European War
The Germans have announced a
great victory over the Russians In
Poland. General Won Hindenburg is
said to have taken $4,000 prisoners.
Emperor William of Germany and
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
Hungary are soon to declare the in
dependence of Poland and place Arch
duke Karl Stephen Of Austria on the
throne, according to dispatches from
Vienna and Berlin. Great alarm has
been felt in Petrograd over the ru-
NOR.
The British aerial fleet raided Ger
man posts off the Belgian coast, in
which Claude Grahame-White, the dar-
ing air racer, narrowly escaped death
when his machine was disabled and
he fell into the sea off Newport.
Sir Roger Easement, leader Of the
British separatist faction in Ireland,
who is now in Berlin, has issued an
open letter to Sir Edward Grey, in
which he accuses the British govern
ment of criminal conspiracy to have
him captured or killed. His state
ment has greatly agitated Berlin.
DIR. Henry Van Dyke, American
minister to Holland and Luxembourg,
has complained to President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan that Germany has
been intercepting his mail from Lux
embourg and has generally invaded
his rights as the minister of neutral
country. He recommends that the
United States demand an apology from
Germany.
Battle after battle is reported all
along the eastern war front. The Car
pathian passes are the scenes Of des-
perate struggles. In some instances
Petrograd admits the superiority Of
the Austrian and German forces.
Official accounts from London and
Petrograd indicate that battles in Ga
licia are being waged with a ferocity
without precedent in the history Of
warfare.
Charge after charge of the German
troops in mass formation was shatter-
ed by the terrible enfilading fire Of the
Russians. Undaunted, the Germans
would make another attempt only to
be shattered again. twenty-five as
saults in one day were made by the
Germans. The Muscov1tes made free
use of bayonets.
The situation in Austria is critical
for the Russians, according to Petro-
grad advices. The cars war office
admits that the Muscovite troops are
having to evacuate the Austrian prov
ince of Bukowina.
Fighting is in progress all along the
line from the Polish province of Plock
to Tilist, the point where once Napo-
leon and Gear Alexander met on
barge in midstream and divided the
world between them and took every
thing away from Queen Louise of
Prussia.
The Muscov1te forces are reported
to be making rapid gains in the Car
pathians and throughout Austria. The
Vienna war office announces Hungari-
an successes which discounts the val
ue of the other advices.
French gains have been made in
the south and it is reported that most
of Alsace and Lorraine are now under
French military control, with French
troops rapidly pushing on towards
Strassburg.

Governors Seeing Thinps.n

When the governors of the several states
assembled at Boston for their annual conference
Inst week the entire National Guard of the state
OF Massachusetts, was paraded to welcome them
The Boston Transcript. at the time expressed
some pardonable curiosity as to why the mill
tary display was made in time OF peace. lit
tie later on the governors were given the pleas
ure Of witnessing war demonstration by the
North Atlantic fleet OF the American navy. and
were greatly edited by the exhibition. Now
we have the answer In the parting declaration
OF the conference that the United States is
prone and defenseless before q hostile world,
and would be easy picking" for an invading
host
The stage was well set at Boston, and the
effects nicely timed to arouse the governors to
a point where they would give countenance to
the agitation that has been carefully developed
within the last few months by the Wilson adj
ministration. II is part OF the campaign OF the
democrats TO push preparedness as their chief
cry, and to pose before the public as saviors Of
the country. They have made Mr. Wilson's
frmness In a serious international crisis an
excuse. and are now pushing their military prop

Accident Insurance Efficiency.

Addressing the insurance men gathered at
Detroit last week, Vice President Faxon of the
Aetna company said the policies as at present
issued are unscientific, and need to be thor
oughly overhauled. He laid special stress on
what he designated as the freak" conditions Of
accident policies, such as provide double in
demnity in certain cases, and the like These
he would eliminate entirely, his argument being
that no good reason exists why death by light
ming stroke should create an estate OF SIC, 900,
while death resulting from a broken neck from
a fall downstairs should bring but 5000. In
either event, so far as the insured Is concerned,
the taking off ia as effective. To remedy this
MIR. Faxon suggests the expedency of canceIling
all freak provisions and putting accident insur-
ance on a simple basis for a term Of five years,
that the companies may compile experience sta
tistics on which the rates may properly rest.
Accident insurance differs from life insur-
ance In that Il must turn the element Of
chance. In life insurance the hazard is abso-
Lutte, for death Is inevitable, but the danger Of
accident. while ever present is more or less be-
yond control except through the exercise of or
binary prudence. Experience tables" would
help standardize the risks beyond the fact that
from time to time accidents do happen and the
probability OF them Ia stronger when persons
are gathered together under unusual conditions
But this increased hazard is also offset In a very
large measure by the improved conditions that
surround the individual in his daily life and his
increasing knowledge how to avoid danger and
obviate mishap.
Efficiency experts can serve the public a.
well as the insurance companies by devising stil
further protective measures, to the end that &C
cidents will be fewer and less seriouA In the
meantime. however. no sign of any company
giving over its business in this line has been
dscerned.

Moving in the Rirht Direction.


The efforts OF Emperor William and his
advisers to find a way by which to extricate
themselves gracefully from the threatened rup-
ture with the United States is the best assur-
snce that the most perilous point Of the crisis
has been passed II would seem that the Ger
man government has finally come to realize the
value OF continuing on friendly terms with this
country, the leading neutral nation Of the world,
even though satisfied that nothing more would
eusue than the interruption Of diplomatic In
tercourse.
Up to this time the attitude Of the Germans
has ostensibly been to place military necessity
sbove the rights OF non-combatants as we'll as
combatants. That is the explanation OF the
Lusitania affair, and also of the OF the

therefore. now either offers a disavowal or ad-
mits liability for reparation with guarantees
against repetition. and without conditions that
tie a string to the adjustment. the principle
we have been contendng for will have been main
tanned, and the rest may be proper subject
for negotiation. II this paves the way for more
general peace negotiations so much the better.
Patriotic Americans, who want this country
