ALL TOGETHER THH Mayor-elect may congratulate him e4lf that his announcements of purposo , m taken at par value. There Is no disposi tion omens tho Independents to throw ob 4$volea In his way. Tho progress of Phlla- rphla Is as of vital concorn to them as It to tho Organization, to put It mildly, and they will havo no healtnnay in lending tho Administration their vigorous support In nil rood causes. Indopondont Councllmen havo perfected an organization of their own and adopted a resolution to tho effect that We), mambcrs-elcct of Common Council, eleoted by Independent voters, hereby plcdga our united support to the new Administra tion In all of Its efforts to forward the best Interests of tho city and the carrying on to a successful conclusion of tho present and projected Improvements. Tho most Important of "present nnd pro jected Improvements" Is rapid transit. Tho resolution Is, therefore, a call for the com pletion of the Taylor plan. Tho Independents, wo tnko it, will bo no more loyal In their support of good causes than they will In their antagonism to had ones. The now Administration, therefore, has merely to follow u straight road to be aqsurpcl of virtually unanimous support In moat of its undertakings. DUS1NESS BEGINS TO PREPARE THEItE Is one chance In twenty, possibly In ten, that the coal miners will strike when their agreement expires on April 1. The largo coal users cannot afford to havo their factories closed for lack of coal, and they havo begun to buy and store a supply Which they hope will ho big enough to Inst them over tho crisis In the spring. They nro acting In nccordance with the dictates of common prudence. Preparedness is the very essence of com mercial success. No nrgument Is needed to prpyc this, because it la self-evident. Yet. nlthough America cannot defend Itself against attack or protect Its citizens nbrond unless It is prepared, men and women are going up nnd down the land doing their best to make it impossible for the Administra tion to begin preparations to nvert n disas ter which Is little less unlikely than the coal trlke In tho spring. ' BUY A BOND WHILE the Allies are lloating loans nnd promising a generous rate of Interest Philadelphia outers the market with a re quest for J3.3CO.000. It will pay 4 per cent. Interest on the bonds, which nre tax exempt In this State, and Undo Sam can collect no tax on tho income. This makes an attrac tive Investment for tho man with much money or little. As tho bonds are to be is Bued In denominations as low as $100, savings bank depositors are rich enough to buy ono or more of them. Jinny savings banks pay only (J per cent. If tho bonds sell at 103, as Js anticipated, they will yield 3.88 per cent. UNIVERSITY DEMOCRATIZATION TV KEQUIUES a Scott Xearing case ocea X. slonally to clear the atmosphere. The criticism which followed that episode was undoubtedly the controlling reason for the amendment of the University statutes, the most significant provision of this amend ment being as follows: A professor or an assistant professor shall bo removed by the board of trustees only after n conference between n committee, consisting of one representative from eacli of the faculties In tho University fsuch rep resentative Ve'ng chesen by the faculty of which tho representative Is a member) and b committee or equal number from tho bounl of trustees, at which conference tho provoxt bhall pretlde. and upon a report from such ron'eience to the board o' trustees for con sideration and action by them. Under this system of procedure the failure to reappoint Mr". Xoarlng would havo caused little more than a ripple, for the removal would In that case have had tho approval of tho sevoral faculties. It U apparent that the democratization of the University has begun and academic free dom becomes more than a dream. NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL THE anticipated hardships to follow the enforcement of tho chHd labor Jaw may not to ho hard afwr all. Twelve hundred chl-drcn, have been discharged from the tex tile mill In this vicinity; but the chief of the. Bureau of Compulsory Education, who issues; employment certificates, reports that other employers are vainly seeking to hire children between the agea of 14 .and 18. Ir. Gideon Is convinced that the children thrown out by the textpe mills have found work in elher Industries where the conditions are piore favorable, eyen If the employers are o more anxious to protect the young workers Tbe boys and .girls in the department tores are not to suffer when jthe new law See Into effect, toe arrangements are mak-u-i- to conduct coHtUualjan schVola within km store ihtmurtygak mf that thent-ckeary Instruction for tight hours n tcck may be Imparted without lnterforonc6 with the rou tine of the business. The law specifically provides for the establishment of such Schools within the establishments where children are employed. There Is a disposition on the part of the authorities to make It easy for employers to adjust themselves to tho new conditions. Children may remain at work after January 1 tho samo as at present, white the con tinuation schools, both within and without tho business houses, are bclnij orsnnlzcd, This will give all time enough to prepare for the change, If they aro so disposed, with out depriving any widowed mother of the earnings of her children. THE LATEST NOTE BEFOItE this era of notes enmo Into voguo n communication of the character of that dispatched to Vienna December 19 would hnvo set tho stock markets of tho world