Gateway to Peace
For Allies
(By United Prass.)

Washington, Aug. 15.-The great
war must go on until Germany is
ready to talk reparation, restoration
and guarantees. The United States
Government stands with its allies
in the determination to fight until
these detectives are secured.
The appeal Of Pope Benedict for
peace has made no changes in the
war aims of this country, according
to formal announcements made by
the State department. today. 1t is
declared that the American ideas
for the most part coincide with
those of the allies.
This was the situation in Govern
ment and allied circles today while
Secretary of State Lansing awaited
the coming of the formal note from
the Vatican. It reflected clearly the
determination of the American Gov
eminent to refuse the proffer of
peace as made by the Pope. Both
the United States and the allies will
reply to the Pope. England is ex-
pected to speak for the allies. The
statement of high allied diplomats
was "The Pope's peace note must
be received with Difference and care
fully considered. Continuing the
statement says: *There is no doubt
but that it is sincere and actuated
by pure and Christian motives and
under such circumstances it must
be of paramount interest to every
Christian nation.o

Married women who have husbands
to support them will not be employed
as teachers in the schools of Kenosha
after the end of the coming school
year. This was decided by the Board
Of Education at the regular meeting on
Tuesday evening, The matter was dis
cussed for more than an hour at
star chamber session. of the board
and at the close of this committee of
the whole discussion the members went
on record as being in favor of placing
the ban on women with husbands serv-
ing as teachers. It is understood that
the ruling will not in any way inter
fere with the employment of women
who have been married and who are
widowed. The placing Of the ban on
married women will affect only small
number of teachers in the schools of
Kenosha. For the most part these
women are women of high ability and
they will have no trouble securing po-
sitions in other cities. For a long time
there has been a strong movement to
bar the employment of married women
in the schools. The plan has been bit
terly opposed by leaders of women Is
organizations in The city.

Insurance Policy
Squea1ed on Hin
Sam Jacklin Taken to Milwaukee by
United States Officials When He
Failed to Register.

An insurance policy was the undoing
OF Sam Jacklin, alleged "slacker" who
was arrested on Tuesday by Secretary
Meissner Of the Police Department and
later taken to Milwaukee by a United
States marshal to answer charge of
failing to register for military service.
Jack1in lives at 522 Middle street and
when he was picked up by the police of
ficer he insisted that he was above the
age for military service. "T am thirty
two years DID," he told the official.
FWeH let s see your insurance policy, -
Meissner replied, and then Jacklin dug
down into his trunk and prodrced the
policy. This showed that he was not
yet thirty years of age. Jacklin insist
ed that the policy was in error but he
had trouble explaining just why. He
was advised that he either perjuTd him
self in his statement to the insurance
company or that he was lying about
his age now. Jacklin will probably
be released on bonds pending the action
OF the federal grand jury at its next SEES
