Lansing Receives Commun- icatiOn from Italian Am bassadOr DenOunclng the Sinking of Italian Liner as Unparalleley Outrage
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wlre1

"A.
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-Secretary Lansing personally received today from Macchi Di Cellere, the Italian ambassador q communication ad- dressed by Italy to all neutral nations, denouncing as ''an unparalleled atroc- ity" the sinking of the Italian liner An coma. with scores of neutrals and oth- CT noncombatants aboard.
 The statement recites the circum- stances of the attack, charging that without even a blank shot of warning from the attacking submarine the yes scI was shelled and that the killing and Wounding of passengers continued after the ship had stopped. No refer ence is made 10 the nationality of the submarine.
 Upon receipts of the facts a stated in Vienna the Washington government will consider whether any report of American citizens have been violated The admiralty statement which has been seen by officials here in the press, is at variance with that of Italy It declares that the Ancona attempted to escape and only after repeated shel- ling. was brought to a stop. It is further claimed by Austria that the passengers and crew were given 45 minutes to escape in small boats. and the charge that the submarine fired on the boats is denied
 While officials are disinclined to comment in view of the contrad%etory statements, the belief is that the en- tire question of the submarine war fare and the obligations of aAsubma- rine commander to see that neutrals are in a place of safety before destroy ing prize will be taken up by the United States with the Austrian gov a1Y7poap+

WOULD CUT OFF A YEAR
julius CnIis school and Col
lcSc Vacations Too Long.

No satisfactory reason can hc advanced
for three months summer vacation i'm
American colleges-espcciallv In the north
ern states, writes julius Chambers i'm
the Brooklyn Eagle.
One year could easily be Topped off the
traditional four years course hy reduc-
ing the summer vacation to a month.
or, better still, n fortnight The 1 of
life is too short for any DELAYS.
An argument advanced daring the carly
days Of collegiate education in this eouu-
try was that many students needed "a
three months interval for the purpose
OF earning money to carry them through
the rest Of the year; but teaching school
was the only employment for which most
young men SO circumstauccd were fitted.
and that avocatiou was onlv open during
the winter. If, therefore. "a vacation were
to benefit thom, it ought to have been
during the winter. when it could have
been protitably utilized.
The cry for vacations" is one con-
J stantly heard in all conventions Of teach
ers, from primary grade to ommcritus pro-
fessorship, To me il; recalls tho clerk
who watches a clock for the quitting
minute Such a clerk rarely advances.
| do not agree with the plaiut of the
average teacher that his or her hours
are excessive. Compared with almost any
other profession, the six hours tctching
and perhaps an equal number Of hours
spent at home in correcting papers writ
ten by pupils, makes only 60 hours nor
week Of five days. Compared vim tho
long hours of a newspaper reporter. six
days in the week and often .oven. this
service is tri1ing.
One months vacation for teachers and
pupils would result in much more rapid
advancement of American youth. The
boy of to-day who isn't prepared to en-
ter college at &c begins his battle nf life
woefullv handicapped as to axe if gra,l-
waited at %. Men of his own age. better
prepared, are fairly started on the race
for success in trade or the professions
before he begins.
Naturally, longer school terms would
imply increased earnings to teachers
They would be paid by the week and
the more weeks the more salary.
