THE DAVIS CUP.

The Davis CUP, emblematic of ten.
mis- supremacy, returns to Australia
None will begrudge the sturdy chal.
lengers their victory. The better side
won. The steady teamwork of Wild.
ing and Brookes in the doubles was
too much for the erratic brilliancy
of the defenders. In the singles, the
same calm steadiness marked the
play of the antipodeans. From the
start the visitors seemed the better
team, and their victory in the doubles
made the American defense almost a
forlorn hope.
AS to the cup holders, nobody will
find word of blame for their failure
to retain the trophy. Playing with
a dash and daring which frequently
staggered their opponents. the Amer
leans had to yield to a teamwork
which brooked no opposition, how
ever brilliant.
Williams erratic playing and his
loss of both matches in which he was
engaged proved the disappointing
feature of the American play. Nc
Loughlin's efforts werc those of
champion, but his cannon-ball serves
and comet-like dashes could not over
come the steadiness of Viking and
Brookes in the doubles. Bundy's
work was pleasing surprise. Rated
by many experts as below cup abil-
ity, he welded the racquet with an
effectiveness which outdid even Nc
Loughlin's playing.
The cup is gone to a worthy foe
man. 1t was well won by the Aus
traiians. And in losing it, the Amer
leans fought a valiant struggle
which v! makes the cups departure no
disgrace.

OPENING THE CANAL

The Panama railway steamship
Ancon will traverse the Panama
canal today, bearing the officials of
the railway, the canal commission.
the Panama government, and repre-
sentatives of the press. 1t will be
the formal sign that the canal is
open to the commerce Of the world
The ceremonial opening will take
place next March, when a great in
ternational maritime display has
been planned; a display likely to be
sadly deficient because of more seri-
Gus business on the hands of the
great powers.
Beginning today, the canal will
pass vessels up to thirty-foot draft,
tnclnding ships of war. Vessels of
the powers now at war will be ad-
mitted, and it is not improbable
that some of these will appear soon
with applications for passage. A
number Of these are in the Pacific;
some, at least, engaged right dill
gently in keeping out of the way Of
the willing gunners OF their enemies.
What wo3ld in normal times be
great world event will attract little
attention today. But before many
months it will be apparent that the
Gneming of the canal at this time is
a peculiarly significant matter. With
Turkey on the verge Of entering the
war as an ally of Germany, and with
Italy protesting against the report
ed augmentation of Turkish naval
power; with both Greece and Italy
on the qui vive, and with squadrons
Gf German, Austrian, French, and
British warships scouting the Medi-
terranean on trouble hent, it is more
than possible that the Suez route
will present grave disadvantages to
commerce, which the Atlantic, the
Pacific, and the Panama route will
not know. Therefore, our canal may
get most favorable introduction to
the shipmasters of the seven seas.

up as soon as possible. 1t is no
longer a dubious business PROPOSE
tion for the District, for the small
daily rentals are producing returns
al the rate of $4,000 20 $4,000 a
year, which will more than pay in
terest on the investment.
Only bona fide farm, producers are
admitted to this establishment. It is
the city's invitation to the farmer
who wants to do business with the
people of the city. No brokers or
middlemen are admitted.
Despite that the market has been
so eminently successful, there are
yet many thousands of people in
Washington who do not patronize
and do not know and realize the
opportunities it affords. They need
to know; to go and see; to buy, and
thus to learn the advantages offered
to them.
This is a practical, effective begin
ming in the effort to make the cost
Of living less. 1t used to be said
that the people of Washington, like
the people of most cities, had be-
come TOO modernized to bother about
patronizing such instrumentalities
for regulating the cost of existence.
That, like good many theories, didn't
stand the test of experience. The
people have responded to the oppor-
tunity, and demonstrated that the
experiment was well worth while.
The fact that duplication of the
first big steel shelter is already
is the best proof.
The Washington times., 1914-08-16
HELPING THE FARMER
HELP US.

The District government recently
erected a big steel shelter shed, two
city SQUARES in length, in B street,
between Tenth and Twelfth streets
northwest, to accommodate truck
dealing farmers and enable a real
farmers market to be inaugurated
in such manner as to insure it's per-
rnanency. The expense was not very
great, and the rates at which stalls
are provided for farmers, so that
they may drive in their wagon loads
of produce and sell directly to the
customers, are ridiculously small.
For 1G to 20 cents per day, the far
mer gets his stand.
There could be no more encourag-
ing sign of a new spirit of domestic
economy among the people, than the
big patronage that has gone to this
new establishment. Day after day,
the l44 stalls that are provided are
all taken, while Increasing numbers
Of people come with baskets and bug
gies and automobiles to get their
supplies.
Why the business of this farmers
market has grown at such rate, is
perfectly plain to the person who
will patronize it a few times. Prices
and Quality tell the whole story.
From the headquarters of the Dis
trict government now comes an
nouncement that this establishment
is to be duplicated on the opposite
side Of the market reservation; an
other shed exactly like the present
one will be erected, because the in
creasing number of farmers who
want to avail themselves of the op-
portunity 10 get directly Mt their
and the increasing num-
beTs of customers who want to buy
from the producer, have al
ready made this expansion neces-

DEMOCRATIC BOGEY
Leaders in Congress Fear Reve.
nue. Necessities May Offset
Other Benefits.

Democratic leaders are convinced that
the effect OF the war IN Europe is 60
ing to be helpful to their party in the
pending campaign. but they are not be-
yond worry on the score OF politics,
nevertheless. The necessity OF imposing
war taxes is giving them anxiety.
Nobody knows how long the war will
last, or how long 1t will be needful to
impose wartime taxes. Even after ac-
tual fighting in Europe is suspended, II
Is impossible to forecast now long IL
will take the stricken countries ip which
the war RACES most savagely, and which
will be enormously impoverished by the
war, to recover and begin to send their
exports to America in anything like
normal volume.
However, the Democratic leaders per-
eciye that It will not do to let the Treas
ury run behind for several months. And
while some of the Democratic politi-
clans are urging that war taxes be held
back until after election, IL seems i'm
probable this course will be taken. The
economic unwisdom Of II Is apparent
and the political wisdom of IL doubtful.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the FL
nance Committee. Is one of the leaders
who wants prompt action.
Various forms OF taxation are under
Once any bill Is brought to

likely to be much modified.
Increase of taxes on liquor and to-
bacco meets with strong favor in both
houses.
On the other hand, there is strenuous
objection to imposing increased taxes
on food products. The proposal to tax
tea and coffee is not likely to be adpted,
the widespread complaint
over the increasing cost OF living.
The plan of changing the income tax
law so as to secure more revenue from
that source meets with considerable sup
port in Congress. 1t Is suggested that
the revenue from income tax be In
creased by reducing the minimum in
come which Is liable to taxation to
&. 900 or $500 This would add largely
to the revenues Politically. there Is
objection to 1t. To lower the exemp-
ton limit would mean that a great num-
Der of people now untaxed on incomes
would have to pay. and paying taxes
never is popular. In this connection, Il
Is proposed to increase the percentage OF
tax on incomes which are already liable.
In the end, the leaders on the Demo-
cratic side will try to figure out methods
of raising more revenue which will be
Objectionable to as few people as pos

THE LITTLE PEOPLES.

Sir Edward Grey, speaking OF
Servia, brought the commons to Its
feet with cheers, by declaring en-
phatically that the time was past
when the world would stand by un-
concerned while the small nations
were remorselessly crushed by over
wcening power.
Sir Edward was right. The small
nations have latterly shown a pref
ty practical understanding Of his
theorem. They have discovered that
it is quite possible to command re-
spect.
The despised little Balkan states
taught Turkey the lesson.
The Beers shot it into the armies
Of Britain.
Japan astounded the world by the
effectiveness with which she i'm
pressed it on Russia.
Servia, by all accounts, is right
now giving a highly creditable ac-
count of herself as against the might
of Austria.
Beleium-well, a local wit and
philosopher observed the other day
that probably Germany was power
ful enough to defeat Russia, France,
and Britain combined: but what was
the use, so long as Belgium wouldn't
let her!"
The little countries are doing
right well. There will probably be
more, rather than fewer Of them,
when the settlement is made at the
end of this war

Boys of the First Battery, N. G.
D. C., Don't Count Injuries
Short Of Total DisabIement.
Under Eyes Of Regulars.
By LEONARD ORMERoD.

One hundred and twenty men. the
sun tan on their faces forming q foun-
dalton for a superstructure OF grit and
powder smoke, that resists even SOAP
and water, are today stretched out un-
der their brown tents on the hills near
Tobyhanna, Pa. for the only real resi-
they will have In twelve strenuous days.
The ID. c." on their collars marks
them as members Of the National
Guard OF the District of Columbia,
while the red cord around their hats
proves them members Of the first bat
terry of. field artillery.
The young man who Is afraid of hard
work makes a mistake when he enlists
In that branch OF the service marked
by the red cord, for 1t stands for more
hard work crowded into fourteen hours
OF each day than the average man will
get In a week. The naval militiamen
who take a cruise aboard a battleshp
each year and the infantry signal corps
and hospital corps who go into camp
annually may have a few blisters when
they get back home, but the boys in the
first battery don't count injuries short
of total disablement.
They Would Not Trade.
For all that the boys in the artillery
would not. for love nor money, trade
their coveted insignia of two crossed
cannons for the crossed rifles Of the
dough boys" the crossed sabers of
the cavalry. the crossed flags of the
signal corps, or the "Mercury's stair
of the hospital corps. There Is some
thing about the deep-throated roar OF
guns of artillery, the deadly blossoming
Of the shrapnel. the rattle of harness
and wheel that makes the artilleryman
smile indulgently when the other
branches Of the service are mentioned.
So each year the First Battery F. A..
N. G. ID. c., goes to Tobyhanna under
the guiding eye Of offisers from Fort
Myer to spend long hours in practice
that almost parallels real warfare. The
officers are Capt. Louis c. Vogt, Lieut..
George G. Wilson. Lieut.. George A
Bonnet, Lieut.. Harry Z. SehiIling and
Lieut.. Ellwood S. Moorhead, jr. The
two most important non-commissioned
officers are First Sergt. Homer NJ. Mohr
