LE LI cea pee MONDAY EVENING, AU AUGUST 24, 1914. o ~» Belgian Soldiers Taking Short Sleep at Liege Expert Explains Second Stage of Belgium Campaign By the gc nade ad | paeers of the New Evéning Sun. Published nhs oe Lotis Exclusively in the Louis Post-Dispaten hv Special Arrangement ith the Sun. O understand the next and sec- i ond phase of the German opera- tions in Belgium, there are cer: tain geographical and military cir- cumstances which must be remem- bered. When the German advance stepped over into Belgium Aug. 3, its obvious Namur, and open the road to France by the Meuse Valley. Had it suvceed- ed, the main German advance nee) not have gone to Brussels. The side trip to Brussels was imposed by two interdependent circumstances. The resistance of Liege gave France time to reinforce the Belgian garrison ut Namur and prevent any seizure of this fortress by a sudden attack. This closed the Valley of the Meuse and the Sambre above Namur, the direct line to Paris. The prolongation of the resist- ance at Liege enabled the field army of Belgium to come up on the right flanx of the Germans. Under these circumstances, the Ger- mans were compelled to go West, not South, to roll up the Belgian army and sweep it back into Antwerp, and to open a road to France west of the Meuse, since Namur was on a war footing. Danger From Allies. As the Belgian field army continued to put up a gallant and effective resistance and Liege delayed the mass of German infantry, there was a period when it seemed impossible that the French and British forces might arrive in time to confront the Germans on the famous Lines of the Dyle, east of Brussels, and compel it to open a way to France far ‘inside Belgian territory. But, fortunately for the Germans, at least as it now appears, the French and British failed to get up, apparently by a narrow margin, on time, for French troops in considerable force were just south of the Belgian line at Gembloux when the Germans, by a wide sweep to the north, broke in upon the Belgians at Louvain, threatened their line of re- treat from Antwerp, and thus compelled them to retire rapidly on that city. Thus, by last Thursday the Germans had accomplished the task which con- stituted the first phase of their opera- tions to get at France, and stood in force at Brussels, while their cavalry was sweeping west and north toward Ostend and Ghent. From Brussels to France three im- portant lines of rail and roadway lead south to the French border, some 50, miles away. That to the west enters France at Lille, where it joins the Ghent-Antwerp-Paris line. The middle line cfosses the French boundary north of Valenciennes. The eastern line joins the. Liege-Paris railroad at Charleroi, and enters France at Maubeuge. Mau- beuge and Lille are perhaps 50 miles apart, and Valenciennes is almost equi- distant from both. Maubeuge and Lille are fortified towns, each surrounded by a circle of detached forts. With Valenciennes, Conde, Le Quosney and Mons, the last named now in Bel- gium, they constitute the famous “Bel- gian Beit,” constructed Vauban and fa- miliar to all students of French and En- But only Maubeuge and Lille are now fortified. There are, how- éver, in addition, several detached forte between the two cities occupying van-/ tage points, and to be reckoned with still. Finally, across two-thirds of the gap between Lille and Maubeuge runs the Scheldt River, a sert of ‘moat in front of the Maubeuge-Liile line. purpose was to seize Liege and then | For an army at Brussels and intending to invade France, the gap between Mavu- beuge and Lille is practically the onlv possible road. To go to the west be- yond Lille would mean to extend an open flank to the Anglo-French forces from Namur to Lille, while the narrow stretch of land between Lille and the sea is flanked again by the first-class fortress of Dunkirk. Such a detour 's also far off the main railway lines. Namer in the Way. | To go east of Maubeuge by the Meuse is equally difficult and unattractive io any army whose time iis limited, be- cause the Meuse route is closed by the fortress of Namur and by French forces at Dinant and Ffench forts at Givet, Hiron and Mezieres. It is fair to assume, then, that the German plan of campaign after the fall of Brussels included an advance upon the Maubeuge-Lille barrier. While both Places rank as first-class fortresses neither is comparable with Antwerp, Strassburg or Belfort. To foree either er both would be a considerable, but by nec means a hopeless, undertaking. As for the forts between, they would be of immense help to a field army de: fending the gap between the two cities, hut not to be compared with the forts of Tdege. The fact that the delay tinci- dent to Belgian resistance had permitted tre British to come up and the French to complete their concentration, would increuse the difficulty of the task, but stort of abandoning the whole offensiva through Belgium, en unthinkable thing, there could be no choice for the Ger- mans. On Germans’ Flank. One more detail: Mauberge is on the Sambre, some ® miles above Namur. The river here runs from southwest to north- east. and an Anglo-French force lying behind the Sambre, its flanks protected by Namur and Maubeube, would be squarely on the flank of the German ad- vance. Its center would be at Charilerol. As a preliminary to advancing against the Lille-Maubeuge barrier, the Germans migbt well undertake to crush the force between Namur and Maubeuge, thus iso- lating Namur and protecting their own flank. Such an operation could easily take place along the Charileroi-Tamines front, which has been mentioned as the field of the great battie already in prog- ress. ; Tamines is perhaps half way be- tween Charleroi and Namur. What is essential to remember, though, is the simple fact that # miles south of Brussels is the first line of French defences; that French resist- ance must begin either exactly at this point: or on a field in advance of ‘it, selected by the general staff, that there the Germans must expect to en- counter French and British troops fully concentrated, with the advantage of having selected the field and of having behind and slong their line permanent forts, ‘fully equipped and ready for attack. On this front are the cities of Mons. Tournai, Conde, Valenciennes and a score more, familiar in history. The battles of Jemappes, Wattingnies and Fleurus were fought along this bar- rier, and the task for the Germans is that undertaken by the old-time ~Ilies who sought to get to Paris by this route in the first war of the French Revolution in 1782-8 and failed by a narrow margin, the relief of Maubeuge by the French deciding the campeign. French Choose Field. It Hes with the Germans to fix the time of the battle, but the French have had the opportunity. to choose ine fleid, and the route that the WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. APAN'S declaration of war upon J Germany, made public at the Japanese Embassy in Washing- ton, follows: "The imperial rescript. ‘Issued at Tokio, Aug. 23, 6 p. m. “We, by the grace of heaven, Em- peror of Japan, seated on the throne oceupied by the same dynasty from time immemortal, do hereby make the following proclamation to all our loyal and brave subjects: VAS" hereby declare war against Germany, and we command our army and - navy to carry on hostilities against that empire with all their strength, and we also command all our com- petent authorities to make every ef- fort, in pursuance of their respective duties, to attain the national aim by all means within the limits of the law of nations. “Since the outbreak of the pres- ent war in Europe, jhe calamitous effect of which we view with grave concern, we on our part have en- tertained hopes of preserving peace of the far East by the maintenance of strict neutrality, but the action of Germany has at length compelled Great Britain, our ally, to open hos- tilities against that country, and Proclamation by Mikado, Declaring War in Germany Germany is at Kiauchau, its leased territory in China, busy with warlike preparations while its armed vessels cruising seas of Eastern Asia are threatening our commerce and that of our ally. ‘Peace in the far East is thus in jeopardy.

