NE WIS. OF BESSEMER
MISS BERNEY CULLEN. Correspondent

Bessemer, February 13-(SpeciaL)-The
Bessemer board of education adopted a
resolution last night at their regular
meeting. offering to care for leo students
from the Central High school in Bir-
mingham. The offer was reported to DR..
Phillips today. The meeting of the board
was held last night at the high school,
and the entire evening devoted to con-
sideration of ways and means in which
the Bessemer school could assist the
Birmingham High school students. An
drew C. Mitchell. president of the board,
stated that a large number of students
who lived on both the North Bessemer
and South Bessemer car lines could at
tend school at Bessemer with little more
trouble than their trip to Birmingham
entails. In fact, if they take advan-
tage of this offer in sufficient numbers,
special cars could be operated on both
lines and the students placed at the doors
OF the Bessemer High within IS minutes.
Every precaution is being taken by the
city officials in view of the fact that the
fires at the Birmingham and Pratt City
schools may possibly have been of in
cendiary origin.

nations and ministerial crisis but the
Hobbies eventually were emptied without
any of the rumors being substantiated.
The morning newspapers reproduce some
of these stories. The Daily News says
that those in high places in the House
of Commons believe that on Monday
night the government put pressure upon
General Sir William Robertson, chief of
the imperial general staff, with a view
to inducing him to resign, the intention
being to replace him by Maj. Gen. Sir
Henry Wilson, the British representative
at the Versailles council. General Rob-
ertson resisted the pressure, the newspa-
per adds, and the government on Tues
| day was considering removing him. The
Daily Chronicle, which hints at probable
military and political changes, says Gem
eral Wilson is in London now on impor-
tant business.
The Morning Post quotes lobby cor
respondent as stating that crisis has
arisen over General Robertson's reten-
tion by the cabinet which may have Sc
rious consequences for the latter.
The rumors affect Field Marshal Haig,
the British COMMUNICATIVE less than
! they do General Robertson. Hostile
critics of the government, like the Post
and the News, says Premier Lloyd
George failed to exert his usual power
over the public, and that the war cabi-
net has lost prestige in all parties.
The Times says the debate worked a
definite change in relations between the
government and the opposition, and adds
that rightly, or wrongly, ex-Premier AS
quith, as the result of his speech, was
hailed as the rising hope of a peace
party, which apparently expects to re-
inforce it's numbers under cover of the
cry of support the soldiers"
