STATE SCHOOL FUND
MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
Board Of Education And Comp
troller Are Likely To Lock
Horns
ASK ATTORNEY GENERAL

The State Board Of Education and
the State Comptroller are likely TO
lock horns over the distribution of the
State public school funds. There has
been for some time back a dispute
as TO the method of awarding or dis
tributing the funds used for the
Maryland public school system. The
State Board of Education had allot-
ted to them for 1917 and 1918 $3.50 900.
The officials of the State Board of
Education claim that out of this sum
during the year 1917 there is due the
State Board of Education 100000. and
that so far during the present year
there has been withheld from the
school officials the sum of $4,000
There have been frequent confer
ences between the Comptroller's force
and the School Board officials, but
they have been unable to agree as TO
why the money has not been paid
over. Yesterday State Superintendent
stephens, of the State Board of Edu-
cation, called at the Office of Attorney
General Ritchie and asked that an
opinion be given as to whether the
State Comptroller should pay this dis
puted sum over to the State Board of
Education. 1t is understood that the
Comptroller's office contends that the
money automatically reverts back into
the treasury.
The controversy in many respects is
similar to a recent dispute between
the State Roads Commission and the
Comptroller.

POSTPONED MEETING,
Annual Convention At Baltimore WIN

OF interest TO Annapolis teachers is
the announcement just made that the
State School Teachers Association
has postponed the meeting scheduled
for Ocean City on September to 6.
and will instead meet in Baltimore on

The Friday following Thanksgiving
is a holiday. so that attendance upon
the part OF teachers will be voluntary.
The meeting last year was held Mon
day. Thanksgiving week, the schools
Of the State being closed for the en-
tire weew, and this caused some ad-
verse criticism due to the fact that the
compulsory attendance law forces the
older children into the schools Novem-
ber l, and that it is unwise to have
this break in the school year in Nov
ember, followed by break in Decem-
ber due to the Christmas vacation.
The meeting during the Thanksgiving
holidays will silence the criticism.
The Baltimore City School Board
will be requested to grant the use of
the Western High School for the meet
ing. AS the meeting in Baltimore in
1917 was attended by more than 1000
teachers, a large attendance is ex-
pected at the 1918 meeting.

LONG ON PATRIOTISM,
BUT TOO SHORT

We'll, the long and short of it is
that you are too short to remain long
in the Marines" said the Z. s. Marine
Recruiting Sergeant at the Minneapo-
lis, MINI. recruiting station to Warren
fremont Long, of that city, when he
attempted to enlist in the Marine
Corps.
Long passed an excellent PHYSICAL
examination except that he was too
short.
Long was long on patriotism and
ambition and wished to go even if it
should happen to be for a short while.
That's the way it goes" he said.
Some little fellow like me who is
crazy to go can't make it and some
big husky who ought to break his neck
to go. has to be almost dragged up to
get him to sign up.

MRS. JENKINS SPEAKS
AT F|REMEN'S FETE
Tells Of Women In Industry
During Period Of The
World War
COOPERATION is NEEDED

The short addresses provided by the
Committee on Educational Propa-
ganda of the Council of Defense, are
proving quite an attractive feature of
the Firemen's Fete.
The speaker last evening was Mrs.
Alexander F. Jenkins, of Baltimore,
who arrived on the grounds at 1880,
and was met by Mrs. Robert Dashiell,
chairman Women in Industry" Coun-
Gil of Defense of Anne Arundel Coun-
ty; Miss Katharine Walton, chairman
Educational Propaganda. and Mrs.
Weems Ridout. sub-chairman.
After the bugle call and the Star
Spaugled Banner. the speaker was in
troduced by Miss Walton. Notwith-
standing the difficulty of speaking in
the open air, Mrs. jenkins voice car
ried beautifully and her clear enunci-
alton made every word of her patriotic
and instructive address to be easily
heard and understood by her most in
terested audience.
After speaking of the causes of the
world war and of our country's en-
trance into il, and also of the patri-
otism of the women who are trying to
their utmost to fill the places of the
million and a quarter men who are
fighting TO keep their mothers, wives,
sisters, daughters, and their homes
from becoming what the unspeakable
Kaiser and his minions have made of
the conquered.
She called attention to the fact that
as women are working in elevators,
messenger service, machine shops,
munition factories and elsewhere, and
as over-fatigue and undue exertion
lessen output and efficiency, and the
protection of women workers means
greater health for future generations.
therefore, if women in industry are TO
prove efficient, they must be properly
cared for, and she urged the co-opera-
ton of every one in the following rules
promulgated by the Council of Defense
No employment of minors under Ia
years of age
An eight-hour day for women wher-
ever possible; Saturday half-holiday
One day of rest in seven.
Avoidance of night work and over
time.
Avoidance of extreme temperature
in workhouse
Adequate light, ventilation and sani-
tation.
Adequate time for rest and meals.
Protection against fire, Industrial
fatigue, disease and accident.
A place to eat outside the work
room.
Equal pay for equal work
Wages commensurate with increas-
ed cost of living
Mothers of young children in the
home rather than in industry.
Cooperation of employer and
employed.
Mrs Jenkins closed her address with
an appeal to all. whether native or
foreign-born, TO stand by the coun-
try that provides so much for them.
To stand by the government in float
ing it's Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps,
and all other war measures, as we are
not for fighting for France, for Bel
gium, or any other nation, but for
Right and Decency, and to keep the
Kaiser from fulfilling his threat that
America should pay the cost of the
war.
Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins are. in a way.
Annapolitans, for though their sum
mer home is at Boone. they spend the
week-ends on their yacht, "Afjen," in
the harbor of Annapolis