By the last day appointed for the purpose, however, our Government failed to receive an answer accepting their advice. It is with profound regret that we, in spite of our ardent devotion to the cause of peace, are thus compelled to declare war, especially at this early period of our reign and while we are still in mourning for our lamented mother. “It is our earnest wish that by the loyalty and valor of our faithful sub- jects peace may soon be restored and the glory of the empire be enhanced.”’ Richard Harding Davis Tells of German Army in Brussels (Continued From Page 1.) gray and ghostlike. sparks from the stones, but the horses Were invisible.

The young messenger from the front is an Englishman, E. A. Dalton by name. His adventures along the road to Os- tend, where he got @ refugee steamer for Folkestone, were thrilling in the ex- treme. Dressed in riding breeches, put- tees and a dark coat, he left Brussels at dark. Only by using him was Davis able to get his Message to the outer world. Germans were marching through the| take is one which the French general staff has had years to study and pre- pare to defend. As the Germans were in Brussels last Thursday, and the for- tified line is leas than four days’ march to the south, it is reasonable to suppose that the first great conflict is now in \progress on the line indicated. It is well, also, to remember that this is only the first of the French barriers on the | road to Paris which the Germans have now chosen. If the Germans win here, they have still the Rheims-Laon-La Fere barrier between them and Paris: if they are checked, the whole sigantic offensive ogeapte 0 eiandeu city as the war corréspondent wrote. The wires were down to Antwerp and Ostend, and Davis was unable to leave Brussels. He had obtained papers from the Belgians permitting him to depart, but the Germans, while giving the same privilege, stipulated that he should re- main in the city until their turning movement was completed. As Dalton marched ou. of the captured capital at nightfall on his * ay to Ghent, he had for companions long lines of German infantry. The young English- man kept In the main road and for some of the way was able to get short lifts from wagons or automobiles. German cavairy had been in Ghent, he said, and some had been seen at Bruges and the outskirts, but the main body of Germans ha.t completely turned to the left. The larger part of the Bel- gian defenders retired on Antwerp. Scattered smaller bodies retreated through Flanders, to the northwest of Brussels. Dalton, as he came to tne point where the main body of Germans turneé off the road to Ghent, hid in the under- growths beside the road and crept along on his hands and knees for a mile be- fore daring to emerge into the highway again. Finally, after much effort and some wide detours to avoid tréuble and protect the news that had been intrusted to him, Dalton reached Ostend.

Japan's entrance upon the fulfillment of her obli- gations to her ally, Great Britain, re- sponds to the popular will from one end of the land to the other. Cheering crowds assembled before the buildings occupied by the Department of Foreign Affairs and the administration of the navy. There were lantern processions through the streets. The popular mani- festations, however, do not approach the enthusiasm which preceded the war with Russia. The German Ambassador probably wiii leave Tokio for America either on the Minnesota, sailing Aug. 27, or the Man- churia, on the twenty-ninth. George W. Guthrie, the American Ambassador, will represent Germany. The Diet has been convoked in special session for Sept. 3. The Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Eliza- beth, which was at Tsingtau, the seaport of Kiauchau, is reported to have sailed. She perhaps will go to a neutral port} and disarm. It is believed this action will keep Austria cut of the war in the Orient, although unforeseen circum- stances may force Japan to change her policy in this regard. No action has yet been taken relative to Austria, and the Foreign Office tas explained that Japan will remain friendly to Austria, unlegs Austria adopts an attitude which it re- gards as offensive. Effert to Transfer Read. It is reported here that Germany has been trying to transfer the German railroad in Shantong, China, to Amer- ica. Tokio believes, however, that the United States, pursuing the policy of neutrality outlined by President Wilaon, will not accept the offer. President Wilson’s announcement of American neutrality has greatly pleased the Jap- anese. The newspapers express surprise at the extent of American suspicions re- garding Japan's motives in issuing the ultimatum, but leading writers expreas a firm confidence that a better under- standing will be had with the people of America. evidence will show that England not only requested Japan's assistance, but approved her entire program. A Reuter dispatch from Pekin says the German Minister and Chinese For- eign Office were just about to sign an agreement regarding Tsingtau, the seat of the Governor of Kiauchau, when Japan’s decision was announced, where- upon the Chinese Foreign Office decided not to proceed. Other dispatches state that President Yuan Shai Kai is satis- fied with Japan's attitude and pledges. Ne Communication With China. Communication between Japan and China has been severed for “4 hours Except for the very meager news that has reached here from New York, the country is kept in the dark regarding the progress of the war in Europe, It is believed the cable between Shanghai and Nagasaki has been cut, The officers of the army and navy are sphinx-like regarding events in the urge the public te refraid from exhib- iting resentment toward the Germans ,in Japan.

