Quite an imposition, for trustees
to close colored peoples schools
two weeks before the limit set by
law they should run. Wrong. 1t
might be good thing to recall a
case of this kind. Many years ago
a Mrs. Carrie Williams of Thomas,
w. Va, was given the school there
to teach. When she had taught
five months, the trustees closed her
school, and when she refused to
make out her term report, the Sac
rotary of the Board Of Education
made it out. / was consulted and
advised Mrs. Williams to teach out
her term. She did so and at the
end of eight months, theys re-
fused to pay her, suit for $121. 90
was entered against the Board of
Education, of Thomas, Tucker
County, w. Va. We beat them in
the lower court and when they APP
pealed it to the Supreme Court,
we beat them there. So hereafter
and wherever this is being carried
on, take warning, for hint to the
wise should be sufficient.

The End Of The Offensive?

The Overseas News agency of Germany which prac
tcally official Germany informs the world that
the greatest battle of the SOmme occurred October
9-13 Though the cables from London were working
usual had heard very little Of that five-day
gagement. As TO that, Germany offers possible ex-
plantation The French and British received terrible
drubbng, according to the agency version De
spite the utmost the allied artillery could do IN the
way of preparation, It unable TO penetrate the
dugouts, and when time for the infantry to

moved down after of charging men. cutting
the attackers shreds and piing the battlefield with
slain and wounded.
This effort, made time after time with the same
result, the Overseas News agency regards the
tentes supreme effort to effect breach IN the Ger
lines. The allies having failed IN this, the Ger
agency believes climax" Is at hand; that IS
say the allies have failed and the offensive prac
tically ended.
Hope probably inspires that belief. Germany IS not
