ideas. Most of us will admit that
Germany has effected an economic
efficiency that exceeds that of any
other countries. She realized she
had come late; the game of nation
alism had to be played as never
before.
Just before the war broke out
something happened. England de-
parted from her custom of distrust
and granted Germany certain
things in Asia Minor. The path to
Asia Minor led through Serbia,
and Serbia come to figure in world
politics. Germany in 1914 de-
manded that the Austrian~Serbian
quarrel should be kept localized.
She thus violated international
law. On the ground of military
necessity she invaded Belgium,
more than neutral, an interna-
tional state. She thus denied that
any basis of international law en-
listed.
LAS the war progressed it be-
came apparent that in order to de-
feat Germany, there must be on
the part of the allied powers, the
control of the sea. This could be
gained only by the assistance of
neutral nations. If we denied that
England had right to maintain
a blockade, we became the part
isans of Germany. There was no
such thing as neutral nation.
Everything was cooperation with
somebody. Should we cooperate
with the nation which had already
shown twice that she would strike
at the bases of international
order? The position of neutrals,
as president Wilson said, became
intolerable. Germany by her de-
NAL that international order ex-
listed, forced cooperation she
showed to the world that there is
no such thing as an isolated ma
ton. She has proved that the bus
mess of competitive nationalism is
something that we cannot abide.
Germany today is the only great
nation that fails to endorse the
movement toward federation and
a league to enforce peace.
Victory in the present war can
come in two ways only: by revolu-
ton in the central countries or by
the defeat of every item in their

NEWARK POST, NEWARK, DEL, JULY Is, l9H

Public Information in Washington.
1t is a document of great value
and of great interest to Americans
and especially to purchasers OF
Liberty Bonds who are financing
the Government in maintaining
those things which this message
shows to be right and just and in
, fighting to the end against those
things which it denounces.
The message is accompanied by
a foreword which gives the rea-
sons for the publication and ex-
presses the hope that it may make
clearer the spirit and the facts
back of the decision made by the
Government and people of Am
erica.
The annotations to the message
are valuable in giving fuller de-
tails of matters and things which
were only briefly referred TO in the
document itself. Facts and figures
are set out in detail and constitute
Illuminating commentary on this
one of the greatest public docu-
ments in the history of the world.
Americanism and Pru ssianism
ale contrasted by comparing the
following expressions of national
ideals:
"The foundations of our nation
al policy will be laid in the pure
and immutable principles of priv
ate morality. There exists in the
course of nature an indissolvable
union between virtue and hap
piness. between duty and advant-
age, between honest policy and
public felicity, and the propitious
smiles of heaven can never be ex-
pected on union or government
that disregards the eternal rules of
order and right, which heaven it.

lars more, and the year before il
amounted to S2,095.S0. Apparent
ly the examinations required by
the State Board for admission have
had the effect Of greatly reducing
the revenue from this source for
the local district.
During the year l have collected
S326.50 as tuition from parents Of
nonresident pupils not benefiting
by provisions of Graded School
Law, the Secretary of the Board
has collected $500 and $21.00
still remain uncollected. The total
amounts to S362.5O. Last year the
amount collected from the same
source was S244.00.
AS my relations with the Public
Schools of Newark will terminate
with the presentation of this re-
port and as l am informed that my
successor will be upon the ground
in a few days, l shall not attempt
to make such recommendations as
should otherwise include in an
annual report
would suggest, however, that
the committee on buildings and
property make a thorough inspec-
ton of the several school proper
ties as soon as convenient, so that
such repairs and improvements as
seem advisable, may be completed
before the full opening. The mat
ter of providing more frequent
cleanings and sweepings of school
rooms should receive the special
attention of the Board.
In closing I wish to thank the
members of the Board, both in
dividually and collectively, for any
courtesy or kindness shown me
during my incumbency of the prin-
cipalship Of the Newark Schools.
These seven years of work in New
ark have, in the main, been years
of real pleasure, and | turn over
the task to another with only the
very best wishes for the future
success and progress of the New
ark Schools.