trembling nnd excitement through out both nations Involved would havo been Intense. But tho edgo has been dulled by a series of notes, each strong enough tcxtu nlly, but tho forcrunnor of nothing moro than moro notes. It Is not peculiar, there fore, that Austria views the situation calmly nnd takes It for granted that nothing serious will hnppen. It must bo put down to the credit of tho Administration that German naval warfare ha becomo more humane, nlthough there were other factors besides our protests which led to this condition. Nevertheless, It Is apparent that our extreme lovo of palaver has effeminated our diplomacy. What ought according to all precedents to bo a final word Is not a flnnl word. There Is- nlvvays nomc thlng additional to be snld, somo now point to bo discussed, somo red herring drawn across tho trait. Wo cannot expect to escape uninjured during nn upheaval which shakes half tho world, but we can and must Insist on rec ognition of those high principles which havo boon established by tho customs of centuries and havo become part nnd parcel of civil ization. Wo nre asking nothing novel, noth ing moro than reasonable treatment. If Austria Is not prepared to glvo that, It were better far that our olllclal relations be severed with her Immediately than that we continue nn Intercourse repugnant nnd ab horrent to all who know nnd understand what Americanism menns. A SIDE ISSUE THE Turco-Qermnnlc drive on Egypt Is merely a side Issue. It will divert troops from Europe, but It Is not likely to call oft enough of them seriously to affect tho situ ation on tho frontier In France. Even If Oormany should take Egypt, she cannot get the use of the sens without defeating the HrltHh licet, nnd she will bo no nearer vic tory than sho Is now. The Germans are evidently applying the old rule of strategy which requires a com mnnder who cannot brenk through an op posing lino to maneuver so as to compel a weakening of tho opposing line by lengthen ing It. In this case the Germans nro weak ening themselves Just as much an they are Increasing the difficulties of their enemies. EXHAUSTION DOES NOT EXHAUST r T IS a mistake to assume that a lone nnd pxhnustlng war really exhausts n nation. The American statesmen who arc arguing against preparedness for the reason that after pence is made in Europe no nation will be In shapo to prnccuto nnothcr wnr aro Ignoring tho teachings of tho history of their own country. When our own Civil War was ended we had somo great generals and a largo body of vetcinn r.oldlers. T to attempt to set up a monarchy In Mexico with r.n Austrian prlnco as einpornr hnd been in:rd" whl'o wo were busy with our own trouh'er Tho peace of Appomattox left r lice to demand that Mn::Itnl!i:in h" v.thdruwn from Mexico, along v.ilh the I'rrti h foMieis who were trying1 to not him c n a throne. Our ability to back that demand by nn army under tho command nf Clcncai (Jraitt compelled Trance to abandon her ndveiituie. I.ikowlse. the samo state of military pre paiedncK.s was Influential in London when wo demanded reputation for tho damnge wrought to our commerce by the Alabama. We spoke as a strong man nrmed In both cases nnd we scoured reparation from Eng land and wo compelled Europe to respect tho Monroe Doctrine when It was asserted for the protection of Mexico. Wo wero not so completely exhausted by four years of fight ing that other nations thought wo were un able to enforce our demands. Does any ono think that If Germany Is vic torious sho will bo In no condition, if sho is In the mood, to nttempt to make larger that place In the sun which succesa on the Conti nent will Insure to her? The : -uth is that a German triumph will place tho Monroe Doc trine in greater peril than at any other time since it was first formulated. HOW OFFICE BOYS GET ON GOOD offlce boys aro about as rare as great statesmen. A New York lawyer found one, and the boy Is now going through Columbia University at his employer's ex pense. The lawyer was partial to a certain make of steel pen and liked to have a fresh one In his penholder every morning. The hoy learned of this and made it a point to keep the desk supplied. "I sent the kid to college," the lawyer said tho other day, "because he was tho only living human being who knew or cared what made work easiest for me." No office boys will read this they read only the 3portlng pages therefore, they can not take the lesson to heart, and employers must worry along as usual until they, per chance, find a Jewel who can discover for himself the way to deserve promotion. General Frost Is giving Mr. Ford cold feet. It takes more than a cable dispatch to kill Bernhardt the Magnificent. She may yet live to play under the French flag in the Lost Provinces, i If the British attacks In the field had half the violence and brilllanoy of tho attacks In Parliament the war need not last more than another year. King Peter of Serbia ought to know that there aro few more futile occupations than talking about what might have happened If something else had happened. Ho .ever fierce may be tae light that beau upon a honeymoon, the moving picture peo ple are discovering that it Is not bright enough, for taking photograph. Tom Daly's Column Young Nick 'Twos n night beforo Christmas, and all through the houso Not n creaturo was stirring, not even a mouse. And mnmma'ln her Ijerchlef and I In my cap Had Just settled our brains for a long winter nnp, When out on the street there nrose such a clatter I sprang from my bed to seo what was the matter.

