No Shell or Cartridge Left.

The reason they never went any farther
I will tell you. | don't know whether it
is any secret or not but there was not a
cartridge left in France. They had ex-
ploded everything. Each side dug itself
into the ground The French felt in very
much the same situation as Grant in
southern Illinois You know his famous
letter when the mud was Is inches deep
and he could only make about half a mile
progress a day He wrote: 4 think the
other fellows are in about the same situa-
tion and | propose to fight it out on this
line if it takes all summer" Tht French
thought Won KlHck was in about the same
situation they were. Both sides had to
dig themselves into trenches, and there
they have remained. Never since has
there been a Bonnie movement.
Paris open and undefended, and yet fol-
years before called the strongest fortified

stood the Kaiser at Luxembourg, this little
duchy south of Belgium, and the crown
prince not far away, with. his army al
ready to march to Paris. Here were tive
great blunders which seem as if ordered by
a higher Providence. Military strategy
would seem to have very little to do witt

INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION
DOING EXCELLENT WORK
(By Burton X. standish.) }

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March H.
If the United States ever has trou-
BILE with Great Britain it will not
grow out Of the fact that for four
thousand miles or so the United States
touches one of Great BritGin's colon
les, the Dominion Of Canada. So
thinks U. S. Senator Wesley l.. Jones.
While ordinarily boundary lines are
the surest source of war-making, the
United States-and likewise England
is pro tected in that instance by a
buffer that is proving its value, Sen
ator Jones thinks. The buffer is the
international joint commission, Great
ed by the treaty of 1909, TO settle all
boundary questions then pending and
TO make provision for the adjust
ment and settlement of all such ques-
tions as may hereafter arise"
This commission is composed OF
Obadiah Gardner, of Maine; James
NJ. Tawley, of Minnesota, and X. b
Glenn, of North Carolina, for the
United States; Henry A. Powell, X
c., New Brunswick; Charles A. Ma.
grath, Ontario, and p. B. Mignault, X
c., Quebec, for Canada.
Although organization was not eff
fected until January 10, 1912, owing
to the delay in the naming Of his ap
pointees by the king of England, tn,
commission already has adjusted NOR,
difficulties, Senator Jones says, thar
were settled through the diplomati,
agencies Of the two countries sine,

no measures to the government except
the immediate revision of all legisla-
ton on the subject. The academy
however, from the superficial glance
which it has already given to the sub
ject declares that the minimum mot
to which France can adopt and hope
to prevent the gradual obliteration
from the face of the earth of the
French people is "Three children for
every family" The condition entail
ed by the war randers this an i'm
perative necessity.
The academy also has asked the
government to effect complete
change in the policy of it's laws on
this subject. Instead of enacting
measures with the end in view of
forcing families to have children, it
is urged that the laws tend rather to
make it possible for parents to have
children by reducing for them the
economic burden of bringing them up.
As the laws now stand, it is as
serted that the larger mans family
is the more taxes, duties and other
contributions he is obliged to pay to
the state. The academy asks the re-
versal Of this.
1t asks also the immediate revival
of an old law which was suppressed
in 1885. 1t provided that every fam
lily with seven children had the right
to have at least one of these brought
up at the expense of the state. The
academy insists that even larger ap-
plication of this law would be justi-
fable under the present conditions.
The academy also asks that all en-
ployment under the government be
given on graded scale to the faith
ers Of the largest families. Scholar
ships and other help from the state is
urged on behalf of the children.
In making these suggestions to the
French government, the academy ad-
mits that these are merely the first
fruits of the most superficial glance
over the situation. That situation.
however, is so serious that it declares
the government must begin at once
seizing upon every possible straw
that can help to save it.
Later the academy proposes to
evolve measures on a much broader
basis that will be applicable not only
to France but to the other countries
that will have been depopulated by
the war.

CLASSY CHAMPIONS CLASH
All PHILADELPHIA TONIGHT
(By Harry Faris.)

PHILADELPHIA, March 17.-For
the first time in years two real box
ing champions will meet each other
here tonight. Johnny (Kid) Williams,
champion of the bantamweights, and
Johnny Kilbane, kingpin of the feath-
ers, mix before the Olympia A. A. in
Il six-round no-decision contest.
Only a knockout will bring the two
titles to one man, and even the most
ardent supporter of either of the COM
batants does not claim that such a
result is likely. Kilbane, on account
of his advantage in height, reach and
weight, is generally conceded win
ner on points by unbiased critics. The
supporters of the doughty little blonde
from Baltimore-and they are legion
- maintain, however, that their favor
ties rushing, whirlwind tactics will
sweep the featherweight's offensive
aside and return him victor, even
ir the six-round clash.
Each of these youngsters has prov
er himself complete master of his
class. Kilbane, since he wrested his
title from the once famous wizard of
the ring, Abe Attell, has won handily
from every one he has met except
one. That one-Johnny Dundee-has
since outgrown the featherweight
ranks and can no longer claim to be
a rival for Kilbane's crown. Dundee
got draw with Kilbane year ago
in twenty rounds at Los Angeles.
Williams won his title by knocking
out Johnny Coulon, for years the de-
mon of the little fellows. Coulon was
all in when he fell before Williams,
being but shadow of his former self.
But since then Williams has proven
that he had real right to the title.
He has beaten every challenger he
has met, a great many of them fall
ing via the knockout route.
1t took great deal of money to
bring these two together. Kilbane
demanded $4,000 and as he was
champion, too, Williams wanted as
much. The promoters al first could
only see their way clear to giveng
$4,000 for the bout. They raised that
to $500 and finally they are said to
have put the figure up to $4,000.
Indications We're, by the advance sale,
that they would barely clear that
much in receipts.

1t is a curious fact that the ancient
halls of Oxford now form the sole
home of nearly all Of the Belgian fa-
nous universities. When the Univer-
s.ty of Louvain was invited to remove
to Oxford until the fortunes of war
should render it possible to revive its
former existence number of its pro-
fessors accepted the invitation, and
such of their students as were unable
to serve in the Belgian army went
too. The tide of invasion swept for
ward, and one after another of the
Belgian universities became homeless.
Oxford has gathered them all in, and
her halls still overflow with activity,
in spite of the enlistment of nearly
all of her own able-bodied teachers
and students. The late Andrew
Lang gave us in his Oxford an au-
thentic history and picture of the
beautiful city that is now the protec-
tor of so many of the worlds intel
lectual treasures.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT ASKED
TO TAKE UP SERIOUS PROBLEM
(By Henry Wood.)

PARIS, Feb. 27.-(By Mail to New
York; The Academy of Moral and
.Folitical Science has just asked the
French government to take up at once
its most serious problem that will re-
suit from the war-that Of the popu-
iation Of Europe.
1he academy has pointed out that
when the war ends minimum of O.
100000 men at the very least will
have been killed. The crisis which
Europe will then face for its repopu-
iation will be without a parallel in
the worlds history.
The academy has already pledged
10 the government its most profound
and exhaustive study of the situa-
ton. While it is the intention of the
members eventually to take up the
problem in its application to all the
countries stricken by the war, they
for the moment will con.ine their eff
forts to the problem as it is presented
in France.
That France will be the country
that will face the most serious phase
OF the situation is already recogniz-
ed. For years even before the war
frances birth rate had decreased to
a point where it was exceeded by the
deaths. Now with hundreds of thou
sands of her men most capable of re-
producing their kind being killed, the
situation is recognized to have been
aggravated to a degree where only
the most radical, unanimous and ex-
haustive measures ON the part not
only Of the French government but
of the entire French people are going
to be necessary in order to insure
the continuity of the French race.
