CONCLUSION.

In presenting this report at the beginning
of my fifth year in your service as superintend-
ent of the schools of the county I want to ex-
press my appreciation for the good will and
hearty support that your Honorable Body has
accorded me during the past four years. Your
cooperation has served to encourage me in
my efforts in behalf of the educational welfare
of the youth of Marathon County.
During the past year our schools had to
assume many extra burdens in connection with
the war. During the present year the school
work has suffered materially through Spanish
Influenza. These Interruptions have tend
ency to lower the efficiency of the school sys-
TEN. 1t is, therefore, highly important that
all hands join in efforts to keep up the efficien-
cy of the schools at any cost
Assuring you of my readiness to do my full
duty in this particular and bespeaking your
further cooperation, l am respectfully sub
uniting this report

RUSSIA YIELDS TO GERMANY.
State Department Not Surprised at
Signing of Pact by Bolshevists.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Official Wash
ington was not surprises! at the news
last night that Russia had accepted
Germany's peace terms.
The State Department was without
official confirmation of the news up
10 late hour last night, but full Gre
dence is given the press reports that
the Russians had made peace, in vie"
of the situation as it had been report
ed by Ambassador Francis.
There is no disposition in any quar-
ter to minimize the serious effect Of
the final conclusion OF this long-fore-
Swallowed event.
Experts at the Food Administration,
and the State Department insist that
the central powers will gain little ad-
vantage from their tr!umphs IN the
East this year. The real Importance
Of the Russian peace may be summed
up as follows:
The German people will be assured
that great military and diplomatic
triumph has been scored by the rul-
crs whom they were already beglnn-
ing to question.
The German people will be assured
Of ample food supplies next year
possibly of vastly increased man-pow-
er from the conquered provinces.
Under these circumstances, no one
in official or diplomatic Washington
is willing to say that Germany TINS
wear will crack under the strain.
Allied diplomats here have long es-
timated the Russian debacle on
these terms. The State Department
has also generally accepted this esti-
mate. Both considered it to mean
that the war must now be fought out
or the Western front with Germany
and the allies for the first time on
equal economic terms.

FIXES PRICE OF WHEAT.

President Declares Figures Quoted
Will Permit Reasonable Profit For
Grower.
Washington, Feb. 25.-President
Wilson has raised the governmental
guaranteed price for the 1913 wheat
crop aus high as 1928 hushel in one
primary market and in varying sums
in all other primary markets eX-
cept four.
Acting under authority of the tooa
law. the President thus met the ag-
itation in Congress for higher prices
and took steps to stimulate production
and prevent holding back the crop
while the agitation was going on.
The prices fixed, the President de-
clared, would assure the producer OF
a reasonable profit. On the basis OF
No. / Northern spring wheat and its
equivalent, the Presidentn fixed prices
as follows:
Chicago, 1920; Kansas City, s2.15;
Minneapolis, SIT; New York, s2.2S;
Newport News, 1927; Charleston, ).
c., 1927; San Francisco, 500; New
Orleans, 1920.
The equivalents of No. Northern
to which the same price applies, are
No. / hard winter, No. l red winter,
No. / durum and No. l hard white.
Tho wheat must be harvested in the
United States during 1918 and sold
in the market before June l, 1919.
The Presidents proclamation states
that the action is to meet an emer-
gcney requiring the stimulation OF
wheat planting.

MARINE DISASTER.

Vessel Pounds to Pieces on Rocks.
While Gale Beats Back all .M-
tempts at Relief.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Feb. 25.--
The Florizel, of the Rel Cross Line,
pounded herself to pieces yester-
day on the rocks of the Newfound-
land coast and with 1876 persons
aboard sank last night while watch
ers on shore and a fleet Of rescue
vessels only a short distance away
stood ready to lend assistance. Re
ports late last night indicate not a
soul aboard the Florizel had escaped.
Bodies are drifting ashore, tell
ing the tale of the lost battle for life.
The liner crashed onto the rocks
early yesterday morning, only three
or four ship-lengths from shore. She
was bound from st. Johns, Newfound-
land, to New York, via Halifax.
A short time later, number OF
steamers and warships were dispatch
ed to her assistance and relief train
was made up and sent on its way.
Early last evening, a light IN the
forward part of the half-submerged
vessel afforded the hope that some
lives could be saved and everything
was made in readiness for the shoot
ing of rockets carrying life lines.
All during this time maddened SEAS
driven in the teeth Of raging biz
card, were breaking over the decks
Of the stranded vessel. Little by lit
tie her resistance-she was built es-
pecially for battling with the weather
of the Newfoundland coast-gave
way, and last night with rescuers on
every side her last effort for life
gave way and she went down with
her entire complement with the ex-
ception off five or six bodies which
previously had been washed ashore.
