Washington. D. c.. Sept. 16.-(Spe-
ciaD There is big trooping back to
Washington from Maine this week.
The orators of the various parties led
the procession. Their work was done
Saturday and most of them made a
bee line southwark. A few tarried
along the way, at Boston and New
York. but nearly all were back at
Washington by Monday to take part
in the work of the legislation and to
recover from their husky and over
strained voices. Three or four sena
tors, who participated in the stump
ing, were welcome accessions. Two
or three Western senators have de-
parted to take up their own campaisns.
One of these is Senator Newlands of
Nevada, who will be at Washington
no more at this session.
The war revenue bill will not be
taken up in the House till towards the
middle of the week, in time for the
Maine representatives to get here and
vote upon it if they wish. They have
had long time, hard campaign to a
man, and the leisure of Washington
may not be quite as restful as leisure
along the Maine shore or in the Maine
woods for a little AS a member of
the finance committee Senator John
son of Maine will have some work on
the war revenue bill when it gets over
from the House. That probably will
not be till the end of the present week
and perhaps not then.

The British Share

The British army is taking it's full
share in this fighting, which on the
front has been particularly severe
since the Germans crossed the Aisne
and made their first determined stand
in the retreat from Paris. The Ger
man center which in the last few days
has come more into line with the
two wings, now stretches from the
heights north of Rheims to the west
ern foothills of the Argonne ridge,
dipping little south to touch Vile
Sur Tourbe. This is all high, rough
ground. in many places covered by
heavy forest, which may by this time
have been destroyed.
Position of German Left
The German left has been driven
back little further than the center
and holds the ground from west of
the Argonne hills, north of Varenne
which the French have re-occupied,
to the Mouse which it crosses at Con-
senvoye, and thence southeastward to
Metz.
The crossing of the Mouse which
the Germans have elected at Consen-
voye is Just out of range of the fort

An authority on ocean traffic, com

elared recently that the attempt to eIe

not justified by trade conditions. There
have been boom times for shipping, he
said, and some companies have paid
dividends of forty per cent or more.
Although industries are active, the de.
mand for cargo carriers has slumped,
and with il the freight rate has de.
elined to a normal figure. Accustomed
TO big dividends, the shipping expert
