suit.
Special Study for Each Member.
Each member of the commission IS
70 have a special phase of our educa-
tional system to study. Senorlta Bernai
is TO study the organization of normal
schools. In order to get her knowledge
at first hand, she intends TO enroll as
a student in some good normal school.
Senorita Maria Martinez is to study
kindergartens, Senorita Eloisa Es-
pinosa domestic economy and house
hold arts, Senorita Olivia Espinosa pri-
mary schools, and Sehorita Eulalla
Guzman high schools. On the commits
sion are two men Senior Guillermo de
la Rosa. who is to investigate primary
and evening schools, and Senior Eliseo
Garcia, who will devote his time to
normal schools.
Later, there will be more members OF
the commission. The intention is to have
at least fifty members, and the work
will extend over period of three or
four years at least. The members Will
be stationed in different parts of the
country. Only small percentage OF the
commission will be men. Carranza be-
lieves that the best results can be OBJ
tanned by training women for teachers,
and so they will far outnumber the
| men sent here to study.

Painted Lattice Work Panels.

Instead Of fabric drspery one may
prefer panels of wooden lattice work,
painted or stained to match the rest of
the woodwork and which entirely in
close the radiator. The valve by which
the heat is turned on or off may be out
side Of this lattice work screen. If il
be inside, one Of the panels of the
screen should be made to hinge so that
the valve may be easily reached and
the pipes themselves occasionally thor
oughly busted. If dust be allowed to
gather upon the metal coil its burning
will cause a very disagreeable odor.
Any Of these methods Of concealing
a radiator may be adopted if the radi-
ator is in a corner of the room. A tri-
angular shelf, or one having q rounded
edge upon the side facing the room
may be very easily installed and the
drapery, strings of wooden beads or

work arranged accordingly.

the forging of a grill or screen of
wrought iron or of hammered brass to
effectually conceal the radiator need
not be unduly difficult.
A built-in bookcase or set OF low
book shelves may be placed against the
wall near the radiator and its shelves
be built over and around the pipes; a
curtain may be drawn over the section

Austria's Warning.

In recent months British newspapers
have been filled with criticism Of the man
ner in which the Dardanelles operation has
been managed. The main criticism rests
on the fact that the navy attempted to
force the Straits without the aid of any
land force, failed, and thus warned the
Turks of the coming of an army. When
the army arrived the Turks were prepared,
their trenches dug, their guns placed. The
result was that from the outset the opera
tons on the Gallipoli Peninsula were of the
trench variety, and in four months the ad-
vance has been less than four miles, mile
month.
Now Italy has had to face similar dis
advantage, without having committed a
similar blunder. AS far back as 1909,
when the Bosnian episode first revived an
Gent Austro- Italian bitterness, Austrian
engineers began the work of throwing
round the great permanent fortresses Oh
the Trentne Tyrol and the lower and up
per Isonzo lines of permanent trenches,
lined with cement. Year after year this
work has been carried forward. When Italy
made war on Turkey for Tripoli there
was one political faction in Austria which
advocated an attack upon Italy. AT
that time more military works were con-
structed.
But it was after the Great War broke
out that the most important preparations
were made. By January the new char
acter of war was fully disclosed; in France
and Flanders the great double lines OF
trenches faced each other from the Gate Of
Burgundy to the North Sea. The real
meaning of a war of nations, war liter
allv of the men of nations, of restricted
front. was plain and the Austrians were
prompt to apply the lessons
Early in the present year, when Italy at
last began to make insistent demands for
redrawing of her Venetian frontier, which
should abolish the triumphs of the Aus
trian map makers Of 1866, Austrian mill
tarv leaders took instant alarm. To dlplo-
macy was left the task Of delaying the
Italian attack as long as possible, TO the
engineers was assigned the task OF COM
pleting the fertilization. BY May 23 when
italy at last declared war, diplomacy mad

culties In the war Of 1866 Italy fought
as a German ally against Austria. Her
object was 10 recover Nenetia, the last

Italians meant the province as Napoleon
had carved it, when it was part OF his

her Venice, but the doorways were left TO

Pv FRANK H. SIMONDS.
Author of The Great War.

ON September the first hundred days Of
rolr's war we're ended and the period sup
,rs. a useful measure of the first phase
- the campaign of the Italian troops.
What then. have the soldiers Of the PENN
.,Io Accomplished in 8 span equal to that

France from the collapse Of Waterloo?
Measured on the map, exceedingly little.
n The opening days of this department Of
-, great continental struggle the world
hoard much Of Italian advances. Ala,
Norfalcone Gradisca, Cortina, these were
among the towns redeemed by the lates;
n Italian struggles to realize the unity Of
their race. But these were incidents OF
III. first few days.
Then followed a second set Of names.
Tolmino, Gorilla, Trent and Roverto filled
the Rome dispatches, and the River lsonzo
bscap to rival the Disc, the Meuse and the
f,r rigbtier Nistula in the battle news.
But this was more than two months ago,
and row these same places remain in the
news; neither Tolmino nor Gorilla has fall
en-; the heavy artillery Of the Italians has
not vet reached the forts of Trent. In a
word. the familiar circumstance Of the
western campaign is reproduced in the
south: we have come to the war of trenches
and to the condition of deadlock.
Why has Italy failed to break through
the wall Of Austrian defences and why,
after hundred days, does her firing line
nowhere pass beyond the vision of an OBJ
server standing on the old frontier, from
which the advance began three months
ago? Have the Italians failed, as Berlin
and Vienna claim? Have they failed to
realize just expectations which they and
their new allies might have had at the be-
ginning Of the campaign?
Tho answer to these questions can only
be set forth in a detailed examination of
the Italian campaign. But it is fair TO
say al the outset that Italy's failure, so
far as she has failed, is due to circum-
stances beyond her control, to the geog-
raphy Of her northeastern frontier, to
the success Of her old enemy, Austria, in
retaining the districts south Of the Alps
which are naturally a part of Italy and
were won by the Hapsburgs at the Con-
gress Of Vienna, and, finally, to the long
months that Austria had before the war
came in which 70 get ready.

1t remains now to describe the geograph-
ical obstacle which faced Italian troops
three months ago and still faces them.
Perhaps the simplest fashion to illustrate
the situation is to use the figure of fish
hook. Roughly speaking, the Austrian
frontier resembles fish-hook; the barb is
the Trentino projection into the Pc Valley;
the curve the mountain wall south Of the
Pusterthal from Cortina to Pontebba,
and the shaft the Isonzo front from
Pontebba through Tolmino to the Adriatic,
south of Gorilla. Following this frontier
and behind the mountain wall and the
river is the first line of Austrian railway
connection from Trieste to Trent, dis
lance of between $50 and 200 miles.
