Estimates of the cost of the bridge, submitted yesterday to the City Coun cil, show that the cost now will be nl ihost three times what it would have been had work started eight years ago. Talk, if we are to judge by the cur rent estimates, 1ms cost the city about a million dollars a jcar. Who said that talk is cheap? I - ' IN DELAWARE 'ADVOCATES of equal suffrage who jf. ore wise and far-sighted will prefer to abandon their fight in Delaware jathcr than achieve the victory of a ratification vote by political manipula tion or extraordinary pressure exerted by party leaders to overcome opposition in the House. It will be a matter of regret to the sincerest supporters of the rotes cause if the final deeiion in Del aware or in any other stau is not ar rived at openly and freel . The votes amendment is too impor tcnt and its moral signiticanec is too great to permit the acceptance of a doubtful victory. Suffragists can afford to wait until they nre enfranchised by legislative action prompted by enlight enment nnd free will. It will be re gretted if women nre denied tin- right to vote in the next national election. Cer tainly they arc deerving of that right. But they have fought so well ond so sincerely thus far that a temporary set back would be. on the whole, more de sirable than victory by a lluke. Some of the laws passed hurriedly under pressure during tho lust few years nre sure to be questioned in quieter times. They reflect a mood of hysteria that is rapid:,, passing. The women of the country might have causp to regret any maneuver which would jriTC to the votes amendment the faKe aspect of emergency legislation BREAKERS AHEAD TnERE Is in tho West nnd the Mid dle West a vnst and growing vote that tends this enr to be independent of party lines and unaffected by organi zation influence.

It will surprise no one if they make ruius of some of tlie plans now being formu lated iii eastern caucus rooms. WE QUIT COLD AT THE SEVENTEENTH HOLE Now France Sendo Troops Across the Rhine to Do What a Vital League of Nations Would Have Made Unnecessary TTUIANCK has undertaken tho protee- tion ,of her eastern frontier Inde pendently of the other pflwers which signed the treaty with Germany. French troops occupied rrankfort-on-.Alain and Darmstadt yesterday morning and It was reported that other Ger man cities in the neutral zone on the eat. or right, bank of the Khlne would be occupied In the near future. Justification for this action is found in the thhd .pi'tlon of the treaty, under which Germany is forbidden to main tain or n.emble nr.ned forces in the neutral stone fifty kilometers wide. Vio lation of this provision Is defined by the treaty as "a hostile net against the powers signatory of the present treaty fnnd as calculated to upset the peace of ,i. .. .,,i.t wmiim. iriM.i.s mill nfra smi mm inr 1 iliiur naMU nominally to put down n reiolutionary uprising. Hut cidence has been produced tending to prove tlint the revolutionary uprising was manu factured in order to provide nn excuse for bending tho troops into the district from which coal and iron wcro being shipped to France, in accordance with the reparation terms of the treaty. But the amount of coal antJ Iron promised was not being shipped. Neither had Germany disarmed herself to the extent demanded by the trenty. She wns making a deliberate attempt to avoid the fulfillment of its terms in every way possible. Now the question naturally arises why France should act alone. The answer is writ so large that even a fool can rend it in the record of con temporary events. When the peace conference met the French demnuded that their frontiers should be extended to the Rhine with I the right to hold nil the bridgeheads. The militiirv imrtv insisted Unit there could be no guarantees of peace under any other conditions. Hut the League of Nations was pro posed nnd It was maintained that this ! concert of the great and small pow ers 1 would be strong enough to protect the territorial integrity of all its members. 1 The French then demanded that nn armed force be created to act under the orders of the league whenever pence was threatened. This was voted down, but not until France had secured from the American nnd British representatives the promise that the United States aud England would go to the relief of France in the event of u threat of war by Germnny. It is nearly n year since these prom ises were made by, England and Amer iea and since tho, peace tienty with Its League of .Nations covenant wns com- pitted. Aud the'proml-es huve not been , fulfilled. The trcatv. it is true, has been rati- , tied by France. I-ngland. Italy. Japan nm! i.ermnnv. mid fne nincnincr or n ' V- 1 1 1 I.engue of Nations has been nrrnnged. Hut the league is not functioning aud neither America nor Knglnnd has made j good its promise to ugrc to go to tiic . relief of France against (Senimny. The Franco-American trentj has not even been submitted to the Senntc by President Wilson, a treaty which was Intended to servo until the League of Nations was in full working order. And tho peace trenty with its oe nant for 11 woild peace federation has been twice rejected by the American Senate because the President bus per sistently refused to consent to such in terpretations and reservations us the senators desired to mnke. The Anglo-French treaty is suspended in the air because its execution wns contingent upon the rntilicntlou of the Frunco-Amcrican treuty, 'nnd France finds herself isolated and dependent on her own resources to protect her own interests. As- n rsult the military party, backed I by tlie army strategists, have set cut on n realization of the program which was turned down ny the peace confer- i nnnn Tf thnr nnn ilr, ns tliev ulsh. Lord Fisher gave to King Udward In lOO6, when (Jermnny wus protesting against the fortlflcntion of the Aland islands in the Italtic. The great ad miral told his king that England should back Itussiu. for in the event of a war with Cie-many tho support of Ilusain would be needed, nnd ho insisted that if Cerman did not consent to the Itus uin r,lns for the islands the Tlrlrlsn be destroyed before it became a mennce to the peace of the world. Otherwise, said Fisher, it would bo more difficult wnr planned for years and started when the ngresbor was ready, arc in no mood to wait for the same enemy to get ready again. The collapse of the splendid idealistic Btructure of a world penco federation functioning through the council of the League of Nations has opened the way to moro wars and to bitter reprisals that ate likely to curso the world for the next gcncratlnu unless idealism can once more bo set upon its pedestal and bo muilo to command the respect of! pvactlml men, The fjreat world disaster foreshadow cil by the movement of French troops a crow the Rhine cannot ho contemplated by thoughtful Americans without conscious ness of some contribution toward tho Mane lis AjmttkBA Government Jm not done its part in peace as well as it did iu war. Wc, through our President, proposed the League of Nations. We assured France, through our nccrcdllcd repre sentative, that wo would go to her as sistance if she were threatened and, acting with England, would see that she was protected until the league was iu working order. Hut when the Senate was asked to ratify the agreements made by the President it devoted eight months to quibbling debate on one of the propositions mid finally rejected it. Wc carried our share of tho burden of the war after wc entered it. Wc contributed largely to the victory, how largely the historian of 10,"0 will de cide with impartiality, but when the victory In the Held was won we stopped. Wc refused to assume any obligation for cleaning up the mess in Kuropc which we had shared In bringing about. Wc have turned our backs on the stricken nations and have said that wc are not interested in their troubles, nnd that they must get out of them ns best they mny. We did not play the game through, but unit cold nt tho seventeenth hole. And we seem to think that we can escape the consequence of such conduct. Hut wo cannot do it. We have no policy now. We do not know what our attitude toward France will be. Wc told her that she should not object to the entrance of German troops Into the Ituhr bnsln, although wc knew "that the treaty, forbids it.

