WHEN YOU SEE NEW YORK THE FIRST TIME

Fanny, the heroine of Edna Ferber's new serial which is running in The American Magazine comes to New York in the September issue, and Miss Ferber says:
 Fanny scrambled up the spiral stairs of a Wash ngton Square bus The air crisp, clear, intoxi- eating To her Chicago the buildings, the streets the very sky looked startngly fresh and washed. As the bus urched down Fifth she leaned over the railing to stare fascinated at the coorful shifting, brilliant panorama of the amazing eye could the gorgeous procession moved up and down, and the great, gleaming motor crept and crawled and writhed in and out like nothing so much swollen angle worms in a fishing can, Fanny thought Her eye was caught by limousine that stood out in that crush of magnificence It all black, though scorning to the eye with vulgar color and it lined with white. Fanny thought it looked very much like Segel & Cowans hearse, back in Winnebago In it sat woman. all furs and orchids and complexion. She was holding up to the window little dog with a wrinkled and weary face, like that of old. old man. He was sticking his little evil, eager red tongue at the world And he wore very smart and woody white sweater, of the imported kind, with monogram done in black
 The traffic policeman put up his hand. The bus rumDled on down the street Names that had always been remotely mythical her now met her eve and became realities. Maillards. And that great red stone castle was the Waldorf Almost historic and it looked fresher than the smoke -grimed Blackstone And straight ahead-why that be the Flatiron building! It looked up like the giant prov of an un- imaginable ship Brentanos The Holland House Madison Square. Why there never was anything so terrifying and beautiful and palpitang, and exquisite as this Fifth in the winter afternoon with the sky ahead rosy mist and the golden lights just beginning to spange the At Madison Square she decided to walk. She negotiated the bus stems with surprising skill for novice and scurred aJons the perous crossing opposite side She entereo Madison Square"

DRAF TED MEN CAN'T CHOOSE THEIR CAMP
 |S ORDER ID BOARD

A telegraphic order received yester- day from Provost Marshal General CroWder indicates that there has been a further clash of authority between hls office and other branches of the mill tary and naN al service. The order calls attention to an order, sa1d to have been given circulation from the recruiting offices of the marine corps stating, thai irafted men though they had been called for examination, might enlist in the marine corps.
 General Crowder says that it is not she case; the-Original order still stands, that drafted man might enhst in any branch of the naval or military service dp to the time of his call for eXamina- ton hefore the exemption board, bug not after he had received such call.
 Another order from the provost marr hal general relates to the choice by drafted men of the mobilization camps to which they may go. Such a choice annot be exercised though it is stated that in the case of one who is far re- moved from the district in which he was drafted and called a special ar raDgement may be made for him to enter some camp other than that tc which the contingent to which he be- longeG has been assigned
 In the matter of appeals from the ruling of the local exemption board, another order corrects an impression that an appeal may be taken directly to the president; as a matter of fact such appeals have been received. But the order requires all appeals to come to the office of the provost marshal gen eral through the district boards, and then they may be acted upon by the president

The Mayor of Chicago

The people of Chicago pretty patient to put up with such mayor William Hale Thompson whose protection thrown around the Peoples Council If that had been single isolated instance it might have been excused by the mayor on the ground that it his duty to give protection to lawful, peaceful assemblage But it only one of chain of incidents which had already brought the mayors loyalty under suspicion.
 The mayor snubbed the allied commission, sistng of the most distinguished citizens of Great Britain and France. He has gone out of the way to exhibit the warmth Of his feeling for Germany and his lack of sympathy with the So consistent had been his conduct in this respect such powers mayors of large cities expected exercise in connection with the seectve draft taken away from him.
 And yet it is only little more than year that Thompson was considered seriously by himself and perhaps, by others, fit presidential teral He aspired to the republican nomination. It the credit the discrimination of the people of Chicago and then they did not know much about Thompson they do now that they regarded his aspiration joke They perceived that he had single qualification for the presidency He born in the United States and was therefore. eligible

 "The tremendous enthusiasm that We have found in every part of the nation betokens a unity of thought and a de- termination to wir the war that leaves no doubt as to the firmness of the American people in support of the pur- pose to make the world safe for democ- raCX."
 In explaining the presence of the large number of former members of the socialist party. including twelve former editors of well known socialist pnblica tions, Mir. Spargo declared that all real socialists have been unable to agree with the party's stand
 We are still loyal to socialist prin- ciples,' Ee said.
 If there are any X-socialists, they are the ones who are the members of the party now There is being formed an organization of socialists who have left the party. and it will almost i'm m ediately be tremendously strong power so that the American people no longer will look to the socialist party for the interpretation of socialism.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-(Wall StreeO The absolute dominance of the short interest over prevailing market con- ditions was demonstrated anew today when stocks underwent further serious depreciation Some investment issues registered lowest prices of recent years, while others of less stable value established new minimums.

