French Mark Anniversary
of Battle of the Maine
PARIS, Sept. G.
TODAY was the third anniversary
of the battle of tho Marne the
first decisive engagement of the war
which saved Paris. The day was
fittingly observed here. It was at
the battle of the Marne that the on
ruihing hordes of Ganeral von
Kluck were rolled back to the Aisne
by General Joffre when they had al
most reached the very gaesof Paris.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.
East of Gorizia all Austrian defenses
between San Marco and Santa- Caterina
i are falling before the Italian advance,
according to official cables from Home
r today.
San Marco is about three miles north
east of Gorizia and Santa Caterina is
about two miles southeast.
Both on the Balnslzza and Carso pla-
. teaus Cadoma, the Italian commander-tn.
chief, Is dealing smashing blows at the
Austro-Hungarlan lines In his double
drive toward Lalbach and Trieste. The
principal fighting today was south of
Ocroglo, on the Balnslzza, and between
Brestovica and the Adriatic. Counter
attacks on the Carso front wore broken
Up and more prisoners were taken. Rome
estimates that 37.000 Austrlans have
been captured since tho present offensive
began.

in Smith-Mitten Lease
Use of Increased Tax Returns as Offsets and Explicit
Statement That No P. R. T. Dividend Is Guar
anteed Are Urged Bobtailing
Is Opposed
Ford, Bacon & Davis, consulting engineers to the Department of City
Transit, this morning issued a report, on the proposed Smith-Mitten lease.
"Although concluding that "the present proposal constitutes a business-like basis
of contract," the engineers' report offers a series of proposals which sustain
in detail virtually every one of the contentions of former Director Taylor and
which, if incorporated in the proposed lease, would revolutionize the meaning
and operation of the contract.
These proposals are the essential feature of the report, and the most
vital of them are tho statements that in the contract "a clarifying statement
be made that no guarantee of any rate of dividend is implied" and "the city
should have the right to commute company's payments or appropriations from
general taxation into reduction of fares."
The suggestions for modifications of the agreement made by Ford, Bacon
& Davis are, seriatim, as follows:

Tho right of the city to apply to the commission for a reduction of
fares should be specifically referred to. This Is advisable because
"during tho later years of tho contract it may be possible to operate at less
than a five-cent fare."
The city should havo the right to commute company's payments or
appropriations from general taxation Into reduction of fares. (Tills
Is In accordance with the repeated proposals of Air. Taylor that offsets should
be used to keep the rate of faie down and strikes at one of tho most vicious
defects of the proposed lease ns now written.)
Abolition of exchange tickets: In our opinion a small charge for
transfers between high-speed and surface lines, or for all transfers.
would be preferable to the three-cent exchange tickets, which are used only
In certain localities and are thus discriminatory.
Advisability and coniposltlon of Board of Supervising Knglneers. In
view of the fa?t that the city of Philadelphia has already, established
the Department of-City Translfwlth a complete and efficient' engineering
organization,, which In our opinion Is fully ablo to Join with the company In
the supervision and control of these facilities, and In view also of tho fact
that the Public Service Commission of Pennsylvania is established by law to
pass in a Judicial manner upon any dispute which may arlso between there
two contracting parties, wo believe that so far as possible the details of con
structional operation under the proposed contract should bo left In tho
hands of such legally constituted authorities. On the other hand, we recog
nize the feasibility or necessity of enlarging as far as may be by ordinance
In connection with the proposed contract or by 3tatuto the powers of tho
Department vof City Transit as representing tho city's Interest.
Our suggestion as to this board is that the Director of City Transit
represent tho city nnd that the company appoint and pay for Its repre
sentative who, together with the city's representative, shoulde empow
ered to pass upon problems subject to this Joint control, in case it is found
advisable these two parties Hhould be empowered to add to tho board a third
member appointed by the Public Service Commission, for sucli term ns they
deem desirable, or directed to submit any matter In dispute to the Public
Service Commission. In this way we believe that the workings of the con
tract would be more smoothly and efficiently conducted without chance of
friction between two different city representatives, and with saving of ex
penses to the city.
Control of board over routes already adopted. We believe that it
should be made clear that this does not apply 'to the general features
of routes already adopted by ordinance and referendum of the people. (This
means that the lease should specifically prohibit bobtailing.)
Specific provision as to .company's dividends. AV'o understand that

