WATSON TONIGHT

Steamer Admiral Watson is due m Seward tonight about midnight accord ing to word received by Agent Wayne Blue. Now the Watson may arrive a. head of time and may be behind time. fogs might interfere, etc., but after a steamers lights are seen down the bay it generally takes about 2O to sr minutes to reach the dock. Perhaps the best way to wait for steamer owing to fogs and general delay at ,a,neries, is to wait for the whistle to announce the arrival. If the Admir- all Watson arrives about midnight, or later she will leave out within three or four hours and return here from Anchorage about next Tuesday.

Former President Taft viii deliver

would it not be a good thing for him

the express purpose of acquainting the
people with just what conditions are

The tour of the environments was made
for the purpose of adding to the assur-

cause. They would be heartened, it was
thought, by such a message from so dis

great pleasure.

American ARTILLERY Work

In reports of the American offensive
operations IN France there is evidence
that the artillery service on our side i
efficient. In all the tricks Of heavy gun
warfare our batteries are showing them
selves quite the equal Of the Germans,
if not in some respects superior. Two
raids have lately been conducted by
American troops under the protection of
such capable barrage fire that they have
reached their detectives and every man
has returned unframed German bat
teries have been quickly siIenced upon
attempting counter harrages to prevent
retreat of the raiding parties. Ameri-
can craftsmanship, it would seem, is ac-
cu-ate, and this, it must be remem bered
with less aerial assistance than is usual
: " rendered. In only this one respect
of aviation service is our equipment in
France deficient, and this lack, il is
stated, will be quickly supplied Judg-
ing from the performances of the past
few weeks there Will be no reason to
doubt that in the major operations that
viii soon be started in France, whether
of an offensive or defensive nature. the
American forces Will fully hold their

and are qualifying with all their en-
ergies for the perils and hardships of
tie trenches.
Mr.. Taft can give important informa-
ton to ali on camp conditions. He saw
them close up. He talked with the men.
He must have brought away impressions
of moment and value respecting work
hurriedly begun and executed on very
large scale.
1t is no secret that some of the can
comments were not ready on schedule
time, and we're put tc use in state of
unreadiness. There was crowdlng.
Hsaltn reports were not satisfactory.
Criticism became somewhat severe.

Improvement has taken place. Pub
LEFTY has wrought a cure for the worst
CT the evils. Sickness has declined. The
death rate is much lower. The spirit
and the appearance of the men are high,
They are taking their lessons success
fully.
Mr.. Taft knows the story up to date,
and, of course, tells it to the edifca
ton and comfort of all listeners. And
in telling it he is well employed. For
second only in interest to that of the
soldiers now in France and in action
is the story of the soldiers still at home
and awaiting transportation to the bat
tie lines. All details as to that command
attention.

The Traction Report.

All that is new to the public in the
I Commissioners reply to the Scnatc's
resolution of inquiry regarding the
] local traction situation is that the Wash
irEton Railway and Electric Company
has opened negotiations for the purchase
ment that the Capital Traction Company
had ordered twenty new ears had al
ready been made. But it appears that
( The cars ordered lv the Capital Trac-
ton Company VIII possibly not be avail
able earlier than October l. II may be
presumed that those ordered by the other
line Will not be sooner in service. Mean
while some Of the deficiencies may be
made good by the use of open ears.
1nasInuch as the present shortage of
service is due in the main to the lack
# rolling stock on TIL" lines il IS evil
dent that the community viii not have
material relief from traction congestion
at once. II all the cars, opened and
closed, are used throughout the summer
the fOrtyfve new ones now ordered will
barely replace, on their arrival. those
that must be withdrawn by reason of
the colder weather of autumn. 1t thus
appears that additional orders for ears
suitable for use in the cold weather
should be placed at once to yield a net
increase commensurate with the increase
in travel.
The Washington Railway and Electric
Company, whose reply to the commits
sion is transmitted to the Senate, urges
that the difficulties of transport arise
from the shortage of men, not cars. Con
sidering the frequent breakdowns which
occur on this system, daily blockading
the lines and seriously delaying the traf-
fic, it would seem that the trouble is OF
"a dual nature. The present equipment.
which has not been increased for many
m onths past, is wearing out and is no
longer dependable for service. Main
tenance requirements are needed, re-
gardless of additions to the service.
The suggestion by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company that the
local systems should be operated as one
under an increased rate of fare is of no
particular weight in this connection.
The Commissioners themselves, however,
express the opinion. on the score OF the
trackage situation, that if the two sys-
tens were operated as one the present
trackage would be ample to meet traffic
conditions for the present at least, with
several short track connections to make
the Interchange of cars feasible.
Surveys now in progress may enable
the commission later to make more spe-
cific recommendations on the point of
service improvements. Meanwhile the
population increases daily, and the only
hope of relief is in the utilization of
the open ears, for which the track clear
ances effected by certain stop changes
already and soon to be adopted will
give space. If there is labor shortage
it may be attributable to unattractive
wages. Whether the cure of this con
dition involves any increase in fare is
question on which the commission. il
is to be noted, expresses no opinion.

The Canal and the Food Supply.

An additional reason for more fully
equippirg the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal appears in the announcement that
the local truckers viii plant one-third
less acreage this season than last. If
the canal were PLACED in shape to han
die larger tonnage by the introduction
of more barges it could bring down
from the upper Potomac valley large
quantities of garden truck to supply the
capital. There IS at present but a poor
market for much of these products. The
canal, however, would bring them to
Washington at low rate of transport
cost. This factor should be considered
in weighing the matter of canal re-
Mobilization under government auspices.
