Bonding Proposition.

The proposed amendment giving the
council authority to issue bonds for
the construction of intersections on
hard surface improvements is simply
extending to the municipality the
same privilege now enjoyed by the in
dividual, and hence should have the
approval of the voters at the polls. In
the improvement of a considerable
area during a single year the city is
financially unable to construct the
necessary amount of intersections
from the general fund. While prop
erty owners may take advantage of
the Bancroft bonding act, which dis
tributes their payments over period
of ten years, the city must, under the
present order of things, pay cash. The
adoption of the measure as presented
to the people for their approval or
rejection would make it possible for
the city to make more extensive bet
terments within a single year, and
hence there would be a saving over
improving a lesser area. The propos-
ed amendment follows:
Section Sic. For the purpose of
raising funds for making improve
ments of street intersections within
the City of Dallas, Polk county, Ore
gon, when the same are improved with
hard surface pavement, and for no
other purpose, the city council shall
be and hereby is authorized and en-
powered to issue and sell interest
bearing negotiable bonds of the city
of Dallas, Oregon, for such purposes,
from year to year, as the same may

TURKEY REFORMING SCHOOLS.
Finds Time in Midst Of War to Con-

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERLIN. February 24.-In the midst
of war Turkey finds time to begin the
reform of its school system, and has
turned to Germany for leader in the
movement The man selected for this
purpose is Prof. Franz Schmidt, who
has hitherto had charge of a bureau of
education in the German foreign office.
He formerly conducted German high
school in Bucharest, and he has been
a close student of foreign educational
affairs. He is now to be attached to the
Turkish ministry of education.

French Flag Stolen BY Foe.

Correspondents Of the Associated Pres.
HAMBURG. February 22.-The story
of how promotion and decoration with
the Iron Cross came to two non-com-
missioned officers and a private of a
Rhenish regiment is told in a letter
from Hamburg captain of their COM
pany.
The French forces in the trenches
opposite hoisted the tricolor, much to
the anger of the Germans. and the
three decided to risk their lives to tear
1t down. Under cover of night they
crawled under the barbed-wire entan-
clements. and. notwithstanding dogs
and sentries. captured the flag, took it
to the German trench, and, next morn
ing, erected it where the French could
see it,

!, French Bullet More Effective.

Our experience in the present war
seems to show also that the French
schrapnel bullet is more efficient than
the German. The bullets of the seven
ty-five shrapnel shell weigh eleven
grams (slightly less than half an
ounce). whereas the similar German
bullet weighs only nine grams. Expe-
rience seems to show that a bullet of
at least eleven grams is necessary to
stop a man advancing. The effect of
the bullet is, of course, enormously in
creased by the high velocity of the
French shell. Bullets of our seventy
five shrapnel strike at a velocity of
ninety meters a second, whereas those
of the corresponding German gun trav-
ell at sixty meters. The energy of the
two bullets is. in fact, mathematically
about to !, in favor of the French.
From one general point of view the
German artillery has long stood con-
demned in our eyes. In Germany there
has been for years divorce between
the artillerymen and the men who
make the guns. Every improvement
with the Germans has had to origi-
nate from krupps, and there has thus
been a disastrous hiatus between the
DRY and practice. With us it is differ
emit Our artillery has made its own
gun. Ye have accepted improvements
from every quarter and have paid our
men not in cash reward, but by promo
tion or recognition

French Shell Has Advantage.

"A great deal has been written about
the deadliness of the French shell fire
and the relative inefficiency of that Of
the Germans. Assuming that the shells
of both guns explode, the French shell
will have the advantage for the follow
ing reason: The German shell hits the
ground and digs hole. By the nature
Of things-as the fragments of shell
must fly. roughly. straight-nothing
will be hit that is below line extend
ed out in diagonal direction from the
sides of the hole dug by the shell. In
other words, it is possible to be lying
on the ground quite close to the spot
where a shell has burst and to be I'M
touched. A horse has to be a yard or
so farther away, but even he soon gets
out Of the zone of fire.
With the French shell it is differ
ent. The French shell is constructed
to richochet. 1t strikes the ground and
bounces, only exploding when it is in
the air as the result of the bounce. The
explosion occurs when the shell Is of
the ground, and there is no hole sur
face to protect a possible victim.

ASSERTS FRENCH GUNS
ARE MORE EFFECTIVE
Artillery Officer Says One Feature Of
It's Superiority Is in the
Rapidly Of Its Fire.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BOULOGNE, France. February pa
French artillery officer. who has been
at the front from the beginning of the
war. has sent to the newspapers an ac-
count Of the French "75" gun. which he
regards as the most successful all
round piece OF artillery in use by any
army.
The feature in which the gun has
most conspicuously established its su-
periority." he writes. us in the rapidity
of its fire. This to some extent de-
Ponds upon the division of labor among
mechanical properties of the gun. The
designer has SO arranged it that no
matter how the weapon is pointed. the
force of recotl passes through the ex-
act center of the beche or anchor. In
the German gun the force is directed
not at the point of the beche. but at 4
suit that the gun tends to be slowed
around and has to be continually
aimed afresh.
"a great virtue Of the French rs is
the extent to which 1t resists deteriora
ton. If you examine 4 French shell
that has been fired at the end of the
past six months of hard fighting, you
will find evidence that the guns rifiing
is almost as good and efficient as at the
beginning Of the war. This comes as a
surprise to many people who have
heard of the rapidity with which naval
guns deteriorate, but the conditions
are. of course, different, as the veloci-
ties needed in naval work make an
enormously greater demand upon the