Principals Report
Gentlemen of the Board Of
Education:
l have the honor to submit the
following report of the public
schools of Newark for the school
year ending June 1917:
Our school opened September Is
and closed June 8, the actual num-
Der of days taught being 179,
which is IL days less than the pre-
ceeding year. This shortage is due
to the fact that opening was de-
layed 2 weeks on account of the
1nfantile Paralysis epidemic in
nearby towns.
We had an enrolment in the
High School of 1O5 and in the
grades of 450, making a total of
555, an increase of 5 over last
year. The Percentage of Attend
ance for the entire year is sub
stantially the same as last year;
this year it is 1892, whereas it was
1886 year ago.
In the matter of promotions our
records show considerable improve
ment. The total number of pro-
motions including % graduates, is
Ais as against 1856 year ago. This
would seem to indicate that our
pupils can easily do the years
work in less than 10 months, since
these schools were open 2 weeks
longer year ago than the year
just ended.
The number of nonresident
pupils attending under the pro-
visions of the Graded School Law
were AZ. These pupils attended a
total of 1924 days, which at 20
cents per day, a revune of 81,
324.S0, or S31.54 per pupil. Last
year the revenue from the same
source was several hundred dol

British Claim Gain Denied By Berlin on St. Quentin Cambria Road-Germans Claim Gain in Champagne Region.

New York, March 28.-Further gains by the British over the Germans west of St. Quentin, and by the Ger mans over the French in the Cham pagne region of France are recorded in the latest British and French official communications.
 British cavalry have captured the villages of Villers- Faucon and Saul court, lying a few miles north of Roisel, and are virtually astride the St. Quentin Cambrai road, says the British War office, which adds that additional terrain has been taken south and west of Croisilles, despite strong resistance. The German war office, however, takes issue with the latter statement, and says the fighting near Croissiles was in their favor.
 The activity on the line held by the French west and south of St. Quentin is mainly by the artillery wings of the opposing forces. To the south of St. Quentin, between Essigny and Benay, fierce artillery duel is in progress.
 In Champagne the Germans after violent bombardment attacked the positions held by General Nivelle's troops west of Maisons de Champagne, and succeeded in penetrating elements of the French first line trenches. San guinary losses were inflicted on the Germans, however, during unsuccess- ful efforts they made to capture the village of Maisons de Champagne, says the Paris war office
 An early spring thaw on the Rus sian front from the Baltic sea to the Carpathian mountains has rendered impossible for the present any attack in force by the Germans against the Russians. This seemingly ends for the time being the reported intentions of the Germans to attempt to force their way from the Riga region toward Petrograd.
 In Rumania fighting continues in the Uzul valley region. Here the Ger mans captured from the Russians a strongly entrenched ridge and held it, despite numerous counter attacks, ac- cording to Berlin. One hundred pris- oners and machine guns and mine throwers fell into their hands.
 Bombardments are in progress along the entire Austro-Italian front, being especially violent between the Frigido valley and the northern edge of the Carso plateau.
 An attack by the Teutonic allies west of Monastir was put down by the French barrage fire.

FEW DEVELOPMENTS
 ON WESTERN FRONT
Government Expects No New
 Development Before Congress
 COnvenes-Sen. Husting Says Germany is Making War.

Washington, March 28.-The Amer ican government has no knowledge of any development likely to happen be- fore Congress convenes which would change the situation between the United States and Germany.
 If Germany plans any sort of peace move or has considered abandoning submarine ruthlessness or if any other nation plans a step to alter the pres ent international status, the govern ment does not know it.
 Except for information concerning German plots against American inter- ests, the public in a general way knows as much as the government about everything directly affecting the crisis. Concerning German intrigues in this and other countries, the gov ernment has much information which it has not considered wise to make public
 President Wilson today continued conferences with his advisers prepara- tory to writing his address to Con- gress.
 Aggressive Measures Later. :.
 The administration is said to be chiefly concerned with the form of action to be taken by Congress recog- nizing that Germany is making war on the United States and with pre- paredness measures. Aggressive steps which are being considered are consid- cred questions to be determined after Congress has defined the status of the nation.
 Whether a huge loan or gift of money to one or more of the entente allies should be adopted, whether an army should be sent abroad and whe- ther increased supplies of munitions should be forwarded, are regarded as questions which would only confuse the issue if pressed now.
 The president has told no one just what his message will include. The preponderance of opinion still is that Congress will adopt resolution de- claring that state of war exists.
 The president conferred today with Col. E. M. House and Senator Husting of Wisconsin. Secretaries Lansing, Daniels and Baker met to discuss ac- tivities of their departments and at the Department of Labor there was a conference to plan for the mobilization of labor Secretary Daniels, Attorney General Gregory and Secretary Me Adoo paid brief visits to the White House.
