] LONDON. May ls.-Pcrsistent rumors
| were In circulation in tho lobby OF
the House OF Commons tonight that a
! coalition government was abou, TO be
, formed Cnlonist leaders held con-
I ference with Premier Asquith this af-
! ,ernoon, and II is stated that the aues-
i ,ion ot a coalition was settled.
According 10 these reports. the loca-
zion OF officers has not been finally
determined. II is rumored that A J.
Balfour. former Premier. will succeed
Winston Spencer Churchill as First
ms some other office.
All during the day there were re-
ports that the government had sud-
denly found itself confronted with
problems of momentous Importance
Announcements of the cancellation of
the Cabinet council. which had been
summoned 10 meet at noon; of the post
. ponement Of Chancellor Lloyd Georges
projected tour Of the country to stimu-
late the output Of munitions of war.
and OF approaching visits of Mr.
/ Churchill and other ministers to Mr.
Asquith, all served TO give color to
these reports.
Official information is still lacking,
I however. whether the Cabinet is con-
! sldering n coalition government, and
! some well-informed persons advise
suspension Of judgment until Premier
Asquith sees fit to take the country
into his confidence.
FISHER AND CHURCHILL
ARE NOT IN ACCORD
The Times to-day made point of
fact that Lord Fisher admiral OF the
! feet and first sea lord. has not at
tended the admiralty for the last two
days. and mentions rumors of friction
between him and Winston Churchill.
First Lord of the Admiralty.
The Daily Telegraph to-day said the
resignation of Lord Fisher is thought
proha BILE.
Editorially. the Times refers to the
reports of friction as confirming the
popular impression that the govern
ment like the nation. has reached the
restless. transitional stage.
THE government presumably is
anxious about the character of it's own
control of the war;" the Times says,
which is being subjected to wide
spread and searching criticism both in
public and private. AT present the
storm center seems to be the ad-
miralty"
The Times's editorial then refers in
general terms to the dissa tisfaction ex-
p-,ssed in many quarters with Mr..
c. urchill, who is credited with assum-
in, responsibility and overriding his
expert advisers ito a degree which
might al any time endanger the ma
tiosh safety"

Some time ago a delegate from the

on a building operation. Stopping at
the farm for water the motorist en-

aileron Is set at rising angle to the

How to help colored children In the
public schools toward a more hopeful
future than present social conditions
promise them, was discussed by edu-
Gators, welfare workers. and city Of
ficials at a conference held April % at
100 East Twenty-seoond street, by the
Public Education association.
The association recently issued a re-
port or "Colored School Children in
New York" prepared by Miss Frances
Blascoer, which. made after careful
investigation, outlines the needs of
the $4,000 Negroes in the city, and
gives specific recommendations for
improving the conditions under which
they i've. This report was the basis
of discussion at the conference.
Miss Eleanor Hope Johnson, chair
man of the committee on hygiene of
school children of the association.
says in the introduction to the report:
I'VE are constantly learning.
through the Interpretation by sympa.
thetic students of various races of inn
migrants, the several ways in which
these aliens may contribute to our ma
tional life; and each discovery, espe-
cially in the different fields of art, is
halted with JOY by constructive patri-
cts. Surely 1t is time for the Negro
To be considered in the light of a ma
tional asset and his loyalty, patience.
sympathetic kindness, and artistic
instinct be counted on as real contri.
buttons to our national welfare.
The report gives few. perhaps no,
recommendation that would not apply
to the children of other races. Where
the application Is more true in regard
to colored children it seems to be
largely because of this lack Of equal
justice In the cases of their parents.
Race weakness appears, but this could
easily be balanced by the same or
similar weakness in other races.
Given an education carefully adapted
to his needs and fair chance for EN-
ployment, the normal child of any race
will succeed, unless the burden OF
wrong home conditions lies too heavily
upon him. ANY philanthropic effort for
the encouragement or improvement Of
these children. to be successful. must
take into account their peculiar vir
tues-affection, loyalty. home-loying
spirit-not their defects. 1t is this
conclusion of the report which applies
to colored children more than to the
children OF any other race, and should
make them easier rather than harder
TO help in their climb upwards. Our
country has very real debt to pay.
and it can be paid only by helping
these children to find for themselves
the place in our nation which shall
contribute most to their own and its
deveIopment--New York Evening
Post.
