u. S. TURNS ATTENTION TO
MAKING MEXICO CITY
NEUTRAL TERRITORY

WASHINGTON. April 3D. With the
insult TO the flag given at the time
John B. MCManus was killed by Zap
atistaS in Mexico City. "A CLOSED incl
dent" and the matter of the McManus
indemnity settled Sec'y OF State
Bryan today gave his attention TO his
efforts to make Mexico City neutral
territory.
Ii is admitted i'm administration
circles that should the Washington
government succeed in obtaining an
agreement between the various MeXi-
can factions to keep from lighting in
and around the capital and also TO
permit free traffic over the railroads
from there to Vera Cruz. the United
States will have obtained a firm hold
on the situation. Close observers OF
the Mexican problem believe that with
the United states practically directing
the railway, the gradual pacihcation
of Mexico might be obtained without
recourse TO arms.
Private advices to the capital today
indicated that Gen. Villa is having
trouble collecting his tax of 800. 600
pesos recently imposed on foreigners
at Monterey. These dispatches stated
that the residents of Monterey haven't [
taken readily to the levy and that
Villa may find himself in serious
trouble if he should try to collect the
tax by force.

BRITAIN ADMITS
ENORMOUS TASK
IN DARDANELLES
Reduction of Outer Forts Gave
Wrong Impression of the
Strength of Inner Works
Prepare for Long Siege.

LONDON. April 3.-While the cam
paign OF the allies against the Turks
in the Dardanelles theater of opera
tiOns has not been abandoned. it was
admitted in admiralty circles today
that the reduction of the Turkish
works defending the strait Will take
much longer than was originally
thought. The comparatively easy re-
ductiOn OF the outer defenses, at the
western entrance, gave a wrong i'm
preston Of the strength Of the inner
works. The Anglo-French fleet has
found the inner forts both powerful
and cleverly constructed, new works
having been built under the super
vision Of German engineers.
The Times warns the English people
that they must expect heavy losses in
the Dardanelles lighting if the strait
is TO be forced and the way opened TO
COnstantinople. During the lull in the
attacks the Turks, working under di-
rectlOn of German experts, have
strengthened the forts that were dam
aged and built new works, mounting
guns in more advantageous positions.
The Dardanelles will prove hard nut
for 8he allies to crack
The following dispatch was received
by the Times from Mitylene: Except
for a few shots on March % and a
reported bombardment by the Queen
Elizabeth of the Turkish positions
near the head Of the gulf of Saros.
there has been no fighting recently on
the Dardanelles. The British public
will have to be prepared To accept
heavy losses with equanimity. The
Turks and Germans, owing to the
weather and other reasons, have had
time to strengthen greatly their posi-
tions on both sides of the strait. They
have a fair supply OF artillery and
their artillery positions are excellent.
In fact, the guns on the ships cannot
reach all the Turkish batteries"
During the bad weather the Turks
have also been strengthening the Bos-
phorus forts against another attack
by the Russians.

Or. Hillegas. Grading depends en-
tirely upon the judgment of the in
diVidual teacher and there is no
standard 10y which the instruction
may be guided. Until such time as
there is some method of measuring the
product OF education established we
must go ahead in the haphazard man
ner of the present.
II don't. believe there is an institu-
ton in the country where it is so diff
cult for the parent to receive justice.
Any wise parent usually leaves the
school alone because he cannot come
out ahead in the long run. The parent
sees the report card of the child,
makes inquiries of the teachers who
show the book with a. certain mark
If the parent cares 20 risk going over
the teachers head to the principal he
finds the same figures and no satisfac-
tiOn. We school teachers have a beau
tiful system OF covering up our own
tracks"
In regard to English composition the
speaker asserted that there was a
double increase in efficiency among
the pupils between the fourth and
eighth grades. He said that when the
average pupil leaves high school he is
lucky if he writes as well as he did
when he entered. The difficulty, ac-
cording TO the speaker, lies in the fact
that every teacher has q different
standard for grading.
Some Can't Detect Merit
' There is a generous Sprinkling OF
teachers in our school who do not
know what merit in English compost
tiOn is he declared. The same is
true of penmanship. After passing
the fifth grade any pupil can distin-
guish good writing.
The scales and standards of meas
urementS are sure To come. 1t is a
protection for the teachers as we'll as
an advantage for education and from
the standpoint Of stated requirements
1t is essential that the teachers get be-
hind this movement for measures and
standards in the school room studies -

ALBERT OF BELGIUM.

have been trying to think of a fig ure in the pages of history like unto Albert of Belgium. The world has seen many kings driven from their thrones and country by their own people. The world has seen many kings deposed and driven into exile or carried into slavery or prison, but what king is there who has been driven from his kingdom by foreign foe and who on foreign soil, continued to fight at the head of his army which he managed to save? I expect there has been such a one, but just now l do not remember him. This much is certain, that there is none more pathetic and posterity will agree that there has been none more high-souled or more heroic. And some day he will come back It may be six months or it may be siv years, but the day will dawn when Albert will come back king in his own fair king dom.-National Magazine

ians that the Order in Council of that period was the real beginning of the trouble leading to the war of 1S12-15. At that time England contended that all food stuffs were contraband. and reserved to herself the right to seize all cargoes. The United States pro- tested in vehement fashion and the
 British order was modified to the de-
 gree that If Britain so desired the cargo could be purchased and the ves-
 sel released after being granted due allowance for freight. The conditions attending the order are being practi-
 cally duplicated at present and the
 contentions of President Wilson are in
 general principles exactly similar to those of Thomas Jefferson, at that time Secretary of State, and who stated in terms almost identical with those of President Wilson that "She may, in- 1 deed feel the desire of starving an enemy nation, but she has no right to do so at our loss nor of making us the Instruments of it." As in the present case the United States also refused to IrecogniZe that food stuffs could justly be declared contraband.

One of the most monumental tasks attending the conduct of the present war is that one to which but little thought is devoted by the average per son. namely, the feeding of the great armies There are doubtless few who stop for a moment to think what it means to furnish the food for the mil lions of men now in the field in Europe and also what it means to deliver the food to them when it is ready for con sumption. In fact the word million puzzles the average person more than it informs him. For instance, the total population of Alaska multiplied by about fifteen will approximate mill lion men and yet this is only about one tenth part of the total number engaged in the great struggle-for there are assuredly not less than ten million men in the field at the present time and they are due to get three meals a day save under the most restrictive That is to say, that if the of all of the New England states, with the state of Texas thrown in for good measure. were all males and they all had to be fed, if possible. three times a day, that would about measure up with the task of providing for the men now under arms in Europe
