The facilities of the City School sys-
tenn have been increased to meet the
needs of the steady growing attend-'
ance and the new building which
will be occupied this fall calls for ad-'
ditional teachers. The additional
teachers makes the monthly pay roll
greater than ever before and conse-
quently a larger income must be pro-
vided. Hence the circulation Of tho
petition calling an election to vote an
increase of the special school tax by
two mills. The growth Of the school
population necessitates more school
buildings, more teachers and a larger
income for maintenance. 1t is a per-
fectly simple proposition--the schools
cannot be properly and efficiently op-
Grated without more money and the
people of Sumter, for whose benefit
the schools are maintained, are asked
by the school board to vote an addi-
tional school tax.

TUBANTIA CASE IS
STILL IN DISPUTE
Report That German Sub
marine Is to Blame Is
Losing Weight.

THE HAGUE. via London, March
20 tI:i3 p. M Nothing definite
yet has been ascertained concerning
the sinking of the steamer Tubantia,
said Minister of Marine Rambonnet to
the Associated Press representative
today, but nothing viii he left un-
done 10y our department TO try to
establish with certainty the cause of
the disaster.
"Thc ship lies with the broken area
upward. which is "A favorable circum-
stance for diving operations. The
pieces of metal found in the Tuban-
! tia's lifcboat are being carefully tested
AT the torpedo school in Amerstam.
"Thc rumors that ii has been def
initely established that they were
pieces of torpedo is unfounded."
The minister added that from the
German official communication it
was impossible to believe that the
sinking OF the steamer was done by
order of the German admiralty. II II
German submarine was the culprit
the only explanation was that the
commander exceeded his instructions
or lost his head. The minister did not
seem to regard the declaration of
the Tubantia's officers that they saw
the track of "A torpedo as absolutely
settling the question, saying that the
disturbance on the surface of the
water might conceivably have been
caused bv a submarine colliding with
