Evidence has continued to accumu- late in the last few days to the effect that the alifes are persistently strengthening their defense, and what during the week end seemed like the early evacuation of the ruined eity of Ypres has at least been postponed for the time being. How long it can be retained depends upon the ability of the allies to ward off the powerful blows which are being struck by the enemy in that region. Following the capture of Kemmel hill and the rapid movement of -the Teutonic forces to the north and west it was evident that unless the British and French threw a greater number of troops into the fight in that re- gion that the high ground which gives that city its chief defense would be lost. There was the necessary ral- Iy, it apparently being felt that the sacrifice in men was justified in view of the importance of holding the ene- my from getting a strong grip in that locality, By the terrific fire which has been directed upen Kemmel hill that setrategic point has not as yet been turned tc as great an advantage as the eremy d hoped but the re- capturs of Locr2 and the hold of the Germans in :pit> of their battering ram methods is of no small signifi- cance. It is not to be supposed that Ger- many will accept the situation there as final or that it will not attempt by renewed drives to gain its object in that region. Tt sti the men which e willing to sacrifice, (An\p thcre are evi- not to " 1z of available Ger- “pesition which they are encounterins. :Every day that the Germans insist fupon sending their men to slaughter scontributes so much to the strength- Sening of the all MOVING IN RIGHT DIRECTION. Actien which cannot fail to be re- Sgarded with much faver is that which “has been taken by Director General ZMecAdoo in awarding contracts for $1025 new locomotives at a cost of 12$60,000,000 and for authorizing the Sconstruction of 70,000 freight cars fat a eost of $200,000,000 in order to ake care of the transportation needs ~of the country. For a long time the railroads of the { United States, and especially those in ithe east have suffered from a lack of imetive power and rolling stock. There fhas been a curtailment of passenger .=ervice in order to permit the engines to be used for hauling freight and ;there have been certain additions in jthe way of locomotives and cars, but ithe roads lacked the financial ability to provide as extensively for the need jas the situation required. # This new railroad equipment is be- iing provided by the government, the {roads being under federal control, and ithe engines and cars will be placed iwhere they may operate. They are to be delivered this year and at a profit to the manufacturers whichcan hardly be regarded as putting .them in the profiteering class since it will be only five to six per cent., orslight- ly under that which was obtajned where such werk was done for the railroads direct. Such help as this equipment will provide could be made excellent use of right mow, but there will be some satisfaction in knowing that while it is not available now it will be within a short time. We are mov- ing in the right direction. GERMAN EVASION. Notg many days ago Berlin put forth the report to the effect that it eoyld be expected that Uruguay and Argentina would declare war upon Germany. That information was said te have been advanced in order to prepare the people for such a dec- laration. Whether it was anticipated that Urnguay would accept this as its angwer to the request for information as to whether Germany" considered it- self at war with the South American country is mot made clear, but it is not aceeptable to Uruguay. Not Jong ago a. German submarine overhauled A vessel carrying a military commis- siop to France and forced it to leave the and give up its mission for B4 time being. It was this aet which SRR fons but to the incrensed op- | caused Uruguay to send a protest to Berlin and to ask whether it was to un- derstand that Germany considered 2 state of war existed between the two pations. ‘Without getting any definite an- swer, although it has been reported that the commission has since Dbeén allowed to proceed; it is but natural that Uruguay is desirous of knowing where it stands ‘relative to its rela- tions with Germany. There was a severance of . diplomatic relations a number of months ago but there has been no actual declaration of war by either country. Thus far Germany has done nothing but evade the ques- tion propounded. This doesn’t satis- fy and a second demand has been made to ascertain what the situation as viewed by Germany really is. Ger- many will evade it as long as it can, but Uruguay is apparently not in any mood to accept such replies. THE OVERMAN BILL. There has been a leng and bitter fight in the senate over the Overman bill. It has been attacked from many angles both while it was in the com- mittee and since. It has undergone some changes although in the essen- tial details the alterations have not been extensive. The persistent efforts to bring about amendments in the senate did not succeed and as passed by the senate the measure must be regarded as complying with the de- mands’ of the president, who has in- sisted from the first that it be not altered. . The Overman bill was submitted for the purpose of giving the president greater authority than