vV7HAT the Ware contractor bosses
w in Philadelphia failed to accom-
plish in the late election by wholesale
thuggery and murder, they attempted
to do by wholesale fraud. 1t is now
known that the whole Town meeting
ticket was elected, although through
the stealing of 10000 or 10000 votes
the gangsters thought they had defeat
ed that great popular uprising against
the contractor bosses.
Finally, after long struggle IN the
courts the boss-stuffed ballot boxes
have been ordered opened. In the eyes
of these Philadelphia politicians and
shame to say; In the eyes OF some OF
the judges, too-nothing is SO sacred as
gang-stuffed ballot box. "That would
make dangerous precedent 7, Thus
yawped one of the hireling lawyers who
had sold himself to the bosses to help
them defeat the peoples will at the
polls.
The legal profession has fallen from
its former high estate. Its code OF
ethics has been thrown overheard.
There is no villainy, individual or pub
lie, though never so vile and low, but
some attorney-at-law, for an adequate
bride, will pettifog, and misrecite law
and fact in his desperate effort ito make
the worse appear the better reason,
and overwhelm public right and JUS
tice in favor of private greed and wrong.
What makes possible this prostitution
of the once honorable practice OF the
law, is the fact that the judges-often
themselves creatures of the bosses
wink at the rascally business, often al
lowing bubbles instead Of right to de-
termine issues. 1t sis devoutly to be
wished" that this threefold assault upon
the ballot, of the bosses, the pettlfog-
gers end the venal judges, may III this
instance come to naught. We shall soon

OUR FRIEND AUSTRIA!

A MONG many other follies that
"A mark the conduct Of our war, is
the absurd determination of the Ad-
ministration to persist in regarding
Austria, Bulgaria and the dear old
Turkish cut threats as our friends 1t
is said the Forthcoming message of the
president will urge Congress not to de-
clare war against Austria and the
others
Our soldiers on the battle lines in
France and Italy, before firing at the
foe who is shooting at them must yell
'Sind sic Deu:sch oder Oesterich," are
YOU a German or an Austrian -
\ Italy our sorely pressed ally appreci-
Ates this absurd bubble of martial
&weedledum and tweedledee +!
OF course it pleases Germany might
III to know that no Turk, Bulgar or
Austrian plotter can be interned or
interferred with because they are our
friends So the 1000 deviltries now
being practiced here on every hand by
her sAes. and consirators can go on
unchecked under this Austrian cloke of
-'neutl atty" and Friendship !" Nice
state of affairs truly A continuation
of that famous-or, Infamous Official
announcement some months back that
we were ''too proud to fght" Austria
And when the Austrian troops help
the Germans kill our soldier boys for.
hidden to fire in return, it will also re.
mind us of that lovely condition when
this Administration permitted German
pirates in the course of two years to
kill several hundred Americans-and
nothing was done but send dozen OF
SO typewriter notes in weak protest.
Since printing the above editorial the
president in his message has announced
in highly vigorous language the policy
that war should at once be declared
against Austria. The Transcript shares
the general satisfaction that the grave
error, which was unjust to our ally
Italy and discreditable to ourselves,
will thus. though late, be corrected. .
The presidents message is virile.
patriotic declaration not less powerful.

KERENSK UNABLE
TO STEM RETREAT
Russians Continue Headlong
Flight in Spite of Blood
and Iron" Decree.

