cautioned him that the delay in nam

has turned a deaf ear to these we'll

come when IL can no longer preserve

A QUEER PROCEEDING.

The Secretary of the Treasury
seems to be operating with a pretty
free hand. and Is not playing the finan
cial game with sny fairness. He had
Just finished accusing banks. with uu.
due haste, of boarding and extortion
and Furnishing them with the loss OF
public deposits. when the Tennessee
State loan was divulged. II had such
an ugly look that a resolution of in,
quiry was introduced in the House OF
Representatives. So far we believe
there has been no response to that
resolution.
Tennessee was in danger OF default
ing certain obligations. and was in
search OF loan. Two banks offered
TO loan this money. with Secretary
McAaoo privileged to FIX the reason
able" rate Of interest. which would
have been 4.2S per cent. He. however
favored another bank. in which he
placed 100000 OF government funds
at per cent. interest. the bank then
loaning the State the money at per
cent. and making a nice profit. The
country would like to know why Sec
rotary McAdoo did this thing. The
State OF Tennessee could have been
accommodated at a lower figure OF
interest charges. and therefore loses
considerable by the higher rate. The
people Of that State who have to pay
for the Secretary's eccentricity. we
should think, would be especially in
terested in an explanation from that
ofhcial.

TRENCHES
German Earthworks Subject Of speeu
lation BY Military Experts.

THE HAGUE. Sept. 26.-The heroic
but thus far futile efforts of the allies
10 drive the Germans from their main
positions along the western battle line
has drawn military men here to a
study OF the German system OF en-.
trenchment. Since the 18th of the
month. French and English artillery
has thrown thousands OF tons of shell
and shrapnel against the German
trenches. and their infantry has made
many an assault, but still the armies
commanded by Generals Won Kluck,
Won Hansen and the Duke OF Wartem-
burg hold the ground they chose for
the defensive, when on September 20
it became evident that only a general
falling back could foil the tremendous
flank movement initiated by the allies.
OF the Best Type.
Very little is known OF the character
OF the German entrenchments-at
least no official information dealing
with the subject is at hand. II Is GER
tain. however. that the field works of
the German army are of the best type
and that they contain some new fea-
lures. One has to read the thousands
Of private letters from the front pub
lished in the German papers TO CLEAN
even the slightest idea OF what the
modern German trench redoubt is
But so little military information OF
any sort escapes the eye OF the Ger
man censors that a thorough descrip-
ton OF the Entertainments IS impos-
sible.
There are enough illusions TO com
Portable sleeping places In the
trenches TO permit the conclusion
that they are very elabopate affairs.
II IL also known that the trenches
are never less than three feet deep.
