London, Sept. 24.-Heavy artil-
lery continues to play a leading part
in the battle of the Aisne, which has
been in progress nearly a fortnight.
The opposing forces continue to ham

fed positions with the greatest stub

Almost without a lull great shells
are being hurled across the rivers.
valleys and plains stretching from
the river Disc, in the west, to the

with, as the French official commu-
nications say, alternate retirement
on certain points and advance on
others"
BATTLE LINE LONGER.
The battle line has stretched out
farther westward, the French left
wing having made some progress in
the direction of Noye, northwest of
Noyon. The latter place a few days
ago was the allies extreme left. A
detachment has occupied Peronne,
still further north.
A report from German headuuar-
ters, dated September %, says, how
ever, that the efforts OF the French
to encircle the German right have
had no result.
The French also claim to have
made an advance northwest of
Berry-au-Rac, where the German
line crosses the Aisne, continuing
southeast to Brimont, which has
been the center of many vigorous at
tacks.
GERMANS RETAKE VARENNES.
Along the rest of the line, al
though there have been fierce en-
gagemetns in which both sides claim
victory, the situation is UNCHANGED
except that, according to German re-
ports, the German troops have recap
tured Varennes, which the French
took a few days ago
The Austrian general staff denies
reports Of Russian victories and the
defeat of General Dankrs army The
Austrian forces, the report says,
have been concentrated in a new
position for several days, but have
waited in vain for any serious Rus
sian attack"
From other sources, however. il is
reported that the Russians have
surrounded Przemysi and are be-
tween that fortress and Cracow.
1t may be some days before an
other big battle is fought here. as
one Austrian army is behind the
forts of Przemysi, and the other is
making it's way to the remaining
fortress Of Cracow, while the Rus
slams are taking the smaller towns
\ of Galicia under their wing.

The Quality GrOCerS

Villa are fast overrunning Mexico and
will soon be in absolute control. Such
control will be merely a usurpation of
power by force of arms. Will it be
satisfactory to the United States? VIII
they or either of them be considered
the constitutional head of Mexico? If
not, then what is to be accomplished
by the mediators in further dickering
between the United States and
Huerta?
II the occupation of Vera Cruz by
the United States, the establishing of
a border guard and an embargo on the
shipment of arms, is deemed sufficient
punishment for the indignity offered
our flag, then it seems to us there is
nothing left for the United States to
do but wait until Villa and Carranza
finish the work OF subjugation, then
take up with them the matter of paci-
fcation and constitutional govern
ment. If the steps already taken by
Washington are not sufficient for the
insults and indignities offered, then
let us end this useless mediation and
proceed to Mexico City.

WHAT WILL MEDIATION
ACCOMPLISH?

The three wise men Cmediators)
will journey TO Niagara Falls May IS
and hold a session on the Canadian
side to hear the grievances, sugges.
tons, etc, from the representatives
of the United States and the Huerta
government. After getting these ideas
from both sides it is presumed they
will be enabled to work out plan
for submission to the parties at in
terest, and which in their judgment
will accomplish the ends sought.
The Eagle is perfectly free to ex.
press its inability to understand how
il is expected, or even hoped, to ac.
complish what the mediators set out
to do, with Carranza and Villa left
out of the transaction. The United
States, according to President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan desire only the
pacification of Mexico and the restora-
ton of a constitutional form of gov
eminent. As an imperative and un.
yielding condition in the negotiations
looking to that end, the elimination
Huerta should eliminate himself at
once, how would that help matters?

can tie the railroads hand and foot,
the government will flourish like a

roads are our greatest governmental
factor, our greatest public utility, our
greatest civilizer, our greatest de-
veloper. They should be given the
most favorable and liberal conditions
under which to operate, providing,
however, for the ample protection of
the rights OF the State and the people.

SALARIES OF VAUDEVILLE PER
FORMERS.

