London, March 15.-lmportant gains
are claimed by the Germans after
Iea7y fighting west Of Verdun, but ap-
parently much of the territory cap
hred was retaken by the French in a
series OF violent counter attacks.
The official statement issued by the
Paris war office tonight says:
I'm Belgium, we have shelled with
rood effect the German trenches in
the region of Het Sas and LANCE
marck.
North of the Aisne, We have bonn
barded the outskirts of Vile du Bots.
In Champagne, an attack launch
Led by US against the German position
South of st. Souplet enabled us to oc-
|enpy German trench and take sew

West of the Meuse, the lombard
(ment during the day slackened appre-
|tiably on the front from Betthincourt
Ito Cumieres. No infantry action is
reported there.
"0n the right bank of the Meuse,
fhere has been rather great activity in
1 the region of VauX and Damloup
several skirmishes with hand gren-
AIDES were instigated by our advanced
detachments, in the slope of the Fort

foot Of the Meuse hill have been bonn.
carded. Our artillery has been very
active on the whole of the front, es-
pecially to the east of Wavrille wood
where an artillery convoy was dis
persed, and around the HannonZelles
mill, north of Fresnes-Nen-Woevre
where our fire caused heavy explo'
sion in a German battery"

Although there was great excite

at no time was there any danger to
the members of the faculty or the
students, because of the fact that the
fire occurred while the building was
empty, pupils and teachers being
elsewhere at luncheon.

OTTINCY'S MIDDLE.

Things are getting TO the frayed
edges, if not to the pretty pass" de-
elared by the Quincy Mass Patriot,
when reputable citizen" cannot go
to the Quincy city hall on Legitimate
business" without being 'insulted, -
called a "loafer' and ordered to get
out" The reason why things are get
ting to the frayed edges--chiefy the
nerves of the inha bitants there's be-
cause of the action of the assessors in
raising the property assessments with a
view to lowering the tax rate. The dis
cussion has been on for month or more,
and the feelings of the citizens on both
sides of the question are worked up to
concert pitch hardly TO be expected in
a generally peaceable community like
Quincy, Complaint is made that the
city government in its efforts to get"
the big fellows, or the heavy property
owners, has raised the assessments be-
yond the logical point, so that taxation
amounts more to confiscation than an
equitable sharing of the burden of taxa
tion. The only satisfactory way out of
the dilemma seems to be to have dis
interested commission settle upon an
equitable assessment for all properties
whether big or small and then have the
taxpayers abide by the decision.

Gently conducted, seems to have educed
much the same observations as were
brought forth following the Survey" of
Vermont's educational system, including
the three colleges The chief fault found
with the work of the two institutions
was that there was an unnecessary du-
plication of effort in the Iowa State uni
versity and the Iowa State college 1t
is reasonable to expect that scattered eff
forts cannot accomplish so much as con-
centrated efforts along fewer lines; and
concentration, then, is the solution of
Iowa's problems of higher education In
other words each institution is to have
what is called major and service lines" !;
that is, Iowa State College of Agricul-
ture is to make agriculture a "maior"
line and English service or perhaps
a minor line; while Iowa State univer-
sity is to make English major line
and agriculture a service line, if car
red on at all. So on through the list of
subjects taken up in higher educational
character, it ought to be possible to
avoid duplication to a great extent.

Why Not Do 1t Here?

1t is reported that the colleges in Eng
land have arranged for an extensive and
interesting program of conferences on
afterwar problems and urgent public
questions this winter.
As neutral countries, and particularly
the United States, will be almost as
deeply affected by war problems as any
other country, why would it not be adj
yisable for all our institutions OF learn
ing, as well as all civic associations, to
adopt the British plan and thoroughly in
vestigate and discuss such economic
questions as are sure to arise in the
immediate future? There is already
some discussion in chambers OF commerce
and boards of trade in the United States
concerning probable changes in interna-
tional commerce after the war. But the
discussion should be more widespread
and be participated in by large groups
of public-spirited citizens in every COM
munity.
1t is customary to leave the discus
sion OF the great economic questions
arising in this country to men who are
generally more interested in politics than
in the real welfare of the people. After
elections these political takers become
silent on the very subjects which as
listed them to carry out their political
plans. But if colleges, societies and
commercial associations throughout the
land impartially investigate the obvious
problems soon to confront us there ought
to be a good collection of data that will
point the way to useful remedies for de-
fective economic conditions,--Boston
