CLEVELAND SCHOOL TEACHERS
HAVE LOST THEIR FIGHT.
Discharge of Leaders in Movement to
Start a Union Stands.

Columbus, o., Nov. 16.-Cleveland
school teachers today lost their fight
for reinstatement of six officers of
their union who had been discharged
by Supt. ]. NJ. P. Frederick on order Of
thRmboard of education for their activ-
ity~fn organizing the union.
The supreme court refused to renew
the suit brought by a Cleveland tax
payer in an attempt to have Mr.. Fred
erick punished for alleged contempt Of
court in discharging the teachers, al
lowing to stand the court Of appeals
decision which held that Mr.. Frederick
was justified in his action.
Nearly two years ago 1900 Cleve-
land school teachers organized the
Grade Teachers club and took steps
to affiliate with the American Fedora
tion of Labor. The board of education
then adopted a resolution requiring the
immediate discharge of any teacher

I Authorities Investigating.
The Marquis of Crewe. lord privy
seal, replied that the allegations that
successes at Loos had been missed
owing to the failure to bring up re-
serves at the right time was the sub
ject of an inquiry between the highest
authorities that could be invoked.

able to disclose the number. of the

Says ST. Davids Lacks information.
Lord HaIdaHe declared that Lord st.
Davids had launched his attack with
out adequate information
1T is true" he said, that the
country has suffered owing to the want
of an organized general staff. Never
theless, there has been evolved a gen.
eral staff of the highest order. To say
that the work of the staff is a failure
is to say something which is very far
from the truth. AS for Field Marshal
French, he is up at o'clock in the
morning"
The Marquis of Crewe said that from
| his knowledge of Field Marshal French
he thought it exceedingly unlikely that
he would submit to having persons
| forced upon his personal staff. Lord
Crewe had no hesitation in saying that

! quarters they ought not go there.

ABOLITION OF OFFICE OF
COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY
Proposed to Federal Reserve Board by
Advisory Board.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Abolition of
the office of comptroller of the cur
rency, which has direct supervision
over the operation of all national banks
was proposed today to the federal re-
serve board by the advisory council,
created by the federal reserve act to
advise the board on matters of import
ance to the reserve banking system.
The recommendation was adopted at
a meeting attended by nine of the
twelve members of the council and the
vote is understood to have been unan-
imous. Later it was discussed briefly
by the board itself, though no action
was taken.
1t is said the members of the coun-
Gil agreed that the Office of the comp
troller had been made unnecessary by
the establishment of the reserve sys-
tenn and that there was bound to be
duplication of work since examina-
tions of national banks, one of the
principal functions of the comptrollers s
office, may be conducted by agents of
the reserve board at the request of a
reserve bank. An alternative proposal
was made that if the office be not
Der banks, including national banks
should be made in the future exclu-
sively by examiners of the board.
The council recommended also
amendment of the reserve act to per-
nit member banks to subscribe to
the stock of joint branches in foreign
countries, particularly South and Cen
tral America: to permit national banks
to open branches in cities in the
United States and to permit member
banks to count federal reserve notes
as reserves. Several other suggestions
considered of minor Importance were
advanced

BRITISH PLANS TO RELIEVE
AMERICAN EXCHANGE RATE
Are Now Said to Be compIete-ofi-
ciaIs Decline to Give Them Out.

London, Nov 16, $40 p. m.-The de-
tails of the plan to secure a credit in
the United States to relieve the Amer
lean exchangeNrate, on which a COM
mittee of bankers has been working
for some time, are now said to be
complete, but the officials concerned in
the matter decline to give out any in
formation concerning it.
1T is believed, however, that the
original idea of issuing three months
bills, which might be renewed when
necessary. has abandoned and that the
credit will take the form of a loan
from banks in the United States to
banks here, starting at 90 900 900
pounds sterling ($100, ,0o0) and in
creasing to 100000 pounds sterling
($200, 900, ,000) when the operation
would be complete.
The plan has been submitted by it's
projectors to the treasury, and they
are now awaiting the treasurys guar
antee of any losses which may be in
CURED in the transaction by London
banks.
The amount of interest payable on
the credit has not yet been arranged.
1t is believed in exchange circles that
as soon as the plan is in working or
der, exchange will get back to a level
on which there iwl be comparatively
little loss to traders in remitting funds
to the United States. Cable transfers
today were firmer at 4.66 SIS.

London, Nov. 49,, $40 p. m.-Charges
Of incompetency and neglect of their
work were brought against the British
staff in France by Baron St. Davids in
the house of lords this evening, when.
he asked the government whether it's
attention had been called to- the re-
ports alleging that during the recent
fighting there had been many COM
plants as to the failure of the general
staff work.
Many Added to Staff.
Lord ST.. Davids asserted that men
had been added to the staff for no mill
tary reasons who ought to be in the
trenches, and that he had been told
that the British headquarters staff was
five or six times as large as that of
General Joffre, the French commander
in-chief. 1t had been stated. he con-
tinued. that women visited headquar-
ters in France. and he asked whether
the government defended their pres
ence there.
Neglected Duty to Play Bridge.
The people were sending their sons
to fight under the direction of men
who. he declared. were living at head
quarters in vast numbers and could
not get early to their offices because
they were up late playing bridge.
Give Men in Trenches a Chance.
'1t is about time said Lord ST.
Davids, that the men were given a
fair chance. More than once the
troops have broken the German lines,
but owing to bad staff work the whole