LONDON, Aug. 274—A correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, telegraphing from Antwerp today, viells the story of the exploits of Lieut. Henkart of the Bel- gian army, who apparently has devel- oped to a fine point the art of hunting for Uhlans with an armor plated motor car, carrying a mitrailleuse, or machine gun. Lieut. Henkart is now at Antwerp with the body of the Belgian army, but every day he goes out with his car an! he has brought down scores of Uhlans and other German soldiers who have crossed his path. His principal work, howeveiygds recon- noitering the enemy's position, and the killing of Uhlans is merely a diversion for the Lieutenant in the course of this highly important work. He has had sev- eral ‘narrow escapes from capture and the body of his car shows many bullet marks which the armor plating has stopped. ! Had Retired From Army. Lieut) Henkart formerly was an of- ficer in the Belgian Grenadiers, but had retired and was living the quiet existence of a country gentlcman when the wuar began.’ He at once volunteered and was detailed to the general staff.

He visited, on Aug. 16, the battlefield of Haelen, the scene of the (ton hot and severe fight of the cam- paign till then, and found defensive po- sitions at Curange-Kempt and Herck-la- Ville. Henkart Caught in Trap. That day there ware no engagements, but Aug. 17 Henkart went to Jauche, rear Jodoigne; where he heard of the presence of 12 German cavalrymen. When following the scent he was caught in a trap and had considerable difficul- ty extricating himself. Eventually he killed seven Uhlans and reconnoitered the German entrench- ments. The next day he reconnoitered the German position at Perwez in Bra- bant. He met a party of German mili- tary cyclists and cavalrymen and killed 12 of them. The following Way he Jodoigne, where the preserice of two German officers was signaled. The Lieutenant went in search of them, but again was caught in a trap and,had to run the gauntlet of a shower of bul- lets fired from huuses at Jodoigne. His motor car was scarred with bullets. The next day, according to Waterleo, he went to Westerloo. This was the red- letter day of his expedition. It almost ended in a fatality for him, for the rec- onnoitering party found itself confront- ed suddenly by two companies of cy- clists and a squadron of cavalry. Fights 450 Germans.

Copyright, 1914, by‘ Press Pub. Ge. {New York World.) LONDON, Aug. %—A correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, telegraphing from Dunkirk Friday night, gives a graphic description of the scenes in and around Ghent when it was known that the Germans were approaching the city. He says: “The appearance of the Uhlans, prac¢ tically at the gates of Ghent, created & panic among those , inside the city. The citizens of Ghent and those who had no pressing business in the city com- mandeered every kind of vehicle from automobiles to carts drawn by dogs. Here I saw military officers in automo- biles, citizens, rich and poor, influential and humble, town councillors; in fact, everybody, bent on making their escape as fast as possible toward Bruges. “The. occupation of the city by Ger- mans was considered only a question of’ a few hours. Among the tide of fugi- tives flowing over the canal bridges’ were many civil guards on bicycles. These men had refused to give up their arms. They felt bitter about an order for ‘their disarmament, and said that, notwithstanding the command of the civil authorities, they were determined, as patriotic Beigians, to put up a fight against the invader. | Civil Guard Protests. “One of them, his voice choked by tears and rage, protested fiercely against the position in which he and his fe)- lows who desired to defend their coun- try were placed. ‘Here,’ he said, ‘we wear a distinguishing uniform, as re- quired by international law: we wear distinguishing badges, we carry arms, and yet the gentle Prussians refuse <o recognize us as a regularly constituted military body. They say we are sim- ply franc tiereurs and they have vowed they will shoot every one of us whon | they catch. This is a nice position ro ' be placed in. If we make a fight and are caught we are to be shot, accordinz to the Prussian decision. If we don’t make a fight and are catght, even with- out arms, but in uniform, we are also to be shot.’ “The railway station and streets were deserted and the shops and offices were closed. Around the railway station men, women and children were run-' ning distractedly hither and yon. The | fear @w the German invader was visible or their face. They were all ‘ryiny to find some kind of a conveyance to take them far from Ghent. A crowd of weeping women besieged the closed doors of the railway station, and anv railway official who by accident hap- pened to appear was immediately sur- reunded by numerous inquirers, and asked about the departure of trains for Bruges. They all receifed the same reply, that there were no trains:. that the station was closed, and all the rol!- ing stock had been removed to a piace of safety. i Families tv Deapnir. “Tt was pitiful to see the despair of women. Many of them were accompa- nied by trembling children and all were weeping. Some of them had only two days previously been driyen from their homes in the vicinity of Louvain by the same Uhlans.

