A 2,500-MILE ~BATTLE-LINE

Since the entrance of Bulgaria into
the war the battlefront is fast taking
form as a gigantic loop hung from
Riga and Newport across all Europe.
The Belgian-French line runs un-
broken from the channel to the Swiss
border. Beginning again near the
Ortler, the Italians carry it mainly
on m~ountain-tops and passes to the
Adriatic. Naval patrols keep guard
to Antivari, whence Montenegrins,
Serbs, French and English in success
sion swing it north about Montene-
gro, then south through Serbia to
Strumitza. If landings are made at
kavala and Enos, this line will be
practically continuous to Gallipoli;
at sea it is continuous now.
British submarines have interrupt
ed traffic in the Hel1espont, and Rus
sian ships guard the Black Sea. From
Rumania north to Riga runs the Rus
sian line, much shortened since War
saw fell, but still more than 300 miles
in length. The land lines of trench
and mine and daily conflict and con-
cealed artillery, with their winnings,
will alone extend more than $500
if the gap north of Kavala is

WHY MEN GO BUGS

Shorter skirts, Paris rules; so the
eastern faddists are finding many
things to cover the space that inter
venes between the skirt hem and the
floor. Dorothy Newell thought OF
this one. 1--WE wear corsage at the
waist; why not bouquets at the
ankle?" pondered Dorothr; and with
Dorothy, to ponder is to act. They
say all the swell florists in New York
are taking lessons in how TO kneel-
with grace. Roses, sweet peas, and
the smaller chrysanthemums are the
tavorite ankle adornments.

presently filled, as expected.
Every conflict in this mighty dis
lance is for railroad lines: In France,
for the network serving Lille and Sc
dan or threatening Verdun; in the
Austrian mountains, for the key
points, Toblach, Villach, Goritz; in
Serbia, for the Belgrade-C Constantine
pie line; in Russia, chiefly for that
connecting Riga and Dunaburg.. The
advantage of interior lines is with the
kaiser. Within a few days he can
probably send a through train from
Ostend to Constantinople. He can
send one now from Windau to the
Gates of the Danube.
For the Allies, the loop cuts the
Central Powers off from every sea
except in respect to submarines, and
from every great food source of the
world. l.

ONLY N ISSUE

Mr.. Taft is mistaken when he says
that the tariff will be the main issue
in 1916.
The main issue in that campaign
has already been defined by Presi-
dent Wilson in two words-"Ameri-
ca first"
Until that question is definitely set
tied, says the New York World, no
other issue is important. This coun-
try must determine once and for all
whether in its national aspirations.
ideals and sympathies it is to be all
American or half alien.
The German vote has forced this
issue, and the American vote will
have to decide it.
In the Twenty-third congression-
al district of New York we have seen
the German voters combine against a
candidate for congress for no other
reason than that he belonged % the
same political party as the president
of the United States. In Brooklyn,
John ]. fitzgerald, one of the ablest
men in congress, was defeated for
the office of justice Of the Supreme
court by German voters who secret
ly organized against him to rebuke
the president for unfolding inter
nation law and American rights.
German newspapers, both in Ger
many and the United States, have
boosted that the elections of Novem-
Der I'd were, as the Berlin Morgen-
post expresses it, "a heavy moral de-
feat for the president" because Of his
refusal to make the United States. a
vassal of the German empire.
This German conspiracy extends
not only to the president and his
party, but it extends to American in
dustry, American finance and to the
fundamental institutions of the Amer
lean people. This conspiracy works
not only through the ballot, but
through the torch and the bomb and
the bullet. 1t is the most sinister
phenomenon that has appeared in
life since the death of slav-
cry and secession, and until it is dis
posed OF no man car be sure that the
great republic is more than a hollow
shell.
Mr.. Taft has given to the country
a splendid and inspiring example of
disinterested patriotism in his sup
OF the presidents foreign policy
since the beginning of the war. It is
ipon men like Mr.. Taft that the coun-
ny must depend if this new Copper
is finally crushed and tramp
under the foot of true American
But until this is done, how triv-
al are questions Of tariff or trusts or .
operations, how trivial are all the :
'sues upon which this generation OF :
voters have hitherto been :
ccustomed to divide! =

MEN WHO ARE ASSETS

We always admire the man who
speaks well of this town., and his
neighbors, and his friends, and who
is slow to speak i'll of other people.
We of today are so prone to speak
hastily and without thought of conse-
quences that it is a relief to find one
occasionally who considers the effect
OF his words before they are uttered.
Such men are nor than an asset to
any town.

Richmond bankers have no desire

said Attorney George Bryan, counsel
for the Richmond Clearing House AS
ISOLATION, last night, speaking of the
meeting of members of the associa-
ton held yesterday afternoon for dis
cussion of the opinion handed Tues
day night by Attorney General Pollard
to the State Advisory Tax Board.
Mr.. Pollard held in his opinion that
the State and national banks In the
State are required to disclose to State
tax officials lists OF their depositorsi
and deposits carried under time"
and interest deposit headings. I'M
some qua rters It was regarded as like
ly that the banks would resist such
construction of the law and the out
come of the local Clearing House
meeting was awaited with interest.
No Action Taken.
At the conclusion Of the meeting
yesterday it was said that the opinion
had been discussed. but that no action
had been taken. A meeting to be held
within a few days will again take up
the matter, II Is said, and 1t Is prob
able that statement OF the position
of the banks affiliated with the Clear
ing House Association will be made at
that time. That the association will
not put itself in the position of oppos-
Ing the law as construed by the at
torney general is understood 1t is
expected that the banks Of the city
will place themselves in a sympathetic
attitude and will cooperate with the
State.
In some quarters the opinion Of the
attorney general giving the State the
right 10 learn what sums depositors
have in the banks was the subject of
criticism yesterday Local banks,
however. agreed they would not dis
c,hss for publication, the attorney gen.
erals opinion.
Fear "OId Sock" Deposits
Some of the argument in adversely
criticisinx the opinion is that the
opening OF the banks books of de-
some of the savings from the banks
and that the money will go into old
socks" and other secret places.
On the other hand 1t is declared by
busin ess men that such course will not
be followed. They point out the value
of the one feature Of safety alone
which has brought savings into the
vaults of the hanks. They also point
TO the fact thar the interest paid by
banks on time and savings accounts Is
far in excess of the small tax levied
on money-2o cents on 500. II is
further argued that the rate was re-
duced in 1914 from sl.76 to 90 cents
per 800. the contention was advanced
by bankers that the State revenue
would he increased by the lower rate
on money. because the new rate could
not be regarded as excessive.
Recently declaration was made that
the State had not the authority to call
upon national banks to disclose their
deposits. The declaration was not
based on fact, as the United States
Supreme Court has ruled that the
State does have authority over national
banks. within its borders, as we'll as
over State banks.