gram. was brilliantly lighted with
beautifully shaded electric parlor

the entire surroundings, bringing out
the color in the growing flowers on
the lawn. For the occasion, Mrs

sang a group of songs. her rich sweet
soprano voice never being heard to
better advantage.

Danger of Capture by the

Rroach Hunding Line
BY ASSocidfcd Press

Paris, Oct. 9.-The Hindenburg
line no longer bars the path of the
Allies. The definite rupture of it was
achieved on the first day of the
fighting in the new development to-
wards the north of the great battle
now raging from the Escaut to the
Meuse.
Enemy Losses Heavy
To Anglo-Saxon forces went the
honor of storming the last remnants
of the extraordinary maze of de-
lenses, in some places twelve miles
in depth, between Cambria and St.
Quentin. Apart from this achieve
ment the results of the days fighting
were notable in that the enemy's
losses must have run into tens of
thousands during the days fighting
battle front. In addition important
strategic objects were attained.
Allies Threaten Bohain
The allies now are in the open
country on the Cambrai-St. Quentin
front and are threatening Bohain,
an important junction of roads and
railways, the Americans last night
having pushed within two miles of
that place.
Once the masters of Bohain, the
Allies, should they push towards
Guise, would take in the rear not
only the Laon-St Gobain massif
but the positions along the river
Serre, dubbed by the Germans the
Hunding line, which joins at Chau-
mont -Porcien the Brunhilde line
running along the Aisne.
The Germans We're so confident in
the strength of the Cambria-St.
Quentin front that they neglected to
organize the rectangular position
bounded on the north by the line of
Cambria and Landrecies and south
by the Serre position of which Guise
approximately is the center. AS a
result all the German positions par
ellel to the German frontier. starting
in the east and running as far as La
Capelle, Vervins and Marie, risk
being raked in.
The other arm of the trap which
is closing relentlessly on the Ger
mans that operated by General
Gouraud has also secured import
ant results in the teeth of desperate
resistance.
To complete the days work
Franco-American forces moved up
on the right flank of the Meuse. won
back places famous in the Verdun
struggle and got in line with the
Americans on the left bank, who are
thus relieved of the CALLING fianking
fire which had prevented them NOV

the British and Americans continued
their progress of Tuesday under a

was almost smothered under the
great deluge of steel and explosions.
A large number of guns have been
captured by the British and Amer

of prisoners which continue to ar
rive at the cages. The American
troops alone captured two complete
field batteries and battery of heavy
artillery.
Yanks Take Guns
The Americans captured these
guns Tuesday afternoon when they
suddenly outflanked both ends OF
the valley south of Fremont, cap
turing all the German guns there
German reinforcements have ar
rived but as these troops have been
engaged several times recently their
presence merely adds to the con-
fusion in the enemy ranks.
Enemy i'll Confusion
Throughout Tuesday and last night
the British had complete control ol
the air. Roads, barracks, masseo
troops and batteries behind the Ger
man lines all were targets for the
busy British bombing airplanes.
In aerial fights considerable
number of the enemy were brought
down.
There is great confusion within
the enemy lines. On the front
of the two British armies engaged
twenty-nine enemy divisions have
been identified along the twenty
mile fighting line. Some of these
divisions have been engaged almost
continuously since August and