Getman experts are dent that the frontier forts, like those at Liege, will succum epeedily to the heavy artillery.’’ This dispatch, while unsigned, is be- lieved to be authentic, ag it is borne out in large part by the admissions of the French official bureau. That bureau has announced that Luneville, 0 miles wita- in the F¥fench frontier, is occupied by the Germans, It has also announced that French troops have been withdraw from Donon and the Saales Pass, in the Alsatian Vosges. The importance of the French repulse in Lorraine, and of the German advance into France at TLuneville, is shown bv the prominence which the French of- ficial bureau gave, a few days ago, the earlier successes of the French troops in the same region. Last Tuesday the Paris bureau an- nounced that the French troops had penetrated 30 miles into’ Lorraine, an:l had taken a strongly fortified position south of Saarburg, held by heavy artil- lery.

The total internal revenue amounted to $380,008,894 to June 30, 1914, or about $35,500,000 more than the previous fiscal year.

It was known at the close of the period for which income tax returns were made, that Campbell's return would yield a tax of between $200 and $300. This would be a tax on an income of a little in ex- cess of $20,000. It had been expected at the Federal Building that the Campbell return would be the largest in St. Louis, as it had been believed he was. the wealthiest resident of the city. The returns, how- ever, showed that tne income of the late Adolphus Busch was in excess of $86, 000. Following this showing, an investiga- tion of the Campbell return was or- dered. It is reported that the officials mak- ing the investigation have forwarded to Washington a report advising that the return for the Campbell estate should be more than $400,000, which would yield a tax in excess of $18,000.

Campbell is said to have sold in 1918 a large volume of stocks which he had held jfr several years. ton. These stocks, it is said, were sold at a price greatly below that paid for them. Campbell, in’ making his return. it is sai@ figured the loss on these stocks as having occurred in 1913.

SALINAS, Cal., Aug. 24—George Ko- dani, a Japanese photographer under | arrest here, confessed to Sheriff Nes- | bit today that he had murdered Helena Wood Smith, a New York artist, who had been living in the colony of writ- ers and painters at Carmel-by-the-Sea. He told conflicting stories of the mur- der, one version béing that he killed Miss Smith in¢self-defense. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. %4.—Buried in the sand a mile from her former home at Carmel-by-the-Sea, the body of Helen Wood Smith, a young artist who disappeared two weeks ago, was found yesterday by a searching party. Death had been caused by strangulation. / George Kodani, a Japanese artist- at Salinas, told Sheriff Nesbit many different stories at first. One was to the effect that Miss Smith fell over a cliff. bordering Carmel Deach after they quarreled. When he saw the body crash onto the rocks and then into the sea, Kodahi said he became alarmed at the possible consequences and fled, remaining in hiding until ar- rested. Before these admissions, however, the Japanese maintained that he had not seen. nor heard of the girl since he left her at her bunsalow, Aug. 12. According to his inquisitors, “Kodani said he had taken a moonlight walk on the beach with the young woman and that she cried, before their quarrel, be- cause the laws of California stood in the way of their marriage. “When we quarreled,” he jis said to have asserted. “‘Sne attacked me with a knife. She was crazy and was crazy, too.”’ Kodani’s statement is bitterly resented by friends of Miss Smith, wno deny that she entertained any affection for the Japanese. According to Sheriff Nesbitt, the motive for the killing of Miss Smith was a check for $252 which she had in her purse.

TWO FARMERS BURNED TO DEATH IN SILO FIRE Before Fellow Workers Know of Blaze Caused by Spark. TRENTON, Mo., Aug. 24.—Roy Malo- iney, 20, and Dal Meage, 24, were burned to death in silo fire, near Galt, Mo., late Saturday. A spark from the stearn engine, which was running the ensilage cutter, dropped into the blower and was carried into the silo. The fire burned all the oxygen from the air inside and the men were suffo- cated before the other workmen realized the fire had started. The bodies were burned beyond recognition. Both were unmarried young farmers. Their funerals were held in Galt, Sun- day. The fire occurred on the farm of Victor Russell.

HIS ITCHING ECZEMA GONE RESINOL DIO IT ‘*T had a severe, torturing case of eczema on my feet, hands, arms and body for about four months, and I suf- fered untold misery. The itching was something awful. In a couple of days it spread all over me with small blis- ters and then formed a raw mass of sores, I tried ‘ and many other remedies and prescriptions, but I only grew worse. Finally I read of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap and commedced using it. I got relief from the first treatment—Resinol STOPPED THE ITCHING INSTANT- LY, and I could sleep the first night. I used four or five jars of Resinol Ointment and Soap also, and I am en- tirely cured of that disease—eczema, and I can cheerfully boost Resinol.’’ —(Signed) G. W. Fuller, 713 E. 10th st., Davenport, Iowa, May 2, 1914. Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap also form a most valuable household treatment for pimples, sunburn, heat rash, insect bites, etc. For trial, free, write to Resinol, Dept. 32-R, Balti- moreMd., Sold by all druggists.

