phia, Chester and Eddystone will be per-
sonally investigated tomorrow by Chair

moeal Of crossings along the Lincoln

crosses the tracks of the Reading, Lig-
onier Valley and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads. Fatalities occurred yesterday

Gated by the title Social and Economic

scheme, as might be expected, is chron-
illogical; that is, period by period, be-
ginning with early New England Life

chapter on THE South, 1S2O-1S30." which
appears about the middle of the book, TO

Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart. on social
and economic forces I'm their present day
manifestations. The well-deserved repu-
tstion of THE American Nation" leaves
nothing to be said of the merits of the
present volume, except that the bringing
together of this related material in small
compass is itself to be highly COM
mended.

Protest in Case of Wisconsin House
Alleges Bad Faith

George Wanger, an attorney, filed a pc
tition in court at Norristown today seek
ing to prevent the transfer of the license
of the Wisconsin House. In Lower Mer-
ion, from William n. Doble to Thomas
Archer, of Philadelphia. Attorney Wan
ger acted in behalf of those persons who
last spring demonstrated against the ap-
plication of Doble for a license.
They allege no necessity for a license
at the Wisconsin House. but the objec-
tion was not pressed because OF an agree
ment which Dobe and his counsel en-
tered into with Mr.. Taylor that he would
not make application for a license for
the house at the next session of License
Court nor be party to the transfer OF
the license.
II is now alleged that Doble abrogated
that agreement, as shown by his sale of
the property to Archer, present applicant
for license.

vous operations Not a single important
incident occurred"
This supplementary statement was is
sued later:
"Violent combats continue i'm the
Vosges. The Germans pretend to have
recaptured the line of Lingekopf- -Burere-
kopf. In reality they succeeded, after
a very violent attack, in capturing some
trenches they lost on a front of 100 yards,
but the French retained the bulk of their
position.
German papers publishing the French
communique Of August 20 relating the
check suffered by German aeroplanes in
their attempted raid in Paris fasfy 1t
in such a way as to give it an opposite
meaning"
The following communication was is
sued by the War Office last night:
I'm Belgium, replying to a lombard
ment directed against the town of Nieu-
port and the sectors of Steenstraete and
Boesinghe, our artillery brought into play
an efiicacious fire against the bomb
throwers and batteries I'm action and
against the assemblies and parks of the
enemy.
Between the Somme and the Disc our
batteries have silenced the fire of the
German artillery in the environs of Ar
mancourt and Canny.
"A bombardment, intense and recipro-
cal. has taken place on the Aisne front
between Vile Aux Bois and Godat, in
Champagne. and on the western outskirts
Of the Argonne."
LONDON, Sept. 3.-The Belgian War
Office issued the following statement to-
day at HaVre:
THE night and morning were calm
During the afternoon there was a recur-
renee of the enemys artillery action in
the region of RamscapelIe, Pervyse and

piled successfully. There was no infantry