he now pos- sesses in making changes in depart- ments for the conduct of the war. It was drawn following the disclosures of Senator Chamberlain, whose eriti- cism has already resuited in a nugp- her of improvements and the replac- ing of heads of certain branches of work which bids fair to:be just the thing that is needed, even if the bill failed. Uncer the terms of the bill as passed by the house, the president cannot create a new departments without the sanction of congress but he can exercise a greater control over those which are already in existence. If the lack of such authority was the reason for many of the mistakes and blunders which have heen made it should by all means be passed. It is a time when every possible assist- ance must be rendered for the sue- sful outcome of the war at the earliest possible moment. For that reason and that reason_ alone the house will be justified in following in the footsteps of the senate by ‘dp- proving the measure, and time in this as in other things is of much import- ance. Under such a bill there can be no dodging of responsibilit! THE CYCLOPS MYSTERY. As time goeg on . the greatér be- comes the mystery regarding the United States collier Cyclops. This sirong, staunch and comparatively new ehip of 11,000 tons, last heard of when it coaled in the West Indies, has been missing so long and the search which has been made for it has been so fruitless that there appears to be very slight hope that it will ever be located. This seemed to be the situation at the time the vessel's disappearance was first revealed, but persistent en- deavors have since heen made to.get some inklng as to what may have happened to it but in spite of all the scouring of the seas not the slightest trace has been found. While this leads to the belief that the vessel must have gome to the bottem in some unexplainable manner without leaving behind the least iota of wreck- age which has been discovered it only heightens the mystery surrounding it and increases the supposition that by some hook or crook, by some scheme engineered on board or by some out- side agency this naval vessel has got- ten into the clutches of the enemy, Loaded with manganese ore brought from Brazil such a ship and cargo would he a rich prize for Germany. The achievement, could it have been captured and been converted into a raider or even sailed into a’ German harbor, would be all the greater be- cause it would have been taken from under our very nese. Time will tell whether this has been the case, and whether as some rumors have indi- cated that there has bzen any reasons for suspecting its commander, but if it has gone to the bottom there is very slight possibility that anythinz will ever be known as to how and where it met its fate.

Is it any wonder that the German people are getting a bit nervous? No worse time could be selected for fomenting labor trouble than right now when there ‘is the zreatest need for a united nation. If a fight is sought fight the enemy, It is work like that which the mo- tor vehicles department is doing every pleasant Sunday in arvesting viola- tors of the automobile laws which is going to bring about the safety of the highway that is needed. ol When inmates of prisons, homes for the blind and other institutions where yiches are not supposed to abound are numbered among the Liberty bond buyers, those who are enjoying the freedom and benefits of this country ought not to be willing to be termed| zlackers. .

Zeebrugge is not a natural harbor but has a great curv- ed mole nearly two miles long ex- tending out into the sea in a north- westerly direction. In the shelter of this lie the docks and, most importan of all, the terminus of the canal lead- ing from Bruges. Submarines manu- factured in Germany are shipped to this point by rail, there assembled and within“ 2 couple of hours are in the open sea ready to do their fiendish work. Needless to say, Zeebrugge is strongly fortified, and it was into this harbor that the British forced their way in the endeavor to block the mouth of the canal. The raid was most carefully planned to allow for every imaginable situa- tion,, Dozens of craft large and small took part, manned by volunteer crews. ‘The difficulty was not to find the men, ‘but t%wselect the most useful from those ‘who volunteered. To block the canal three obsolete cruisers loaded with cement were to be sunk at its mouth. All the other vessels that took part were merely to divert the enemy's attention from the canal, and to rescue the crews of the block ships. Under cover of a smoke screen that they spread for miles along the Bel- gian coast, the whole fiotilla crept up as close as they could and then made the dash. Instantly the barbor was all alight with star shells sent up by the Germans, but into this blaze of light, and right in the face of the concentrated fire of hundreds of guns, the old cruiser Vindictive steamed her way and lay alongside the outer end of the Mole. Then while her consorts held her against it, a landing party of five hundred swarmed onto the great pier and fought it out hand to hand, with the German defenders. For an hour the Vindictive lay alongside, her hull protected by the mole but her up- pre works riddled with shot and shell. Meantime the cement-ladeit .block ships steamed into the harbor, and