The legislative Deadlock Broken.

The agreement reached by the Democratic Sena-
tors and Republican AsSembymen regarding appro-
priatons is not a complete victory for either branch
Of the Legislature. Yet the Republicans need not
feel dsheartened. If they were unable to abolish
the Department of Efficiency and Economy and the
state Fire Marshal directly or by starving them.
they have won victory by Withholding new appro-
pratons, compelling these Democratic controlled
bureaus to run along until next year and as much
further as they care 10 on the money already
granted to them
Economy is an issue which should interest the
taxpayers but doesn't seem to do so. This Demo-
cratic Republican fight has resulted in appropria-
tions much below the level of last year To that
degree it has been valuable If not popular.

Sir. As a constant reader of your great
paper who appreciates it's sane conserve
tism. as distinguished from the rampant
sensationalism OF some other newspapers,
would you kindly permit me, as n citizen.
but especially as a professed Christian,
TO protest against the style Of oratory
affected by some sensationmongers i'm
this city, who draw similitudes with
the figure Of Christ for parallel.
inasmuch as such comparisons are not
only irrelevant, but actually blasphe-
nous?
The declaration OF one soclalistil
speaker. that he would prefer to BE in
hell' with one particular person than in
heaven" with another. discloses a person
ality either egregiously frivolous OF en-
tirely bereft OF due sense OF proportion:
whilst the various opinions expressei IS
TO what Christ would do" under cen n
circumstances, are not only worthless,
idle effusions. but are superlatively pre-
sumptuous and reveal the presence IF az
egotistcal spirit simply appalling TO con-
template.
That we are living IN a social atmos-
phere impregnated with the vapors OF
disaffection, acerbity. suspicion and de-
ceit may be very true; but IL is also true
that careful analysis would discern, and
perhaps release from their environment.
many basic clements of probity, and even
generosity. which with skilful manipu-

critics.

have no epithets or phrases applies ole to

The Police Must Remember the System.

1t is all right for Mr.. Henry Bruere, serene in
the elevation of his City Chamberain's job to
advise the police to forget the System" and con-
centrate on the blessedness Of the social service
aspect of their work That is fine and high view
TO take. The only trouble with it is that it is
altogether superhuman.
The policemen may try 10 forget the System"
but the System will not forget them When a
Clean honest young patrolman starts TO forget the
System and attend to his idea of social service
by interfering with the protected industries which
afford some grating captain assurance of support
for his old age ii is more certain than death aud
taxes that this patrolman will find himself framed
and fined or dismissed on false charges, unless his
memory Of the Systems power becomes active
enough to make him stop bettering social conditions
The average policeman enters the department not
for social service. but because he wants job-juSt
as men undertake any othey line of breadwinnng
activity. The System" has always had the power,
and still has it, TO separate the subordnateS from
their Jobs by hook or crook Mr. Bruere is right in
his advice so far as 1t is intended TO encourage
more efficient police work, higher standard of dis
interestedness finer ideal Of honesty and better
esprit de corps among the men, These things are

THE WAR SITUATION

Beyond the fact that the allied French. British and Belgian forces are taking the offensive, little has bean made public regarding the operations in Belgium and northern France.
 French official announcements say the Germans are particularly active in the region of Ypres, but that they have achieved nothing and that everywhere else on tue Aisne the allies are holding their ground. To the northeast of Soissons, however, the allies have made rather notable progress. gaining Yregny plateau, on which they had not previously been able to gain a foothold.
 In the eastern field of the war, accord ing to all official reports, the Russians have made decided progress against the Germans and Austrians. Russian cavalry have penetrated German territory. Like wise the Russians have driven back the rear guards of the Austrian forces along the Nida river, in Poland and in Galicia are carrying out a strong offensive move ment.

