Moving Toward Bapaume.

Late developments of the Somme cam
paign suggest that the next definite oh
jective of the allied drive is Ba paume,
and that the present endeavor is to
draw a circle around it as was done in
the case of Combles, though on larger
scale. The British have pressed for
ward on the Albert Bapaume road, TAX
ing LIE Sars, while the French have
pressed out from Morval and Rancourt
to take Sally .saillisel. LIE Sars is about
four miles southwest of Bapaume, while
Sailly-Saillisel is about six miles While
this does not yet constitute an encircling
movement it evinces disposition on the
part of the French to move against
Bapaume rather than Pcronne Indeed,
Peronue's value to the Germans is now
practically destroyed, as it is 50 directly
under the fire of the allied artillery
that it cannot be used as base of op-
erations or distributing point for sup
plies. Its capture would be merely a
territorial and not strategic gain.
Bapaume, on the other hand, is stnl Of

strategic importance in that it serves as
base and distributing center for :
long range Of front, and its capture or
isolation by a close drawing Of the
lines as at Peronne would seriously af-
feet the German positions south OF
Arras. Further advances by the allied
forces are to be now looked for, as the
period of preparation has evidently
passed, and the advance to the neigh
borhood of Sally -Saiaisel and the cap
ture of LIE Sars were evidently only parts
of a general movement. AS the British
advance up the Albert-Bapaume road
they are leaving another salient behind
them, generally following the valley of
the Ancre. 1t is evidently not the in
tention of the British to ascend that val
ley, which is of a marshy character, but
to allow the Germans to occupy it until
the British line is carried still farther
north, when the German position in this
salient will have become extremely
hazardous, subject to pressure from the
north. The evacuation of this Ancre
region by the Germans to avoid whole
sale capture is not improbable If the
British advance continues, and it would
yield territorial gain greater than any
accomplished since the big drive began.

Two Great Ball Games.

Defeated, but not disgraced, in two
games in Boston, the Brooklyn cham
pionship base ball team now moves to its
home grounds for the next two rounds
of the great world title match, in which
it hopes to regain the ground it has
lost and reach even terms with the foe.
The games in Boston were remarkable
in their closeness and the possibility
which each offered for a reversal of the
verdict. The first game was one OF
alternating surprises, an eighth inning
rally by Boston giving that team an ap-
parently commanding lead, followed
quickly by ninth inning rally by Brook
lyn that came within a narrow mar
gin of victory. Yesterdays game was
of different character, the two teams
early scoring one run each, and clinging
to this tie desperately, with many op-
portunities to score that were cut off
by brilliant fielding, until the four
teenth, the longest point ever reached
in world series game, when pinch
hitter" delivered the necessary blow to
send the winning run across the plate
by a fraction of a second. Big crowds
witnessed both games. There is evil
IDENTIFY no diminution of public interest
in the sport.

Parties and Party Names.

A new party will shortly be launched.
At any rate, there is such an announce
ment. As soon as the present campaign
ends the necessary measures will be
taken. The movement does not depend
on next months result Whether there
is republican or democratic success, it
will not retard the purpose now in view.
1t is the old story. Both of the old
parties are in the clutches of the sin
terests" If the country's affairs are
to be conducted properly and for the
general good they must be committed to
new men carrying out new program.
So let all really free and forwardiook-
ing men come together and get ready for
concerted action in 1920.
The two old parties are hardy. In
1860 the democratic party divided in the
face of the enemy, lost the election of
that year, and did not regain full con-
troll of the country for quarter of a
century. But, though in retirement ma
tionally considered, it did not die. 1t
survived green backism, populism and
free siiyerism, and finally came back in
1913, profting by the folly Of it's ad-
versary. A very hardy organization is
the democracy.
In 1912 the republican party divided
in the face of the enemy, and lost the
election. The faction using the old
name polled a smaller vote than the one
using the new name. The bull moose
party, encouraged by the poll, declared
that it had come to stay; that the re-
publican party as national organiza-
| ton was done for; that the next trial
| of conclusions would be between it, the
bull moose party, and the democracy.
The time is at hand; but, contrary
to the bull moose prediction, the repub-
iiicau party has come back. Bull moosery
as a national force has disappeared. 1t
is the republican party which confronts
the democracy, and shows within its
| ranks the great majority Of those who
left it four years ago. The faction that
retained the old name won out IN the
faction contest, and preserved the old
name for further use.
Both the old parties will survive, come
what may next month. The names are not
only expressive, but are associated with
| much inspiring history. Each awakens
! memories which endear it to those who
train under it. New parties may spring
up, and recruit in measure from the
| discontented here and there. But the
merely discontented will not control
| We shall see in 1920 another contest
waped in its leading feature between
two forces rallying under the two lead
ing banners now unfurled.

The Senate.

An organization calling itself "The
National Voters League" has issued a
denunciation of the Senate. ~ In the
last ten years that body has deteriorated
in ability, and is now on low intel
1ectual plane. (2j II knows only poll
ties, and plays only politics (3) PORK
is king" there
This sort of thing has been leveled
at the Senate times out of number. There
have always been persons who seemed
TO make speciality of it, though they
have never made any headway with it
No difficulty has ever been experienced
in refuting 50 cheap charge. Nothing
more has ever been necessary than to
quote the actual facts.
Today the facts overwhelm the Sen.
ate's traducers. Surely body which in:
cludes in its membership such men al
Lodge, Gallinger, Borah, Cummins and
Townsend on the one side, and O'Gor
man, Underwood. Simmons, Culberson
and Bankhead, and, until the other day
Clarke of Arkansas, on the other side il
entitled to the respect of all thoughtful
persons. The Senate has its share of the
ablest men in our public life.
The Senate plays politics as the Hous.
does, and as both perforee must do. Con
gress is political body, dealing con
stantly with political questions. Wher
the Senate ceases to play politics it will
cease to perform its proper functions

