Dispossession of German Industrial
Element When War Broke Out
Crippled Country.
WESTERN ALLIES CANNOT HELP
TOKIO. Aug. 23. The Kokumin
Shlmbun Bays:
"Premier Okuma states that Japan
has decided to give greater assist
ance to Russia to prosecute the war.
He could not discuss details, but al
lowed it to be understood that this
assistance would take the form of the
forwarding of greater supplies of
munitions."
Raaa Position Difficult.
The position of Russia in regard to
obtaining war supplies has been one
of unusual difficulty.
The Russians as a people are not
given to industrial pursuits and
their manufacturing plants utilized
for the production of guns and am
munition were manned and directed
largely by Germans at the time the
war began. The dispossession of the
powerful German element in Russia,
which occurred In the early period
of the war, left the nation unprepared
to operate effectively even the lim
ited number of establishment at its
disposal.
Russia obtained a considerable amount
of supplies from Japan by railroad, but
this source was cut oft suddenly for
some time in the spring. The crisis In
the relations between Japan and China
became so serious that Japan, foreseeing
the possibilities of hostilities, devoted Its
energies to the accumulation of war sup
plies for itself.
Although Russia haa placed extensive
orders in thla country It has received
from the United States little In the war
of runs and shells. The shipments to
Russia from Pacifies porta have consisted
principally of suppUes such as motor
trucks and other heavy equipment.
, Coald Help Little.
France and England have found that
the unexpected demand for ammunition
during the warJas,jtlralned their, re
sources to the utmost, so that they have
been abel to lend Russia HiMa assistance
In this respect. The Inauguration of the
great Austro-Oermah movement found
Russia unable to meet the emergency
with any such array of guns and ahella
as were possessed by ita opopnenta. Rus
alan military experts attribute to thla
fact the rapidity of the Auatrc-German
advance, atatlng that the fall of Warsaw,
aa well aa the eventa which preceded It,
waa brought on largely by this state of
affairs.
Advices received by the a sAsoclated
Press from Vladivostok several weeks
ago said that great amounts of supplies
were received there fop transportation to
the Russian front. Word waa received
from Toklo early thla month that Japan
had atrlpped large coast guna from i's
fortifications on the northeastern coast
and had shipped them to Vladivostok.

went Into the bathroom and locked the
door. A few minutes later the household
was aroused when "he cried. "Grandma,
grandma, cpmjt.. quirk, -I'm burning- up''-
Mrs. Margaret Brown, the boy's grand
mother was the first to get to the door
and she attempted to force it. A moment
later George Hale of Lincoln, an undo
of the child, who ,was vtaitlng at tho
Riley home, put his shojdor to the panel,
but before the lock could be forced, ac
cording to Mrs. Brown, the little fel
low turned the key and opened the door
himself. His night dress was burning.

hands. From the "residence the boy was
carried to a nearby drug store and from

Statement About

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Wllllam J. Bryan,
former secretary of state, last night gave
out a signed statement in prt, aa fol
lows: "I have road the editorial oplnloiu. con
cerning the rinking of the Arabic, aa
thoaa opinions were reproduced In Sat
urday morning's papers, but they seem
to me to avoid the mat important ques
tion. The real question la not whether
American cltlsena have, under Interna
tional law, a ritfht to travel through the
danger aono on the ships of belligerent
nations. That is admitted. The question
Juat now is whether an American citizen
should put Ms convenience or even hla
rights above his nation's welfare. If
American cltlsena refute to consider their
own safety or the safety of nation, then
a second question arises, namely, whether
the government should permit a few per
sona to drag the whole country into thla
unparalled war."

Serbia Agrees to
Meet Italy's Views
Regarding Albania
MILAN, Aug. S3.-Vla Parls.)-One of
the main difficulties In the way or a
aolutlon ef the Balkan problem favorable
to the entente allies has been settled, ac
cording to an interview with Premier
Pachitch ef Serbia, published In the
Corriere Delia Serra, The premier la
quoted aa saying that Serbia has given
way to Italy regarding Albania.
Premier Pachitch, according to the
newspaper, went over several phases of
the present situation as well aa declar
ing that Auatrla had tried several times
since the beginning of the war to con
clude a separate peace with Serbia, but
met with refusal from the Serbian gov
ernment.
"The Inaction of the Serbian army," the
premier said, "was due to sanitary con
ditlona and the necessity for reorganisa
tion and the accumulation of war sup
plies. When the moment comes, lie de
clared, the Serbian array will fight stead
fastly and in accord for the Balkan
people.
"Serbia has been endeavoring ever slnoe
the beginning of the war to reach an
agreement with Bulgaria and In trying
to do ao now." the premier aald, "on a
baala conserving the vital Interesta of
both countries." So far as concerns Al
bania, the premier Is quoted as declaring
Serbia bows to the decision of Europo
and wishes a friendly solution of the
Adrlatlo question with Italy, acknowledg
ing the predominant position of Italy in
that field.
Daily From

employes of the central charity organi
sation were among those who have made
application to the Red Cross for assist
ance. ouch supplies as were brought In by
General Oonialea when Carransa forcee
reoccupled the capital on Auguat t are
nearly exhausted. The situation la auch
that only large supplies of provisions
from outside the capital can prevent an
increase m the number of deaths from
starvation and allay the misery among
tbe lower claaaes and even the middle
clasaes.
A comparison of prices during July,
1914. and July, tals year, shows the fol
lowing Increases:
Corn 1400 per cent; beans, 2200 per cent;
rice, 1420 per cent; flour, 900 per cent.
The Increase In price of corn, the only
abaolutely essential ataple for the Mas

