New uEk IINtnlHS vi ALL.
Ever since the terrible days of No
vemhcr and December, 1870, when
the German army campcd at the very
doors of Paris, the French have been
building forts to withstand the Ger
man armies.
All of France is heavily fortified,
but about the city of Paris in par
ticular has all the ingenuity of the
French engineers been applied to an
initiate any army that might again
reach to the capital.
Should invading Germans break
through the network of frontier
forts, should they come through Bel
gium and escape the artillery of the
French army. should they eject to
skirt the heavily fortified cities and
hills and strike at Paris, then
these invaders would meet a ilne of
Notifications the like of which the
world has never seen.
The network of forts about Paris
contains so many minor forts that
none but those at the French war
office knows their actual number and
strength.
The tourist who visits the coun-
try frequently comes upon Y little
clump of trees about which the
ground is uncultivated, the grass un-
cut and the weeds rank. If he
moves close to the clump of trees
he gets a glimpse of a block of mas
onry that reminds him of some neg
lected ruin.
IF he tries to find out what sort
of ruin it is and walks up to the
clump of trees ne see~'n0t neglect

Lakeland Loses
Another to Brewster

Inability to hit the pill and one
lonesome error cost Lakeland the
game yesterday, Brewster defeating
the locals by the score Of five to one.
Brewster made her first two rms ON
clean hits in the fourth With three
on base in Lakeland's half of the
fifth neither Spivey nor Watson
could connect. In BreWster's half
of the seventh with two on base
Billy Garlets threw the ball to the
coacher instead of to Watson, let
ting in two runs and one more came
in before the inning was over, Mills
pitched a fine game striking out nine
men and allowing only five hits.
Gillespie was touched up pretty
hard at times but had his fellow
PLAYERS been able to connect the
game might have gone the other
way.

THEIR KRIECSPIEL
The German Retreat in Poland Held
Another Illustration of Military
Genius.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: How many people remember
that Frederick the Great ran away from
his first battle? It is a very useful
fact to bear in mind when reading dis
patches from the front; not as any
commentary on Prussian valor, but as
evidence Of the extreme difficulty of
telling what is actually happening until
after il has happened. The man who
was to become one of the greatest gen
erals in history while his army was
winning a victory mistook it for de-
feat and scampered off to the rear to
avoid capture. Can We wonder, then,
that the correspondents with their linn
tied facilities for observation, get
things sadly twisted?
The most glaring instance of this
misleading OF facts we have had lately
is found in the German retreat from
Poland. The Russians were chasing
them pell-mell back to the frontier, and
to the men behind the Russian front
the speed of the Germans retirement
spelled the degree of their demoralIza-
tion. As matter of fact, 1t should
have done just the contrary. The more
disorganized great army is the slower
il moves. Half a million men can be
got over the ground swiftly only when
all component units are intact and the
staff organization working smoothly.
And now from Petrograd comes Off
cial proof that the German retreat was
in fact, as Berlin claims. quite as
brilliant a feat as the English retreat
from Mons. Ii was a beaten army,
much larger than the English and NOV
ing over worse roads, retreating with
a powerful foe on its heels. But read
the detailed statement of the way they
tore up the country behind them; how,
with German thoroughness, they not
only felled telegraph poles and cut
wires, but destroyed the insulators.
Even the smallest bridges" says the
Russian General Staff, were damaged
in such way as 10 make repairs i'm
possible"
A demoralized army does not find
time for such careful attention TO de
tail. IL is much more apt 70 leave
some Of the bridges standing and blow
up others with part of its own troops
still on the wrong side.
And definitely 20 prove how COM
pletely the German forces preserved
their morale We have their victory to

BOOKS ON THE WAR
Suggestions from a Reader for Those
Who Wish to Inform Themselves.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As an old teacher may call
the attention of your readers TO the
series of "Oxford Pamphlets, 1914" on
sale at the Oxford University Press,
81 Fifth av., New York City? They
give clear and simple presentation
of different phases of the present Euro
pean struggle both in the realm Of
facts and ideas. The authors are well
known in letters, and in many cases au-
thorities in the subjects they treat.
Some of the titles are: india and the
War" Trevelyan; THE Value of Small
States" Fisher; SERBIA and the Serb
ians," Chirol; Germany and the Fear
of Russia" Chirol; "The Germans,
Their Empire, and How They Made IL
and "The Germans, What They Covet,"
Fletcher; "Just for Scrap OF Paper"
Hassall, and "The Eastern Question"
UrQuhart.
Also may | suggest that Germany
and the Prussian Spirit" published by
Macmillan, and on sale at 81 Fifth av.,
New York City, is almost indispensable
to an understanding Of the Germany
which is now expressing itself in this
war; To this same series Sir Donald
Mackenzie contributes "0ur Russian
Ally" L. S. w. PERKINS.

