Till report of Professor Harry Hayward of Della

when he was elected president of the Delaware Coop
eratye Educational Association. II reveals clearly
that he does not look upon the Office he holds as an
empty honor but that not only demands but should
receive his efforts TO make Il effective
Il Will be recalled that early in April the association
was formed at meeting held in Delaware College at
the instance Of United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton claxion and upon the invitation of Dr. Samuel
Chies Mitchell. president Of that college Commission
Caxton made it clear that he regards Delaware as
the best field in the United which to carry out
certain educational experiments and demonstrations
which the Federal Government has in mind He also
impressed upon those attended that meeting that

educational agencies in our State. The Delaware Co
operative Educational Association was organized TO
bring those agencies into play. Professor Hayward
was made its president Although only a month has
elapsed since he assumed Office ne has done much His

Fortunately, no matter what atti-

out the world. The originality and in

questioned among foreign business
men.
Il is a fact that European nations
have outstripped the United States in
most of the foreign markets osperial-
ly in South America, Asia, China,
Africa and Europe This has been
due. however. to the coherent govern

Austro-German success along the
Dunajcc. If the Teutonic Allies have
shattered Russian armies az this
point it, as German reports assert.
they have routed them as at the Ma
zurian Lakes, the end Of the Carpath-
ian campaign is in sight.
But it must be recalled at once how
inevitable it would be that Vienna and
Berlin should eXaggerate local suc-
cess, another brilliant stroke like that
before lpres two weeks ago. which
ended in a gain Of less than five miles
on a front OF about the same extent
and left the Allied lines intact Ital-
ian decision is hanging in the bal
anco. Turkish courage needs stimu-
lating in the present hour. German
and Austrian public sentiment would
be uscfully fortified by the reports
Of great success in the cast follow
ing the achievement in The west.
With this precautionary notice il is
possible 10 analyze clearly what the
latest Galician operation means. Look
at any map of the eastern and west
crn fronts and il will he seen that
each makes right angle In the
west the battle front descends FROM
the North Sea TO the Disc az Noyon
and then strikes Off in a perpondicu-
lar direction 10 the Meuse. In the east
the line descends from the Bzura
west Of Warsaw until il meets the
Carpathans south of Tarnow ami
then at right angles follows the range
for many miles to the Dniester.
What the AustrO-German comman-
ders have now attempted is wholly
analogous 10 the French attacks upon
thetGerman line north of Noycn and
about Peronne and ST. Quentin i'm
Sept 7mebr. Had the French sue
ceedcd they would have moved east
behind the German front from Noyon
to the Meuse. cutting the railways.
which were the life lines of the Ger
mans IN France. German retreat
from France would have been newt
able had this thrust succeeded.
Now, looking east, Il will be seen
that the front between the Carpath-
ians and the Vistula above Tarnow
exactly corresponds to the elbow i'm
the German position in France NE
tween Noyon and ST. Quentin. Could
the Germans break the Russian line
at that point they could advance. rak-
ing the whole Russian front along the
Carpathians
To save themselves the Russians
would have to draw their troops out
of the Carpathian passes. out OF tho
Dukla and Lupkow. the first of which
is barely twenty-five miles from tho
Dunajec-Biala front. where the Ger
mans are attacking The troops thus
withdraw would have TO be realigned,
facing west instead OF south. Mean
time the Austrian forces defending
the passes would pour into Galicia
and join hands with the Austro-G Ger

If the Austro-German forces have
won the success Berlin and Vienna

II OBERT r. LINCOLN chairman of the board Of di-
~ rectors of the Pullman Company. met fairly and
squaroly issue that had been raised before the
United States Commission Industrial Relations. Con-
ronted by the question whether he thought II right for
the company pay its porters Pullman wages
so low that they compelled to depend upon the
tips of passengers to obtain proper compensation for
their services. Mr.. Lincoln said he did
Il believe the system OF paying sleeping porters
should be changed and that the wages of Pullman car
conductors should be increased" he said. Both Of
these questions will be taken up by the company's di-
rectors in the future"
That attitude by the head of the rich and powerful
company will be pleasing to the travelling public for
two reasons. One is that will tend to relieve pas
from the tip nuisance that has for its founda
ton this time public knowledge of the fact that such
under-paid Of the company have tips TO
enable them TO live properly. The other is that Pull
conductors rule, men who are deserving
of proper compensation for service worthy performed

contemplate is they should have taken long ago.

Full Crew Bills
(From New orleans Times -Picayune.)

A year ago. "the full crew" bill
was in great favor. Il fixed the num-
Der OF employees who must be en-
ployed on every railroad train: and,
as was TO be expected. greatly in
creased these crews. The chief OBJ
lection raised was that the action was
taken without any investigation to
determine whether the increase pro-
posed was necessary or not and by
body (the legislature) that could not
have any direct or specific knowledge
on the subject. II was suggested that
the question be left TO the State rail-
road commission, which would be
needed for a full train crew and for
the protection Of passengers. with
out making it too heavy a burden and
unnecessary tax on the roads.
But the country was in bad hui
NOR with the railroads at the time
and was talking a great deal about
safety first" so il did not nvcsti-
gate the matter very thoroughly.
jumped at the conclusion that full
crews meant greater safety: and bill
after bill on this subject went through
State Legislatures until it seemed
only question of time when the sys-
tom would be in operation through
out the country. Even conservative
States like Pennsylvania and New
York, supposed to be over friendly to
the railroads. yielded to the pressure
and adopted the law passed up to
them The roads insisted that this
was entirely unnecessary. subjected
them 10 an increased expenditure Of
several hundred thousand dollars a
year and would compel them to cut
cut some of their trains or to increase
passenger rates. In spite of their
protests, "the full train" bill went
successfully on its way. regarded as 4

ton to the travelling public. II game
