DAUGHTER ADYO.
Gates SCHOOL REFORM
BILL.

Washington, April l3.-Miss Mar
garet Wilson, daughter of the Pres
ident, before a House committee yes
terday, advocated bill to permit the
use of District of Columbia school
houses for community forums. The
measure has aroused opposition, par
ticularly in the local school board.
I'VE are maintaining" Miss Wilson
said, that a meeting of citizens is as
important as a meeting of their repre-
sentatives and it should have the
same machinery with which to work
as Congress"
Representative Ragsdale of South
Carolina asked Miss Wilson whether
whites and negroes would be permitted
to participate in the meetings. She
said this problem would work out it.
self.
Objection to the plan on the ground
that Sunday afternoon meetings are
proposed brought this comment from
Miss Wilson:
81 do not think it is the business of
Congress, the board of education or
anybody else, to say whether we shall
meet on Sunday afternoons. The only
concern of Congress is whether these
buildings shall be used at all"

STRUGGLE FOR VERDUN SHOWS
NO SIGN or ENDING.

London, April 13.-Near Caurettes
wood, just west of the Meuse river,
another attempt to break the French
line defending Verdun was made yes
terday by the German troops. The Of
fetal communication from Paris says
the attack was repulsed
Press dispatches from Paris give
praise to the German soldiers, who
after nearly two months of the fiercest
fighting kept up the struggle with no
visible diminuition of courage and ar
dor. The French, too, sustain the
shock of battle with no evidences of
fatigue, and the struggle for Verdun
oes on with no sign of an ending.
After a winter of inactivity along
the Greek frontier, heavy fighting is
now under way, although apparently
it is still confined principally to ar
tillery actions. An unconfirmed report
from Saloniki tells of the capture of
fortified position by the German al
lies, but so far as is indicated, no
large bodies of infantry have been en-
gagged.
The latest effort of the British
forces in Mesopotamia to reach the
troops Designed at Kut-el-Amara is
said by the Turkish war office to have
cost them heavy losses. 1t is stated
that more than 5000 British dead were
counted after the battle, which, &C
cording to a previous official British
communication, occurred at Sammy
vat on the Tigris, below Kut-el-Am-
ara.
Spain is awaiting further informal
tion before deciding its course in re-
gard to the sinking of the Spanish
steamship Santanderina, with the loss
of four lives. The Santanderina is re-
ported unofficially to have been sunk
by a submarine, but Premier Roman
ones expressed himself as reluctant to
believe these reports until thorough
inquiry has been made. Meanwhile
he stated, preliminary instructions
have been telegraphed to the Spanish
in Berlin.

PLANS FLOOD BOATS TO RESCUE
PEOPLE NEAR RISEN
RIVERS.

Washington, April 13.--As a mat
ter of flood relief in the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Valleys, the United States
Coast Guard is perfccting plans for
three flood boats especially designed to
afford the greatest possible use in
times of high water. Congress will be
asked to construct these relief YES
sells. to cost $50 900 each.
They will be constructed in much the
same fashion as the early river fiat
boats They will draw only two o.
three feet of water. These boats will
be about 1875 feet long, will be equip
ped with powerful engines driving
twin screws to be set in tunnels be-
meath instead of at the stern, and
each will have four power lfeboats
on deck
The purpose of the vessels will be
not only to cruise swollen rivers saw
ing life and property, but if neces-
sary to proceed off regular water
courses and sail over inundated city
streets, picking up persons from wat
er surrounded houses, trees and high
mounds. Eeach bot will be able to
take aboard about 500 persons. Ii
Congress provides the vessels they
will be stationed at Louisville, KY
Cincinnati, Helena, Ark, and Vicks-
burg, Miss Coast Guard officials de-
calre that had such vessels been avail
able the loss of life and property
would have been much lessened.
