British Prepare For Drive.

Notwithstanding the threat of Pre-
mier Kerensky that a policy of blood
and iron" is to be applied without re-
straint against the seditious Russian
troops in East Galicia, whose disaffec-
ton has made null almost all the bril-
liant personal leadership early In the
month, the Russians continue their
retirement, virtually pell nell, before
the German and Austro-H Hungarian
armies. From the wooded Carpath-
ians to the region of Tarnopol the
forces of General Kornilhoff almost
everywhere are in disorderly retreat,
hardly anywhere making an attempt
to hold back the on-coming enemy.
Already the losses of the Russians
in men killed, wounded and made
prisoners, and in guns and stores cap
tured, are extremely heavy and these
undoubtedly will become greater un.
less the hoped for s~tiffening in the
morale Of the Russians is realized
soon.
The Germans having ceased their
violent infantry attacks against the
French troops along the Chemin-Des-
Danes in France, General Petain's
forces have assumed the initiative
and have retaken the small advan-
tages gained in terrain during weeks
Of tenacious assaults. The lost ground
on the California plateau and the
Classmates plateau has all been recap.
tured and the French, in spite of
vicious counter-attacks, by tried regi-
ments OF the German crown prince,
have even pushed their line forward
at several points in the latter region.
The artillery battle in northern Bel
GUM, which has been in progress for
some time, has reached an intensity
never before experienced. While the
British official communication as yet
has only barely mentioned the fact
that the big guns are hammering
away, the probability is that Gener%
HaiS is preparing for another Of his
great drives, similar to those made on
Arras and Lens fronts, which worked

United Railways Growth

The last report Of the United Rail-
ways and Electric Company disclosed
that PSI ,244.oO0 persons were carried
on its cars during 1916. This showed
an Increase of nearly 100000. 900 in 10
years. The Company's cars now ira
verse territory occupied by 10000
persons. In 1906 they were serving
territory occupied by $4,000 per-

1915 increased 1899 per cent. over 1915.
while the operating expenses In

BRINGS FLOOD OF
BUSINESS HERE
Army Cantonment At Admiral,
Anne Arundel County, Means
Much To Baltimore.

Camp Meade will mean millions TO
Baltimore firms. 1t has already given
an enormous stimulus to business in
many lines. There are two effects
direct and indirect. Much of the d.
rect benefit, the actual sales of sup
piles from Baltimore firms for ship
ment to the camp. between Balti-
more and Washington and between
the three railroads Baltimore and
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis). can
not be reported for publication. The
indirect benefit TO the city can only
be shown in the sketchiest manner.
The payroll of one firm-Smith, Haul
ser and MacIsaac, the cantonment
buiIders-has run from s250.000 to
1901 900 a week for many weeks This
is for construction alone. and does
not include the pay in very large en-
velopes for sewerage construction,
road construction, water system
construction and the railroad con-
struction. The railroads. acting them
selves, without cost to the Govern
ment, have put in enormous freight
yards. miles of track for connecting
UP with main lines and for handling
the hundreds OF cars that daily are
shunted into the camp with loads of
troops, of food, ordnance and build
ing supplies.
There is 10 be an enormous con-
sumption of perishable food at the
camp. 1t fully justifies the kind of
farming down in the southern part
of the State that is now seen only
near big centers of population. The
demand for vegetables will be enor-
nous. The drain is now upon the
same sources that supply the city,
but other parts of the State can now
work to new center IN making ship
ments, can thus find a new market
brought right to their own doors. A

iei Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad and head of the transpor-
tation end of the Council of National
Defense has looked into this and has
done his work well.
VIII Have Money To Spend.
Manufactured articles needed at
camp that are produced in Baltimore
or other parts of Maryland have an
advantage over those that would
have to come from great distances.
There will be a population of 5000
men at this camp. They will have
twice as much to spend as the en-
listed men of the National Guard
had a year ago, for army pay is now
$50 a month for every private.

not lose sight of the fact that every

In addition TO this the dealer must
each year go TO quite an expense to

mobile show for the purpose of show
ing the public the latest models all

ELECTRIC POWER

Baltimore's electric possibilities are
unlimited. Connections with the great

which is generating a superabundant
supply of current-and at the most at
tractive rates to industrial concerns

sibilities where electricity is needed

Great Asset To City.

Today we find there are approxi-
mately 20 dealers located in and
around Baltimore city, which is nat
urally great asset to the city not
only because of the taxes they pay
upon their real and tangible property
but also because OF the amount of
taxes the city collects from the indi-
vidual buyer. upon the automobiles