It Is not surprising then that France, disappointed in her trust in tho Lcnguc of Nations, which can do nothing with out the membership of the United States, is doing the best to tnke care of herself iu the present crisis.

U3!lte THE GOWNSMAN A Replication AN AMUSING article of the New Republic, not long since, is entitled "An Academic Problem Solved at Iiist." In It the genial dean of Har ale College discourses on an admirable scheme of his own invention, there iu oguc, by means of which students arc eitarged tuition inversely ns to their grade in scholarship, the bright boy going through collcgo with practically no charge, the fines grading heavily for the stupid nnd careless, so that the rich father of n dullard may expend anything from $5000 to $20,000 n year merely to keep his son nt Ilarvalc. The system 1ms many advantages. It wipes out the nnuunl deficit nnd the number of the students need never be depleted by failure In scholarship. The work of the faculty is llghtcued by a liberal system ot fincR for cuts, producing nn addi tional handsome income for the college. Professors' salaries are assured and raised even unto the princely rccouij prnse of nn ability to keep a Ford car. Here Is a happy solution for "the gold const." A RECENT editorial in the Alumni Register of the 1'niver.slty of Penn sylvania puts forward several assertions as n platform, so to speak, on whieU little colleglnns mny stand. If the Gownsman abstracts it correctly, this platform is somewhnt as follows: Edu cation is growing alarmingly expensive under our present system. So heavy. In fact, that an nlumnus hesitates to send his son to college because 'he will thus Incur "nn obligation Hint will dog him for life." For this reason institu tions arc being driven to the stnte fon subsistence.

