the Comptroller demanded.
An assistant watchdog produced It.

the commission on that day, and that at

The telegram cannot be regarded as

The dramatic struggle" referred to
by the special agent was the battle
staged between Chairman Walsh Of the
Industrial Commission and John D..
Rockefeller over the question OF respon-

press gave columns to the story. but, in

these more than she needs Paris, at

that she can guard them with her

Considering all these factors,

THE PRICE OF WARSAW

For SO many days the world has
expected the fall of Warsaw that
the event itself excites hardly more
interest than a hand-to-hand grapple
in section of. Flanders trenches or
an aeroplane raid upon munitions
storehouses.
Yet the greatest single campaign
thus far of this colossal war has
centered upon the taking Of War
saw. For a whole year it has been
the persistent objective of the Aus
tro-German forces. Three success
sive drives Of vast scope and stu
pendous effort have been made
against it, and, whatever the hold
ing Of the city may mean to one
side or to the other, Warsaw in the
losing by the Russians and in the
winning by the Teuton allies has
cost millions Of men and billions Of
treasure.
The possession of Warsaw, in this
war the possession of any city, may,
in determining the final issue, be Of
no moment at all; but in costing a
large part of the flower of the Ger
man army, sacrificed on the fields
OF Gslicia, Poland, and Russia prop
er, "Warsaw the Sad" must have
multiplied many times the strength
Of the French and British allies in
the west, where shall be determined
the fate of Prussian militarian :.

MISS MARLOWE'S FAREWELL

The announcement that Julia
Msrlowe is not to act again is of
interest to every theatergoer every
where, but especially for Washing
ton, where Miss Marlowe and her
husband, E. H. Sothern, spent the
past winter. The Capital always has
shown special affection for Miss
Marlowe, and this was enhanced by
the opportunity for social contact
with her.
Much in Miss Marlowe's stage
career was peculiarly creditable and
nothing more SO than it's ending, for
it is marked by no trumpeting of a
farewell performance. Miss Marlowe
is not to make a final, supreme ef-
fort to gather in shekels. Her health
is not good, but not so bad that she
might not, if she were possessed OF
a different temperament, try to real.
ize heavily on her retirement.
No one would claim that Miss
Marlowe is equal to the greatest
actresses. In tragedy, usually con,
sidered the channel of expression fo,
the greatest depth of emotion, Miss
Marlowe did not always realize hel
parts. Her Lady Macbeth was moi
so successful as her impersonatior
# the less tragic women of Shakes
peare.
But actresses who profess much
more than Miss Marlowe might
learn much from her, especially tn,
clarity of her voice and her grace o.
movement. One quality that has en-
deared her to her audiences is hel
rare and gracious personality, which
uses SO well with many of Shakes

Messenger Boy In Federal Service
Asks Help To Gain Right To Pro-

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
On September IS. 1909. the President
OF the United States issued an order
limiting the messenger boy examina-
ations to residents Of the District Of
Columbia. and providing that appoint
ments to such positions should be ap-
portoned to the States or Territories
The civil service rules were amended
to provide that such messenger boys
should not be promoted or transferred.
Under this order, messenger boys are
not allowed to be promoted beyond $3.50
per annum. and are not allowed to
take examination for promotion to
higher grades In the Government
service. Therefore there IL no future
for the boys and young men. who are
eager to take examinations for promo
tion to the grade Of messenger, skilled
laborer or clerk. but arc prohibited
from doing so. They have no Congress-
man to act for them or to endeavor to
have the President modify the order 80
az to allow them to take examinations
for promotion. They much get out Of the

AMERICAN ARMS ABROAD

This statement the other day by
the Wall Street Journal dealing with
the capacity of the Bethlehem Steel
Company has other than industrial
interest:
For several years before the war
from 60 per cent to 70 per cent Of its
ordnance output to Germany. This
ordnance has helped the Germans to
oatter down the supposed impreg-
Russians from Warsaw and block
the progress Of the allies in general.
In the matter Of the protest
against shipment of arms from the
United States to the allies most Of
US have been satisfied with the reply
that the trade is permissible under
international law; that we would
sell to one side as quickly as to the
other, and that our national interests
prohibit us from establishing a prec-
edent which would work SO grave a
hardship upon US if we ourselves
should become engaged in war.
Any American who thinks further
ahead than the present war antici.
pates hard fight in this country
for reasonable preparedness for
eventualities. The probabilities are
that we shall still trust largely to
luck to keep us out of trouble. If il
should come, we should be forced to
seek elsewhere, at least in the be-
ginning of war, for guns and SUP.
plies.
The argument of self-preservation
ought to satisfy the most tender
conscience of the propriety of our
present policy. But leaving aside
the question of our own vital inter.
ests, with what fairness can it be
contended that country which has
taken nearly three-fourths of the
output of our largest manufacturer
of guns and ammunition and made
ready for this very European war
which was not precipitated until
hat country was fully prepared
has cause for grievance against us
for now selling to it's enemies?
The protest has no standing ir
law, in morals, or in common sense
