ENGLAND is YIELDING TO
UNITED STATES REQUEST

Washington Aug. 30-Concessions
in the enforcement against American
commerce of the British order in coun
Gil were announced today as a result
of informal negotiations just
completed by the foreign trade ad-
visers of the state department.
The British ambassador, Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, assured the trade ad-
visers that their informal representa-
lions in cases where the British Or
ders have caused undue hardships"
to American commerce will receive
special consideration.
The ambassador called at the state
department. personally to explain the
extent of the British concessions,
which are especially intended to
meet the growing complaint of Ameri
can importers that their Christmas
trade is threatened by failure to OBJ
tain goods made in Germany and Aus

Generally speaking, it is the inten.
ton of the British government to per.

importers have entered into contract

Heretofore it had been required
that the money shall have actually
been paid for the goods. Now it will

CHIVALRY AS SHOWN
IN THE PRESENT WAR

British Army Headquarters in
France, Aug. 26-"Though it has
been repeatedly stated that chivalry
does not exist in this war;" said a
British aviator, "this does not apply
to the British and German aviation
branches. Whether it is the individu-
alism of our work and its novelty, or
whatever it is that is responsible,
something of the old spirit Of knight
hood maintains among the riders of
the air. When a British aviator has

The reports are made in a manner

heads to snipe at from their trenches.

A Sugar Plant.

An herb, called by the natives caa

baudianum, grows wild in Paraguay.
It Is remarkable for its sweetness. In
deed, the native nanr means the
sugar plant" it grows along the
border Of the river Amambahi, and
attains a height of only about five
inches. The smallest bit of this plant
when placed upon the tongue produces
a surprisingly sweet SAVIOR, which, it
is said, lasts for hours. The saccha-
rine power is much greater chan that

this plant closely resembles that Of

SCHOOL TO OPEN
SEPTEMBER 18TH

The next session OF the Clty
Schools will begin on Monday, Sep
TENDER 18th, at nine o'clock A. M.
The board of trustees has thought
best to have all pupils above the Sec
ond grade at the Mill School to at
tend the graded school at the graded
school building. Teachers for the
first and second grades will be placed
at the mill school for the benefit OF
those children of these grades who
may attend this school.
Because of this assignment of pu-
pils to the other buildings it has be-
come necessary to make a new assign
ment of teachers, therefore all pupils
below the second grade at the graded
school building will report to Miss
Eunice Calhoun who will be in charge
of this grade. This grade will be
divided. into two sections and will
attend accordingly.
Miss Epting will have charge OF
the second grade as last year. Miss
Robertson, the third grade, and Miss
Britt, the fourth grade. .t
Unless a change is required later,
Miss Watson will assist in the third
and fourth grades. .
Miss Edith Sullivan will teach the
fifth grade, Miss Iona Smith the sixth
grade, Miss Louise Sullivan the
seventh and Miss Lillian Swetenberg
will be assistant in the Grammar
School Department.
The High School teachers are:
Misses Poole, Brown and Perrin. Miss
Clara Wham will have charge of the
first grade at the Mill School. The
teacher for the second grade at the
Mill School will be elected later.
Compulsory school attendance was
voted in this district last June. This
Law requires that all pupils between
the ages of eight and fourteen years
attend some school in the district dur
ing the school term and that all boys
and girls between fourteen and six
teen years who cannot read and write
intelligently also attend school.
The Superintendent is requird by
the law to report all pupils who do
not attend regularly and the trustees
are required to enforce the law. Also
the law requires the County Superin
tendent to see that the city teachers
make all proper reports. The reader
can see that the law is very strict and
it must be enforced. 1t is to be hoped
that all parents, and guardians will
cooperate to avoid friction of any
kind. After all it is the future wei
fare of the child and the State that
the law is looking to-.
The prospects for a good year are
ahead.

GERMANY FAILS TO WIN
PEACE WITH RUSSIA
(By Prof. Pares)

London, Aug. 30-In the past few
days the tension of Russia's position
has slackened perceptibly. Every
one has become more at ase For my
self, who has followed the military
and political position very closely, I
20 so far as to say that the crisis
is past.
From the time when the enemy be-
gan his great thrust in Southwest
Galicia, I an quite certain he was
aiming simply at one thing. He
was trying to bring Russia to sepa-
rate herself from her allies. If he
could not do that he could do moth
ing on the eastern side.
The idea of a conquest of Russia
or of forcing a peace on Russia was
always, from the start, ridiculous.
Russia could never be compelled to
make peace; she could only be in
duced to desire it. For this object
there was a perfectly clear program,
of which every detail soon became
apparent. Z
Of course, the Russian army had to
be beaten and driven back with as
many losses as possible, but above
all, Russia was to be persuaded that
her western allies could do nothing
for her. Poland was to be won and
then a liberal peace was to be Offer
ed Russia. I:
Know They Have Failed.
The Germans have had their sue
cesses. They have made. their shot;
they have failed and they know it is
the turning point in the whole proc
ess.
. TO my mind the most important
fact of the last week was the an
nouncement made by M. Sazonoff in
Petrograd. =
M. Sazonoff is a very quiet man and
his simple straightforwardness is
one Of the greatest reasons for the
immense confidence which his coun-
try places in him. His announcement
in which he had not a word that could
be dispensed with, amounted to this:
That the German successes had
been accompanied by repeated nego-
tiations for peace which Russia had
refused Internationally; whenever
they were renewed they would be re-
fused again. But this meant the COL
lapse of all that Germany has been
playing for; military success was
secondary. " :
We are approaching the time when
the Russian roads will break up.
The country through which the Ger
mans will have to advance is at first
a marshy plain, and later on a
plateau broken with innumerable
cross guillies in which the grand army
of Napoleon, in spite of the efforts
of men and horses, left practically
all Of its comparatively light field ar
tillery.
Motor transit, one of the glories of
the advancing German. army, here
will be useless; not only it, but the
very heavy guns which will have to
be left behind.
Meanwhile, one thing is clear. I
was with the %retreating Russian army
from the Carpathians to the Russian
frontier, and its morale is not al
tered in the very slightest by the ter
rible ordeal and artillery fire to which
it was subjected day after day.

WORK OF THE BRIDGEPORT

 The following extracts from the monthly report of the superintendent of the Bridgeport Protective assocfa;- tion to the board of directors demon state the need of such an organization and show the rapid growth of the work.

 This association, like all the other charitable organizations of the city, has had to deal largely with the prob- lem of the deserted wife and children, and feels the need of more stringent legislation rig1dIy enforced. At one time five deserted wives and eight children were being cared for.
