The Punishment" of Servia.

An Austrian official statement explains
that inasmuch as the attack upon Servia
is to be looked upon as a punitive expe-
dition and not as definite war it has
been decided to retire from the offensive
against that country and take up wait
ing attitude, while gathering all Austrian
forces 'for the principal struggle in the
northeast" again Russia. This explana-
ton simply means that Austria, finding
it impossible to crush the Servians. as
was probably at first hoped, now finds it
necessary to turn about and resist the
Russian armies which are menacing and
even penetrating the boundary. The ex-
tent to which the punitive operations
against Servia have failed is indicated by
an official statement issued by the Serv-
ian government at Nish, which declares
that in the engagement on the Drina river
the Serbs captured 400 prisoners, fifty
five guns. eight howitzers, ia caissons,
three field ambulances and a medical
column with supplies, fourteen field kitch-
ems, fifteen ammunition. provision and
telegraph wagons. railroad trains, guam
titles of equipment, regimental strong
boxes. etc. This would seem to have
been case in which the punishment was
applied in a way that the publishers did
not expect. The suspension of active
hostilities against the Serbs does not nee
essarily mean that the Austro-Servian
borders will cease to be the scene Of stir
ring events. which will perhaps prevent
the Austrian army from being moved
bodily to the northeast to meet the ad-
vancing Russians.

Signals Of Departing Summer.

There's a season that invites us to a
melancholy lay,
Anticipating autumn with its sky so
chill and gray.
It comes as summertime prepares to
quit the joyous scene,
When the goldenrod is Haunting where
the meadow still is green.
AS the flowers fade and wither we are
forced to contemplate
The signals which proclaim our
evanescent mundane state.
The time brings thoughts as solemn az

Japan's Part in the War.

Austria's declaration of war against
Japan is merely perfunctory a recogni-
ton of the obligation of Germany's allv
to respond to any aggression upon that
power. 1t cannot have any present eff
feet whatever upon the European cam
palgn, In which the Japanese are not ex-
pected to participate. Yet an interesting
speculation has been prompted by the
German success at Namur, which APP

Europe The investment of Kiaochow
is hardly to be regarded as affording
a very serious task for the Japanese

that Germany offers as Il marx for Eng

the first line of French defenses, ranging
from Lille to Maubeuge. There seems to
be official opinion that II a portion Of the
French force in the late battle near Ma
muir had not assumed an aggressive
movement the allies would have held
back the German onset. It is plainly the
best strategy for the allies at this stage
of the campaign to abstain from aggres-
sive operations, seeking merely to check
the German advance pending the delivery
by the Russians of such heavy blows in
the east as to compel the kaiser to shift
part of his army from the west.
At the outset of the war it was gen
orally felt in this country without regard
to the moral merits of the conflict, that
the kaiser was confronted with over
whelming odds in the combination Of
French, Russians, English, Belgians and
Servians against himself and the Aus
trians. 1t was, however, recognized that
he had the advantage of superior mob
ilization and more effective preparation,
especially against the Russians. who are
slow in getting into action. But the
check received at Lege, together with the
desperate resistance Of the Belgians west
of that city, tended to destroy this ad-
vantage to some extent and permitted
the English to cross the channel and the
French to concentrate, while it lessened
the disadvantage of the Russians. In any
case, whether Belgium resisted or not,
It was plainly the wise course for the
kaiser to move swiftly against the more
mobile foe. in the west. and II possible to
score victory there, in order to be COM
free to meet the onc0mtng
Russians in their turn.
Thus far there have been two distinct
surprises In the war-the effectiveness OF
the Belgian obstruction Of the way
their country and the compare
tive ineffectiveness of the Austrians
against the Serbs. The latter factor can
not be otherwise than a serious disap-
pointment at Berlin. Now the Austrians
are Of little value in the northern cam
paign, engaged as they are at present in
a strictly defensive warfare against the
Russians on the east and the Serbs and
on the south.

Congress and a Quorum.

