measure was received in the office OF
Superintendent OF Schools Thurston
today.
The boys. Victor Beauchamp. of

war, with Its additional burdens, has
taken more money than ever before
from the family income.
A reduction in the age limit has
permitted many students to be en-
ployed by the Government. II is said.
With an additional two weeks in
which to work, the letter says, mod

GERMAN CONCESSIONS
TO POLAND DEPEND ON
AUSTRIA'S APPROVAL

LONDON, Aug. 1s.-German con-
cessions in Poland are expected
shortly, but they will be conditioned
on Austria's approval, according to
dispatches that have come mere from
an apparently authentic source.
The probable plan is that the Cen
trail Powers will offer regency
composed of three prominent Polish
politicians and a ministerial cabinet
and council OF state. The proposed
council OF state would exclude from
its membership any person now serv-
ing on the provisional council OF
state, as Germany holds that these
individuals have lost the confidence
OF Poland.