LONDON, July 24.-Notwithstand-
ing the threat of Premier KerenslSy
that policy of blood and iron" is
to be applied without restraint against
the seditious Russian troops in east
Galicia, whose disaffection has made
null almost all the brilliant gains they
had achieved under his personal lead
ership early in the month. the Rus
slams continue their retirement vir-
tually pell nell before the German
and Austro Hungarian armies. From
the wooded Carpathians to the region
Of Tarnopol the forces Of General
Korniloff almost everywhere are In
disorderly retreat, hardly anywhere
making an attempt to hold back the
oncoming enemy.
Already the losses of the Russians
in men killed, wounded and made pris-
oner and in guns and stores captured
are extremely heavy and these un-
doubtedly will become greater unless
the hoped for stiffening in the morale
Of the Russians is realized soon.
Stanislau, the principal juncture for
commercial activities in the crown
lands of Galicia and an important
grain and manufacturing center, is
being evacuated by the Russians, while
Podhaytse. Halicz and other towns
have been taken by the Teutons.
Tarnopol, one of the chief towns In the
crown land, is more seriously men
aced than ever, If II has not already
been retaken by the enemy crossing
the river to the south.
Including the hostilities In Galicia
the entire eastern front from the Bal
tic virtually to the Black sea Is the
scene of operations, but with the Rus
slams standing firmly against the en-
emy only in the Rumanian theater.
AS In Galicia, the Russians to the
north around the region Of Dvinsk
wilma continue to show signs Of dis
affection. Altho they have attacked
and captured German positions along
the Dvinsk Wilma railway, the Rus
sions could not be induced to press
their advantage and retired, uohin-
dered by the Germans. to their old
positions. In the repulse Of attacks
with large forces near Krevo which
was recaptured and south Of Smorgon
the Germans cut entire regiments to
pieces with their CALLING fire of ar
tillery and machine guns.

MERCANTILE MARINE MAKES
HEAVY PROFIT THRU WAR
Abnormal Increase In Rates Boosts
Earnings 81. .OOO. 900 Over
Xcar Of 1914

NEW YORK, July 24.-An extrao'-
dinary growth in the profits Of the
International Mercantile marine since
the beginning of the war was revealed
today In the companys report for
1916. was attributed by Harold A.
Sanderson chairman of the directors,
to the shortage of tonnage and the
abnormal increase in freight rates
As a result the earnings of the com
pany and its subsidiaries reached a
point far exceeding those Of any pre-
vious period In its history"
Gross earnings OF the company and
its subsidiaries for 1915, according to
the report, amounted to $60.G02.01O
after providing for British excess

opposed submission OF conscription to

Huge Sum Required for
Army Staggers Senate
Finance Committee.
TAX BILL IS HELD UP
May Carry $1,000, 100000
in Excess Of Original
Estimate.

WASHINGTON. July 24.-That one
million men instead OF only five hum
dred thousand would be selected this
year for the national army from the
ten million men subject to draft. was
forecast today by Secretary McAdoo
IN submitting estimates or the addi-
tional financial needs of the country
for this year.
Secretary McAdoo estimated tho
war needs would be 5000. 900, 900 In
excess of previous estimates princi-
pally In anticipation of assembling
IA second army of 100000 under tho
selective draft. and asked the COM
mittee to hold up the $3.50. 900, 900
war tax bill until the detailed esti-
mates OF all departments are submit
ted. The committee pigeonholcd u
report on the measure which IL had
planned to submit during the day.
The new estimates. including $780,
100000 additional for the shipping
board and $100.00O.000 for the navy
department. are to be submitted to
the committee late this week, prob
ably resulting In an increase OF the
revenue bilrs gross tax levy by from
$3.50, 900. 900 to 81. 500. 900. 900. Further
credits OF bonds OF Indebtedness GER
tificates also may be used.
More Looming Money Needed.
Besides the additional sums needed
for the war program Secretary Nc
Adoo told the committee that the
$4,000. .000.0 authorized for loans
to the allies probably would last
only until October and that about
$1,000, 100000 for their further assist
ance would be needed. Provision for
this. however. Is not planned in con-
nection with the pending revenue
legislation. II probably would be con-
sidered at the next session.
Tax Bill May Total $3.50, ,OOO. 900.
The secretary made no recon-
mendation as to what part of the
total should be raised by taxes and
what part by bond issues Or other
credits. II was reported. however.
that the treasury department would
favor raising SlO0O.00O,O00 more
than had been planned In taxes. max
ing the tax bill total $2.670. 100000.
As to the tax sources to be tapped
to meet the new estimates. the COM
mit>ee Is entirely at sea. Mr.. McAdoOs
announcement came entirely without
warning and more than one commit
teeman expressed himself completely
staggered by the size OF the forth
coming estimate. The first DISPOSE
ton was to turn to new taxes on war
excess profits and incomes