Thus I heard him exclnlm, nnd I knew ho was right, So I called to the lnd ere he drove out of Right, "Merry Christmas, my boy, nnd a speedy good-night."

SINBRRG, who knows real estate and who recently delivered quite a talk upon striking appreciations In Phila delphia property values, happened to run Into Wllllnm L. Hirst ono day whllo he was working up the data for his speech. Now, Bill Hirst is qulto nn authority upon suburban real estate values, but this was tho best he hnd to offer to SInberg: "Tho most remarkable thing I've heard lately was this about a fellow living out be yond Morton. He engaged n servant girl and actually got her to stay." "What's that got to do with real estate?" demanded SInberg. "Everything," Bald Bill. "She's got to stay because he .succeeded in selling his prop erty to her for only a few hundred less than he paid for It." . Sir From a nearby apiary In Delaware county there comes to my breakfast table n brand of boney bearing tho following legend in , prominent red characters: "Golden Coreopsis Blossom Honey Good for Coughs, Colds ami ; Hot Cakes." If you decide to print this free ad you may be assured that nobody will be i stung. I have taken several bottles of the ' aforesaid honey and find It a sovereign remedy , for nil three complaints, of which, by the way, I much prefer hot cakes myself.

"Who is It?" asked the other. "Why, that's John Little. He's Just learning to run the thing," "Ah! yes, I see. 'A Little, learning, is a dangerous thing.'" Comforting for John A certain Indulgent husband, so the gos sips fn Fox Chatra are saying, was taken quite ill a week or so ago, and he said to his wife: "My dear, I ordered a sealskin coat for you for Christmas, but now, in view of my ill ness.

Adventures in India Pro motion Came Because lie Deserved It IN TH1 ltnry THE general reorganization of the mll- manngerial department of tho Brit ish fighting forces several Interesting changes of personnel havo been made. Lieu tenant General Sir William H. Robertson, for instance, bns been withdrawn from the French front, nnd as chief of tho Imperial Stnft now makes his headquarters In Lon don. The career of General Robertson Is one of tho most Inter esting of tho life stories of tho lenders of the great war. Ho rose from tho ranks, and nfter his &' "-&&- cikn. itonnitT.soN nnmo aro now written the letters "K. C. V. O., K. C. H D. S. O." A powerfully built country boy, ho wont to London at tho ngo of 19 nnd enlisted In tho 9th Lancers. Promotion from tho ranks is not frequent. Tho great majority of of ficers como from the military school at Sand hurst. But tho door is kept open for a pri vate of good education and character. By passing n stiff examination ho mny obtain a commission. Voting Robertson had had only an elementary education; but ho set out to make up for tho deficiency by study. He invested his shilling a dny, which is tho pay of a British private, In books. As a British regulur trooper has none too much tlmo to himself, ho used to get comrades to read to him from Bacon nnd the English classics while he was grooming his horso or cleaning his equipment. Ills first few yenrs as a soldier of Britain revealed almost none of tho powers and traits which distinguished him later In life. Ho was n brave, hard-working trooper, a hit moro In telligent than his mntes, but otherwise of tho average. Ho studied tactics nnd ulti mately bee lie a non-commissioned officer. He was ten years in tho ranks before his commission ns second lieutenant was won. Ho was old for his rank, and It wns qulto natural to presume that the highest rank he ever would obtain would bo major or pos sibly colonel. Ho was gazetted to the Third Dragoon Guards. Ho Joined his regiment in India, and one of his first experiences as a cavalry ofllcer was the plcturesquo cavalry concentration at Muridki Camp, near La hore, In January, 1889. Ho had been twenty, nlno years reaching a grade which most men held at the ago of 22. Studies Indian Dialects Robertson soon became known as a lin guist of ability. He mastered the many dialects of India as few Europeans have. He made himself so valuable to his com manders that promotion soon came his way. He took no part In what Is known as the first Mironzal expedition, which penetrated into India's mountainous districts In 1891, He subsequently took part in the relief of Chltral and was badly wounded. He was railway and transport ofllcer In