To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
articles OF THE SUN on the progress OF the
war have been SO conspicuously fair that
take the liberty to correct an error In
to-days issue.
Prince Lazarovich says that there are
German Notifications near Atkrch. and
even describes the construction OF the
forts He is mistaken. There are no
Notifications whatsoever In that neigh
borhood south OF Strassburg and west OF
the Rhine. The whole district Is an open
country. There will be no battle there.
and the French troops pouring into this
narrow valley will have TO stop at strass-
burg. The larger the force they assemble
there the better II will be for the Ger
mans. The narrow mountain passes
through which they advanced will make n
retreat very difficult
The fighting reported consisted OF course
of skirmishes with the few German troops
left to observe the enemy. 1t was never
intended to defend this part OF Alsatia.

CUMMINGS AND BALDWIN
Hartford co11rantA


 The Hartford Times is informed by a. special from Bridgeport that Homer S. Cummings of Stamford has de- cided not to be candidate for the United States Senate, but to go in for the governorship.
 This is interesting from number of points of view. It readirms the strength of Governor Baldwin We doubt if anybody familiar with politics thinks that MT. Cummings would throw the chance for the senatorsfaip away if 1t came his way. On the other hand, he is not the man to waste his time and energies going af- ter it when he sees it is out of reach. It is safer to go along as the tail to a bigger senatorial kite.
 It is the current opinion both in and out of the state that Governor Baldwin is the ab1est, as he admitted ly is the best known, Democrat of tn state. Indeed, he occupies that rela- ton to his party in all New England If it became the fate of Connecticut to have Democratic Senator, Bald win would best serve and best ac- credit the state. But he isn't elect ed yet. It looks, however, more like his easyn on1iRation than it did be- fore thiS announcement
 MT. Cummings is a hustler. He is more forniidabIe on the stump than Is Lieutenant Governor Tngier If he and Baldwin line up together it will take a. lot of work to beat them in even Democratic convention.

New York, Jan. 2.-Con1rmation of reports from Berlin that Juslis Rosen4 wald of Chicago, who is at present in-. yestigating European banking sys-, temse for financing men of small means, would soon establish in this country chain of banks in an effort to aid small borrowers who are un=- able to obtain loans from ordinary Financial institutions, was given here last night by Dr. Edwin l..

 The banks will make loans of small announts-ass low as s10. An attempt will be made Jas is done in Europe, to encourage only sucn patronage as is too small for ordinary profit-madng institutions to accept and to make the interest rate only sufficient to pay actual expenses of handling the ac- count No loans will be made without evidence that the money is to be used for legitimate purposes.
 Another feature will be the issuing of savings certificates in small denona- nations, purchasa.bIe on small weekly or monthly. payments and bearing 5 per cent. interest and redeemab1e on demand.

BALDWIN ON CURRENCY LAW.
fHartford Times. )

A "So far as can see, the new bank ing bill is, for one thing, a pretty good Prescription against panics.' This Statement of Governor Baldwin at a meeting of Connecticut bankers in New Haven last evening points to one of the principal reasons for the fram- ing and. adoption of the bill, and if it will do what it is intended to do stso far as Governor Baldwin can see," it will do as well, probably, as any law can dO.- Few men can see farther than Governor Baldwin can, >particu- 1arly so far as the law is concerned and generally so far as finance is con- cerned- Moreover, he would not have approved the bill simply because it was product of the democratic administration in which he is a believ- CT. If he had not been convinced it was a right-down good thing he would have been as quick to criticise as to approve. Evidence of this is to be had in his independent stand against the presidents countrywide primary policy.
 The governor has dared, all through his life. to declare independence in important matters, and because he has seIdom4though not aIways-been found in error, the public has placed a high and proper estimate upon his worth as a public official. Through m long series of years he has lived up Go the estimate, and he seems not likely to lose through the stand he has taken now upon the currency bill He does not declare the law a perfect one. but considers it sufficiently strong and adequate so thatthe board which will have the responsibility of apply- ing 1t will be "the crucial point in it's successful working. As the person mel of that board is to be decided by President Wilson, there need be no fear on that score. The big head lines in a morning paper which de- elared Baldwin Hopeful of Currency Bilf" would have been more accurate had they said, Baldwin Confident
