PAID A BIC PRICE
British Admiralty Changed
Commanders of the Fleet.
Garden Was Moving Too Slow
ly to Suit 1t.
(By ]. w. T. Mason.

New York, March 20.-The sinking
of the three battleships and serious
damage to two others by the Darda-
nelles defenSes occurred two days after
a change was made in the command
ing admiral of the allied fleet. On
March 16, Vice Admiral Garden was
succeeded by Rear Admiral De Robeck
and on March Is the disaster to the
bonn harding warships occurred.
1t is apparent, therefore, that eau
tious procedure and his efforts to de-
stroy the Notifications by firing over
land from the Aegean side of the Gal
1poH peninsula did not meet with the
approval of Winston Churchill and his
advisers in London. Undoubtedly, it
was decided at London to replace Car
den'S caution with a policy of greater
daring. The result seems to confirm
the suitableness of the tactics of the
original commander.
No other engagement in the war
has resulted in so serious a loss as the
allies suffered on Thursday at the
hands of the Turks. The British and
French fleet cannot afford to lose bat
tlesh1pS at this rate any length of
time, and it is believed a less radical
policy will direct future naval opera
lions at the DardanelleS.
comparison of the damage done
by the forts and mines shows that the
latter are the more dangerous to the
attacking fleet. The three battleships
sunk were sent to the bottom by
aged suffered from shell fire The
seriousness of the mine danger is en-
phasized by the frank admission of
the British admiralty that the ships
went down in areas previously cleared
of mines. 1t is probable that the
Germans sent floating mines down
the swift waters of the Dardanelles
and these did the damage.
The allied commanders seem to
have disregarded the possible use of
floating mines by their adversaries
for the British admiralty says this
danger will require special treatment
Apparently it had not been thought
worthy of special consideration pre-
viously. 1t is probable thai the large
number of warships used in Thurs
days attack caused the units to APP
pear close together, thus presenting
a massed target for floating mines.
The danger can be leSSened by using
fewer ships but with a corresponding
decrease of effective fire against the
land defenses-
1t is impossible to assign craft to
looking for floating mines and tow
them out of harms way since they
do not float on top of the water but
are balanced to keep about fifteen feet
below the surface.
The lesson of Thursdays engage
ment is that the Dardanelles are i'm
pregnable if properly defended. 1t is
evident that if the Turks continue to
show their present skill, CONSTANT
nople will remain secure, unless field
operations on a major scale support
the offensive of the allied fleet.

WORKED TILL MIDNIGHT
Senate Passed Several Measures In
Late Session.

Working until midnight last night
the Kansas senate passed important
house measures and concluded for
noalities in connection with the final
massage of some of the appropriation
hills that have been in conference
One of the educational bills which
has been strongly supported by the
teachers of Kansas which the senate
nassed last night is that providing for
fhe appointment of four inspectors to
travel among the rural schools and as
sist in bringing up standards when
maintain therein. The discussion of
the measure developed a spirit of
antagonism between the rural school
interests and those which center
around the state educational institu-
tons the assertion being made on the
senate floor that discrimination
against primary education has worked
to the injury of the rural districts and
served to keep down the average of
efficiency as compared with other
states.
Increases of the salary of state SUI
perintendent of education from So, 500
to $4,000 a year and his assistant from
$1,000 to $4,000. The four inspectors
to be appointed shall receive salaries
not exceeding $4,000 a year each.

UNIFORM DIVORCE.
Judge Pollock InSinuates That 1t Isn't
Probable in United States.

That a nation wide, uniform di-
vorce law is thing which although
good will never be realized, because
such would be unconstitutional, IS
the evident opinion of Judge John C.
Pollock, judge of the United States
day with Morton Albaugh, clerk of
the court.
A part of this decision which was
rendered in denying the constitution
atty of the national migratory BIRD
law, reads:
There can be no doubt that a uni
form system of laws on the subjects
of marriage and divorce in this coun-
try would terminate many serious
evils and accomplish inestimable
good Had congress the power to so
legislate a few comparatively simple
provisions would accomplish TINS
much desired result.
However, this has been neither
done nor attempted by congress. The
same may be said of many subject
matters of legislation under our sys-
tenn of government lodged with the
states but denied to the nation.
LAS then the will of congress to ac-
complish the much desired result,
without the power of accomplishment.
will not suffice, no matter how great
the exigencies of the case or how I'M
potent the powers of the states 20
protect may be, therefore those pro-
visions of the constitution relied upon
by the plaintiff in this case to confer
the power on congress attempted TO
be exercised by it in the passage of

controlling here before a determination
of the question presented can be
reached
