"The process would causo Inflation, but who Is afraid of that In n country of take resources like the United States?" ho asked.

Why Brokerage Houses Succeed (?" A member of a well-known firm of brokers In tho Stock Exchange Building with t lanje and growing clientele possibly gave away tno secret or tno nrm s success then tpeaklng. In a general way, of the Investment brokers of Philadelphia. "Brokers of Philadelphia," he said, "enjoy a deserved reputation for conservatism M advisers. "This," ho continued, "is often at the temporary expense of business. Their ww, however, Is that they are in business" for many years, and not in an attempt It! develop business on erroneous promises. ;W "Pnr n rnnallarnrtln limn" lin snlrt "manv Phllnrielnhla brokftrfl haVA nriul.qpri r clients to keep out of the market. There Is a natural aversion to going 'short' itocka and comparatively little of It Is done in Philadelphia. The result Is there l an absence of buylns and a predominance of selling. There are not a few who fat been persistently affirming that we nre In a 'peace' market. "This expression," he explained, "Is commonly interpreted as meaning a steady ng of prices. Nevertheless, there is a group that contends that this is unwar ranted. They hark back'to the opening of the war, and vow that the prophets and MM of prophets such as were not in total eclipse were all wrong. 1ft "So few men," ho remarked, "foresaw what was coming that they could bo wiped tn the traditional hall bedroom.

LOUIS I'lrritomiAn, sept. : Iltissla Baltic fleet will make a desperate ilifenc of PclroKrnd nnd the bases of Kronntarlt and P.eval. Odlclnl nstirnncea to this effect were Elton today In dispatches to the provisional (!oernment from thr commanders of thoso ports. A most slKnlflcant feature of this Im portant development Is that It shows thut tlio knio nw peril facing Huasla since the fall of Itlgn Is uniting; the liostlle po litical factions. A large part of the llaltle fleet has been under control of the Maximal Isls, who up to tho present have main tained u hostile attitude toward the Keren sky Government. N'AVY IS lOYAIj In addition to the assurances from Kron stadt and Hcval tho commanders of the ports of Sveaborg and Holslngfors, In Fin land, sent out dispatches announcing that "the Haltlc fleet has expressed Its icadlnesi tn show ilespcruto resistance to the (!er niatii In cite they undertake a naval of fensive ngalnst tho Uusolan bases lying between Hlga and the capital " Hcd placanls scattered everj where on walls and buildings today called on all Ilusslans lo do their duty. Troops are pass ing through the streets, en route to the front to repel tho Invader. Hut the popu lace temalns quiet nnd apparently tinwor rled No panic la visible. Iteglments which sesterdas. passed In ie view brforo Premier ICcrenky us they en trained for the front, where the Hermans are now battering forward, drew a trcmeii doui. ovation from tho Petiograd populace Kirensl.y hlmelf wuk rhceri-il to the ithu by the troops and crowds All of the enetgles of the Pouncll of Wotkmen's and Soldiers' Delegates are tn bo thrown to tho support of tlm Ilusslan army. IJvery development of tho last forty eight hoursj emphasized the new nttltudo which tho council has taken and that It will do Its utmost to Insplte the army to Its greatest efforln to smash tho Herman offensives all along tho battle front; Commission were sent to nil sections of the battle line to confer with tho Kus slan commandeni nnd to urgo them to do their utmost ng.ilimt tho Hermans. The president of tlio commission which stcd the fourth and fifth armies In Hu m.inla and on the llukoulna frontier re ported tn the Central Committee today, em phiiHtalng tin gallnntry of the Russian troops In repelling two olfi'tislvo enteipilscs undertaken by Von Mackensen In July and August M Votlnik. conimKsloner to the com mander on the northern end of tho front, reported that the Husslan armlet theie are being leorganb.ed, He added that the litis Klaus vvcic falling back to positions that had been fortified in 'advance. As they fall back from the Itlga settor the Ilusslans aro laying waste the country behind them to Impede the advance of the Hermans. Jloads nre being destroyed, bridges blown up and stores of bupplles burned. The retirement Is being rarrlcd out In orderly fashion, despltn the fact that three Herman armies aro In pursuit. The first Herman army, as It moves forward, Is con solidating tho ground along the coast In tho Ust-Dvlnak sector. Tho advance guard of this nrmy Is evidently nlmlng at Ter nau, on the coast of the Hulf of Hlga, The second Herman nrmy Is pushing forward In the direction of the Pskov road In an ef fort to effect an enveloping movement through tho hole cut In the Russian lines. Tho third army Is making an energetic ef fott to press forward In n notthcasterly di rection toward Ostrov. The Hermans aro beginning to show signs of nervousness which may urlso from tho continual Russian resistance or tho se vero naturo of the svvSimpy, lake-tilled ground they must traverse. COPKNHAOi:.V. Sept 7. Herman foices which captured the great Russian port of Riga, on tho Baltic Sea, aro working with desperate energy trans forming It Into n naval base for extensive sea operations A Herman siiinrrnn has already entered the Hulf of Riga Advices received here today report that a Herman squadron entered the Gulf of Finland, nt the northern end of tho Baltic, on whlcli Petrograd Is situated. Another squadron Is cruising off Reval, an important Russian port nbout half way between Riga and the Russian capital. Thcso naval operations Indicate that Ger many Is preparing to turn her battle fleet to the 1ob of blasting nway the Russian fleet and bombarding Petrograd. Within the last week the presence In the Baltic of submarines, destroyers, mine cvwoners. crulbers and even heavier war ships has been reported, culminating In the dispatches Indicating a German fleet at tho entranco to tho Gulf of Finland. This would put tho enemy vessels about 300 miles distant rrnm reiroKrau. It Germany chooses she can concentrate a big squadron for a sea drive on Russia. The Kiel Canal would permit transfer of any necessary ships now in North Sea Her man ports Into the Baltic. Two great Russian naval depots and fortresses guard tho capital. They are Reval, close to the mouth of tho gulf, nnd Kronstndt, only a score of miles from Petro grad. The gulf itself has been thickly sowed with mines. Part of tho Russian fleet Is known to be at Reval. It Is so far outranked by the German fleet, however, that It Is doubtful If It could impedo any formidable bqiiadron.

Tho case of young Halt canto befoto tho Federal Grand Jury yesterday, follow ing the testimony of John P. IJtvyer, sec retary of Iiral Board No T.2, which Is located In Overbrook.

The Austrlalis are still In possession of tho peak, but all the surrounding supports of this stionghold are gradually falling Into tho hands of the Italians, so that the network of fortifications which tho enemy had spread nlong this section Is little by little being destroyed. In the Ilennada sector the Austrlans have gathered tho flower of theli force, considering It the advance guard of Trieste. Thus their counter-attack around the vil lage of Sclo was most dtspcrute. Tho Ital ians offeied a strenuous defense along the ilrestovlzz.i Valley.
