ago. Today comes a dispatch meagerly
announcing that the landing Of the Brit
ish expeditionary force in France has
been safely accomplished. No idea IS
given as to the size Of the force or its
destination. Hitherto, during the fight
ing between Liege and Namur and Brus-
sells, 1t has baen supposed that the Eng
lish were present in some numbers.
and one dispatch told Of fighting against
German by 'talAes" in the southern field,
but the absence Of specific mention Of
them, taken in connection with teday's
brief bulletin, indicates that they have
been held back from the front Until q
sufficient number had crossed the chan
mel to constitute an effective addition
to the allied army in Belgium.
Today's dispatches express a belief
that the battle at the north end of the
long line which will determine whether
the Germans are to effect material ad-
vance toward Paris is how about to be
fought. Some hints indeed are given
that 1t is even now In progress. But IN
the absence of specific announcement
that the major engagement has actual
ly occurred 1t is necessary to reserve
conclusions. Obviously, the French and
English eensors are not permitting sny.

manders In the field, through the dis

the position and numbers of troops. or
the real stage of the mobilization Of al
lies in Belgium.
That this northern campaign IL re-
Rarded as Of greater consequence Is in
dicated by the comparative official
silence maintained regarding 1t. There Is
considerable output Of information
concerning the French advance into
upper Alsace, where the attacking lines
have been carried we'll over the bound
ary and some progress has been made
toward Strassburg. the main French
objective in this field. This campaign
has dual object, to crafty the Freneh
ambition to strike blow at Germany
upon the historic ground OF 1870. and
to draw off as many German troops as
possible from the northern army. the
objective Of which is Paris.
Russian mobilization Is proceeding
slowly, and 1t will probably be at least
fortnight, 1t 10 estimated. before the
czar's army is ready for really active
work. Much depends, for Germany. upon
the success scored in the west within
these two weeks, for when the main
Russian forces have been assembled
they will call for the services on the
eastern boundary of Germany Of a
large part of the kaiser's armed men to
prevent invasion. It now remains to be
seen whether the great German war

Dangers Of 18th Street Extended.

The agitation inaugurated by residents
along the unlighted section of 18th street
northwest. with the purpose Of procuring
sufficient number of street lights from
the District Commissioners to insure
safety to pedestrians In that district,
should meet with an early and satisfac-
tory response. Whether the recent death
of child by being struck by Carefully

charged to the stygian darkness along
that roadway is necessarily debatable
question, yet this In no wise alters the
fact that a street which carries the heavy
automobile traffic to which this one is
subjected every evening should be ade-
quately provided with the lights neces-
sary to insure safety to all.

hood should be an added factor In ex-

Bull Moosery and the Tariff.

Mr.. Roosevelt still has his nerve with
him. Notwithstanding his record on the
subject. he Is talking tariff boldly, and
lamhasting both the republicans and the
democrats for their latest tariff legisla-
ton.
He said at Hartford Saturday night:
You are indignant about the present
tariff. You believe it represents an i'm
proper theory of tariff making, and more
over the application of improper methods
In the actual construction Of the tariff by
Congress. We progressives agree win
you. But we ask you to remember that
It was the men who pushed through the
Payne-Aldrich tariff who more than any
others are responsible for the revulsion
of feeling which resulted in the enact
ment OF the present tariff"
But not a word about the difficulties the
republicans encountered in their revision,
and who had created them Not a word
about the influences that prevailed to Keep
tariff revision in allegiance between 1901
and 1909. Not word about how pat
and important Mr.. McKinley.s last words
at Buffalo had made the subject, and
how easy 1t would have been at that time
to write those words into law.
Mr. Roosevelt's silence simply empha-
sizes all those points. The story Is COM
mon knowledge. Mr.. McKinley's success
sor. though pledged to carry out Mr..
McKinley's policies, neglected the most
important OF them. Mr.. Roosevelt let the
tariff slide. and put forward policies Of
his own. The result was that the eight
years Of republican inactivity on the tarin
made revision, when it was finally forced
on the party, task Of the utmost zray-
ity and complexity. and the party's lead
ers in Congress-all OF them on the best
Of terms with Mr. Roosevelt-feu down
with it.
But what is Mr.. Roosevelt's proposition
now? Practically, to take the tariff out
Of the hands of consress-which cannot
be done-and give it into the hands Of a
so-called tariff commission.
This. il it could be done, would leave
Mr. Roosevelt in case Of his return 70
the White House with full time to press
upon Congress and the country his poll
cies about the trusts. He would not be
called upon to give any time to the tariff.
either in the way Of recommending to
Congress. or following the subject else-
where.
Mr.. Roosevelt likes the trust question
best Of all, and probably because George
". PERKINS does. Mr.. Perkins is not an
authority on the tariff. but is on big busi-
ness He has had his training in that
Held. knows a good deal about It. has
some pronounced opinions about what the
government should do. and has impressed
Mr.. Roosevelt deeply with them. So
that tariff revision might not fare much

years when he occupied the presidency.

Things have changed. Tha. 7ay Is but

How much longer is q question. The

A surprising and most momentous condl-

There is profoundly impressive truth
now in the fact that no man can tell

ent world upheaval is without precedent
as to size and possible consequences
Great nations have been at war peiore'
but they did not compare in development
or resources with the great nations touas
at war. Soldiers are in the field in great
.er numbers, and are backed by treasure
in larger bulk, than history makes any
mention of. So stupendous are the con-
test and the stake that in this first nusn

go with it. There is earnest nope that
We NAV not become involved Certainly
every effort should be made to keep us

, But we are by no means out OF danger.
For all we know. danger may be near
Any day may produce it. The fact tnat

banking world. and what was done yes

For these reasons-an of them impor-
'tant-consress in this matter should hold
