NO SIGNS OF WAR

Eastern Fields Where Two Great Battles Progress Re tain all lnterest-Generals Parying Better Positions.

LONDON, Nov 21- Exertme cold weathe rand exhaustion Of troops en. gagged have virtually brought the bat. tle in Flanders and France to stand. still The desultary artillery duel con tinues at some points along the wido front and there have been occasional infantry attacks but for the last three days fighting has been mild compar ed with the ferceness of that of more than month before
 The Germans, 1t is evident. have sent their best troops to the eastern front, even in big guns the allies ap- pear to have the advantage over them. There are no signs, however, of an offensive on a large scale on the part of the Allies, who are doubtless as badly in need of rest as their op ponents. In fact it is stated that the officers and men who have born the brunt of the fighting in the trenches are being given short leaves.
 This, together with the cancellation of the order for the removal of ship ring for Dunkirk. is taken to indicate that the Allies consider their posi- tions safe for the present and that they do not contemplate any imme diate attemp at a forward movement For this reason and because the re- suit will have a most important bear ing on the war, interest is still cen tered Cn the battles in Poland.
 As been the case heretofore when important vents were impending, lit- tle news is coming from either Berlin or Petrograd as to the operations It is known, however, the Germans are offering a stubborn resistance to the Russian advance in East Prussia.
 General Von Hindenburg, comman- der of the German troops and Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in chief of the Russians. the two greatest suategists the war has produced are maueuvering for positions between the Vismla and Warta and big bat tie is in progress on the Cracow Czenstochcwa line between Russian and the Austro-Germau forces. An un- official dispatch coming through Rome says the Russians repulsed two at tacks before Cracow, but beyond the Russian official statement that the Russians had partial success north west of Lodz, there is nothing to iu- dicate how the campaign is going
 In socialist quarters in Copepgagen which in touch with socialists Berlin it is said 100000 men are engaged in battles on the Russo-German iron tiers and 100000 on the Austro-Ger man side against 100000 Russians.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The evac uation of Mexico City by Carranza troops will be completed by tomorrow noon, according to onic.al dispatches to the state department Generals Blanco and Obregon, In command there, have assured the Brazilian min ister, John Siliman, representing the president that a small force will be | left to preserve order
 ,Carranza forces are moving eastward to Orizaba. Carranza's temporary cap ital Just what their plans are in re- spect to Mexico O.ty are not revealed
 Villa has advanced to QueretarO. which he occupied without resistance. This fact has given rise to an impress ion in official circles that his entrance into Mexico City wll also be unre- sisted
 It is believed possible, however, that the withdrawal of Cawanza fore es is a strategic maneuver and that Obregon will endeavor to cut Villas communication with the northern states, while forces under General Jesus Carranza and other generals loyal to the first chief will attempt i to str ke his columns with Orizaba as a base.
 Wire communication between Mex leo City and Vera Cruz is uncertain and officials will not be surprised if they lose telegraphic communication with Silliman when tomorrow's eyac. uation of the Mex.can capital is com pleted.
 Officials of the war department de clared tonight that there is no change in the announced plan for the evacua- ton of Vera Cruz by the American forces. Monday It is said officially that the question which faction or force would receive the possession of Vera Cruz has been left to General l Funston for determination. It is un- ! derstood he will deliver the city to whichever force is in defacto control in the immediate yisinity of the port. ! No question Of recognition, it IS said. is involved by the state department.

 The party comes to Arizona at this time for no special purpose other than to pay their annual visit to the pro perties in which they are interested.
 After finishing their inspection Of the properties in the Warren district they will visit the New Conelia pro perty in the Ajo mountains, west of Tucson. where deelopment work has been underway during the past three years
 Mir Cole was asked for am opinion as to the general industrial condition of the country and frankly admitted that they had been in wretched state, but that he thought soon there would be relief Speaking of copper he said that he thought all the pro ducers had curtailed their output to fifty percent of the normal. Some are shut down and doing nothing and 1t is the opinion of Mr. Cole that others would be the gathers if they were also idle. were it not for the necessity 10 hold on 10 few valuable men and preserve an organization in the hope that the dark industrial cloud will soon raise and disappear

school diploma. Virtually all of the
teachers have had professional train
ing, the various summer schools and
teachers institutes being literally
patronized by Upton County teachers.
The interest of the teachers IN their
work is well shown by the fact that
the smallest number in attendance
at any teachers meeting this year
has been sixty. Including the High
School there are one hundred white
teachers in the employment of the
County Board of Education. They
constitute a well organized, efficient
force, and one of which the citizenship
of any county may feel just pride.
The schools of the county are rap
idly being provided with good equip
ment. About 10 per cent Of the fund
derived from the sale of the school
bonds was expended for desks, black
boards, globes and other school appa-
! ratus, and the schools fully supplied
with these. Application has been
made and State aid promised to the
amount of $1,000 for the installation
of libraries. These will largely in
crease the efficiency of the work in
the schools.
The High School situation in the
county is equally as satisfactory as
that of the public schools. There are
two high schools, one at Covington and
the other at Brighton. At Brighton
the High school is run in connection
with the public school, both being in
the same building. Within the past
three years the enrolment in both
departments Of the Brighton school
has increased eighty-ive. Prof. B. R.
Tinker, graduate sof Erskine Col
lege, is principal of the school and I'M
der his supervisions further progress
is expected. The County High School
at Covington is maintained in sepa-

