Knox Entente Forces are

which Tor Prussian militarism would be
only stratagem for hiding preparations
for fresh aggression.
"They know well that the seas are
closed to them, that they have lost their

that the allies rely less on the geograph-
zeal positions OF their trenches than on
the condition of their troops and their
reserves, their capacity for resistance
and offensive, and the moral tempera
ment of their peoples and their armies
"We are fighting not for home alone,
but for honor and life. To be or not to
be; that is the painful problem imposed
on the conscience OF the great European
nations.

our invaded provinces and those seized
forty-six years ago, for reparation for
the violation of rights at the expense of
France and her allies, and for the guaran-

President Poincare's address was de
livered in connection with the celebration
Of the French national holiday. The pres.
ident bestowed decorations on the fami |
lies OF soldiers who have fallen at the |
front. He said the holiday this year was
the occasion of an expression of the ma

to save it. Turning towards the families
of the dead soldiers, he said;
ITO you ladies especially, address the
deep and respectful thanks of our coun-

moral exaltation burns within you. You
have proved once again that you are the

ress, as well as to urge upon administra
tive school officers, teachers and patrons
throughout the nation the imperative ne
cessity for improving the rural schools
Secretary Lane of the department OF
the interior in his annual report for 1915
to the president of the United States
sounds clarion call for a nationwide
campaign for better rural schools. He
urges upon Congress the appropriation
! of 100000 for two or three years. with
which to wage this campaign For a
cabinet officer to take such a bold stand
for the long neglected rural school gives
new hope to the friends of rural educa
tion throughout the country.
In educational opportunity the city
boy and girl have privileges far superior
to those of the farm boy and farm girl.
In funds, in length of term, in equipment,
in buildings, in administration and su-
pervision. in courses Of study, in eff
cheney of the teaching force, and in sal
aries paid, the superiority Of the city
schools is so far above that of the rural
schools as to make the situation in many
sections of the country deplorable. 1t
has been so desperate in many instances
during the past p years. when contrast
ed with the splendid opportunities Of the
city school. that it is given more times
than any other reason by fathers and
mothers for moving from the farm to the !
CITY. For, as Secretary Lane declares:

cation can he had for their children. I
There Is no sense in talking Of the charms I
