OF THE WAR BABIES

government census reports. Even sup

LONDON, July M. "War has sancti
fied the war baby," said Mrs. Cobden
B under on before the Women's Free
dom league at a meeting called to die
ens the subject, "Feminist and the War
Baby." Py the term, war baby, Mrs
Faunderson said she meant all babies
born In wartime, whether In or out of
wedlock.
As te the baby born out of wedlock,
the speaker asserted that the fact that

But its people have the fundamental ,wera In fact civilians. This practice hurt
desire for education which Is fostered ithe reputation of the army and should.
snd Increased through the years when
education Is compulsory.
From these hardy people there comes
a natural desire for the better things of
life. In the hearts of these children,
many of them with parents who came
from foreign lands where education was
the exclusive privilege of the rich and
great, is a natural and Instinctive desire
for learning.
"Distant fields look the greenest" and
that Is about the only reason Nebraska
young folks can find for going to the
far eastern Institutions.
Some, to whom money Is no object, go
to these schools also because they con
ilder that the social advantages are
greater and that they gain more prestige
at home from attending the far eastern
Institutions.
Schools of the State Are Good.
Be that as It may the fact remains
that there are within the limits of this
state and In the nearby states Institutions
of all kinds. While we are perhaps not
rich In great technical Institutions and
have not many special schools for young
women there are all manner of schools
scattered throughout this part of the
west, so that any student of any prep
aration and with any ambition may find
here first-class Instruction In any line
desired.
And the west, unlike the east, affords
the same opportunities for young women
as for young men, not only In education.
but In all lines and technical education
here Is on Hie Increase.
Take the state of Nebraska alone and
see the census of schools. Here are four
state normal schools and one large pri
vate normal. These institutions are Just
coming Into their own. Peru and. Kear
ney have an attendance during the. reg
ular year of approximately 600 each.
Chadron has about 800 and Wayne ap
proximating 400 during the regular term.
They offer liberal courses of education,
possess strong faculties and are. well
equipped.
They know Nebraska's needs and are
able to afford educational advantages
directed toward those needs mora effec
tively than other Institutions.
Aside from these, the colleges at Grand
(Island, Hastings. York, Oentral Otty,
Crete, Bellevue, Blair, Wahoo, College
View, together with Crelghton univer
sity, Cotner university, Wesleyaa univer
sity and Omaha university furnish col
lege facilities well distributed over the
state.
All of these Institutions are accredited
"d nre authorised by law to grant
Nth' certificates. They range in at
t ,vl-i:cv from 300 to 500 per year. The
"lit Normal school Is one of the
I t'Jiojt private normals In the country.
I I ia Kiven credit for the work It does
nud is authorised to issue teachers' cer
tificates. Beyond these comes the University of
Nebraska with its numerous divisions. Its

college, Its college of engineering, its
college of medicine, college of pharmacy,

4.000,
she added, be discouraged.
There ought to be no difference In the
treatment of the two classes of illegiti
mate war babies, soldier and civilian, by
the guardians of the poor, she went on
to say. Special provision should be made
for the livelihood of such mothers by al
lowing them to earn their own money
rather than to exist on charity.

Miles of Entanglements Help to De

DEATH TO PENETRATE THEM
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
WARSAW, Poland. July Barbwlre,
machine guns and excellent railway ar
rangements, have been the chief elements
In the German operations In Poland dur
ing the last three months. Owing to over
whelming superiority In these three
respects, the Germans have been able
to hold lines many hundreds miles In
length against what was frequently a
far superior force of Russians, at least
aa numbers were concerned.
To defend the German positions along
the little rivers Bzura and Rawka, where
ths two armies have been facing each
other since last fall, would in the ordinary
manner of speaking require nearly eight
army corps. But the Germans have been
able to maintain their places here with a
small fraction of that number, owing to
the fact that their barbwlre defenses and
troop-transit arrangements are so per
fect. Miles of Tangled 'Wires.
Along this Bsura-Rawka front of about
forty miles the German barbwlre defenses
are literally four miles In depth, the en
tanglements being so arranged that in a
military sense they cover the whole ter
ritory. Behind each group of entangle
ments, at the little strategic ganglions
which are easy to determine from tho
contour of the land and the lines of
possible approach, there are posted little
batteries of machine guns ready to sweep
away any rash offensive. It would cost
an attacking force hundreds of thou
sands of men to wade through these wire
entangelments. which zigzag and crlss
cross in hollows; and mass themselves In
hodges and walls, all the vital points
being commanded by a merciless storm
of machine gun fire.
The only possible way of penetrating
such a maze would be by destroying It
with a persistent storm of shells, and
even this would require several days,
giving the defenders time to bring up
reinforcements over their admirable
etrategio railways. In the meanwhile,
also, more wire would be laid down far
ther back.

