WYE LA
FRANCE

The fact that Thursday was observ-
I'd the nationah holiday of France
which celebrates the fall of the Bas-
Tile, moved the Philadelphia Ledger to
say:
Something deeper than the old
time gaiety will mark the festival
this year. For the French people are
now fighting against a tyranny quite
IS oppressive as that which they es-
.aped when the Ancient Regime went
% it's doom. Their defeat would mean
The downfall of freedom as we know
It, the end of civilization that gives
the individual full liberty of deve-
opment. That is why at time when
Che scars of the conflict are still
fresh, when the burden of sacrifice
S still heavy, when for so many lives
he light has all but gone out, the
generous sympathy Of Americans
should go out to their brethren across
;he sea. Many of our own youth are
risking their lives for Franco, offer
ing them freely to the greatest cause
or which any nation could fight. We
who stay at home can do no less
pause long enought to breathe an
earnest prayer for the nobler and fin
er France that is coming through
such deep waters of anguish i'm
neasurably enriched and purified by
he heroic devotion Of her sons and
daughters. Tive Ia Franco"

THE SHARK
MENACE

The recent attacks upon bathers
by sharks at coast resorts has caused
considerable alarm to the thousands
who HE themselves to ocean retreats
every summer. The appearance of
these monsters of the deep among
bathers is calculated to produce con-
sternation, and the anxiety has be-
come so great that the United States
Cabinet yesterday discussed ways and
means of obliterating these menaces
to visitors to the seaside.
The japanese peril had long since
been allayed, and friction with Ger
many and Mexico had about been eli
minated, when the government is
called upon to be ready to meet
sharks, the terror of mariners from
the days Of Ulysses and Sindbad the
sailor.
In7the early days of the worlds his
tory men suffered from dreams Of
aquatic creatures: 1t would prove in
! teresting to any one to- read descrlp-
tions of ocean monsters which the
early rroeenitors of the race imagin-
ed inhabited mother ocean. Pictures
of sea serpents are to be found in
antique prints which are calculated
TO drive terror into any human be-
ing: Serpents as long as one of our
squares are represented as raising
j spdden1y alongside an Situated YES;
sci lddeous heads ,sint6 ; the cabin and
prctuding their emerging with q man.
While all these pictures are, OF
course, myths-that is in our day;

TIE ALLIES
OFFENSIVE.

In the great offensive movement
which the allies have begun IN France
and which seems to have made no
table progress yesterday, the grea!
objective, of course is the highways
and railroads lying behind the Ger
man lines and which have enabled
the Teutons to SHIFT their forces
with such facility and to supply the
men in the trenches with food and
ammunition. The Philadelphia Re
cord saws if. the British and French
are able to continue their advance,
cutting first the highway that runs
from Bapaume to Peronne and then
pushing on to the railroads that ira
verse the country from north to
south, they will so endanger the
German position, especially the sal.
lent near scissors, that retirement
will be\ necessary to a line farther
east. This in turn will involve the
withdrawal from large part of Bel
GUM and northern France, unless
the Teutons are prepared to resist
attack from both the west and south.
Compared with the German pro
gress at Verdun, that of the allies.
has been rapid and substantial.
Their losses, while heavy, have prob
ably not been more than they anti
cipated.
While public attention has been
largely focused on these movements
in France and the Russians drive
againt Kovel and Lemberg, Saloniki
begins to loom up as another likely
centre of deep interest. Dispatches
have mentioned the withdrawal by
Austria of troops from Montenegro,
Servia, and Macedonia in order to
strengthen her Galician forces, and
it seems probable that Germany has
taken the same step if she had any
soldiers left in the Balkans. This
has left to Bulgaria the task of fac
ing single-handcd the French, Brit
ish and Servian armies collected at
Saloniki and probably superior in
numbers to those of Gar Ferdinand
If this is the case, and if the allies
have been able properly to equip and
provision these forces so far from
their base of supplies, the date fix
ed for an advance cannot be far dis
tant. Whether the Bulgarians, who
are popularity supposed to be by no
means enthusiastic over their alii-
ance with the Central Powers, could
withstand such an onset must be con-
sidercd doubtful. Especially alarm
ing will be their position if Rumania
threatens to make trouble.
The outlook is one which can hard
ly be pleasing to the German Gen
eral Staff, In the words OF The Col
ogne Zeitung, at would be vain to
hope for mercy if our enemies sue
coed in their plans. There is nothing
left for us but to fight with our
backs to the wall until such victory
be achieved that we can force peace
on our foes" With the initiative now
in the hands of the allies such a vic
tory seems highly improbable. IF
the British and French carry the day
in Picardy their success is likely to
be as decisive as was the triumph of
the Union army at Gettysburg after
two years of our civil war.

