rifle gun fire, General Won Gallwitz,
with 100000 German troops, has reach
ed position less than ten miles from
the vital Warsaw-Petrograd railway,
one OF the last two avenues Of escape
for the Slavs in the Warsaw triangle.
Praga, the suburb of Warsaw on the
eastern bank Of the Vistula, was occu-
pied according to the official an
nouncement of the German war ofiice.
Defeat at the hands of the Teutonic
Allies on the line between Lubartow
and Miechow left the Russian armies
split in two, with gap of miles be-
tween, through which the victorious
commanders may drive their men in
an enveloping movement that will
mean destruction or capture for the
Russians on the southern line of the
salient.
Breach May Prove Dangerous.
It is impossible at this moment to
determine how serious a danger for
the Russians this breach may prove,
but probably they are amply protected
against dangerous inroads upon their
line of retreat by troops Withdrawing
from 1vangorod along the highway
running parallel with the north bank
of the Vieprz to Radzyn.
In resisting tho Austrian advance
the Russians made a desperate attack
at Miechow. The retreat of their left
wing over the Vieprz at Lessekowico
was rout of pronounced character. It
is known that the number of prisoners
considerably exceeds the 5000 men
toned in the official report.
Hard pressed on three sides, the
Russian armies are still fighting hard
and hour by hour approaching the
TING when the great bulk. Of the army
will be on the prepared line of de.
tense, safe from the savage thrusts
of the kaiser's men who have been
struggling so desperately to encircle
the whole Russian field force.
A violent battle has been begun at
the Bug river. south Of Vyskof, where
Won Gawitz Is attempting to force q
crossing. The Russians are making
stand behind the fortified bridge head
on the southern bank Of the stream.
Teuton Batteries Cover Actions.
The German batteries are covering
actions both north and south Of the
Vieprz river crossing, where pontoons
are being thrown across the river.
Thirteen miles to the southwest the
army Of General Heltz. after occupy
ing serock, is moving south along the
highway to attempt a second crossing
Of the Bug west of its junction with
the Rzadza river. The Russians ap.
parently are not offering serious re-
sistance. but are falling back on the
river.
Meanwhile the Germans who crossed
the Vistula south of Warsaw are press
ing closer to the left flank of the Slavs
in the Warsaw-Novo Georgfewsk sa-
lient and the Warsaw-Siedlce railway,
the last of the two railways by which
the Slavs may make a successful re-
tirement.

Sees faults IN The
State School Laws

At the January meeting Of the
Delaware Association of College Wo-
men, held in the High School, one OF
the most interesting features of the
meeting was the reading of paper
on rural school conditions by Miss
ella w. Johnson, of Newport.
The principal theme of Miss john
sons paper had to do with the school
funds and the methods employed in
this State for raising them. It was
pointed out how inadequate the meth
ods employed here we're for provid-
ing sufficient money to support the
schools of the State. Il was said that
New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania all have much better systems OF
raising school funds than has Della
ware and it was shown how most
States have a general tax, a certain
percentage of which Is used for the
various State purposes, the schools
included, and each district has uni
form rate. School taxes in this state
however, being fixed by the district
hoard are different in each district
Diverging from the financial sys-
tenn employed, Miss Johnson spoke oi
the compulsory education law, where
i'm a child is compelled TO go TO
school until the age of fourier years
is reached. This law, said Miss
Johnson, should be changed to six
teen years of age, with a proviso thai
child may go to work at fourteen
if IL is shown that such is necessary

new SIGNAL LIGHTS

Are Adapted TO Use In
Both Day and Night
Service
ELIMINATE THE
MOVING ARMS

Something new in a signal light will
shortly be adopted on the main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t is
said to be better than daylight and
will be used night and day. Tests arc
now being made on the Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Middle and Pittsburgh
divisions
The new light will be used for both
semaphore signals and, it is said, will
do away with both motion and color
These lights will be used principally
on the electrified branches. Where
electric power can be had on other
portions of the main line the new
lights will also be put in service, il
is said Men in charge of the signals
on the Pennsylvania railroad call the
new device a "beam light"
The new arrangement will do away
with all motion, and with the sema-
phore arms, whose positions indicate
The signals, Instead of the latter.
three lines of incandescent lamps are
permanently fixed in the three stand
ard signal positions taken by the
arms. The signal desired is obtained
by lighting the line of lights in the
position for which the signal is de-
sired. The same lamps. which throw
off yellow light, are used for day and
night signals alike. During the day
the light is stronger TO counteract the
daylight, and so distinct is this light
that it can be seen in the brightest
daylight a distance of 1000 feet or
more. Scareheads of newspapers may
be read by them at night 1000 feet
distant, under the day voltage. hence
it is necessary to dampen them down
at night.
The lights are controlled automatic
ally exactly as are the regular sema-
phore signals, an advantage, amone
others, being that all failures due to
the moving parts of mechanism. and
all freezing and sticking. are elimin-
ated
