GILES SHOWS WAY
TO MEET EXPENSES
OF Centennial HERE

Richmonds centennial celebration
could be made self-supporting, reliev-
ing its promoters of financial worries,
All that would be necessary would
be a guarantee.
A small committee with full power
to employ director should be form
ed.
Since the city cannot back the enter
prise financially, organizations should
lend their united support.
These points were brought out by
superintendent of Schools Giles today
who regretted that efforts to hold a
centennial celebration in Richmond
had apparently fallen flat. With all
her boasted respect for historical mem
cries, he said, it was a shame Rich,
mond of all cities in the state should
not have an observance.
A nominal admission fee would
cover expenses incident to the centen
nial, he declared. On the other hand
if no admission we're charged enter
| tainments and concerts by different
organizations could raise funds suffic
| lent to insure celebration.

PARIS, April s.-Terrific fighting
took place throughout the night at
Verdun, and around the Douaumount
front, the war office announced today
The Germans are attempting to make
further progress in the Cafllette
woods, southwest of Fort Douaumount,
but counter attacks by the French ap-
pear from the latest official reports
to be throwing back the attacking
forces.
Forty-two centimeter guns are now
being used by the Germans in their
bombardment of Verdun. French
aviators are trying to learn the loca-
tion of these monster guns. BY their
capture of foothold in Caillette wood,
south OF Fort Douaumount, the Ger
mans are now less than five miles
from Verdun on the northeastern side
of the fortress.
On the west side the Germans have
evidently begun their drive against the
French positions at Hill No. 3O4, which
lies east of Haucourt and west of

PICKELL EXPLAINS
FINANCIAL SYSTEM
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Activities at the high school never
lack funds for their promotion, de-
clared Principal Pickell today, because
of the operation of the board of con-
troll, an organization of students and
teachers, elected by the student body.
The board governs expenditure of
all monies received from high school
entertainments and athletic contests.
Any high school organization turns all
proceeds in to the board, thereby re-
linquishing all right to say how the
money shall be spent.
The board then determines the uses
to which this general fund shall be
placed BY this arrangement each ac-
tivity is backed by all available funds.
Professor Seymour was brought here
with these funds. This plan has also
enabled the city to get the county

GERMANY'S REPLY
ON WASP ACTIVITY
ANxIOUSLY AWAITED

WASH1NTON, April 3.-Unless
Germany of her own motion accepts
the responsibility for the attack on the
steamer Sussex, the United States can
take no definite action for some time
to come. This was made plain todty
when state department officials de-
clared that until they had the com
plete text Of the affidavit sent by AM
bassadors Sharpe and Paige by spe-
cial messenger now en- route to the
United States on the American liner
st. Paul, 1t could not be determined
whether this country can hold Ger
many responsible. Ambassador Ger
ard has notified the state department
that he has been promised a direct
answer within day or two as to
whether a German submarine was re-
sponsible for the attack on the Sus-
sex.
