10000 TEACHERS
OF GERMANY FIGHT
FOR THEIR COUNTRY

BERLIN, Sept. 2O.-Since the war
began about 10000 German school
masters have gone to the different
fronts. Nearly 10000 Of them were
killed or wounded during the first five
months. This exceptionally large per-
centage of losses is partl.." explained
by the fact that most Of the teachers
are non-commissioned officers or lieu
tenants and have to be at the head Of
their detachments whenever an attack
is made.
About 5000 Of the teachers have
been decorated with the iron cross
and their bravery is praised in many
official reports. General Won Einem,
the former Prussian war minister, re-
Gently wrote to a friend: The school
masters are our best soldiers. They

following resolutions:

He preached and wrote against the

was SO strong that he always helped

Wants Strong Structure.
A bridge Is to be built and we are
told It IL to be built this time to last

bridge should be built that would grace

should be q level structure, q broad
structure and an ornamental structure
like the words Of respected citi

want bridge on the level, figuratively

The bridge Is to grace a highway
which has not a peer In this great
