We are confident hat Germans are
operating the so-caiied Turkish sub

to say that the Teutonic allies are
not involved in the moral turpitude OF
the act

The fact that no one of the survivors
saw a periscope or indications of a
torpedo lends some color to the theory
that mine may have caused the
disaster
On the other hand very definite, al

made that a torpedo was the instru-
ment OF destruction.

satisfaction OF the President that Con-

Rody OF Another Lusitania Victim
Brought Home.


Washington, D. c.. Jan. A.-Word
has been received here that the body
of Captain James Blaine Miller. OF the
United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, who went down with the Lusi-
tania. has been brought to this coun-
try and buried in Fairfield Cemetery
Erie County, Pa. near his native
home. Captain Miller is believed to
have lost his life in an effort TO assist
unfortunate comrades in the water, ne
himself having been an excellent
swimmer, When he was last seen It
was just before the ship sank. He
came from his stateroom wearing a
life belt, which probably would have
saved his life 1t is believed that he
gave the belt up to someone less for
tunate
His body came ashore on the Irish
coast in July. and was buried In a
small village cemetery. The few arti-
cles found on II were preserved care
fully. so that It was possible TO iden-
tify Il fully. No effort was spared by
his family, his associates at the sur
vey. the cunard Company ana the
American and British governments to
watch for and trace the body. with
final success.
Captain Miller was the son Of
Thomas C. Miller, an attorney of Erie.
He had made rapid advancement in
the Geodetic Survey. and occupied a
position of considerable responsibility.
He was going abroad to take a special
course OF study in Scotland

Schools Too Much Feminized.

schools are too much feminized DR.,
Hugh Cabot told the congregational
ministers today.
Boys are educated under tho direc-
tion of a female teacher. whereas they
should be placed under the charge OF
"a male teacher.
Girls should he taught by women
and not by men You will find the
schools of New York too much femi-
nized. The same thing is happening
to the schools of Boston and through
out the country
"A woman does not understand a
boy. The psychology OF the boy-ns :
tnre cannot be srasped by the woman
teacher, and in precisely the same way
the girl must not come under the
teaching OF a man"
