Sussex Note is Expected To
Reach State Department
Late Today.

Washington, April 12-Germany's
note regarding the Sussex and other
merchant ships which have recently
state department late today Unof-
fetal advices from Berlin said the
communication has been presented to
Ambassador Gerard and would be
started on it's way to Washington over
the cables at once.
While confidential advices from
Ambassador Gerard have stated that
the note would contain a German dis
claimer of responsibility in the Sus-
sex and other cases, officials anxious
ly await it's arrival because they real
ize that its text may have an impor-
tant bearing on Jt1e American sub
marine policy.
1t is understood that a general out
line of the future course of the Unit
ed States has been agreed upon by
decision will not be made until the
note has been received, together with
additional evidence collected by
American diplomats which is due
here tomorrow.
If a reply is sent to Berlin it is said
that it will not deal exclusively with
any one case but will cover the whole
history of Germany's submarine cam
paign from the time of the Iusitania
down to the present and will be de-
signed to preclude any extended dip
lomatic negotiations.
Col. E. M. House, close adviser of
President Wilson, is in Washington
for the fourth time since his return
from Europe. His presence here at
a time when the American policy is
about to be determined, is regarded
as significant.

Shipping Council Reports on
Steamships Palembang
and Tubantia.

Amsterdam, April 1.-THE Dutch
shipping council. which was entrusted
by the governme emit with the official
Investigation into the sinking Of the
Dutch steamships Palembang and Tu-
bantia has issued the report of it's
findings. 1T gives in great detail the
facts established by the inquiry. Re-
ferring to the Pa1enbang, the report
says:
Three explosions took place, the
Hrst at sorne distance OF a drifting
mine which was fred upon by a Brit
lsh torpedo boat destroyer After the
exp1osiofl sthei Palena SING Remained un-
damaged. The second explosion was
ID ia torpedo fred at short range
which hit the Pa1embang. This is es-
aablished beyond doubt by the unani-
Knous statements of witnesses who saw
the track of the torpedo. 1t could not
have been fired by the British torpedo
boat, because the torpedo passed some
metres in trent of the 1atter vessel. It
lis possible that the torpedo was meant
for the DESTROYER but MISSING 1t, hit
the Pa1euabang.
The third explosion also was, a
torpedo The first mate Of the steam
ship clearly saw its track approach
ting six lengths away on the starboard.
This torpedo was aimed at the Pal
eKnbang because the British torpedo
boat destroyer was then great dis
lance away.
s~The definite statements Of the
crew are Confirmed by the fact thai
no other drifting mines were obsery-
ed and the Pa1embang, at the time
of the second and third explosions
was rnotionIess and there was there
fore. no possibility Of a collision
with an anchored mine
With regard to the Tubantia, the
report says in part:
The ship was preparing to cast an
schor at 2:20 a. M. when she was hi

PROPOSE. ELECTRIC LINE BE-
TWEEN GREEN BAY & SHEB0YGAN

On Tuesday A. G.. Lingelbach, the
chief promoter Of the Green Bay and
Eastern Railway company, was in She
boygan and talked rather freely about
the enterprise. He said that the sur
vey had been completed and that early
next week the surveyors will have
completed the blue prints. The line
will run northwest OF the city and will
continue south and west OF the How
ards Grove road from quarter TO Il
half mile distant from that road until
it enters the village. From there it
will continue west to q point a quarter
OF mile east Of the Mission House.
From there it will continue in north
erly direction into Manitowoc county.
Mr.. Lingel bach said
"We will keep south and west of the
Howard's road, varying in distance
from one-fourth to a half mile away
and after entering the villages will
continue through sections n, %, ~
and u to u point one-fourth mile east
Of the Mission House. From this point
we will 70 straight north through the
town OF Herman to point 800 feet
east of School Hill and right straight
north from there to Pigeon Lake, two
and oue-half miles east OF ST. Nazianz.
a spur track will be run into st. Nazi-
anz. We will continue from this loca-
ton north to English Lake and strik-
ing Silver Creek and thence into Man
itowoc city. The route as surveyed is
an excellent one, and there is little
likelihood of changes being made.
We are meeting with great success in
our plans of financing the building OF
the road and nothing has transpired to
upset any OF our plans. 1t is remarka-
BILE that Of the entire route surveyed
the steepest grade will not exceed one
one and one.fourth per cent. We will
establish depot just north OF Seaman
avenue on Eighteenth ST., and have
fine point selected. From Sheboygan

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G. w. Meisnest.)
4S9 RURAL SCHOOLS
ENROLL TEN OR LESS.

| Out of $500 rural schools in the
state of Wisconsin, 60 enroll five or
fewer pupils; 429 enroll from six to
ten pupils, and l,S6S schools enroll
between eleven and twenty pupils
| This means total of 2,35I rural
schools, or 36& of the total number
in the state enrolling twenty or fewer
pupils. (The number $500 is not
complete, as few counties failed to
report this matter.)
What an argument this fact sup
plies for consolidation Two schools
nearby are each hiring teacher Of
| educational attainments far from the
highest, at a salary Of, say $40. One
Of the schools enrolls seven pupils;
the other school has an enrolment Of
twenty-one or so. II these schools
could combine much better teacher
could be hired and the result would
be larger number of children receiy-
ing effective, teaching instead of two
schools duplicating each others eff
forts with poorly paid, poorly equipped
teachers.
In the same way larger schools
may proftabIy combine. There are
290 schools in the state enrolling over
fifty pupils. If two of these could
combine with the same number of
teachers but with the grades split up
SO that one teacher had the lower
grades and the other the higher, how
much more attention could be paid to
each OF the grades instead Of the out.
worn plan by which the rural teacher
must give ten minutes to the second
grade fifteen minutes to the third
| grade, and so on throughout the sys-
TEN, making great number OF
classes, none of which receive sulfi-
cient time to accomplish the school
work efficiently.
