Heir to Throne Of Baden Chosen
 Successor to VOn Hertling
MAY BE PEACE CAM0UFLAGE
New Cabinet Head Known to Be Op- posed to Pan- -GeTnanistS-Had Been Mentioned As Candidate For Imperial German Crown.

Amsterdam, Oct 3.-Prince Maxi milan of Baden has been named German imperial chancellor, accord ing to the Zeitung Am Mittag of Der lin.
 A council meeting took place at the chancellor's palace in Berlin last eve ming, according to advices received here. Emperor William presided and the meeting was attended by Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who had come to Berlin with the emperor. Former Chancellor von Hertlng, Vice Chancellor von Payer and sever al state secretaries were in attend ance.
 Prince Maxinilian is heir to the throne of the grand duchy of Baden. He was born July 10, 1867. For some years he has been recognized as the leader of the Delbrueck group of German moderates and upon the fall of Imperial Chancellor Michaelis, November 1, 1917, he was put for ward as the moderates' candidate for the chanCellorship. His name, how ever, did not go before the emperor as Prince Maximilian objected for dynaStic reasons.
 At that Lll11C OnoI6 were vague IU- mors concerning Prince Maximilian 10 the effect that in moderate circles there was Ter way movement having for it's ultimate objective the dethronement of Emperor William and the choice of Prince Maximilian as his successor. These rumors how ever, were never confirmed, although there seemed to be some foundation for them.
 Tn his book My Four Years in Ger many" former Amba dor James w. Gerard paid a tribute to Prince Maximilian and expressed admira- ton for him. He said that Prince Maximilian had been considered as the man to be placed at the head of a central department for prisoners of war in Germany and stated that it was his belief that such an appoint ment would have redounded to the benefit of both Germany and the prisoners placed in his charge.
 Early in the present year Prince Maximilian gave a semi-officia1 inter- view in which he outlined his views on Germany's peace terms. His state ment was a rude shock to the pan Germans in that he advocated the abandonment of all ideas of con- quest. He advocated an Anglo Saxon peace. in the sense that the German empire must serve as d bulWark in protecting the western nations from the spread of Russian Bolshev1sm.
 Prince MaXimiIian's wife was for merly Marie Louise duchess of Brunswick -Lurebourg and bears the title of Princess Royal of Great Brit ain and Ireland.

Americans Round Up Great Booty.

With the American Army North west of Nerdun, Oct 2.-(By the As sociated Press.) - Violent artillery firing developed along the center of the American line between the Mouse and the Aisne today.
 All along the line fighting was re- stricted principally to patrol actions. The enemy expected a. heavy attack today and to that fact is attributed his heavy artillery fire.
 At various points minor infantry clashes accurred both side using machine guns.
 At one point the Germans sue ceeded in getting airplanes across the line Smoke bombs were dropped,> ,> indicating American position to the enemy gunnerS One of the enemy machines was brought down by anti aircraft guns, while pursuit planes accounted for others. One American aviator who was attacked by seven Fokkers fought his way out, bringing down one of the enemy machines,

 The latest summary of the material captured shows 120 guns of all cali bres; 75O trench mortars; 800 machine guns; 100 anti-tank guns; thousands of shells and hundreds of thousands of rounds of small arm am munition.
 East of Verdun and about Douau- mont there was a heavy shell fire maintained by the enemy today In 9 minor engagement in the Woevre sector American forces captured 30 prisoners.
 Reach Kricmhild- Steelun@ Line.
 American units reached the kricm- d-Steelung line at one point today, having broken through the principal zone or resistence. Just south of Brieulles, they advanced to a spot where they established actual contact with this famous enemy system.
 The Kriemhild -Steelung system was begun last year before the Americans became an active factor in the war. It is not as strong as the famous Iindenburg line, but nevertheless, has heavily fortified positions.
 As it is the last enemy defense system between the Americans and the Mouse, where it flows north to may be anticipated and the difficulty of carrying this system is not under rated by the Americans

The W., B. & A. and Its Passengers
Line Should Have More Regard for Travelling Public
By EARL GOODWIN.