Mr.. Osborne's Work at Sing Sing.

In conserving to become warden of Sing Sing
Mr.. Osborne has undertaken difficult task
which must be carried out under trying condi-
tons. He can gain no glory. He will scarcely
be able to preserve his present reputation unless
he induces the Legislature to appropriate money
for temporary physical betterments IN the old
sink called by courtesy prison, and follow that
bv more money for a substitute for the present
Sing Sing. however patched up.
The state owes Mr.. Osborne thanks for &C
cepting this commission. He is abundantly quail
fed for the work in knowledge, experience, ideas
and ideals. How far he can carry out those
ideas and ideals for prison reform depends on
other men in the state government as we'll as on
himself. 1t is certain, however, that while he
is warden no Tammany political crew IN alliance
with a drug ring will dominate the prisoners
and employees and no convicts will "Joy-ride"
around the countryside. He can, and will, stamp
out brutality and petty graft. These things IN
themselves will 90 far toward making the prison
an agency for reformative influence, rather than
a university of crime, turning out men worse by
far than they were when they entered 1t.

No More Gas Mains on Trestles.

The real estate interests are justified in their
demand that the Board of Estimate sanction no
future subway contracts until it is definitely
agreed that gas mains and other conduits shall
not be carried along the street on trestes. Espe-
ciallv is this true of lower William and Nassau
sts.. soon to be given over to subway construc-
ton. These are narrow and crowded streets,
lined with valuable property. The example of
deterioration of real estate along Broadway,
where the treste system has been in use, should
be warning enough against anything of the
kind along Nassau and William SITS.
To Judge from the fact that most of the sub
way work has been done with gas mains and con,
duits carried along below or at the street level,
there seems to be no engineering necessity for
the treste scheme, save, perhaps in special loca-
tons. Even unusual difficulties should be over
come when streets like William and Nassau
the city's busiest and narrowest downtown-are
involved. There should be definite stipulation
on this matter between the Public Service Com
mission and the contractors. 1t is a good thing
the Board Of Estimate has decided to have
public hearing to thrash it out

a Start in Vocational Training.

The opposition of the Board of Aldermen to
the engagement Of experts to introduce sys-
TEN of vocational training in our public schools
is easy to understand. Jobs belong at home is
the motto of these excellent politicians and the
mental picture of $4,000 going outside the city
and into the pockets of educators hailing from
the Middle West outraged their every instinct
Nevertheless, we think that the Mayor will pre-
vail and the appropriation be granted.
There can be no question of the vast impor-
lance of the project in view. That it will be
worked out to complete success at once seems too
much to hope for. But that our schools are hope
lessly behind the times in this line of training
and that its development should constitute the
next great constructive advance in American
education cannot be doubted. Germany has led
the world in such work. Probably we bring up
the rear. The engagement of expert advice of
the character proposed by Mayor Mitchell is the
logical foundation for the work SO sorely needed
and promise Of sound experiment and small
beginnings, at any rate.

\ Poor Time to Withdraw from Mexico.

Villas march to Mexico City has not thus far
met with serious opposition. There has been
rush to ioin his standard, the opposition SEEM
inglv being imbued with the idea that here was
the next master of Mexico-the new Diaz, the
logical successor of Huerta But battle ap-
pears inevitable and open warfare is again the
order OF the day. Carranza, retiring from Mexi-
co City, promises TO be menace TO the peace OF
the country for some time to come.
In this state of affairs the withdrawal of our
forces from Vera Cruz, set for Monday, seems
most unwise. The agreement for their departure
was predicated upon peace between the rival
contenders and the assurance of orderly condi-
tons. II was also based on pledges given by
Carranza, which he may not be able TO redeem
Peace has given way to hostilites and order
appears to be further away than ever. Our obi
CATION to Carranza is certainly at an end, and
we have the right to consider the Vera Cruz
question afresh.
There is every reason why President Wilson
should postpone his eagerness to bring American
soldiers back to American soil and should leave
them where they can be of considerable moral
weight in improving the fortunes of our fellow
citizens in Mexico. Had troops never blum
dered into Vera Cruz there might be another
story. But they are there and should remain
there until American lives and property are
reasonably safe.
When that millennium will arrive, under the
administrations policy of confding first in one
rebel chief and then in another, and being
laughed at by both. no one can say The rosy
dream which pictured COnstitutionaism as ready
to reign again in behalf of the peon has definitely
faded out If Mr.. Wilson can find capable
successor for Huerta he will doubtless be more
than content.

Sir: Permit me to commend your
new service of guaranteed advertising
This is the biggest step for the ad-
vancement of the cause of honest ad-
vertising in the newspaper field that
has come to my notice. So far as your
columns are concerned, there is moth
ing more that can be done for the pro
lection of your readers. Do you not
think it would be well, however, to set
forth prominently and in detail the
salient facts in the numerous fraudu-
