury-o!dJnherltance of political crime. Let me try and shew yeu the back ground against which I ee this war. I wa. born and eduoaUd In one ot the email neutral countries of th. old continent, From earliest childhood 1 waa surrounded by ghastly recollec tions of the past, Note mere vague rumor, of year, of starvation follow ed ly conquest, followed by the plen ty of conquest, But grave realltle which had meant ruin and death te many of my immediate ancestors. In a little cupboard were tho buttons worn hy my maternal great grana father, who was dragged to Moscow by the hungry pridu of Napoleon. In the room of my parents (here hung the picture of my paternal . gretit grandfather, whoae small fortune was swept away when the foreign deapot. Who destroyed our indepen dance confiscated every penny we po seaaed. At the school I learned my geegraphy, a"cl on every continent of Asia and Africa and America it wa. the same dreary story of a large Hmplre grown rich at the expense of itn weak neighbor. When I was six teen the war for the independance of Holland was begun. We, ifoye in Hol land saw th. baekwash ef this un even conflict. 'I'h. noble figure of Breaid.nt Stem f the tree State, k man like a full-grown treu hut tent riun and broken from hardriii and suffering pushed along In a liltie earriag.

Our futile anger at the conqueror as offset by the Indignation we felt against tho potentate who professed his love for the struggling Boers while he provid ed their enemies with elaborate plans of campaign and valuable military advice. Indeed, it seemed that in this world there was no right. Might alone was the Lord of Hosts. That was fifteen, years. Not a quarter of a lifetime:. Yet the world has changed. A ray of light appear ed on the horizon when the conquer or of that day proved to be a gen erous friend willing to undo the harm of a mistaken political faction. South Africa, a willing and enthusiastic member of a union of independent dominions, taught the world that the old order of things had ceased to be. France once the destructive force of or continent, aspired to be the leader In all those arts which make life worth living. And when the brute force of militarism was turned against the undefended 'lndiviriualiii? of a small state and the foul visitation of war was forced upon unwilling Bel glum, the rest of Europe combined to uphold the great new principle which told us that the ethics and morals of the Individual should be those of the nation. That waa three years ago. And now America has gone In. At last we may expect the political and spiritual re generation of the human race. For when we. fight the Germans, we are not fighting a nation composed of so many millions of men and women. We are fighting an Idea. The Indi vidual enemy Is a negligible detail. Our guns are not aimed at his trenches and fortlficatlems. ' They a,-e Intended to destroy his Ideal, that same principle of might above right which other and older nations have successively discarded as unworthy of a commonwealth of free men. For over a century the nations of Europe and not the least those small nations who can compete In matters of the spirit but not In the figures of military statistics have looked up to America for their In spiration. America was the tanglble proteet against the political concep tion, of Europe. America desired no territorial gains'. America wished for no forced suppression of the In dividual. It only desired to give nil men a free and equal chance, But America wa. far away, We In Eurnpe saw It only threugh the distorted hane of the ocean's distance. Until this moment, 'America has at last gene across the ocean to help us realise our hopes and our dreams If they ceme true, If America will remain true to hei original mission, tho gratitude of fu ture generations will know this con flict as the crusade against militarism for the lasting Ideal, And they will call it, "America's War."

Ellis Terse Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young People's Societies Christum I'.u devor, Ktc For June 21: "Mis sion Work In our cities." I's. 87:1-7 The city is one of the big modern j problems. It Is so vast, so intricate, iso unknowatly a thing that usually only phases of it are considered at a time. Some speakers talk of the city when they only mean a part of it that is given over to the poverty and vice. Others have in mind only the princi pal "down town" portions, when they talk of the city, meaning there by the main thoroughfares, the ho tels, the big stores, the places ot amusement and the railway stations. Still others regard the city in an en tirely material sense its buildings, its industries. Its wealth. A city la all these and much more. And In any light It Is worth studying as the greatest, albeit perhaps the most perilous product of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Of late years the churches have made a vigorous effort to grapple with what they call the city problem. Church extension and city mission committees of varying efficiency, are common in ail denominations. Preaching places, which commonly develop into full-fledged church", fojlow- the growth of population. Rescue mlss-lonsi are maintained In the congested sections. The foreign population Is given special attention, Nevertheless, city mission work ma still be said to be In an experimental stage. Nobody thinks that the rem rllea eniial the needs. There is a vital something .till lacking so that the life of the average city may ralr ly be said to be less religious than the life of the same number of per sons In the country. The religious forces of North America are only now awakening to the importance of one of thtir great est problems; namely ' how to merge tho vast alien population Into the Christian life of the new world. Frankly, only the most shallow and most perfunctory efforts have been put forth until quite recently, to ward the solution of this o,uerion. Nor has there bs yet appeared any adequate statesmanlike '" method oi dealing with the Immigration, prob lem. The new firing line of Christian progress Is in the city, There center tho problems that Hie likely to give the twentieth century tbte greatest concern. The congealed and eon glomerate oharacter of certain largt, section, of most modern municipali ties has created an entirely new set of social problems. Some of these aro so graVe hs to alarm thoughtful rili ens. I'olitioal economists are point ing out that the next generation will have to face difficulties much graver than any that confronted the pio neers who made two great nation, on this western continent.

LESS DEMAND FOR SUGAR IN PARIS DUE TO FRUGALITY (Correipondence ot Th AtaociJttd Press.) Paris, June 23. The demand for sugar In Paris has fallen to one-third of what it wa. before the card sys tem was adopted. Advocates of the system conclude from from this re sult thai the cards have Imposed fru gality. They ask for the extension of the system to meat, bread, coal and gasoline. It is asserted, however that this reduced demand for sugar is not necessarily due to decreased consumption. Most housewives, anticipating the introduction of cards, and laid in a supply that will last another month or more. A great many retail dealers, grocers, bakers, and burchers are In favor of the card system In preference to meatless days and other restric tions that disturb the routine of busi ness.. They contend that It Is .the only effective means of effecting real and substantial ernnomlcs. Meatless days they say would result In consid erable wastage through the disorgan ization of shipping during the) heatel reason.
