TEACHERS LOUD IN
Of OTTAWA;
INSTITUTE CLOSES
1900 VISITORS TO !. v. MEETING
VERY ENTHUSIASTIC OVER RE.
CEPTlON GIVEN THEM DURING
STAY IN CITY.

Sixteen hundred teachers departed
from Ottawa last night and this
morning exceedingly well pleased with
the treatment accorded them here dur.
ing their visit to the Illinois Valley
Association of the State Teachers In
stitute in session here Thursday night
and all day Friday.
While principal interest centered
about the sectional meetings conduct
ed at various periods of Friday, there
was no lack of interest in last nights
meeting when addresses were deliv.
cred by retiring president r. J. Nc.
COrmack, of La Sale. and DR.. n. A
Schaeffer, state superintendent OF
public instruction in Pennsylvania
Miss Effie Doan, principal of Washing.
ton school in La Sale and chairman
of the committee ON patriotic instruc-
tions in the schools.
Mr.. McCormack's address was schol
arly and'well prepared dealing abun
dainty with Greek legend as compared
with modern life. Mr. McCormack's s
discourse was read from manuscript
and showed exceedingly careful pre-
paration. COnquests of the ante
Christian period were compared to
those Of the present day together with
very enlightening contrast of peo
pie of those days and those of the
present time.
Mr.. Mccormack showed where the
present school system fails and where.
In it is glorified, giving to the teacher
the credit that is her due for the part
she plays in moulding the careers of
generations. The schools were placed
by him as the foundation stones of
our government, without which the ma
tion, he said, could not survive.
In his address Prof Schaeffer spoke
on THE School and the War show
ing the important part the American
school system will play in deciding
the present great European conflict
Prof. Schaefter took occasion in his
remarks to the vast waste of valuable
lands now being used to grow tobaccos
while in their stead foods could be
grown to feed half-starved Europe and
conserve, our own food resources.
Mr.. Schaeffer talked plainly and for
fifteen minutes held his audience close
ly following his address in which he
interspersed manyo patriotic remarks
showing his loyalty to flag and nation
as we'll as to the great educational
system Of America
Miss Doan was bit cynical in hei
few remarks on food conservation
She took issue with the men who
preached economy but did not prac
tice 1t and said she could not bring
her ideas to conform with any mans
who talked food conservation in one
breath and blew yolumnious wreaths
of smoke out of his mouth with The
other. Miss Doan, like DR.. Schaefer
believed the land now used for grow
Ing tobbaco could be better utillzet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Messages

grad, and Consul General Summers at
Moscow. dated last Friday and Satur-
day and received today at the state
department, said all Americans I'M the
principal Russian cities were safe.
Conditions in both places were rep
resented as quieter, but still chaotic.
Ambassador Francis reported that
he had obtained transportation from
Petrograd TO Harbin over the trans
Siberian railroad for Americans who
wished to depart from the capital. He
had recommended that all unattached
women and men accompanied by wo-
men and children leave. Officials
have estimated that there were about
200 Americans in Petrograd

No suggestion was made of moving
the Americans from Moscow. al
though the fighting in that city ap-
peared to have been more general and
sanguinary than that in Petrograd.
During the fiercest of the street bat
Ting many Americans were gathered
in the Hotel Metropole.
Ambassador Francis dispatch said
the Petrograd city duma had not
recognized the Lenine-TTotzky faction
and that many of the government de
partments were closed. while others
were operating under subordinate Of

Conditions Improved
Conditions in Moscow, Consul Gen
eral Summers dispatch under date
of November II said. had somewhat
improved after a week of fighting.
The Maximalists had taken over the
government.
Officials at the Russian embassy
said today they had received no late
news, but that the mention in press
dispatches of the name of Captain
Pavloff. a social democrat workmen's
leader as being at the head of the
troops opposing the Boleshevih was
encouraging as indicating that one of
the strongest factions of the opposi-
tion had gone over to the moderates.
Predict Failure
The prediction was made that the
Boleshevih would be overthrown by
military victory or fall by internal
dissension. owing to the evident in
capacity of the radical leaders to OBJ
tain the reforms embodied in their
program.

WILSON GIVEN
AUTHORITY TO
AVERT STRIKE
President Given Free Hand
In Wage Matter-Railroads
Ready to Turn Over Roads
In Event of Crisis = No
Trouble Expected
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-President
Wilson today was given free hand
by the railroads in his effort to avert
strike for higher wages by engi
neers, conductors, trainmen and brake
men, with whose representative ne
will confer here Thursday
Formal announcement by the rail
readers war board that the railroads
were ready, should any crisis arise. to
place their interests unreservedly in
the hands of the president for such
disposition as he may determine is
necessary in the public interest, was
expected to clear away misunderstood
ings of the four brotherhoods over the
attitude of. the roads, which had
caused the unions to refuse to arbi
trate the dispute.
Crisis Believed Past
Possibility of a stoppage in the
steady flow of commerce, thereby
paralyzing the nations war prepara-
tions. was believed by officials to have
passed. They expected that an agree
ment to leave the wage question to
an impartial tribunal would resul:
from Thursdays conference and al
ready suggestions for means to fore
stall any further agitation concerning
wages and conditions of work during
the war which at the same time would
protect the workers in maintaining
their standards of life in the midst
of war prices, are under consideration.
England's example Of allowing the
board of trade - regulate wages at
intervals of several months and al
the same time adjust rates to protect
the railroads is being given careful
study.
Some form of continuing arbitra-
ton. it is believed, will result from
the presidents conference.
The railroads have indicated that
they may ask for some form of con-
troll of wages and rates similar to
that in effect TO regulate coal wages
and prices.
Increased Wages Necessary
Brotherhood officials have disclosed
a serious situation in their discus
sions with Judge William l.. Cham
bers, chairman of the United States
board of mediation and conciliation,
who has been President Wilson's rep
resentative in preliminary conferences
with both sides. They said increased
wages are necessary to maintain the
operating personnel Of the roads
against the inducements of higher
wages paid in other industries which
have government contracts. Recruit
ing OF railroad regiments for service
in France, enlistment in the army and
the operation of the draft law also
have aided in depicting the number
of highly trained railroad men.
