WAR WAS BOUND TO COME

Let me quote only two incidents out of many
which show that the Austro-Servian war was
only the spark that set off the explosion which
was bound to anyhow. says writer in the
outlook. The first illustrates the Russian at
titude When in the spring of this year the
aggressive tone of the Russian press and OF
numerous public utterances assumed un-
precedented violence. Professor Hans Delbruck,
the editor of the Preussische Jahrbucker, a
periodical which might in general character and
standing be compared to the Outlook wrote to
Professor Paul Won Mitrasanoff, who had been
student under him in Berlin University at ono
Mitrasanoff's reply was published in June. It
Is sober, scholarly statement of facts. II
gives the history of the relations of the two
countries and tells of the Russian will to
possess Constantinople, and then says: 'It has
become clear to the Russian now: II things
remain as they are now, the way to CONSTANT
nople leads through Berlin Vienna is only of
secondary consideration" In other parts OF
the letter the Germans read of the instructive
but the persistent antipathy of the lower
classes for the 'Niemzy'" contemplate name
given to the Germans by the Slavs), OF deeply
rooted antipathy against the German character
and ways" and forth. Professor Debrucks
comment on the letter was as unpassonate
and sober was the letter commented upon.

GEOGRAPHY A PUZZLING
PROBLEM in SCHOOLS
WHILE THE WAR LASTS
Acting Superintendent Jacobs Re organ
izing Course and Giving Asia Preced-
ure Over Europe in the Teaching.

with q view to accommodating geographical
instruction to the results OF the present war
in Europe, DR.. William G. Jacobs, acting Super
intendent Of Schools, is rearranging the courses
in that branch of study. This is relief to the
teachers. who face puzzling situation as long
az the map is In q fair way of being materially
changed
Doctor Jacobs idea Is that the may be
settled before the geography classes get around
to Europe The pupils in the schools have all
China, India, Eastern Siberia japan and the
Pacific islands to study FIRST, at any rate. BY
that time, Doctor Jacobs hopes, peace may
have progressed SO far that blackboard maps
and hurry slips got out by publishers can be
used. The Powers can fight until the end of
January without upsettng geography courses
in Philadelphia schools, he figures.
Usually the geography classes begin by
studying Europe and then go to Asia" said
Doctor Jacobs today. But / have issued or
ders that they shall begin on Asia instead.
Europe is usually covered by the middle of
October. But under the new system the classes
will not begin studying It until January" Ev-
erything in the book will be gone into thor
oushy before Europe is mentioned according
to Doctor Jacobs
Geography books will not be wasted, no mat
ter what happens in Europe. Whenever there
leaf corrections, and these pasted over the
old ones" he explained. I'VE have about 100000
Biographies in use, but reason to think
that any OF them will have TO be discarded"
Even II the armies still fighting when the
geography classes get to Europe the teaching
staff will be ready to meet the situation.
I'm that event" said Doctor Jacobs, teach
ers will be instructed to omit all references to
boundaries and to confne their efforts to topog-
raphy-the mountains. rivers and lakes" spe-
cial stress will be laid the study of all
nmovable features of the landscape and the
boundaries will be passed over with as little
trouble as possible.

the emergency as quickly possible, though

may print slips but there is disposition to
wait until the war has progressed further and

DELEVAN'S COMET
Sky Visitor, Like Others Said by Supersttious
to Accompany the Wars.

Every war in history has had its comet, and
1t Is to be the privilege of Paul T. Delevan to
nave his name attached to the comet of the
present struggle Although at the time Mr. Del
evan made his discovery at La Plata Observa-
tory, In Argentina, eight months ago there was
no sign of trouble the travelling body has be-
come steadily brighter, and astronomers predict
that it Will be visible to the naked eve during
the present war in Europe
When Mr.. Delevan first saw the comet. on
December II, 1918, 1t was 37O,O0OO00 miles away
from the sun and was not very clear even with
the telescope Now 1t is about 20 0oO0 900 miles
away from the sun and be seen with opera
glasses in the northeast section of the sky late
at night or early in the morning. Scientists
have said that the comet will be observed in
telescopes for about six years. 1t will come
nearest to the earth in October, when it will
be about l7000,oO0 miles from the orbit of the
globe.
The tail of Delevan's comet is a bushy one
and is about three degrees long. The new comet
Is not far from Capela and from Castor and
Pollux. During the Franco-Prussian war the
comet Tempe III was visible Olbers comet was
the one which was at the time Napoleon
suffered his downfall at Waterloo. During the
Husso-Japanese war Brooks comet was visible.

CANIELS IN THE WAR

From the Strand Magazine

has for centuries figured in the warfare OF the

that devised by the conqueror. TamerIane.

son Of a humble Asiatic chieftain, rose by
sharpness OF wit and strength OF arm TO be
master OF p kingdoms extending from what
Is now the region of Moscow clear through In

mighty warrior. In those days men fought
with brute force rather than with engines of
war The sword was the chief weapon OF
onense.

himself potentate over the immediate nations
