YELLOW FLAG Anglers
CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

Pupils and faculty of Central High
School were annoyed yesterday morning
to find flying from the tall hagpole In
the stadium a yellow flag six feet long.
The halliards had been cut so that the
banner could not be lowered by ordinary
methods.
Central High students were outspoken
in their conviction that the new decora-
ton had been put in place during the
night by students of Technical High
School and that it was intended to make
pointed reference to the state of mind
of the Central authorities and under
graduates which impelled them to re-
frain from competing in the interhigh
track meet held Saturday last.
The flag remained in place Tapping
merrily until this morning, when a
determined Central student named
Klein managed to "shin" up the tall
pole and bring 1t down. It was then
cut into many small pieces. and these
were worn in the lapels Of the male
student body. ,Retaliatory measures
against the students of the rival In
stitution were planned. but Principal
Wilson of Central Immediately quash-
ed the plan.

Up WITH PRESIDENT
Threatened Breach Over
Chamberlain Resolution
Healed by Substitute.

With less than two minutes debate,
the threatened breach between Presi-
dent Wilson and the Senate disap-
peared today, when, by a viva voce
vote, an acceptable substitute was
adopted in place Of the Chamberlain
resolution which the President con-
tended was nothing less than a pro-
posal to constitute the military affairs
committee committee on the conduct
of the war.
The compromise, pronounced ac-
ceptable to the administration and
declared by Senator Chamberlain to
be acceptable to him, was reached
after prolonged conferences. and
merely proposes that any expenses
incurred by the military committee
for Investigations previously author
gent fund Of the Senate. 1t elm
mates entirely the proposed author
fty for subcommittee to sit during
the recess Of Congress.
BY the adoption of the substitute,
vote on the original Chamberlain
resolution was avoided entirely Pres
ident Wilson plainly told senators
he considered such a vote practically
question Of vote of confidence.
The substitute resolution does not
prevent an investigation Of the air
craft situation, to which the President
has stated he has no objection whatever.
1t meets the Presidents objection that
the original Chamberlain resolution
virtually proposed to constitute a
committee on the conduct of the war
and place with Congress the execu-
tive duties now lodged with the Presi-
dent and the other executive heads OF
the government
