MAY PUT CENTRAL
SCHOOL ON MARKET
Board of Education Has Yet
Made No Plans for Dis
position of Property.

Now that the Hammond high school
has been moved TO the new industrial
high school building on Calumet ave
nue., the question of disposing Of the
Central school property, valued at
$4,000, is paramount.
No definite policy has been agreed
upon by the board Of education. it was
stated today. but it IS understood that
the board will sell if it can get the
price it believes the property worth.
With a frontage of more than 220
feet on Holman street and a depth Of
more than $50 feet, the property is too
valuable for school purposes because
Of its central location. The board has
considered disposing of the Holman
sand Fayette street corner with a 'front.'
age Of fifty feet on Holman street and
and extending back to the first alley
east of Holman street on Fayette
street
The Central school is being used at
present for grades that met in the Lin
coln-Jeferson school last year. In or
order to accommodate these pupils in
case the entire Central school property
is disposed of this year the board Of
education would have to construct an
addition TO the Washington school at a
cost of $4,000. it was stated this morn
ing.
The deal would leave the board at
least 100000 ahead and in a position
to. continue with the erection Of the
second and third units of the indus
trial high school.
The Central school building could be
converted into commercial use very
easily. 1t would be useful for hotel
or theature purposes.
Several years ago, when the first con-
tract for the neg high school was let.
the Central school building was offered
for sale. but the litigation over the
building contract stopped the deal.

"Blockade Bread" !"

Germany is forcing the imperial
Greek government to the humiliation
of seeing blockade bread" served on
the tables of the royal palace-which
will doubtless cause the Kaiser to
indite an indignation letter to his sis
ter, the Greek queen, and make some
apostles of Prussian junkerism froth
in rage.
There is strange fatalistic ring
about the phrase, blockade bread"
1t was not made in Germany" The
Teutons term is war bread" and
they glory in the appellation. The
first from a German point of view
Is impossible. 1t suggests the iron
grip of British naval power, and that
is something which the middle
classes and the lower classes must
be kept from thinking about. Trust
the censorship to keep the new Greek
phrase out of Germany.
The military pundits of the central
empires are rising to new heights of
self-deception in the situation now
before them. A score of victories
cannot compensate for the syste-
matte undertaking and undernour-
ishment which is the lot of a vast
majority of the civilian population in
Germany and Austria. 1t is not a
matter of starvation, and may never
be. despite the calculations of the
entente; but it is matter of reduc-
ing millions of Woodworking folk to
subnormal vitality and of under
mining the health of future genera
tions.
A score of denials from Food Die
tator Batocki cannot cancel the facts
which seep out of Germany from
myriad sources. There is no doubt
of their essential truth, although
doubtless some reports are tinged
with exaggeration. But the fact it
self cannot be willed or exercised OH.

NOT SUFFICIENTLY EXPLICIT.

At a social affair in Washington the
other night reference was made to occa-
siopal marriages wherein the bride Is sew
eral years older than the bridegroom
when this instance was recalled by for
mer Senator Theodore E. Burton, of
Ohio:
Some time ago a young man led a wom-
an to the altar who was at least twen-
ty-five years his senior, and since the
bride was not at all attractive, 1t was
clearly case of marrying for money
on the part Of the bridegroom.

Germany has played her hand
rather boldly and openly. There is