 Initial advances were more than maintained until noon, when New York Central, St. Paul and New Haven de- veloped acute weakness, all declining to low records.

Oats finished 1s to A 0 < off and provisions down f212c to 45c.

A Suspicious Attack

We fail to notice concerted movement in tn newspapers against United States Senator I\ Toilette the ground that he is embarrassing the government in it's war preparation. We notice further that the journals which more bitterly assai Wis oonsin embrace those which have been strong ly suspected rightly wrongly. of a relation to the great special interests. These attacks upon MT. La Toilette directed Gronna and others who in the beginning opposed to the war, but who atterly have been insisten that the great interests which profiting immensely by the war. should be made contribute their full share to the support of it.
 There other senators who also insist upon a heavy war profits tax Johnson of California, Senator Borah and others. But they be a. tackled yet along with Senator La Toilette since their record the war is clear We suppose an insidous assault will be made upon them later
 What may have been the sins of Senator La Toilette with respect to the war they all in the last. If he had a mind to embarrass the government now, he could do and having failed in his anti-war campaign he has lately given the evidence of anti-war activity to warrant those attempts to d.scredit him.
 Our suspicion that these assaults upon the senator made in the interest of those who desire retain their huge profits Is strengthened by the fact that the attacks longer directed against the Mis-
 
 of willful men," They opposing the heavy profit tax now and so have purged themselves of their earlier sins iar
 MT. La Toilette and all who stood in the way of the deserved all the castgaton they received dur ing the proper period of casgation. But that period is past They guilty of no fault unless 1t ie as their enemies charge the fault of making the war unpopular among the very rich who grow ing richer and who demand that they shall be allowed keep possession of all this money the price of so much blood and world misery.
 Their friends, the enemies of Senator La Toilette tell us that he is helping the enemy by dscouraging business. They have threatened that if the government insists share of their blood money they will either quit business move to Cana da where the taxes great profits much lighter That is the kind of patriots they are-the same kind of patriots who skedadded the country in the civil war; the same kind of patriots the slackers in hiding.
 The war. is admitted, is not popular and it will not be made by permitting a.orIteers who are comparatively few in number to increase their great wealth while the great masses of citizens groan- ing under tax burden with the prospect of be- coming poorer the war proceeds
 Here eloquent and admitted figures The United States Steel corporation profits this year would leave to the corporation s125 100000 of that mighty profit and Senator Borahs would leave to it s1s6.OoO,OOO. Is either sum large enough? Under the Bcrah amendment the Dupont Powder company would retain s5OOOOOO of it's profits Is there any danger of either of these, similar con- cerns fleeing tine country or shutting up shop?

The Collapse of Russia

The collapse of Russia may be regarded as com pete The Russian army is beyond reorganization by element in that country It will continue perhaps for short time to offer sporadic rc&:stance points along the line but resistance -an be effective against any serious effort by the central powers advance.
 The trouble or least, one vital trouble with the Russian army, lately pointed out by the former Amer- consul at Plauen Germany, that it is without commanders. The Russian military leaders no time were according to this authority have all been killed captured or corrupted by the Teutons. In the whole Russian military establishment, there is leader capable of restoring the army of experience to say nothing of genius
 Not long ago, just before Russian offensive which promise of success that is mere surface promise Premier Kerensky went to the front and the apparent attributed to his pres ence and skill He later recalled the front to stem the tide of deserton but failed. Premier Ke- rensky IS probably no more expert in military affairs than President Wilson, King George or the French president and none of them would be expected to influence for good the outcome of military campaign
 If the Russian military establishment is to be reorganzed for further participation in this war the work will have to be done by Japanese, French or such task All talk about e-organized and pa- trotic Russia is beside the case It does not matter how patriotic and harmonious the people of that country may become, they be useful in the war only as they present effective fighting force and an effective fighting force is mob Any number of Russian soldiers, however well armed that may be