BRITISH
OPTIMISM

AS is suggested by contemporary.
David Lloyd George is not Thought
less optimist and he enjoys exception
al oppcrtunities for forming souno
Judgment with regard to the mill
tary situation on the Continent. Wnehi
he declared at the Entente conference
in London that the combined often
sivc of the Allies has wrested the
initiative from the Germans, that,
"we have crossed the watershed ana.
victory is beginning to flow In our
direction" he speaks, not with the
wild extravaganza of Winston Church
i'll. but with certain authority.
Mr.. Lloyd-George, it may be noted,
is careful to qualify his statement ana
TO admit that the task OF the AL
lies is "but half accomplished. he
is evidently persuaded, however, that
the tide has turned very decidedly IN
favor of his side and that there Is
now substantial ground for hope OF
complete victory. His view IS oaseo
not only on the scientific and CO.
.operative campaign on the east ana
west fronts and on the successes az
ready achieved on each, but on tne
fact that both the British and tne
Russian armies are equipped WIFI
guns and munitions as never BEFORE
and that Great Britain is prepared 10
turn out an ever-increasing supply OF
all the material essential to pro-
longed offensive.
British and French army officers
sailing from New York recently TO
rejoin their regiments at the front
declared their firm sonviction that the
war would be over some time this
wear, and that the troops would not
have another winter campaign in the
trenches. Major Walker Leigh, of the
ROYAL Fusiliers, said he believed the
present activity on the western front
combined with the Russian drive, was
the beginning of the end.
81 am now going back to my regi-
ment to take part in what general
conditions point to as the last series
of battles in the great war" said he.
''rhe German people, especially the
Socialists, are beginning to realize
that they cannot defeab Tie Allies
and the longer the war lasts The more
they will suffer financially ard com,
mercia1ly, not to rlcraion the sacri-
fee Of the manhood Of tlcig country

WHOSE AUTHORITY?
Editor Gazette

My attention has been called to an
article in your issue Of Thursday,
July 18TH, signed Robert E. Gron-
au, Chief Fire Department." in which
the public, and particularly myself,
as Chairman of the Fire Committee
of the City Council, was invited to
consider Rule % Of the rules govern
ing the Fire Department, which
reads as follows: "The Chief Engin-
Ger shall be responsible to the Fire
Committee for every thing pertain
ing to the Fire Department. He shall!
be in charge of the men and appara-
tus at all times" Although distaste-
full, I feel that it is a duty to the
public and justice to myself and to
the committee of which | have the
honor of being Chairman, to say that
it is my honest conviction that every
member of the Fire Department,
whether paid or volunteer, or in any
other manner connectcd Herewith,
IS thoroughly familiar with this rule,
and being especially, myself fam
liar with that part of the rule that
provides that the Chief Engineer
shall be responsible to the Fire Com
mittee, it is d matter Of no little sor-
prise to learn that the Chief Engin-
ecr would deliberately put himself
in a position of criticism by publicly
proclaiming his knowledge of the
rule that holds him responsible to
the Fire Committee, and then dclib-
erately attempting to ignore those
responsibilities Under the terms Of
an ordinance passed by the Board
of Aldermen and Common Council
on the 18th day of May 1912, and
approved by Mayor Fred J. Paff,
under date of May 81, 1912, the Fire
Committee was vested with the OK
elusive right and power from time
To time to make suitable regulations
for the, government of the officers
and members of the fire Department
and the property Of the said Depart
ment as it may deem necessary and
proper for control and management
Of the same. 1t was also authoriz-
ed to exercise the authority of the
duties and functions previously vest
ed in the old Board Of Fire Wardcns.
Rule % is not a law, but simply 2
rule formulated by the Fire Commit
tee with the expectation that the
Department would be managed to
the best interests, not only of the
Department but Of the community
as we'll. A majority Of tire present
Committee which is solely charged
with the duty of governing this De,
partment having excellent reasons
to discontinue the authority giver
to the Chief have found it necessary
to revoke the same, to a great ex
tent thereby ,as.lnli 5s ana y aap

A dispatch from Norfolk says that
with a 95-foot channel at mean low
tide from Baltimore to Cape Henry,
the Deutschland would not attempt
to submerge entirely, marine men
saw, until she has passed out into
the Atlantic Ocean where she is al
most certain to encounter British
warships. Outside the capes and
within the 3-milc limit she would
find water 70 feet deep. With Am
rican ships, enforcing the neutrality
laws of the United States, the
Deutschland could proceed up the
coast almost to Martins Vineyard
on the surface within the 3 mile linn
it. The subsea liner could easily go
out the Virginia Capes with her decks
awash and probably escape being
seen until she was in water deep
enough to submerge entirely.