In jne May American Magazine APP
pears an interesting article about the
late b. f. Keith, who was the greatest
vaudeville manager in the world The
following extract from the article con-
tains many facts about the salaries
paid to vaudeville performers
Salaries for performers have in
creased amazingly since the Keith era
began. When Mr.. Keith started In
Boston he paid Mcintyre and Heath
one hundred and fifty dollars a week
and this pair of Ethiopian comedians
had to do eight turns day. Recently
the same Mcintyre and Heath return
ed to the same city In the very same
specially, appearing only twice daily,
and at the end of each week found In
their pay envelope exactly $4,000.
About the same time that popular
quartet known as the Four Cohans'
were paid exactly $l25 a week, also
appearing six to eight times day.
Since that time George Cohan has
been offered $4,000 week alone, and
Josephine. one OF the four, was paid
$1,000 week. One can only conjec-
ture what the four Cohans would re-
ceive today, were they to elect to re-
turn to the field where they once la
bored so hard for what they then con-
sidered was big money
mot only are the vaudeville man.
ayers wealthy as result of the Keith
policy, but the day has passed when
performers can be called vagabonds.
Hundreds of the rank and file own
their own homes; there are eight
colonies Of vaudeville actors within
twenty-five miles of New York, where
they have their own homes, and near
ly all have yachts and automobiles.
These colonies are at Fair Haven, N.
j.; Elmhurst, Southampton, Freeport,
and st. James, Long Island; but such
suburban cities as Mount Vernon and
New Rochelle, n. Y, and Stamford,
Conn.,. now have scores Of prosperous
vaudevillians as realty holders.
BY his brilliant move OF inducing
stars from the legitimate stage to en-
ter the new field, Mr.. Keith has pro-
vided the latter with opportunities ga
lore. Lillian Russell gets $1,000 a
week when she makes the excursion
into vaudeville; others to whom Mr..
Keith and his associates pay similar
honorarium are May Irwin, Mrs. Lang
try, Elsie Janis (who not so long ago
was satisfied with 1926 a week from
the same management, and Ethel
Barrymore, the last Frohman star to
enter the field"

the picture of a school building at
Pleasant Hill, costing $4,000; another
was the picture of a school building
at Rowland, costing $4,000 and still
another was the picture of school
building at Petty, costing also $4,000.
Each of these buildings is substantial
looking and rather ornate. They typi-
fly modern standard of construction,
and are, we should say, fifty years in
advance of the typical village school
house in this State.
But the two other pictures of this
group have a peculiar significance.
One of them is of the old school at
Spring Hill, in Lamar County, and the
other is the new school at Spring Hill,
after that district had been consoli.
dated with another district The old
Spring Hill school is literally shack,
a tumble-down which one must think
was fortunate to withstand the
breezes which sweep over Texas in
the summer time. Surely, when ii
rained it must have been necessary
to take holiday. for this old building
is incapable of affording adequate
shelter As an exhibition of print.
tiveness it is eloquent. Between it
and its successor, the contrast is
striking. 1t is larger, it is solid, evil
IDENTIFY, and it is pretty. Doubtless the
old Spring Hill district could have az
forded a better building than it had,
but it could not have afforded half so
good a building as it has erected after
consolidating with another district.
The point of the argument is that the
population of the average school dis
trict in Texas is too small to render
practicable the erection of such build
ings as ought to be provided for the
school children. 1t is only by consoli
dating two or more districts of small
population that such buildings can be
made practicable Nor is this the only
benefit resulting from consolidating.
There is greater benefit in the matter
of increased efficiency and larger ia
culties which consolidation makes
possible. Two small districts by com.
bining can afford more competent
teachers, and they can afford broad.
er curriculum than is possible by one
average school district in Texas.
The problem of increasing the eff.
iicieney of the average country school
in Texas is one of many factors. Con
solidation alone will not effect a com
'plete remedy, But consolidation will
contribute considerably to the remedy
ing of conditions admittedly disgrace
full to the State and it is an easy and
simple measure which lies within the
reach of every small school district.
