Conflict

London, Dec. 14.--England took steps
today for further financing of the war
and to provide more men for the bat
tie fronts.
With announcement of Germany 3
peace proposals only 4s hours old, the
LloydGeorge government made its
formal appearance in the house of conf
lor Of the exchequer, asked for new
vote of credit of $1,94S,000,0 ,00O
In addition supplementary estimate
was issued providing for an addition of
one million men of all ranks for tho
army, raising the total estimate for the
year to 100000.
The new chancellor of the exchsgueR
announced that, with the new vote of
credit, the war to date win have cost
England the staggering total of $1S,
759, 100000 by the end of the present
fiscal year. England is spending APP
proximately $27,907700 q day in her
warfare now.
On announcing these new plans for
future conduct of the war, B0nar Law
took occasion to assert that so far no
peace proposals have yet reached the
government.
One other hint Of far reaching re-
forms contemplated by the Lloyd
George government was given in Bonar
Laws statement that creation of two
new ministers-of food and labor-were
contemplated. He explained to the
house of comomns that David Lloyd
George, the new premier, was under
Doctors orders not to see visitors now,
not having recovered from his illness.
The other feature of today's note
worthy session of the commons was ans
wering the queries by Lord Robert &C.
ell, new minister of blockade, asserting
that it was the new governments in
tention to enforce rights of belligerents
with as little irksomeness to neutTals
as possible. He also announced that the
cabinet was hurrying to formulate de-
mands on Greece with view to clear
ing up the situation there.

The text of Germany's note follows:
Belgian unemployment for consider
able time has been extending in per-

has been caused by the English policy
of isolation which cut off Belgian in

this measure almost half of the Belgian

Patrons Meeting

Nearly every adult is a patron of
some school. One does not neces-
sarily have to be a parent and have
children to be educated before being
patron of the school in ones nei-
ghborhood. Everyone should take a
keen interest in the schoolhouse in
his section, and do everything in his
power to encourage the teacher who
tolls daily that the scholars may be
trained to become good citizens.
The Home and School League has
held very successful meeting at the
Cambridge High School, and also at
the Academy. The parents and pa
irons Of these schools have shown
their desire to keep in touch with
modern methods of teaching by at
tending the meetings and expressing
their intention to cooperate with the
teachers.
When parents, patrons, teachers
and scholars form partnership it
will result in greater gain for the
students. When lack of sympathy
exists between scholar and teacher,
neither can work advantageously.
When parents do not understand the
work being done by the children, it
is impossible for them to know just
how much time should be spent in
the preparation of their lessons.
When teachers and parents disagree
on school problems, the child is in
variably the loser. But when pa
rents. teachers and scholars form a
combination to work, it will no
doubt result In the placing Of the
public schools of the town on a
higher plane, and it will mean the
education of more boys and girls, for
it will eliminate the little misunder-
standings which sometimes exist be-
tween the school and the home.