In n word, England trains for leader ship. American educntion is "mass ed ucation." It is of interest to know ns to this platform that it wns approved, If not inspired, by "nn educator" who, over his signature, has solemnly taken the pleasantry repotted In the para graph above as something which he would be willing to tr. A MERICAN education is expensive f-nnd its llnancinl burdens arc grow ing heavier, like all our other burdens with our vanishing dollar. As n busi ness proposition, education is emphnt ieall) not worth while: it costs much ihorc money than it tan possibly bring in. So does government even very bad government, so does charily and religion, for that matter; for none of thes.- things is welghable in the scales o money m-oiit ,,nd loss. The question is not. "Does education pay?" It is, "Can we posshl nfTord to go without it or so to modify its cost as to leave more of our children uneducated than now or educated less thoroughly?" As to the alumnus who hesitates 'to send his boy to college because it mnv cost him too much while he is there or nfter in the obligations of loyalty, he is one whom the idea nnd purposes of educa tion have failed to reach or even to touch. The son of .such nn uliimnus is be-t out of collcgo. Inheriting his father s ideas, he would onlv corrupt tho-c about him. INSTITUTIONS of Wining are not turning to (he states for maintenance because education has become too ex pensive, uut because it has become manifest that the maintenance of n high standard of ediicntlnn In !. nn and by the stnte Is the mainstnv of 'our demo-rntlc Ideal of stnte.

T-.i s has become too large n matter to re- main in pioprietary hands. TT IS tine that wc teuch our students 1 move assiduouslv in America than students nre taught Iu Kurotie; nnd the chief leason for this is ro lu r,,nml l the circumstance that education is here not n matter of leisure, but n means to nn end. equipment for life. In Ihig lund the traditions of n thousand years hne created a ruling clnss nnd the' edu cation of tlint class is tlie education of leisure. It Is not their education which alone has made them lenders. Moreover, in Knglnnd the trend of the newer edu cation is away from the old ideals of Oxford nnd Cambridge. And there is much leadership, even in Knglnnd, which is not ncademlc. TO PLANK in this plntfoim of pusillanimity seems to the Gowns- man so erntuitoiislv n ilennrnire irom the facts as the assertion that' American educntion ns a whole or ncn VmencHii educntion ns a whole or ncn n crv arge part tends toward midi- "rit.

Our educational system has defects, tSe defects of experimentation, of over-"nrncticalit" ns it Is called, and especially u mania for short cuts nnd utilitarian aud vocational learn ing on insufficient preparation. Hut we shnre iu all this with a trend iccog nizablc in all the countries of modern Luiope. LASTLY, let the Gownsman icnffirm that there is no such thing as "mass education," although circum stances may crowd our classrooms un comfortably nnd overwork the more zeal ous of our teachers. There Is n rr.nl danger, on the other hand, from class M-catlon in which prejudice ami nar? rowncss of spirit are liable to be fns tered by an association of onl one kind, one in which idleness may be condoned when wealth aud position counteuancc it, and tne strength of our oung man hood emasculated by coddling. A larger proportion of our American peoplo are interested in education now than ever heretofore, and for this we ought to be devoutly thankful. Our problem is not that of "the gold coast." but the problem of an institution which attracts fr education, not for social opportunity ni(l prestige. Kqual opportunities iu ' education for nil on American Hues, not foreign aristocratic imitations, knuivl edge nnd the eultuie which knowledge, brings; these, m) little friends, arc tho best weapons wherewith to light not only crude and ignorant notions of govern ment nnd Dolshevlstic experiments, but likewise that dry rot which, seeming to leave things exnetly as they are, cats out their vitals and leaves them really only a mask and a shell.

A man has energy, purpose, health, the will to live us he bos iutcrests. What is spent upon them returns to the spender several fold. They keep the mind fresh nnd the heart young., A nntiiralist lias the advantage over a business man, tlint be can always have the same interests. A businrr.s man hns to "retire." A mitiiralist never has to retire. Tlie miracle of spring is just ns much the miracle of spring for him nt eighty three as at thirty-three. The work of uiurveling at nature is never done. When A man's work is done he dies. Sears, the greatest mercantile genius this country has ever seen, built up Scnrs, Hoebuck & Co.. made millions and letlred soon nfter he was forty. He died in n few years for lack of iutcrests. Hurrouglis, at eighty-three, is kept in this wot 1(1 by the trees to be planted, the sugar maple snp to be drawn nnd boiled, the faith of the unturalist to be preached to mankind. !
