OPINION OF EwERrs.

On1yswhat might be expected is,con-
tanned in the statements which have
been made by headsof steamship@com-
panfes FIN reply to a request from the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States for an expression of their
views upon the ,seanen's act and its
effect They must be rated asTexperts
in that matter and it is to be noted
with a great deal of respect for men
in their capacity that they are unani-
nous in declaring that the legislation
which was passed by the last con-
gress is not only detrimental to the
steamship interests, but It is against
the welfare OF the country. Their
opinions are not given haphazard. Ma
tures thought has been given to the
problem which confronts them and
they know whereof they ispeak. It is
not theory with which they shave
to deal. .. Theysface the cold facts. It
may be ideal to put into operation
sucht Tequfregnentsxas are called for by
the La Toilette legislation, but it Is
not practical. Consideration has not
been given to the obstacles whichsmust
be encountered and these are what
have been carefully weighed by&those
who are affected.
When Robert G.. Dollar, who has
already disposed of some of hisasteam-
ers in common with others in antici-
patton OF the new law, declares that
I'm the last session Of congress is
bills were introduced to $restrict and
restrain the operation of ships, but not
a single,bil1 to aid or3assist u.s. there
is good ground for the feeling that
there is need for an effort to be made
to prevent ANY future b1under like the
seamen's act, the only result of which
is to drive the last American ship from
the ocean" No consistent stand can
ever be taken in behalf of a bigger
merchant marine as long as such9leg-
islation is permitted to remain in
force. =

TIE GERMAN DRIVE.

y Whether or not Germany is max
ing its last great effort In realization
of the fact that it must be done now
or never. it cannot be denied that it
is making much progress in its cam
paign against Russia Against that
country the Teutonic forces are wag-
ing q stiff fight, which may or may
not lead up to 8, decisive victory.
Ever since Russia took Przemys1
ana pushed into the Carpathians only
to meet with reverses, it has been
steadily driven backward. It has been
unable to check the German onslaught
and even now it is impossible to tell
where 1t is going to stop. BY the cap
ture of the Ga1ician capital Russia was
greatly elated and it apparently over
looked its equipment and ammunition
resources in the sudden move that
result Of that oversight it now finds
itself not only on the defensive, but
on Nle run with it's handicaps still
making it impossible to make a sue
cessful stand. The loss of important
points in quick succession shows the
strength that Germany has massed for
its blow in that direction. Russia
is not being given the opportunity to
recover from it's plight. Its weakness
is realized and every advantage is be-
ing taken of it with the result that
the abandonment of Warsaws and Po-
land is indicated.
This must naturally be viewed by
the allies as a distressing situation
but Jif reports are true Russia is In
no worse a4box because of ammunition
shortage than Turkey, and as long as
| it continues to retreat in good form
until it can again get onto its feet ii
| has a chance to redeem itself. When
that will be is most uncertain, but its
experience emphasizes the importance
of4the slow but sure campaign which
Italy is conducting.

STORIES OF THE WAR

but nevertheless subtly inaccurate.
Today there is none of that. The mem
DRY of the events from the thirty-first
Of August to the fourth Of September,
1914, is still too living, too real
At the station, albeit tourists as yet
are infrequent-for Senlis is in the
zone of the armies-there is a group
Of small boys with unexploded shells
under their arms and pockets full of
rifle bullets, f1attened against the
cathedral wall, to sell as souvenirs.
1t is a shock to realize by actually
seeing that the Germans really were
so close to Paris as Senlis. The
greater part of the Parisians them
selves will not believe it--frankly do
not believe it even yet When the war
bit. they have a number Of shocks in
store for them--rot the least of which
will be administered in Senlis.
For 1t is one thing to read about the
destruction of property, the burning
of houses, and all the rest of the hid
eous history with which this war is
individually stained--in Belgium; Bel
GUM to the average Partisan seems
very far away. It is quite another mat
ter. not to read about, but to go and
see it-see the burned buildings, the
battered cathedral and the looted
houses, so close to Paris.
The tourist i'm general will find the
greatest interest in the wrecked and
burned houses to be met at every turn.
Like Lille and Louvain, and so many
hundreds of towns and cities in France
and Belgium, the greater part of the
destruction of Senlis was due, not so
much to bombardment as to the in
cendiary bombs with which the in
vading troops were supplied. House
after house is a mass of twisted iron
and heaped debris, the wreckage, not
Of artillery, but of fire. The cathedral,
an edif1ce dating from the twelfth
century, Of the lightest gothic beauty
Of line and form, bears the scars es-
pectally Of infantry fire, which has
made its walls resemble a piece of old
wood furniture, in which myriads OF
worms have bored their holes.
The ruined houses of Senlis will be
dral will serve to cover its wounds
But the humble, final testimony of the
century will remain to recall the tragic
days of 1914. Here there is a long row
of graves, each marked by a wooden
cross, the whole surrounded by a black
painted wooden fence, as if to set them
apart as something little more sacred
than the rest. Each grave has its
crowns of bead-worlk immortelles
each its vase of fresh flowers. renewed
from day to day, though few Of those
buried in this strange earth are OF
Senlis. Indeed, there are quite g
number of crosses upon which appears
the significant legend:
Here lies a soldier of the til
Rihemen. Unidentified" Nor are
these graves the least well kept. Each
has its vase of fresh cut lilies; above
the breast of each unknown, some
gentle hand has planted q tiny bay
| tree that already is growing hardly.

ooh, my DEAR" cried the woman
whose costume included q skirt which
just reached her shoe tops and very
light tan spats. I've kept you waiting
perfectly interrninable time. and
know you must be absolutely wild at
me!
"oh. honey, you're sweet to say it.
but I know how you must really feel
kept waiting. and I'm sure that I
don't know any reason why other
people shouldn't feel the same way,
though know you'd forgive me II you
knew what a time I've been having.
''Why, at the dressnaker's, of
course. I'm always going to the dress
makers. 1t seems to me that I never
stop for q minute, and then I never
have anything ut to wear. And these
dressrnakers! They simply-but I'm
not going to talk about them. I SIM

costume included a skirt which just
reached her shoe tops. Il want to take
you to see my very own picture. That's
what call it, don't you know, because
I'm SO crazy about 1t. I always go
to see it the very first thing. OF course
I'm crazy about all the pictures, be-
cause I'm perfectly frantic about art,
anyway, but I'm more than wildly de-
voted to this particular one.
Now. where is it? I certainly
thought it was right over in this COR
ner. but I hardly know what I'm doing.
My dear, IL you only knew what a
time I had with that woman. She'd
really got the dress so it was lovely
and I was absolutely satisfied with it
but I won't think about it; I simply
will not!
We'll, it certainly is the strangest
thing that I can't find that picture.
