SUGGESTIONS

We received very nice letter from
the editors at Highland Park High
school, through their chief Miss Dor
: Ice Richards, apologizing for the ab-
sence OF their items for the past three
weeks. and take the liberty OF quoting
from same as follows: 1--WE all or us
enjoy writing for the School Depart
'ment OF The Times for several rea-
sons. It's good training for US; It's
really enjoyable work; IT arouses
school and class spirit and commun-
ity sympathy We are duly gratefui
for these expressions of appreciation
and are quite sure all the school edi-
tors entertain similar opinions.
or course, there may be reasons, OF
which we know nothing, for staying
,out Of the School Department. but by
the logic OF all reasoning at our com
mand we fail 10 see why every school
in Detroit should not be represented
here. The benefits are manifold, both
TO the boys and girls who are on the
editorial stats and TO the schools, and
unless there Is reason beyond our
ken we expect q favorable response
very shortly TO the invitation extend
ed those schools not now represented
TO arrange for stan OF editors TO
furnish their school news.
We like the motto adopted at Samp-
son school, and from what we knew
of the principal, teachers and students
OF that school they will never become
becalmed In the absence or sailing
wind they will start breeze or their
own. Their motto is: sail on, SAIL

NOTE TO ENGLAND.
AhAerlca's Long Expected Commune
cation on Interference With Trade
OF United States Dispatchcd-Said
TO Cover the Entire Situation.

Washington. Oct. 27.-Americas
long considered protest against Brit
Ism interference with commerce be-
tween the United States and Europe
mas been dispatched to London bv
special messenger and will be present
ed by Ambassador Page at the British
foreign office next week.
1T became known today that the
nete' which is about 10000 words
long and covers exhaustively the ar
guments of the American government
on all phases of the interference with
neutral trade, was approved by the
president last Saturday and started on
Its way to London Sunday. Alexan-
der w. Kirk, third secretary of the
American embassy at Berlin, who had
returned to Washington, carrying
documents from Ambassador Gerard,
was entrusted with the mission on his
return journey to Berlin.
Until today the fact that the COM
munication had been sent had been
Kept secret, instructions having been
given to officials that no announce
ment of any kind was to be made
about it. That it contains a repeti-
ton Of arguments in the note of
March 80, which recorded the Wash
ington governments first protest
against the order in council or So
called blOckad> is admitted, but no
intimatiOn was given by officials today
as to what measures are proposed in
the event that there is no modification
of British practices.
Not only does the latest communi-
cation cover the various notes and
memorandas sent by the British
government since March 80, but it
also acknowledges and discusses the
lengthy notes that came from Great
Britain in response to the first pro-
: IT'S by the United States against in
reference with neutral trade.
1t was the note now on it's way
which Former Secretary Bryan ad-
vOcated sending at the same time the
second Lustania note was dispatched
to Berlin last June. President Will
son declined to send it at that time
because Of the fear that the United
States might be placed in the position
of bargaining for its rights with Ger
many on the basis Of the attitude to-
wards Great Britain.
AS prepared originally at the State
department the document was under
stood to be vigorious in tone and re-
pIeto with objections TO Great Brit
aims policy. No lntimarior as 10
whether the document since mas been
modified was available tonight.

Horrible Disaster I'm Massachusetts
Orphanagc.

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 2S.-Twenty
bodies of little children were recover
ed from the ST. Johns Parochial
school, which was burned this morn
ing, following a boiler explosion, which
occurred just before the two hundred
and thirty-eight boys and four hundred
and thirty-four girls began recitations
The death list will probably reach
forty.
The children were at devotional ex-
ercises when the fire started. 1t
spread SO quickly that many had to
jump from the third floor windows.
The front entrance was choked by n
heap of little bodies over which the
firemen played streams OF water to
fight back the flames. There was no
fro escapes on the building. Several
of those injured will die The roof
fell on many who were trampled down
in the panic.
The death list stands at nine known
missing and it is believed from fifteen
to twenty were buried in the ruins
when the second and third floors
| collapsed. The origin Of the fire is Il
