When they returned to the reviewing station the band struck up the Mar seillaise and while Lord Kitchener and Sir John and the other officers stood at the salute that one civilian figure in this military scene stood un- covered.
 Then with the march past the band playing the airs associated with the regiment whose companies were going by. One officer at the head of his veterans was conspicuous because he saluted with the left hand. His right sleeve was empty. Guardsmen must be tall, and some of the giants were taller than Lord Kitchener him. self A number of the men in the ranks had fought at Mons and on tho Aisne and survived, too, from the first and second battles of Ypres. Others had yet to see battle. Every rifle, every hand that held a rifle. every foot as it was lifted seemed per- fectly in line.
 Still Know How to March.
 The Guards still know how to march past though they have been to war for a year." said a staff officer who had been in the Guards.
 As the last company was going past another kind of music was heard. All the chauffeurs of the party were cranking up their cars. It is we'll known that K wants no time wasted between functions and inspections when he is at the front. A volley of clicks as limousine doors were closed and the two war minis ters who are at the head Of the armies of France and England were away to other scenes. Naturally they also inspected portions of the new army-which the French peasants and villagers all call the keecneen- aires."
 "I had always heard of K as g. grim stern sort of man." said lleu- tenant of the new army. But ne was smiling and genial to us-quite different from what we expected. We were a little frightened when we heard he was going to inspect us.

REGENT REVIEW
 IMPRESSIVE SIGHT
British Army Drawn Up to Re-
 CeiVe Visiting Officials

Correspondence of the Associated Press> Aug. 29.-Officers' who have been through the campaign since it's start aft Mons a year ago speak of the re- cent review of the British troops at the front as one of the most compell- ing scenes they have ever witnessed. The spot was a parade ground not many miles from the trenches. Three battalions of Guards made we'll of khaki which melted into the back ground of sward and hills. At a re- view in England they would have formed a most brilliant display in their gorgeous parade uniforms these famous crack regiments off, cered by some of the sons of the famous families of England. Again and again their ranks had been tbinned and ref1lled. Officers of the old regular army who had come as spectators recognized familiar faces of the survivors among the officers and saw many strange faces who had taken the place of those who had fallen.
 "But the Guards are still the Guards-Scots Or Irish or Grenadiers CT Coldstream," said one of the officers. Lord Kitchener and M. Millerand the French minister of war who were seeing the British front to- eether were to review them. It was the second visit to the front paid by 'K'' as every officer calls him.
 French Holds Reception.
 Sir John French appeared first, walking across the parade ground to the reviewing station, where he well comed Lord Kitchener and M. Mill lerand who arrived in a big limousine. Perhaps there were in all fifty specta- tors, mostly officers stationed in the neighborhood, of scene which had a thrill for all that no review in Eng land watched by big concourse in- cluding gaily dressed women ever had. Not a woman was present, not civilian except the correspondents. A bright sun was shining. Five or six thousand feet overhead a British plane was patrolling the air in a great circle throughout the ceremony.
 AS the secretaries of war of Eng land and France faced the guards their bayonets rose at present arms in CTS khaki made him hardly discern ible against the wall of khaki as the party walked the length of the front ranks in formal inspection. MT. Mill Ierand in his black suit with short

BALDWIN NOT
 TO RUN FOR MAYOR
Ex- Governor Engrossed With Literary Labor-DemOcrats to Select
 Another Candidate.

New Haven, Sept. 9.-On top of the quiet, uncontested primaries of the democratic party yesterday, it was authoritatively given out last night that ex-Governor Simeon E. Baldwin will probably not be formally ap- preached upon the subject of running for mayor on the democratic ticket. The ex-governor has allowed it to be understood, it is said, that he could not accept the nomination if it were rendered him, because he is actively engaged now in work which monop- olizes his time, work of literary

democrats have consistently main- tained that it is time for prospective candidates to decline when they are offered the honor, but in the case of Governor Baldwin the preliminary sounding" was made in a wholly in- formal manner. There is no doubt that there has prevailed within the last few days a strong sentiment for ex-Governor Baldwin's nomination.

Cramp Shipbuilding Bid UP 13

Also Buoyant

Cramp Shipbuilding stock was the
star performer on the local exchange
today. Opening at ia compared with
70 at the close last night the quota
tion was rushed up point at time un-
til It had crossed SO, establishing a new
high record for this present move and
the top price for many years. About 26OO
shares changed hands. The rise was ac-
compllshed with comparatively light buy
ing. and the stock appeared TO be exceed
ingly scarce. 1t was said that the pur-
chasers we're affiliated with the Standard
OH Company 1t was pointed out that the
Standard Oil Company has recently made
a more distinct and separate orEaniza-
tion Of it's transportation department and
has recently approached the Cramp Com
pany with view TO the construction OF
some ships. According to the story, II
would be of advantage to the Standard
oil people to have an interest In the
Crnmp Company in order to obtain early
deliveries. Even if the above report Is
fiction, the fact remains that articles pub
lished in the New York papers describ-
ing the rapid development of the ship
building industry along the Delaware have
attracted the attention of New Workers
to the possibilities of Cramp stock, and
much OF the recent buying has been for

Next I'm point of interest to the gyra~
! tions of Cramp was the sudden uplift
which developed in the Philadelphia Com.

market today. The July earnings of the