If the Public Utilities Commission desires the hearty
good Will and support of the Washington public, it will
Immediately take up the question of why the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad does not treat its pas
sengers better
1t will Immediately take up the question of why the
lnerurban line still uses the public street terminal
1t will Immediately order the company to open its
cars Tor passengers while the standing idle
the streets If the company knew the value of courteous
treatment of passengers would not have to be ordered
to do this thing; it would about naturally
matter of course.
1t has been recommended strongly to the Public Utili-
ties Commission by John Beeler that the w. B. and A
Co. be ordered to find terminal somewhere east of its
present FREE parking space With this recommendation
included statements showing that the w. B. and A is
responsible for large portion of the delays and congestion
the Columbia line It has been shown that the w. B.
and parks its public streets longer than the
police regulations allow; the public knows by hourly
perience that the w. B. and A. exhibits not the slightest
evidence that it has any regard for its passengers beyond
taking their money.
The w., B. and A claims to be looking for place to
build terminal and meantime its parking in free
street space Certainly the company will continue occupy
such free space long the Public Utilities Commission
refrans from ordering the company to get site and build
terminal in a hurry.
Ny advice to the gentlemen in Baltimore who own the
w. and A is to make bid for the good will of the Wash
ngton public because later the feeling now
engendered by the road will break out into something
than gumbng People apt to stand bad treatment much
longer than necessary but eventually the offending utility
will get its deserts.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
As the mother of three girls
want to thank you for the extreme
II just and intelligent presentation
of the gauZe waist as a modern gar
ment. These blouses are not OBJ
jectionable in themselves, but only
when the girls neglect to wear
enough beneath them. 1t Is the IN
derwear that is at fault in modern
dressing more often than the outer
garments
How strange these modern styles
seem to mel am still on the sunny
side of hfty-and when ! was a girl

in love with me in that gown, too.
and we have been very happy, and

A Colonial Danes Protest.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I failed to see how the Georgette
waist is more immodest on a work
ing girl than on a society woman.
In truth, meeting hundreds of these
girls. I have seldom seen a case
where the underwear was so insult
ncient as to make the garment re-
ferred to seem immodest. A mature
woman myself, ! am glad to don
Georgette in this intense heat. and
consider 1t no derogatIon OF my dig
nifty. And even were the gown too
open fail to see how il can excuse
or extenuate a man from failing to
maintain the department OF a gen
tlemRn.
I should be glad to have you
assign the reason for society
women attending social func-
lions at whatever season. barring
their shoulders and breasts, and
II you think gentlemen in So
ciety would be justified in treat
ing such ladies with indignity?

1t seems hardly necessary for
mere writer to tell a lady de-
scribing herself "as a Colonial
Dame-and lineal descendant Of
commissioned officers of the CO.
lonial army" that what may be
entirely appropriate for society
may be grossly unsuitable for
business hours and daylight.
My article did not recommend or
condemn the Georgette wais: for
business, but suggested when they
were too revealing, the girls who
wore them ought to have the cour-
age Of their bravado.
AS the Colonial Danes letter
assures us she is a mature wom-
an" we have a comfortable feeling
that her Georgette waist will not
interrupt the personnel of the de-
partment where she is Employed
The Washington times., 1918-09-16

A BOUT a week ago there ap-
~ peared in The Times an
article called playing the
Game" which dealt with the ultra
transparent waists that many wo-
men wear to their offices.
No criticism was made OF these
garments, either on the score OF
good taste or morals. But a plea
was presented to the wearers to be
fair, to play the game" and If
these too revealing blouses sub
mitted them to unpleasant COM
ments or attentions to put the
blame where it belonged, on their
own scanty attire rather than on
the "depravity" OF men.
This article appears to have
been a case Of casting bread upon
the waters, as 1t has brought in
scores of letters from men and
women all over the country. More
men than women have replied to
this article, and thanked me for
stating their side of the case so
fairly.
The women, with the exception
OF one, have written good humor-
eddy. They say the georgette waist
is all right if it is worn over de-
corous underwear And in that
agree with them heartily. The
sole objector is a lady who de-
scribed herself as a Colonial dame
and a mature woman. The follow
ing are some of the letters:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

good mothers before them, re-
gard women as superior beings.
Now, IL the wife OF tomorrow is
to be judged by the conduct OF
