Factory System Supreme.

The experience of Massachusetts,
and New York, the two states which
have been at work longest on voca-
tional educatio shows that far more
is Involved than the establishment and
maintenance Of trade schools for
skilled Industries, important as thiB is.
There seems little doubt that addi-
Iional investigation and experience will
reveal still more clearly that the num-
Der of men and women engaged in
skilled industries for which definite
trade schools are desirable is much
smaller than has been generally sup
posed. and that q system of voca-
I:onaI education which can lay any
claims 10 completeness must make
large provision for boys and girls who
are engaged. or soon will be engaged
in unskilIed and low -srade skilled in
dustries.
This problem is less serious in Ger
many than in the United States be-
cause the handicrs,ft system there has
VuhStood better the croachments of
the factory system. According to re-
cent figures. 81 per cent OF German in
dustry is still carried on under the
handicraft system, while in this coun-
try the proportion has fallen to 3 per

provision for the unskilled worker as

from 1870 to $50 O'Clock in the after
coon.
Out-of-door trips to the parks. mu-

ing. A few of these trips were taken
last year, but the number will be
greatly increased this year.

AMERICAN OIL CANS
USED IN MAKING
RATS IN EGYPT

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Feb. 12.-American oil cans
figured prominently in the first attempt
of the advance guard of the Turkish
army seeking to invade Egypt to cross
the SueZ Canal. The Turkish RATS
were floated by these cans-a fact sug-
gested some time ago and smiled at
by doubling Englishmen. But a British
correspondent on the Canal telegraph
ing under date of Feb. 10 confirms the
story.
After telling of the repulse of the
Turks in that preliminary skirmish
during which only four of the invaders,
subsequently captured, succeeded in
crossing the waterway, he says of
RATS. The pontoon boats are made of
galvanized steel RATS, ingeniously con-
structed of American "tenekeS" as kerr
osene tins are styled in Turkey, at
tached to one another by hooks and
rings fitted into wooden frames. A
large wooden structure, apparently a
raft fitted on wheels and alternative

have been made informally by the
United States government to both
ing a basis for an understanding On
the subject Of foodstuffs for the CT
william population Of belligerents and
submarine warfare against merchant
ships. The proposals have been
guarded with the utmost secrecy.
The wrecking Of the first vessel. the
Evelyn, was viewed by President Will
son as q tragic accident, due to the
possible failure Of the captain to heed
the German adniralty's instructions
respecting the location Of its mine
fields. officials were inclined tonight
to think the Carib disaster was OF 4
similar nature, though they had no
official advices.
AS for the proposals made to the

are Of far-reaching importance. Ihey
were embodied in a confidential mem

Page and Gerard were instructed by
President Wilson to take up informal

WHICH BOMBARDED CALAIS

M.-Warning Of the approach of the
Zeppelin which bombarded this city
yesterday morning was given the sem
tries by the throbbing of the engine
as it came rapidly from the sea at
height of about 1000 feet. The air.
ship flew straight across the city to-
ward the Fontinette station, dropping
no bombs on the way. The first mis-
sile fell when the Zeppelin was above
the point where the railroad tracks
intersect. 1t went through the foot
bridge and struck the track leading
to Dunkirk. The dirigible then rose
somewhat higher in the air and drop
ped five bombs in rapid succession.
All fell in the vicinity of the railroad.
One burst in the courtyard Of
houses close to the grade crossing, de-
molishing a shed and breaking win
dows. The occupants of the houses
escaped without injury.
Other bombs fell in the garden and
on the roof Of a little house in the
Rue Dognien. An old man and lit
tie girl asleep in the garnet and the
family, consisting Of the father, moth
err and two children. which occupied
the ground floor of the cottage, were
buried in the ruins. All were killed
except one child. a baby, five months
old, which was not even injured. The
front of the house was cut off as
Clearly as though it had been done
by a gigantic knife. The violence Of
the explosion shook the neighboring
houses and broke windows within a
wide radius.
After dropping the bombs, the Yep
pelin disappeared rapidly over the
sea. 1t evidently was manned by pi-
lots well acquainted with the locality
since it came from the sea directly to

FRENCH TRENCH
The LOSS ABOUT 100
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Berlin, Feb. 15.-The destruction Of a
French trench by running saps up to it
and exploding dynamite therein is de-
scribed in letter from the front The
French had thrown up a trench $50
yards long only rs yards in front of
the German trench. The fact that it
was not supplied with loopholes, al
though 1t was occupied, appeared to
show that the occupants intended to
sap up to the German trench The Ger
mans decided to do likewise.
AT the end of IA days they had run
two tunnels up to within a yard or so
of the French trenches, and loaded
one with % and the other with 26
pounds Of dynamite. When all was
ready. the charges were fired, The
masses of earth hurled into the air
were so large that the arms of two of
the men in the German trenches were
broken.
Before the dust had settled, the men
rushed forward and sprang into the
destroyed trench. 1t had caved in for
most of it's length. Only few of the
enemy were seen. and these, who were
crawling from under heaps of soil,
could offer no resistance. They were
driven to the German trench, 81 pris
oners in all. The total French loss was
estimated at 100.
