Invitation to Hep in Work.

Miss Florence s. Farley, principal Of
the Grover Cleveland School and secre-
tary Of the Grover Cleveland Forum,
gave out statement last evening in
defense OF Prof. E. J. Ward. who is
one Of the chief promoters Of the forum
idea In the District. The statement fol-
lowed the expressed opposition to Prof.
Ward and the forum idea which was
made at the meeting on Monday night
Of the West End Citizens Association.
President Mark F. Finley, Of that as
ISOLATION, stated that from conversations
he had overheard. Prof Ward appeared
to be promoting himself more than any
other object
Miss Frairley stated that Prof Ward
splendid cooperation in bringing the
unused resources Of the public schools
to Vhe attention Of the citizens Of the
District and his help in framing q meas
ure for developing these resources, came
about as a result Of the joint request
Of Miss Cecil b. Norton. a teacher In
the Grover Cleveland School, and my
self for assistance in getting the men
and women, as vel as the young people,
to make use Of the Grover Cleveland
building"
Says Ward Hesftated.
After reviewing his work in Rochester.
n. Y, which won the praise Of Justice
Hughes and other leaders Of thought, as
well as his organization Of the forum
idea in Wisconsin, Miss Fairley's stat
ment says:
When We learned that, upon the
recommendation of President Wilson.
Prof Ward was appointed TO the ma
tional service in the United States
Bureau Of Education at the beginning
OF this year, we FASTENED to ask his
help in the problem that we were try
ing to solve.
when I asked Prof. Ward 10 help
US, he pointed out what Superintendent
Thurston urges in his last report, that
in the community use Of the school
buildings we shall be handicapped
until the law is followed by the requi-
site supporting appropriations He
also said that for systematic com
munity organization the present social
center law is wholly inadequate He
hesitated, he said, about undertaking
the beginning in our neiEhborhood be .
cause the work should not be dropped
when once begun, and il might mean
a long, hard job, for no advantage
could be secured for the Grover CIeve-
land neighborhOod without establish
ing a similar opportunity for every
neighborhood in Washington.
The matter was carried to Commits
sioneT ClaNton. He recognized the i'm
portsnce Of having the community use
Of the school buildings systema ticalIy
organized at the National Capital. and
authorized Prof Wards undertaking
to help US.
4 say this, not as a defense Of Prof.
Ward. He needs no defense Nor as
an apology for the work he is doing
This is appreciated by every student
of public and educational problems
say it simply that the facts in the
matter may be understood"

ASK BRITISH FOR
ORDERS TO LINERS
State Department Seeks to
Learn Data In U.Boat Con-
troversy.

Tho State Department has asked the
British government for a copy OF the
instructions TO commanders OF mer-
chantmen regarding the use OF defen-
sive armament against submarines.
The object In this Is to compare the
orders vouched for by the British gov
eminent with the Photographic copies OF
secret orders which Germany claims
sustains the charge that British mer-
chantmen have been ordered to act Of
fehsively against submarines.
Until the British orders have been
received and compared with the evil
dencc submitted by Germany the State
Department wfll take no further steps
In the submarine and armed merchant
men controversy.
Officials believe that the British gov
eminent will be given an opportunity
to reply to the twenty German charges
that British merchant vessels had at
tackled submarines. The German memo
randum was offered In justification OF
It's attitude in regarding armed vessels
as auxiliary cruisers.
The British embassy has challenged
statements from the German ambas-
sador that the submarine warfare was
begun In retaliation for illegal British
acts.
The assertion is made that many sub
marine attacks were made before the
first order in council was issued by
Great Britain.
Unofficial advices to Washington state
that Great Britain will refuse the re-
quest OF the United States for the re-
lease OF thirty-eight German and Aus.
trian prisoners taken from the Ameri-
can steamer China. on the ground that
they were returning to Europe TO enter
the military service OF the central
powers.

Z A statement to this erect was made
To-day by Herbert d. Brown. chief OF

Mr.. Brown Is authority for the state

in q large average increase In pay OF
abe Government workers there, instead
: Similar ratings are now being insti-
iuted I'm two other departments, and
eevntually they will be extended to all
of them.
Fair Basis of Pay.
:. When civil service ratings were insti-
suited in the Postoffice Department with
,the cooperation of Postmaster General
Burleson, he prescribed that salary
sErades should be established at from
is to 30 per cent higher than for similar
grades outside of the Government en-
-ployes.
: Figuring that this was a fair basis
st has been determined to maintain It
IN all of the other departments and
bureaus.
!. Civil service efficiency ratings re-
duced the number OF positions In the
-postoffice Department. As vacancies oc-
eurred they were not filled. and IL was
not necessary to drop employees. 1t was
stated. For the positions left those en-
Ployed received the same aggregate of
Salary as was paid to a larger num-
Der of employees.
: This resulted In an appreciably higher
average salary and in actual increases
for great number of employees. Like