CONSTANTINOPLE. July l.-On the
road to EntUly, three kilometers east of
one of the dirtiest little towns In Ana
tolia, In a group of drafted Armenians
engaged In road-building, the Associated
Press correspondent found a youn? Ger
man engineer, clad In the uniform of a
Turkish pioneer officer.
Tea," replied the young German to
the question put to him, "t am building
this road. Here Is a place where there
have been many washouts. I am rivet
tin? the embankment and hone that the
road will stay for a while after that. It's
a Ureal y life, of course. But it has to
be done. I'd rather be in the firing line
in Flanders, or any old place, for that
matter. But nowadays we all have to
help where best we can."
That the road was needed, and that It
was best to keep it in good repair was
shown a little later, when a regiment of
Turkish artillery went over it at a lively
clip.
Taktna Oat the Kinks.
At the foot ef tho Amanus pass there
was another German engineer doing simi
lar work.
"I am taking the kinks out of the
road," he replied. "You see, these old
ramps up the mountain have been used
from time immemorial. I suppose soma
donkey first discovered that as being one
way of getting over the hill. I mean
four-footed donkey. In the days of Nebu
chadnezzar. Since then all the armies of
antiquity and a few modern ones have
used the road without knowing that the
hill can be ascended In an easier way."
Then he showed the correspondent a
new survey he had made. The old road
took eight turns to get over the pass,
many of them very steep. The new road
takes only one, and It reduces the possi
bility of accidents. A cut or two, a little
revetting, and the trick was done.
At Ishlalah the correspondent met a
German medical officer. The man had
formerly been In the employ of the Bag
dad railroad. When the war cams he
entered the service of the Ottoman army,
because physicians and surgeons were
needed. He was put in command of ths
sanitary troops of Syria.
Clearing- lp the Place.
"They have had some typhoid fever
and typhus around here." he explained.
"I am trying to get rid of both. Making
fair progress. Getting place cleaned up.
Most places now safe. Nothing to fear."
The man talked aa if he had to -turn
In a certified voucher for every word he
uttered lh the course of a day. He was
serious. It 1m doubtful whether he had
ever smiled In his life.
In Aleppo another German officer was
met. He too had his niche in the Otto
man army affairs. He Is looked upon as
somewhat of an expert In "baso and line
of communication" matters: but, to Judge
by his appearance, one could swear that
he had Just stepped out of the best draw
ing room In Berlin. He said he was doing
his best. The Turkish base commander
said he was doing wonders. He had Just
managed to find several tons of railroad
spikes where nobody ssispected them in
a clothing store belonging to an Armen
ian. "How they got there, I don't know, he
mused reflectively In the casino. Oot
some water piping In the same place."
Everywhere the correspondent found
the German officer, almost always
single handed, and always In charge of
some department of war and military af
fairs that must not go wrong
Tmlalner the Troops.
In Adana two Germsn officers were
training the troons of the vilayet of that
name. Other German officers were met
here and there. They were all doing the
same thing to a different tune preparing
Turkey for the war, or putting the fin
ishing touches on work already done.
No data on the number of German of
ficers and noncommissioned men In tho
Ottoman army are available. But it Is
certain that their Influence In the Otto-
man army Is great. Many observations

ent to ssy that the Turk makes an apt
pupil In military matters. Ho loves
nothing better than to feel that he Is a
smart soldier. This Is the wenk side
which the German officers appeals to
with good results.
The point upon which the German) have
concentrated their greatest energy Is
the Dardanelles, with the GalllpoU penin
sula. Jln"e Inst November have German
officers Hnd noncommissioned men been
busy here. The various batteries have
been Improved by them, new one em
placed, and Turkish artillery men have
been given such additional training an

It may be told, will make a most Inter
