RUSS WARRIOR TRIES TO GET TO SCRANTON With Wife and Eighteen, All in Fur, He Shuttles Back and Forth New York. lt was not in the mind of Michael Rassoulovich. the traveler, to waste time in New York. He was one who had seen the great ports of Sebastopol and Seattle, and who was to look upon, and soon, the prominent American 'city of Scran ton. So for Michael, arriving with the dawn the other day, it was off i one train and onto another as speed- j lly as might be. Much moving about the world—] even to cast aside those experiences! in the war which had won him the little white enamel Cross of St. George which flapped against his chest above his heart—had endowed j Michael with a grand self-reliance.; He spoke no English, but straight-1 way he found his Scranton train. Finds His Own Train Aye. he found it. right handy to: the Grand Central Station, in a hole in the ground, as deep as that through which he had been shot 'nto the city, and upon it he marched his wife and his eighteen fur-coated: children. Michael wore a great fur coat him-1 self. But for all his six foot of height and his tremendous breath: that and the Cross of St. George I were his only burdens. Mamma Ras-' soulovich was a little wonder. In her arms, nestling inside her fur coat in a tiny fur coat of its own, | nestled the youngest. Upon her! back she cheerfully bore a trundle; bed, a samovar, a frying pan. many, wondrous wreaths of garlic and sun dry other appurtenances of the| household. parlor, chamber and' kitchen. It was before the earliest of early rush hour* then and Michael and his family had the whole of a car to themselves. No such car had Michael ever seen; before lpon all his travels. The: seats ran lengthwise: uprights of, glistening whiteness divided it; offi-1 i ials of the road in snowy uniforms! officiated at cither end and by a spe-l cies of magic caused doors in the. very center to fly open, even and acain, without even approaching: thorn. It struck Michael Rassoulovich at first that travel between New York, and Scranton was so light as to indi- j • ate a philanthropic endowment be hind the management of the iine.: The cost of his . tickets, for onej thing, had been far less than friends! returned from Scranton to Russia: byway of New York had led him toj expect to pay. l.ater on business picked up. The j stops were mar>v and the cities along the route were all alike as nearly as Michael could make out in the gloom ; through which his train ran as the' posies of garlic which Mamma Ras soulovich had used to crown thei litter of impedimenta at her feet, j At some of these stops many peo pje boarded the train, struggling for, the privilege of riding with the Ras soulovlches. At other stops many sot off. which was a great relief to I Michael, for at times he had counted as many as four strangers standing upon his Siberian boots. At other stops all would leave the train but] Michael manna and the little Ras-| souloviches. Suspects He's on a Shuttle Dimly Michael suspected that he was traveling over the same ground.

RAILROAD SHOPMEN HEAR MORE WAGE NEWS Rates to Be Made Public To morrow, Is Latest Report Wages for .railroad shopmen will be announced to-morrow. First pay ment of the new rates, will be made early in August. This announce ment was made in Harrisburg yes terday. At his office in Philadel phia, Charles H. Markham, regional director, made public the receipt of a statement by Direooi- General Mc- Adoo to the effect that adjustment of machinists' and shopmen's wages would be made to-morrow, following a report from the board on railway waives and working conditions. In liis statement the director gen eral urges every machinist and shop man to stick to his task, "back Uncle Sam io the limit" and do his part "to plant the Kaiser's face down. warJ. ' The case of the shopmen and ma chinists has caused more than usual concern since the wage commission handed down its decision regarding railroad wrfges. These two classes of tabor, it was found, benefited less than any other grade of workers. In many instances no increases were awarded. Immediately after the gen eral wage scale was announced last May, shopmen on the Southern Rail way went on strike and other roads suffered heavy losses from men go ing into more,lucrative positions. So far as the Pennsylvania Rail road ' compared, there has been a i turnover of nearly 100 per cent, in machinists and shopmen in the last two years. Tliere is no uniform scale demanded by those classes of labor, the matter being left to the director general for adjustment. Copies of Mr. MoAdoo's statment are to be distributed all over the Pennsylva nia system.

Fool's STRATEGY I IN WORLD WAR i < Press Openly Admits Allies t Have Wrested Initiative From Hindenberg i Washington, July 24.—Germany | lias not only been greatly depressed , ■by the failure of the Hindenburg . .strategy, involving the repulse of Ludendorff's offensive, but is dis turbed seriously 6ver the loss of j the initiative, fearing it may require i weeks to wrest it again from Gen- 1 1 rnl Foch. An official report from | Hasle says: "While confessing now that the i situation has chunged, the German ress is attempting to envelop this . confession in many kinds of expla j nations, employed with a view to : Making it more acceptable to the German public. The Berlin corre ' spondent of the Strassburger Post I writes: " 'The public had in general at tached too great hopes to the Ger | man offensive which was launched l on both sides of Rheims. As we can j see in reading the communications | ; cf the last few days, these hopes! j have not been realized. The enemy was informed of odr plans and we 3 were not able to surprise him. " "Now the French and the Amer icans have begun a counteroffenslve. - The situation is thus modified and the German headquarters staff will " have to make fresh plans. The n public will do well to practice pa ] tience with regard to future devel il of operations in the west.' n ' Fears Koch's Strategy 8 "The Frankfurter Zeitung writes | that the entire Hindenburg strategi . cal plan Is compromised. 'Some - thing new appears in the strategic y situation,' it declares. 'Gjeneral [} Foch has been able to form an im n portant army of reserves. He is trying now by a powerful counter offensive to wrest the initiative from Hindenburg. The German advance on both sides of Rheims has been - f-topped. Foch's attack does not merely aim at attracting the at tention of the German reserves and * keeping them employed; it aims at dealing a blow in the back of Boehm's army that is marching g eastward, and should it be success ful it might compel this army to re treat under most unfavorable con ■r ditlons. Foch's attack Is not only • r I n answer to the German attack on | both sides of Rheims, but it threat '"l ms the whole of Hindenburg's plans.' n I "The same paper, attempting to y i fxplain the failure of the German i- :>lans and recalling that the previ ■ ous German official communications ®: declared it could henceforth be con in |sidered that Foch's army of maneu ver was used up, asks where thes^ 3 troops came from, assuming that the American transports have really come more nuickly than they were expected. "The Muencher Neuste Nachtrlch ten says the German general head quarters staff has come In contact with special difficult tasks brought about by the indiscretions of sol diers and by soldiers on leave. It considers that France is still very strong and that America has mora than 500,000 soldiers in France, looses Faith In U-boats "The submarine warfare alone. It believes, cannot prevent the con tinual transport of troops and war material to the western front. The English army, it continues, has been reconstructed and put into a perfect state. The public, which Is aware of the enormous difficulties against which our headquarters staff has to fight, will not be astonished to see the latter proceeding with prudent tardiness. It will take weeks, per haps, to wrest the initiative from General Foch. Any nervousness would be at the present moment not only useless, but even harmful. The Koelnische Zeitung*s war correspondent says that never be fore have the variegated enemy na tionalists presented a more solid and compact front. "The present clash of hostile forces," he adds, "is the most gi gantic and terrible conflict of men tal and physical energy ever seen. There is no room for platitudes. Now begins the final phase of the | war." Graduates of First Aid - Class Get Certificates Members of Dr. W. A. class in First Aid received to-day their certificates of graduation in the , course.
