The Arny-Navy came.

Washington has larger interest in
the army and navy athletic contest be-
tween the academies than it
has prospect of being selected as the
scene of the games. These annual en-
counters are unofficial tests of the skill
ana physical prowess of the young men
who represent the two branches of the
military service, partisans OF which
are numerous in this city. From Wash
pgtol always go many people to wit
ness the gaines, wherever they may be
held Ihls year ii was hoped that for
the first 1ime an opportunity would be
afforded all Washington TO see the
games. but apparently that is not to be,
as II has been decided that the base
bail grounds axe too small, and Con-
gress IS not willing to provide for the
temporary use of Potomac Park for the
purpose. Consequently there is a pros
pect that the game will be abandoned
this year, inaSInuch as the athletic di-
rectors of the two academies are un-
able to agree upon city.
The chief trouaie in this case lies in
the fact that TOO much attention is maid
TO the matter of large attendance at
the games. In plain truth, the sport
seems 10 have been brought to a COM
mercial basis. The Washington base
ball park will accommodate 10000 peo-
pie comfortably and 10000 in an emer-
gency. Surely this is a large enough
attendance to cover all the expenses of
The two teams. And there should be no
thought for anything beyond that
point II the primary object of these
games is to make money they should
be stopped Ii, on the other hand, the
purpose Is to test the athletic qualities
OF the two academies and to stimulate
an interest in physical exercise an ar
rangement that will -delray the cost of
training meets all requirements
1t is not too late for the two Secre-
tsries to insist upon the establishment
or TIE game on this basis and to insure
the holding of the contest this year in
such q way as to give the people of
Washington, who are SO directly inter-
ested, a chance to witness it here.

tion in the House has grown less and
less, until now, IL the majority SO
orders, there may be none at all. A
few hours for protest, but not a min
ute for amendment. A measure is
passed while you wait.
1t Is but fair to admit that debate in
the House should be limited. 1t must
be. in order that business be trans
acted. The body Is SO large. and law
makers on their feet are so dinuse,
there would be no end if discussion
had a free run.
But between unlimited debate and
practically no debate at all, there is a
workable arrangement which should
be effected.
The war tax measure was the limit"
in the matter of suppression. The
minority of the House had no rights
at all. What was presented had
been prepared behind closed committee
doors and closed doors at the White
House. and the committee on rules
did the rest. A measure designed to
raise hundred million dollars of
additional revenue, and dealing with
the most important subject Congress
considers under the Constitution-tax-
ation-was whipped through after the
fashion of a race horse in close fin
ish.
The House should again become a
deliberative body. 1t should not send
bills to the Senate in such shape that
correcting their crudities lengthens
the congressional session and adds to
party bitterness and produces faction
isms. Had the House given the proper
time to the tariff and the currency. the
special session of the present Congress
need not have consumed more than
four months. But it railroaded both
revisions, and forced the Senate to
such an extended exercise of the right
of examination and amendment, the
special session ran up to the hour for
the beginning of the regular session.
with the Senate carrying off the credit
of having prevented some very dan
gerous legislation.

trenched position previously chosen
and prepared with skill by the German
commanders.
The French claim to have reoccupied
the position south of Verdun, at st.
Mihiel, which was carried by the Ger
mans few days ago. This is chiefly
significant of the fact that the German
attack upon the allied line at that
point has not availed to force breach
which would necessarily involve re-
tirement from the extended position at
Etain, northeast of Verdun. and possi-
bly, from Verdun itself. The German
effort against the allied right was iden-
tical with the French English effort
against the German right. Apparently
the German effort has failed. and if
these unconfirmed reports are justified
the allied effort has succeeded

The New York Result.

