PENSION BILL
Gets SUPPORT
OF TEACHERS
Wayne County Institute
Sends Resolution to Rep
resentatives Asking Votes
for Pending Bill.

An assemble Of 14S teachers in the
township schools OF Wayne county
went on record almost unanimously as
favoring teachers pensions and cop
les of a resolution to that effect have
been sent to Wayne county legislators.
The resolution follows:
"Resolved: That we as teachers of
the towns and townships of Wayne
county in county-township institute
assembled, favor the Teachers Retire
ment Act now before the legislature
and that we as a body, and as individ-
uals use our influence to the passage
of such a law as outlined and that cop
les Of this resolution be sent to our
representatives and to our senator in
the general assembly,.
The matter was introduced for dis
cussion in the high school section Sat
urday afternoon. Thirty-three mem
bers discussed it at length and in
structed the secretary, Vera Crome, to
draw up the resolution for presenta-
ton to the general body later in the
afternoon.
Accept Resolution.
The general body of teachers ac-
cepted the recommendation with little
discussion. James C. Starr, secretary
Of the institute prepared copies which
were sent to the legislature today.
The teachers are opposed to chang
es in the law which would make of the
teachers pension system a savings
system by which the salaries are cut
now and the money returned in later
life. The fact that large corporations.
especially railroads are pensioning
faithful employees was cited.
Members of the institute took the
stand that less preparation is required
by such employees for their life's work
than a teacher requires, higher wages
are paid, and the good of each individ-
ual to society is less than that of each
individual teacher.
Protect Trustees.
Other legislation was discussed in.
cluding a bill which has passed the
senate which will make 1t impossible
for teachers to violate contracts with
trustees for their services except at
the expiration of each school year, if
passed by the house.
This bill is similar to the Pennsylva-
mia law. According to the trustees
who are behind it, the teachers have

CHEAP BEEF PAST
SAYS U. 5. REPORT
Price Of Meat Will Increase
as Big Ranges Are Cut
Up.
reY LEASED WiRE.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Cheap beef
will never come back. according to the
report Of the department Of agricui-
ture's meat survey now nearing CON-
pletion. The report. 1t was authori-
tatively stated today, will state that
the high prices for meat are due to
the decreasing ration of meat produc'
ing animals to the number of meat.
eating consumers. The report will
express fear, 1t was stated, that
there is no remedy. With the con
slant encroachment of small farms
upon the cattle ranges, and the ad
vancing price of corn, the cost OF
producing cattle will increase rather
than decrease. Pork may not be al
fected so by the changing conditions
because the small farmers can raise
hogs, using much of the waste to feed
them.

Note to Indicate Germany to
Be Held Responsible for
Destruction of American
Bottoms.
ARE PREPARING NOTES
No Formal Steps Imminent
But Statement to Ambassa-
dor Gerard to Indicate Gov
ernment's Stand.
BY A. M. JAMESON,

STAFF Correspondent The International
News Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The United
States in the near future will make it
clear to Germany that even a possibil-
ity of an American steamship being
blown up by German torpedo is re-
garded with the gravest apprehension
by this government. according to the
views of administration officials.
The United States does not intend
to let Germany throw off the yoke Of
responsibility for the possible sinking
of an American steamship by means
of the admiralty warning. This was
made known in official circles
The fact that the Lusitania flew the
American flag going into Liverpool
has intensified the complications aris-
ing from the self-confessed difficulties
of the Germans in distinguishing be-
tween British and neutral ships.
Gerard Informed.
1t is not likely that formal pro-
test will be sent to Berlin, but CON-
munication is to be made to Ambassa-
dor Gerard stating the American po-
sltlon and 1nqulrIng further as to the
safety of passengers and crews on not
only American but other ships.
Although no official statement has
been made, it is stated from high au-
thority that the United States can not
accept the German procedure of blow
ing up merchant ships by submarines
as within the scope of civilized war
fare. 1t has no concern with the alb
stract application of this principle,
however, as it involves American
ships. There is feeling of confidence
in Washington that no American ships
will be molested by submarines, but
the action of the Lusitania in hosting
the American flag, has made them ner-
vous, as confusion and disability is
bound to result if British merchant and
passenger vessels continue this prac-
tice.
Legal authorities on both sides of
the Atlantic agree that the captain of
the Lusitania was fully within his
rights in doing this, and for that rea-
son interesting developments are ex-
pected.

BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Feb. s.
East Prussia, where Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg won his great victory
over the Russians early in the war, is
to be the scene of another great con-
flict, the opening skirmishes of which
have already been fought. While some
uneasiness has been caused by the
fact that no news of importance from
the eastern war theatre has been Civ
en- out for several days, this was ex-
planned today by st. tement that i'm
portant strategical moves had been in
progress for some time and that their
results would soon be made known.
Unofficial reports that three CORDS
had been sent to the East Prussian
front and that Emperor William had
himself gone to Koenigsberg gave rise
to the belief that the long expected
general battle in East Prussia is about
to begin.
German military experts comment
ing on this theory today declared that
the ground for the battle had been Sc
lected by the German general staff
and that the German troops would oc-
cupy the most favorable positions In
this battle
Before he went to East Prussia EN-
peror William is reported to have Wis
tied the German positions west of
Warsaw.

not been thought so large.

mier. Great Britain entered the war

THE natives seeing this instantly
