GRAHAM APPROVES
CONTINUOUS TERMS
FOR CITY SCHOOL 5
THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
DOUBTS ADVsABlLlTY IN THE
COUNTRY.
SITUATION There IS Different
NO Such Problem Confronts the Par
ents As They Have With the Bows
in the Centers of Population-WiII
Come Some Day.

County Superintendent Graham. of
the department Of public instruction,
Is inclined to agree, in part at least,
with Hon. P. P. Claxton, commission
er of education of the United States,
in his suggestion of continuous ses-
sions for the public schools.
While l doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of
establishing this rule in the country
districts, especially at this time, /
see some very substantial reasons
why the change should be made in the
cities and towns. Unquestionanbly
what to do with the boys of the cit
les and towns during the vacation Pc
Rod of three months or more is a
most important and vexatious prob
lem. 1t would be very much better
In many, many cases If the boys were
kept continuously in school until their
education should be finished, than to
have them roaming the streets or
loafing about the public places.
1T is also equally true that the con-
ltinuous school would make for great
err efficiency in our educational work.
lOf that have no sort of doubt. To
very large extent the children are
demoralized in their studies by the
long vacations. 1t would also enable
US to teach many things for which we
now have no time.
Again justice to the teacher would
seem to demand continuous employ
ment. know of no other business
where the employees are paid for nine
months in the year, or with US eight
months, and then a meagre salary,
and are then turned loose to shift as
best they can for three or four
months. A large majority of the
teachers, especially those who are in
the profession with the intention of
making it their life's work, would very
much prefer the continuous employ
ment
"Now in the country the situation
| is different. A large majority of the
boys who are attending the country
schools of this state will have some
sort of employment on the farm dur
ing the vacation period. They will
have an opportunity then to learn the
things Of life that cannot be learned
in the school room. For education,
| it must be borne in mind, does not
consist alone in the things learned
from the books. Again l doubt very
much If any considerable number Of
the country boys and girls would at
tend the schools all the year if they
had the opportunity, and for the
reasons stated, it is not clear to me
! that they would be any better off
were they to do so.
Probably the time will come when
in the cities and towns of the country
we shall have continuous school
terms, as they have in some cities
now. But that is pretty far in the fu.
ture. UnquestionabHy, however, Mr..
Claxton's suggestions have merit in
them"

TURKS FIRE ON IT,

WILSON DEMANDS EXPLANATION
FROM OTTOMANS FOR FIRING
BY FORTS AT SMYRNA.
TRY TO PREVENT CLASH
NSTANTINoPLE AMBASSADOR
ASKED TO REQUEST PORTE
TO MAKE PREPARATION.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington. - The United States
government has directed Ambassador
Henry Morgenthau at Constantinople
to ask the Ottoman government for an
explanation of the firing by Turkish
land forces at launch from the Amer
lean cruiser Tennessee, proceeding
from Vourlah to the American con-
sulate at Smyrna, Asia Minor.
Secretary Daniels, with the approval
of President Wilson, simultaneously
cabled the commanders of the Tennes-
see and the North Carolina, also in the
Mediterranean, to take no action which
might embarrass the American gov
ernment and to await specific instruc-
tions from Washington concerning the
general situation.
These steps followed the receipt of
a message from Capt. Benton c.
Decker, commander of the Tennessee,
which was paraphrased in this state.
nent from the Navy Department:
Capt. B. C. Decker, in command of
the Tennessee, wired Secretary Dan.
iels that while proceeding from Your
lah to Smyrna to make official calls
his boat was fired at. The consul was
anxious for safety of consulate. The
Tennessee proceeded to and left Your.
lah' at request of ambassador and is
now anchored in the harbor of Scio,
Greece, from which place Captain
Decker's telegram was sent. Secretary
Daniels wired for fuller information"
Although without definite details az
to just what occurred, high officials OF
the Washington government had nc
doubt that the incident, no matter
where the responsibility lay, would be
promptly adjusted through diplomatic
channels.
President Wilson is determined that
under no circumstances shall the
United States be involved in a war
with Turkey, but he will seek an apol.
ogy. If the Turkish officers acted
without the authority of the Ottoman
government and the firing was not
justified by naval procedure in a
closed port, it is confidently believed
here that the Ottoman government
will render an apology.
On account of the slow cable
communication from Constantinople
through the only available route, Bull
garia, Roumania, Austria and Italy, no
message concerning the incident came
from Ambassador Morgenthau, his last
dispatches dated Nov. IA, only arriv-
ing Wednesday. They were of a rou-
tine character.

URGE WILSON TO STOP STRIKE
Federal Operation of Colorado Coal
Mines Advocated.


