Into this NAV. between the fortifi-
cations Of Warsaw and Novo Geor-
gievsk, Won Hindenberg must now
venture. If he Is outflanked. or 10
caught in the rear, he will be driven
between the fortresSes and against
the Flstuia with a catastrophe inev-
liable.
In favor of the risks Won Hinden-
berg is running. is the fact that no
one of the Slav commanders has
shown n capacity for directing q
coup Of this nature. Nevertheless,
the fact remains that at no time
during the war has there been so
splendid an opportunity for a devas-
tating stroke as Won Hindenberg is
now offering the Russians.
On the other hand, no such daring
has been shown by anyone in the
east or west comparable to Won Hin
denberg'S present drive. The risks
are such that probably nobody but
Won Hindenberg would accept.
His own army is certainly outnum-
bered two to one. if not more; while
the Russian roads are in poor condi-
ton, making German advantage
through natural mobility exceedingly
difficult to develop. Won Hindenberg.
however. Is of the type who revels in
such handicaps. His open criticisms
of the kaiser's strategy at army
maneuvers during peace were what
caused him to be on the retired list
when the war broke out But he
and the Kaiser made up their differ
ences in the face Of the national
ahead to win the title Of prince
which will be conferred on him il he
preserves eastern Germany from q
Russian invasion.

Vessels Went Down With
Their Crews.

DETROIT. Mich. Nov. 23.-That more
than half q hundred lives were sacri-
ficed in the terrific gale that for near
ly a week has been sweeping Lake
Superior was the belief of lake men
here today following the receipt of ad-
vices from Superior ports to the effect
that three vessels are known to have
gone down and an equal number may
have been lost
Wreckage picked up on the Superior
south shore today made certain the
loss Of the steamer Curtis and her

boats carried crews totaling twenty

Attack on England
Or French Coast Expected

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Extreme activity
of the Germans along the Belgian coast
and reports indicating that warships
are about to move from Emden are
causing the greatest uneasiness here
today. An invasion from the sea is
now expected by the allies.
The greatest mystery surrounded the
movements along the Belgian coast.
Military experts here express the belief
that this activity in Belgium may be a
part Of a plan for the establishment OF
bases for a daring raid upon London
or the forerunner OF a movement to
engage the allied fleet off the coast and
under this cover endeavor to trans
port troops by sea to the French coast.
The entire population Of the Belgian
coast towns of Zeebrugge and Knocke
has been transferred to Bruges by the
Germans The people were not per
nitted to move into Holland Bruges Is
now said to be garrisoned largely by
slightly wounded, soldiers, the others
having been moved toward the front.
The Washington times., 1914-11-23

Reports have been received that six
submarines are being put together at
Zeebrugge. The inha abitants of st.
Nicholas, city of 40. 600. between Ant
werp and Ghent, have been ordered to
leave Immediately. st. Nicholas is an
Important railroad junction.
The people of the town We're ordered
to move to Antwerp. where they were
told unoccupied houses originally aban-
doned by Belgians who fled from the
cit~ would be turned over to them.
Reports from The Hague declare that
fighting is now centering around Mid
dlekerke. midway between Ostend and
Nieuport. South of the city there has
been battle OF great ferocity, the
German and allied forces resorting to
the use OF the bayoner.
When the garrison of Bruges was re-
lieved by the lightly wounded soldiers
that the sound troops might be rushed
to the front, the wounded men marched
into the city singing. This change in
the Bruges garrison was made Friday.

A Berlin chaudeur named Paul Ku. gelmann found E65OO in notes and gold in his taxicab. NO one cane forward to claim the money. and the chauffeur. setting aside temptation. reported the matter to the police.
 This huge sum remained, according to German law. in the police's keeping for year. after which the finder could claim the fruits of his good fortune But when Paul Kugelmann presented bis claim he was told that various oth- CT claims would have to be settled first Since the money had been found in Berlin, the Berlin municipality was to receive f1.500.

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON
Progress at Washington.

| st' H. ETOSTCSS ok VdShiiiEtOus
 The great event of this week has been the hearings before the Judiciary Com mittee at Washington OH the woman suffrage amendment to the United States Constitution. This is the fourth time within year that suffrage hearings have been held at Washington. The first hearing was before the suffrage Committee of the Senate on April 18th, 1913. AS a result of this hearing. and of much active work by the women in Washineto the Women Suffrage Oom- mittee brought In favorable report on the amendment to the Senate.
 The other two hearings were. in favor of the appointment of a Woman Suf- frage Committee of the House. that the amendment might be considered by a committee not so overloaded with work as is the Judiciary Committee. The first of these was an informal hearing in August, held in order to allow the women who were in Washington for a confer ence of the National Council of Women Voters to appear before it and plead the cause of the unenfranchised women. The second was in December just after the opening of the first regular session of the 63rd Congress. At that time the National Suffrage Association was hold ing it's annual Convention in Washing ton and suffrage leaders all over the country were there to plead for Votes for Women.
 Since then the request for a Woman Suffrage Committee of the House of Representatives has been refused by the Democratic party in Congress. A caucus was held on the question and by It every Democrat in the House was bound to take the attitude decided upon by the party. Failing a special committee. the women asked bearing from the Judici- ary Committee to which the amendment in the first place had been referred. The next step will be the report to the House of this Committee. Press Sec.

 The hearing for the anti suffragists was conducted by Mrs. Arthur M Dodge of New York, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suf- frage.

Learned "Books And Stuff :"

The public school is founded on cen- tury-old traditions. Its methods are purely academic ; it's aim, culture. The public school from start to finish, is one grand system. It has made of this system a sort of fetish. Nothing must be done to disturb the system. No pro. fane hand must touch this sacred thing. Any parent who has tried to secure cer. tain changes on behalf of his child will recognize the wall of adamant which surrounds the public school system. Culture being the established aim of public instruction, utility has been large ly overlooked or ignored. A boy in the lower grade was asked:
 What do you go to school for?"
