stores throughout Greater New York.

in every way possible fought the MEM
Ders Of the combine. Last night he was
called to his 10th street store and was
walking in that direction when two
men slipped Up behind him. both firing
at the same time. Baff fell dead with
Two bullets through his chest. The
assassins escaped in a waiting auto
mobile.
No one has been found near the scene
OF the murder. able to give-a descrip-
don of the assassins. One of Baff' S
employees is held because he refused to

How many high school pupils in
| Washington can answer that question
without further research? Or, for that
matter. how many grown-ups can give
this information off-hand?
The grown-ups may answer il y they
| wish, but those who are to be rewarded
for doin" so are the pupils of the seven
high schools Of Washington. This ques-
ton is the second in a series The Times
is running daily until thirty questions
have been printed.
When the series has been concluded,
competitors will be given one week to
submit answers to the entire series.
answers must not be sent in separately.
And all answers must be in the pupils
handwriting. must be written on one
side OF the paper only, and, in no case,
will typewriter answers be considered.
Though the first question WAS printed
yesterday. The Times Educational Com
petition already has aroused wide at
t5ntlon In Washington. Parents and
teachers will watch, with keen interest,
the progress of the questions.
These questions will cover a wide

others will relate to industries of Wash
ington. some will touch upon public
buildings. and others will be concerned
with the municipal government of the
city.
One medal will be awarded to the
pupil OF each high school submitting
the best set of answers. From these
seven winning answers the best will be
selected, and the contributor of that

harder than these two. but answers
may be obtained in all cases by Ie-

cism Of policies that have kept Amer

history with the sword" was made by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels In an

Praise For The Times.
The Washington Times, in a wise
editorial few days ago." Secretary
Daniels declared. REFLECTED the temper
of the American people when it said:
These are perilous times. Anybody
can show how we can get into war
What We want Is to keep out of it.
Surely we shall play a finer role by
maintaining friendly relations with all
the warning countries, overlooking even
differences that at any other time
might seriously strain them, and being
ready to act the part of peacemaker
when the proper time comes than it,
in order to show that we are not afraid
toes, whether by accident or other
wise
Cause For Thanksgiving.
Secretary Daniels said that as a IA
ton Americans have many things to be
thankful for this Thanksgiving Day.
LAS we see the smoke rising from the
battlefields of Europe and hear the cry
OF the dying. we NAV we'll thank God
that we are yet at peace" the Secretary
said, in praising President Wilson, who,
by a wise policy OF diplomacy prevent
ed war with a neighbor republic to the
south of us. and whose utmost endeavor
is to avoid complications that might
embroil us in the present war of ma
tions."
'It is a matter which makes the
American people to be thankful Secre-
tary Daniels added, that it has at the
helm in this time of world crisis a man
who has full realization of the mean
ing of war. who, as he said. has a
passion for peace and whose every ac-
ton Is an assurance to his people that
he will promote national peace with na-
tional 1onor."