$4,000. When the county taxes are
collected and the apportionment of
the State funds made, the school
overdraft will be taken care of, and
the close of the fiscal year ending Sep
TENDER 1, 1915, will show approx
mately the same amount to the cred
it of the school fund as for. the year
ending September 1, 1914. There is
no institution that is run with great
Ell economy than the public schools of
Upton Coupnty. The per capita school
fund is less than four dollars for each
child of school age in the county.
Forty thousand dollars appears as a
large fund to expend for the public
schools of the county till it is stated
that there are more than IL 900 child
rem of school age in the county and
then it appears pitifully small 1t has
been the policy of the present Board of
Education to pay as liberal salaries
to the teachers as possible in order
that the best talent might be secured,

less tina nthe equivalent of full four
years high school course. AS shown
by the report of Elementary School
Inspector Frazier, made two years
ago, only II per cent of the rural
school teachers of the State held col
lege diplomas, and only about 80 per-
cent had the equivalent of a four
year high school course. 1t is thus
seen that in the matter of scholar
ship the teaching force of the county
is head and shoulders above the aver
age for the State. 1t is believed that
the percentage Of Upton County
teachers who have college or normal
school advantages is greater than
that of any other rural county in the
State. In the matter of experience,
the teaching force of the county ranks
high. OF the AZ school principals
elected by the board last July, only
two were without previous experience
in teaching. And one Of these held
a college and the other a normal

rate building, and the high school en-
rollment at the beginning of the term
was 12C, one half of whom were from
the town of Covington and the other
from the country. This school, the
Byars- Hall, under the supervision of
Prof. B. o. Duggan has achieved ex-
ceiiert results, being one of the six
teen in the State that is on the ac-
credited list of American Colleges.
This means that the students who
graduate from this school will be en-
rolled in nearly any college in the
United States without examination.
Of this school, State High School In
spcctor ". R. Bourne made this state
ment in his report for the year end
ing June 80, 1914: "The County
High School of Upton is called the
Byars-Hall High School and repre-
sents the strong type of such schools
outside the large cities. 1t is perhaps
one Of the most normal and efficient
developments in the State" See
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1914-12-31

and this policy should be continued.
AT present the average salary OF the
teachers is less than $500 per year.

hearty cooperation of progressive
County Court, and of the Board of
Education that is second to none in
the State. And the effort of the
school authorities of the county to
go forward has met with proper
response on the part of the people.
The Office Of the County Superin-
tendent is kept open every day in the
week for the transaction of business.
An Office system has been installed,
and complete records of all school
transactions, including a ledger ac-
count with each school in the county
is kept The clerical work of the office
is largely done by the book-keeper and
stenographer, employed by your
County Superintendent at his own ex-
pense. Some idea of the Office work
of a County Superintendent may be
gathered from the record kept for
the month beginning August Fl and
ending September 20, 1914. In this
month 267 warrants were issued. Six
hundred and seventy-five peope came
into the office on school business. Four
hundred and fifty telephones were re-
ceived in regard to school matters.

Fourth Annual Report of State High
School Inspector. page Is. The schools.
at Brighton and Covington are the
only ones in the county maintained
under the State High School law, but
great deal of high school work is
done by other schools. At. Munford
the equivalent of a. full four years
high school course in given; two years
of high school work is now given at
Mason and at Phelan, and grades in
advance of the elementary school
course are taught in number of the
county schools.
The interest on the part of the pa
irons of the various schools is great
er than ever before. This is evident
from the fact that the enrolment for
the year ending July l., 1914, was
1000 greater than for the year end
ing July 1, 1913. Present Indications
are that the present year will show
further increase of at least 900 in
the enrolment. A higher standard of
qualification for the teachers, better

rallies, the organization of school i'm
| provement leagues, and to some ex-
tent the agitation of the compulsory
school law are the factors that have
contributed to this increased interest
on the part of the patrons of the
schools.
The greatest immediate need of the
county schools is more funds. There
has been no increase in the tax rate
for public schools in this county in the
past five years, though there has been
large increase in the enrolment,
inecessitating the employment of a
number of additional teachers. The
report of the Trustee at the close of
the fiscal year, which ended Septem-
Der L, 1914, showed balance to the
credit of the school fund of about

Within the next six months the plan
of building improvement mapped out
by the Board of Education under the
direction of your Superintendent
will have been completed, and then
practically all of the schools of the
county will be housed in substantial,
comfortable and attractive buildings
that conform to modern ideas in re-
gard to sanitation and ventilation.
The length of term is very satisfac-
tory for rural schools, the average
fOr~the county being in excess of eight
months for the white schools. This is
an increase of two months within the
past three years, and is, perhaps, the
greatest increase for any county in
the State. During the same period of
time there has been no increase in the
length of term for the State at large,
though some counties have shown an
increase.
The teaching force of the county is
far above the average in the matter
of scholarship, professional training
and teaching experience. In public
address at the High School building
last summer State superintendent S.
H. Thompson stated that the teaching
force of Upton County compared fav-
orably with that of Shelby, Davidson,
