GERMANY'S KNELL

Paris, Aug, French troops to-
day ON the second anniversary of the
war received messages OF cheer from
General Joffre. Lloyd-George and
President Poincare, uniting in declar-
ing that Germany's knell has been
sounded. General Joffre's message
was:
"Your third year Of war now be-
gins. For two years you have sup
ported without faltering in this i'm
placable struggle: you have defeated
all the plans Of our enemies; you
have beaten them at the Marne; you
stopped their advance along the User;
you defeated them in Artois and
Champagne whilst they were seeking
victory on the Russian plains. Fin
ally your victorious resistance dur
ling Ave months battle has broken
German efforts at verdun. Thanks
to your resistance. our allies are able
to forge the arms OF which our enc
mics today feel the weight on all
fronts. The moment approaches when
under our common impetus the Ger
man military will give way COM
lpletely. Soldiers Of France, you can
be proud Of your accomplishments.
Your determination to accomplish to
the very end makes victory certain"
President Poincare's message read
In part:
Already the allies superiority Is
apparent. Destiny's balance has had
llong oscillations. but now one side OF
the swing ceases to mount. whilst the
other descends. charged with a
weight that will never lessen. It was
the immortal glory Of verdun that
prepared the ground for common &C
tion Of the allied armies. Glory to
you, my friends, who have saved
France and will avenge insulted
rights"

PRICE Or PRINT
PAPER IS PROBEO

Washington. Aug. Increased
prices on print papers were placed
under government microscope to-
day when newspaper publishers and
representatives OF newspaper associa-
tions from all parts OF the United
States met with the federal trade COM
mission to discuss the subject.
An open hearing with the publish

mission for two purposes; To get any
Ideas publishers may have as to the
cause and justice OF the increased
price OF paper: to shos the publish

able to learn OF the facts behind the

country going over the books 10 de-
termine. II possible. what has made
print paper suddenly more expensive.
II already has been determined that
the demand for paper has shown an
immense increase. Al the hearing
will develop the Rrst report OF the
commission.
The commissions report Is expect
ed before October /.
In the meantime hundreds of
editors have written. some making
suggestions of different kinds and
values on means OF bringing about a
reduction. A number OF big news
papers have met the situation by in
creasing the price OF their street edi-
tlons.
For the most part, however, COM
munications from editors put II up To
the commission, with the hope that II
will find some means OF alleviating
the new burden attached to news
paper publication.

HUGHES ENDORSES
EQUAL SUFFRAGE

New York. Aug. Charles h.
Hughes today declared for a woman
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton In telegram sent George Suth-
erland OF Utah,
my view is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified" Hughes said in his telegram
to the Utah senator.
The telegram which evoked Hughes
declaration for federal amendment
for equal suffrage was as follows;
you win no doubt recall our con-
versation few days ago when
urged you to make public your views
with regard to the equal suffrage
federal amendment. That platform
commits the party to the principle OF
woman suffrage and recognizes the
right OF each state to determine the
question for itself. 1t Is silent upon
the subject OF the constitutional
amendment and thereby leaves every
body in the party free to determine
for himself this question, The sub
mission OF the amendment, Is desired
by many millions OF voters. and
think the day has come when con-
gress should recognize the widespread
desire by adopting the resolution OF
submission and thus enabling the
states to pass upon the question
which. without the preliminary action
Of congress, they would be prevented
| from doing. There is feeling Of In.
tense interest in all these suffrage
states in respect to your attitude and
| I think 1t most important that you,
as soon as possible. state publicly
your personal position In respect tc
the matter.
"signed) George Sutherland -
To this telegram Hughes replied:
my Dear Senator: Your telegram
has been received. In my answer tc
the notification I did not refer to the
proposed federal amendment relating
to woman's suffrage. and this was moi
mentioned in the platform. have
no objection, however, to stating my
personal views. As I said In my
speech, think It to be most desirable
that the question Of woman's suffrage
should be settled promptly. The ques-
tion is Of such nature that It should
be settled for the entire country.
My view is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified and the subject removed from
political discussion.
Very sincerely yours.

