SCHOOL BOARD To
MEET ON MARCH 8


The regular meeting of the board
of public instruction will be held
Thursday night, when it is probable
that the amended petitions for a spe-
cial tax district election will be pre-
scented. The petitions were presented
at the last regular meeting in Feb
ruary, but upon being checked were
found to lack 200 names.
These names have been secured by
a second effort of the promoters, and
it is expected that no difficulty VIII
be met in calling the election this
time. No other business of particu-
lar Importance is expected to come
up.

ANTI-AMERIcAN ALLIANCE.

The United States would feel surer
about the intentions of Mexico and
Japan regarding this country, had their
highest officials Immediately repudi-
ated the charge; as it is the faint denial of
the Mexican Subsecretary for Foreign AT
fairs, and the declaration of Japanese
Charge d'Affaires Otha that he had not
been approached with any proposition of
triple alliance against America are hardly
more reassuring than the innocence, both
childlike and bland, with which German
Minister Won Eckhardt, ndddleman of the
intrigue, disclaims all knowledge of his Of
fetal instructions.
lnasmuch as the plot was exposed before
it could be contaminated, it is extremely
improbable that the matter had been
brought to the attention of the Japanese
Charge. But what about the Japanese
government? Is it reasonable to suppose
that the kaiser would trust the coaxing of
great nation to his banners, to a third
nation, and one so insignificant from an
international standpoint? That he would
conduct negotiations of such tremendous
import through a minor officitl, and not
begin them until the need was immediate
The thing is too Supplying for discussion.
Japan, if she was fxable, was fixed by
German agents, not Mexican; in Toxic,
not Mexico City; that Carranza was to ap-
proach the Japanese charge was either
intended as a signal or as a subtle fattery
to the venerable one
| London in the meantime has expressed
confidence in Japan's holding fast to treaty
obligations; and Secretary Lansing has is
sued statement saying he does not be-
lieve Japan had cognizance of the plot. It
is to be hoped, of course, that both are
true, but Secretary Lansing's belief is not
knowledge, and his utterance at the best is
merely diplomatic" Nations are not &C
customed to advertise their secret inten-
tions-the first that Russia knew of Ia

SOME REPUBLICANS QUESTION M'ADOO
 ON LOAN ID ALLIES

Washington, August 2S.-Threats of some republican members of the House to oppose further appropria- tions for allied loans unless they were enlightened regarding details of the transfer of moneys already authorized caused their leaders on the ways and means committee to question Secretary McAdoo on this point today for more than three hours behind closed com mittee room doors.
 The leaders then emerged smiling and expressed satisfaction with the secretarys frankness, though still con : tending that greater assurances or money being spent in the United States should be required.
 NEfforts were being made tonight by some of the committeeman to induce Democratic Leader Kitchin to call oth . CTS before the committee to testify regarding the transfer of the moneys. It was considered probable, however, that this would not be done as it might prevent passage of the new bond issue bill this week.

COMMITTEE WORKS LATE INTO NIGHT
 ON WHEAT PRICES
It Is Thought Figure to Be Named Will Be Between $2 and S2.30 Per
 Bushel

Washington, August 2S.-Members of the committee appointed by Presi- dent Wilson to fix price for the 1917 wheat crop were voting on a price at late hour tonight It was under stood they had agreed to come to a conclusion before the session ended. The price probably will be announced early tomorrow. It Is generally con : ceded that the price will be between s2 and $2.So.
 The basic price fixed will be for No 1 northern wheat, or its equiva- lent. The prices for other grades and classes will be left to the food ad : ministration, which will work out a scale within the next few days.
 It was decided before the final meet ing began tonight to require three fourths vote to set a price. Repre- sentatives of grain producing inter- ests have contended for a high price because of the short crop.
 The duties of the committee, 1t has been understood, will end with the fixing of a wheat price, but it is sug sested that the committee may be asked to recommend to the food ad- ministration fair prices for other commodities on which producer and the food administration cannot agree. The price fixing committee, headed by pr. H. A. Garfield, president of Will Hams college. includes 12 members representing both producers and the public. It has received suggestions from many quarters.

DOoN OF HOHENZOLLERN

As one official expressed it. the Pres idents response, reflecting as it does the views of the entente allies, sounds the doom of Honhenzollernism and military domination of peoples. That this can and should be accomplished without the de- struction of the German people is one of the striking expressions in the Presidents note, when he expressly disclaims any in tent to seek punitive damages and the dismemberment of empires or even the punishment of the central powers after the war by gigantic economic combina- tions against them.

The radical difference that appears to exist between the pope and the President touches this very matter of stable and enduring peace.
