cratic Caucus Monday.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Mobiliza-
ton OF congress and the laying Of
lines of battle for the commencement
of the fray on December 6 will begin
at the capital on Monday. The devel-
opments of the week are being
watched closely and with much keen

Opposition has arisen to the re-elec-

president protein because of his alli-
ance with the Republican filibuster
against the ship purchasing bill last

his place Senator Kern, of Indiana, the
present floor leader
This. Of course would necessitate
the finding of new leader and there
Is much perplexity among the Demo
cratic senators as to the wisest selec-
tion for this important place.
On Monday, the ways and means
committee will meet to tackle the
knotty problem of increasing the fed
eral incomes sufficiently to meet the
annual deficit and the billion dollar
defense program of the administra-
ton. The committee members seem
agreed that the best plans for raising
money are extending the scope Of the
war tax reducing exemptions and rails
ing the sur-tax under the income tax
law, and possibly taxing war profits.
One or all Of these suggestions may be
adopted.

TEuTON CRUISER
REPORTED sunk

PETROGRAD, Nov. 2S.-The Ger
man cruiser Frauenlob has been sunk
by a submarine in the Baltic sea, 40
cording to a semi-official announce
ment made here today.
The Frauenlob, which displayed q
672 tons, was a slow craft and would
have had little chance to escape from
a speedy modern submarine. The
cruiser was built in Bremen in 1902,
and carried 275 officers and men. Its
length was 328 feet.
The cruiser belonged to the same
class as the Undine. which was sunk
recently. Petrograd dispatches q few
days ago told of the destruction of an
other cruiser. These may have re-
ferred 10 the Freuenlob. but 1t was Of
ficially denied in Berlin yesterday that
any German warship had been lost OF
Libau.
Traffic over the Pennsylvania and
c. & o. railroads was heavier than II
has been on Thanksgiving day for .
number Of years. Tickets to suburb
an points sold heavily. The rush Is
accounted for by the fact that the
weather was ideal, and there were
more hunters In the field than usual on
q holiday. Large parties Of local peo-
pie spent the day with relatives and
friends In adjacent towns.

Provided the amount of the pension
II found reasonable and the people Of

Richmond board of education, members
of that body will unanimously accept
the Indiana state teachers retirement
law, according to q statement ex-
planning details Of the law, issued
from the office Of Superintendent J.
r. Giles of the city schools today.
IF the pension for the teacher At
tracts finer talent; II the prospect re-
moves anxiety and enables the teacher
to do better work; II it is really the
schools that are the final beneficiartes
of the pension law, then the people
will be getting full value for the mon
ey expended" the statement reads.
Desires Full Publicity.
Following II the statement in full:
The Richmond school board desires
that the very fullest publicity be given
to this law; not only ought members
of council to know thoroughly its pro-
visions, but all the people of the COM
munity should study them and know
exactly where they lead.
The board has not deemed It neces-
sary to use undue haste In its decision,
principally because the law does not
become operative until January, 1917;
furthermore, while the law seems very
simple on . first reading, only an autu-
ary's figures can show it in its proper
light. It has been found to be diff
cult problem to estimate the ultimate
cost to the community by the adoption
of this law. A committee of teachers
is now working with the board in an
endeavor to answer this question, and
1t is hoped that our citizens will be
patient until such Information can be,
secured.
The law covers some eighteen pages
OF q printed pamphlet, but its salient
Doints are:
First-The state declares for the
creation Of a retirement fund for pub
lie school teachers. in city and county
units
Second-This fund shall consist Of:
(a) a permanent fund to be made up
OF gifts. grants. devises and bequests
