BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, March %, by The Asso-
ciated Press.-The fighting IS eontinu-
ing, but the first stage of the offensive
has passed. The enemy has failed bad
ly in the execution of his program as is
attested by captured documents showing
what he planned to do in the early
hours of his offensive.
Vigorous counter attacks late yester-
day restored some of the positions which
the British had abandoned temporarily.
The exact British lines cannot be made
public at present. The only reason is
that it might furnish the enemy with de-
sirable information.
Last night was fairly quiet along the
front. This morning the Germans were
bombing in the region of Croiselles.
There were indications that they intend
ed to continue their attacks today.
The weather is cold and bleak. A
heavy mist makes any reconnaissance
impossible. This is of advantage tc
the British, as the enemy is deprived OF
greatly needed aerial observations. The
enemy attacked in three waves Of in
fantry, followed up by shock troops
AS result they suffered very heavy
casualties.
The heavily massed German artiller!
has been badly hammered by the British
guns. One of the most brilliant British
counter attacks occurred at Doignies
The British advanced with infantry an,
tanks and after fierce fighting drov
out the enemy.

due in a great measure to its intrinsic

Miss Adams a role in which the many

in the actresses keeping is that of
Miss Thing" the heroine of the mod

Glass Slipper At first she is seen
in her little penny" shop telling the
four war orphans she is caring for as
her wartime "bit" that she is Cinder-
ella. Then she falls aseep outside her
shop to dream of ball and the dream
hell of her imagination is shown in
all its details. Last scene of all is
in a hospital where Cinderella is
awaiting her rea prince, a big police

Against Lightless Nights

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Appreciative Of the great harm tha.
the six lightless nights would be to the busi-
ness interests of Broadway, called yesterday
aa one of the committee Fuel Administra-
tor A. II. Wiggin. I am pleased to report
that Mr.. Wiggin assured me he was not In
great sympathy with the six lightless nights,
and that with a let-up of our present strenu-
GUS conditions he would be glad to modify
that order.
From Mr.. Wiggins conversation 1t ap-
peared ne considered that the psychological
effect OF the lichtless nights would be a big
impression for economy on the minds of pco-
Pie. l told him it was a pretty expensive
economy as lar as the interests of the prop
erty holders and business men of Broadway
were concerned; that the Broadway Associa-
ton did not desire to oppose the Administra-
ton; we wanted to work with them, at the
same time we wished to protect our inter-
csts, and 1T seemed to me as if the saving of
thirty tons Of coal night (Which, according
to the statement Of Mr. Lieb, of the electric
lighting companies, Is the total consumption
by kllowatt poWer) was altogether too little
q saving for the great business disaster, plus
the possible danger of the ightless nights.
O. j. GUIDE, of the outdoor advertising
committee, accompanied me on the visit. and
ne stated to Mr.. Wiggin that he had in mind
a campaign of education showing the people
that q shovelful of coal (weighing five
pounds) saved in each household would give
enough power to do all the outdoor lighting
for ninety nights, and that lump of coal
weighing pound would do the same thing
for eighteen nights.
Now, the public doesn't know this, and it
seems they should be made aware of it, for
once they comprehend the ininitesimal econ
omy, with the great discomfort, danger and
damage, they will welcome back the lighted
nights the moment these present strenuous
conditions are ended E. w. ESTES.

Exit the Gary System

At it's first meeting the new Board of
Education, obeying what Mayor Hylan
declared was mandate" given by the
sh the Gary system, so-called, of duplicate
schools--the work-study-play plan, as it
has been more accurately termed. 1t de-
cided to stop work, wherever possible, on
the transforming of old school buildings
into condition for use under the duplicate
plan; it transferred from the superin-
tendency Of the duplicate schools which
now exist man in sympathy with the
plan, replacing him with man not in &C
cord with it's development
This may be politics, or it may be
wise move for the furtherance of the
city's educational system--time will tell.
The facts are now exactly what they have
been. In order to accommodate the num-
Der Of pupils who demand school accom-
modations either schoolhouses must be
used on the duplicate, or intensive, plan,
or great number of new schoolhouses
must be built if each pupil is to have
seat, according to the old plan which
Mayor Hylan, as candidate, said he be-
lieved in. Mr. Somers, president of the
new board, says funds are in hand to
build ten new schoolhouses But ordi-
narily it takes a year or two to erect
schoolhouse; how long it would take under
war conditions, with the existing demand
for men and materials, nobody can pre-
tend to say accurately BY the time the
ten were completed the accommodations
they would furnish would not make
dent on the demand for seats, if the city's
previous history goes for anything.
The Gary plan" has been thrown out
Officially. But that does not abolish
part time. Only the building of school
houses in far greater numbers than the
money in sight will warrant and the in
dustrial conditions will make possible
can do that-unless the Gary duplicate
plan, under some other name, is continued
iq the school system. 1t is a pretty

