Ronalds, Civil War veteran, died on Monday from apo. plexy at his home, 1499 Pacific street. He was actively engaged in his business of undertaker until the last, although he was 84 years old. He took a lively interest in the present war, which reminded hi mof his youth, when he joined, at the age of 28, the Twenty-first New York Griswold Cavalry, which was made up of boys living in Troy, where he was born. He served throughout the Civil War and was with General Sheridan at the Battle of Piedmont.

At the close of the war he was first lieutenant and for gallantry and meritorious service he was brevetted major by Governor Reuben E. Fenton. In the early 70s Major Ronalds came to Brooklyn and engaged in railroading, being the superintendent of the old Nostrand avenue car line, and under his direction the barns were built on Nostrand avenue opposite the Penitentiary. Later he entered the undertaking business and became sexton of the Church of the Epiphany, now St. Matthew's Church, Tompkins avenue and McDonough street, of which he was a member.

Potatoes, which have been planted in increased quantities, are also good. Vines and olive trees are unaffected by any disease and barring injury from weather there should be an excellent vintage and an abundant crop of olives. Rice fields are also satisfactory. On the whole, the situation, notwithstanding exceptional conditions and incidents due to the war, is most encouraging.

Kerensky reached into a drawer of his desk for the evidence, and he smiled rather cynically, if he had better off." expected the question. a "Technically," he said, "we are much Mr.

Kerensky, it will be noticed, qualified his statement. "What does 'technically' mean?" I asked. 'Technically' means that we have 100 trains from our chief bases of supply toward the front, instead of said the Minister of War. "It means that our staffs have been reconstituted, and that the best trained brains are directed toward problems that require brains rather blue blood. It means that our munitions plants will soon working according to a deliberate system, that our peasants will give us their grain, that our people will offer their money.

And it means that the bread supply of Petrograd is increasing. "No greater weakness could have existed, or can exist, in Russia than the criminal neglect of the former Government. I have said that we are 'technically' much better off under the revolution. There are also such things as spirit, self-control, discipline and sacrifice, and these will be splendidly attained by the Russian population when the first flush of their new freedom' has subsided. I cannot repeat too emphatically that the Russian revolution will be a source of strength to the alliance, and never a weakness." Nevertheless, sizing up the Russian situation, as I have seen it in grad and the Russian Provinces during and after the revolution, and basing my judgment not only upon personal observation, but upon the testimony of foreign experts in railway and military matters, I believe that the new Galician offensive, and any Russian offensive attempted during 1917, will be sporadic and insignificant.

That is a serious statement, but there is ample confirmation. Each Russian His Own Czar. Sixteen weeks elapsed between the day that the Russian revolution startin March, and July 1, when Mr. Kerensky led the Russian offensive. So far as any peer effective reorganization of the two and a half years inefficiency of the old regime is concerned, the first six weeks of the revolution may be crossed off completely.

Every aspect of Russian life, whether civilian or military, was overturned and upset during those weeks, and the Provisional Government--not quite certain' whether it was a government or a Cabinet of dummy figures--undertook no serious executive measures toward an offensive. They were occupied with the task of maintaining themselves in power, in order to save Russia, and Russia, at that moment, WAS shouting for a general peace; while the "no annexations and no indemnities" campaign swept the entire country into undiscerning compliance. The Provisional Government emerged from one crisis after another, with the nervous dexterity of a monkey leaping through circus hoops. Kerensky had not yet been accepted as the big man of the revolution, and the Russian population, drunk with freedom, could be. saved from absurd excesses only by the application of a vigorous imaginative stimulant, such as a big man or a big event.

The Czar had been a bad Czar, but he a had been Czar, and now each Russian was his own Czar, and the stupendous knowledge dizzied him. The Baltic was fortunately 1cebound, and the German fleet was unable to attack the Russian naval forces which were absolutely demoralized and brutalized--to such an extent, in fact, that the commander of the British submarine fleet at Reval for telegraphed permission to to the blow British Admiralty eight British U-boats and to return a up home with the crews. Ominous rumors of a. German offensive at Riga reached Petrograd, and never had threatening news of an attack sounded so to the ears of a tottering war cabinet. German Offensive Yearned For.

