MANY TEACHERS
ARE IN EUROPE
American Schools and Colleges Will
Have to Postpone Opening

New York, Aug. l0.-Causing the
greatest CONSERVATION among edu-
catiOnal authorities, but great Joy
to young America, the European
war threatens to cause a postpone
ment of the opening of schools
throughout the country.
Advices received here indicate
that hundreds of American school
teachers are marooned in France,
Germany, England and other Eu-
ropean countries now in a state of
war. Those in Germany have but
small chance of getting out, posi-
bly, for months. 1t is virtually GER
tain that so long as Germany is en-
gagged in war they will not be able
to leave, except at the greatest
risk.
Colleges also report that scores of
professors are among the Americans
marooney on the Continent. Col
umbia and other New York Univer,
stiles will be seriously hampered
unless conditions in Europe soon
become more favorable.
