FIGHT STILL DRAGS

Newport News, Aug. zs.--D. A. Du-
trow, superintendent OF schools, has re-
turned to the city from his vacation
and he states that practically every
thing Is In readiness for the opening
of schools, that there will be no delay
and that schools will be opened on
September 1s, as scheduled
The two vacancies in the teaching
corps can be temporarily filled with
substitutes and the insufficient school
room can be remedied by doubling"
up the lower grades.
The Chamber Of Commerce. which
recently sought to enlist the aid OF
r.. c. Stearnes, state superintendent of
public instruction, has heard nothing
from Mr.. Stearnes. However, that
In not considered surprising, as II was
generally admitted that the State Board
OF Education could do nothing to aid
the City Council in it's fight for better
schools.
Indications are that a Joint meeting
of the City Council will be held in this
near future to consider the school sit
uation, although there is no method
by which the Council can compel the
remaining members of the board of
school trustees to resign.
Some of the counciimen are in favor
of letting the matter rest as II liz and
operate the schools during the coming
year without n board OF school trus-
tees. II Is said. that the school com
mittee of the Council might care for
the schools, although the State law
provides that the Council must name
a board of school trustees.
II the Council takes no action in the
matter and the remaining members Of
the school board stand firm In their
declaration not to resign. IL is believed
that some citizen and patron OF the
schools will secure a mandamus fror:

II Is well set forth in the concluding words
of Hon. G. G. Benedict in his book, Vermont
in the Civil War" This IL what he says:
In proportion to her population. more sons
of Vermont fell in battle. and more gave their
lives to the cause of the union than of any
other northern state. The total number of
eniistmetts 35.242 At the close Of the war
the state stood credited with surplus OF 1873
men over her quota under all calls The total pop
ulston Of Vermont at the outbreak of the
war was 5.09s. The total number Of men
subject TO military duty 60,7ia. OF her
total population, therefore. one in every ten
enlisted. or her able-bodied men Of military
age. every other one shoulder~d his mIsket
and went forth TO fight for his country.
The brilliancy and value OF the service rem
dered by the Vermont troops Is denied by no
student Of the history Of the war and impair
tisl judges admit II to he emsrksble that the
troops Of one state, who constituted but an
eightieth part Of the army. should have had

came known.
The course of this. government is not
yet made known, but all Indications are
there will be an early second note from
President Wilson; that it may go for
ward in the next As hours; that it will
restate the facts as understood by this
government, and will renew the Amer
lean demands, especially as to the Lusi-
tania.
The official text of the German reply
was given out by the state department
at noon yesterday. While it differs a
great deal in verbiage from the unofii-
cial texts as wired from Berlin, the
sense is not essentially changed. On the
whole, the official version is more diplo
matte and suave in tone than the unoffi-
cial. The official version is stronger in
respect to the assertion that the Lusi-
tania was armed with guns. The Off
cial version asserts this as "undoubt-
edly' true. The unofficial versions do
not contain this word.
No indication is given thus far that
President Wilson intends to back down.
1t looks now as if it would be up to
Germany either to yield in reasonable
measure to American demands, or to
have relations between the two countries
broken. Breaking of relations with Ger
many, it is generally felt here, would
mean war. Once relations are broken
off, Congress would be called together
and measures taken to prepare for event
ualities on a great scale
Germany has at once eyaded the real
issue raised by the United States in the
note of President Wilson, and has prsc-
tically served notice she has no intention
either of stopping submarine on mer-
chant ships or of changing her policy
that sent the Lusitania unwarned to
the bottom, and that doomed the lives |
of hundreds of n-combatants, includ
ing over hundred American men, wom-
en- and children.
Instead of meeting the demands of |
the United States with respect to the
Lusitania, the German government raises
questions of fact, takes issue with the
American understanding of the facts and
defcrs specific reply to the American de-
mands pending exchanges for the pur-
pose of arriving at an agreed agreement.
Briefly the United States has satisfied
itself that the Lusitania was an un-
armed merchant ship. Germany is rails
ing the contention that she was war
vessel.