At length he sits at the head of the Government in the City of Mexico. The first part of the pro- gram of revolution is done. Maytorena in Sonora, leading a tiny insurrection, is disowned by Villa, ce | Who alone might have made that insurrection more than a momentary menace to the new order. It bids fair quickly to be quenched. Now for the second part—the restoration of order under military rule out of the chaos left by Huerta. Then the third part—the calling of national elections to choose a President, a Vice- President and a Congress, to govern under Con- stitutional limitatiois, by popular mandate. This third part accomplished, recognition by the United States, and by the other Powers, will follow soon, and the Mexican people will be fairly launched upon their first hopeful experiment in self-government. It will be the more hopeful if Vehustiano Car- ranza shall be chosen to the presidency. Villa, idol of the Northern army, hero'of the first de- cisive victories of Constitutionalist arms; prefers another than Carranza. But Villa has lately been made to know he cannot substitute his will, how- ever passionately patriotic, for that which the people of Mexico may declare to be their will. Col. Carranza has made good, thus far; has exceeded the fears of his enemies, the hopes of his friends. He has arrived in supreme if tem- porary authority, we are assured, unbound by any pledges or concessions, his own or Villa’s, to en- rich foreign exploiters by robbing his country- men. He has given absolute protection to life und pfoperty during the transfer of the Capital. Equally with the late Francisco Madero devoted to the central purpose of the revolution—the restoration of the land to the people—Carranza far more than Madero possesses practical fore- sight, rigid resolution, organizing ability, exact knowledge of his people, judgment of — men. He is a citizeh-soldier—not a siutubetiinal tits the habits of mind of the prosperous civilian; master of the law/s fundaments yet not enmeshed in its details nor blinded by its precedents. He is a maker of precedents and a tactful, executive fnterpreter of laws. . His years have brought him wisdom that excels mere learning, yet he is a lettered man, a provincial with much knowledge of the outer world; a democrat, in easy touch with the humblest of his adherents. The common people rarely err in their judg- ment of the men upon whom they instinctively confer in largest measure their love and trust; and it is significant that they have already placed Carranza upon a plane with Hidalgo and Juarez, their historic liberators. Too far advanced in years to be pricked by vast arbitrary ambition, and much too well in- formed to suppose it possible now to repeat the personal exploits of Diaz and Huerta, Col. Car- ranza is still, in the middle sixties, vigorous in mind and body; his great figure erect, full- fieshed, clear-skinned, with large, mild, yet keen eyes—a man who would loom big in any company. He ig one of the most notable figures upon the world’s stage, even in this most dramatic period—this huge, blond, bearded leader of a .dozen ‘million small, bronzed peons who «stand, | as they believe, at the entrance of their long- sought promised land, wherein they shall find for the first time full recognition as responsible citizens of a real republic, proprietors of little farms from which no despot can evict them. A NEPOTISM PLANE. The Democratic State convention tomorrow should by all means adopt a ringing plank con- demning nepotism. Such a plank, if made strong enough, would represent the judgment of about 99 per cent of the people. In the Democracy alone it would command the approval of prac- tically everybody except the beneficiaries of pres- ent deplorable practices at Jeffersdn City. Why should a sentiment so generally entertained not find expression in the platform? = = * A TRIUMPH IN MUNICIPAL FINANCE. The American City, a magazine devoted as it says to “civic betterment,” prints an article on a triumph in municipal finance at East St. Louis. “The city has been badly swamped with debts,” it says, “and the Mayor and his Council of busi- ness men decided to clean up the old bills by the application of business methods.” Accordingly they passed a franchise which the private water company could “take or leave.” The company “took” it—naturally—paid the $75,000 specified and the claims against the city were adjusted. The scandalous 30-minute ses- sion in which the franchise-grabbing plot was jammed through in defiance of sentiment is de- scribed as a “business-like. discussion.” A pic- ture is printed of the $75,000 check from the company. To describe as “an application of business methods” the unholy deal by which the franchise at exorbitant rates that will cost water con- sumer hundreds of thousands of dollars in the next 30 years was disposed of for a beggarly $76,000 is indeed a euphemism. “This is no doubt the first time in the history of the country that a public utility has been compelled to pay ‘cash in advance’ in this manner for its priv- ileges” says the magazine. Unfortunately instances in which cities have sold birthrights for messes of pottage are not so rare. But even if it was the first time, it is alive Fae te that it is the last. = = = a.

