was seconded by Mrs. Charles O.
SethneSs. These three we're the only
members OF the committee present.
Loeb assailed the federation and
asserted his belief that the large ma
jority Of teachers would welcome the
overthrow Of this aggregation OF lady
Ia Dor sluggers. " He said the feder-
alton prOmulgates suspicion and dis
content and iEjures both discipline
and efficiency He asserted that the
federation makes large claims as TO its
membership but never shows its rOs-
ter and never accounts for its moneys
although il maintains lObbies at the
CITY hall and state capital.
Mrs. Fursman called the order
"rnOst ridiculous, worse for them than
for US" and a Joke" She said that
900 out OF the city's 1000 teachers
are members and men who would be
impossible 10 dismisse all them al

NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-Count Won
Bernstorff the German ambassador
10 the United States has telegraphed
"A request to the state department at
Washington that no action be taken
in reference 10 the sinking or the

The ambassador announced today
that he had taken this action and that
he had also wired to Sec'y of the
State Lansing a request that the state
department make his dispatch public
or that he be granted permission TO
do so.
The German government. IL is

British statements, nor any ahidavits
OF passengers on the Arabic that come
through British sources, nor from
England sympathiZers. 1t is regard
ed as possible in German diplomatic

sunk by a mine and the suggestion is
not considered improbable by German
officials that the Arabic might have
been sent to the bottom through
British instrumentality."