The contest in New York being be-
tween the democrats and the repub-
ticans. both parties are to be con-
CIRCULATED on their nominations Tor
the leading places. Gov. Glynn and
Mr. whitman, Mr.. Gerard and Mr..

party standing and of the public con-
fdence. Three are now in office serv-
ing with distinction. while the fourth

If elected to the Senate. he will serve

The day was one of gloom and sad

the primary failed. Interest could not

That the national administration will

posed to Gov. Glynn and Mr.. Gerard.

bright as they were six weeks ago, and

The Long Battle in France

The official bulletins from London
and Paris continue to be strikingly
conservative in their announcements
regarding the military situation In
France, but from unofficial sources
come statements that indicate that the
tide of the battle has turned and that
the German right has been forced to
retreat. Some of these reports, indeed
go so Tar as to state that a portion OF
Gen. Won kluck's army is in danger of
involvement and capture. The fact
that these dispatches were permitted to
go upon the wires by the respective
censors does not necessarily imply their
presumptive truth, but it is difficult to
believe that they would be allowed to
go forth If they were distinctly untrue
Thus they must be read as though they
We're indicative of a condition which
the French and English governments
do not feel as yet justified in announc-
ing concluslvely. Or they may deal
with phases of the general battle line
that do not necessarily affect the whole
situation.
A week ago it seemed impossible for
the fight to continue much longer than
two or three days without yielding
dennlte results. But the struggle was
maintained beyond that point of ex-
pectauon, and now nearly three weeks
have elapsed since the two armies
came to grips along the line running
from ST. Quentin through Rheims to
Verdun. The British war Office likens
the engagement to siege on a vastly
extended scale. comparison that has
been freely used in this situation. As
an alternative to a frontal attack upon
the German intrenchments the allies
have endeavored to work around the
right flank of the German line. to gain
position from which they could SO
menace the communications as to COM

'Some of the hill towns of the west

for Mccall. three for Walsh and none
for Walker. Barry also received three
votes, Cushing one, Goetting one and
Stevens two. The three democrats
must have grown tired when they
reached Donahue's name, as no votes
were cast for him. The nearest rail-
road stations are Williamstown, eight
miles north, and Pittsheld, twelve miles
south. No wonder the hill towns are
calling for help.

Loquacious Diplomats.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

Several diplomats have recently pre-
sumed upon the forbearance of the
United States. They not only indulged
in impertinent criticisms of American
public affairs, but their comments on
our foreign relations are calculated to
arouse ill feelings toward friendly
powers. Some allowance must be made
now for hectic patriotism. but with
trained diplomats the recent utterances
of which the President now complains
are entirely indefensible. 1t is one
thing for a diplomat to defend his
country against misunderstanding, but
it is inexcusable impertinence to use
his office in an extensively worded
Propaganda against a section of a COM
munity, or publicly to find fault with
the foreign policy of the government
to which he is credited. or strive to
create friction between the United
states and friendly nations.

More Freight Cars Busy.

The developments which count the
most in the business of the country,
according to the recent trade reviews,
have for the greater part been favor
able of late.
The foreign exchange situation is
improving, as the result of govern
mental and banking action in Eng
land and here at home.
There has been heavy export buy
ing of wheat.
One of the good signs of the time
is the considerable decrease in the
number of idle freight cars reported
by the traffic managers of American
railroad lines.

The Element of Chance.

Human progress might be otherwise
defined as human success in minimiz-
ins the element of chance. In science
there is substitution of eXactitude for
the primitive accidents of the rule of
thumb. just as in philosophy and
morals truth and untruth, right and
wrong are being unswathed from their
wells of uncertainty and set clearly in
opposition to each other. In other
words. the gambling spirit in life is
less and less countenanced, and gam
ing, once as fashionable as fascinating,
is now taboo even in the most innO-
cent forms.

ROME. Oct. 7.-Reports of the

slaughter is said to have begun
with the thrones assumption by
Essad Pasha as Prince Mohmed.
This Is the first news received

Essad had been made ruler OF
Albania. IL was announced sew
eral DAYS ago that the Albanian
senate had chosen a son of Alb

and stayed on the rails.
