tdon was that he would choose the ca.
reer of an artist. But being endowed
with something Of the missionary
spirit, he took up teaching in the south
For three years he was director of mu-
sic At Lane college. Jackson. Tenn.
Under his direction the Lane College
Choral society became a great factor
at the school and in the life Of the COM
munity. Cantatas given by the stu
dents and the recitals held under their
auspices broke all previous records for
attendance.
During the season of f91O he gave
two piano recitals In Memphis, attract
ing the largest crowds Of colored peo-
pie ever assembled there to hear q sin
gle performer. He successfully ap-
peared twice In Birmingham, Ala, I'M
der the auspices Of the Inter-se club
to assist in raising money for char
table purposes. The second tour to
Birmingham included appearances at
Mason City and the Alabama State col
lege. During the last two years at
Lane he composed the Magnolia suite
and i've numbers for the piano.
The next year he was elected stimuli
taneous2y as director of music to the
Kansas City High school and the Lin
coin institute. Jefferson City, Mo. He
chose the latter place. and his work
again met with great success. Having
charge of the Lincoln institute orches-
ira. new outlet was given to his ere
alive genius, and his orchestral ar
engagements were among the most
striking and popular features of the
schools programs. The plano and voice
students being much advanced, he very
wisely devoted more time to their in
structions, sacrificing his own public
performances to his pupils advance
ment. As q result cantatas, solo re-
citals, orchestral and choral concerts
given by the students followed In
splendid succession.
His second suite, "In the Bottoms"
was success. In FIVE years Mr.. Dett
established his reputation as q success

as music director. After an interview
in Chicago with Major Robert r. Mo-
ton Of Hampton he decided to accept
the dictatorship Of the music Of the
Hampton school. Nine. f. Azaha
Hackley had given number Of dem

enthusiastic over the possibilities Of the
large student body.
At Hampton Mr. Dett's work has re-
ceived enthusiastic, almost nation wide
recognition.
His first important step was the or

held In the gymnasium Of the Hamp-

STRIKE OF PUPILS
 CONCERNS JAPAN

Tokio, Aug. 2.-Strikes of pupils against their teachers constitute a feature of modern Japan which is giving the educational authorities con- siderable concern. Previously peace full revolts of students were confined to the medical schools but lattcrly it has extended to the middle schools which correspond to the high schools of the United States. The strikes are usually due to the pupils objection to the transfer of a favorite teacher or to their dislike of new teacher. Ordinarily the incident is closed up by the temporary suspension of the stu dents. This makes them surrender as they fear dismissal which would ruin their careers in business or pro- ressional life
 A recent strike occurred in Takao- ka, northern Japan, where all the fourth and fifth year students num-

WILTON CANNOT
 BE REIMBURSED FOR TUITION BILL

Attorney General George E. Hinman gave an opinion yesterday morning to Secretary Charles D. Hine of the state board of education, answering in the negative the question whether Wilton can receive pay from the state for the tuition of it's own high school pupils. The opinion in part, follows:-
 You ask my opinion as to whether, in the case of children attending a high school located in the town of Wilton, within the limits of District No. 10, of the town of Wilton, reim- bursement for the tuition of such chill dren may be had from the state un- der the provisions of Section 2,240 of the General Statutes.
 The provisions of the General Sta tutes, together with subsequent amend ments and legislation relating to pay ment of transportation to high schools and reimbursements in part by the state, indicate that the location of .ne high school as to the town in which it is situated and the residence of the child in town in which a high school is not maintained are the facts deter initiative as to whether, as to such child, tuition shall be paIu by the town and reimbursement made by the state. A child must reside in a town in which high school is not main- tained and attend high school in an- other town to bring him within the provisions of said sections.
 I find nothing in the above men tioned special act establishing joint school district in the towns of Wilton, Bedding and Weston, which applies a different test or alters the conditions created by said provisions of the Gen. eral Statutes.
 In order to establish, as to such pay ment or reimbursement for high school tuition, a different rule, special legis lation would be necessary, as was had in the case of the Westville School district (See Special Acts of 1913, p. 1155) wherein it was provided that said Westville School district shall pay the tuition fee of any child who re- sides in said district, and who, with the necessary consent, attends high school in another town or district, and that said district be reimbursed by the state in like manner and amount as are towns under said Section 2,240 of the General Statutes
 Respectfully submitted,
 GEORGE E. AMMAN,
 Attorney General.

