DECORATE FOR THE CARNIVAL.
...JAXUAKY11, 1915. In New York the story has already been told.
Davenport, running against Whitman and
Glynn, hardly received any attention. In Illi
nois the Progressive vote fell off 70 per cent.
Senator Beveridge, Progressive, was a poor
third in the race for the Indiana senatorship.
From a Republican standpoint, the most
cheering feature of the Progressive collapse
was the simultaneous gain of the Republican
party by the same number of votes the Pro
gressives lost. It has been shown conclusively
that the Bull Moosers have gone back into the
Republican fold. Thus in Connecticut the re
union of the Republican factions swept the
Democrats out of office, elected a Republican
governor, senator and five congressmen.
In this state, Governor Simeon Yu Baldwin,
Democrat, was a candidate for senator against
Frank E. Brandegee, Republican, who was run
ning for reelection. After his defeat Baldwin
said:
"The key to the election is very simple. The
Progressives of Connecticut got tired of fol
lowing the Angaries of Ex-President Roosevelt
and most of them returned to the Republican
fold, from which they had gone out originally.
"I think also that the indictment of more
than 20 of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Company's directors and the labeling as
conspirators of a good many highly esteemed
citizens of Connecticut who, are in their graves
had an unfavorable effect on the Democratic
prospects."

; vj ;S WORSE THAN BELGIUM. '
UpTiorta from the war-zone indicate that
Servia is in even a wors plight than Belgium
Th;s Jittle country of four million people sent
to war nearly half of its male' population. Their
very success against the Austnans hepped to
aggravate the plight of the country because
in : addition to their own! disabled soldiers, the
Serbs have had to care for tens of thousands
of the Vnemy. Hospital and medical Services
have been entirely over-taxed, r ooa supplies
sre reduced to a minimum. It is declared that
hundreds of people are literally starving to
death, and f!iat the rate of mortality among:
the wounded is appalling a needless mortality
if efficient care could be given the soldiers at
the time : of being disabled in battle. Never
theless, the Serbs have driven the' Austrian
from their soil and have carried the campaign
liito theenemy cotmtry.s And like Belgium,
their courage is costing them dearly. ,

Zzzzno longer. ."When the prohibition question

EFFICIENCY OF
SCHOOLS ill
GHER
WORT SHOYS
Attendance In Second Term of
1914 Shows Increase, Says
Superintendent Kinney
With considerable elation Superin
tendent Henry W. Kinney of the de
partment of public instruction ai
nounced this morning that the schools
of the territory have shown an in
creased efficiency of 1 per, cent in the
last term over the one preceding. Thi3
is in point of school attendance, and
means, in plain terms, that an aver
age of 280 more children were in the
public schools every day of the last
term than were attending them in the
second term of the former year.
This is despite the inclement weath
er which the frequent and heavy
storms of the last four months have
made the worst season in many yeais.
The increased attendance causes no
extra expense to the territory, but
gives the school children the 'addi
tional instruction which they bad not
been receiving before.
There are approximately 28,000
school -children in the territory. The
attendance percentage is 'figured on
the basis of those enrolled. If there
are 80 pupils in one school and all
attended every day of the term the
average would be 100 per cent Su
perintendent Kinney has worked out
the average attendances by islands
for the last term and the preceding
one, disclosing the following percentages:
