Attack Russian Forts.

Stockholm, Aug. 6--German warships
were attacking Russia's Sveaborg
forts, at the entrance of the Gulf OF
Finland, today.
1t was in the Gulf of Finland that
the czar's fleet took refuge from the
kaiser 3 naval force in the Baltic. 1t

also to enter the gulf to destroy the
Russian fighting craft.

FRANCE Fnnns SAFE.

Paris, Aug. e. After the brilliant
showing made by the Belgian troops
Wednesday in repulsing the German in
vaders on their way across Belgian ter
ritory toward the French frontier, mill
tary authorities expressed the opinion
today that France was safe against at
tack from that particular quarter.
The Belgians, they said, would quick
ly be reinforced by French and English
bodies and if they could hold their
ground alone against twice their own
numbers. it was considered a foregone
conclusion they could do so aided by the
French and English. The estimate here
was that, to be on the safe side, the
combined forces in Belgium should num-
Der close to 100000 men.
Belgians Surprise Them.
French officers said frankly that the
d sperate and effective resistance put
up by the Belgians, whose army has
never been considered particularly well
trained against the crack German
troops surprised them, they were well
satisfied that it surprised the Germans
and they inclined to think it surprised
the Belgians themselves.
Aside from the material advantage
gained, they added, the moral effect OF
the victory was immense.
Three German army corps took part
in the invasion. The first had pre-
viously passed across the Dutch prov
inee of Limburg and passed into Bel

TIE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

~WNHE DEPARTMENT of public works differs
 from the school or police departments, in the, respect that it spends large sums of money for new objects, and that it employs a large body of floating labor
 This makes it the primary object of assault by grafters and politicians because it offers. more pickings and more opportunity te place. henchmen. s s5
 The expense of the police department is predetefmined within marrow limits It com sists of few certain and fixed charges of which salaries are far the larger part. So 1t isl of schools, in which salaries of teachers and ianitors are the most of the cost Such expen- ditures afford little opportunity to graft and not much more opportunity to place political friends.
 An assault upon the public purse: like that made recently upon the police department, can not often occur The lesson of the expense soc4 casioned by such a thing as the sudden additionl of 50 patrolmen is too long remembered
 But the department of public works does all sorts of things in which the expenditures are more elastic and less understood
 Nobody will be surprised therefore, to learn that the cost of this office has been going up since it was established.
 The director was created with a salary of @2s500. and the purpose that supernumeraries should De eliminated,
 But besides the director there is now a clerk at S1 300 per year, chauffeur at $21 a week. and two. girls at some compensation.
 A horse used to suffice for the directors need but now he requires seven passenger car, of the costliest type, This car can run at night 60 silently t attracts little attention and further evades observation because there is nothing on it to indicate that it belongs to the public.
 At the city yard one man was formerly em- ploved, but now there are several there, each at higher salary, and 2. girl at a substantial compensation.
 Formerly sprfnkling was done by horse, but now by costly automobile conveyance, in a very slovenlY fashion considering that oil has nearly everywhere been substituted for water.
 The street washing methods which have been altered by the purchase of four slow going machines which are not auto driven, but drawn by four horses, in harness, bearing the initials s.J, T. K.', at cost perhaps of $24 a week for the motive power and driver for each.
 Not in the least does this added expense seem to have relieved the earlier expenses of street cleaning. There are more idle or par tially employed foremen than there were be- fore The sweepers are still on the streets, the cans stand where they always stood
 Everywhere there is a multiplication of jobs and a decrease in efficiency. The situation is measured by the Warrenite contracts. Those contracts are the logical result of political at tack upon the public funds entrusted to the de- partment of public works
 Is it strange that taxes continually in crease?
