TOWNSHIP PLANS
LARGE ADDITION
TO RURAL SCHOOL

Tentative plans for the enlargement
OF Wayne township school, number IL
located on the National road, West
at the Easthaven junction have been
ordered by the advisory board.
Two rooms will be added to the
two-room building. These new rooms
are being planned so that they may
be thrown together by raising a par
tttion to make large auditorium
suitable for community gatherings
The advisory board estimated that the
addition would cost about $4,000.
Edgerton Receives Plans
Plans submitted to Trustee Edger.
ton today, however, call for an expen.
diture Of $4,000. The architect was
instructed to change the plans to cut
down erection expenses. 1t Is thought
that the advisory board would not
stand for so large an expenditure.
In the revised plan, the addition will
be planned to join directly on the rear
Of the present building. This will
eliminate the cost Of erecting one out
side wall.
At present, there are one hundred
pupils in the school. Grades from one
to six inclusive are taught. Twenty
children from the number II school
district were transferred to Garfield
this year.
Teach Advanced Grades.
1t Is the plan Of school officials
that seventh and eights grades be
taught in the township school after
the improvement is made.
There are two teachers in the school
At least one more teacher will be add
ed after the school is enlarged.
The tentative plans will probably be
submitted for approval by the advis-
ory board some time next week. Plans
for the new school building to be
erected at district number 10. Fair
view, will be considered by the board
at this time.

United States shall enter the war in
its full sense will depend on the extent
to which Germany continues the un-
lawful aggressions of her submarines.
In congressional circles. today the
suggestion was heard that the fight for
organization Of the house be deferred
pending action by congress on the in-
ternational crisis. The senate already
has organized and will be ready for
the business upon assembling.
Steps to put the country in a state
Of preparedness went forward rapidly
today. Most activity was in the navy
where big preparations are being made
to meet the submarine menace. Be
cause of the uncertainty as to what
part the army may take, plans for that
arm Of the military service are not
quite SO definite. although steps to
meeting varying contingencies have
been formulated.

FRENCH TROOPERS engage
MAIN BODY OF ENEMY FORCE

Disc, bu in this line the French have
driven great wedge directly in front
of La Fere and reaching to within two
miles Of that important town. On this
wedge is based the hope of the French
critics that General Nivelle has out
maneuvered Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg and that La Fere Is doomed
and with it the whole Of the famous
Hindenburg line.
Paris believes that the extraordinary
speed with which the English have
advanced has disconnected the Ger
man plans and renders probable con-
tinuation of the retirement to the Bel
gian frontier.
The official Berlin reports throw no
light on the situation but it seems GER
tain that a few days or even hours
must decide the fate of La Fere.