German offensive will pull us together," one of the ministers said "The Germans may save us by attempting to destroy us." But Germany, either fearing to spoil the chances of a separate peace with Russia, or needing troops elsewhere, or hoping for Russia to disintegrate if left strictly alone, did not deliver the blow. Kerensky had no delusions with regard to the lack of discipline and enthusiasm at the front, or with regard to the folly of futile anarchistic debates in the rear. He found that governing 170,000,000 people by the delicate art of compromise was nerve-racking, especially when each citizen was expressing dogmatic opinions in a loud voice -and voting them. "Russia must deliver an offensive," he said to his colleagues. "The army will be consolidated; the people will be impressed into co-operation, and Britain and France will become convinced of our good faith once more." These were the motives for the Galician offensive.

The present mood of the Russian armies is so pre-eminently defensive that no one but Kerensky could have made an offensive go. The Russian masses are war and apathetic; they are exhausted by the excitement of the revolution, and are eager for a general peace (not a separate peace), as soon as possible. Added to the large number of German agents at large in Russia, the German Government has released, since the revolution, between 3.000 and 4.000 "Finns" from service in the German army. These so-called "Finns" returned to Finland and thence to Russia. Many of them are in Petrograd today, propagandizing pro-German arguments for peace.

The Leninites, from their looted ballet -dancer's palace, near the Neva, are promulgating pacifism, and the anarchists' organ, Pravda (Truth) has openly condemned the advance, WOMEN! MOTHERS!

The heart of the Russian people is sound, but the attacks made upon their enthusiasm are monstrous enough to undermine even stronger intelligences. Petrograd Short of Bread. Meanwhile, the trans-Siberian Railroad is miserably managed.

Supplies from Archangel, Romanoff and Kola are confined to the narrow limits set by the inadequate Russian railroad system, passenger traffic (including that for soldiers) is so restricted that I have seen hundreds of troops arriving at and leaving Petrograd crowded 011 the roofs of railway cars. crowded into the corridors and stuffed eight and ten in a single compartment designed for two persons. The bread supply of Petrograd--this is always an important factor, as it started the revolution--is insufficient, while country districts are oversupplied with white flour. The munitions factories are working according to various schedules, which include a proportion of -hour days and frequent holidays. The Russian soldier still lacks discipline, and many of them are still joy riding on railroads.

The reserve of big guns is strictly limited; the vast wastage and loss of important units of equipment that prevailed under the Czar requires more than ten weeks of Intermittent activity to be remedied. Kerensky has accomplished a feat in starting a drive into Galicia, but he knows perfectly well that the prime motive for a so-called offensive at this moment is a political motive. Russia is in no condition, in no state of mind, to support a continued offensive. Outlook is Promising. The outlook, however, is optimistic.

That people who for months suffered unmerited shortage of food, who had seen every civil liberty wrenched from their hands, and had been forced to surrender every minister who had their welfare at heart, should, when their hour of vengeance came, permit no violence or looting, and control in themselves every impulse toward greed and unlicensed possession, will always remain one of the great records of history. Kerensky has that background to build upon. His present offensive is not so much premature as temporary. Everything in Russia is temporary now. That is the bright aspect of the Russian situation--that nothing is permanent except the revolution.

The limited disorders and the unlimited disorganization that now prevail throughout one-sixth of the earth's surface will disappear, but not during 1917, and probably not during the war. For 1917 at least Russia may be considered out of the fight, except in strictly defensive operations. That is no reflection on Kerensky, on the Russian Army, on the Russian people. It is the price of freedom, and if it makes the American case more valid, it makes American co more intensive, American sacrifices more stupendous. There is a portrait of Peter the Great in the Petrograd Duma, and when the United States entered the war and the Duma was decorated in honor of the occasion, Ambassador Francis discovered that Peter's finger was pointed directly at the American flag.

William G. Willcox, president of the Board of Education has renewed his controversy with Dr. William H. Maxwell, City Superintendent, over the introduction of the duplicate plan, of which the president is a strong advocate and the superintendent a hostile critic. In his last communication to the City Superintendent Mr.

Willcox says in part: "The $6,400,000 to be expended for the improvement of existing schools will provide accommodations for about 58,000 additional pupils and will at the same time extend the new advantages thus provided to more than 200,000 pupils of these old buildings, who would not be reached at all if the entire $12,400,000 (appropriated during the last two years) were expended for new buildings. "You claim in general terms that in the expenditure of these funds the Board of Education is providing additional accommodations and advantages in sections where they are not imperatively needed, and neglecting the more urgent demands of other sections city, but you give no specific instances in support of this criticism. The Board of Education has endeavored to give fair and 1m- partial consideration to needs for further accommodation in order of urgency, based upon the number of pupils on part time and double session and the prospective growth. It is estimated that the expenditure of this $12,400,000 will provide accommodation for about 100,000 children heretofore on part time and double session, and also make provision for future growth to the extent of 35,000 more."