To do that equitably'and satisfac- terily greater familiarity with physical features and local problems-is needed than the board can acquire at Washington. Seven men compose this national railroad board. Certainly one man sitting in one of seven grand divisions of the country and meeting with his col- leagues only occasionally at Washington for the validating of individual judgments can form just- er, more intimate and more accurate views as to the needs of his grand division than seven men secluded at Washington can form of the needs of the entire vast country. Not only greater ease but greater efficiency and expedition would be pro- moted by the change. = = i i CANADA’S PART IN THE WAE. We have had a very keen sense for three years that we were adjoined on our southern border by a country in which a state of war existed. If, however, we in the interior have hardly begun yet to realize the belligerant status of the coun- try that adjoins us for several thousand miles to the north, those living along that border are not permitted to entertain any doubts as to the ex- tent to which Canada as a part of the British Esnpire is involved in the cause of the allies. Enlisted militia of Quebec, Montreal and To-. ronto are as excited as the regular garrisons of ‘English towns. Windsor and the Niagara fron- tie: are preparing to send a strong force of their trained citizen soldiery to the front. Winnipeg's’ fret quota will be a regiment of nearly 1100 men. Canadian towns on the Pacific Coast ex- pect to be herried by German ‘warships, may al- ready have been harried. Funny Canadian officials are nervously putting in effect drastic regulations ir imitation of those in the British Isles, only a few miles from the fighting zone, and threatening a censorship against their own and American newspapers. Troops drilling, or marching to farewell church services, or preparing to entrain, fill the streets of towns and make the far-off seat of war seem very near. What is German commercigl growth to Canada? The Germans are good customers of the Domin- fucers. Canada even refused to give England as- which New Zealand and Australia took a hand. What concern has Canada got in Belgian- neu- trality beyond the concern which disinterested mer everywhere must have in treaty observance and international good faith? What national in- terest or aspiration has Canada of any sort which, if she refrained from fighting, would be promoted by the allies’ success or jeopardized by the allies’ defeat? Canada has as mu@h reason to maintain strict neutrality in this war as the United States. She is dragged into it only because of a slender of- | ficial tie with a European power and a senti- mental tie that has been rapidly growing weak- er. The troops she sends 3000 miles from home to fight have so little of personal concern in the issues to be decided that they must almost ap- pear as mercenaries. She must incur those handi- caps as a producing country which we incur as @ result of the war and the handicaps of a bellig- erant beside. The wisdom of the advice to us to avoid foreign entanglements was never better illustrated. Can- ada will fulfill scrupulously her present obliga- tions, but we may conjecture that her archaic foreign entanglement will be more unpopular when this war is over. = = * me ‘THE WAR AND THE SINGLE TAX. Kiauchau, Germany’s Chinese stronghold, with its 200 square miles of attached hinterland, is the largest thorough-going single tax community. The colony didn’t adopt the single land tax as the basis of its fiscal system by popular vote; the German imperial Government ordered it. German imperial, state and municipal govern- ments in 1912 collected $9,000,000 of taxes On in- creased land values within the empire. The total of such increases, officially reported, on which the $9,000,000 tax was taken, was $60,000,000. This $60,000,000, of course, doesn’t represent the whole increment of German lands for 1912, only the total of land. sales which showed an unearned increment since the last previous transfer. The increment tax is taken, in Germany, only when the land privately owned changes hands. No tax is laid on increased values created by the land owner, by building or other improvement. The tax is laid only on that portion of the in- crease due to social growth and betterment. The sum of the several rates, averaged, is shown by the 1912 totals to be 15 per cent. Germany has gone further toward practical utilization of the Henry George idea than any other country. The adoption of the single land tax as the sole source of local revenue in the Kiauchau colony exhibited the German imperial Government's con- viction, based on the home,trial of the land in- crement tax, that the single land tax, where it can be applied, is the most easily borne and fair- est form of taxation, and the surest revenue pro- ducer. If Japan’s sea and land forces oust the Ger- mans from the Kiachau fortress, this expert- ment with the single land tax theory ‘will come abruptly to an end. Japan’s hunger for public revenue, to support great schemes. of internal improvements and the gigantic army and navy of the island empire, is so keen that the Japanese are today the most heavily taxed people, with respect to their incomes, in the, whole world. Indeed, the taxes on land and labor are heavy in Japan that scores of thousands of small farm proprietors, unable to meet the charge, are being forced to sell and join the ranks of the wage seekers in the terribly over- crowded. cities of that country. This is in vivid contrast with the situation in Germany, where for 40 years past, under the beneficent operation of the co-operative land banks established and supervised by the imperial Government, the peasant laborers have acquired ownership of 87 per cent of the land in cultiva- tion. — =— = | eo a a War and rumors of war should not be per- mitted to obscure the good news that J.

At dawn the fighting began. ing it raged, and most of the after- noon. But, little by little, the French were hammered back; until by 4 p. m. they were in full flight. The Germans numbered 77,500; the French, 37,000. The French losses wefe more than 2,000 and some regiments fought gamely on after 90 per cent of their men were killed, Every resistance was thus swept away, for the time, from the path of the ‘‘Third Army,’’ and it marched un- checked to Moselle, whither Moltke had ordered it to go, and where the two other German armies were centering. Beaten and outhumbered at every point, the French fell back, in two armies; oné led by Gen. MacMahon and one by Gen. Bazaine. All hope of in- vading Germany was now gone. It be- came for France merely a ‘desperate oa All morn-, French withdrew toward the Moselle, ahead of their foes, there, if possible, to combine for one fierce stand. This was e told hi the French would do. His plans were working out: with scarcely a flaw. Moltke had studied and ar- ranged the whole war like a gigantic problem in chess. The Germans hotly followed the two retreating French armies. It was no part of Moltke’s* plan that these two flying bodies of men should meet and combine. Therefore, he kept them mov- ing, driving them so hard that neither could turn aside to get in touch with the other. The “First. Army’: and the. “Second Army,” respectively led by Stelnmetz and Prince Frederick Charles (the Red Prince), pursued Bazaine; the ‘Third Army” followed MacMahon. Near Metz, Bazaine halted and faced the oncoming Germans.

