NEED OF
 INLAND WATERWAYS
Pointed Out by Secretary Daniels and
 Admiral Benson.

Philadelphia, Sept 15.-The impera- tive need of a great system of inland waterways and coastal canals which in addition to providing commercial ad- Vantages, would be of inestina ble mil itary value in time of war, was point ed out by Secretary Daniels of the navy department and Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations, in addresses before the members of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association at the Philadelphia navy yard today The ability of submarines to traverse these inland canals and of battleships to find a haven there in case of invasion was cited by both, speakers as one of the greatest arguments in favor of the es tabI1shment of the system.
 Secretary Daniels promised the dele gates the earnest and enthusiastic co operation of the navy department in any practical plan looking to the inn provement of the inland waterways along the coast, while Admiral Benson declared the value of such a system rom both an economic and military point Of view was sufficient to Justify a bond issue to help pay the cost of construction. While MT Daniels was speaking a hydroaeroplane flew up the river. Noticing it, he said:
 I can never be happy unless we have at least ten aeroplanes to each battleship"

A coNsTARULARY FORGE
 FOR BORDER DUTY
Discussed at Session of American
 Mexican Joint Commission.

New London, Conn. Sept. 15. = A suggestion that the Mexican govern ment create a. conStabulary force for border duty similar to the rurales of the Diaz regime was made today dur ing the brief session of the American Mexican joint commission in conclud- ing the second week of it's delibera- tions. Apparently the plan for a joint police force previously discussed was abandoned as unkorlzable after the commissioners had conferred at length with Major General Tasker H. Bliss. assistant chief of staff of the United States army.
 The three Mexican commissioners left for New York tonight to join in the celebration of the Mexican Ma tionaI holiday there tomorrow which has been arranged by consular off, cials Dr. John R. Mott of the Ameri- can commission is absent on personal business, but his associates, Secretary Lane and Judge Gray, are here de- voting much time to study of tele graphic reports from the border and the interior of Mexico, transmitted from the state and war departments.
 General Bliss. it was learned tonight made to the joint commission today a dispa ssionate statement of the Situa- ton which would result if General Pershing's forces were withdrawn from Mexico before a properly consti- tuted constabulary had been created to relieve them. He explained the military situation along the border can forces now in the border region as it is known to the war department. It is understood he pointed out the problems that would arise if an effort to create a border police under dual authority were undertaken.

New York, Sept. 15.-Action on the question of . sympathetic strike of 10000 workers in trades closely aff1l- lated with the operation of New York's traction lines was expected to be talk en within a few hours. A referendum has been in progress among many of the crafts for several days and it was said the complete vote would be an- nounced soon, possibly tonight. If the strike is authorized, union leaders pre- dict, it will be the most effective blow that could be dealt in the strike which has been in progress since Sept. $ oD the elevated. subway and surface transportation lines of the city.
 The only craft upon which figures figures were available tonight was the machinists and it was said that the vote in that trade showed about 70 per cent. of the membership fav- bring a sympathetic strike.
 Union leaders attach much import ance to the action of the machinists, most of whom are employed in plants manufacturing munitions of war for the entente allies.
 The effect of the strike in that trade they say, would be direct blow at the Morgan interests, the largest holders of stock in the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. J. P. Morgan and Company are the fiscal agents of the British government in this country.
 Several persons were injured, none of them seriously, in two traction ac- a rear end collision between two trains on the Third Avenue Elevated line d short distance from the Fifty ninth Street station. Passengers were hurl- led from their seats and many suf- fered severe injuries. Downtown

Smashing the German line on a front of six miles north of the Somme, in France, the British forces have made probably the most notable ad- vance since the Anglo French offen- sive began July 1.
 Three towns, two woods and the possession of nearly all the high ground between Combles and the Pozieres- Bapaume road fell to the British. Not only did the Germans lose these points, but the British drive imperiIs the Combles and Thiepval positions, at either end of the British front. The gaining of the high ground north of Combles gives the British command of the approaches to Bapaume.
 The advance on the northern end of the front was for a distance of two miles. Courcelette, east of Thiepval road and Martinpuich south of the road, fell into the hands of General Haig's men. Farther south they took Fers and the High Wood. making se- cure their possession of Ginchy. The Bou1eaux Wood. north of Combles. al- so was lost to the Germans.
 The Germans under Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria fought stub- bornly to hold their ground, London says, and the fighting was severe all along the line. More than 2,30O pris- oners were taken by the British.
 <NIdAIlS LIlS IoLlLlSll III lHe eIClTCIe- ment of Combles, the French have taken additional trenches north of Le Priez farm. South of the river three German trenches near Berny-en San terre were taken by the French who also C1ptured 200 prisoners
 Berlin claims the repulse of British attacks southeast of Thiepval and of French efforts between Rancourt and the Son&e. The official statement admits the loss of Le Priez farm, west of Ran6ourt
 Tn northern Macedonia the British, French and Serbian armies have gained additional successes. breaking down the Bulgarian defense in the center and on the left wing French troops took Bulgarian positions a half mile deeTt on a front of one mile West of Lake Ostrovo the Serbians captur- ed Malkanidze. The British attacked west of the Vardar and also gained ground
 Unoficially, it is reported the Bull garians retreated twelve miles in front of the entente rush and Athens reports the abandonment of Kastoria by the Bulgarians. Berlin says en- tente attacks in the Moglenica sector and east of the Vardar were repulsed.

traffic was held up more than an hour as a result of the accident.
 Two trolley cars were in collision in The Bronx and four persons, one a patrolman on strike duty, were in- iured It is said the cars were being operated by strikebreakers.
 Although surface car service was much improved over that of previous days. subway and elevated traains were more crowded today than at any time since the strike was called. This was explained in part by rain during the late afternoon, which sent many pedestrians to the transportation lines.
 Crowds swarmed the elevated rail- way platforms and one station was closed for a time until the trains bear away the people already inside the gates. Several women tainted in the crush and many persons suffer ed minor bruises in the scramble to were called to handle the crowds in many instances. Transfer points on surface lines were scenes of great congestion during the evening rush hours.
 The public service commission end ed inquiry into the strike today. A statement issued with regard to the situation on the Third Avenue Rail- road lines said there was no evidence of bad faith on the part of the cpart of the company or any indication that it was the companys intention to vii olate the agreement of August T which ended the former surface car strike The commission added that it did find evidence of suspicion on the part of the men
 "The strike should be called off at once and the agreement of August ' should be lived up to in letter and spirit" the statement concluded.

EXPLOSION OF VAST AMOUNT
 OF SMOkELESS POWDER
Nineteen Workmen Burned in Dupont Powder Plant at Carneys Point, N. J.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. I5.-Nine- teen powder workers were burned at least six of them seriously. by the ex- plosion of several thousand pounds of smokeless powder at the plant of the Dupont Powder company at Carney's Point N. J., tonight.
 The flames originated in a, blending tower in what is called the f1nishing area and while the company has not established the cause, the opinion is advanced that piece of metal may have found its way into the powder which was being worked through the tower.
 Following the first big flare which lighted up the country for miles around, there were several smaller ones as fresh bins of powder in the tower became ignited
 All the worknen were in the blend ing tower but when a small sheet of flame shot up all made their escape through the safety chutes. They were burned while fleeing from the building. The tower was destroyed in a few minutes.
