To Consider Griepanc.

A threatened strike Of 10000 stu
dents IN the De WITT Clinton High
School, the High School Of Commerce
and the wadleigh High School vas
averted Yesterday. when John Whslen'
chairman Of the Committee on High
Sch coils Of the Board of Education, met
a students delegation and promised
TO consider their grievances.
The students complained that ths
heightened school day adopted in the
programme this year prevents many
boys from earning money after hours
30 that they can continue 10 60 70
school, and keeps the girls from assist
ing IN home work.
Mr.. Whalen asked the students
whether they intended 20 strike. They
all promised they would not strike,
but said they would not promise on be-
half OF other students If the school
hours we're not shortened.
Mr.. Whslen then questioned the del
ezates from the High School Of Com
morce whether they had tried TO in
duce the pupils In the elementary
schools TO strike against the Gary sys-
TEN.
az wo thought the students in the
high schools were engaging in any
seditious utterances, we would close
up all the high schools" he said. 81
think you should all help the govern
ment. Fourteen thousand OF our boys
in the high schools have answered the
call TO the colors. This reflects credit
upon our schools. Those Of you who
remain in school should do al in your
power TO help the sale Of Liberty

Captain Tunney Promoted
Head Of Police Bomb Squad
Made Inspector

Police Commissioner Woods an
nounced yesterday the promotion Of
Captain Thomas J. Tunney to the rank
of inspector. He will remain at Head
quarters in charge Of the neutrality
and the bomb squads.
Inspector Tunney fret gained promi-
hence while at Brooklyn Headquarters
as lieutenant, in charge Of detectives.
He was made head Of the bomb squad
by Commissioner Woods, and his work
was instrumental in rounding up prop
erty destroying anarchists, the most
notable of whom were those who at
tempted to blow up st. Patrick's Ca
thedral.
From the time of the break with
Germany, Inspector Tunney has d.
rected the work Of the Police Depart
ment's neutrality squad, which has Sc
riously hampered the work of German
propagandists, and it is believed that
the recent arrest of the men charged
with planting" bombs on steamships
caused Commissioner Woods TO give
him one Of the six inspectorships Gre
ated by the last Legislature.

Board Confer on Emer-
gency Methods
To Commander Piers
Vessels Now Forced to Wait
for Berths Would Take
First Vacant Space

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2,.-How 70 put
the port Of New York ON a wartime
forced draft basis and eliminate the
waste of tremendously valuable ship
time IN waiting for pier space was dis
cussed for several hours to-day be-
tween the Joint Harber Commission
of New York and New Jersey, and Sec
rotary Of War Baker, Secretary OF
Commerce Reddeld, Chairman Hurley
Of the Shipping Board, and Admiral
Benson, Of the navy.
Judge Willixm r Wilcox. chairman
Of the Joint Commission, and J. Spsn-
Ger Smith, head Of the New Jersey
Board and viee-chsirrnan Of the Joint
Commission, and julius Henry Cohen,
counsel Of the commission. represented
the local harbor interests.
The plan would lead 20 q command
eering Of privately owned piers, I'M
lesa an agreement could be reached
with the private owners that whenever
they were not being used TO capacity
they could be employed for ships not
doing business with Sne pierB owners.
II was urged by the New York har-
Dor nsn that perhaps q body, such As
the Joint Asrbor Commission. without
any real authority save the recogni-
ton by the Federnl authorities that IL
WAS doing a good work, might be the
most satisfactory solution Of the prob
lem, as better feeling might be en-
gendered among the pier and ship own
ers at submitting TO its suggestions
than by obeying the peremptory COM
mands OF q harbor master imposed by
Federal law. Judge Wilcox pointed
out that many bodies are now doing e1-
cellent Federal service without any
real legislative authority.
Secretary of War Baker said after
the conference that further confer
ence would be held in New York in
the near future between the Joint Har-
Dor Commission and representatives in
New York OF the War. Navy and Com
merce departments, and the Shipping
Board, at which a plan might be
worked out. President Wilson is un-
derstood to be interested in the project,
which was recently explained to him
by Judge Wilcox

America Must Fight
Own War, Says Colonel
Declares Assailants Of Allies
Are Traitors to United
States

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Oct 22-Thec-
dcre Roosevelt will say In an article
entitled 1.-THE Peace Of Complete Vie
tory to be published By "The Kansas
City Star" tomorrow:
at is stated in a press report from
Washington that the allies wish the
United States 10 stop sending men
abroad and use its ships for food and
munitions instead, but that the Ad-
ministrstion will not agree TO the plan
and furthermore that the Administra-
ton is determined that there shall be
no peace until Germany is completely
beaten.
az the report is correct. the Ad-
ministration is absolutely right on both
points. As TO the first point, we can
well understand. in view of the steady
U-boat campaign, how greatly the Al
lies desire food and munitions, and we
regret with bitter shame the folly OF
our government in dawdling and delay
ing for six vital months after the Ger
man note Of January 81 last before
seriously beginning the work o. build
ing big, swift cargo boats.
But this cannot alter the fact that
for the sake Of our honor and our tut
ure world usefulness we must our
selves fight and not merely hire others
10 fight for US. II we do not follow
this course, our children's heads will
be bowed with humiliation.
1--WE must now fight with all our
might on European soil beside our Al
lies, or else fear the day when we will
have 10 fight without allies beside our
burning homes. While this war lasts
the cause Of our Allies is our cause,
their defeat would be our defeat, and
whoever assails them or defends Ger
many is traitor 20 the United States.
