What War MOUeS Mean
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-It is now
apparent that the primary cause OF
the confusion into which the Ger
man plan of campaign before Paris
has been thrown, was due to the
German right wing overrunning the
rest of the Kaisers advancing front.
The news that the German right.
reached Provins gives the key to
the mystery. This town is fifty
miles southeast of Paris and domi-
mates the highways which the Ger
man center and left would have used
in proceeding TO envelop Paris from
the south.
The German right got to Provins
too soon. Its phenomenal speed
from the Belgian frontier to Paris
seems to have been unchecked after
reaching the capital and carried il
down the roads across the Marne
river TO join the Germans coming
from the northeast, at ProVins
But the Germans from the north
cast did not arrive. They were
held in check in the Catalanian
field district, where Attila and his
Huns were defeated in the fifth
century.
The speedy German rights there
fore, became isolated. The Paris
garrison emerged and fell on It's
flank. and during the present week
it has been forced back until now
it is fifty miles northeast of Paris,
near scissors.
That the defeat of the German
right wing was due to deep strategy
by the allies is refuted by the frank
admission Of the Paris and London
official reports. earlier in the week.
that the movements of the Germans
were very puzzlinG. They were puz-
zling because they constituted a scfi-
Gus error in calculating the time
necessary for Gerrrlany's center and
left armies to swing round toward
Paris. Somebody among the German
higher officials seems to have blum
dered badly. and German strategy is
now seriously affected. for II must
rcarrange its Objectivcs.
The German attack on Nerdun is
an attempt to open the doorway into
France from the east, the alterna-
tive invasion route to the unfortll-
nately chosen way through Belgium.
Ncrdun is the nOrthernmOst point Of
the famous fortified eastern frontier
barrier that runs along the MeuSe
forty miles to Toul. and after
forty-milc strategic opening to t.pi-
nal continues in a series of strong
forts along the MOSclle river 10 the
Swiss frontier.

FITZGERALD CALLS
HIS PARTY ECONOMIC
Chairman of House Appropria-
tions Committee Defends
Democratic Expenditures.

In a speech delivered in the House to-
day. Chairman Fitzgerald Of the Appro-
priations Committee. analyzed the
enormous appropriations of the present
session Of Congress. and closed with a
| recommendation that in the interest Of
economy one committee Of the House
shall hereafter handle all appropriation
bills.
While defending the Democratic
economy record" Fitzgerald admitted
that the appropriations already made
during the present session will aggre-
gate s1,O9. .4OS,1T which amount is ex-
elusive of the river and harbor bill of
s43, ,0O0,0O0 now pending, and is approx
! mately $3l 10000 more than the appro-
priations of last year. Fitzgerald assert
ed that the increased appropriation was
due primarily to three cauSes-the war
post business, and the contract obliga-
tions of preceding Republican Con-
crosses
The amount appropriated on account
of the troublous situation In Mexico,
$S.6SO,6 added to the excess of ST.
sSO.39S for the postal service" said Fitz-
gerald. accounts for the whole appar-
ent incrSnse in the actual appropria tons
Of this session over those of the last
regular session.
Contending that all appropriations
should be handled by one committee,
Mr.. Fitzgerald said:
THE grants of public money will
neveE be properly controlled while more
than a single committee has authority
to appropriate moneys. The Appropria-
tions Committee has jurisdiction of the
Legislative, District of Columbia, sundry
civil. pensions. fortification and de-
ficiency appropriation bills, while the
agriculture. diplomatic. army, Indian,
Military Academy. naval, river and har-
for, and postoffice appropriations are
scattered among seven other commit
tees. The result is inevitably bad. Com
mittees that have legislative authority
should not recommend appropriations:
they inevitably become biased in favor
of the services over which they have
legislative control
Fitzgerald said that during tire last
three years the Appropriations Commit
tee had cut the estimates on their bills
s74.00o,O0O. while the other committees
had exceeded their estimates more than

US. WILL NOT JOIN IN
PROTEST TO TURKEY
Traditional Policy Declared to
Forbid Action With the Euro.
pean Powers.

The United States will take no action
in concert with other nations to urge or
compel the government of Turkey to
rescinG its notice that it will abrogate
October l all treaties, capitulations, and
concessions agreed to between it and
other countries.
Although the State Department has
been advised that the other powers at
fected by the abrogation will protest, the
policy of the United States. based upon
its historic stand against entangling Eu-
rupean alliance, will not permit il to
act IN unison with these other countries
If, On the other hand, the other powers
succeed in dissuading the porte from
the course II has mapped out, it is as
sumed that the former relations be-
tween the United States and Turkey
will be resumed as a matter OF course.
Secretary OF State Bryan. who has
been in conference with A Rustum Bey,
the Turkish amba ssador. concerning the
public statements of the latter which
have aroused the resentment of Presi-
dent Wilson. was out of town this
morning. Other officials OF the depart
ment declared that Mr Bryan was
handling the delicate situation alone.
and was taking none Of his subordi-
mates into his confidence.
The President being at Cornish. the
White House could add nothing to the
fact. exclusively printed in The Times
yesterday, that the President had de-
manded an inquiry into the accuracy OF
the amba ssadors published statements.
While no official reply has been re-
