LONDON. Sept. j14.---The first
stage of the battle Of the Marne,
which, from the numbers of fighting
men engaged, the extent OF the line
of battle and the terrific slaughter,
is perhaps correctly described as
"the battle of the ages" and appears
to have been won by the French and
British armies. but the main Ger
man army is still intact and the su-
preme clash is still to come.
The present week may see even
more desperate encounters than any
which have yet taken place. Metz.
the capital Of Lorraine. and the
chain of forts thence to Diedenhoe-
fen, on the Moselle, seventeen miles
north Of Meuthe, form a strong
pivot for the Germans left while
the river courses and the dense for
ests on the frontier, together with
tho strategic roads give the German
army OF invasion--now IN retreat
a splendid opportunity for defeu-
siye action, should the French pur-
suit extend this far.
Military observers OF the battle prA.
oict all kinds Of possibilities at the posi-.
uohs they held before they started the
rush OF 10000 men on Parts, particularly
should they succeed in taking back any

firmly resisted the efforts to con-
vince them that the stock exchanges
ought to be opened. Not only on this
side, but also in London, it is now
stated, the exchanges will remain
closed until there is a much more
auspicious time for the experiment
of opening them. People who have
securities on their hands will have to
get along as best they can; the banks
will have to be as lenient as possible
in the matter of loans on securities;
and the supervisory authorities
which impose these conditions will,
in their turn, be under the necessity
to extend all possible consideration
to both banks and borrowers. 1t is
believed by the financial conferees
that on the whole this policy is safer
for all concerned than to open the
exchanges and risk the consequences
of a possible rush to convert into
cash,

AN ATHLETIC FIELD.

Some provision should be made for
m athletic field for the five high
schools of Washington.
Each fall and spring thousands
watch the interscholastic contests on
gridiron, diamond, and track. Still
The high school athletes have no
home to call their own. Other cities
have fields, but this has been entire
~ neglected by the Capital.
This fall, as in the past, hundreds
are forced to travel to the extreme
northeastern section of the city to
watch the school boys indulge in
healthy competition. The accommo-
dations are the best obtainable, but
sar from adequate, and the park is
niles removed from the sections of
he city in which the vast majority of
hose attending four of the five in
stitutions reside.
The Board of Education acted
wisely when, some years ago, it of
icially recognized inter-high school
sports by placing them under the
formal jurisdiction of a committee
composed of a teacher in each
school. This board has labored hard
and has succeeded in placing athiet-
Ics on a high plane. Eligibility has
been made so stringent that all ath-
!etics have been subordinated to the
more serious work of study, while
he business management is much
more satisfactory than when the
inancial end was left to the judg-
nent of youths selected by their
schoolmates.
But there is crying need for a
field. The sooner the authorities of
he District realize this, the earlier
will it be possible to elevate desirable
athletics even higher and, through
Increasing the attendance, add to the
more general interest and participa-
lion among the students.

Major Portion of Outlay Is for

Having planned and appropriated fol
comprehensive system Of improve
nents prior to the outbreak Of the
ness depression in the South. the South
ern Railway Company has determined
not to alter its arrangements, but Is
proceeding with the work which will
call for expenditures approximating
SO 100000. The major portion Of this
outlay is being expended in the South
for labor and materials.
Probably the most important feature
Of the new work Is the double track
ing of seventy-five miles of road in Vir-
giria and North Carolina. which will
make the total length of double track
tetween Washington and Atlanta 81
miles.

1000 cars Is being built, while at Rich
mond and South Richmond, Mobile, and
Atlanta extensive improvements which
will greatly facilitate the handling of
traffic are being made.
One of the most expensive improve
ments underway is the new coal dock
that is being built at Charleston, S. c.
adjoining the Cooper river The dock
will have loading tower with a capac-
tty to handle thirty cars an hour. Sew

NAVAL SUPERIORITY.

Speaking broadly, the German
army and the British navy have both
failed since the beginning Of the war
to measure up to the expectation
that were entertained Of them. The
German army did not smash its way
to Paris and it's chance of getting
there at all is not brilliant.
On the other hand the British navy
has made a showing that cannot but
be a keen disappointment to the ma
ton. The admiralty has not demon
strated a grasp of it's problem at all
comparable to that which has been
displayed by the Germans.
The defeat of a British squadron
off the coast of Chile is in many
ways the most notable naval occur
renee of the war. The Germans bad

ers in the Pacific, and three British

Customers Should Exercise Care in
Buying.

To the Editor Of the Mail Bag:
To lessen the cost Of living seems to
be uppermost in the minds Of most
people and all sorts Of plans have been
set in motion to produce that result, but
there is one thing that seems to have
escaped the attention Of everybody-it
is the simple matter of scales. A large
percentage, perhaps half, Of the scales
used in Washington are utterly unin-
telligible to the customer A man buys
a steak. the tradesman puts II on scales
which the customer cannot read. and
announces that 1t comes to AZ cents
The helpless customer pays the II cents
in blissful ignorance of what II weighs.
This is all wrong. The Sealer OF
Weights and Measures should not per-
mit tbe use of scales that are an
an;gma to customers. II he has the
mower to prevent 1t. If he has not, the
customers have; they should refuse to
natronize a dealer that uses them An
other thing is measures. The thing we
blIy most Of by measure Is potatoes. A
nec,s OF potatoes should weigh nfteen
mounds. but 1t takes a well-rounded
measure to weigh that amount. 30 no
dealers sell potatoes by weight. which
is the correct method =,
As rules seem TO De III oruer' VIII
venture two or three:
First Ascertain the price per pound
of what you buy. 40
Second-Trade only with people whose
.ooIos yon can read, and are SO placed
that YOU can see them.

THE SUFFRAGE FIGHTS

Seven States voted Tuesday on
constitutional amendments to give
the suffrage to women. They were
Montana, Nevada, Missouri, Nebras-
ka, North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Ohio.
Of these, two appear to have been
carried by the women, Montana and
Nevada. Nevada is the only one that
looks certain, incomplete returns in
dicating that the ladies polled about
three votes to every two for the op-
position. Montana reports the suf-
frage amendment leading, but the
vote close and many precincts
yet to report on it; chances, however,
decidedly favoring it. Nebraska al
so is very close, with the chances ia
voring defeat Of the amendment by
a narrow margin.
Ohio lost the suffrage measure by
an overwhelming majority, probably
125,000. Two years ago the State
voted on the same question, and it
was defeated by only about $1,000.
The women protest, however, that
the seeming increase of the majority
against them is rather apparent than
real. Two years ago only 10000
ballots were marked for and against
the suffrage question; this year more
than 100000. So the proportion in
favor of it is calculated a little larg-
er. Missouri went against the wom-
en- by huge majority; it may be
higher than three to one.
States having a total of eighty
four electoral votes already had ex-
tended the franchise to women. Mon
tana adds four and Nevada three. If
Nebraska should wheel into line on
the total vote, the suffragists would
get eight more, giving them the vote
for a total of ninety-nine electors of
President and Vice President.
Both the "pros" and the "antis"
claim to have won substantial vic
tories in this weeks election. But
one thing about suffrage victories is
to be kept in mind. That is that they
"stick." A State may adopt prohi-
bition, and afterward change its
mind and abandon the policy. Not
so with woman suffrage. The State
that once gives the vote to women is
committed for all time to that policy.
There is no chance to turn back. On
one proposition, at least, the ladies
firmly decline to exercise the first
of their sex.