Mr. Underworld proposition as to Con-
gress is in all essentials sound. Wash
ington is the place for members while
the country has need of them. Public
duties should be put above personal po-
litical fortunes.
The situation, it is to be conceded, is
unusual all around. Legislators have. had
a long, hard pull. For seventeen months
they have been revising old laws and
enacting new ones, going in their work
to the roots of some very important
things Their second summer in session
is drawing to a close. Some are very
tired. Others, with their futures at stake,
are anxious about their fences" They
are impatient to make them horse high,
pig tight and bull strong"
This has made the time on watch here
thin and ragged. Rounding up a quorum
in either house has repeatedly been diff
ficult. A mere handful have participated
in the debates, and not many more have
listened. For months empty seats have
been the rule in both chambers.
But the war has. put new face on
things. A month ago Congress was clos
ing up the work of the session. What
to be done related to the trust
question: and as many democrats as re-
publicans wanted that postponed until
December Many such. therefore, in a
spirit Of protest, took French leave and
went home to superintend their campaign
for reelection.
Suddenly new work has been thrust on
Congress. A sort of new session has be-
gun. Questions of vital importance are
now up, and cannot be postponed. A
merchant marine, SO long neglected, is a
necessity. A war tax. although we our
selves are not at war, must be laid. Meas
ures for the protection Of planters whose
markets have temporarily been closed
must be framed. And any day may bring
take UP and dispatch as quickly as pos
sible.
A corporars guard cannot cope with
these matters. AS full an attendance as
possible in both Senate and House should
be secured Especially should members
of most experience in legislation attend,
and remain active until the pressure has
been relieved.
The time necessary is a problem. But
time Is both money and national safety
now. The legislator whose fortunes are
SO desperate he thinks they can be saved
only by his presence on the scene, to the
neglect of his duties here, is probably
mistaken in supposing that anything can
save them. Not unlikely. he is scheduled
for retirement-for a longer stay at home
than he contemplated when he returned
there for campaigning purposes.

Monument to Meade,
From the Philadelphia Press.

Fifty-one years after the battle of
gettysburg. the project for a monument
to Gen: George Gordon Meade at the
National Capital is taking definite
shape The Pennsylvania legislature has
appropria ted $35 900 toward the cost Of
the memorial. Congress will be asked
TO make an appropriation supplementary
to this amount.
In the meantime the committee on
library. which has Jurisdiction in the mat
ter. has reported favorably on the bill
for the location of the Meade monu-
ment. An appropriate site, satisfactory
to all concerned, has been set apart by
the commission on fine arts in the his
trict Of Columbia. This selection, how
ever, is tentative. pending the action Of
Congress.

War and Legislation.

What will be the permanent value Of
the important legislation thus far enacted
by this Congress: Or will any of It have
permanent value? II was all written for
peace conditions. War has produced
radically different conditions, and when
war Is over we shall have to adjust our
affairs to the conditions that then con-
front lis.
Take the tariff. The Underwood law
was framed with our imports and ex-
ports well known, and with advices at
hand upon which to base calculations for
the future. But as respects customs du-
ties the law is as dead as door nail 1t
is not simply suspended. 1t cannot be re-
vived. Such changes are being brought
about in the world of trade that when
the war is over we shall need a tariff
taking all changes into consideration. We
shall have to figure on establishing new
industries as well as caring for old ones
We shall produce things in this country
we have never produced before. and they
will require fostering. Protection is far
Underwood law.
Take the currency law That too was
framed to meet conditions of peace at
home and abroad. But all financial ar
engagements abroad have been shaken by
the war. and some destroyed. New foun-
dations will have to be laid when the war
is over, and we shall have to adjust our
scheme to the new schemes of Europe
There is hope, and argument to support
it, that New York may become the great
est money center in the world. That
changes in the new currency law will be
required in the near future is certain.
And there are the trusts. Additional
trust legislation has occupied the
thoughts of the party in power ever
since it took the reins, and the greatest
difficulty been experienced in reaching a
ground Of action. The party was still
struggling with the problem when the
war began. How much the war will af-
feet the trusts cannot be stated, but in
some measure certainly. When it is
over our trust question may present a
new aspect. and require treatment &C
cordtngly.
The next Congress therefore will have
to revise in many particulars the most
important work of this. 1t will be i'm
perative for us to bring our legislation
up to date. AS a nation we are in the
general swim, and must keep up our
stroke. We shall contract no entangling
foreign political alliances, but we cannot
ignore or sever such trade connections as
have grown out of our progress. and
must be considered in all we do to hold
our place in the great procession.

War Will Not Delay Panama Fai1

From the New York Tribune
1t is good to hear from Secretary
Bryan that the Panama-Pacific EXPOSE

Not that any one should have doubted

the worlds greatest victory of peace ON
schedule time, despite the pestilence Of
war now sweeping half the worlds civ
ilized area. There seems little hope
now Of gaining official exhibits from
England. Germany or France for the
fair. But England and Germany had
declined to be officially represented some
time before the war cloud appeared, at
least to unofficial eyes. Russia and Aus
tria and Belgium may also be counted
out, We suppose. And Italy has declined
to exhibit. But these losses will simply
render the exposition pre,lominantly
