correspondents last previous visit in
June. with the exception of immaterial
losses and gains of ground on both

especially by posting artillery. includ-
ing heavy batteries. in advantaseou

Chides the Former President
for Crying Over a
Stubbed Toe.
PLATTSBURG SPEECH CASE
CLOSED; VERDICT STANDS
War Secretary Warns He May Bor-
row Mr.. Roosevelt's Plea
for Preparedness.

CAS- 10 'buffonery'-tut tut, colonel
Remember that when you stub your
toe now, YOU are too old to cry. even
if 1T hurts TOO much to laugh said
Secretary Garrison today in the three
day word war between himself and
former President Roosevelt, precipi-
tated by the 1atterS recent speech on
preparedness at the Plattsburg mill
tary camp.
With this parting shot the Secretary
of War concluded his participation in
the forensic engagement, prefacing it
with the following statement. absolv-
ing all of the administration except
himself from responsibility:
Says Verdict Must Stand.
The case is closed and THE verdict
must stand.
There is nothing in Mr. Roosevelt's
make it proper to do SO. The personal
and official relations between Gen.
Wood and myself concern us and do
not properly concern Mr.. Roosevelt. I
do not require Mr.. Roosevelt's assist
ance to determine what they are Or
should be, and 1 seriously doubt if the
general does.
'"The administration (outside of my
self has had nothing whatever to. do
with this matter, and Mr.. Roosevelt,
therefore, could not have obtained any
authentic knowledge of the views of
the administration concerning his
speech or his conduct from anything
that l have said or done.
May Borrow Colonel's Plea.
LAS to his assumption that I object to
the making of strong pleas for proper
military preparedness, it would be i'm
possible for him to entertain more
unwarranted one. 1 have gone to the
limit of my vocabulary in an endeavor
to make such pleas just as strong as
words could make them. If he has
found some stronger than / was able to
find, he runs the risk that 1 will bor-
row them. He will, feel sure, permit
me to do SO much, without requiring me
also to borrow his idea that our present
state of unpreparedness makes it desir-
able to engage in war with four or
five other nations"

ARE COMMON CARRIERS
Public Utilities Commission to Take
Jurisdiction Over Vehicles
in Near Future.

Washington jitney buses in the near
future will be operated as common
carriers, under the jurisdiction of the
public utilities commission.
This decision was reached by the
commission today, and will be formally
communicated to the jitney companies
probably early next week.
1t is expected that the jitney COM
panies and individual owners will be
supplied with blank forms upon which
they will be required to make returns
as to the number of cars operated,
routes traversed. schedules followed.
etc. They also will be required to sub
nit annual reports and financial state
ments as are other public utility cor
porations supervised by the commits
sion.
Forty-One Now in Operation.
According to records on file in the
District building, but forty-one jitneys
are now operating in Washington un-

to the Arlington Bancroft Company for
eight cars; Baltimore and Washington

Jitney operators have known from
the start that they eventually would
be required to operate under the su-

The board has waited for the estab-
lishment of jituey services before at
tempting to assume jurisdiction over
them when they were in formative

taken up for some time. The board
will give the companies and individual

Berlin Paper. ID.

AMSTERDAM, via London. August 2S
THE Berlin Vorwaerts, in discussing the
new German war loan, directs attention
to what it characterizes as the alarming
financial situation which Germany must
face at the conclusion of the war.
After the war" says the paper, "the
imperial debt and pensions alone will de-
mand an annual expenditure of at least
two and half billion marks ($625,OOO.

ordinary and extraordinary imperial ex-
penditure for 1912.
"In other words. the income of the en-
pre hitherto will only suffice to pay the

other expenses new sources of taxation
must be created. Whoever remembers the

division on Turkish hill to the left
of the sulva bay position. the corre-
spondent says:
THE Turks came out to meet them,
and most exciting bayonet fighting fol-
lowed on the saddle between the two
crests. Bayonets were flashing and
stabbing for several minutes before the
Turks began to give way. Then they
left the crest and ran down over the
ridge, the Irishmen standing up ani
firing down on them. while at intervals

hind drowned the sound of the rifle

Frightful Losses Result.
The battle for Sari Bair hill. which
the Australians and New Zealanders
captured, but were compelled to evac-
uate because the troops on their left
did not advance far enough, was a
most desperate one, according to the
correspondent, who says:
THE dead lie thick everywhere and
the stencil is appalling. On the 9th the
Turks came down in great numbers
from the ridge above and tried to
sweep our men off the hill entirely.
They themselves were driven back,
however. with frightful losses. Being
unable to bury their dead. the Turks
throw their bodies down the gully un-
til they are stopped by the nature of
the ground, while others thrown after
them are stopped by the first Conse-
quently the whole gully. is choked with
Turkish dead.
THE Australians and New Zealanders
have gained another addition to their
newly occupied territory. In their
narrow position they now have elbow
room and are in touch with our posts
across the plain to Suvla bay. And
what is not the least important advan-
tage they have a supply of fresh water
