A SHRUNKEN INDUSTRY TEMPO.
RARILY,

If the weather man is willing the
White mountain resort season will ex-
tend farther into October this year than
ever before.-Concord IN. H. Monitor.
And it seems that the season will have
to extend at least month for the sum
mer resorts to approach their average
revenue per season. In the mountains,
as well as in many other places where
vacationists are usually entertained, it
has been dull season, due chiefly to
the war, the weather and the fact that
people are taking on more serious view
of life. The war and the resultant need
for economy have pinched the strings of
the poeketbook little tighter; the
weather during the greater part of the
summer months has not been of the sort
to lend charm to outdoor life; and the
enlistments and drafting of men for war
service have left feeling of sadness in
thousands of families so that those re-
naming did not feel in the proper spirit
to 90 off on pleasure tours. Those three
conditions explain in large measure why
the mountain resorts of New Hampshire,
as well as the vacation places of many
other states, have not experienced such
rush of business as usual during the
last few months, However, as the con.
temporary suggests, there ought to be
another full month of weather suitable
for outdoor life without undue hardship

The compromise agreement between
the Boston & Maine railroad and the
shop workers brings to an end situation
which promised soon to become intoler-
able under war conditions and at time
too, when winter was about to set in.
The suspension of work by the shop men
had not been of long enough duration
TO make itself felt very severely, but it
is certain that had the trouble been main
tanned for a long period New England
would have suffered greatly from the
blockading of freight at the more impor-
tant points on the line. Therefore, the
fairly prompt tentative agreement be-
tween the railroad and the men, in which
both sides have shown a willingness to
compromise, is a matter which gives con-
siderable pleasure to shippers and CON
sumers all through New England.

The almost inevitable outcropping OF
ambition for personal aggrandizement is
making itself manifest in Russia, where
one after another, the men prominent in
public life are making their bids for as
sumption of the power of dictator. The
deposing of General Korniloff from the
head of the Russian army because of the
aspirations Of that military leader for
governmental preferment shows, how
ever. that Premier kerensky still holds
the whip hand and is up to the present

The lst Vermont infantry, National
Guard, now a part of the forces of the
United States, is said to have gained an
enviable reputation for the physical fit
ness of the men following the removal
of the troops from the Green Mountain
state to Massachusetts as only four men
out OF the entire regiment were dis
charged by reason of physical defects.
The result shows how carefully the work
of examining the men was done by the
officers in Vermont.

Rome, Sept. 20.-Lieutenant Colonel
George F. Baker, chairman Of the Am
erican Red Cross commission to Italy.
has just returned from a fortnight
visit to the italian front, where he
travelled the whole distance from the
Carso to the Trentino. with a view to
making a report on the assistance
which the United States can give In
this hard fought field.
Speaking to the Associated Press
Colonel Baker said:
IT saw the small advanced dressing
stations of two or three little rooms.
Thru one of these, more than 11.00o
wounded passed in seventeen days l
saw many base hospitals containing
from 800 to 5000 beds. These hospitals
often were installed In buildings OF
separate wards, where, before the war,
no buildings existed. In other cases
houses and buildings already stand
ing were used. I found, without excep-
tion, cleanliness, effective maintenance
and most skillful doctors and nurses.
THE American commission visited
number Of camps of Austrian prison
ers containing 5000 to 5000 men each.
1t was a pleasure to see the camps so
well conducted and such high regard
shown for the prisoners Ordinary SOL
diars in the prisoners camps slept IN
tents and the officers were quartered In
huts The prisoners received the
same rations as those given to Italian

They returned to the attack in stronger
force and captured the house. The Ca

lied counter attack, and they drove
out the Germans.
Artillery Action Is Intensified.
Artillery action has been greater to-
day than for several days The ten
dency of the enemy already noted to
devote more attention to shelling our
back areas with long range, high We
locity guns, increases as does his use
of gas shells in sections where the nom
combatants live. The object apparent
ly is to terrorize mine workers and
their families and make more difficult
the work of raising coal.
