foothold, which they have now aban-
doned.
From beginning to end the opera
tions at the Dardanelles present a
record of disappointment and disaster
to Great Britain. Constantinople is
safer today than at any time since
Turkey entered the war, and a British
army of over 100000 men has been
sacrificed in the bootless adventure.
A steady wastage Of Is per cent.
month of the total number Of Brit
ish soldiers in the fields is the esti-
mate, based on experiences gained in
the war, made by Under Secretary of
War Tenant for the future guidance
of the nation in preparing to increase
it's military strength. Yet for months
at stretch there have been no heavy
engagements, only the sustained fight
ing in trench warfare, chiefly with ar
tillery at long range. If the losses Of
the British army which are frankly ad-
mitted, increase regularly in this pro-
portion, what must they be by this
time in the French, Russian and Ger
man armies, which are larger and
have been put to severer tests than the
British?

WHEN THE WAR IS OVER.

The London Times, in its engineer
ing department, states facts which
have no little significance for Ameri-
cans. 1t asserts that women work
ers, indeed, put to tasks formely ex-
clusively performed by men and un-
trammelled by trade union regula-
tions, have frequently made higher
output than men engaged on the
same job" 1t points out that there
has thus been recruited a greater
mass OF new and largely skilled labor
fro mthis unexpected source and in
Inmates that when the men return
from the trenches the supply Of cheap
skilled labor will be so great as to be
embarrassing, adding that employers
and trade unions must devise means
to utilize this army of employees" if
serious labor troubles are to be avoid.
ed. 1t is to avert the likelihood Of
England's solving he labor problems
by flooding the United States with
cheap products of this "army of in
dustrial workers" that republican
statesmen urge a revision of the tariff
along protection lines. They realize
that if ;. the democratic tariff bill re.
mains,s hra force, Great Britain will
simply stpansfer' her labor troubles td

GUARDING AGAINST THE GRIP.

GUARDING AGAINST THE GRIP.
An epidemic of the grip of unusual
severity exists in Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Washington and elsewhere in
the country.
The ways Of influenza are as myster-
1ous as the ways of Providence, and
the fact that this city has thus far
remained immune from it is no guar
antee that the immunity will continue.
There are no atmospheric or other
conditions peculiar to the city which
constitute prophylactic against the
disease
If Bismarck is to escape the grip,
every individual citizen should make
it his care to avoid the debilitated con-
dition which most conduces to the
grip. II pains are taken to avoid
exhaustion, undue exposure to the
weather, excess in eating and drink
ing, and in particular to nurse neg
lected colds and pay attention to per-
sonal hygiene, the community may
avert through the vigilance of the
individual the epidemic from which
other cities are suffering.

Thomas A. Griffith, whose sugges.
tion was. commented upon in yester-

whereof he speaks. We have those
among " who ARE ''hungering and
thirstingiI for, the simplest and most
rudimentary education. We have
more than one who can neither read
nor write and who are of high school
age. One reason for this is poverty,
another, the stupidity of the parents.
who also are unable to read or write
even their own names, consequently
they have no realization of the value
of an education. 1t is surely great
pity that with our splendid education.
al law any boy or girl should grow to
man and womanhood with barely a
glimpse of a grade school education,
yet this is the case with very many of
the second generation of these folk.

The high school is a far more at.
tractive and sanitary building than
the Will school. Will it prove too
great an expense to open room
there instead Also, it is equipped
with typewriters and these are invalu.
able in facilitating the study of Eng.
lish. Beyond a doubt, given q
months time, an experienced teacher
and plenty of advertising the required
number of students can be secured.
The beginning of course would have
to be with few but these would
bring others and so work would grow.
Personally, l have had over years
experience with those seeking an edu.
cation and know there is a growing
demand for a night school.
Another reason Tor opening room
in the high school is that these stud
ents are grown men and women and
the seats in the Will school are not
adapted for the use of any above the
sixth grade. The German. English
dictionaries at the high school also
would be helpful to the German speak.
ing students.

school will in the near future become
a reality. u.

EUROPE AND THE PRESIDENT.

EUROPE AND THE PRESIDENT.
Col George Harvey hurries home
from London to tell US that next to
the kaiser" President Wilson is "the
most unpopular governmental head in
the world" 1t appears that there is
no feeling against Americans but there
is real bitterness against the present
administration" and we are all ex-
pected to be very low in our minds
because the policy Of the American
government does not command the ap-
proval of London. ,...e 49, ...
1T would not be difficult for Presi-
dent Wilson to be popular in London.
Indeed he could easily be more popu-
lar there than any member of the
British government. If he would
simply let the British foreign Office
dictate the foreign policy Of the Unit
ed States government, the thing would
bes done. London does not ask us to
come into the war, Itswould be salts

A CAMPAIGN OF BLUNDERS.

British losses of 112,921 at the Dar-
danelles up to Dec. II represent over
20 per cent. of Great Britain's total
loses in the war to date. To these
figures must be added 96,683 sick ad-
mitted to. hospitals. About the French
losses the government at Paris, in
pursuance of its policy of silence, has
given out no Information.
For the fearful price paid, Great
Britain has nothing to show but tho
confessed failure OF a campaign mark
ed by amazing miscalculations and
irretrievable blunders. ..:...
The whole purpose of sending an ex-
pedition to the Gallipoli Peninsula
was to strige crushing blow at Tur-
key by the capture of Constantinople.
If in the early days of the war the
British fleet has pursued the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau through
the Dardanelles and destroyed them,
Turkey would have been cowed and
kept from joining the central powers
Again, last March the feet failed to
follow up the bombardment of the forts
and lost the opportunity to reach Con-
stantinople Policy may have dictated
the first landing of troops in Gallipoli
in the hope Of relieving the pressure on
Russia. but the forces were insufficient
and were halted for good few miles
iland, under the guns of their own
warships. BY the time the landing at
Svula Bay was effected last August
the Turks were fully prepared against
surprise. Through. bad generalship
the British troops suffered terrible
slaughtersand gained only a precarious
