Mr.. BattelI's Foresight.

The foresight of Mr.. Battell Is once
more exhibited in the filling up of tn,
large block which bears his name. Tn,
extensive addition is now nearly full
the postofiice on the main floor, the
knights of Pythias on the second, and
two college student organizations on the
third. There Is not vacant room on
the third floor of the entire block and
only one on the second. Only the rooms
under the postoflice await tenant, and
also the old postoffice. II is understood
that the executors could have rented the
latter If they were not so particular as
TO their class OF tenants. When Mr..
Battell projected this block, wise ones
said he would lose his money. The same
timid spirits were positive that the adj
dition was a great mistake. But Mr..
Battell went ahead, spared no expense
In putting up a good building, bought
additional sites opposite where eye-sores
used TO be. and gave 20 Middlcbury one
of the largest and best business blocks in
the state. He was sctuated by desire
TO help the town, but a good deal Of
Yankee shrewdness was combined with
his patriotism. Mr.. Battell had his lido.

And that means that JOh

and the aurts of Republican
ocrats are in POWer the d.
the jobs.
It will place the teachers in the pub
lie schools in the same political cate
CORY with the white wings and all
other city employees.
That means decentralization of the
public school system.
Since the organization of the
teachers they have had strength
enough to protect themselves and the
public schools from political spOils-
men. They have been strong enough
to prevent bOssism of the public
schools by political nincOmpOops on
the school board, who knew about as
much about education as a hog
knows about heaven.
The teachers have done nothing to
disgrace the schools, while some
members of the board have made
monkeys of themselves and grabbed
every chance to show their ignorance.
You can't make me believe that
anybody who is really interested in
the public school system is back of
this vicious attack on the teachers.
It is true that all of the teachers do
not belong to the organization, but it
is equally true that those who do be-
long have fought for the protection
of ALL of the teachers in every fight
they have made to keep the public
schools out of the hands Of the pOiit-
ical bosses.

Dor. The children of most of the
members of organized labor in Chi
cago attend the public schools, and
nobody is more vitality interested in
keeping the dirty hand of politics off
the schools than the parents of chill
dren who attend these schools.
And there are rich taXdOdgeTs in
Chicago who don't send their chill
dren to the public schools who are
sore at the Teachers Federation and
have been sore ever since that organ
izatiOn made them pay a small part
of the taxes they have been lodging

There are newspaper publishers in

the Teachers Federation for showing
up the midnight session of a news

helped those publishers rob the school
children of Chicago Of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
I believe in the public school sys-

PIVOTAL RUSSIA.

Russia has failed to prove the pow
erful lever in this war that the Al
lies had hoped.
Germany thought Belgium would
not resist or. if resisting, could not
stem her drive toward Paris.
But Belgium did resist, and how
vigorously present results on the
western front %potently reveal.
The Allies believed the Russian
Bear would sap the vitality Of the
Teutonic allies.
Thus the resistance of Belgium
saved France from greater embar.
rassment- and the failure Of the Rus.
slams to develop momentum on the
eastern front has more than compen-
stated for the failure of Germany to
reach the gates Of Paris.
The plan Of the Teutonic allies is
fairly plain now. They hope to de-
feat Russia and force upon her a
separate peace. Warsaw, like Brus.
sells, Liege and Antwerp seems doom.
ed.
Failing to arrive at terms with her
Slavic neighbor, Germany will on.
tinue the campaign until Russia is
practically rendered useless for
months.
From Russia much was expected,
hence the greater the disappointment
in London and Paris. Italy has fail
ed to embarrass the Austrians, while
in turn Austria has inflicted consid-
cradle punishment upon her former
ally.
Germany has the advantage today
on every. front. Her remarkable
fighting machine is. a mystery to all
military critics. The world never
witnessed a better example of what
military preparedness means.
No army, ancient or modern. ever
equaled the mobility of Germany's
forces. War has been reduced to a
science by her generals and every
contingency has been worked out in
advance. ''.'." u
The inability Of the Allies on the
western front to start an effective
offensive movement while the enemy
is engaged about Warsaw, is practi-
cally an admission of weakness due
TO the lack Of men and munitions,
both of which Germany has an abund,
ance.

OPTIMISTIC DANIELS.

Secretary Daniels has a child-like
belief that his board Of civilian ex.
perts will make this nation almost
immune from attack. Recently he is
quoted al having said:
81 believe that when this board has
been selected and has got down to
work we will presently be in a state
of defense such as no other nation
has ever seen.'' u y
1t is hardly to be hoped that this
board without funds or official status
can provide national defenses which
the navy department with both Off
cial status and public funds has been
unable to do.
The problem of national defense
calls for financial assistance. Doubt
less there are experts connected
with the government service now
who if givin the authority and APP
preparations can provide adequate de-
Tense. That any board, civilian or
military. can make this nation i'm
mune from attack or hot air is not a
debatable question. $685. "E
Secretary Daniels probably is try
ing to give the United States a false
sense of security by this newest and
spectacular move of his. Boards Of
experts without assistance from Con-
gress and the federal treasury will
be as helpless as children in strength
ening our national defense.
The secretary of the navy has the
perennial optimism Of a Col. Sellers.
