CUBAN REBELS TO
FIGHT WITH FIRE
Warfare to Consist of
Burning Towns and
Looting Homes
BY Associated Press

Santiago, Cuba, March IA. = Ad-
ditional evidence tending to show that
the liberals have virtually decided to
substitute a campaig nof fire and
pillage for an organized military move
meht, is contained in a report of a
meeting held yesterday at Songo, the
headquarters of Major Rigoberto Fer
nandez, one of the rebel leaders.
Although it is certain that Fer
nandez's lieutenants dissented, he in
sisted, according to reports, that the
time had come when his forces must
be divided and guerilla warfare begun.
He urged the sending of bands bear
ing torches into every cane growing
district, it is said, with instructions to
burn, loot and bring desolation.
The encounter between the govern
ment forces and liberals that has been
anticipated at San Luis has not yet
taken place, although there was slSir-
mishing to-day in which a few men
were wounded. The Liberals fell back
on Los Caminos, replenishing their
supplies from the stores of the mer-
chants. Most of these merchants are
Spanish and fed to Santiago, protest
ing to their consul.

VALUE
OF HIGH SCHOOLS
Circulars Pointing Out Import
ance of Education to Be
Distributed

Within the next few days, every
boy and girl in public schools in the
city will be given a circular pointing
out the importance and value to take
home to parents of better education.
Arrangements for the printing and
distribution of these circulars were
made by the late Samuel Kunkel. The
information printe don them is taken
from the United States Bureau of Ed
ucation exhibit at the Panama Pacific
Exposition. On one side is given fig
ures showing what four years in
school paid. giving a Comparison of
the average wages for those leaving
school at IA. and those leaving at IS
with high school training.
The other side is used to prove that
each day spent in school pays the
nine dollars. The estimate is based
on an income of $500 for uneducated
laborers, as average pay for forty
years; and $1,000 a year for high
school graduates, as average pay for
forty years, and $1,000 year for
high school graduates, as average pay
for forty years. To earn the addi-
tional $4,000 requires 2,160 more
days of public school education.

Columbia University Train
ing Army interpreters

Washington, Aug. 4.-Expert inter
prefers by the hundreds will soon bt
needed to carry on the business of I'm
Gle Sans new national army abroad.
Complete courses in military interpre-
tation of foreign languages, approved
by Secretary Baker and the war col
lege, are being offered for the summer
Il Columbia University, where linguists
OF every variety will be turned out for
home and field service during the war,
They will enter the army with the rank
of sergeant.
First class interpreters, the war de-
partment has found, are hard class
to muster into the service in large num-
bers. An applicant for the preliminary
training course must be able to fluently
speak and be able to read either French
or German. His business will not be
merely to translate military documents
and letters He must converse intelli-
gently and aid officers with only
knowledge of English in carrying on
that part of their business which must
be done in foreign countries.
Before receiving appointment to the
service the applicant must pass the reg
ular army physical examination-al
most as big job as learning couple
of languages. He must also prove Am
crican birth and citizenship and loyal
ty to the cause of the United States.
His family tree is thoroughly probed
in a search for flaws. The thoroughly
trained interpreter is Immediately as
signed to duty, for the government is
at present shy of linguists. If he com
pletes his course before the national
army needs him, he may be assigned to
duty in the camp where thousands of
aliens are temporarily interned, or to
the department of justice investigation
service.