sion ON Black Tom peninsula were ex-
pectod today as u result Of q long
night conference between Prosecutor
Hudspeth and Commissioners OF Pub
lie Safety Hague OF Jersey City. Ac-
cording to these officials, at least two
presidents of railroads with Jersey
City terminals are concerned.
These officials before the expected
arrests today refused to say whether
the men would be charged with man
slaughter. Us were the three mon ar
raigned and held In $4,000 bail yes
terday. or whether they would merely
be charged with violation OF statutes
regulating shipment and storing OF
ammunition and explosives,
Prosecutor Hudspeth's proposed re-
quests for warrants follows q a4-hour
Investigation which showed that ap-
proximately two million pounds OF
explosives are handled at the Black
Tom peninsula and In the Jersey Cen
tral railroad yards nearby daily. From

ed by w. s, Topping. chief OF the
bureau OF explosives organized by the
railroads, II was also shown sss.-

shipped from this port during MAY
and that more than $3.50. 900. 900
worth OF munitions for the allies had
been shipped from here during the
twelve months ending June 30 last.
While Hudspeth's Immediate desire
is to prosecute alleged violations, his
ultimate aim Is to force munitions
makers and railroads to find some
other place than Black Tom. or. In
fact, the state OF New Jersey, rs a
shipping point, He will be backed up
by Representative Hamill, whois said
to be planning congressional action
toward prevention OF another such
series OF explosions as shook Ave

noon remained at four. The Jersey
City coroner announced a flfth death
during the night when Policeman

babies are among nine known miss

II became known today that the
loss Is almost entirely covered by In

company largely concerned. The

going, will be the sole losers as far

It is part of the game Of war that
the Deutschland should be hunted to
the death by her enemies. She is
legitimate prey, and the allies know
that the destruction Of the brave little
vessel will be step toward victory
in the clash at arms for them. Re-
gardless of where sympathies may
tend, there would be a feeling OF
horror II some day the word should
come that Capt. Koenig and his crew
were sleeping the long sleep at the
bottom OF the sea in their iron-clad
casket. The vessel has marked the
way in sub-sea freighting, and as the
first of her kind, she occupies posi-
tion in the public mind apart from

away and the tip that the vessel
would sail before night came from a
more reliable source than the usual
crop Of unconfirmed and unconfirm-
able rumors. There were also re-
l.orts from various members of the
rimmons' crew that the sailing is at
hand.
The revenue cutter Apache lay in
the Patapsco a short distance below
the Deutschland, apparently ready to
see that she had fair play on her re-
turn journey.
Rumor had it that the Deutsch-
lands sister ship, the Bremen, is due
along the Atlantic seaboard either to-
day or tomorrow, but there was no
definite information as to whether
she will dock here or in Boston.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS.

The greatest problem of the edu-
cational system Of the United States
is not the building up of the city
school and the education of the boys
and girls OF the more thickly popu-
lated centers. It is how to give the
children of the farms and of the rural
districts the advantages of the inn
proved facilities, for it has been
pretty difficult to keep the country
school at as high a plane of devel-
opment as the city school. This has
raised an unrest and has caused many
a family to leave the farm simply
that the children might have the ad-
vantages of the city schools. The
bureau Of education has undertaken
a nationwide campaign for better
rural schools, and the work being
directed by II ID Of the utmost interest
to the hundreds of country school
directors and patrons. At meet
ing held at Nashville. the presiding
oficer OF the conference spoke upon
the subject, "A More Efficient School
System" He stated that the purpose
Of this campaign for better schools
b to bring equal opportunity Of edu-
cation to every boy and girl in
America, in the country as well as in
the town As a means to this end
the commissioner pointed out the me-
cessary agencies as follows:
1. A school term Of not less than
100 days for each child.
9. A sufficient number Of teach
ers adequately prepared for their
work.
8. Consolidation Of rural schools
with an average area Of about IL
square miles for each school.
4. Teachers home and demon.
stration farm from five to fifty acres
as part Of the school property.
5. An a1l-year session adapted tc
local conditions.
8. A county library, with branch
libraries at the centers of population
with the schools used as distributing
centers.
7. Community organization, with
the school as the intellectual, indus
trial, educational and social center
8. A modern high school educa.
tion for every boy and girl in Amer
ica, in the country as well as in the
town.

A BANKING LESSON
FOR THE WOMEN

A certified check is your own
check, across the face of which the
bank has stamped the word 'certi-
fed" meaning that they guarantee
payment. When a check is certified
it is at that time charged up to your
account, and the money held out by
the bank to pay the check when it is
presented. A certified check is re-
quired where valuables or paper are
delivered in exchange for a check.
Also, they are often held to make
good certain transactions. A certi-
fled check is accepted the same as
money, and is much safer to carry.
as it is no good until endorsed. If
you should have a certified check and
later decide not to use it, do not de-
stroy the check, but take it to you
bank and deposit to to your own
credit. This is very important
