ELM CITY TEACHERS
 DEMAND MORE PAY
Committee Claims Occupation Does Not Pay As High Salaries As
 Women in Business Receive

New Haven March 25.-A commit tee of the Teachers League handed to the school board last night a schedule providing for increases in the compen sation for public school teachers.

Miss Mer- chant, of the committee, replied that a woman in business does not give up as much mentally and physically as a teacher, does not expend the same amount of energy in the form of enthusiasm or vitally, and does not require as much force in disciplinary power.

LIE IS PASSED IN THE RUSSIAN DUMA
Member Who Plays Jews for Al- leged Treachery HoWled Down

Petrograd, March 25.-The first days discussion in the Duma of an interpolation brought by opposition members, urging a cessation of all Ieged illegal acts against the Jews and an extension of their privileges, caused a tumult in the chamber. A speech by M. Zamys1ovsky, conserVa- tive against the adoption of the in terpellation, was continually inter- rupted by shouts from opposition, and he finally was forced to abandon
 the floor. Thereupon the entire con-
 servative faction marched out Of the
 house.
 Favorable action on the interpella-
 ton, said M. Zamyslovsky, would be
 interpreted as an act favoring Hebrewism, and the conduct of the Jews was not such as to deserve a favora ble declaration from the Duma As the speaker proceeded to bring a series of indictments against the Jews he was interrupted by cries of Its a Iie!'' and requests were made | to the president that the speaker be forced to retract his unparliamentary l language.
 | "The Hebrews are betraying us in l the war" said M. Zamyslovsky. Per l haps individual Jews have distin- l guished themselves, but the Jews as
 whole have betrayed the splendid 1 Russian army"
 | These remarks caused a storm of 1 applause and protests.
 | M. Zamyslovsky continued, char 1 acterizing the proposed interpolation l as in Insult to the army He said
 that when an army entered a village
New Britain herald., 1916-03-25

the first thing it found necessary to Co was to get rid of the Jews.
 At this point exception was taken to the speakers use of the word "Jew,' and opposition members shouted that the speaker should not be allowed to continue unless he could speak With less feeling and more decency.
 "I cannot speak quietly of Jews,' answered M. zamyslovsky, 'because they are traitors to the country, and are strong in so far as a majority of inc Imperial Duma dance to their music"
 M. Zamyslovsky held the Jews partly responsible for the present high cost of living, alleging it was caused by their speculation and swindling."
 Feeling ran high in the chamb Der and interruptions became so frequent , that it was impossible for the speaker to continue coherently. The president StrOve frantically to call the meeting to order. M. Zamyslovsky persisted in the use of the word "Jew," Where- upon one of his opponents yelled "Hooligan."
 | This member, as we'll as another 1 H-ho indulged in similar epithets, was | excluded from the Duma for twenty i four hours by the president. : The presiding officer was forced finally to request M. Zamyslovsi1y to i discontinue the speech which had 1 thrown the house into the uproar. 1 Shortly afterward the conservative ] faction left the hail. and the session ! adjourned

ALLIES REFUSE 10
 DISARM THEIR SHIPS
Reject Proposal Made by Lansing
 in Behalf Of U. 5.

Washington. March 25.--The rejec- ernments proposals of two months ago to modify international law for the benefit of humanity and the Ger man submarine campaign, has again put the submarine question squarely up to Germany. Secretary Lansing received from the entente embassies yesterday similar notes to the pro- pOsaIs made on January 1S suggest ing that they should disarm their mer-
 chant ships if Germany would agree
 to torpedo no merchant ship without warning and without providing for 1 the safety of -cOmbatantS.
 The rejection of these proposals was | fOreseen from the beginning, and par 1 ticularly so after the presidents s fight l With congress on the armed ship ques- 1 ton. It is now held at the state de- 1 partment that the rejection cOmpels l this government to uphold internation al law and recognize the right of mer- l chantmen to arm and protect them i selves against confiscation or destruc- l tion by submarines.
 1 Must Give Warning.
 1 Germany will therefore, be expect ed to give warning to all merchant l vessels, whether armed or unarmcd l If she complains that this is impos- 1 sible because of the risk of destruc- ton the departments answer is that the right to hold up merchantmen l cannot otherwise be exercised.
 Officials said that it had not been
 decided how the decision of the state
 department should be made known to
