"I would rather that the average girl should know more of herself, her duties, possibilities and dangers that threaten "ner than that she know about square and cubic root." This was the statement made Tuesday morning by Prof. Charles Albert in his talk before the .St. Joseph county teachers' institute at the 'high school auditorium. "I am not advocating sex hygiene to be taught in the schools. In fact 1 am dead set against that. I do not believe that the boys and girls in our high school or public school either together or separated, should be compelled to talk over with a teacher such matters. Most of thai, form of education is all 'tommyrot" and conducive to more harm than good." Prof. Albert's lecture Tuesday morning dealt with the three-fold nature of the child. He said that the child consisted of the body, mentality and spirit, and above all the spirit of God inspiring everything. "The body should be prepared for toil in later years. Formerly it was believed that if a child came of parents whose ancestors were bent tuberculosis, that the child must die of tuberculosis. This is not true. A strong body may be built tip. On the other hand intellectuality may make a great rascal. It also may make a person a great force in a community. Hut an individual to be a helpful tactor. must be learned as well as good." Dr. Lincoln Hulley talked during the morning on "lowell. the Yankee Idyllist".

DIPLOMATS AND WAR GOVERNOR IN BRUSSELS CLASH

(CONTIMT.D FROM PAGE ONE) Oise 72 miles northeast, of Paris; Laon is 7." miles northeast of Paris.) Try to (iuln Shortcut Road. "That Is to say they are trying to gain the shortest road to Paris. The reason for this maneuver is obvious. At Iafere they strike the main road to Paris, rjnr.ing by way of Nuyon. Champiegne and Senlis." (Champeigne is on the Aisne, 4 2 miles northeast of Paris; Senlis is a railroad town 2 5 miles northeast of Paris. "They would also command two main highways which is important as the railway line would probably be destroyed. One of thes? highway, s passes through Nuyon. Champeigne and Seniis; the other through Laon iind .oissons." (S)issons is on the Aisne river, 36 miles northeast of Paris.) Try to I)rie Wedge. "It seems they are trying to drive a wedge in a rough circle formed by Nuyon, Champeigne, Soissons and Iion. The strategy of Germany therefore, becomes apparent. Three German armies are marching on Paris, that is to say. their main armies. The most westerly is that operating in the vicinity of La fere and endeavoring to enter a rough circle formed by Nuyon, Champeigne, Srissons and Laon. The central is which has been in action In the vicinity of Signy L'Abby, which is endeavoring to seize the main road by way of Ethel and march on Reims." (Luyons and 'igny L'Abby are in the French department of Ardennes. The forme is 10S miles east of Paris. Ethel is 118 miles north of Paris, located near the Aisne river. Reims is 7,1 miles northeast of Paris.) "The third army Is that commanded by Crown Prince Frederick William, which is also endeavoring to converge on Reims by the way of Montmedy, Stenay and Mezieres. Allies Forte Should Win. "Of the disposition of the allies to resist these three attacks we know but little, but with the immense forces which should be at Gen. Jol'fre's disposal, there should be little difficulty in holding the entire German force. "A victory has been won at Guise, but nevertheless the Germans have been progressing In the region about Iafere." (Guise is on the Oise, 100 miles northeast of Paris.) "This would seem to point to an undue weakening of the center of the allied line to protect the left wing, which is no longer menaced. Offensive in Lorraine Checked. "Apparently the German offensive in Ix)rraine, which assumed threatening proportions last week has been completely checked. The French advance have seized the right bank of the river Mortagne. It may have been that the German offensive in this quarter was merely a blind to stop the movement of the French corps toward the north." (The river Mortagne flows into the Meurthe In eastern France. According to Col. Repington the outcome in northern France is still to be decided. He says: "As obscure as the posit oris .f the front are there seems to be no doubt that the German advance is being pushed forward. Rut we have some reason for hope that the German troops are on the point of exhaustion from hard marching and fighting and that the fresh troops brought forward by the French and English will be able to arrest their advance.

of the Cierman right toward Lafere tonls to show that the enveloping movement on this flank has not even been adcpiatepy met and that the general outcome of the fighting in the nurth is still in doubt. If the allies thrust back the German advance or if both sides maintain their positions the situation is clear enough, but if we are not so fortunate and further retirement is necessary then cur positions become most difficult and the strength of the fortresses around Paris looms up as the most important factor. "Paris was defended in 170 ard 1S71 by a ring of detached forts and was garrisoned mainly by national guardsmen and a mobile force. It was not properly victualled but energetic measures, which were taken, enabled it to hold out for four months. "Since then there has been added to the old fortifications an. exterior line of fortresses and on the line of these new forts the active defense of the city will rest. The old line begins in the north at St. Denis with Fort Dti Nord and Fort He L' Est and continues through the line of Fort IV Villiers. Fort IV Mainville. Fort IV Noisy, Fort IV Rosny. Fort IV Nogent, Fort Do Charenton, Fort D'lvey. Fort De Ricentre. Fort Ie Montrouge. Fort IVIssy to Mont Valvien. Makes Paris Fortified Irovinee. "The perimeter of these forts is about 3 4 miles. The new line of forts makes Paris a fortified province. It embraces in its defended area Enghiene, Argentuil. Versailles and the forests of St. Germain and P.ondy. The perimeter is more than SO miles. "Starting from the north there are in succession Fort Cahmeilles, Fort De Montlignon. Fort De Domont. in succession Fcrt Carmeilles, Fort Stains. all forming the northern group. To the east there are Fort Vaukauros and Fort Chelles. "Between the Marne and the Seine come Fort Villiers, Fort Champigny. Fore De Secy and Fort Villeneuve St. George. To the south is Fort

Palaiseau while on the hills from Fort ; Palaiseau to Fort Chattillion are batteries of heavy guns. "On the west star.d Fort Villeras. Fort Haute Rue, Fort St. Cyr and Fort Marly with numerous batteries. Will Need r()0,0)0 Men. "If Paris is invested the line held by the enemy will not be less than 100 miles long and if this line is held in the same strength as it was in 1S70 no less than 500,000 men will be required to occupy it. Such numbers will materially weaken the German army to such an extent that it is possible that instead of attacking the whole line of the French defense the kaiser's forces will concentrate upon some section of the line which they think is the weakest. If the Germans can breach the line and get their artillery close enough to bom (Continued

"Although Russian ofi'.eial reports, of severe and long fighting in Galieia. and south of Lubin do not claim decisive victory, there is every reason to hope that the splendid fighting of the Russian troops and tho skilful' leadership of the Russian nrmies have taken the measure of the Aus-tro-Hungarian arrrcy and threaten it with serious and perhaps decisive deleat. The main Austrian attack was made toward Lublin, but a strong force has also confronted a dangerous fianl: attack with the Russian army of East Galieia has been steadfastly pursuing. This eastern Russian threatens to overwhelm Lemberg and outflank the Austrian. During its defeat the main Austrian army peems to have fought well. It has wrestled with the Russians during a week nf terrific fighting, but late advices showthat it Is at last in retreat. If tho reported Austrian communique which has found its way into the Italian press is to be relied upon, the Austrian government admits defeat. "However, it has frequently been pointed out by the highest militarv authorities that a determined and successful Russian offensive movement toward Rerlin could not take place until the main Austrian army has been disposed of." from Pae 3.)