Philadelphia, Pa-The American
Federation OF Labor in annual conven-
zion unanimously adopted a resolution
calling upon the President of the
United States ''to insist that the Colo
RADIO coal operators Immediately com.
ply with the federal plan of settle
ment" of the strike in that state. and
"in the event they refuse that he take
such steps as are necessary to have
receiver appointed for the mines af-
fected, and operate them in the inter
est of the people, under federal SUPER
vision, until such time as the civil and
political rights of the people are es-
tablished."
The resolution was adopted without
discussion. The committee expressed
sympathy for the strikers, and as
sured them support until the strike is

Lord Roberts.

,chill Thursday and pneumonia rapidly
developed. His great age. eighty-two
years, initiated against his recovery
the crisis in the disease coming
quickly.
The news of the death of Lord Rob
erts came as an entire surprise to Eng
land. The veterans devotion to the
interests of his army, his hard work in
this connection and his seeming good
health had been the subject of COM
ment since the beginning of the war.
He was the most popular military fig
ure in Great Britain and a national
hero without rival in the affections of
the people.
Despite his years, he had never
ceased hard work since his nominal re-
tirement, and, as he had often re-
marked, he lived a rigidly abstemious
life that he might preserve his strength
for the service of his country.
During the last five or six years,
when the German war cloud had been
growing, he prosecuted an active cam
paign to persuade the nation to adopt
a compulsory military service.
Field Marshal Roberts worked day
and night for the welfare of the sol
diers from the outbreak of the war. He
took the greatest interest in the Indi-
ans and issued an appeal for funds for
their wounded and sick.
The government, it is expected, will
offer a tomb in Westminster Abbey or
st. Paul's, for the empires foremost
soldier.
Roberts of Kandahar, Pretoria and
Waterford" as Field Marshal Lord
Frederick Sleigh Roberts was known,
sums up briefly the career of the noted
soldier whose death has plunged the
empire into mourning.
Scion of a noble Irish family, Lord
Roberts was born in 1892 in Cawnpore,
India, where his father. General Sir
Abraham Roberts, was serving.
1t was in the Indian service that the
gallant and efficient Irish soldier
achieved his first and lasting fame. 1t
was in South Africa, in his later years,
that this was supplemented and magni-
fled by his achievements in Great Brit
aims victorious campaign against the
Beers.
But, if it was as field marshal and
earl that Lord Roberts was formally
known, it was as "Bobs" that the men
of the ranks knew him, loved him and
greeted him. In their estimation, and
in that of the admiring public, which
appreciated and applauded his gallant
services for his country, no name
could fit him better than this diminu-
tive of his family name-and word
meaning "hero" in Hindu.

Summary Of EVeRtS.)

a special dispatch from Petro-
grad says that the advance of the
Russians toward Cracow, Austria,
is overcoming all obstacles, both
the difficulty Of the passes and
the desperate resistance of the
Austrians. Cracow is entirely be-
sieged on the northeast. A sortie
from Przemysl has been repulsed
by Russian artillery and cavalry,
which inflicted severe losses on
the Austrians.
Winter Now in East Prussia.
In the eastern arena of war winter
has set in and the mountains where
the troops are facing each other are
now covered with snow.
The Russians, continuing their en-
veloping movement around East
Prussia, have entered Rypin, which is
west of Soldau and on the road to
Thorn; so that they have almost sur
rounded Emperor Williams north

Just south of Rypin, however, the
Germans have taken the offensive
ed defeat on the Russians near
Wloclawek. on the Vistula river.
Check the Retreat.
Military observers say the Germans
apparently have checked their retreat
in Poland and by counter attacks are
endeavoring to create a diversion.
They say, however, that the Russians
are not to be turned from their plan,
which is believed to be an attack on
Danzig.
Russian Advance Continues.
Five great Russian armies continue
to roll forward in advances into East
Prussia and Galicia.
With the occupation of Johannis-
burg, the Russian forces got the key
to the railway lines along the border
from Stalluponen, through Lyck with
Johannesburg as the southern terminal.
In Galicia the investment of Przemysl
has been resumed with the Russian
army encircling the fortress on three
sides. The southernmost point is at
Turha, with the line stretching north
east and then around to Rzeszow, tC
the west of Przemysl.
The army approaching Cracow from
Poland is now declared to be at the
outer defenses. The official state
ments place the main body of this
force within twenty TO twenty-five
miles of the city.
Between Thursday and Sunday the
German Wirballen army transferred
its main forces from the right to the
left flank, where a furious battle is
still in progress

a dispatch from Berlin says the
Austrian general staff has ordered an
