The Prize Court has granted leave to APP

carried by the Swedish steamship ''Zamora"
which the court empowered the War Office
to requisition. Counsel, in asking for leave
to appeal, said he was instructed TO make
the request on behalf of three scandinavian
Governments. Sir Samuel Evans, President
of the Admiralty Court, declared that this
point was worth argument elsewhere, and
he therefore allowed the appeal. The ma

apprehensive that by the Orders in Council
the British Government would violate Inter
national Law so that it would be necessary
for British Prize tribunals to refuse obedi-
ence to such orders.

Vosgos the French have crossed the Feoht
river, this advance being conceded in q Ger

paign is developing into one of the most des-
perate since the war began. The so-called
labyrinth, south of Melville Saint Vast,
which the Germans fought to retain with q
tenacity unequalled at any other point, fell
into the hands of the French on Saturday,
the victory being possibly the greatest since
the Spring fighting began. The losses on
both sides were enormous. Since the 10th
of Mey, when the order to take the labyrinth
inch by inch was given, there has been fight
ing every minute, and the entire Series of
defences are now occupied by the French,
the Germa6s having been driven well to the
rear.
A eemi-oficial despatch from Berlin states
that according to assertions by %Leutra!s a
battle is raging near Arras which may de-
eide the fate of Northern France. The
French are very strong, but the Germans

tIn the Dardanelles on Saturday evening
the Turks expended four hundred and Gfty
high explosive shells on our left and centre
trenches and were seen massipg for an
attack, but the enemy'S heart failed him
and the attack degenerated into an artillery

counter-attacks effected a lodgment in
their lines at an awkward salient which was
captured on the fourth instant, As tie

learning, but that is about as far as
it will go. Many girls so to college
who have the home as their ideal, put
large proportion of those who so
through the women's colleges and uni
versities do so with the set purpose OF
devoting their lives to pursuits other
than those confined to the family circle
and limited by matrimony.
This is doubtless responsible for the
college girl race suicide Professor
Sprague notes. but it does not indi-
cate that American girls as whole do
not make good mothers. and that they
are not doing their part in maintaining
the old white race in America. At all
events. the United States has been and
is a nation OF continuous change.
There never has been a time when our
people have been a constant quantity.
Neither has there ever been time
when the change in radical character
istics has endangered the perpetuity of
the nation. Professor Sprague's statis-
tics are interesting, but they are not
vital.

RACE SUICIDE AGAIN

THE assertions of Robert ].
Sprague, Professor of Economics
= and Sociology in the Massachu-
sets Agricultural College at Am
hurst, 10 the effect that women's col
leges are one of the most dangerous
factors in Fastening race suicide in the
United States, will probably be receiv-
ed by storm Of protest and a re-
newal of all the race suicide nonsense
that marked the newspaper and maga-
zine issues in the days when Colonel
affairs.
Professor Sprague in yesterdays
issue of the Journal OF Heredity de-
clares that the old American stock is
rapidly dying out and is being replaced
by immigrants and their progeny. To
prevent this he says every married
woman in the nation should bring to
maturity at least three children, unless
the race is to go backward.
The college girls, who represent a
valuable class, do much less than this.
For instance, in the early days of
Mount Holyoke, the oldest great wo-
mems college, IS per cent. of the
graduates married, but now only two
ifths of them do so. These bear less
than two children apiece on the ave-
rage. The graduates of Mount Holyoke
as whole do not reproduce their own
number at least, less than one child
being born to each graduate.
Only one-third of the Bryn Mawr
graduates have married and they, on
an average, have borne one-third of a
child each. More than one-half of
Nassar graduates are unmarried and
those who do, bear less than two chill
dren. Only a third of the girls who
have been graduated at Wellesley dur
ing the last quarter century have taken
unto themselves husbands and they
have borne only one child apiece
In such figures as these Professor
Sprague sees the fate of the old white
race in America plainly written. To
make the women's colleges help in
saving the race, instead of Fastening
its death, he suggests changes in pub.
lie sentiment, legislation and taxation
and particularly a change in the kind

At least thirty per cent. of this money,

means some hundreds of thousands of
dollars will be placed directly in the
pockets of Harrisburg workingmen
during the months intervening be-

ity enterprises are the prospects OF eX-
tensivc operations on municipal i'm

ment TO a large number of laborers.
All things considered, the outlook
for the coming summer is bright.
While some of the mills may not be
as busy as usual, the men who have
ordinarily found work in them will be
able TO occupy their time temporarily
at least on the bridges, freight ware
houses and other undertakings of the
kind that will be in full blast by the
time warm weather comes to stay.
