superb horseman and that he watched
the troops with a penetrating gaze that
seemed to embrace every detail of theiI

As Gen. Grant was met by Gen Meade
and his stan. the two generals then rode

by a staff that seemed more splendid in
its brilliant uniforms than either Grant s
or Meade's, was waiting to receive them.
1t was Gen. Hancocks first public ap-
pearance with his command since his re-
covery from his Gettysburg wound.
Hancock greeted his superiors with a
salute that seemed to those of his ad-
mirers who watched him a model of
grace and gallant bearing, and then rode
on to give the order that was to set his
corps in motion.

TEN SHIPS TO CARRY COAL
FROM VIRGINIA TO EUROPE

NEW YORK. August 13.-Risks or
American shippers to Europe during the
war were set forth today in a synopsis
of maritime and international laws bear
ing on liability of capture by the cham
Der of commerce committee on problems
of shipments.
The document gives lists of articles
classed as absolute and as conditional
contraband and points out the circum-
stances under which ships may be seized
as prizes of war. 1t also defines the
scope Of war insurance.
General information on the subject sets
forth that the liability of goods shipped
by American merchants to capture as
prizes of war depends upon the destina-
tion Of the goods, the ownership of the
goods, actual or presumptive after ship
rnent, the character Of the goods, whether
contraband or not. and the nationality of
the carrier.
Shipments by Americans made in good
faith to neutrals in a neutral port can
never be considered as contraband: it is

"Of the price paid by the average re-

The remaining three-hfths do not rep

steps and reasonable profits. a tremen-
dous amount of unnecessary and eco
nomically unjustifiable waste.
Its all very well to talk about reduc-
ing the high cost of living, but what has
been desperately needed for some years
back Is q comprehensive constructive
campaign along practical lines to keep
prices from going higher. With more

relatively less land devoted to production.

the greatest possibilities lie in the elimi-
nation Of wastes in distribution.
This means a comprehensive municipal

best and cheapest way. Such a system
should be built on q comprehensive plan,
each step being taken with a definite view
not only to the next step, but also to the
final completed structure. Such a system
should have in view problems Of sanitary
handling in the cheapest possible manner,
elimination of needless transportation and
rehandling. elimination of all Avoidable
wastes through bruising, putrefaction or
loss in transit and storage, elimination Of
unnecessary rental, unnecessary jobbers

Strict Censorship Reigns.

The strict censorship exercised over ths
whole field makes it difficult to estimate
the value of the news received
The struggle for the possession of tha
Belgian forts surrounding diege has re-
commenced. and reports of artillery and
cavalry engagements are taken as indi-
eating the possible beginning of great
battle on Belgian soil. The bulk of the
German forces is believed to be con-
centrated on the frontier between Liege
and the Duchy of Luxembourg. This leads
to the conclusion that Germanys fron-
tier facing Russia can be only lightly
guarded, probably by newly organized
armies composed of reservists called TO
the colors.
