London, April 10 G0:S0 p. MI
There has been a considerable eXten-
sion of the battle fields both III the
Carpathians and in the WoeVre dis
tricts of France, where fighting OF eN-
treme violence continues by day ana
night, without. however, any dellhlte
decision having been reached
The Russians have made themselves
masters of the principal chain OF
mountains from DulSla pass to Uzsok
pass and have begun an attack on the
German forces which hold the NUS
from the latter pass eastward TO thd
Beskid pass. This section of the car
pathians has been the scene, since
early February, of many fierce en-
counters between the Germans, who
were sent to help the Austrlans in
their fruitess efforts to relieve Pre-
mysl, and the Russian army, whose
task it was to hold them back until
the fall of the fortress.
Now, this German army has been
given another task-that of trying 10
prevent the Russians from straighten-
inc out their line which Is necessary
before the invasion of Hungary Is un-
dertaken. 1t is apparent that tins
army has succeeded in at least check
ing the Russian advance. as the Aus
trian official report claims a victory
for the Germans in this sector, whlle
the Russians admit that they have
been unable to capture Hill 992, which
lies about midway between Uzsok pass
and Beskid pass.
No Speedy Conclusion Expected.
AS the Russians have immense
forces at their disposal and splendid
railways to take them to the front
confidence is expressed they viii sue

FOR SAFETY At SEA
Marine Signaling Prevents Many
Collisions.
Not as Well Known as 10 Wireless
TeIegraphy, But Equally as Val
liable to the Commerce Of
the World.

Wireless telegraphy. as a means of
communication across great bodies of
water, has achieved a permanent place
In the popular imagination; but there
Is another method OF marine signaling
which has prevented many collision
in the last few years. and is scarcely
less valuable to the merchant marine
than wireless telegraphy, yet remains
wholly unknown to the majority OF
people. This Is submarine signaling,
which utilities the water as the
medium for sound transference In
stead OF air. The vibrations are sent
through the water by means OF a
bell fixed to the side of the ship. and
are recorded by an instrument called
a microphone.
This device has been In use only a
few years. and Is suitable for signal
Ing only short distances. so that its
principal use is In tho prevention OF
collisions. Recent experiments. how
ever, indicate that Its range may be
increased to IS or even so miles. and
that Il may be possible to send the
signals from moving ship by means
of a telegraph key. II these develop
ments are made practicable. the sub
marine signal will become an ideal
means of communication between sub
marines and battleshipa. and between
battleships In action. regardless Of
whether the masts carrying the wire
less antennae have been shot away.
Furthermore. an Increased range
for this means OF signaling would
make IL possible to surround the
coasts of every country with wall
of sound" so that ships lost in fog.

In the American Magazine appears
an account of Mrs Dismukes, Negro
laundress in Fisk university at Nash
vile. Tenn, who. out of her small
means has given 81 900 toward music
building for Fisk university. Forty
nine other thousands are necessary IL
the building is to be realized, but Mrs.
Dismukes has infinite faith that they
will be forthcoming. Following is an
extract from the account of what this
woman has done. The article was
written by tho late Dr. George A.
Gates. the late president of Fisk uni
versity:
Her story Is almost too sacred TO
put into print. She felt and feels that
all of life that Is worth while she owes
to Fisk university and what 1t has
revealed to her of the spirit of high
minded and 6 .nerous men and wom-
en-. She has felt that all she could
do was too little in return for what
she has received. So this hardwork-
ing faithful and efficient Negro wom-
an has kept her home, her husband
maintaining it with mans self-re-
spect She meantime has done her
full work and borne her full responsi.
bility in her place In the institution.
For the last four years she has turned
back her monthly salary check into
the institution, until just now she has
completed her long cherished plan to
give $1,000 as the beginning OF a
fund for a music building on our
campus.
On the day that the last SIS was
turned into the school treasury. COM
plotting the thousand, Mrs. Dismukes
declared she wouldn't exchange places
with anyone. that she was the hap
piest woman in the world.
The music building has not yet ma
terialized. but her faith is nndannted.
and she frequently remarks TO some
teacher in the music department; OF

That education Is the solution of the
Negro problem in the United States is
the practical and proved theory being
advanced today by the enlightened
men and women both of the white and
colored races. When one considers
that it was only little more than half
a century ago that the Negro was
freed from bondage in this country.
the advancement made by these peo-
pie In almost every walk and profess
sion of life Is almost remarkable.

While Negroes increased numerical
ly In the United States between 1900
and 1910 to the extent OF liz per
cent. they did not keep pace with the
whites. That was due to immigra-
ton. On this account there has been
a continuous decrease In the proper
ton OF Negroes to the rest Of the IN
habitants In 1870 Negroes made up
nearly one-fifth of the population: In
1910 they composed slightly over one
tenth.
Further, the number of mulattoes
appears TO have increased continuous
ly during the last forty years. or
the 9,S27,763 Negroes in the country
al the time OF the last counting. more
than one-fifth we're OF mixed white
and Negro blood. That indicates how
prevalent is the process OF miscegena-
ton. a process through which In the
course OF thousand years or so the
Negro will have lost his color, ac-
cording to at least one anthropologist
of great reputation.
In 1900 20 per cent of Negro
homes we're owned. In 1910 the per
centage had grown to ga. In Vir-
ginia ALB per cent OF all Negro homes
were owned, an extremely high fig
ure.
Virginia, however, had fewer Me-
groes in 1910 than IL had decade
previous. From Virginia 206,764 Ne
groes migrated TO other states during
the ten-year period. Though popular
opinion in the South holds that Ne
groes "go North when they move.
Arkansas. a southern state. showed
the greatest gain from this migration.

The growing Iiteracy of the Ne
groes is an occasion for general ap-
prevail. In every city and state the
percentage of illiteracy among Negroes
is lower in younger generations than
In the older. In Georgia, for example,
among Negroes from ten TO fourteen
years old the percentage of those who
can't write was 22.1. Among those be-
tween twenty-five and thirty-four years
the percentage of illiteracy was 32.I.
Among those from fifty-ive to sixty
four years and over the percentage
was 70.2. The Negro Is taking advan-
tage OF the educational opportunities
at hand.
In Boston the number of Negro chill
dren who go to school is in a greater
proportion than the number OF native
white children in ten other census
cities But even SO, less than half of
the Negro children from six to twenty
years old are attending school. taking
the country as whole. These bare
figures, however, recount a record of
progress made possible only by tre-
mendous efforts. Within sixty years
OF freedom the Negro has achieve
ments to his credit of which any race
might be proud.
