Washington, 1eD. 2S.--FeliX Dlaz,
who has been watched for several
months by department OF justice
agents because of suspected activities
in violation of American neutrality,
apparently has left the United States
for Mexico, with the intention OF
launching new revolution against
the Carranza de facto government.

General Diaz left New Orleans Fri
day for Havana. where several MeXl-
cans were understood to be waiting
for him. Theodore Dehasha, a former
governor of Vera Cruz, and General
Aurelicano Banquet, war minister
under Huerta, were reported to be
among them. x ....
4 General Diaz, a nephew Of the for.
mer Mexican president of that name,
has been absent from Mexico since
Huerta, whom he helped establish in
power, sent him abroad on diplo
matte mission.
Oaxaca, where Diaz is expected to
launch his movement, is the only
state that has held alOof during the
fighting of the past two years.
With the OaXaca forces as basis,
it is estimated that Diaz might mar
shal nearly 25,Oo0, but they would be
poorly equipped and almost without
artillery. The new movement is not
regarded by officials here as seriously
menacing Carranza's government.

Italy Will Likely Declare War on
Germany When Parliament
Reconvenes.

London, Feb. 2S-The tide Of battle
around Verdun, apparently, has not
turned in favor of either side. While
the Germans claim further advances,
the French are equally emphatic in
their assertions that they checked the
attacks of the masses of German in
fantry sent against them.
Fort DOuaumOnt has fallen to the
Germans, but it is reported to be in
ruin. Around this position the most
desperate fighting Of the battle has
been going on since Friday. Here
French counter attacks were deliver.
ed with such crushing force that
some of the German detachments
were driven back and one regiment
is almost encircled.
To the west Of this fort, in hand
to hand encounter, the French have
elected the Germans from small
redoubt which they had captured.
Throughout the entire sector Of
Verdun, except on the western bank
of the Meuse river, where the Ger
mon bombardment has slackened
somewhat, the artillery duels are Of
vast proportions.

To the southeast, the French at
Frcsnes, in the WOevret region, have

augurated an important movement in

surprise attacks, they succeeded in
entering French advance positions OF

Notwithstanding the fresh reserves

The Austrians, according to Wen

Turk Leader Killed.
Further details of the fighting be-

Ofticered by the Turks in western
Egypt, show that the leader of the
tribesmen, Muri Bey, brother of the
Turkish war minister, was killed, and
his principal subordinate wounded
and that the tribesmen left large
numbers of dead and wounded on the
field, as their main force fed.

To Name Library Board.
The city commission at its meeting
last evening canvassed the vote. II
will now be up to the board Of educa-
ton to select a library board, In
which will be vested the management
of the institution. An appropriation
has been provided in the. budget IN
anticipation of this election which be-
comes available as soon as the board
is formed.
1t is likely that a meeting OF; the
school board will be heldfS soon TO
name the board so that no time will
be lost in employing a trained hbrar-
ian to take charge Of the temporary
quarters established in the CONNER
cial club rooms. ,.s.,
This ends an agitation begun many
years ago and assures some kind Of
library for the city. There is p
strong sentiment in the city IN favor
of accepting the Carnegie offer Of =
$25, 900 building, the city to provide z
I sitE and appfopffHte RY Heart $2 $40 r

Fourth Ward Ghost.
The election yesterday went on
quietly. Library supporters were,
"ghosted" little during the after
noon by the opposition that develop
ed in the Fourth ward. This spprred
them to action. Several automobiles
were secured and for two hours be
fore the polls closed some good work
was done. A few workers in the
Fourth ward were able to turn the
day there.
Under the law, one member of the
library board must be on the school
board, and one woman must be select
ed. No names have been suggested
as yet.

HURON MAN IS 7.
F. SELECTED AS
SCHOOL HEAD
J. Maurice Martin Will Succeed
G. G. Root as Superin-
tendent.

]. Maurice Martin, superintendent
of the Huron schools, was elected yes
terday to succeed C. c. Root by the
board of education. Mr.. Martin ar
rived in the city Saturday evening
and conferred with the board mem
bers Sunday and yesterday. A spe'
cial meeting was held at the high
school yesterday morning and Mr.
Martin was selected to head the
schools at q salary Of $24OO, a slight
increase over what was paid Mr..
Root. ..
1t is said that Mr.. Root will make
the race for county superintendent
of schools to succeed c.. l.. Vigness,
who has decided to enter other educa'
tiOnal work
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1916-02-29
Makes Good impression.

Mr.. Martin met with the business
men yesterday and in the afternoon
addressed the students of the high
school. He made a very good impress
sion upon the students, as well as on
the citizens of Bismarck whom he
met.
The new superintendent of schools
is AZ years of age, married and has
one daughter. He comes very we'll
recommended.
He was born in Ohio and secured
his b. A. and M. A. degrees from
Otterbein university. He took lecture
work at Harvard university and has
Travelled extensively in Europe, where
he spent five summers in study, di-
recting his energies especially to art,
history and literature.
His experience as a teacher covers
a period OF more than 16 years. In
this time he has made few changes.
In 1906 he was superintendent OF
schools at Park City, Utah, and later
served at Hamburg, Ia; Huron, S. d.,
and other places. He has been at
Huron the last four years.
1t is probable that Mr.. Martin will
take several classes at the high
school, so that Principal Bolt will
have more time for detail work and
for the development of better school
spirit. At present practically all of
Prof. Bolts time is spent in the class
room.