Take politics out of Congress and there

Take politics out of Congress and there
would be nothing left.
"Pork" king in the senatea Why, the
only blows of consequence "pork" has
received in the past twenty years have
been delivered in the Senate. 1t was
senator-Mr Carter of Montana-who
talked bloated river and harbor bill to
death. 1t was a senator-Mr. Burton
of Ohio-who only few years ago
forced reduction of over half in an
other overloaded river and harbor bill +;
and it was in the Senate that resistance,
though Intellectual, was made to the lat
est river and harbor bill. His majesty,
the Pork, does not love, and has no rea-
son to love, the Senate.
The country has always owed much
to the Senate; and the debt was never
greater than now. 1t is the body of
open and untrammeled debate. 1t has
repeatedly refused to be muzzled. Real
cIoture is rejected as often as proposed.
The result has been, and is, the cor
rection of many House measures de-
fective because of hasty construction and
hastier processes of House passage. But
for the Senate the new tariff law would
be much more unsatisfactory law than
it is; and but for the Senate the ship
purchase bill, which finally became a
law, would have carried very strong So
cialistic features
Abusing the Senate is popular, but
idle. patter 1t accomplishes nothing
but to attract attention to the meager in
formation on the subject of those who
indulge in it.

New Submarine Problems.

The operations of the German war
submarine just off the American coast
involve embarrassing questions for
which there is apparently no distinct
and specific answer. These questions,
however, are similar to those which have
prevailed since the beginning of the war,
and especially since assumption of sub
marine belligerency by Germany. Up
to the appearance of the U-53 at New
port Saturday the United States had
reached the plane of provisional adjust
ment which, while not perfectly salts
factory, was doubtless the best that
could be attained pending hostilities.
1t had secured from Germany an agree
ment that merchant ships not resisting
should be given sufficient warning be-
fore destruction to permit the escape of
passengers and crew. 1t had granted to
the allies as its conception of sound
provisional international law the right
to arm merchantmen for defensive pur-
poses which, though highly destructive
of submarines, still did not deprive them
of the right of warning before attack.
Now comes the question whether
submarine warcraft, capable of destroy
ing shipping or other war vessels, is en-
titled to enter neutral harbor and re-
main for the prescribed twenty-four
hours or any part of that period and
then leave for d station just outside the
three-mile limit. from which it may
strike at shipping. 1t is disclosed that
recently the allied governments ad-
dressed memorandum to all neutral
powers asking that submarines be ex-
ciuded from their ports on the ground
of the difficulty of applying to them the
usual rules of observation. 1t does not
appear that the United States has re-
piled to this memorandum, which, how
ever, was not in the nature of a demand.
Obviously new laws are necessary to
regulate the use of submarine warcraft.
There should be an agreement upon an
equitable regulation to fit the case of
this new war machine. This cannot be
done while the powers are fighting.
Each has an advantage which it is un
willing to forego. Recently the United
States addressed note to Germany and
England asking for an agreement as to
armed ships, but the latter preferred
to hold matters as they are, permitting
the arming of merchantmen for defense
with guns that might destroy subma
rine. Obviously Great Britain cannot
at this juncture claim the protection of
the old international law as to warning,
armament, etc, and at the same time
demand a waiver of the law as to the
right of warcraft to enter a neutral
port for twenty-four hours.
The task of the United States govern
ment is at this juncturc to make sure
that the warning requirement is strictly
observed. and that the American ports
are not used as bases of operation by
submarines against commerce. If a
mother ship or tender is supplying the
German submarine off the American
coast, beyond the international limit,
that fact is for the British or French
to discover If that mother craft is US
ing or later uses an American port as
a base the duty would rest with the
United States to prevent such viola
tion of neutrality.

NO COMPENSATION
 IN FEEGEL CASE
Wife Must Support Self and Babe
 by Own Efforts

New Haven, Aug. Alone of the most interesting cases that Compensa- tion Commissioner Beers has ever been called on to decide was determined yesterday with the dismissal of the claim of Mrs. Anna Louise Feegel of Mer1den, who asked compensation for the death of her husband Martin J. Feegel which occurred on June 24, as the result of a gasoline explosion in the garage of Runge & Sons in Mer- iden.
 The case was very peculiar one involving the question whether a man is working for his employer when he turns aside to assist some one else working on machine in the same es- tabl1shment. Runge was asked by one Carl smith to pour some gaso- line into car on which the latter was working, and while doing so, an explosion occurred which resulted in the death of Feegel In an interesting memorandum attached to the decision dismissing the olaim the compensa>- ton commissioner says:
 "The death of worker while in the course of doing a kindness IS pathetic. It cannot however, in this case result in legal liability to com pensat1on. The thanks of MT. Smith were due to MT. FeegeI for his kindly act and would no doubt have been ex- pressed had 1t not been for the tragedy which followed No s,1ch thanks were due to the respondents and no one was under any legal or moral obligation to them because of the performance of the act The a ct ot MT. Feegel was a personal one and as he was entitled to the appreci,- ton or the one benefited, it's unfore- seen and unfortunate results must fall on him and those identified with him.
 Tt was in fact accidental that Mr. FeeSel happened to bs working upon the truck when asked to do the favor. The same request would doubtless have been made had he been passing along the street or had he stopped on an errand. The request was made or him acting in his personal capacity.
 The claim must therefore be dis missed'
 What makes the case unusually pathetic is that at the time of the ac- cldent Feegel was the only support of his wife, who is now left with a five weeks old baby to support The case, according to Commissioner Beers is one of the most novel that has ever come under him for dec1- sion.
 nor a fellow employe of Feegel.
