THE PRICE OF A TOGA.

The death of former United States
Senator Isaac Henderson at Mari
nette, Wis, this week brings to mind
the charge made against the deceased
several years ago that his election
was due to the profuse expenditure
of money. The Senate made an ex-
haustive investigation of the charge,
and ascertained that Mr.. Henderson
spent $4,000 in his campaign.
This brings to mind contest be-
tween two men for seat in the Bril-
ish House of Commons a long time
ago. The members Of this body re-
ceive no salary. 1t was shown that
the successful candidate spent $50
900 and his competitor $4,000.

THE BERLIN DECKER.

Having found some enemies whom
It can defeat-because they have laid
down their arms-Germany is making
the most of its opportunities by con-
tinuing its invasion of northern Rus
STA and adding thereto the occupation
of Odessa.
AS the Philadelphia Record says,
these things demonstrate that no
trust can be placed in any German
peace; the power to resist Germany
is the only thing other nations can de-
pend on.
The German Government knows per-
fectly we'll that what-it has not been
able to accomplish in the west in three
and half years, it can never accom-.
plish. It can not dislodge the allies
from the western front, and they can
stay there longer than the German
armies can. William II knows this,
and so do Won Hindenburg and Won
Hertling. The people have for some
time been getting fairly clear under
standing of this fact, but the govern
ment did not dare seek peace with the
allies without having made sure CO
enough glory elsewhere to "save its
face"
Now we have the German news
papers chortling over the possession Of
a road to India, and semi-official ar
ticles in the papers suggest to the
Germans the impossibility OF victory
in the west. These facts are thought
to give significance to vague rumors,
which are visible in some Of the G.
man newspapers, and have reached
this country by other means, that
Germany will seek peace in the west.
and make the most of its gains in the
east to convince its people that the
war was a great German success.

MILLIONS TO REGISTER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-On the eve of the great muster of the nations manhood for the war, Provost Marshal General Crowder summed up the situa- tiOn in a brief sentence addressed to the 13,000,000 men between IS and 45 years who will register tomorrow
 The registrars are at their posts awaiting you,"
 General Crowder has asked that the event be observed as a holiday with flags flying and bands playing in tribute to the men who will enroll. His last word to prospective regis trants was upon every man between the ages of IS to 45 years, both in elusive not heretofore registered or not already in active military and naval service rests the obligation to register on Thursday.
 Through this registration it is pro- posed to enroll the names of approxi- mately 3,000,0 900 men not subject here tofore to the draft.
 Will Count Man-power
 This task completed, America will have taken a census of it's available man power. With this enrolment and the registrations of June 5, 1917, June ,, 1918, and August A, 1918 we shall have placed in this reservoir the names of approximately 23,400,000.

OFFICIALS EXPECT
 GREAT BATTLE OR
 BIG RETREAT SOON
TRepubllean A. p. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON, Sept 11.-Bohind the apparent lul in the battle in France. events are shaping for opera ton of crucial importance in the opin- lon of officials. They believe a weeks .ime will see either the greatest battle u tHe war in progress along the old Ii 1hurg line OF the enemy in full r-fra.t toward the Belgian frontier.
 There is little doubt that it was lack

 Americans Pouring Into France
 With such losses and American troops pouring into France at the rate t 100000 month, it would not be a surprise. officers say. if the German leaders have been compelled to fix unan much shorter front than the old Ilindcnburg line.
 Unofficial reports from Dunkirk in o'catc that the preparations to evacu- ite Douai northern cornerstone of the Hindcnhurg arch in France, are well advanced The allied airmen also are s1Id To have seen the enemy airdromes and aviation stations fifteen miles be- f0ld Douai being hastily evacuated of heavy material. From other cities come reports that the civilian popula-

tion of the towns in German hands in this region are being driven out, a step which always precedes a withdrawal by the enemy.
 Held Only at Great Cost
 There is little doubt in the minds of officers here that Douai could be held only at great cost if the British are sent forward to take it.
 If Douai, Cambrai, St. Quentin, and La Fere fall, the Hindenburg line goes with them, probably along the whole length, it is said.
 Foot by foot, the French have forced their way around the northern side of La Fere while to the south, French and American troops have clung to their hold on the heights above Nauxvillion against repeated counter attacks An other mile of advance here and just to the south will put General Mangin $ men actually on the northern end of the Chemin des Danes, the ridge that guards Laon from the Franco Amer ican forces along the Aisne.
