Alliance, handed to the Porte protest

the mind in which now flashed the
vision of her incongruous life; the life
of Queenly woman lived in the en-
vironment of the bourgeois; he read
scorn for the exacting demands of that
life; inherent aversion to its petty
economies and sacrifices; and he read,
too, behind the firm lines of a pretty
mouth, the stability and strength of
character that had enabled her to
combat these conditions. Here was a
woman, he realized, who was fitting
companion and an efficient colleague
for a man like himself; woman who
would walk hand in hand with Ambi-
ton, meet the test and revel in the re-
ward. She loved her husband, and
love, the great leveler of all caste,
spanning all chasms, filling in the little
voids in each hiatus, had held her
down to Reynolds level and made her
what she was-a true and loyal and a
sympathetic wife. Not that Reynolds
was so plebeian; he was Of good stock;
we'll educated, industrious. honest and
lovable. Mentally, he was Of true
steel, big and solid; ready to with
stand the worlds rebuffs. But the
keen intellect of his wife was of finer
mold; steel, too, but tempered, not
only to repel, but to strike back and
cut through.
There came to Brand. now, as there
had come to Jane the full force of
Reynolds gaucherie "I-camot-have-
you-interfere" - truculent, calamitous
phrase that stung and wounded and
broke down the sympathetic bonds of
forbearance. He saw them strike and
saw her harden to repel them. The
man of the world smiled; smiled with
in himself. but not for them; smiled
at poor Reynolds, for whose welfare
he was so solicitous; smiled at his
own success and stepped toward his
coat and hat. His work, the systems
work. was done.

London. - Except for the Army,
which has been attacking Verdun, the
German forces in France have fallen
back all along the line, according to
the French official report.
From Nancy to Vosges they have
withdrawn from French territory,
while on the extreme right General
Won Kluck and General Won Buelow
continue to retreat to the Northeast
before the French and British, even
giving up their defensive position on
the River Aisne, between Compiegne
and Scissors.
Further west, the German detach-
ments that hold Amiens have moved
northeastward to try to rejoin the
German Army of the right at St
Quentin. 1t is possible that all the
Germans in Northwest France have
done likewise; otherwise they would
be in danger of being cut off in the
center.
Another defensive position, behind
Rheims, has been given up and in the
Argonne region a general retreat is
taking place toward the forest of Bel
noue and Triancourt.

A Complaint To The State Board OF

Education To Be Investigated.
At a meeting of the State Board OF
Education Frank A. White, chief OF
the State Bureau Of Labor and Stats
tics, complained that some Of the in
dustrial schools are working their in
mates on the contract system, in viO-
1ation of the law. AS result Of the
complaint State Superintendent OF Edu-
catiGn M. Bates Stephens will make
tour Of inspection Of the institutions
named by Mr.. White. The latter de-
clared that in some institutions the
young children are put to work early
in the morning and are employed at
manual labor until midafternoon. This
work, he added, is maintained by the
school heads to be part Of the chill
nren's industrial education. Mr.. White
also pointed out that by this long en-
ployment at manual labor other
branches Of education required by the
State for children are neglected The
Educational Board also heard and dis
missed the appeal Of Roger G. Harley
against the frederick County School
Board Harley was removed by the
county board from the principalship OF
the public school at Brunswick. The
board maintained that Harley had
signed contract for one year, In which
he waived his right to appeal to the
state board. The latter sustained this
contention. Mrs. Clarissa Berry, Of
Baltimore county, also appealed to the
board for the issuance Of a life certif-
cate as a teacher but she was turned
down, as the Baltimore County Board
has refused to issue her a new license
for one that recently expired.

in good position to continue the Of

based on a strong line running from
the Marine to the fortresses, through

again fall into the hands of the Allies,
the Germans would have only one line

German output ~ - q month. with an
aoroplans for each Of these engines, Ger
man military aviation activity breaks eli
records.
The number Of pilots TO ~ these ma
chimes is greater than the aviation corps
of any other nation because Of Gerlnany's
policy of encouraging civilian flying
schools. Under this system each ssYo-
plane firm of any importancs had q GER
tain number Of soldiers. mostly ofacers,
but some privates and non-commissionsd
officers allotted to It's school to be trained
by the FIRMS own pilots.
The training Of these military flyers was
paid at a rate that enabled the COM
panies to use the best machines and pay
high wages TO their pilots The firms
could afford to provide comfortable quar-
ters for their pupils and in other ways
to do things ON a scale which does not
exist in any other country.
In order TO stimulats progress in avia-
tion military aviators were encouraged
to enter the big flying competitions, and
various Government departments gave
handsome prizes. For this reason there
were 30 starters in the Prince Henry COM
petition this year, while tho big London
to-Manchester air race in England about
the same time brought out only six
starters.
1t is now practically certain that ths
German and Austrian air scouts together
Outnumber all the French, Russian, Brit
ish, Belgian, Servian and Dutch aviatofs,
so that in the aerial end of the war Ger

the defense of objectives or small area
such as batteries and stores, against
aerial attack is easy, though 1t will cost
some money. The defense of those large
areas, especially the capital, cannot be
relied on except by active offensive opera
tions.
LAS regards London, some will say that
such forms of attack as 1 have indicated
would be ineffective in any case, and
they would point out the bombardment
of Paris in 1870. I have always until re-
Gently taken that point of view. I have
always held that bombardment, however
severe, was no justification for a fortified
place, but the evolution of missiles OF
war have gone long way since 1870 and
In the case of London hostile action
against 1t would not have direct effect
on our operations of war.
Another school will take me to task
for accepting such possibilities as use of
incendiary protectiles against an unforti-
fled town. l may be quite wrong. If
were responsible for the safety of this
town l would say that the safeguard is
one cannot too often repeat it-offensive
action.
when We consider the effective pow
ers of the dirigibe balloon together with
the difficulty of wardng off it's attack,
we must allow that there have been few
moro potent instruments of destruction
known to history. On the other hand, of
all the weapons ever devised by man this
is by far the most fragile and most vul-
nerable. / believe that, whatever the flu
ture of the dirflgible may be for all the
uses of peace, in a few years no
one will think of employing it for war.
But for the moment 1t must be provided
