BATTLE TRENCHES BECOME DEATH VALLEY AND DEAD BLOCK PROGRESS OF VICTOR
ENGLAND IS MECCA
OF FUGITIVES FROM
WAR'S LURID ZONE
Crowds of Sad-faced Bel
gians Throng Folkestone,
Presenting Strange Con
trast to Its Usual Holiday
, Makers.
LONDON, Sept. 2.1.
By every boat refugees fiom Belgium
pour Into Jximlon. Thpy hnve lost home,
money, clothing, nverythlng. ntid but foi
the ready rttnl Ulnilly help ot the War
Itefupccs' Committees would bo both
friendless ami destitute. All thnt cen be
done for them Is being done, mid ninny
houses In the West End and In the
suburbs ot the. city are belm: placed nt
their disposal.
It Is estimated that since the beKlnnliiR
of the war about I'.OiO lofuRees have ar
rived nt Folkstone. The hotels nnd
boarding houses there are crowded with
them, and they fill the streets In every
direction. Hut It Is not tho usual holiday
crowd which Fulkstono knows so well.
These sad-faced people who walk soberly
about or Rather In little groups to discuss
topics which are of absorbing Interest to
them, are not happy, rollicking holiday-
makers nor Is their lansungc that which
Is usually heard nt the picturesque re
sort. Folkstone Is now a city of refu
gees. They hnve come from all parts of
France nnd Belgium, particularly Bel
gium, and In Increasing numbers as the
days have passed. A fortnight ayo 2500
people would have been considered a
large number to arrive in one dny. This
week JOnO Is no uncommon number, and
the vast majority of these have been
refugees.
They hnve been of all cl.tss.c5, the very
poor, who are eared for by the relief
committee, being a comparatively small
proportion. TbouKh every boat frnn. Os
tend and Dieppe now brings a number of
little groups of families, who have evi
dently gathered together all their most
cherished possessions In small bundles,
and with little or In some cases no money
In their puckets, they have come to Ens
land contldent that they will not be
allowed to stnrve.
WELCOME IN" STRAN'GC LAND.
The arrival In Folkestone of each batcTi
of these refugees Is a most Interesting
study and a most Impressive one. Their
Joy upon stepping for tho first time In
most Instances, upon the soli of Eng
land Is always evident. They smile at
the officials, who always treat them with
consideration and respect, some of them
cheer nnd seem, for the moment at least.
Immensely happy nnd relieved.
Folkestone hns seen many hnppy re
unions and many pathetic disappoint
ments In the lust few days. One old man,
" Avho had been separated from his wife In
Belgium, was on the quay the other day
when the Ostcnd boat came In, "There
he Is! There she Is!" ho cried, dancing
about in his excitement, as he explained
to all who weie standing by how they
had become separated, and how he had
doubted It they would ever meet again.
On the other hand there are scores of
people who stand each day for hours out
side tho station gates scanning each
face as people pass out, .and who come
away sadly each night when they are
told that the last passenger has left the
quay.
Last night hundieds of refugees ar
rived at Charing Cross station, most of
them coming from Antwerp. Waiting
for them on the platform were all horts
of willing, kindly helpers. There weie
Itcd Cross nurses. Boy Scouts, Catholic
priests and a host of lady Interpreters,
who had volunteered for the work. A
fleet of motorcars, organized by the War
Refugees' Committee, was waiting to
take tho travelers to their destinations.
EXILES FROM CONVENT.
Not tho least pathetic were a party of
nearly 60 nuns of the order of the Little
Sisteis of the Poor, who had been driven
out of their convents In Brussels nnd
other parts of Belgium. English sisters
of their order were waiting for them.
Only one thing was lacking In the nd
mlrable arrangements made for the re
ception of the refugees hardly any of
the interpreters spoke Flemish. Several
of the poorer people knew no other
language, and there were few who could
understand them Flemish-speaking lesl
dents of London who wish to do what
they can for these punr wanderers have

