Million Women Make Appeal.

President Wilson had before him to-
day for consideration a strong appeal
that he lead movement to end the

Plans Halted for the Present.

High officials of the administration
have again let it be known that the
President has gone as far in his pre-
liminary efforts for peace as he in
tends to go at this time. He does not
care to pose before the world as pro-
posing impractical projects to secure
peace. He knows too well that condi-
tions arc not ready for peace. He
thought it advisable to sound the
fighting nations. but having done SO,
with no satisfactory results, he is
through for the present.
The President is receiving numerous
suggestions that interfere in the situ
alton abroad in behalf of peace. Many
women's clubs, religious organizations
and worlds peace advocat tes are pour.ng
letters and documents into the White
House, advising the President TO do
tl.iS or that. On the other hand, the
President plainly sees that only de-
cisive battles, together with the pinch
of suffering among the non com pa tants.
will weigh sufficiently to induce ac-
ceptance of offers of mediation. Even
then the position OF the United States
will not be one of making trying to
make terms for one side or the other
1t Is evident. from official informa-
ton, that official talk of cessation
of hostilities is certain to grow less
and less until some great happening
furnishes an opening for the accept
ance of mediation.

BOYS AND GIRLS
RETURN TO BOOKS
Public Schools of Washington
Reopen With Enrolment of
More Than $4,000.
READY TO RESUME WORK
IN ALL DEPARTMENTS
Pupils Eager to Renew Pursuit of
Knowledge-Supt. Thurston's
Program Outlined.

Public schools of Washington today
opened for the ensuing year. more than
fifty thousand youngsters trooping in
to the buildings in all parts of the
District at O'Clock this morning. To-
Gay is the second happiest day in the
entire school year for the boys and
grls-the happiest being the closing
day, for children get tired of vacation
Just as they do of studies and classes.
The words of Shakespeare about the
boy creeping snail-like toward his
school were greatly discounted today
The children who had formerly attend
ed were quite glad to renew old ac-
uuaintances. Those who are entering
for the first time were anxious to see
just what school is like-that place
which occupies so much of the conVer-
sation of their little playmates.
At many of the buildings children
were On hand as early as O'CLOCK
this morning--but of course no teacher
expects to see anything like this rec.
ord maintained during the year II
they get there before y o oclock every
body will be satisfied.
The Transformation at the several build
ings today was rather an interesting H.
indeed not wonderful sight. Yesterday
the SchoOlhouSe was deserted, Its WIN
dows staring blankly and its doors barred
tightly. Today it shook off its summer
lethargy and became veritabie bee
hive; today it lives-and smiles. Through
the windows the children may be seen
passing about the rooms in the first tasks
of the year through the doors an endless
chain of pupils, with mothers. fathers
and other relatives, pass in and out.

POOL ROOM "BROOM" FINED.
Assistant to the. Proprietor Pays $7
 for Assault

Alexander Proventus, an aide to John Tsimones, proprietor of a pool room in the Hotel Bronson building, W as fined $7 and costs for assaulting Arthur LaFlamme, by Judge James T. Meskill in police court. Thimoes was acquitted of similar charge. The assault was committed Monday night when a near-riot took place in the pool room. Both defendants were represented by Attorney M. D. Saxe.
 Chief Rawlings will give Tsimones a hearing Friday afternoon to show cause why his license should not be revoked. It has been told to the au- thorities that fighting is common thing in the place and that gambling is permitted.
 Proventus, it is alleged, is the chief trouble maker. One of the witnesses ir court today stated that Proventus keeps pool cue in the place in which he cut a notch every time he has

GOING OUTSIDE CITY
 FOR ST. DEPT. HEAD
Local Man May Not Receive Posi-
 tioa Paying $l,200 Annually.

Although no definite action was taken by the board of public works at its meeting last evening, it is prob able that the board will go outside New Britain to secure a superinten- dent of streets The matter was dis cussed last evening and it was decid- a,ed to postpone action until Friday afternoon, when the commissioners will interview L. F. Merritt of Bridge port, who has applied for the posi- tion, $1,2O0 Job.
 Merritt is a brother-in-law of AL derman E. w. Christ. City Engineer Hall is also a brother-in- Jaw of AL defman Christ.
 Without any discussion the board decided on E. A. Mccarthy for the position of assistant city engineer at a salary of $1,40O, and M. P. O'Brien as Superintendent of sewers at sal ary of approximately $1,200 City En- gineer Hall stated that both would be satisfactory to him. Former City Engineer F. H. Oldershaw was a can didate for the position to which MT. Mccarthy was elected, Chairman Humphrey said.
 When the board took up the elec-

owned by ex-City Engineer Oldershaw be purchased for $10. He said he had no use for the rest of the office equip ment which MT. Oldershaw offered to dispose of in it's entirety for $25.
 The following monthly bills were approved: Street department, $1,- 340.55; street lighting, s2.029.s4; street improvement, $6; street sprinkling, $S07.O5; park depart ment, $12.15; subway. $16S.10; sewer maintenance, $499.13; sewer con- struction, $112.49.
 Mir. OIdershaw's Statement.
 Former Engineer Oldershaw told a Herald reporter today that the inn precision that he was a candidate for the position of assistant city engineer was incorrect.
 "I spoke to Chairman Humphrey several weeks ago when I understood that there was to be two engineers" MT. Oldershaw stated. And if I ac- cepted it was to be at the salary I was then receiving, $2,2O0. I am in business for myself now and seeking the assistant engineers position is farthest from my thoughts

tion of a superintendent of streets. City Engineer Hall spoke highly of Merritt. He produced several recom- mendations, one from the selectmen of Stamford. The suggestion of an outside man for the job was evident ly surprise to some of the com- missioners. John B. Moore wanted to know what criticism City Engineer Hall had to offer regarding the work of Joseph Scheidel, who has been in the department for ten years and who has had charge of road construction for the past year. MT. Hall replied that he had no criticism to make, but he would like to have a man who is better qualified from technical standpoint than Scheidel He did not think scheidel had kept abreast of the times and in touch with new methods Merritt, he said was a graduate of Brown university and man thoroughly conversant with the technical side of road building. He wanted a man who could attend con- ventions of road builders and thus keep in touch with any advancements made in the art.
 Tt seems strange to me that a graduate of Brown university should be willing to come to New Britain on az $1,200 job, especially if, as MT. Hall says, he is a man of such abil- ity," remarked Commissioner John Kelly. And as for conventions, it does not appear to me that a man could attend many on such a salary. It is a surprise to me to learn that there is objection to Schneider taking the position. He has been with the department for ten years and it would seem pretty hard to drop rim.''
 Well, in a private business if I were to hire a man would want one that was up-to-date and in touch with

 l But if a man had been working l for you for ten years you wouldn't l drop him, would you?" asked Com 1 missioner Kelly. You'd give him a l chance to acquaint himself with the l latest methods, wouldn't you?'' l MT. Hall explained to the board l that he was merely making a re- ] commendation. He had talked with Merritt and had been impressed by 1 his evident knowledge of the game ot road building. He had heard of, him l as an experienced road builder and knew that he had done state high way work. Mir. Hall could not en- dorse the method of road construc- tion that has been used by the de- partment in the recent past Commissioner John E. Downes said his mind was open and all he wanted was to get the best man for the money. On suggestion of Commission CT John Anderson it was decided to lay the matter on the table until Fri day when MT. Merritt will appear be- fore the board.
 Considerable time of the meeting was spent discussing program for laying semi-permanent pavement on streets. It was voted to go on a tour of inspection Friday afternoon and to advertise for bids for laying 23,OOO square yards of pavement, the bids to be in by June 2.
