perlence. 1S teachers or 45 per

sent school; this is an unusually
high percentage for the state.
Z. ). Brown State Inspector of
Louisiana, an expert on rural
education says in his inspection
OF the schools of St. Martin pa
rish, ''Taken as whole these
teachers compare very favOra-
bly, with those found in any
other parish; in several instances
they show remarkable skill and
ability in view of the low grade
of certificates"
STEADILY IMPROvI NG
AS the best evidence that the
school board is composed of con-
sentative bnsiness men, the fact
might be cited that a. the be-
ginning of its administration
there was a deficit of $780,
90. AS a result of business
methods and economy, without
impairing the usefulness of the
school system the debt will have
been practically wiped out by
July l, 1915, the beginning of
the next fiscal year. This has
been done without asking the
people to vote an additional tax
for the maintenance of the
schools. The revenues of the
school board from all sources
during a fiscal year amount
practically to S4O,OOO.OO and
the running of the school plan,
fully necessities the expenditure
OF that amount.

ger that the war would end in a brok.
en- Italy with Austria master once
more of Istria and Dalmatfa and OF
much present italian territory as we'll.
This argument has exercised
strong influence upon the king of
Italy. If Giolitti's prediction were to
come true, it is highly probable
revolution would follow Italys dis
memberment, and the house of Savoy
would be overthrown. The king,
| therefore risks his throne if Giolitti's
advice is not followed.
! On the other hand, the king has
been publicly warned, notably by
Guglielmo Ferrero, the famous Ital-
| ian historian, that if Italy keeps the
peace, there will be growing resent
ment after the war is over, which will
force his majesty's abdication- Fer
rero's argument is based on his belief
that large numbers of italians are non-
interventionists now solely because
they cannot see the splendid oppor-
tunity war will afford Italy to ex-
pand. After the chance has been
missed, the people will understand bet
ter and will hold the king responsible
Thus King Victor is facing a dilen-
ma. The future of his royal house is
possibly at stake: and this makes i.
certain he will give the final decision
for peace OR war himself. The fact
that he has permitted the cabinet
crisis to occur suggests, while it does
not. certify, that his majesty has de.
| cided against the risks of war.

NEW YORn, May IA. III a. M
The suddenly developed cabinet crisis
at Rome suggests the chances are now
against Italy entering the war. The
government has not felt itself strong
enough to begin hostilities and Pre-
mier Salandra has offered his resig-
nation to the king for the purpose OF
bringing pressure of public opinion to
bear in his favor.
The cabinet has apparently reached
the conclusion that promises can be
obtained from the allies sufficient to
guarantee Italy's future possession of
the eastern shores of the Adriatic.
There has developed however, q
strong objection to Italy fighting for
the Adriatic when she. can obtain ter
ritorial compensation from Austria
for remaining neutral. This diverS-
ence of views has brought. about the
ministerial resignation.
Efforts are being made to fx re-
sponsibility upon ex-Premier Giolitti
for Italy's public declaration of di-
vided councils. Signor Giolitti's posi-
ton is somewhat Hike that of Colonel
Roosevelt's during the Taft admins
tration. He has wide popularity
throughout Italy and his prestige
causes his advice to be sought fire.
quently by the king. Giolitti is op-
posed to Italy's belligerency. He be-
lieves that if Italy were to go to war
and seize Austria's Adriatic coast
line. there would be a second war of
revenge by the teutonic nations. The
ex-premier has reached the conclusion

Is NEW DECLARATION Of INDIFFERENCE
ELEMENTS THAT MAY MAKE
FOR PEACE.

Desire on Germany's part not TO
ALLEVIATE powerful neutral coun-
tries whose Influence may be need
ed at the end of the war.
Long standing friendship OF
Germany for the United States, ad-
mittedIy coneurred in by Emperor
William.
Desire not to give neutral eoun-
tries contiguous to Germany
reason for siding with Germany's
enemies.
Desire not to ALLEVIATE sympathy
and support of more than eight
million Americans Of German birth
or heritage.
Belief that by conceding justice
Of Americas position, this coun-
try's sympathy can be swung over
to the German cause.
ELEMENTS THAT MAY MAKE
FOR WAR.
Positive assertion of German
military element that the sub
marine reign Of terror Is essential
to Germany's ultimate triumph.
Possibility that reversal of the
submarine policy at Americas de.
mand could be construed as vio-
laticn OF the German national hon
orr.
Suggestions that Germany faces
annihilation anyhow unless she can
cut off the allies munltion sup
ply and belief that an additional
enemy, no matter how powerful,
would not make any real difference.
General belief throughout Ger
many that the submarine policy Is
the only answer England can un-
derstand to her starvation cam
paign.
Desire Of the military element
not to surrender policy Of terror
ism which after, all has had pow
erful moral effect on the allies.