By W. J. LIGHTING against the traditional F pathetically humble. with the Cardinals, who are one game affairs in the New York camp it can be seen that Little Napoleon has re- signed himself to his fate. He is lead- ing on to Waterloo. A weakened pitching staff, because eof Demaree’s complete collapse and Marquard’s recent ietup, a ting team and an insecure dete third base, are some of the t worrying McGraw. Recently in a des- perate attempt to check e slide of his champions, he benched Milton Stock and replaced him with Eddie Grant, a Cincinnati cast-off, and sup- planted Merkle at first with Fred Snod- rass, who plays his best in the out- eld. ite these changes the Giants continue lose merrily, having just dropped three in a row to the Reds. This made ,a total ef seven defeats in eight games with Cincinnati in the past two series. Giants Lost Big Lead. Two weeks ago the Giants had a lead ci five games. Had McGraw’s men managed to break even since that day they still would be leading the league by a comparatively safe margin. But the champions have cracked and to- day they are tied with Boston while the Cardinals are only One full game behind. Before returning home, the Giants must play three games here and hicago, admittedly a hard Those who have been intimately in touch with McGraw for several sea- sons, believe that Little Napoleofi this season has been seriously hampered in his managerial work by the menac- ing attitude of the Federal League. All of McGraw’s so-called regulars are signed for three years to fat contracts, sans the 10-day clause. While this 8- looked like good business policy at the start of the season, the wisdom of it all is questioned at this date, because McGraw now is unable to get rid of any of these players, eith- er by trade or sale. Their contracts are too big for oth- er clubs, not making big money—and none of them are—to handle. Just for that reason McGraw has been de- nied the opportunity of making an im- portant deal, late fin tle season, such as he turned in 1911, when he ac- quired Herzog from Boston, and in 1913, when he snared MoLean fro St. uls. McGraw has been forced | \Cards’ Record Against Superbas Now 16 Out of 19; Perritt Wins Pulled Up N 19 starts against the conquest- | seeking Cardinals, the Superbas have been able to win all of three games.

Stallings has, from time to time, made deals that strengthened his club, because he had low-priced workmen, and could talk business to other clubs not mak- ing big money at the gate. But Stall- ings’ most important deal of the sea- son was the purchase, outright, of Augie Moran from: Cincinnati. Moran is by all odds the best out- fielder now in the Braves’ ranks, and his addition to the team is bound to strengthen the weakest point—base- running. Moran is a speed demon on the bases, a good hitter and a fast fielder. — Why he was permitted to go to Bos- ton at this stirring stage of the race ie more than anyorme can figure out. But he has been sold, and he will do Boston a lot of zood. To get back to the Giants. McGraw’s pitching staff is somewhat crippled,. but rain Monday threatened to give the en- emy a chance to recuperate before the battling on the Britton pasture began. Marquard was knocked out Saturday in Cincinnati while LN 2 couldn’t last Sunday. That fortes McGraw to open here Monday with Mathewson, who rest- ed only since Friday. However, if rain stops Monday’s game, Matty will prob- ably be fit for a hard test Tuesday.

To be exact, he has more pitching material than any manager in the National League. He has both his star catchers in top form while Miller, Magee, Wilson and Dolan are grinding out base hits in copious sup- plies daily. The Cards suffered their worst slump on the Eastern trip. They were due for a return to form in this stand at home and they are coming through nobly. Only a continuation of their present brand of baseball is needed to land them on top.

Dolan’s run-in with Pitcher Schmutz ave everybody an idea of just how Old Coxe stands with the fans. Without considering the fact in the case, the rooters began to hiss Messrs. Schmutz a McCarthy, and, to use a baseball sion, “rode them off the field’”’ in the sixth inning. The facts were that Dolan lost his grip on the bat and let it fly at Schmutz, who felt that Cozy was trying to maim him. McCarthy took up Schmutz’s end of the argument and for a while a fist-fight threatened. However, the umpires maintained order. In the next inning. both Schmutz and McCarthy were withdrawn.

One of the reasons the Cardinals are making a mad dash for the penant is that Miller Huggins is prying so many | free tickets to first base from the op- posing huriers. In this respect the Cards’ mavager is leading the League, having coaxed 72 gifts from the, opposi- tion. Jiug is back in the form which made ‘leader in this department Of the game in 1910, when he strolled to first base 116 times. While Hug ranks as the King of the Gift Brigade, his team is not doing so well in this end of the game. The Cards rank only fourth in promenading. Hug’s closest rival is Vic Saier of the Cubs, wh» owns 68 walks. The Cub has al- rea‘iy extracted six more passes this season that he did last year, and he has pluyed tn 47 fewer games. Besides Huggins and Sailer, 12 more Tenerites have obtained free transpor- tation from the pitcherg on 4 or more occasions this season. eorge Burns of the Giants has drawn 58 passes; Johnny Evers of the Braves, 56; Tommy Leach cf the Cubs, 538: Gavvy Cravath of the Phillies. 52: Bill Sweeney of the Cubs, 49; Heinie Groh of the Reds, 48; Jimmy Viox of the Pirates, 47: Dode Paskert of the Phillies, 44; Wilbur Good of the Cubs, 44: Max Carey of the Pirates, 42: Casey Stengel of the,Superbas, 41, and Larry Doyie of the Giants, 40.