REED'S DECISION
HITSJOREHEAD
flAVftrriA H(Tftialiaal anil Tm Qtoff '
of State Officers Put in Pickle
by His Action.
EXECUTIVE MAY LOSE BIS JOB
(From a Htaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Aut 23. (Spe
cial.) Is Governor Morehead and
other state officers holding office
without authority of law, la a ques
tion which la being; discussed on ac
count of the ruling of Attorney Gen
eral Reed that because the members
of the railway commission hav given
no bond, they have no right to hold
office and, therefore, their offices
are vacant.
If the interpretation ot tbe conatU
tut Inn hy-the attorney general la cor
rect, Governor Morehead haa no au
thority to appoint a new commission
and Lieutenant Governor James Pier-
eon of Morefleld is tbe governor of j
Nebraska by succession and will have !
the power to appoint a new commls
Blon. - Baala ef need's Oplalom.
In his message to the governor the at
torney general based his grounds for his
opinion principally on Section 2f of
Article 6 of the constitution' which reads:
"The officers mentioned In this article
shall give bonds In not less than double j
the amount of money that may come Into i
their hands and In no case less than the i
sum of SoO.ooo, with such provisions as to
sureties and the approval thereof and for ,
the Increase of the penalty of such bonds,
as may be prescribed by law."
The officers alluded to In the above
section are named in Section 1 of the
same article and are the governor,
lieutenant governor, secretary of state,
auditor, treasurer, superintendent, attor
ney general and land commissioner. An
amendment to the constitution a few
years ago made the three members ef the
State Railway commission also eleotlve
officers and the code committee which
prepared the statutes placed the amended
section under the head of exeoutlve of
ficers in Article 6. designating the para
graph as Section "19A."
C'nnstltatlea Amended.
However, the proposition which sub
mitted the amendment to the people for
a vote did nut amend the article, but
amended the ccitltutlon, so that It is
claimed that the new matter in the con
stitution should not have bean Inserted
under the executive head, but at the end
of the constitution.
However, the appearance ot the railway
commission amendment does not coma
Into the proposition of the validity of the
bonds given by the governor, secretary
of state and treasurer. Under the read
ing of that section of the constitution the
said state officers must give a bond In
double the amount of money coming into
their hands.
The last biennial reports of the differ
ent state officers show that the governor,
aa dairy, food and oil commissioner, re
ceived in fees $178,000. As hotel commis
sioner he took In Sll.OoO. As head of the
fish and game commission he took in
t&,00. As head of the fire commission
he took In S2f,0i0. Aa head of the state
veterinsry department he took in $40,000.
Under the interpretation which the at
torney general glvea the constitution, the
governor should have given a bond for at
least $3&c,oia or the bond would be of no

The text of the statement issued
today regarding war operations is as
follows:
"Karly this morning nn enemy

"On bcth sides of Bvltjoze and at Pls
sosa. et'at of Vladlva the enemy waa
defeated yesterday and driven back to

Lost Western Fortrraa.
The fall of Osaowets deprives the Rus
slanaof the last of their westernmost
fortresses. It la altuated 'about twenty
miles Inside the ftuaslan frontier, opposite
the East Prussian border and the Ma
surian lake country. Its fall had been
expected Inaamuch as the retreat further
eastward ot the great bulk of the Russlun
forces almost Isolated the garrison.
Oasowets, a first-class fortress, derives
strategic importance from the fact that
it guards the railway approach to Hialy
stok and the great Petrograd-Warsaw
trunk line.

LONDON, Auk. 23. The capltalf
cf tbe entente allies are Jubilaq
tcdajr over the unexpected naval Tl
tory which the Russians, accordin(
to their accounts, have won In th
Ctulf of Riga. England had mor
than n sympathetic Interest In th
battle, as a British submarine ao
counted for tbe German battli
cruiser Moltke, the loss of which,
added to the destruction of twj
cruisers, eight torpedo boats and
four transports, constitutes th
greatest naval disaster suffered bj
Germany during the war.
For the last wck both Petrograd and

Germany waa attempting to land foroei

flank of Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg

The official report, claiming a decisive
victory for the allies, together with the
expulsion of surviving units ef the Ger
man naval forces from the gulf, contains
few details In addition to an enumeration
of Herman losses. It Is assumed that,
Inasmuch as Petrograd announoed sev

fenses, worked unexpected destruction
on a part of the Oerman fleet and the

Moral Bffeet Large.
The moral effect of this action on the
Russian people, Is expected In London,
to be great and will probably do much
to allay the depression Incident to the
continued Russian retreat, which has
been arrested nowhere except In the
