WITH GUNS ON DECK

New York, Feb. 24,-The Giuseppe
Verdi, the Italian liner who arrival
here January with two naval guns
mounted on her deck opened the ques-
ton with the state department of
armed merchantmen, arrived here to-
day on her return trip from Genoa.
The two guns were still conspicuous.
The Verdi brought 1870 Storage

were the families of Italians resident
in this country and a number of Ital-
ian reservists returning to their
homes here after serving with the

of Zeppelin LILO

London, Feb. PA bottle has
been picked up from the sea contain
ing last messages from the COM
mander Of Zeppelin LILO, which was
wrecked in the North sea, and adj
dressed to the commanders parents,
wife and little son. the last of the
messages stated that the airship had
dropped and the crew was drowning,
says a Reuter- dispatch from Copen-
hagen.
The yacht Stella picked up the bot
tie containing the messages from
Commander Uhle near Gothenburg.
Four letters were found, two address
ed to the parents of the Zeppelin
commander, and one each to his wife
and child The letters were written
at successive periods. The third
states that the airship was then 100
metres above the water, that the mo-
tors had failed to act and that all
were expecting at any moment to
drop. The fourth letter states that
the airship had dropped and the crew
was drowning.
The Liz was wrecked in the North
sea shortly after the Zeppelin raid
over England on January 81. 1t is
believed TO have been one of the Yep
pelins which took part in the raid,
having been damaged either by Brit
ish anti-aircraft guns or by Dutch
coast defense guns which fired on a
dirigible that flew over Dutch terri
tory at low altitude.
The captain of the British trawler
King Stephen reported he had en-
countered the Liz in sinking condi-
ton in the North sea but did not at
tempt to rescue the Germans as they
outnumbered his crew.

STONE SOUNDS WARNING.
Chairman Stone of the foreign re-
lations committee, who was said to
have privately told his colleagues he
would not stand against action of
the majority, issued a statement coun-
selling against any congressional ac-
ton until diplomatic negotiations by
the president were exhausted.
In the house the agitation appar-
emily did not move forward, although
its leaders declared no retreat was
being made. It's supporters were rep
resented as willing to giveSt presi-
dent time to further consider the<situ-
alton before seeking to force action.
Representative Helm, one of the,
acknowledged spokesman for the
president in the situation, said an in
formal canvass convinced him there
was no chance for such resolution
to pass the house. In the event of
its threatened passage, he said he
would suggest inviting the president
to address congress in executive ses-
sion.

q partial concession to the proponents
Of action by asking the state depart
ment to submit evidences of orders to
British merchant vessels regarding
armament and war on submarines.
This Withdrew support from Represen-
tative McLemore's resolution, which
in addition to warming Americans to
avoid armed ships, contained re-
quest for such papers. Support then
turned to Representative Fosters res
olution which would only authorize
the president to warn Americans off
armed ships. Mr.. Foster said he
would not attempt to introduce it to-
day.
President Wilson's opposition to
any action by congress at this time
was unchanged.
Reports that political influence or
the views of Former Secretary Bryan
who quit the cabinet on the armed
ship issue, were concerned in the agi-
tation were denied by those who ia

Points to Danger Of Politics
Hampering Education in
District.
SAYS DOMINANT PARTY
WOULD WANT CONTROL
Denies Statements That Present
Board Handles Large Sums With
out Making Any Report.

The first thing done by Henry P. Blair.
president of the board of education. on
taking the stand before the Lloyd sub
committee yesterday afternoon was to
upset the fiat statement of Corporation
Counsel Syme earlier in the day that
no power on earth seemed to be able
to draw a report on school subjects
from the board of education. Mr.. Blair
gave the dates and circumstances of
several reports. and pointed out that
the most recent report was made part
of the Commissioners report to Con-
gress.
He gave~a long explanation of the
difficulties confronting the board on
two reports between 1911 and 1913 and
the delay incident to DIR. Davidson's
long study of a possible new school
accounting system. BY stating that the
only member of the board of Commits
Sioners who has been in office two and
a half years is Mr.. Newman he vitiated
the statement that the Commissioners
had given two and half years of study
to the proposed school change.

Mr.. Blair's Argument.

Concerning the proposed changes and
the bill itself. Mr.. Blair said:
Not by way of controversy, but by
way of fact, 1 desire further to say
that this proposed amendment has now
three times been put forward and each
time in a different form and each time
involving something that is discovered
in the course of debate and criticism
to have been omitted which is confess
eddy vital to the good administration
of the schools. And it seems to me
that those facts do not make for a
careful study of so radical change as
is proposed.
The change which is proposed here,
as will be shown by certain informal
ton which will be submitted by the
High School Teachers Association. is
in direct contravention of the admin
istration of our public school system
throughout this entire country. If
there is any one thing in the life of
the citizen that has been separate
from politics, that has been separate
from controversy. that has been placed
just as close to the people as it could
be placed, it is the public school sys-

Changed With Administrations.

TT could get into politics under the
Commissioners by the fact that they
are changed with every administra-
ton: that, although in theory our gov
eminent is a government in which
there is a civilian Commissioner be-
longing to each of the dominant parties
and an Engineer Commissioner who has
no politics and comes here by order
from the War Department-that al
though that is the theory of our gov
eminent. yet for the past six years the
civilian Commissioners have belonged
to and now belong to that party which
is dominant in national politics, and
about which there has never been any
question. But please, do not misunder-
stand me. l am not saying ] am
charging the preseh Commissioners
with politics, but i am saying that it
is open to the dominant political party
every three years to change. with the
expiration of the term, which is for
three tears only. the personnel of the
board of Commissioners: and that with
in the last six years it has worked out
in operation tthe one party excusing
ii by what the other party had done)
that the two civilian Commissioners
have been members of the dominant
national party. and they are today"
Admitting that TO be true, how could
the Commissioners, no matter what
their politics may be, put the schools
in politics any more than they could
put the police department in politics.?
questioned Representative Johnson.
There are today. and if you pass
this proposed legislation there would
be vacated under the terms of the leg
islation. even under the terms of the
third draft of it, sixteen supervisory
officers of the school system. carrying
salaries of $1,000 or better. and there
would be vacated upward of 400 posi-
tons that are not in any wise pro-
tected under the proposed legislation
and which are only protected today by
the non partisan character of the board
of education and the fact that they are
adm inistering this trust as COM
munity trust. and not as a trust with
which they are charged by reason OF
appointment"

GERMANS ADMIT
THAT BREMEN IS
PROBABLY LOST
Submarine Set Out From Bra
merhayen for America and
Should Have Reached Port
Middle of Last Month,

Washington. oct. 19.-It was admit
ted that German officials, not only
in this country but in Berlin, were
without information as to the fate OF
the Bremen. All they know is that
she set out for America from Bremer-
haven and that she should have ar
rived at an American port soon after
the middle of last month. 1t is re-
garded as doubtful that accurate in
formation concerning the fate of the
vessel will be available until after the
close of the war, if then.
The disappearance of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the Unit
ed States it was said. There ap-
neared TO be reason to expect that an
other submarine sea freighter, either
the Deutschland or some other would
reach an American port some time
within the next month
German officials in Washington DO
not believe the Bremen could have
! fallen into the hands Of the British
unless she had some accident TO her
machinery. They pointed out 'hal
unlike naval submarines, merchant
submarines avoid all localities fre-
quented by shipping and therefore are
not open to the same risks.
