pie from wnom three despoilers took
both country and flag. This, from
the pen of a leading Polish thinker,
A. NJ. Jasienski, Is significant:
"A German victory now would
mean the complete humiliation Of
Poland. The cities and towns Of Po-
land, with 70 per cent Of Jews and
Germans, would be German "a hours
after anneXation-as the Jews speak
German and always stand with the
government. The villages and farms
Of landowners, under forced eXpatri-
alton, 1ould soon pass into German
hands, as in Posen and West Prus-
STA.
ITO be a buffer state, or as Maxi
milan Harden in "Zukunft' calls it,
"Wahn-Gerippe' Ca skeleton), would
mean the loss forever Of Posen, West
Prussia, Dantzig, and Galicia, or per-
haps some day another war like the
present.
"As 20 whether Poland will lose or
win by trusting to Russia is a hard
question to answer. But certainly
Poland cannot trust Austria. His
tory shows that that country does not
know the meaning of gratitude. And
Prussia Germany, who owe every
thing to Poland, perjured herself in
1881.
Poland knows the Russian Bu-
reaucracy, but she does not know
much about the Russian peODle-per-
haps they deserve to be trusted
Russia has promised the Poles their
independence. 1t has been character
istic of the Germans that they have
promised nothing and predicted lit
tie in this conflict. The objects OF
the German Empire are hidden and
inscrutable. Doubtless if Russian PO-
land is captured It will become part
of West Prussia.
The Poles seem doomed to get little
that will satisfy their dreams Of re
stored national identity.

u. S. to Buy Invention for
Firing Torpedoes by Wireless

Washington, July 22.-(Speciao-
# is understood that the war depart
nent intends to acquire the rights OF
John Hays Hammond, Jr, to a device
he has invented for the radio control
of %torpedoes.
1t was said at the navy department
that officials there h%avenot expert
mented with Hammond's invention,
as it is understood to have been Of
fered to the division of coast artillery
of the war department. Oficers there
would not permit themselves to be
quoted on the subject beyond con-
frming the fact that Mr.. Hammond
has actually invented an apparatus
for control of both boats and torpe-
does by radio, and that he has OBJ
tanned 102 United States patents on
the devices.
War department officers say they
have seen the device at work in Glou.
cester harbor, near the Massachusetts
summer home Of John Hays Ham
mond, and that it does the work
claimed for it. Naval wireless eX-
perts also say that they know of the
invention and believe it to be prac-
teal as so far developed.
There was great interest in the
Hammond invention among the naval
radio experts, and comment was made
that this invention is of similar char.
acter to the new ideas in general
which Secretary Daniels proposed the
naval advisory board will have to
pass on when it gets to work.
1t is understood that complete plans
for the Hammond devices are now in
the possession of the senate commit
tee on appropriations, and there is a
disposition to regard as true reports
from Boston that there is a desire to
establish radio-controlled torpedo
units for the protection of the coun.
try's harbors. ur- ..e 49,.
No confirmation can be obtained,
however, of the report that a first
unit o. that character will be estab.

Purchase of Mr.. Hammond's patent
rights undoubtedly will be recon-
mended to the next congress by Sec
Garrison.
Officials believe the result of the
invention will be to give a concealed
shore station absolute control over a
submerged torpedo within the limits
Of vision, and to enable a man ashore
to direct an attack against an ap.

=, Troops Took to Drink.

O. In his latest protest against the
issue of rum rations Sir Victor Hor.
sley states that the habit Of spirit
drinking was first contracted by our,
troops during Marlborough's campaign
in Flanders, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette. AS a matter Of fact, they &C..
quired this habit so far back as 1886,
when sent to aid the Netherlands
against their Spanish masters. In his
"Annales of the Reign of Queen Eliza,
beth" Camden writes: THE English,
who of all the northern nations had
been till now the moderatest drinkers
and most commended for their sobri.
ETY., learned in these Netherland wars
first to drown themselves with i'm
moderate drinking, and by drinking
others healths to impair their own.
And ever since the vice Of drunken:
ness hath so dinused itself yer the,
whole nation that in our days first
it was fain to be restrained by severe
laws"

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.