RECOMMENDATION OF REPORTED FIGHT Said That Naval Battles Rage Off Chilean
 Coast

Valparaiso, November S.--No informa- ton has been received here of reports prevalent for the last few days that naval
 battles have taken place off the coast of
 Peru and off Coqumbo, Chile. Both re-
 ports now are considered baseless. Chile is endeavoring to maintain strict- est neutrality. It even has relieved a
 naval official at Coquimbo for inadvert- ently sending a wireless dispatch noting the sailing of the British steamer Oronza while the German fleet was nearby. ! The Chilean transport Maipo has re- turned to port at Callao after a fruitless search for 20 miles to sea for the cruisers that have been missing since last Sun days naval battle. The steamers Caldivia and Chiloe. flying Red Cross flags, con tinue their quest, which thus far has been negative. It is supposed here any
 floating wreckage from the cruisers en-
 gagged in the battle has been carried out to sea.
 The report that Japanese fleet has
 been seen off the coast lacks confirma- ton.

torpedo boats swiftly took flight, losing one smokestack. By their fire they in- flicted insignificant damage upon the Ku- upon naphtha tank.
 Having received the report from Odessa, the commander of the fleet in- formed the coast batteries at Sebastopol of the presence of Turkish ships in the Black sea, and ordered trawlers to take precautionary measures against the ene- my's torpedoes.
 Toward ' o'clock in the morning, in a fog, the cruiser Goeben approached Se- bastopol and began a bombardment The Russian fort replied vigorously. The Goeben's fire caused no damage Several shells fell harmlessly in the city, but one struck the oil depot. another the rail- road and third the naval hospital, kill ing two patients and wounding eight.
 'At the same time a torpedo boat flo- tilla attacked the Goeben, but the ene- my's hot fire prevented it from pro- longing the attack. During the engage ment the Russian torpedo boat Pushtchin made much water and was set aflre. The Goeben's attack lasted 20 minutes, after which she withdrew.
 "Steaming from Sebastopo1, the Goeben sighted the Russian transport Prut, and called upon her to surrender. The trans- port, having no artillery, hoisted her mill itary colors, and steered for the shore Her commander ordered the magazine opened to sink her. Some of her crew saved themselves with small boats, life belts, mattresses and bits of wreckage.
 After this the Black sea fleet set out in pursuit of the enemy, who took refuge in the Bosphorus.
 Our losses on the Prut were two of- fcers, chaplain, 26 sailors; on the tor pedo boat Pushtchin, seven sailors killed and as many wounded; on the Donets, a surgeon killed.
 The fact is established that the Turk ish plan contemplated, simultaneously with the attacks on Sebastopol and Odes- sa, the bombardment of other points on our coast.
 The Breslau bombarded Theodosis and the Turkish cruiser Hamidieh bombarded Novorossysk."

RAPID MOVEMENT OF
 ARMIES IN RUSSIA IS LIKE UNTONAPOLEON

London, November 9.--(2:55 a. m) A Petrograd dispatch to the Post says:
 "The rapidity of the movements on unequalled since the days of Napo- leon. Deducting the time spent in actual fighting, the Russian pursuit has been pressed for more than a week at a rate averaging IA miles per day over very heavy roads.
 There is believed to be no doubt that the Germans in their retreat passed Czenstochowa without stopping. The troops of this column. which ap- parently were marching in good order, probably were the first line of the German divisions extricated from the disastrous fighting in Poland at the cost of the reserve troops and the all lied Austrians
 Similar tactics seem to have been employed on other points, with the ob ject of preserving the best troops This would appear to indicate that the Ger mans have given up their Russian ad- venture and will once more concentrate against France and Great Britain in Belgium.
 Grand Duke Nicholas announce ment that new period of the war is opening means that Russia now will turn her main attention towards set clement of the eastern question. That means, first and foremost. the breaking up of Austria Hungary, followed by the expulsion of the Turk from Europe and possibly the reconstruction of a new Armenia among other rearrange- ments of the Balkan states.
 .'No Russian doubts that Constanti- nople Is the natural capital of the Russian empire and no sacrifice will be thought too great for attainment of that historical goal"
