That a special session of the Legis-
lature to adopt the new Revised Code
of Delaware has been requested by the
Revised Code Commission, and may be
called by Governor Miner, was learned
today. when it became known that Her
bert ii. Ward and 4. Bayard Heisel,
comprising the code commission, had
written a letter to the governor, inform
ing him that their revision and codiii-
cation of the laws Of Delaware had
been finished.
The commissioners suggested to the
governor that a special session of the
present Legislature be held before the
November election To consider and
adopt the laws as revised and recodi-
fed. The commissioners desire the
present Legislature to enact the revised
code so that it will stand intact before
the new Legislature meets in biennial
session in January next.
1t is feared that much of the revis-
ion and codifcation would have 10 be
altered because of changes that might
be made in existing laws before the
code is adopted, should action on il be
deferred until the January session of
the Legislature. The terms of the pres
ent members of the Legislature. except
ing hold-over senators, expire as soon as
their successors are elected in Novem-
Der.

Justice Charles b. Lore, Walter II.
Hayes and Herbert H. Ward. Mr.. Lore
died after giving much time to the
work, and MIR. Hayes and Mr.. Ward
proceeded with the exacting compilation
until death called Air. Hayes. The re-
vision and recodification then was well
in hand and Mr.. Heisel was appointed
by the court as a member of the COM
mission TO cooperate with Mr.. Ward in
finishing the work, which is Of far
reaching Importance to the courts and
to the bar of Delaware. Mr.. Ward has
devoted a great part of the past four
and a half years 20 the revision and
recodiiication, and lawyers generally arc
unstinted in praise of his painstaking
devotion to the project.
As Governor Miller could not be seen
today, it could not be learned whether
he will call the special session. although
it is likely that he Will, with the under
standing that no other business viii be
called up in either branch for consid-
Grafton OF discussion. At the same time
it would give the Senate an opportun-
ity TO confirm the appointment Of a
member of the State judiciary 10 sue

NEW YORK. Sent 2.-( II a. MI
Russias advance on Berlin has been
checked and the encouraging hope of
the allies in the west of a quick Slav
movement into the heart of Germany
is fading. Russia's initial strategy
has failed for the same reason that
Frances first drawn plans were de-
feated. The general STATS of both
countries were dominated by a pas
sion for an immediate offensive at all
costs. and in each case the offensive
was the wrong thing to do at the mo-
ment
Russia has had to halt her march
through East Prussia. probably fifty
miles from the German first line Of
defense along the Vistula, because her
strategists under-estimated Austria's
strength. The persistent penetration
into Poland of Austrian forces appear
TO have belittled Petrograd (to ac-

doubtless was felt a week ago and ac-
counts for the sudden absence OF news
concerning Russias second army,
which was reported TO be moving on
Posen. This army undoubtedly was
diverted to the south to check the Aus
trians, but with such little success
that all Russia's military plans now
have had to halt in the north while
the underestimate Austrian danger
in the south is obiterated.
The distance between the late scene
Of Russia's advance through East
Prussia and her present operations
about Lemberg, in Galicia, is three
hundred miles. Strategic conditions
in the two areas are curiously similar.
In the north, Russia's stationary
troops face the heavily fortified Vis-
tula. while in the south, the two
strong military centres at Przemyl
and Jaroslav. fifty miles west of the
Russian front at Lemberg, bars the
route to the west.
The position of the allies in France
is not unsatisfactory. All the lines
appear TO be holding the Germans, ex-