There is slight danger of Huggins. Saier, Hurns or any of the other good waiters smashing the National League record for walks. Secretary John Hevd- ler has been furnishing the informaticn on the rumber of passes each player receives now since 1910, the leaders ‘n Huggins of St. Louis, with 116, in 1910: Sheckard of Chicago, with 147, in 1911: Sheckard of Chicago, with 122, in 1912, oe Bescher of Cincinnati, with 94, in 719. . John McGraw is generally credited with having made the best record for watchful waiting of any National League player. When the Little Na- poleon was leading the Baltimore dis- cards of 1899, he walked to first over the four-ball route 108 times in 95 games, getting his base in this manner at least once in the first 64 contests. No other ‘National Leaguer, so far as known, ever succeeded in getting as high an average of promenades. McGraw was a great waiter in the days when he played under Ned Hanlon, but his team of Giants do not seem to care particularly about working the pitchers for transportation. Last year the Gothamites did not draw as many bases on balls as the Cubs, Braves, Car- dinals or Reds, and this year they rank next to last among the pitcher workers. The champions have secured 279 gifts, the Superbas one less. The Cubs have received 374 free trips to first from the pitchers, the Cardinals 320, the Phillies 315, the Reds 307, the Braves 295, and the Pirates 286. A Team of Waiters. The National League’s best watchful waiting team would at the present time consist of four Cubs, one Giant, one Superba, one Phillie, one Brave and one Cardinal and would be made up as fol- lows: Catcher—Bresrahan of Chicago, 36 passes. Pitcher—Reul!bach passes. First baseman—Saier of Chicago, of e 68 passes. Second baseman—Huggins of St. Louis, Brooklyn, 72 passes. Third baseman—Sweeney of Chicago, 49 passes. Shortstop—Evers of Boston, 56 passes. asses. P'Center flelder—Leach of Chicago, 63} ® passes. Right filelder—Cravath of Philadelphia, 62 passes. he record number of bases on balls obtained by a National League player this season in one game is four.

Physicians say his by ition ts : Pe , ‘“‘Thumbs Down’’ for McGraw. F John McGraw, on his way down ing for a helping hand, hegnight as well put oa blinkers and save him- self from acute disappointment. If there’s a club manager or magnate in the league who would engineer @ deal need, the league board of directors had better not be informed as to his identity. Charlie Herzog has turned over & dandy player, Moran, ‘to the Boston Braves, helping that club considerably. Charles has no reason tv love McGraw, but even if he had the thumb screws of the powers that be, would have squeezed down any attempt on his part or that of any other manager to help the crack- ing Giants. Every man’s hand is against the three-time—almost four-time—win- ners of the National League flag, making the chance that the resource- ful leader of past races will break a world’s record, this year, meager indeed. The Test for McGraw. = IDING a stake horse to victory is a simple enough proposition, but jockeying a broken-down selling plater first past the finish, is an equine proposition of a totally differ- ent chromatic scheme. The _ stake horse will run to his mark, whatever happens; but the plater is likely to quit under whip and spur. As nearly as may be judged, this ts now happening to the Giants. Past world’s series seem to show that the New York club -has been inclined to falter in an emergency. Weird de- fense at critical times has cost the club practically the last three world’s pennant series. “Big Four’? Now Weakened. T O make matters worse. what was formerly a strong pitching staff has disintegrated, and the “big four” hurlers, Matty, Marquard, Tesreau and Demaree, are but shades of their former selves. Perhaps this is going too strong as regards Matty and Tes- reau, who had been doing splendidly until the slump began. It’s enough that they're all going poorly now. Some Chauffeur! Here's the time for McGraw to prove he’s THE manager of the baseball world. If he can put the brakes on his slipping ma- chine. and retain first place, he’s a wonder indeed. - 7 ~ Hugh Jennings Did It. ACK in 1908—incidentally another year in which a St. Louis club was a close contender for the pennant— the left side of Jennings’ infield ¢racked completely toward September and the club for a brief period lost its grip on first place. But Jennings went out and grabbed some.help, shook his club to- gether and won by a hair, finishing gamely. Will McGraw be able to rally, too? His case seems worse than Jennings’ just new. > ea the chutes, is looking about appeal- to strengthen McGraw, in his hour of The Greatest Baseball Race? EF ANS are saying the present Na- tional League struggle is the “greatest baseball race,”’. but the American League scramble of 1908 was just such another.

That's a REAL finish. — Bosten, the Lucky Club. "HE Western trip has made clear the following points: That the Giants’ pitching will have to mend at ovae, if the club is to have a lookia. That the Cubs are far from be- ing out of the race. That the Cardinals have the best all around equipment for a strong finish of any club in the hunt. That the improvement in Pitch- era Hess and Crutcher are factors likely te swing the scales Boston- ward, t Reversing these verdicts would put the Giants far enough in front to tide off their fall down on the present Western trip. { Those Braves certainly ought t9 vuy Dame Fortune a handsome re- membrance. .She certainly is good to Stallings. The fickle jade is treating Stallings to another good luck show- er in handing him Moran, formerly with the Reds, and in uncovering first-class form in two pitchers con- sidered weak vessels, Hess and Crutcher. Hess showed his metal by outpitch- ing Babe Adams Saturday, and letting the Pirates down with two safeties Previously Crutcher had come through with a two-hit game against Cincin- ati. 5 If these two men can finish out the season with anything like such form, the pennant can hardly be kept away from the Braves. . « * Discards Cost Giants the Flag. { F New York loses the race by three or four games, McGraw can thank himself for the defeat. Red Ames, discarded by the Glants as not. up to pennant class, has been a win- ner for the Cincinnati club, and has twice, within four weeks or 80, turned the trick against the Giants. Herzog, whom McGraw let go, has, in the last month, chung the Giants for half a dozen victories. LBL LLL _ IF TABLE. NATIONAL LEAGUE.
