Ever since II. J. Maylam started op-

The Kreuz Zeitung says:

as contrasted with weeks. and in the
case of the British blockade not, even
months, of delay in inaugurating ne
Sotiations with other governments,
says :
The reasons Tor the acceleration

NEVADA TEACHERS ARE
REJECTING PENSIONS

The teachers pension system has
developed an unusual amount of labor
and is keeping extra employees busy.
There are about GOO teachers in the
state and 40 far returns have been re.
ceived from fewer than 100. The
time expired, under the statute, on
August 81, in which to accept or re.
ject the act, but the Attorney General
has held that this date was intended
to be merely advisory, because on that
date many OF the teachers had not
been employed and many were out OF
the state on vacation. About 200 re-
jectlons have been received up to the
present time. The board has decided
to take the money required from the
salaries Of all teachers and in case
any OF them elect to reject the act the
money will be refunded on receipt OF
forms that are being sent to all toach.
