Italy Creates New Order.

ROME, Feb. 2.-Italy today formally
announced the creation of a new order
of knighthood to be conferred for dis
tinguished services upon the native in
habitants of its two new African colo
MES of Tripoli and Cyrenacia. The
order is similar to that established by
England in India. and France in Al
geria as a means of winning the natives
over to the support of the new govern
ment. Italy's original order of knight
hood is known as 1.-THE Order OF the
Crown of Italy" and has cross for the
decoration. This would ordinarily have
been the name and symbol of the new
order for the colonies. However, as
the cross is also the symbol OF Chris
the new colonial order will be
known as 1.-THE Order of the Star OF
Italy" in order not to CRATE upon the
religious sensibilities of the Moham-
medan recipient.

AN ADVISORY BOARD.

In the columns of all the great news
papers the country over, increasing
prominence is being given to prob
lema connected with the public school
system Editors and their readers
alike think that the schools of the
country cost too much for what we
get out of them and are firm in the
belief that way can speedily be found
to secure better results than seem now
possible. Just at present the school
board question has dwarfed every 9TH
orally agreed that the present meth
cd of choosing, functioning, and con-
trolling school boards is unsatis-
factory and sometimes vicious. some
few days ago that great school adj
ministrator, Presiden Emeritus Eliot
of Harvard delivered in New York a
remarkable address dealing with the
present inefficient methods in vogue in
that city in the handling of all school
business Some of the suggestions for
changes made by Mr.. Elliott we shall
hereafter consider But we wish to-
day to dwell on one of his minor rec
concentrations, recommendation that
in our opinion could be Immediately
put into profitable effect here in Mos
cow
1t Is Mr.. Eliot's belief that every
school board should have as an ad-
junct to 1t an additional board for
purposes of giving the board of educa-
ton advice and information. This
secondary board would have no au-
thority whatever. 1t would have no
administrative functions. But it
would maintain with the regularly
elected board stated communication
and would at all times be able to fur
nish the administrative, executive
board with details concerning the
work done In the school. The advis-
ory board would visit the schools reg
ularly and frequently.
Such scheme, we think, might
very well be worked out here In Mos
COW. The duties of our unpaid school
board are already too great.
In addition to all the other tasks
imposed upon them anything like sys-
tematic visiting of school is too much
to expect or to ask. Doubtless a
great many competent persons deeply
interested in the welfare of our
schools could be found who would be
willing to attend sessions of the
schools fairly often and act in an ad-
visory capacity at the regular meetings
Of the board. Such plan would at
least insure to the board view OF
school matters not furnished by its en-
ployees.
AS such plan would cost nothing,
could harm no one, and might bring
about much more efficient handling
If school matters. would it not be
we'll worth trying?

Two Star Bouts ut Youngstown.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. 2.-For the
first time since January 6, when the
lid on local boxing was shut down
hard and tight, local fight fans tonight
will see the reopening of the game
with two star bouts that are of nation
wide interest.
The more important of the two will
be between George Chip, recognized by
many sporting authorities as the mid
dleweight champion, and Leo Houck,
of Philadelphia. Houck has wanted a
try at Chip ever since the latter boxed
his way to the late Stanley Ketchels
throne. Chip was favored in today's
betting. The fight is scheduled to go
ten rounds.
The other important local bout to-
night will be between Jack Britton and
Kid Kansas, of Buffalo. The Sun
flower Kid" has been going at a great
pace for six months and a rafting
fight is looked for. The. bout is set
for ten rounds

Some weeks ago there was waged
in Chicago a great campaign to make
everybody in that city attend church
on a certain Sunday. A great many
skeptical remarks were made about
the permanent value of such scheme,
but it took thrifty German butcher
to phrase the feeling with exactness.
On Saturday he hung in his shop
window a sign reading: go to church
on Sunday, aber don't forget to pay

discard. The secret service agents

| Investigations, and to ferret out GUS

This fact, which undoubtedly will
prove disconcerting to the novelists
and romance writer's, came out when
estimates of the war department re-
Gently published for 1914 failed to car

spies" Battle SCARED war generals
and majors, upon being questioned re-
garding this commission several days
ago, furnished the further interesting
fact that during 1913 not single mil

In discussing the passing of the mil

at the war department. soldier, by
the way, who has seen his share of
active service lodging bullets-was

to the science OF war.
He pointed out the fact that the next
war between two world powers will
find no small amount of fighting both
high in the air and under the oceans
surface, by virtue of the near-perfec-
ton of the aeroplane and dirigible, and
the submarine.
