ing a threatened position Hence in
the western arena, the swaying OF the
battling hosts to and fro continues,
within very limited area, and gains
are measured more frequently by
yards than by miles. Yards mean
something. but miles mean great
deal more.
II is in the eastern arena, where
Germany has recently won marked
successes, that the value of railroads
built with an eye TO the possibilities
of war as much as with an aim at
commercial advantages, illustrates the
importance Of preparedness. Germany
can and has moved great masses or
men by rail against invaders who
we're compelled to go on foot. Hence
il has been able to shift armies rap
idly TO critical positions without strip
ping its main line of its defenders.
Russia on the other hand cannot for
ward reinforcements without loading
down its comparatively few railroads,
already over burdened by the demands
of tho war. Marshal Won Hindenberg
the German commander, has made the
most of his advantages. The defeat
of the Russians in the Mazurian lake

berg The moral effect of the victory
should be great against other foes
than the Russians. The latter have
the gift of stubbornness and a talent
for coming back. Marshal Won Hin
denberg. even in the JOY of his vic
tory. cannot forget that months ago
he inflicted defeat on the Russians
at Tannenberg. that. striking as IL
was. did not prove decisive. He is
fighting them now in a region not so
very remote from the scene of his
earlier victory, though they have not
got so far into East Prussia as in
their first attempt
The game that the Russians are
playing is TO hold great German arm
les in the East TO prevent their be-
ing dispatched to the West They arc
not easily discouraged If they have
failed in East Prussia, tho German
drive at Warsaw has failed, too. Rus
sia may claim that the accounts bal
ance, and il it is secretly conscious
that they do not. this conclusion may
not have much effect on a people who
are steady, rather than brilliant in
war. Germany gets a breathing time,
but let ii transfer its strength to the
westward and what guarantee has It
that Russia will not resume its adj
vance towards Koenigsberg, Thorn

nm cOrRT MERGER BILL

rx1HERE are many persons I'm Wilmington who think
the state Senate has made a mistake in passing
tho Senate bill consolidate the Municipal and the
Juvenile Courts Such persons arc hopeful that the
House will refuse to concur in the senates action and
that the court established four years ago for dealing
with boy and girl denquents will be kept out of poll
lies and separate and apart the Municipal Court
which deals with much more serious phases of human
delinquency
No one doubts the ability Of Judge churchman, of
the Municipal Court to run the Juvenile Court lie
is a Judge who has high praise from all quarters
for the splendid way in which he has rcesabshcd the
Municipal Court in public respect and confidence and
the painstakng and able way in which he has per-
formed his official duties The objection to the pro-
posed merger lies deeper than that Il is felt that the
court for children should be kept entirely separate
from the regular criminal court TO the end that the
children taken before It may not have their future in
iurcd by being classed criminals. In other words
10 keep the Juvenile Court free the slightest tngo
of psrsanship and to disassocate IT, far it may
be possible do from the idea that It is an nsu-
tion set up for the punishment of young criminals.
The most successful juvenile courts have been par
entail rather than punitive in their nature The most
successful Juvenile court judges the friendly
monitors Of boy and girl delinquons rather than men
disposed to use scale OF justice for weighing the
shortcomings of all classes of misdemeanants Many
Such judges have found il pleasant, and profitable
TO their respective communities play the role of the
big brother dealing with boys and girls taken before
them for corrective purposes II Judge Churchman is
to continue to devote Municipal Court business the
time and care that he heretofore has done, il is
not likely he VIII be able devote to the Juvenile
Court the time it should have from its judicial head