COMEDY AND TRAGEDY FROM
GREAT EUROPEAN WAR DRAMA
The 10th day of the battle on the Aisne and nearby river valleys, from Noyon to the Lorraine frontier, finds the great armies still lined up in front
of each other almost in a deadlock from one of the greatest artillery duels the world has ever known. While the Germans claim to have retaken the
Heights of Craonne, and to have gained a small town near Rheims, and to have attacked the heights along the Meuse, at Vigneuillcs, which i3 near Troyon,
the French claim that these movements of the enemy were without special result, and that the advantage still lies with the allies, especially in their flanking
movement near Noyon, Lassigny, and on the left bank of the River Oise, where they are threatening the forces of the German right, under von Kluk.
Official reports give no details of this flanking movement, but unofficial place the French van near Peronnc and St. Quentin on the Somme, and a large French
force at Lassigny. The German right has also moved its headquarters north over the Belgian line.
HOLLAND NEAR WAR'S
VORTEX WITH TRADE
OF NATION RUINED
Maintenance of Strict Neu
trality, Economic as Well
as Military, Is Difficult
Task for Little Kingdom.
THE HAOUn. Sept. 23.
Although for the present, the nctunl
scene of war Is moving southward away
from the Dutch frontier. It hardly can bo
sold that the general outlook is con
spicuously brightening for Holland, says
a special dispatch to the New York
Evening Post. Even those who are by
no means alarmists are far from confident
that this country will come out of the
present turmoil unmolested. Various con
flicting Interests and Influences arc nt
work, and the possibilities arc not at all
reassuring.
Obviously, It has been Holland's own
Interest from the beginning to observe
the strictest neutrality. No conceivable
thing could she gain by permitting her
self to become embroiled In the war. The
most extraordinary pains have been taken
not only to maintain neutrality deliber
ately, but to prevent its violation by In
advertence or omission.
Hut her power to maintain this atti
tude Is limited by factors and conditions
inherent in her physical and economic
relations, which nre not fully realized
abroad, and conditional upon the real or
Imaginary Interests of the parties to the
Europntn war.
Should any of them at any hour take
such a view of those interests as to de
mand or commit an Infringement of Hol
land's neutrality, she could defend and
maintain It oven less than could her
neighbor. Belgium.
SLENDER MEANS OK DEFENSE
Resistance might be offcreo against a
coup de main; or even an Invader might
be held at bay at the frontier for a few
days at most. Fortlf cations on her bor
ders she has none to speak of. Holland
has no Liege, no Namur, no Huy, no DI
nant. After a few brief skirmishes at
the frontier nnd at the railway centres,
her troops must retire before superior
force; must evacuate virtually the en
tire country and fnll back upon Amster
dam, with Its batteries nnd Inundations
upon the so-called "Fortress Holland." A
military safeguarding of the territory
against a real Invader is out of the ques
tion. The Dutch army must watch, hour
by hour, day and night. That Is its mil
task.
Hut the Government hns a more diffi
cult task to fulfill. Theirs It Is to see
to it that not tho smallest pretext shall
be afforded upon which either Oormany
or the Allies might base a suspicion of
Holland's real neutrality, or even a fan
cied occasion for a quarrel.
ECONOMIC NEUTRALITY
And here a new and even more seri
ous problem crops up. Resides the mili
tary neutrality which must be maintain
ed, there is tho economic and political
neutrality to observe, which calls for still
ifreater skill and consideration.
The economic neutrality Is a far more
intricate problem to deal with. Here
Holland stands "between the devil and
the deep sea." ....
Like nearly all other small countries,
Holland produces far more than her
actual need, of some commodities, and
at tho same time lacks great quantities
of other goods, such as coal and
cereals In normal times there Is a
lively exportation of cattle, dairy prod
uce, vegetables, and similar provisions
and the money obtained for these goes
a long way for buying corn and flour,
coal. etc.
The output of cattle and dairy prod
uce Is normal that of vegetables ami
frultB Is far greater than norma!,
thanks to the splendid crops, nut ex
portation has come almost to a stand
still. This has disorganized the markets
and us there were no quotations avail
able and both cash and means of
transport were not to be found, all
prices became erratic and oscillated
fiercely for days. We have had famine
prices for a couple of days, and then
everything was falling, falllns, falling'
And of wheat there was none. Not for
more than two weeks was flour avail
able, and the gas plants and electric rail
ways, waterworks and inland shipping,
foresaw the moment at which they would
have to use their last ton of coal. ,
DANGER IN GERMAN TRADE. I
At the moment, the situation is Intrin
sically better Bunker coal excepted, cal
is arriving from both our neighbors and
even small quantities of flour have arrived
In our pert.
But the fact that Holland Is sending
eattl to Germany haa annoyed several I
people, both In Holland and abroad. It
' Is thought by many that this means help-
lug the enemy ot the Allies, nnd thnt It,
therefore. Is n breach of strict neutrality.
Of course, this Is not correct. Holland
1 nlwns ixport-i Its surplus, and anybody
I may buy Belgium, France, Grcnt Britain,
l us well as Germany.
certainly, here is n problem not easy
to solve for the Dutch Government Hol
land on the brink of penury nnd et
under surplclon ot helping one of the
warfnrlng parties. The official measures,
ho ever forbidding of the exportation
of a long list of goods; forbidding of nil
exportation of other goods as soon as the
actual stirplus available for export Is ex
ceeded; the threat ot Doctor Treub, Min
ister of Commerce, that he will confis
cate the entire supplies as soon as some
one acts contraty to the Government
decrees ought to be sufllclent to convince
all parties of Holland's being In earnest.
It Is even understood that unless the
Importation of flour and cereals Is re
stored to normal conditions, the Govern
ment will take that trade In its own
hands and huy nbroad, according to a
fixed schedule of Its wants, leaving the
subsequent distribution to the dealers
only.
To resume: Holland must buy to eat,
but must sell to be able to buy. And
her Government guarantees that this
necessary selling Is done with absolute
Impartiality. Not one article on the
list of contraband, ns is needed by the
Powers, is exported, and nil other goods
can be bought by anybody indiscrimin
ately. Nevertheless, the Ice upon which this
little country stands just now Is very,
very thin!

