of The Educa-
 tfondI Club of Holbrook

The recently organized Parent.
 Teachers Assn held it's second
 meeting in H. s. Auditorium or
 Friday evening. November 10,
 at eight o'clock, and though the
 attendance was not as good as
 could be desired, there were
 enough representative people
 present to make it a meeting of
 unusual interest and promise for
 future interest in educational
 affairs.
 In the absence of the President,
 who has been very Ill. MT. Vim.
 Ferguson ably presided and put into the proceedings something
 of h1s own enthusiasm for the
 future of the school and the town. The program was short but to the point and the further perfecting of the organization was accomplished. A suggestion that the name of the society be changed from The Parent Teachers Assn" to "The Edu- cational Club of Holbrook" was made by Supt. Gallagher and met with unanimous approval. The same officers were then el- ected to serve the new society.
 The Girls Glee Club of the H. s. rendered some pleasing music. after which short speeches were made by three of the teachers, Co. Supt. Peterson, Mrs. Jordan. Mrs. Larson and Mrs. FlanigaD, and by the temporary chairman, Mr. Ferguson, who takes deep interest Tn the growth of the so- ciety since he realizes Its value to town and school. Teachers the question How can Patrons help the School and others briefly stated their views as to How the School may benefit the Town" It was the consensus of opinion that by becoming acquainted Tn an as- sociation of this kind patrons and teachers may be more bene- icial, each tothe other and thus be more helpful to the children for whom the schools exist.
 At the close of the formal part of the evening ways and means were discussed for securing a arger attendance of the people If the town at these meetings. It was decided to turn the next meeting oyer to the Entertain nent Committee of which Mrs. Jordan is Chairman. As Mrs. Jordan has already begun pre- 1arations for the meeting to be leld the second Friday in De- ,ember and additional commit ,ees of patrons and teachers rave been appointed to help her, m interesting and entertaining evening has been assured.

 It seems to be the desire of the members of the coun- cil to provide a water and sewer system for the towr at the earlist possible date, and no doubt some plan vii soon be devised by which such system can be put 1T either by the town or by pri vate capitalists.
 Other business transacted was of a routine character.

Would HdUe
 Paid Germany Debt

German war plans are ad- mitted by German authori- ties themselves to have in cluded levying on the United States heavily enough to pay the entire cost of the war, and collecting by ruth less pillaging if neces- sary. Ambassador Gerard is authority for the state ment, and further proof is not hard to find. The fol- lowing editorial comment appeared in the Kelnische Volkazeitung:
 Certainly the heads of our army and navy weighed the possibilities carefully be- fore deciding upon ruthless submarine warfare. We are e n t t l e d to a humping indemnity and we do not care who pays it. Those states which have already sacrificed immense sums will be unable to pay it, there fore America will have to unbutton it's pockets"

ing was held. MT. Fergu-
 son presided in the absence
 of Mrs. Hansen.
 The topic, "What tn (
 School Can Do to Help the
 Community and What the
 Community can Do to Help
 the School" was discussed.
 The remarks made by those
 taking part in the discussion
 were brief but ri c h i n thought and the salient fea- lures of the subject wer e brought out.
 Since so many persons in Holbrook take such an in- terest in school affair, and since many of them are neither parents nor teachers, it was decided to change the name of the association so that it might include such persons. This body is now called The Educational As sociation.
 The next meeting will be held on the evening of De- cember fourteenth. This is to be a very special meeting. Watch for a further an nouncement.
 In the commercial depart some improvements have been made. New chairs for the typewriting classes have arrived and the depart has moved into a larger room.

WASHINGTON, ID. g., Apr. 28.-Official
.advices to the state department said the
Mexican government had warned Ger
mans in Mexico that any concentration of
Germans near the American border will be
followed Immediately by their arrest.
In conveying this notice the Mexican au-
thorities explained they could do no lass
in view of the fact that a state of war
exists between Germany and the United
States.

were gratified by the first practical mani
Hesitation of Mexico's proclaimed neutral
ity. Suggestions that her proclamation of
neutrality was only a thing covering for a
more friendly feeling for Germany never

|ernment, but knowledge of the i~nstruc-
tons of the German foreign office to Min
lister Eckhardt in the City Of Mexico to do
what he could to secure Mexico as an ally
in event of war with the United States has
caused all developments in Mexico to be
watched carefully.
President Carranza's recent decree pro-
.viding a heavier export tax on oil and its
derivatives has not been construed by the
state department as an international blow
at Great Britain, but merely what the Mex
lean government calls ia measure to
raise much needed money.