the Intention of the present proposal is to limit the rate of company's
dividends paid under Item 8 to 6 per cent as a maximum, but as there may
bo some question as to tho wording of Articles XXII nd XXIII In this
connection, wo would recommend, under Item 8, deductions from gross
revenue, Article XXIU, that a clarifying statement bo made 'that no guar
antee of any rate of dividend Is implied thereby. (The firm apparently
understands that there Is no guarantee In the lease. Its recommendation is
Intended to clear up the. doubt and Is of vital Importance. It Is apparent i
that this Important section Is not now clearly worded and that, if no
guarantee was Intended by tho city's negotiators, there was possibly no
meeting of minds with the representatives of the P, It. T. Tho Evisnino
Ledum believes that even the amendment recommended by ford. Bacon
& Davis would not avoid tho guarantee without further and radical changes
In tho order of preferential payments.)
7 Limitation of right of city to furnish equipment. Under the second
paragraph of Article V we would recommend that while tho city re
tain the option to require tho company to supply tracks, third-rail, signals
and rolling stock, It should not be limited by the provision as to the com
pany's ability to secure funds at not exceeding C per cent Interest. In other
words, the city should have the right to' require the company to furnl.sli
these Items at a rate of Interest to bo approved by Councils, provided tho
city did not desire to furnish them at a less rate of Interest.
8 There are several other suggestions of minor Importance which wo
havo brought or will bring to your attention Informally.
While Ford, Bacon & Davis sustain in general Director Twining's conten
tion that tho riders should pay the"full cost of the service, which 13 the view

ADDRESS CONSIDERED
REPLY TO POPE'S PLEA
Vorwaerts, German Socialist"
Authority, States Teutons
Seek No Gain From War
ONLY A DURABLE PEACE
Washington Calm and Without
Peace Thoughts Until Prus
sian Reforms Are Made
Piemicr RIbot, the first French official
to give an expression that could bo con
strued to have any bearing upon th
Pope's peace proposal, mado an un
equivocal declaration today to tho effect
that his country would not consider any
peace which 'questioned its right to Al
sace-Lorralne. France would Insist, h
said, that Alsace-Lorraine was "not a
subject for diplomatic consideration."
Tho Premier's utterance is of particular
Interest In the light of word coming from
Berlin via London with reference to th
probable reply of that country to th
papal proposal. Accordnlg to Vorwaerts.
tho Socialist authority, the German pec
pie desire no gain from the war, but only
a "durable peace guaranteed by Interna
tional treaties."
From Washington comes a calm but
firm note indicating that the President
and Government ofllclals are giving no
thought whatever to peace consideration
nnd that no further discussion of th
matter is pertinent until the situation in
Germany ' compiles with the conditions
set out by. the President in his recent
memorable response to Popo Benedict'
appeal. '
REPARATION'ONLY IS
AIM OF FRENCH 'NATION
FKRi: CHAMPBXOISE. France, Sept. 6.
"France insists that Alsace-Lorraine, la
not a, subject, for. .diplomatic 'discussions,"
declared Premier Itlbot today, speaking at a,
celebration on the battlefield of the Marne.
"France's only claims are in the char
acter of reparation," the Premier added.
rtlbofs speech was the first official utter
ance of Kranee'H position In reply to Pop
Benedict. It was delivered at a celebration,
at once solemn and Jubilant, of the anal
versary of the day when France's soldier
of democracy turned back the Prussian
wave a scant twenty-five miles from th
capital.
Fere Champenolse Is a little villas
twenty miles from Epernay, practically on
the battlefield where the German invading
wave was Anally beaten back.
Blbot dwelt at length on the Issues of
democracy vs, autocracy. He made It clear
that unless (lermany separates her eco
nomic nnd military ambitions sho must deal
with a league of democratic nations, bandel
together to fight economically as well a
by force of nrms.
"In the event that Germany does not
become u pacific democracy," he solemnly
declared, "ulie will be threatened economi
cally by a league for common defense."
Premier Illbot's statement may be taken
as France's explanation of the compact
entered Into by the Allies at Paris recently'
for unity In action after the war in com
merce nnd which President Wilson referred
to Indirectly In his reply to the Pop.
The President voiced America's dlsap--proval
of any pelflsh economic leagues.
SAYS GERMANS SEEK
NO GAIN FROM WAR
BERLIN, via London. Sept. 6.
Germany will tell Pope Benedict the Ger.
man people want no gain from tlio war,
but only a durable peace guaranteed by In
ternational treaties, according to an author
itative forecast published today by Vor-'
waerts.
Tho Socialist organ added that Germany
will hold, if her enemies refuse this sort of
a peace, that the fall of Jllga "is not to bo
the last success of German arms."
"The fall of Illga." the Vorwaerts de
clared, "may be expected to destroy tha
belief apparently held by the Entente
Towers that Germany's peace wIsheB are to
be considered as a token of weakness."
It was the Vorwaerts which recently
voiced the belief that It would- be "dishon
orable" for the German people to refua
President Wilson's stipulation that they
guarantee their Government's peace pledget.
GRANGES APPROVE "HOME GARDENS" -