those cam paigns. It was during the Chltral expedition that Sir William Robertson had his narrowest escape from death. Ills zeal led him to ride forward without his Gurkha guard, and his sword, being in tho wny, he handed It oyer to a Pathan guide who was' riding with him, going himself a little ahead of the man. The next thing that he knew was that two shots were fired at him, one of them pass ing under his arm and neatly clipping off his horse's ear. Turning round he saw that the Pathan who was guiding him had fired the shots, and the next moment the traitor charged him and hit him over the head with his own sword. Robertson grappled with his opponent, but noticing two other Indian tribesmen, who seemed to appear from nowhere, rushing forward to attack him, he was obliged to let his man go and beat a retreat to his Gurkha guard, which was some three or four hundred yards In the rear. A medal and clasp, the distinguished Ser vice Order, and mention In dispatches were Robertson's reward for his work in the Chltral expedition, and when the South African War broke out It was acknowledged that be was the one man for the Job of at tending to the transport of food and troops.

When In 1910 ho wns placed In com mand of tho Army Staff Collego oven those viho agreed that ho had shown himself to be tho man for tho place woro amazed at the thought of n man who had been for ten years a prlvato without any groundwork of regular ncndemlc education becoming the J director of nn institution which gnthcrs tho I nblcst olllccrs of tho army for Instruction In the higher branches of war und gives tho character to army organization In tlmo of war. Meantime, ho had kept on with his lnngunges. Ho now knew French nnd Ger man, and he had studied tho continental army systems. Sent to France As Director of Military Training at tho War Olllco ho later had much to do with tho preparation of tho British expeditionary force. Ho went to Franco with it as Quar termaster General, responsiblo for keeping thnt army overseas supplied. His success In this capacity led to his nppolntmcnt as Chief of Staff. All the branches of tho army's activities enmo under IiIb direction. It wns his business to co-ordlnnto all nnd to ntnnlgamnto tho forces of overy -new nrmy which arrived at tho front with tho old In a homogeneous organization up to tho standard required by present conditions of warfare. His duties in London nro some what similar, but of uroador scope. Despite his ltfo of unremitting application, ho hns fow gray hairs nt G2; and ho gives the im pression of tho physical vigor and enduranco which enables him to kcop up tho pace of 1G hours' hard work a day. His Is tho case of a man prepared. His lino of business, ever since ho looked after tho railway transport during the Miranzai and Black Mountain expeditions 23 years ago, has had to do with tho caro of soldier men. Undoubtedly ono of tho secrets of Sir William's success, particularly In regard to organization and transport, Is due to tho fact that ho knows exactly what "Tommy" wants; for ho hns been a "Tommy" himself. His career, indeed, is a veritable romance of tho army, and an exemplification of hard work. "Every ono has to admlro him," as another general -has snld. "He has won his way without influence ngninst odds by sheer hard work, making the most of his natural gifts." A PRECEDENT Tbat enEr.tdncr nnir.in nml rMnunH . --. D... ,.,.. H.,v. ,,ua,v, uk narra tive, Benvenuto Cellini, who Journeyed to France In the 16th century and got Involved In a lawsuit there, makes some observations on tho pretty art of litigation as he found it there practiced that havo qulto a modern ring. "As soon as they find there Is something to be got out of a suit they sell it." he records, "for men have been known to Bive suits ns dowries with their daughters to such as make their living out of these contracts. Another wicked custom Is their skillful concoction of false evidence. So it happens that those who buy the suits at once Instruct five or six per jurers, according to the need; and thus a man who does not know tha custom, and has no hint given him to provide Just as many to swear against them, has no chanco of winning the case," Brokerage in lawsuits has an odd, medieval sound at first, but a little reflection will show that It la merely the name of the Industry and not the Industry Itself that has changed since the Florentine had occasion to comment on It.