In round numbers, there were 22,-
900, 900 persons enrolled in educa.
tional institutions in the United
States in 1914, according to the annu-
al report of the Commissioner Of Ed
ucation, Just issued. Or these over
19,000,0 900 were in elementary
schools; 1,374,O00 in secondary
schools. both public and private; and
100000 in colleges and universities.
Close to another hundred thousand
were in normal schools, preparing to
be teachers, $1,000 were In profession
al schools, and the. remainder were
scattered through other types Of insti-
buttons. The teachers for this educa-
tional army numbered 100000, Of
whom $4,000 were in public schools.
In point of rapid growth the public
high school still presents the most
impressive figures; the enrolment
for 1914 is greater by over $4,000
imam LOT lne year rpeIOre.
The cost of education for the year,
as estimated by the bureau was $3.50.
900, 900. This three-quarters of a
billion is a relatively small amount
when compared with other items in
the public expense" declares the re-
port. at is less by $500, 900 900 than
the cost of running the federal gov
eminent; it is less than one-third the
nations expenditure for alcoholic IL
quors; it is only a little over three
times the estimated cost of admis-
sions to moving picture theaters in
the United States for the same year.
Measured in terms Of products of the
soil, the United States spent some
what more for education in 1914 than
the value of its cotton crop, some
what less than the value Of it's wheat
crop, and less than half the value O.
the annual harvest of corn; while the
nations bill for education was less
by nearly a hundred millions than the
value of, the exports from the harDor
of New York in the calendar year
just passed"
Very little increase is yet to be not
ed in the average term for public
schools. Between 1910 and 1913 the
increase was from 1915 days a year
to 158.1-a growth of only s~ix-tenths
of a day in three years. Attendance
has improved, however. The average
number of days attended by each per
son enrolled increased from 113 in
1910 to 1856 in 1913.

As a university president Doctor,
Butler objects to this practice Of
turning academical teaching into an
exercise in contemporary journalism" =;
Too many American professors, he
thinks, give way to this temptation,

appeals for their opinions on current
topics. IF one be a profound student

judgment upon the latest o%utgiving

Side. . Lights From ., !
the European War

Berlin, July 22.-Interesting light
on the question how far heavy artil-
lery fire can be. heard is given by DR..
Doerr, Alderman scientist, writing in
the '"Meterologische 'Z%eitschrift."
From observations made at the Dutch
Meteorological Institute and from 9th
err sources of information, this writer
shows that the German heavy NOR
tars Used in the attack upon Antwerp
We're heard to a distance of 139 to
142 miles, but that at distance of only
40 to 60 miles nothing was heard. The
zone Of silence extended to about
100 to 106 miles. Where the detona-
tons could again begin TO be heard,
however, they were described as es-
pecially violent, so much so that the
ground seemed to tremble.
The existence Of such a zone of
silence appears not to have been
scientifically demonstrated previous
to the present war. 1t is mentioned,
for example, that in the wars OF 1866
and 1870 German commanders on sey-
eral occasions received instructions
to march to any point where they
might hear a ~cannonade; but they
failed to render the expected assist
ance, and their explanations were
discredited when they reported that
they hal heard nothing, although the
guns had been heard by other troops
at still more distant points. When
Frederick the Great defeated the Aus
TRANS near Liegnitz in 1850 the main
body of the Austrians failed to hear
the artillery fire there and did not
come to the assistance Of their COM
rades, whereas other Austrian troops
mu3ch further removed heard it and
began their march toward the scene
of action.

Refusal to accept the German plan
to secure safe conduct on the high
seas for neutrals was inevitable. The
administration took a stand in its ear
lier communications which left too
little room for compromise. Hopes,
however, that further negotiations
may adjust matters amicably are gen.
eral throughout the nation.
This country is for peace. The So
luton of the controversy as proposed
by Germany does not seem to abridge
our rights in a manner that calls for
sacrifice of national honor in accept
ing.
It is to be hoped, however, before
the final word has passed between
the two countries that the admins
gtratiOn will not put too much empha-
sis upon the purely academic phase
Of the issue. There is a practical
and fa~r-reaching side to the situation
which has made a potent appeal to
the man in the street, and his YER
dict is almost unanimous that there
is nothing in the controversy that
should push this nation nearer the
bloody vortex that has involved more
than half the world.
One point must appear paramount
that warnings in submarine attacks
are impossible, and until some inter-
national regulations have been formu-
lated governing the use of submersi-
bles, it is just as we'll that neutrals
travel under neutral flags.