"FREE PORT" WOULD
MAKE NEW YORK
FREE TRADE CITY
Proposed Plan Would Make
Metropolis a Magnified
Bonded Warehouse In
creased Cost of Collection.
fFBOM A STArFCOnllESrO.SDEM.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. New York
would become virtually a free trade city
should tho campaign being conducted by
the Merchants' Association of that city
for a. "free port" result In the necessary
legislation being enacted by Congress, nc
cordlng to tho explanation given tonight
by F. M. Hnlstcad, chief ot the Customs
Division ot the Treasury Department.
Mr, Hnlstcad was asked by tho Tuplic
LEDr.Ert to comment on the memorandum
sent to President AVIlson by Frederick C.
Howe, Commissioner of Immigration In
New Tork, supporting the cnmpalgn for
the establishment of several free "ports"
In the United States, where cargoes can
be landed and rcshlpped without payment
of duty. Although his attention haa not
been called to the Howe memorandum,
Mr. Halstcad said special legislation
would, of course, bo required to create
"free ports" In this country.
"UndO our present customs system
cargoes can be brought Into port and re
shipped without payment of duty," Mr.
Hnlstcad explained. "These goods are
placed In bonded warehouses, and the
Now York plan might be referred to as
a magnified bonded warehouse, but It
would necessitate the placing of tho cus
toms houses on the outskirts of the free
port, and all imported goods going out
of this zone would be subject to the reg
ular Import duties. Imports remaining
within the zono of the free port would
not be subject to tariff duties.
"Hamburg Is a freo port and has been
for years before the establishment of
tho German empire. Tho ngltatlon has
been going on In New York for two or
three years, but I do not believe that It
has over been suggested that tho entire
city be designated as a free port. Just
what section of the city Is Included In
the present plan I do not know. At ono
time, I believe, the scheme was to make
Ellis Island a free port, and then Staten
Island waB suggested."
Officials of the Treasury Department
assert that the establishment of one or
more "free ports" In the 1'nlted States
would serve greatly to Increase the cost
of collecting the customs levenues. It la
not believed here that the Merchants'
Association Is advocating that Manhat
tan be made a "free port," but that the
plan Is confined to Staten Island or Ellis
Island with tho view ot reshlpplng the
cargoes landed In the "free port" to
Latin-American markets.

NEW YORK LIBRARY SENDS

A grcnt many persons think only of New
York's Public Llbrnry as a hugo build
ing of Imposing architecture at the cor
ner of Fifth avenuo and 42d street, which
contains 1,200,000 books, pamphlets, docu
ments, etc. They never stop to think
that this building Is only the hub of the
system of public libraries which covers
every section of that city, the ccntro of
an exceedingly complex and diverse. range
of activities, all calculated to spread tho
benefits of literature nnd sclf-oducatlon
In -tho city's hundreds of thousanda of
homes. To glvo ono nn Idea of the
library's work It Is only nueccssnry to
say that It publishes Its own monthly
magazine.
Ono of tho most Interesting features Is
In distributing the so-called "traveling
libraries." Some persons think that a
traveling library Is a collection of travel
books, nnd some very odd requests reach
the traveling libraries office.
The biggest of tho traveling libraries Is
Installed In tho Columbia, University Li
brary building. It Includes 30GO books,
supplemented by dally additions of special
books, representing nlmost every subject
Imaginable. Two "community statlonn,"
piactlcnlly branch libraries where no per
manent branch hns been erected, nnd
where the need for ono Is felt, have been
stationed on Staten Island. Cases of
books arc sent to police stations and flro
stations.
In tho Fire Department S3 engine com
panies and 3D hook nnd ladder companies
arc now supplied with books, tho libraries
consisting of about 23 titles each, ranging
fiom works on mcchnnlcal engineering
and fire fighting to novelB by Dumas und
modern best sellers. Last year nearly
40,000 volumes were Issued to tho Flro
Department's men.
Other Institutions which receive travel
ing libraries are the Longshoremen's Best,
tho Sea View Hospital, the Now York
Reformatory and, of course, nil the public
grammar schools and high schools. Fac
tories have also received traveling libra
ries. In fact, qulto a long list of factories
patronize this department of the city's

Almost any ono can receive one of these

to Inaugurate a new system of sales-records that will be of
as much service to you as a map is to a commander-in-chief,
to place your system of filing on a basis that makes your
business data instanUy available,
to substitute card ledgers for book ledgers, thus simplifying
and bettering your bookkeeping department,
to put in operation a better method of keeping track of stock,
so that you will know just where you stand at ALL times.
Gladly will we co-operate with you. For nearly do years we
have been brought in contact with the keenest business minds
in the country. And we should like nothing better than to
apply our knowledge of card and filing systems to the better
ment of your business.
Take, as an example, our new method of filing the "Auto
matic Index" a method that indexes itself, checks itself, is
wonderfully quick and amazingly correct. Details on request.
