WISE EpuCATIONAL ACTION.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
The Dover Board of Education has
done a wise thing in arranging to
have home gardening taught to the
pupils OF the school. All the pupils
who wish to do so can have gardens
and have practical instruction in the
work. Most of them have yards or
can secure vacant lots; the public
should be sufficiently interested TO Sc
cure lots for any who may not have
them, so that no child can be deprived
of this work. Il is believed that lot
owners will very oheerfully permit
their use for this purpose without
any charge whatever. Already the
children are talking about the matter
very enthusiastically, and are laying
their plans to begin as soon as the
weather will permit, and some of
them are even talking about making
start by putting boxes in the house
or by starting hotbeds.

There can be little doubt but that
the Germans expected Warsaw to fall
before this and in particular expected
Marshal Won Mackensen to make bet
ter progress than he has been able to
do. The ambitious project Of over
whelming the entire Russian field
force as we'll as capturing the Polish
capital Is now appearing to be too
mighty an undertaking even for the
Germans to accomplish. Warsaw may
fall, but there is no evidence that the
Slavs will be annihilated. Unques-
tionably the Russian defensive power
was under-estimated at Berlin after
the success of the Galician drive. The
Germans were encouraged to hope that
another Sedan, on a far vaster scale,
might be won in the eastern war area.

WASHINGTON, July 27.--Ameri-

not more numerous today than they
have been for months past, but they
We're more pressing. There was tho
Leelanaw incident.
| Without giving the administration
time to draw breath, following dis
patch of last weeks note to Berlin,
! Great Britain had unexpectedly
cabled reply to Americas latest
protest against the formers order

The Mexican situation was again
acute.
lingo interests were trying to
make It appear that the German tor

Leelanaw was the kaiser's answer
to Americas protest against his IN
der sea boat methods.
Officia1dom did not see 1t so. Gov
ernment heads unQuestionably were
electrified when news of the torpedo
ing first reached them. 1t came at
such time that, at first, they really
thought, as the jingos were still rep
resenting it today, German act of
deliberate unfriendliness.'
Later and fuller information con-
vinced them, much to their relief,
that the Germans had acted accord
ing to their Interpretation of 1t. with
more than usual regard for all techni-
calities Of International law. The cir
crmstances of the incident. happen
ing just when they did. were regard
ed as good sign.
1t was still considered today that
the William P. Frye and Leelanaw
affairs fell much under the sams
head. This implied a German-Ameri-
can difference of opinion-but only
diplomatic difference of opinion
concerning Germany's right to de-
stroy an American contraband carry
ing ship. as we'll as its contraband
cargo.
News dispatches saying Germany
proposed to stand firm" and quoting
important personages in Berlin to
the effect that the kaiser could not
abandon his submarine warfare,
were also taken calmly.
The essential thing. it was re-
marked, was that Germany refrain
from unwarned submarine attacks
