London, July 24.-The Argonne and
the Vosges are still the scenes of
severe fighting in the West. The ac-
counts from the opposing sides are
contradictory as ever, but it would
appear that the French are the az
gressors in the Vosges and have made
some progress and the Germans have
offset this by partially successful
offensive in the Argonne. A short

the Gallipoli peninsula indicates that
the engagements have favored the

tumn. Such days have been observed
in other cities and have yielded good
results in the arousal of keener in

Nelson w. Aldrich.

Mr.. Aldrich shared the fate OF all

praise and blame But however much
men differed about his performances
some rating them as of great bene-
fit, others as of injury, to the poo

ion as to the superior ability and
masterful force of the man. In what
we esteem the most august leglsla-

interests of the most powerful re-
public in the world, he led, and
among his followers were many of
the ablest Americans of his genera

He was the business man in poll
tics who had carefully qualified for
the field. He took his duties seri-

with all his might. He mastered the
subjects to which he addressed him

within his range, and he became a
legislative authority as to both. He
shaped important legislation as to
both. He influenced both sides of
the chamber when either of those
subjects occupied attention.

lawyer; Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, a
skillful negotiator, and Mr.. Harris
of Tennessee, one of the ablest par
liamentarians in the Senate, and held
his own by reason OF his thorough
knowledge of the whole question of
tariff schedules and duties. His fenc-
ings were admired even by his op-
ponents; and he won many points.
The tariff fight of 1909 tested his
ability as a negotiator. A number of
republican senators opposed his
views as to the Payne bill, and voted
against it as amended under his
leadership on the final roll call. But
he passed it.
| Both the usefulness and the per-
sonal happiness Of Mr.. Aldrich were
increased by the fact that he never
aspired to the presidency. The
famous bee that was disquieting SC

life of idleness, beckoned, and he

that the valuation is inadequate in

ascertain how far the courts can and

is there a question as to the right
OF the corporation to ask that thi:
valuation be reviewed. But the
courts must settle the degree of Judi

that they will conhne their super.
