 The senate Is 'u a h.~ry; it is a"Z- iouS to adjougn. so this is the way it goes aJoul it. The honorable body one morning spent half an hour read. ing and couueuUug on newspaper clippings about the business conditions of the country gs shown by Demo. cratic papers on one side and Eeuu5- Gcau papers on jhc other. Then three quarters of an hour WAS spent ou tHa question of mileage for senators and members. Tlroo-quartcrs of am hour was then devoted ,1 tHa appointment of courcrecs on am appropriation biI. After that about half an hour was con. sumcd in calling the roll to make sure there was a quorum present. after which thc senate got down to business on the trust bills
 Hitchcoc|s Independence,
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska has been one man who thinks his own thoughts and does as he pleascs, even if it is not in accord with the admins tratiou. "I would rather retire from the senate than wear any mans col lar," the Nehraskan told a few friends, commenting on his opposition to va rious things lhc administration want ed. Hitchcock says he can have as much pleasure editing his paper out in Omaha as staying in the senate should his course not be approved by his party.
 Montana Booming.
 Senator Walsh returned from a trip to Montana and gave glowing accounts of the prospects in that state. "Ihe agricultural outlook is the best cyer' he said. Farmers feel sure of har- ycsuug an abundant crop. New set tiers are coming in and taking up val cant lands everywhere Wool is sell ing for % cents a pound, and cattle prices are booming higher and higher All the mines are in operation, gold silver, zinc and copper are being pro. duced. The only dark spot is in Butte, where labor troubles have Interrupted mining"
 "Lost In Conference"
 How often it happens that senators explain to their friends who are seek ing legislation that 1t has been Host in conference" Former Senator Hale would permit appropriation bills to be loaded down with nearly everything that senators wanted to put in, saying, "Tn take it into conference" which meant that he would lose it as soon as he got if there Senator Town send of Michigan indignantly protests against spending hours and days on amendments which are thrown out in conference. The Michigan senator served long enough in the house to know that the house will not always yield and that it is getting more and more independent in such matters.
 Has His Troubles.
 Senator Myers of Montana stands un for what he wants and sometimes is SC honest and earnest that be gets into hot water. Several times during his brief career in the senate be ha5 had to make personal explanations and to set himself straight on account of comment pr criticism. On account of his detcrmHnation to do as he pleas ed he felt compelled to decline service on a conference committee. It is rare that any occasion ever arises which nn,,sns my srnh nrtinn in ihn snnate.

By ARTHUR ". DUNN.

Washington, July 23.-Lspecial.l- One year ago when the president in- sisted that congress should remain in session and pass the currency bill the assertion was made that a quorum could not be kept in Washington for any such purpose. But there was quorum here most of the time, and the bill was finally passed, although the regular session came along before that was accomplished
 There are many senators and repre- scntativcs who hope that the prcsi- dent will rclcnt and allow the trust Icg.slation to go over, but he shows no disposition to do so. And in that case a quorum Of the senate must remain here and pass legislation, no matter now much they dislike the task.

it was ignoring the British as a factor
in the fight. The allies began a gen.
eral advance on September against

RETREAT OF THE GERMANS
CONTINUES VERY RAPID

Paris, Sept. 14.-The retreat of the
armies OF General Won Kluck and Won
Buelow continued at last accounts with
considerable rapidity. The only official
comment last night was that the allies
were keeping in contact with the en-
emy and had crossed the river Aisne.
They have already made two-thirds
OF the distance from Provins, in the
department of Seine ct -Marne, to the
frontier. The heavy rains of Satur-
day and Sunday are not likely to IA
cilitate the movement Of the famous
42o-millmitre mortars that were to re-
duce Paris and which require forty
horses to draw them. The armies OF
Generals Won Hausen and the Prince
of Wuerttemberg, which constituted
the center, seem to be headed toward
Rethel and Mezieres, though part Of
this force is reported as still resisting
at the south end of the forest of the
Argonne.
1t was reported last night that the
armies of the Crown Prince. the Prince
OF Bavaria and General Won Heeringen
had been forced across the frontier and
that the entire territory of French
Lorraine had been liberated.
This disposition OF the German ar
mics. if confirmed. makes another con-
centration in France, as suggested by
certain critics is impossible. 1t leaves

BLOCKING THE NAVY.

It is unfortunate that the effort to create new grade in the navy, that of vice admiral. because of cfrcum- stances which have revealed the need of it, should be handicapped by the attempt to secure the establishment of new grade in the army. This looks like a fear on the part of the army officials that they are not re- ceivtng as many favors as the navy. when as a matter of fact it is not a question of passing out favor but of having an official in charge of a fleet who will rank with those of other nations.
 As far as the operation of our navy by itself Is concerned no demand exists for the new office and no change would likely be made but there have. been several instances where our rear ad- Inlrals have been outranked when par tfcfpattng in naval operations in which we at least should have equal rank and as in the Mexican instance the situa- ton calls for a United States off c1al to he in charge.
 For the army to attempt to er1bar- fass the giving of the necessary re- auirements to the navy when in foreign ports indicates g. failure to give proper consideration to the situation, and the manifestation of 9 greed which should never appear. The situation at present concerns the navy and the creation of ( new rank therein because it is need ed ought not to depend upon the hand tng out Of favors to the army When the time comes that the rank of lieu senant general is demanded in the army 1T will then be time enough to give 1t the consideration it deserves.

FILING INCOME TAX BLANKS.

An opportunity is presented by the presence in this city today or Income Tax Agent James B Martin. for those who have not yet forwarded their in come tax blanks. or those who are puzzled by the blanks and require ments, to get some first hand fnforma- ton concerning this intricate matter which has caused no end of perplexity from coast to coast. While many have already discharged their duty in this respect according to their pest under standing as the result of proper thought upon the matter, there are others who, as in many other instances let such things go until the last min ute. To them and to others who may not be clear upon certain provisions and requirements MT. Martin as the representative of the government can unquestionably be of much service
 Because of their inexperience in such a duty it is the individual rather than the corporation who is going to ex- perience the greatest bother. It should however be realized that the procras- tination with federal taxes and tax requirements is a far different thing from forgetting local taxes. Even though he may not approve 1t, no one should be deluded by the tdea that 'punctuaity is not required, or that the requirements will not have to be lived up to. Much greater trouble and expense are to be avoided by doing ones best to meet the requirements and not forgetting that the individual blanks must be filed by the nrst of March, which is Sunday. If this duty has not been performed now is the time to get into aaeion.

cuRLEY,s RESIGNATION.

In sending his resignation to Wash ington Congressman Curley, who is also mayor of Boston, is frank in acl1nowl- edging that his decision comes as the result of the action which has been started in the house to declare his seat vacant That he should resign from his post in Washington, after his cleo ton to the mayoralty was to be ex- pected and it would have been far more to his credit to have taken such a step on his own initiative rather than to have been forced into it after de- claring that he intended to hold down both jobs.
 There are requirements in either one of the jobs which he held which make it evident that he could not give both the attention which is required and do justice to them. Either one is suf- ficiently important to require his full attention if efficient service is intend ed. To attempt to hold both at once opens the situation to a claim of sal ary grabbing. Boston and Massachu- setts is entitled to the services of it's congressman in Washington This doesn't mean simply when it is con- venient for the official, but practically all the time that congress is Tn ses- sion Boston is 8 city or such size as to have similar demands for its mayor. The impossibility of being in two places at the same time made the action which has been taken under fire, the only thing to do. It might well have been one of his municipal campaign promises. Then he could have pointed with pride to the action which he has now been forced to take.
