EurOpe'S RealignmentS ?

The report from London annoupc-
ing d prospective reconstruction of
the great international allied groups
of Europe is the most significant
piece of news that has come across
the water for many days. The
thought of Great Britain, France,
and Italy in a defensive alliance fair
~ takes the breath away, Yet it is
seen upon reflection that it is the
legitimate outcome of circum-
stances.
In its wake would follow the de-
struction of the old ''Dreibund," the
alliance of Germany, Austria, and
Italy, but that viii die all the easier
from the facts that the Austrians
are now hating the Italians with
considerable vigor and that there
seems TO be little reason for any of
its members TO fear Russia for some
time to come. Japan arranged that
very nicely. Again, England and
France have long been making ewes
at one another, so that a union is
by no means surprising.
Where are the dreams of Germany
in this readjustment? Hundreds OF
ships and millions of men form an
impossible barrier now to the Medi.
terranean, and a port on that ever
open highway of commerce has LONG
been a dream of the war-lord. When
war was threatened with France a
few months ago. the keener ones OF
Europe saw a rapid dash by the Ger
man hosts along the eastern French
border and Marseilles a German
fortress. Wilhelm's intrigues il
Morocco may easily have had partly
that end in view.
Barred to the south and to the
west by the new alliance and to the
north by nature, he may look TO the
crumbling power of Russia or to the
fast approaching dissolution of Aus.

THE HOUDINI EXPOSE
IS NOT SATISFACTORY

An advertised expose OF Harry Hou-
dinTs method Of escape from paper uass
and packing cases was the drawing caro-
that filed the Columbia Theater last
night. Prof Maurice Joyce. a we'll
known local instructor Of athletics, was
billed for the feat Of showing up Inc
Haudcun Kings" method in one branch
of his spectacular vaudeville exhibition
Two escapes" were advertised by
prof J0vce. the first from a sealed
Dapsr .bag; the second from packing
use on which the LID was nailed and
screwed down The performer success
fully escaped" from both. ana, after
an interesting talk on physical training
showed the audience how the tricks
were done
The paper bag he used proved 10 be q
double bag After he had torn his way
out through one side he carefully cut
away the fragments of the paper, leav-
ing an unmudlated bag This, he said,
was the only way in which Houdini
could perform the trick, and the explain
alton seemed reasonable.
1t must be frankly confessed that
Prof. Joyces explanation or the box es-
cape is not satisfactory. His eXplana-
ton uecessitates a sliding panel which
would have 10 be prepared by the maker
or makers Of the box. lie said that
firms who furnished the boxes for ad-
vertlsIug purposes might easily turn the
lob over 10 d carpenter who, of course,
could be seen. This explanation
would necessarily involve wholesale
bribery by HOudinL.
AS reputable firms all over the coun-
try have furnished these boxes. per-

they were specially prepared by their
own employees, caused some Of them 10

is hard TO believe that Prof. Joyce has
hit on the right solution Of a question

audience TO get out Of that box. While

The Atlantic City Horror.

Until a thorough investigation
shall have been made it will be i'm
possible accurately to place the
blame for the fearful electric rail
way accident which cost more than
half a hundred lives on Sunday at
Atlantic City. But the reports thus
far received suggest that along with
most commendable care to employ
every safeguard, there was also un-
accountable recElessness of simple
precautions, and disregard of sim
pie laws of physics which common
experience should make plain to
every man engaged in railroading.
There is reason indeed TO believe
that this accident was somewhat
ike the steamer-train horror in
England a few weeks ago. The best
opinion as tC that accident finally
settled down tc the conviction that
II was simply caused by running
too fast. There is a limit beyond
which speed is unsafe simply be-
cause of the tendency literally 10
fly the track" True. the Atlantic
City train does not seem to have
been going at an excessive speed;
but on the other hand it was very
light and lacked the steadiness that
a heavy locomotive, cleaving the
ball of compressed air before fast
moving train, imparts.
English physicists figured out
that the steamer-train accident was
in part at least accounted for by
outside conditions. Under and in
front a very fast-moving locomotive
accumulates an abnormal atmos-
pheric pressure, whose tendency is
both TO hold back and TO lift up the
weight. One illustration given was
that locomotive running one hun
dred miles an hour literally weighs
less on the rails than if standing
still; which explains an engineers
reason for making a terrific burst
o. speed when Jumping" a weak
cned and dangerous bridge.
There had been warnings that
these Atlantic City trains were too
light for safety. Old railroad men
had insisted that great speed with
them involved dangers that would
not exist in case of a heavy train
Of Pullmans. These warnings, bas-
ed on the simplest knowledge and
experience of physical science,
should have had attention. If, fur
Their. the investigation shall prove
the truth of the allegation that the
rails did not lock perfectly at the
point where the bridge-draw began,
then the case. it would seem, re-
quires some careful explanation and
involves "a serious responsibility
from which there should be no easy
escape. So simple physical aspect
as the condition of the locking ap-
paratus at the draw certainly ought
to have been perfect. Likewise. the
warning against excessive speed
with light and UNPUBLISHED cars
should have had attention.
