(By Associated Press,


Russia's delegation at Brest Litovsk
have halted the German invasion OF
Great Russia by agreeing to the peace
terms offered February 81.
Peace was made, they report to the
Bolshevik government, because every
day of delay meant more demands by
the Germans. Added provisions re.
quire the Russians not only to retire
from Turkeys Asiatic provinces, but
also from territory in the regions of
kars. BatOum and karabagh, taken
from the Turks during past wars.
Operations Ceace.
Berlin also announces the signing
of peace terms and the cessation of
operations. When the German for
ward movement halted the invaders
were at Narva, 100 miles west of Petro-
grad and approaching Luga, ss miles
southwest. The Greater part of the
Ukraine also has been cleared of the
Bolsheviki. Much war material and
more than $4,000 prisoners have been
captured by the Germans in the Rus
sian campaign
Germany apparently Is determined
to give the Bolsheviki but a narrow
strip along the gulf of Finland and at
the request of the Finnish government
is to undertake the expulsion of the
Flnninsh revolutionists and Bolshevik
red guards from southern Finland.
With Rsthonia under German control
and Finland freed from Bolshevik
away, the Bolsheyiki will have less
than 200 miles of coastline along the
Finnish gulf. German troops already
have landed on the Aland islands at
the entrance to the gulf of Bothnia and
will make the islands the base of their
operations in support OF the Finnish
government. Germany has assured
Sweden that she has no territorial in
terest in the Aland islands,.
Americans Decorated.
On the western front the Germans
are becoming more active Their raid
operations have increased in scope and
are approaching the size of planned
attacks.
The attacks on the American sector
against the French in Champagne and
elsewhere and against the British lines
were in greater strength last week
than has been usual heretofore. The
enemy artillery fire also increasing on
all the fronts. Except in Flanders the
weather has been more favorable oper-

Zinc and Lead Men
Willing To Be Taxed

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Because
they are making large profits out of
the war zinc and lead mine operators
are willing to pay increased taxes,
Temple Chapman. of Joplin, Mo-. told
the House Ways and Means Committee
to-day during hearings on new war
revenue tax legislation. He is the first
witness to fatty advocate increasing
the taxes on any industry.
Since the life of the mines is short,
Mr.. CHAPMAN suggested that in fixing
higher tax rates the committee should
take cognizance of the fact that large
profits are warranted.
George W. Graham, Of New York
City, chairman of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce motor
truck committee, asked the committee
to classify motor trucks with public
utilities. and as such to let them bear
their tax burdens of immunities. Like
other witnesses, he admitted that the
tax on sales, the retention of which he
advocates, is passed on to the con-
sumer.
Edgar Gilbert, of New York, repre-
senting a chemical company, asked
that secret processes be classified as
invested capital, the Same as patents,
Massey Holmes, Of Kansas City, Mo-,
representing the Southern Pine Asso-
ciation and coke and coal company
complained of what he called incouali-
ties OF the excess profits tax as to in
vested capital.

Only Dependence for Short

The necessity of allowing no empty
motor trucks on Eastern highways
while railroad officials are attempting
to solve freight congestion problems,
growing out Of wartime activities and
increased business, was urgently en-
phasized by state and Federal experts
at meeting of traffic men from sew
crai Eastern states in the rooms of
the Merchants Association of New
York yesterday.
representatives of return load bu-
reaus" in New York, New Jersey, Penn

was called for the purpose of placing

lished in each state and local bureaus
in the cities and important shipping
points. The object is to interest mer-
chants, manufacturers and truck own
ers so that all interurban trucks NAV
carry loads both ways. Experts say
the success of the movement will solve
the short-haul problem and relieve the
railroads of great burden.
| c. A. Musselman, of Washington, a
member of the Federal Return Loads
Bureau, told the traffic men that un-
less all signs fail embargoes on freight

months.
"Along the Atlantic seaboard ship
pers must use motor trucks or moth
ing this winter" he declared. "It is of
vital Importance that the bureaus in
this part of the country be perfected
and placed in operation Immediately"
Standard Rate Sought
Traffic directors have been placed in
charge of the various Eastern bureaus.
They will attempt to fix standard
rate for hauling freight between the
cities and will make every effort to
keep every motor truck on the high
ways loaded on all trips.
Frederick E. Foster, of the New York
State Council OF Defence, declared that
New York has recognized the vast i'm
portance of the movement to shippers
and is losing no opportunity to CO.
operate with the local bureaus.
"New York State has $500 miles of
improved highways" he said, "and our
chief aim is to see that these roads are
used to the best advantage. The Leg
islature recognized the Importance of
hauling freight by motor truck and
appropriated 81 100000 to improve the
highways. Of this amount $4,000 is
for snow removal, so that the trucks
may make trips all winter.

York are prepared to put fleets of
trucks. into service as soon as the sue
cess of the return loads movement is
assured"

Vice. President of School
Board Sends Letter Ex-
planning Its Attitude
New Tax Levy Needed
Salaries Of Lowest Paid Will
Be Advanced Out of
Available Funds

Some facts which probably will
make clear the attitude of the Board of
Education, of which I am a member,
IN the matter of adjustment of teach
crs' salaries" are set forth in letter
from Frank D. Wilsey, vice president
OF the board. to Mrs. Anna Pettebone,
president of the Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth Year Women Teachers Associa-
ton.
The members Of the board, he ex-
plains, are thoroughly in sympathy
with the teachers. and appreciate their
straitened circumstances. With the
limited funds now available the board
is anxious to make adjustments where
they are most needed until additional
funds become available for thorough
revision of the salary schedules.
In his letter Vice President Wilsey
points out:
There appears to be a disposition
among the teachers to assume that the
Board Of Education is liable to forget
the good work of the teachers and their
claim to larger compensation. We are
fully aware Of the present high cost
of living and We have clearly in mind
the fact that the dollar of few years
ago had become reduced in purchasing
power by fully 80 per cent at the time
of the entry of the United States into
the arena Of war. We are fully aware
that the dollar Of year ago as COM
| in purchasing power to about 5S or so
cents. and that out of this deprecated
situation the teachers of the City of
New York have not been niggardly in
their contributions to the needs Of the
government.
To Raise Lowest Paid First
"Just at the moment the Board of
Education happens to have surplus
of a few hundred thousand dollars,
too small a sum to make any appre-
ciable effect or afford relief if spread
over the entire system. Therefore the
Board of Education, having in mind the
necessity Of providing living wage
ing it, proposes to increase the lowest
salaries to meet the present extraor-
dinary economic conditions. In doing
this thing it should be understood that
the board does not forget for one mo-
ment the fact that the teaching staff
as a whole is entirely undernaid in
the face Of the conditions which we are
now confronting. However, realizing
that with the money on hand it is not
possible to alleviate conditions thor
oughly, the board is endeavoring to
place little money where it Is most
needed.
"For some time we have been en-.
gagged in the consideration of many
tentative salary schemes, any of which
as you may surmise, run into sums in,
volving millions. At the moment the
city is without legal means of raising
money to increase teachers salaries
or, in fact, creating any additional liza
bilities over and above money that has
been appropriated in the budget
Relief Early in 1919 Seen
"It is believed that relief from some
quarter will be secured early in 1919
but it appears futile to hold out prom
ises of relief during the current year
because the city has no legal right to
reopen the budget, and its margin Of
| leeway for all purposes is limited to