though one ran afoul of an underwater net and could not reach her geal, she signalled - the others to steer their course right into the mouth of the canal. There their crews blew them up and there they now lie, their car- goes of cement hardened into rock and furnishing apparently a very sat- isfactory stopper to the mouth of the canal. And in the glare of the search- lights and star shells, two American- built launches ran in and took off the heroic crews of the sunken block ships and carried them out of .the meiee to the waiting destroyers. _The Vindictive’s landing party con. tinued their bloody fight on the Mole recalled by their vessel's siren, then they regezined her deck and the bat- tered cruiser withdrew from the har- bor along with her badly punished consorts. The British loss in killed, wounded and missing was nearly 600, a heavy toll but not too much to pay if only the canal at Zeebrugge is blocked for some time. The fact that of the above total only sixteen are named as missing, shows the wonder- ful planning that was done for the res- cue of the crews of the block ships and the plucky ‘way in which this was carried out by the men on the lziinches, All in ali it was a heroic adventure and well sustains the best traditions of the British navy. After a lull in the great battle in Flanders which the Germans in bring- up heavy artillery and replacing their shattered divisions, the assaults on the northern side of the river Lys sa- lient were resumed; and after two days of ferocious fighting, they were able to surround Kemmel hill and iso- late the defenders. The hereic French regiment fought te the last man, and it was up slopes slippery with blood and over the hodies of their own dead that the enemy finally scaled the important summit. For Kemmiel is the highest point in all that region, and from its top there is a view far and wide over the plains of Flanders. The loss of the position is undeniably serious and will doubtless bring: about the evacuation of Ypres within a few days. Net the way 'to the coast is by no means clear to the advancing eifemy. There are other hills stretch- ing westward from Kemmel and each of these must be taken at enormous cost before’ the path to Calais is open. On the south shoulder of the salient the British have held their ground and even improved their posi- tion somewhat. while Vimy, Arras and Albert stand like rocks in the way of any further German progress west- ward. In the extreme south of the great battlefield the French have had to give up the town of Hangard, ten miles southeast of Amiens, but the British, though driven out of Villers- Bretonneux, regained the place by a vigorous counter attack with Austral- ian troops and have since been able to maintain their ground. Altogether it has not been a- successful week for the German offensive, which is days behind its schedule of advance. Only the German high command knows how frightfully costly each day of delay is proving. The senatorship recently left vacant by the death of Senator Stone of Mis- souri has been offered by the governor to four different men, the most promi- nent of whom is Champ Clark, the present speaker of the house of repre- sentatives. The temptation to take the offered place in the upper cham- ber must have been a sore one to Mr. Clark. the mare so as the caucus of the house republicans assured him that they would not attempi to fill his place with one of their own party. This promise left Mr. Clark entirely free from any fear that his opponents might get control of the house, and entirely on patriotic grounds he has elected to remain where he is and forego the senatorship. He has proved himself a capable speaker, respected and admired both great parties, and though membershin in the upper house is undoubtedly a great honor, his continuance as the leader of the lower house is certainly a mark of his vatriotism. The interstate commerce commission has at last grudgingly allowed the railroads of New England to increase their freight and passenger rates, al- though the privilege was not granted to the New Haven road without an- other slan at it for the misdeeds of its fofmer directors. The new de- cision permits a mileage rate of twa and three-quarters cents. This will bring the fare from Norwich to New York to about $3.85. The New Haven road is particularly interested in this increase of passenger rates, inasmuch as its passenger revenues form a far larger propertion of the total receipts than is generally the case for the rail- roads ,of the counmtry. In faet, the|read passenger increase alone to net the New Haven in the neighbor- extent will relieve the national gov- ernment from paying from Mr. Me- | children Adoo’s revolving fund into the treas. “fl”muwflluflm !lfiwmwfllfl‘ serious frame of mind than shoesshe promised just because In fact 1 defy any woman | help herSelf and sn't at all enthu- tn he m ‘the least gay and frivolous if{ siastic about it. y&m had met him ‘burdened by the knowledse|and now that 1 was £ | that her fect Jook as though they be-|didn't want to, remembering the longed to somebody, size 11, in the|clumpy - shoes, the brown _serge Ppose, hence the desperate effort to de- | Brobd family! myself: No! ‘body wil see me!’ “It makes my iife just as hard as I've always fancied must have been|my guns?
