Il is not a lobby nor group of philan-

termined to secure the best possible
conditions for the children of the city.

THE DARDANELLEs NUT.

A French military expert, discussing the
difficulty the Allies are meeting in trying to
"crack the Dardanelles nut'' by naval bonn
bardment, says that artillery afoat, designated
as the navy, has no independent role when OPP
Grating against fixed coast Notifications. 1t
must keep in close cooperation with land forces,
so that the enemy may be subjected to a close
attack by the latter, without which he would
merely cover himself against the fire of the feet.
Naval attacks on shore defenses always were
considered to be against accepted precepts of
modern warfare and this rule becomes cardinal
when such defenses are supplemented by earth
works and entrenchments manned by strong
land forces. XIII =..*...

an old saying, and where such ordnance is of

shell fire of feet, aside from its possible abil-
ity to infict material damage on the batteries,
and even to silence some of them, can be con-
sidered as only blazing the way for an attack

In the Spanish American war Admiral Samp-
sons bombardment of the Notifications of San
Juan and Santiago de Cuba were merely waste
of ammunition and Admiral Togo's attack on
the defenses of Port Arthur Yielded no visible
results, aside from certain effect on the morale
of the defenders of the positions. This in most
cases, however, cannot be considered as being
commensurate with the risk incurred by the
vessels participating. ~.

THE RECALL CRITICISED.

Enthusiasts in municipal reform are begin.
nlng to look askance at the scheme known as
the recall" and it will be well for the dele
gates to the coming charter convention to give
recent experience with the recall considerable
Intention.
In one or two conspicuous instances 1t has
taken from office thoroughly bad men. In
many more instances it has forced elections
which failed to unseat the official attacked
The San Francisco Chronicle points out some
disadvantages of the recall method in the fol-
lowing editorial comment:
For some official action not satisfactory to
union labor interests, recall petition was filed
last year against Senator James Owen of Contra
Costa county, and an election held.
The attempt to recall failed, and, in pursu-
ance of the Constitution, the legislature, in the
face of strong opposition from the interests
which sought to recall him, appropriated $1,000
TO reimburse him for expenses incurred in the
recall election.
" 1t is difficult to see upon what ground the
appropriation could be opposed, other than q
determination of opponents to defy the Consti-
tuition and laws Of the state, for the article OF
the constitution which declares that any elect
ed state officer may be recalled, also says:
II at any recall election. the Incumbent whose
removal is sought is not recalled he shall be repaid
from the state treasury amount legally expended
BY him as expenses OF such election and the legis-
iaure shall provide by appropriation for such pur-
pose
8 Note that it says that ANY amount, so long
as il is legally expended, shall be repaid by the
legislature, which is commanded to make the
necessary appropriations. .s.
And upon, the whole, it seems just that the
state shall protect officials once legally elected
from merely fractional assaults which are not
Sustained by the people.
But if recalls are frequent, they may cost
Tic taxpayers lot Of money Ito say nothing
81 the cost of the election itself. =

THE "ArTER-HoUR" PRIVILEGE.

The interstate commerce commissions
annual report gave him nearly clean
bill of health. Where he used TO bear
the blame, new victim has been
raised-the flagman, ignorant OF the
company's rules.
The commission pointed out that
there has been a considerable de-
crease in the number Of collisions due
to the failure Of the enginemen to
obey the indications Of the block sig
nal" At the same time it held that 1t
IS unreasonable to expect freedom
from wrecks when railroads employ
fagmen of little experience without
any examination as to their knowledge
of rules.
Strong recommendation was made
for universal use of system of auto
matte train control IN conjunction with
other safety devices.

caused death to 100 persons and In
