ITALIANS FIGHT SUBMARINES
WITH CANNON ON FLAT CARS

ROME, Italy, May 31.-One of the
unusual methods adopted by the Ital-
ian Navy Department to fight the sub
marines is to equip large number of
specially constructed fiat cars with
light cannon and distribute them along
the railroad lines that run near the
sea- In some cases these fortresses on
wheels cruise together, made up into
sections, with the seventy men of each
section, all expert gunners, housed in
boxes that accompany the armored
cars. On one of the cars of the section
is a huge signal ladder where look
out is stationed This arm has proven
effective in destroying submarines that
ventureed close to shore.

ENGLISH SCHOOL TEACHERS
PROTEST AGAINST MINISTER'S
AS TEACHERS IN SCHOOLS

LONDON, May 31.-School teachers
in London and other parts of England,
through their respective organizations,
have protested against the decision of
the municipal authorities to employ
clergymen and Non-confornist min
listers as teachers in the elementary
schools.
AS preliminary to the decision of the
authorities, the Board of Education a
few months ago cancelled regulation
which prohibited the employment of
clergy and ministers on the stats of
schools. The change is to be made for
the period of the war as means, it is
said, of remedying the serious short
age of teachers.
The protest of the teachers is not
ased on economic or professional reas-
ons but is made against the clergy and
minister's of military age. The teachers
have called the ministers and clergy
professional conscientious directors
against military service

IN MEMORIAM.

God moves in mysterious way"
His ways are past finding out. But
we are sure he doeth all things we'll;
therefore, as we do not understand, we
will not question his dealings, nor ask
why, in the early morning hours of
May 2Sth He saw fit to enter the home
of ]. w. Jordan and take from it a
loving wife and mother. She was a
sweet-spirited Christian woman, CIV
inc evidence in her daily walk and
conversation that she had been with
Jesus. In her home life she was not
only a helpmeet to her husband, but
an inspiration to him in his business
life AS a mother she was devoted to
her children, giving to them first place
in her busy life. Her life was full OF
that which enriches and endures, un
selfish and kind. But when Gods time
came for her to leave us the Angel OF
Death reached down and tenderly lifted
her up where heavens joys begin and
earth's burdens are laid down, and
welcome" rang through that bright
world ere the farewells were hushed
in this.
She lived quiet, but useful life, and
as long as she was physically able she
was ever ready to extend a helping
hand to the needy in her community.
She was for long time great suf-
ferer, but she bore it all with true
Christian resignation, and we are com
forted in the thought that her sweet
spirit has entered that beautiful home
of the SOUL where all is peace, happi-
ness and joy, and sickness and sorrow,
pain and death are felt and feared no
more
To her bereaved husband and child.
rem who are left to mourn the loss OF
wife and mother, l would say, God
bless and keep you in this trying hour,
strive to emulate that sweet Christ
ian life she has lived among you, and
like her, at the close of life be pre-
pared to receive that welcome plaudit

TO TRAIN AMERICAN AVIATORS
FOR SERVICE AT GEORGIA TECH

ATLANTA, Ca, May S1.-Two hun
dred young Americans who have vol
unteered for service in the aviation
corps, will arrive in Atlanta about
June 10 to begin a two-months course
of intensive training, with headquar-
tars at the Georgia School of Technol-
oey
They will be taught how to take
down and put together gasoline mo-
tor; how to operate motor; how to
take down and re-assemble an aero
plane, and how to operate one; how
to take down and put together ma.
chine gun, and how to operate it while
in the air; how to drop bombs and read
maps, how to take photographs from
the air of troop movements, and how
to operate wireless telegraph instru'
ments-in short, they will be given a
thorough course in the art and science
of aviation, the most daring and the
most dangerous, as well as the most
fascinating, branch of modern war
fare.
Local army officers are more and
more inclined to believe that the
surest way to whip the Germans is by
driving their aviators from the air
which has been the slogan sounded
ever since Americas entrance into
the war by Americans who are now
serving as aviators on the western
front. America can furnish practically
an unlimited number of aviators and
planes, while the German supply is
necessarily limited, both in machines
and men. If the Germans were driven
completely from the air, their artillery
would be blind and their whole organ
ization of troop and supply movement;
behind their own lines would be ex-
posed to destruction by Allied artillery
fire.

GERMANY PLANNED
To ANNEX BAL TIC
SHORE Of RUSSIA

\ AT THE FRENCH FRONT, May 81
What Frenchmen regard as proof that
the German government has planned to
annex the Baltic provinces of Russia
was found in German official pamph.
/ let marked strictly confidential and
found in house at Noyon after the
German evacuation of that place. Both
German government officials and Ger
man newspapers recently have denied
there was any such plan, but the dis
covery of the pamphlet is held here as
evidence to the contrary.
The conclusions summed up in the
pamphlet are:
THE culture Of the Russian Baltic
provinces is German and has been SO
ever since the first German colony mi
grated there The culture of the Lith-
uanians and Esthonians is also Ger
man. The Baltic provinces are the
most German of all the Russian from
tier territories. The Russian influence
has manifested itself there only as an
element of destruction and decomposi-
ton. 1t has remained purely superb
cial and has been maintained only by
the presence of Russian officials.
Should these disappear the Russian in
fiuence will go with them.
THE country is almost entirely prot
estant, and the Lithuanians and Es-
thonians are protestants exactly like
the Germans. Only a feeble fraction
besides the Russian officials follow the
Greek orthodox faith. This Greco
Orthodox fraction. whose conversion
was effected by artifce and force, has
tendency toward protestanism and
would certainly embrace it if it pos
sessed liberty of conscience.
"The three provinces are single
and unique field of civilization; they
hould form one unity. The three prov
iaces form a geographic unity. Being
our immediate neighbors we could
maintain ourselves there much more
easily than in any oversee colony.
THE country is thinly populated and
thus offers considerable opportunities
| for immigration. 1t is almost exactly
as extensive as Wurtemburg and Ba-
varia together. Its excess of agricul-
tural production is so considerable thai
il would make up for the deacit il
the German agricultural products The
country possesses few railroads, ant
all other communications are preca
rious 1t thus offers a vast field O.
action to industry and technical sci
erces. The administration of the eoun
TRY presents no difficulty, its inhabi
tants having been for several centuries
accustomed to govern themselves.
only the annexation of the Baltic
provinces would give US the mastery
of the Baltic and its commerce
