TURKS UNABLE TO
STAND The COLD
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED IN
THE LEBANON MOUNTAINS IN
PALESTINE.
(By Associated Press.)

CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 3.-The suffer-
ing of the Turkish soldiers in the Le-
banon mountains of Palestine have
been so severe, owing to the eXcep-
tional GOODNESS of the winter, that
three hundred and fifty deaths from
exposure were reported up to Deem
Der %. Fighting between the Turkish
troops and the natives has occurred at
several points.
A considerable number of Turkish
soldiers were killed at Beersheba re-
Gently bysBedouin tribesmen. The
Turks, it is said, had ordered a ship
ment of 500 camels from the sheiks Of
the tribe, promising to pay $50 on each
delivery. When the camels arrived,
the Turkish commander offered $3.50
for the lot The indignant tribesmen
thereupon broke into the Turkish
arsenal, seized weapons and ammuni-
ton and fed into the desert with the
camels. Soldiers who were sent out to
bring them back were disastrousIy de-
feated. The Bedouins escaped.

SUBMARINES LYING
 IN ZONE OF TRAVEL

New York, May 7.-The presence of German submarines off the southern coast of Ireland and along the line of travel the Lusitania would follow in going to Liverpool was made known in a despatch from Glasgow last night, which recited that the British steamer Cherbury had been torpedoed in the Atlantic ocean off the Irish coast. This was on April f29. Two other vessels were sent to the bottom more recent =ly, the Centurion and the Candidate. Just where these ships were attacked destination led to the belief that one or more German submarines had been operating in the lines of trans-Atlan- tic travel. It may be that they were waiting for the Lusitania and in the meanwhile attacked such other ~ves- sels as came. within their range.
 The Lusitania was a product of the race for speed which was carried on for years among transatlantic steam ship companies, particularly of Eng land and Germany. When the Lusi- tania was launched she was the won der of the maritime world. Her mas tery of the sea, from the standpoint of speed, was undisputed.

plaint of Robert Brandt, who said he wanted an explanation. of the demerit system in the schools, had been ad- Justed by william B. Kelsey, superin- tendent of schools. MT. Kelsey wouldn't say in what manner it would be ad- justed.
 Asked if the manner of settlement of the negro boys case was the taxpay- CTS business, Dr. CogsweH replied in the negative.
 Two secret sessions of the board were held. One was before the reg ular meeting and another afterward. In the regular, melting nothing was mentioned of the complaints against teachers, until, some of the taxpayers demanded to know what has been
 tThe taxpayers present kept qles- tioning the school board for three hours. The burden of their questions was why sthere is no publicity to the school boards doings, why complaints have been ignored and why the teach CT is allowed to select her own method of punishing children.
 Superin tendent Kelsey received many verbal WaHops, not alone from the taxpayers but from Mrs. Rosamnuda Winton, a, member of the school board. She demanded an apology from him for some statements he had made re- fitting assertions of hers. She further told him he could not be relied upon and that he backs out of everything put up to him.
 | pr. Cogswell's temerity in regard to the Angel Gabriel was not shared by Mrs Winton- "Tm opposed to whip ping children with sticksY' she de- elared.
 Later when the burden of the tax payers woes became impressed upon i the board, she declared: eff the rest of this board is going to stand for these things, I'm not.''
 pr. Cogswell and Secretary PniIo Ravens explained the boards side of the eases. They said the pupils in- volved were unru1y children and had to be whipped, for Hthe sake of disei- pline. They said tfk board will up- hold the teachers in every case as they are faithful and conscientious. One of | the members explained that a spirit o1 unruliness has grown up among Strat- ford children, so that they dare teach CTS to discipline them, knowing the pa rents will uphold them.
 In regard to the negro boy, MT. Fair child said he had heard that night that the boy had slapped a baby, lying in g carriage in the face and the chfIdss

 the. attitude of the school board is on corporal punishment and sDr Cogswell explained.
 Some politicians in stratford were pleased this morning when they heard that Dr. Cogswel had announced he wouldn't serve any more on the school board. They said they have been try ing to oust him for a. long time and his voluntary withdrawal, they said, will be a source of great pleasure. Dr. Gogswel1-and George A. Fair child both said last night that they'd q never serve again on the board, after citizens had gril1ed thebody. for three hours, demanding an explanation of ! the corporal punishment that has been meted out to children in the public schools of S'tratford.

 The complaint Of Joseph Derby that his report that his child had been beaten with a trowel, his head slam

One daugh- l ter, he said, was waiting for him to come home from work, and a. teacher ordered her from the curb where she was standing and told her to go on the other side.

 Dr. Cogswen was the butt of the at tacks all the evening. He ducked and the verbal wallops with skill. Every once in while, when he began to get nervous, he would broach a little wit ticism and make the questioper forget his question temporarily. Finally he became wrought up, and said he had been insulted for 20 years. He de- clared he would never serve again on the board.
 Politicians have circulated mali cious stories to make noise that will cover up their own diabolica1 work, g he declared. .aThe school board has been a political, football He said politicians are familiar with the fact that the school board handles a good deal of money and they are sorry they can't get at it.
