continues after three months, during
which the French have advanced from
one to five miles along a fifty-mile
front. The French line runs from
northwest of scissors, through Rheims
to Auberive at present.
In June, 1917 the British began an
attack on Messines and Wyschaete in
an effort to straighten out the Ypres
salient. Again British flyers domi-
mated the air. The British had spent
an entire year mining the earth for
this offensive, which was begun with
an explosion so terrific that it was
heard in London. Beyond Messines,
for two miles east and northeast, the
British won and consolidated ground,
captured more than 400 prisoners and
great stores of artillery. Gaining ev-
cry objective, they placed themselves
astride the Ypres-Comines canal, hav-
ing advanced three miles On an eight
mile front Portuguese and Belgian
troops aided in this offensive. In re-
cent days the fighting has been con-
fined to raiding operations.
1t is estimated that during April
May and June the Germans suffered
100000 casualties on the western front
The Russians, having in June of 1916
begun an offensive from the Pripet
marshes to the Rumanian frontier,
speedily captured Czernowitz and the
rest of Bukowina, together with Brody
il Galicia, and in August they entered
Stanislau for the third time in the
war. These operations forced the Aus
o-Germans to relinquish lines they
had held throughout the winter of
1S15-1916.

MUSICAL AMERICA

America has never had a better On
portunity to become the musical cen-
ter of the world than she has TODAY
The war which has broken up Europe,s
classical institutions and shattered
their fame, makes a new center nee
essary.
Music has so long been associated
with Germany, Italy and other Euro
pean countries that to change the as
sociation has seemed difficult. Amer
lea has shown a lack of interest in
such things. She has produced no
musician ranking with the masters of
the Old World. Her musical aspira-
lions have not kept pace with her
Industrial ones.
Whenever an American had desire
OF becoming musician, he felt that

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

The Workmen's Compensation Bill
recently introduced in the General
Assembly, deserves the careful con.
sideration of every Missourian as well
as of the members of the legislature
Missouri has Jagged far behind the
other states in progressive indus
trial legislation and the proposed mea-
sure would do much to bring reform
of these laws up to date. Only about
ten per cent of those who are in in
dustrial accidents ever receive any
compensation under the present sys-
TEN.
The bill up for consideration would
provide for compensation by the EN-
p!oyer for accidents caused to any
employe who receives less than $500
year. The extent of the remunera-
tion would be fixed by disinterested
parties.
That the industry should pay for
accidents as for any other commodity |
in the manufacture of articles is the |
principle involved in the proposed
law. Accidents are bound to occur
in any complicated form of industry
and as such, they should be included
in the cost of production of the article.
OF the justice of compensating the
workman for injuries received in the
daily grind of machinery there is little
question. Liability for injury is one
of the lesser demands of labor upon
capital and should be enforced by ,
law. Il

"PETTICOAT GOVERNMENT

Women have held different public
offices in nearly every section of the
country where suffrage has beer
adopted, but it has remained fol-
Cmatilla, Ore, a town in the middle
of former wild west" region, to in
stall a complete feministic govern
ment. Starting their campaign last
fall as joke, the women became Sc
riously interested and defeated the
men candidates at the polls by a good
magin. A mayor, recorder, treasur-
er and the majority of the council
are women.
The new mayor, who ran against
her husband in the election, formally
took charge of the government and
Immediately announced a strong, Wig
orous policy of action as set forth in
a short message to the new council
Starting in her message, which was
read by mere man holdover from the
old government, that she believed any
of the new council were as capable
and competent as any man who ever
was in the council, Mrs. Starcher mt
her belief into action by appointing
four committees made up entirely of
the new members.
Just how this isolated experience
in "petticoat" rule will work ont re-
mains to be seen, but a guess NAV no
hazarded that it will not be to tho
discredit of the women. Wherever
women have entered into competit;on
with men, whether in education. busi-
ness or political, they have Demon
strated their equal energy and ability
and this latest experiment promises
to be no exception.

Crowded Curricula.

Editor the Missourian: The deman,
for broader, more practical, more fun
damental education grows constant
ly, and curricula grow accordingly
Where is it to cease?
The answers are hOpelessly con
Trajectory, for it is the underlyine
problem of all society. The econo.
mist would have the child educated in
how to labor and how to spend and
save. The doctor advocates instruc-
tion in personal hygiene and public
Nhealth. The musician insists that
each child must have the God-given
spark of music cultivated. The artist
asks that artistic tendencies be nur-
tured. Business men find various
curricula in need of courses in sales
manship and Office methods. House.
keepers find that household science
is most necessary. A thousand 9TH
er legitimate demands on the public
school are put forth.
Withal, every one is persuaded that
the schools must give to each child
stock of general information, the abil-
ity to think clearly and to concentrate
on the job, most of the moral vir-
tues, a strong body, and sufficient
knowledge of games and other froth
of life to be a fully developed indi-
vidual
That the present public school sys-
tenn cannot educate in accordance with
the increasing demands is evident.
Four possible solutions are suggested:
Women may be trained so that they
can and will act as instructors in
he home. This condition is impos-
'ible in many families.
A longer period of dependency |
which would give the child a longer
period of preparation might be pos-
ible. But this solution may be reach
ID only through extensive economic
.hanges.
A large part of the curriculum
night be sacrificed in order to prop
rly handle the remaining subjects.
However, the determination of what
hall be sacrificed is opposed by the
resent tendency to add more and
1ore.
Schools may be organized so that
lore may be taught in a given time.
his feasible plan aims to interlock
II possible sources of learning and
bolish all disturbing factors in the
chool. 1t is such a reform of the
ublic school system which now seems
lie only solution of the problem of

two or three years study abroad was

can make for herself a place in the

vors, to place this country at the head

EXEMPTION OF SHIPYARD
EMPLOYEES FROM SERVICE
Plan Considered by Shipping Board
to Expedite Work to Meet Gov
ernment's Demands.

In order to make certain the carrying
out of its great shipbuilding program
of 100000 tons by March l and some
100000 tons in the next two years,
the shipping board has under consider
alton the question of recommending ex-
emption from military service for all
men employed in shipyards.
Chairman Hurley conferred last night
with President Wilson. This matter is
understood to have been discussed
The expansion of present yards and
the building of many new ones in order
to meet the governments requirements
for both merchant and war vessels has
created a great demand for workers in
the trade. Sufficient skilled men are
not available and new men must be
trained
Officials of the board think that men
thus trained should not be taken into
the military establishment, as the ship
building program is a most essential
one to the conduct of the war.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor Is understood to
favor the plan OF eAempting shipyard
employees and has assured the board OF
his cooperation.
