DELCAssE, THE STORMY PETREl OF FRANCE

time, as bitter humiliation as men can
meet. It was Delcasse who bore the
brunt of England's wrath over the
Fashoda incident; 1t was Delcasses
political head that was Topped on py
Premier Rouvier at the demand Of
Germany in 1905 because of the for
eign secretary's persistent hostility to-
ward Germany's Moroccan ambitions;
and again in 1912, Delcasse was com
PEELED to resign AZ minister OF marine
at the bidding of the kaiser. In both
of these crises France was unpre-
pared, and the cabinets in ONCE were
not composed of men who dared to
take up the gage of battle. But after
twice submitting to Germany's inter-
ference in her internal affairs. the
strong men of the republic made up
their minds that they would never
bow the knee again. And who shall
say that Delcasse is not largely re-
sponsible for having convinced his fol.
low-leaders of all parties that in some
instances it is better to fight than to
yield? r
Delcasse was born at Painters, In
the southern Ariege, "a miles from
Toulouse, in the shadow Of the
Pyrenees, in 1852. His parents were
peasants, but in sufficiently comforta-
BILE circumstances to allow them to
give their son a good education. He
was graduated at the Sorbonne, with
q literary degree, and was registered
as licentiate of letters. .-'r,r
He was once newspaper man.

attributed the regeneration OF the

special hazards OF work about elcetr,
cal equipment IN stations, at switch
boards, about overhead lines, In arr
lamp attendance. on underground lines
meter setting, testing. and In tunne
or mine work, Each class Of worker
is directed to familiariss himself alst
with the preceding general rulei
which apply to all classes OF electri
cal employment. BY this arrangement
q more adequate and convenient treat
ment has been realized without unnec
essary repetition.
In a carefully prepared appendix
the value Of organized accident pre-
vention work through safety commit
tees, is emphasized as means for re
enforcing the effectiveness of safety
rules. The report on this subject BY
the accident prevention committee Of
the national electrical light associa
ton is briefly distracted, and citations
are made from the reported organiza'
tions and methods Of several large
and small electrical utilities.
The comment Of those commissions,
companies, and workmen whose study
of the subject has been closest, has
been very favorable to the arrange.
ment and substance of the rules given
in this edition. and many have ex-
pressed q desire to adopt them or to
utilize them in preparing similar codes.
The requirements OF different states
and communities should be closely
harmonized to secure the best results
in reducing the accident toll Of electri-
cal service, and the results presented
In this code should be advantageous
in securing uniformity among the state
codes of safety rules. g.
Great advantage will result to COM
panies and workmen alike by the gen.
eral adoption by the several states OF
a single standard set Of safety rules,
which can be REVISED in accordance
with the progress of the art and the
combined experience Of all the COM
panies and commissions Of the country.
Thus will every state and every CON-
pany secure the advantage Of the ex-
perience Of all.
Where particular rules do not ap-
ply their omission will of course cause
no conflict In practice. II 1t Is nee
essary for any state commission to
adopt additional rules, that could be
done at any time by special orders.
This would be easier and less con-
fusing than to have different set
of rules for each separate state.
Acknowledgment is made Of the CO
operation by national associations,
state commissions, company ofhcials
and individuals. The conclusions
reached by the bureau OF standards
from the combined experience OF many
of the most experienced companies
and individual engineers. and a
thorough study OF large amount OF
literature and statistics are now Of
fered with the hope that they will
constitute a substantial contribution
to the widely evidenced public need
for a standard set of safety rules. 1t
is believed that a material reduction
in present life hazards to electrical
workers may be realized by the gen.
eral adoption and use of these rules.
