WILL SCHOOL
 BE ERECTED?
.AST NIGHTS MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL WILL BE CONTIN-
 JED THIS EVENING

Under the head of "old business" he city council last evening took up the matter of the bids for the con ;tIuction of the school building but IS question arose as to the ability of the city to go on with the work at present the councilmen could not lgree and the meeting will be con tinued this evening so that commit tee may report on certain financial phases of the city's standing.
 Some time ago bids were called for md these bids were taken up but a peculiar irregularity occurred in the reading of the bids which caused the matter to be laid over. Immediately after having laid it over some mem- Jers of the council are said to have suddenly discovered that the city is not financially in a position to go on with the work of building. On this rlcstion Councilman Chamberln last night expressed himself warmly and after a clear and vigorous speech he vas warmly applauded by a large au- dience.
 He openly suggested that there was some hidden reason for the change of front on the part of the council with respect to the building of the school and he seemed to be able to clearly prove that the contention of the op- oonents of the building were not well founded. A report of the treasurer Lad been secured before the meeting which went to show that the financial condition of the city was not as strong af it ought to be when such a work

NOTES OF THE WAR

Seward has been provided with all the chief by the Associated Press but reading tremendous number of exchanges reveals facts which not noted at first.
 It is learned that the British government so closely maintained it's censorship that the English people did not know that the British soldiers had been engaged in battle until wounded soldiers were taken back to England.
 The New York Sun prophesied that the Germans would not offer much opposition to the Russians in East Prussia until the Russians close to the great line of forts which cross the country on the VisuIa river.
 When the British cruiser AmphOn was sunk by a Ger mine in the North Sea 136 British sailors last their lives. Most of the others were badly burned.
 The New York Herald, which first published the story about the sinking of 41 British warshps repeated the
