Is MADE HEAD
OF TEACHERS BUREAU

The Rev. w. S. Stokes of Saluda.
has been appointed by Governor
Manning as registrar for the new
teachers employment bureau, which
will be operated by the State de-
partment of education in accordance
with an act passed by the last gem
eral assembly. The appointment
was made by John f. Swearingen,
state superintendent of education.
Mr.. Stokes has been in the city for
several days and is arranging for an
Office and other details incidental to
the opening of the office.
Mr.. Stokes is we'll fitted for the
duties of this Office. He has taught
school for number of years. He
is also a minister and has been en-
gagged in the newspaper work also.
For the past II years he has been
reading clerk of the state senate.
The act OF the general assembly
provided an appropriation of $4,000
or so much of that amount as is nee
essary for the operation of the bu-
reau. The main object of the bu-
reau is to supply schools with
teachers. \ fee of 81 will be charg-
ed the teachers taking membership
in the bureau and does not require
a percentage of the teachers salary
as is ordinarily charged by the pri-
vate teachers agencies. While the
bill has not been signed yet by Gov
ernor Manning. it is thought that he
will give his approval to the meas
ure.

position to the United States govern
ment. and probably not to her allies
except Great Britain. In this con-
nection IL was explained at the state
department that no direct proposal
had been received from Japan re-
garding Siberia. 1t is known, how
ever, that the department has been
fully informed of the Japanese plans
through the British government.
Therefore, the status of the mat
ter now, so far as can be gathered,
is that Japan has learned that her
allies heartily approve of her entry
into Siberia if that should be nee
essary to carry out her obligations.
So far as the United States govern
ment is concerned. the officials ap-
parently believe that is not necessary
for them to give any formal assur-
ances on the subject, though on
good authority it was learned that
it is believed this course can be out
lined to Japan in way to make it
perfectly clear that there is no lack
OF understanding OF Japan's posi-
tion, so that no strain will be placed
upon the relations between the two
countries through the failure of
America to record formal approval.
1t is understood that there is still
a chance that peace and order in ST.
IBERIA and the elimination of German
intrigue and propaganda there can
be secured by the Japanese without
the exhibition of actual force. In
formation is being collected
from every quarter as to the
extent of danger to be expected
from either German prisoners of war
or the extreme Maximalist Russian
party. 1t is understood that special
investigation is being made into the
strength of the Cossack general.
Semenoff. who, it is believed. really
brought the Siberian issue to the
fore by an appeal to Japan for aid in
suppressing the Bolsheviki. 1t is
suggested that these Cossacks are
the loyal Russians" referred to in
today's Toxic dispatches as an ele-
ment which must not be antagonized.

Proposed Action by Japan i'm Siberia
Will Not Offend This Gov
ernment.

Washington, March Exchanges
regarding the situation in Siberia
and the proposed action there by the
Japanese are continuing and appar-
emily have developed the fact that
there is no difference in principle
between Japan and the allies or be-
tween the the United States and ia
pan, although the United States has
not given and probably will not give
formal assent to any operations
which may be undertaken.
White House officials were dis
turbed over a published report that
the statement had been authorized
that the United States was not in ac-
toward the Japanese plans. 1t was
explained that no statement had
been authorized except that the
United States had not given its as
sent to the action under considera-
ton.
The principle upon which all par
ties to the exchanges are said to be
agreed is that il German influence
is working harmfully in Siberia and
If there is imminent risk Of the loss
of the military stores at Vladivos-
tok, Japan will be justified in using
whatever measure of force that may
be necessary to carry out her obliga-
tion to maintain the peace in the far
east during the progress Of the war.
Differences OF opinion are under
stood to relate to the measures of
support to be given to Japan in such
an undertaking.
One diplomat remarked that pub
lie discussion of the Siberian ques-
tion seemed to lose sight of the ex-
istence of special treaty between
Great Britain and Japan making it
obligatory upon the latter to protect
not only her own interests, but that
of her ally as we'll on the continent
of Asia.
Under the obligations of this
treaty, it is held in diplomatic quar-
ters that while as a matter Of cour-
tesy and perhaps of good policy, it
behooved Japan to keep the entente

Will The American Farmer

BELGIAN PEOPLE DEFY
THE GERMAN MASTERS
Suspend Sittings OF Court of Cessa-
ton as Protest Against De-
portations.

Washington, March How the
Belgian people are defying their
German military masters in protest
ing against the effort to separate
Flanders from the rest of Belgium
and the deportation of judges who
sought to interfere is described in
an official dispatch received today
at the Belgian legation.
General Won Faulkenhausen, the
military governor general. in let
ter to the Court of Cessation, which
suspended it's sittings as protest
against the arrest of the judges of
the court of appeal. has given no.
tice that the action of the judges in
instituting proceedings against the
so-called Activists, who set up the
separate Flanders government, was
regarded as an act of hostility to the
occupying power. This the Belgians
construe as an official admission
that the Activists are German
agents.
The dispatch says:
1T is confirmed that the Germans
have deported Judge Levy, the pre-
siding judge, and Judges Ernest and
CareZ, presidents of the court of
appeal. They also arrested Judge
lamar in order to deport him. but he
was released on account of illness.
THE movement of protest by the
Belgian people against the intrigues
of the Activists has taken on large
proportions. The voluntary suspen-
sion of all judiciary activity, as a
protest against the outrage commit
ted against the court Of appeals OF
Brussels, has caused a tremendous
impression even upon the German
authorities. New lists of the com
munal functionaries and of import
ant personalities who have made
protests continue to reach Havre be-
ing brought nightly by devoted pa
triots who have passed through the
electrofied frontier wires In spirit of
redoubled vigilance on the part of
the Germans.
The protest movement is specially
active in Flanders where even the
most important and ardent support
ers of all ranks and conditions have
joined in protest. 1t has been learn
ed that all the Belgian bishops, be-
ing prevented from meeting togeth-
er. have protested separately. Car
dinal Mercier has protested in a let
ter to be read at the beginning Of
his Lenten letter to his clergy. A
collective letter to the German chan
cellor has been signed by the prin-
cipal representatives of commerce at
Antwerp and a similar protest has
been sent by the provincial council
Of Antwerp.
THE free University of Brussels
has sent to the Communal council of
BRUSSELS an energetic letter joining
in the protest made by that body.
The protest of the free university is
signed by every member Of the fac
ulty.
me German authorities, over
whelmed by the patriotic outburst,
have officially forbidden all delib-
Grafton or discussion in regard to
questions of general politics such as
the autonomy OF Flanders and have
also forbidden discussion in regard
to petitions of protest to the Ger
man authorities. Every order is
menaced with severe punishment in
accordance with martial law"
