THREE RESIGN FROM
SCHOOL BOARD

June 15, the next regular meeting
of the board.
Who the successor will he. has not
been discussed, members said to-
day. Several names have been men
toned, 1t was intimated, but even
these would not be divulged, al
though Mr.. Bretz admitted he had
approached one man.
Up to the time that Mr.. Stamm
presented his resignation only rou-
tine business had been transacted,
including action on committee re-

mitted by V. T. Ritter and c. How
ard Lloyd, two of the architects

committee.
President Stamm took the floor
after this was decided, and called
Vice-President Werner to the chair,
at the same time handing his resig-
nation to Secretary Hammelbaugh,
requesting him to read it.
When Secretary Hammelbaugh fin
ished reading the resignation, Mr..
Stamm asked it's acceptance and that
Mr.. Werner be named as his success
sor. Director Bacon moved to ac-
cept the resignation, Mr.. Boyer Sec
onded, and the motion carried.
This was the first move that de-
stroyed the composure of Directors
Boil, Boyer, Bretz and Werner. That
the action was entirely a surprise to
them was evident. The next step
made the situation worse for the four
men, when Mr.. Stamm handed a slip
of paper to Secretary Hammelbaugh, /,
who read the resignation of DR..
Yates. No specific reason was given,
but it is understood that he took this
step because of the architect row.
After a short, silent wait. Director
Boil with glance at Directors Boyer
and Bretz, moved acceptance of DR..
Yates resignation. Mr.. Boyer Sec
onded and the motion carried.
Werner and Keen
Mr.. Boyer then nominated Vice.
President Werner for the presidency;

lean troops should be sent to France,
particularly interest attached to the
conference to-day between Rene Nivi-

that the views Of the French officials,

Yesterday, advising that American
forces be sent TO the battle front soon,
were formally presented to Mr. Wilson.
No Administration official would com

Millions of Workers
On Strike in Europe

Millions of industrial workers in
Europe are on strike to-day. In Austria
Hungary the labor holiday. May |, viii
be celebrated for the first time since
the beginning of the war. II Will be
devoted entirely TO peace propaganda
and peace assemblies.
This Austrian labor demonstration
may have mOmentOus consequences.
Austriss desire for peace is no longer
a matter Of speculation. The industrial
classes there have openly declared their
sentiments
The Berlin strikes of two weeks ago
were in themselves portentous. The
alarm with which to-day's strike has
been awaited IN official Germany IS
notorious.
The great significance Of to-day's
strike, however. lies in the fact that i
unites the rroletarist Of Europe. Thus.
the scandinavian unrest, which has
manifested itself recently on several
occasions. is likely TO assume, begin
ming to-day, a more tangible form. The
Spanish industrial class has also been
restless in the last few weeks.

Washington, April 30.-A complete
censorship Of all news of internal con-
ditions has shut down over Germany
on the eve Of May Day. on which a
great strike to prove the power OF
labor" is expected. Dispatches to the
State Department to-day from The
Hague say that for six days preceding
April %, when the message was sent,
no Germans were allowed TO cross the
frontier. A dispatch from Copenhagen
saws that no newspapers have been al
lowed to come out of Germany for
forty-eight hours.
The latest reports indicated condi-
tions so serious that almost any de-
velopments seemed possible. The labor
crs had threatened a general strike
and the government had made counter
threats. Leaders on both sides We're
showing feversh apprehension as to
what the result would be.
