BROOKLYN TEACHERS
ASK PENSION WRIT
Demand Payment of 81, 800, 900
to Reserve.

The Pension Committee of the Teach
ers of Brooklyn has applied for writ
OF peremptory mandamus to compel the
auditor OF the Board of Education to
turn over to the pension fund Sl,5OO,-
600 which it is asserted has been UNI
lawfully withheld. The Sl,500,O0O con-
sists of the salaries of teachers who
received leaves of absence without pay.
This and further sums aggregating
S2,763,0 900, which it is alleged have
been reverting to the Board of Eduea-
ton when they should have gone TO the
pension fund, would be sufficient to res
cue the pension fund from bankruptcy.
If efforts to regain the Sl.5OO,OO0 are
successful an assault will be made on
the rest of the reserve.
The question at issue will be the
legal construction of the statute re-
curing that "ali money, pay. compen-
sation or salary forfeited. deducted,
reserved or withheld for any cause
from any member or members of the
teaching staff OF the public day schools
of the City of New York be turned into
the teachers pension fund"

Navy Without One Ma
chine Safe to Use in
Rough Weather.
MUST HAVE FAST,
POWERFUL SCOUTS
Strategic Lessons of Re-
cent ManRuvres Still To
Be Worked Out.

Washington, Aug 49, Analysing the
results of the war game completed Sat-
urday, in which an attacking force
landed at Far Rockaway thirty trans
ports strong, naval experts declared to.
day that the striking Lessons developed
were:
The need of aircraft capable of OPP
Grating in Indictment weather.
The need of fast, powerful scouts.
No report on the work of the sub
marines has yet been received. II Is
not known whether they were engaged.
Rear Admiral Helm, commanding the
defending fleet, had hotilla of thir-
teen undersea boats. IL they tried 70
sink" the enemy transports they
failed and this may affect the policy
Of submarine construction entered on
by the Daniels administration.
No a single air machine of any KIND
was used during the maneuvres. Rear
Admiral Benson, chief of naval opera
tions. said to-day that if the weather
had been fair the hydro-aeroplanes
would have been used, but that they
were unable without enormous RISK 10
alight on the surface of rough sea
The Navy Department is experiment
ing with new types Of pontoons Tor
alighting in rough weather, but Win
little success thus far.
The single dirigible which the navy
boasts has not been delivered by the
constructors, though the contract called
for delivery last October. Naval experts
insist that the eyes of modern navies
are in the air. and point to the Ell
ficient work of the Zeppelins in the
Jutland battle and in the North Sea.
They say that unless the United States
provides these modern means OF scout
ing, the American navy VIII be at
very great disadvantage.
Secretary Daniels, his critics recall
dwels repeatedly on the. greatly IN
creased appropriations for aircraft
wrung from Congress under his admin
istration, but in spite of these eXpendit-
ures the navy is unable to provide an
air scout except for fair weather.
The strategic lessons of the war game
will be worked out at the Naval war
College. Rear Admiral knight, presi-
dent OF the college, was umpire OF the
game, and is having charts and dia-
grams prepared from the records kept
on the umpire's ship, the battleship
Pennsylvania. These will be photo
graphed on lantern slides for use In
the lectures at the War College. The
records will show the position OF every
vessel engaged at any given moment
during the game.

MILK PRODUCERS
ORDER PRICE UP
If Dealers Won't Pay They
Will Sell Through
Food Official.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Albany, Aug. 2S.-Action TO force the
big milk distributing companies Of New
York City to pay the farmers their own
price for milk was taken by the direc-
tors of the Dairymen's League at
meeting here tonight. This league
represents $4,000 producers and the
owners of 10000 cows, the great ma
jority of those in this state, New Jer-
sey. PENNSYLVANIA and Connecticut.
The league is made up OF the various
local leagues. At present the Producers
sell their milk 70 the big distributing
companies. The price now is about
three and one-eighth cents a quart
The farmers hold it is impossible to
make profit at less than four ana
half or five cents a quart.
Commissioner John J. Dillon, of the
Department of Foods and Markets,
was present at the meeting to-day and
the newly elected president. Jacob ).
Brill, of Poughquag, n. Y, was di-
rected TO send out letter to all the
members of the league notifying them
that che directors had empowered the
Department of Foods and Markets ITO
act as the selling agent of the league
under the direction of the executive
committee to sell the milk at a uni
form price"
In case the big distributing com
psnies refuse to pay the price set by
the league the Commissioner will be
empowered to sell the milk himself at
retail. Mr.. Dillon said that already
his department has facilities to do
this and the league will make arrange
ments later to sell its own milk
through the department in case 1t be-
comes necessary.
The meeting was we'll attended and
all were enthusiastic in carrying out
the plan.
The proposal to carry out a milk
strike on October | was discussed
early in the meeting, but Commissioner
Dillon persuaded the directors that 1t
was not only impracticable but that
they had everything to lose and moth
ing to gain by it.

zine stand called for relief at her cash
register.
Every civilian sailor had his pockets
bullying and his arms full. and heavy
cargoes Of food were loaded on the
ships that made Them look like
freighters between decks.
The swimming pool was another
spot that attracted representatives
from every ship in the feet. Others
asked on the pier where they could
find tub and were sent TO the coast
artillery school. where they received
all the privileges Of enlisted men.
While the civilians went ashore the
lobby OF the Chamberlain resembled a
scene ut a college reunion. Men from
various ships met classmates whom
they had not seen for years. Under
graduates sat in corners counting the
days until college opened. One rookie
was particularly proud because he met
naval officer who had been his pupil
in a mathematics class.
After target practice it is probable
that the ships will return to Hamton
Roads for Sunday. The men are en-
thusiastic about coming back, and the
citizens of Hampton, Phebus and
neighboring towns are Just as pleased.
for the proverb about the way sailor
ashore spends his money holds good
with every man in the fleet.
