CURRENT COMMENT
Mr.. Brandeis Confirmed.

President Wilson has had his way. The
Senate's confirmation of his appointment
of Mr.. Louis ID. Brandeis to the supreme
court is a presidential victory. Yet il
may not strengthen the president with
his party, the opposition TO Mr.. Brandes
not having been limited to Republicans
Indeed, three OF these we're in the ma
jority of forty-four who yesterday con
irmed the appointment, and two more
were paired for confirmation. But in
the minority of twenty-five there was
only one Democrat, Senator Newlands
being the solitary member of the party
who would not bend to the will of its
official chief So the other malconteuts
submitted, though perhaps rather sui
kily. The pairing of Senator's Clspp and
Gronna in favor Of confirmation was not
wholly unexpected, and no great sur
prise may be caused by the appearance
Of that somewhat curious Republican
trio, Senator'S Ia Toilette, Norris and
POindexter, as voters on the same side.
though the probability is that each Of
them gave his vote for a reason differ
ent from that entertained by either Of
the Others. Il is pleasing TO have the
question decided and removed from pub
lie attention. The controversy was not
edifying. BY the Senates vote the SUI
preme court Of the United States re.
ceives into it, membership a strong, pen
etrating and independent mind, whose
faculty for seeing al sides OF q question
y an Appropriate judicial equipment.
Congratulations 20 Mr.. Justice Brsndeis.

THE FRENCH REVERSE AT vAUx.

THE FRENCH REVERSE AT VAUX.
The turning of events in the fighting
on the Verdun front has changed decisive
ly in favor of the Germans during the
past week, the eliminating event being
the capture of Fort Vaux. the second
fortress taken by them in their progress
toward Verdun. This fortress was re-
ported by them to have been captured
early in the tremendous drive. but sub
sequent events showed the inaccuracy Of
the report although they did succeed in
getting some men into the outer works
only to have them elected at once. That
was last March when the erroneous re-
port was given out to the world In
the three months intervening the Ger
mans have been paying attention more
closely to operations on the west bank Of
the Meuse river and have not tried Sc
riously to reduce Fort Yaux. The French
advance on Fort Douaumont east Of the
Meuse seems to have directed the stten-
tion Of the attackers toward the east
side Of the river again; and as result
great pressure was brought to bear on
the defenses Of Fort Vaux after the
French had been driven back at Fort
Douaumont. For seven days the greater
German battering was directed at
the Vaux Notifications and finally the
French lines of communication were
broken. 80 that the defenders were borne

THE CLOSE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR

Ill NiSCA'A$ "a ILL teNiioCiS is@AIS
Another school year has come to a
close in Barre, leaving a record which is,
in the main, satisfactory to the people Of
the community. No marked deviation in
policy has been attempted; rather has
the effort been directed toward making
more effective the policy which had been
established. That a considerable measure
of success has attended that effort is Ger
tain. The schools have been conducted
with a great degree of harmony among
school officials and teachers, as well as
between teachers and pupils Superin-
tendent White and Principal Jackson
have earned the appreciation of the citi-
zens because of their conscientious and
efficient work in their respective depart
ments, and the coming year there should
be material advance in many lines
Those who have been graduated from
the high school are urged land this is a
repetition OF what we have frequently
said to get busy in the real meaning OF
the expression. Those graduates who
heretofore have lolled about and Jagged
behind when their fellows were taking
their work seriously can testify now to
the handicap which they placed upon
themselves by their INDIGESTION or disin-
clination to decide. The graduates who
are going to college or special schools
already have their work cut out for
them; those who intend to take up some
activity without further training in
school or college should begin just as
soon as possible. 1t is poor policy for
any of them, and we speak more espe-
cially Of the young men in the class, to
depend upon their parents entirely for
their maintenance from this time on.
Self-reliance can be developed mmeasur
ably by striking out for themselves; and
that self-reliance win be splendid quail
ity for them to possess. In any event,
no member of the class should become
cheap loafer.

The German admiralty is still claiming
that its fleet was the victor in the battle
off Jutland and did not run away from
the British That being the case, it may
be expected that the feet will come back
for another whack at the British, for no
conqueror would consent to stay cooped
up in a naval base while the other fleet
was steaming about the open sea waiting
to be defeated again. The Germans can
easily prove they were the winners of the
recent big clash by coming out and offer
ing battle again. The world waits.

that France is not in a position to be

OPPOSED TO BIG NAVY.
Logan Resolutions Fail Of Approval BY
Webster City Commercial League.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Feb. 4.-The Webster
City Commercial League is opposed to
the United States building a navy that
shall De second TO none ia the world, "
And so the resolutions sent here by
Adjutant General Guy Logan. Of Des
Moiaes. with the request That they be
passed by the league were, turned down
by the board. the vote being ave to
two. a. .r
Resolutions are being sen, out Of the
office Of the adjutart general TO every
town and cily in the state. The re-
quest is m&de that they be passed and
forwarded to the senators from Iowa
and the representative from the dis
trict- The resolutions contain two
paragraphs on preparedness" The
opening paragraph derna nds that the
United States shall construct a navy
! Second to none The second para
graph asks that the national guard be
put upon the Swiss plan and recon
structed into a Continental army
under which every citizen would be
eligible TO serve. the limit Of service
being three years. Citizens under IS
and over -, OF course, would not be
eligible under This plan.
The discussions. participated in by
the Webster City league directors

second paragraph. but the first para
graph met with strenuous objections.
Webster city is the first town in Iowa,
So far as known here. which has turned
this resolution down in its entirety.
Another resolution asked by the ad ..
jutant general was unanimously
passed Il referred" 10 the national
