"JOHN GARLAND POLLARD,
"Attorney General Of Virginia"
The request of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction for the opinion
of the Attorney General on the law
governing the election of division su-
perintendents was inspired by in
quiries coming from Petersburg,
Newport News and other points,
where candidates living outside the
division territory are preferred. The
question was raised in the State
Board of Education four years ago.
when +. B. Fitzpatrick was candi-
date for division superintendent at
Bristol. His candidacy was chal-
lenged, although there was no ques-
ton as to his. being the preferred
candidate. The Board, however, abid-
ing by the opinion Of Judge Williams,
then Attorney General, did not elect
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, but retained him as
active. if not actual, division super
intendent. When he had establish
ed residence and was qualified
voter he was formally elected.
Prior to the Fitzpatrick case, wher
Major William A. Anderson, the for
mer Attorney General, was member
of the State Board of; Education, the
Board was accustomed to elect re
gardless, of the; candidates eligibilit!
as a resident voter. Major Ander
sons opinion as to the law was obvi
ously the same as the present Attor
ney-GeneraPs. He was not calle'
upon, however, during his term il
the Attorney. General Office to give
formal opinion on the question.

London, August 1.-The situation
Is extremely critical along the
Tranco-German frontier today. 1t Is
feared that the first fighting which
will be the signal for the opening OF
, General European war, will be be-
tween the French and German troops
The border conditions have been
brought to a critical stage, due 10
German troops stopping French
trains, seizing the locomotives, and
tearing up tracks.
It is reported that detachment OF
German cavalry actually crossed the
border and entered France. This mas
;nfamed the French, although the
Germans Immediately withdrew.
Tracks were torn up and guns
placed in position at Pagny Sur Mo-
sale. Four French locomotives were
soizad at Montreaux Vieux after the
railroad tracks had been torn up
After seizing French rolling stock
and cutting the telegraph wires
Germans at Amanvillers, another
frontier town, forced the French
railway men to walk back to the''
own territory.
! Motor cars carrying tourists have
heen seized by the German troops
and their occupants sent back 20
French soil.
Large bodies Of French and Ger
man troops are now patrolling the
border. With the Germans selz'ng
French property at unguarded
points, it is feared fighting may soon
break out on the frontier.

Attorney General of Virginia AZ
firms Views of His Predecessor,
Major William A. Anderson.

Richmond, August Attorney
General John Garland Pollard yesterr-
day afternoon rendered an opinion
on the legal right of the State Board
of Education to appoint as division
superintendnts persons not legally
qualified to vote in the division ter
ritorv in which they are to be en-
ployed. The Attorney Generals
opinion reverses the opinion Of his
predecessor, Judge Samuel w. Will
liams. under which the Board has
been operating for several years.
Judge Williams held that only quail
fled voters of the territory embraced
bv division are eligible to election
as division superintendent OF
schools.
The text of Mr.. Pollard's opinion is
as follows:
"Honorable R. C. Stearnes,
superintendent Of Public lnstruc-
ton:
"Dear Sir-Referring to your III
curry, l beg to say that after full
consideration, I am of the opinion
that in the election Of division super
intendents the State Board of Edu-
cation is not confined to applicants
who are qualified voters in the dl-
vision for which the superintendent
is to be elected.