London, Aug. 3-"During the night we continued the work of consolidat- ing the grounds which we gained and in opening up communication trenches" says the British official statement issued today.

His fire slackened down.
 'The enemy exploded a small mine near Souchez. It caused no casualties and did little damage.

AVIATOR, AVENGING COMRADES, RUNS HIS
 MACHINE INTO FOE

Paris. Aug. s.-sergeant Charles R--, one of. the companions of Aviator De Terline who was killed July 27 while bringing down his third German aeroplane, thus describes the death of the French aviator:
 De Terline and three others of us took the air and discovered a German aeroplane. We saw it about IA miles from our lines at 8 height of 12,O0O feet.
 De Terline and Sergeant D
 engaged him first, being on about the same level. The German tried to fiy in spirals and so escape. was little above hir2 and dived so as to get be- low and to his rear. I opened fire at 30 yards.
 Tt was then the accident occurred. sergeant D. not having seen me came up at full speed on my left. I saw him coming but it was too late to avoid him. He struck me in the rear. carving away part of the balancing planes of his own machine. We both plunged down giddily. De Terline seeing us falling, thought we, had been brought down by the enemy and wished to avenge us at any price He swooped upon his adversary at full speed. crashed into him and fell with him to the ground.
 "As for me, I managed, how I don't know, to stop the engine and the ma chine gun which was still firing All the incidents of my childhood nassed before me in a flash as I dropped from 12.00O feet to 1000 feet, hanging under the motor and merely held by the strap lever, which attached me to the seat Then I managed to put over the lever, which before had resisted all my efforts, and the machine rfehted coming slowly within our lines"

Technically at War.

Much will be heard between now and election
in regard to the ruling Of Gen. Crowder to the
effect that the United States must be considered
to be at with Mexico.
OF course, the effect of this ruling, outside the
political significance that will be given it by par
tisans of Mr.. Hughes, is purely technical.
The purpose of the army authorities in appeal
ing to Gen. Crowder for ruling is obvious. I'm
der certain circumstances, members of the mil
itary arm of the government, when they commit
oenses beyond the limits of Federal reservations,
turned to the civil authorities for punish
ment Usually the offender is given over to the
custody of the military authorities after the civil
courts have assessed the penalty on the assurance
Of competent officers that the military will enforce
the penalty, unless the ofense committed is of e
particularly grave nature This is the practice
ordinarily followed in time of peace.
In state of war, the procedure is entirely
different, for then the offending soldier always is
directly and Immediately amenab1e to court-mar-
tia1
It would be the height of absurdity for an
officer of Gen. Pershings expedition to submit
any trooper under his command to the mercies
of Mexican tribunal of any sort, no matter
what the nature of the offense charged against
him. But, such is the rigidity of procedure in
the army, it was necessary for the department to
make Iullng as 10 Wnetner an Onender should
be tried by American army officers or by Mexican
civil authorities, if there be any. The ruling con-
formed to the existing necessity of the military
establishment. That's all there is to it, from the
point of view of the Democrats
However, the ruling is going to provide lot of
campaign ammunition for the Republicans.
The Democrats will emphasize the ''technical'
aspect Of the case.
The Republicans will retort that the fate of
Boyd and Adar and their troopers, slain from
ambush by the Mexicans, also must be considered
purely "technical' detail, according to the Dem
ocratic point of view.
From every angle, it seems that the Crowder
ruling unfortunately premature, from the
Democratic standpoint as was the State Depart
ment white Book" incident relative to the Lusi-
tania case, which placed Secretary Lansing in the
position of repudiating the responsibility of his
own departmental organization.
