Meanwhile, railroad earnings are
showing continued losses owing to
trade reaction, and the companies are
obliged to retrench In every possible
direction. Shippers are naturally OPP
posed to higher freight rates. but the
hard fact remains that the railroads
have not been allowed to recoup them
selves as other industries have done
for the increased expenses forced upon
them; while their ability to secure new
capital for making improvements and
extensions is being seriously crippled
by the restrictions imposed upon earn
ing power and the consequent impair
ment of credit. Happily there are
signs that the unreasoning prejudice
against railroads and other large cor
porations is waning. and that more
considerate and more intelligent treat
ment Is forthcoming from those in
authority. There is also less talk OF
new taxation. since our imports are re-
viving and government expenses are
being reduced. An increase OF taxes
at this time, if il can be fairly avoided.
would be the height of political and
economic folly"

FEARS BAD news
London Worries Over Silence Of
Her War Once.
Announcement of Victory, Ex.
pected, Has Not Come.

London. Oct. 6.-The situation in
France is causing great anxiety in
non-combatant circles. The optimistic
attitude of the war Office during the
latter part of last week has aroused
great expectancy. 1t was stated that
the long drawn out battle Of the Disc
ended In complete victory. Now with
the knowledge that the Germans are
extending their lines there is fear that
the government is withholding much
of the actual truth concerning the sit
uation. -a -~st-
The war Office has nothing to say
other than to repeat that the general
situation remains good There are no
details of the fate of the British
troops on the firing line. Even the
location Of the various units is with
held. 1t is admitted that the entire
British expeditionary forces. the In
dian contingent included, are in ac-
ton. But where they are is left en-
tirely to the Imagination.

THAT nurse took my little mother
by the hand and ran toward the
house. She hurried my little mother
SO fast that she stumbled and dropped
me and that nurse dragged her right
along without SO much as q glance at
me.
II could hear my little mother cry

her. but that nurse never stopped.
She went into The house and heard

Won Kluck Stoves Allies Bach
From Communications.
His Lines in Less Peril Now
Than They We're Before.
(By ]. w. T. Mason.)

New York, Oct 6.-The ladder
which the alleis are climbing toward
Belgium is being rather violently
shaken at the back-the French ad-
vancing brigades are beginning to
reach the ladders tOpmOst rungs. Won
kluck's renewed offensive along the
Disc, which has forced the allies to
give ground, has its chief significance
as an attempt to force the allies into
backing down the ladder.
Won Kluck's success is indicative of
the danger that faces the allies If they
weaken the rest Of their front in order
to throw an overwhelming force
against the Belgian boundary. The alb
sence of further news concerning the
movements OF the allies about Arras
suggests Won Kluck has succeeded in
hating the Anglo-French northern
movement by suddenly and unexpect-
edly concentrating at the northern end
of the line. SIS
Besides this Accomplishment. Won
Kluck has contributed to the safety of
his own retreat, if il becomes necessary.
The main objective point Of the allies
north of the Disc is the important rail-
way junction at Tergnier where con-
nection is established between the rail
communication of the central German
army and Won Kluck's principal rail-
way line OF retirement. Won Kluck,
apparently has forced the allies fur
Their to the west of Tergnier and has
thus increased the distance between his
lines of communication and the enemy
He has done this too at one Of the mar
rOwest stretches in the long lane that
runs between the two armies toward
Belgium
Russia's operations in Galicia are
still halted. waiting apparently on the
perfection of plans for the next Of
fensive after the investment of Cra-
COW. The development of the Berlin
campaign is the new objective, but its
details must depend largely on the
operations of the German army In
Poland. Reports of engagements be-
ing sent from Petrograd are indica-
tive of the extreme optimism which
warfare seems to implant in the usu-
ally lethargic Slav.
These descriptions Of fierce battles
are too uniformly followed by impor-
tant Russian successes. II they were
true, the Germans should now be in
full retreat. leaving the road to Ber-
lin reasonably open. Instead of this,
however. the road to Cracow has not
yet been freed.
The. truth of these engagements is
that hey are no more than reconnois-
sances in. FORCE whose principal OBJ
jective is to feel out the strength Of
the enemy. They were duplicated in

the German offensive. when retire.
ment by German .skirmishers proba :
bly, with the information they had
been sent to secure, were magniffed
into important successes for the allies.