Decorations for Commuters

When the war is over and done and
consolation prizes are in order for those
who stayed behind, who only stood and
waited, there is very little doubt who
ought to win the highest award The
commuters of New York should be deco
rated in body. Probably the young man
from Glen Rock, N. j., who spent ten
hours out of twenty~four in going to work
and getting home again in one day ought
to receive the Commuters D. S. O. But
the race between individuals will hardly
be important. All commuters have done
their bit, and there is no occasion for
dwellers on the Erie to grow chesry.
There is glory enough for all.
That is what should happen. What will
happen is quite another story. 1t will be
what always happens to the commuters,
as matter of fact always has happened
and always will happen, we fear, while
Broadway is Broadway and New Rochelle
is New Rochelle. Nobody has or will have
shred Of sympathy for the commuter,
to say nothing of admiration or apprecia-
tion Of his heroic toll we'll performed.
For anybody else who happened to be ma
rooned, held dinnerless and delivered
frostbitten there would be resolutions of
coincidence, committees of relief and pro-
posed enactments for the prevention, etc
Medals would follow as matter of
course. But never for the man from Glen
Rock! He's only an Erie commuter, say
his friends, chuckling. What did the poor
fish expect!
Take the present announcement as a
sample. AS great boon the commuter
is informed that his train service is not,
after all, to be cut--much. We should
like to hear Mr.. Hedley informing The
Bronx that its subway service would not
be cut--much! Nobody dreams of touch
ing the city traffic situation, as matter
of fact. The poor commuter has to fight
for the little that he has.
That little is certainly not much at the
present writing. No commuter pays any
attention to his time table any more. The
sacred, cabalistic signs Of 500 and 5:23
have become numbers to jeer at. You go
to station and wait. After while you
board train and wait some more You
are thankful if you do not have to stand
all the way home. If you arrive the same
day you kiss the baby twice and your wife
makes quite fuss over you.
There is the one consolation of the pres
ent debacle. Whatever Mr.. Smith may de-
eide to do, it can't be worse Everything
in the world has priority to-day over
the commuter. Any change must pro-
mote him.

Real War Efficiency on Railroads

10 the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Now that the railways of this country
have passed into the hands of tho govern
rient, might suggest that it would be a great
advantage to this country if some of the regu-
latlons now In operation in Great Britain
were adopted here.
FIRST of all, fares should be increased so
rer cent so as to reduce unnecessary travel
ling to the minimum. This has been done in
England with good effect, and has resulted in
large amount of rolling stock being re-
leased for government service Restaurant
cars, smokers, etc, should be cut out. the
speed of the trains reduced and q delav made
for fifteen to thirty minutes at convenient
points on long journeys where meals could be
secured by those who desire them. Sleepers
should only be used in connection with long
Journeys and then merely hauled as part Of the
train between p. m. and a. m. Night trains
between points like New York and Boston.
New York and Washington. ETC., are unnec
essary. For The convenience of those who
travel ordinarily at night between such
points, trains could leave here at, saw. 7 y. m.
arriving in Washington, Boston and such
pos".s q. a. N. 6. A.

"A Coward, Not a Hero"
Z Editor Of The Tribune

20 inc Edltor or The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the communication from
John Barr in your paper of recent date, en-
titled "a Coward, Not q Hero" and in which
he refers to the German Emperor and COM
pares him to Shakespeare's "Richard III" I
say that the comparison is we'll made and the
two characters are wonderfully alike in many
respects.
Richard seemed to delight in cruelty and
"lckedness for no other purpose than his own
advancement, and the deceit practiscd upon
his own people seemed to give him more
pleasure than anything else. Throughout this
entire play Richard seems to revel in crime
and to enjoy the misery, pain and sorrow that
ne brings to every one connected with him.
From the beginning to the end there is ap-
parently no time in which he truly and sim
cerely repents.
The character Of Richmond, however who
finally overcame Richard and afterward be-
came Henry VII, is entirely different, and
one of the best illustrations of his character
Is shown in the short prayer which he offers
UP the night before the battle of Bosworth
Field, in which he overcame Richard. He
was about to retire for the night, and had
hidden his officers and attendants good night,
when he paused at the door of his tent be-
fore drawing the curtain, and the prayer he
offered was not only typical of the man i
character and goodness, but could be said to-
Cay with equal force by our commander in
chief:
ooh! Thou whose captain account myself,
Look on my forces with gracious eye:
Put in their hands thy bruising irons of wrath,
That they may crush down with a heavy fall
The usurping helmets of our adversaries!
Make us thy ministers Of chastisement,
That we may praise thee in the victory.
lo thee do commend my watchful soul.
Ere | let fall the windows of mine ewes.
Sleeping and waking, o, defend me still!'

New-York tribune., 1918-01-05

after year has produced the same daw-
attention to duties, the same time-wast-
ing, moncy-squandering dilatoriness with
which all observers Of legislative proceed
ings are familiar.
Every reason exists this year for a
break from this timc-dishonored practice,
if it is ever to be broken away from.
The prolongation Of legislative sessions
means tremendous expense to the state;
the overhead charges of the Legislature,
in the way of clerk hire, supplies, tele-
phone and telegraph fees and the like,
are large. Printing expenditures in
crease with the length of the session.
The dragging out of consideration of bills
involves extra expense on those who at
tend the hearings. Wartime economy
calls for the cutting down of all these
expenses, both for the taxpayers and In
dividual citizens, to the minimum.
Early introduction of bills and the
presentation of few bills would reduce
expenses and make possible prompt ac-
ion on those before the two houses.
This demands careful attention to duty
by the legislators and the exercise of a
certain restraint in the individuals selec-
ton of subjects for proposed legislative
action, notably lacking in past years
Surely such willingness to work early and
hard and to resist the desire to introduce
bills having scant chance of passage, or
small need, are not too much to expect of
the lawmakers in this year. of all years.

turned to New York, but have found their
places filled and job hard to land.
