 It was understood today that ad- vocates of equal suffrage will re- quest the opportunity to be heard upon the question of having a plank favoring the cause.

Principal Simonds Puts Ban Upon Talking In Glass
 Rooms.

Once more the students of B: H. S. made their way through the portals of the distin guished institution this morn ing when at S:30 the session for the first semester started. The class of 1915 is expected to be the last to grad uate from the old building, as the con tractors for the new edifice have guar anteed to have it ready for the class of 1916. As is customary the principal H. D. Sinonds, welcomed the students at the assembly services, besides giv- ing a little advice regarding matters concerning obedience Of instructio and the forbidden talking in the class rooms. Any person found talking be- tween bells during the class session will have his name sent to the office and upon repetition Of the offense punishment will be meted out to him or her.
 Several changes have been made in the teaching corps. MT. Wdttstein has assumed charge of the mathematical division and MT. Hastings has been selected to take his place as teach CT of Freshman Algebra in the afternoon Miss Davis and Miss Wagner, new teachers of the morning division, and also Miss Darling and Madame Hawes will teach for three periods in the morning and a like number in the af- ternoon In the morning MT Phelan will conduct his classes in room B.

 Miss Darling's first period French class met with Mir. Sinonds in the as semblP hall during that period.
 The incoming freshmen made their way into school this morning at 11:30 to listen to a few words of advice inn parted by MT. Simonds and to deter mine whether they will go morning or afternoon.
 The picture Of the class of 1914 will shortly adorn the walls of room il. The hanging Of it has been delayed by building and the installation of the new fire escapes
 Miss Grammar conducted her third period class this moFnfng in the as 5sembly hall, as room IT was occupied.
 Now that school has started, many of the fellows are turning their thoughts to football In all probability no team will represent B. H. S. on the gridiron this season, but there is a strong Likelihood that soccer will be introduced into the athletic curriculum if interest enough warrants it.

Apparently. however, the military
party, which has increased in political
strength every year since 1870. and
which has the active and enthusiastic
support of the emperor's eldest son. the
crown prince, has swept the emperor
off his feet. He was deeply affected
and impressed by the assassination of
his intimate friend, the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, and apparently
saw in it great perils to existing insti-
tutions. The purposes of the military
party had been revealed in books like
that of General Won Bernhardrs but
no one thought them serious Germany
has three great classes: The indus
trial, which has prospered so marvel
ously since the Franco-P russian war:
the intellectual, which commands the
admiration of the world; and the Prus-
sian military. which is both militant
and reactionary, but controls the policy
of the empire. Its aims are reducing
France to a German province, and
pouring the marvellous earnings of the
French people into the military chest
and the acquisition of Holland and
Belgium. This would give to Ger
many fortified ports along the English
channel, its whole distance, and enable
Germany to dispute the control of the
channel and the mastery of the seas
1t might also be possible to carry
across the narrow belt of water a half
million of soldiers. thus fulfilling the
dream of Napoleon, to conquer Great
Britain.
