tending this school and that a man who has that faculty is so extremely hard to find that we feel that we can- not spare you.
 That the two members of the normal school board, who are instrumental in your attempted dismissal, have never visited us to learn how the school was being conducted, and yet they act as if the school was their private proper ty. in which the citizens and taxpayers of Arizona have no interest. If it is their private property we want to find it out now. and we know of no better way of testing this issue.
 Have Appealed to Hunt
 That we have stated our griev- ances to the governor of the state and that he has done nothing to even give us hearing when he already knows that we have been denied the right of petition, and have suffered other wrongs connected with your removal if Governor Hunt. wants us to recall our strike order, let him give us. a fair and impartial hearing and we are ready then to suspend the strike but not until them.
 Respectfully submitted.

 Today again, the teachers went to each recitation period to their class rooms and no students came. Even the adult resident students who were talk ing special courses refuse to attend classes. The best of order prevails. and every student is supporting the strike.
 Governor States Stand
 Strike or no strike among the stu dents of the Northern Arizona Normal school at Flagstaff, it is very probable that G. E. Cornelius, former principal of the Winslow schools. who recently was elected as president of the Flag staff Normal, will remain at the head of that institution. according to Gov ernor Hunt yesterday when asked re- garding the situation at that school ard the probable outcome of the strike.

 NOT STOPPED FUR
 STEEL; MEN NEEDED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, March 20.-In a. general reply to criticisms raised in the de- pate. Premier Lloyd George said that shipbuliding had not been stopped for lack Of steel or steel plates. The diff tlculty had been largely one of labor. Every man in the home service skilled m shipbuilding had already been taken from the army, but when it was de- manded that twenty thousand men should be withdrawn forcibly from the Held operations a very seriously re- sponsibility was involved. Many of these men were essential to manning batteries and were the mainstay of complete organizations.
 We cannot take the risk of destrov Ing the efficiency of the army in the field at a very critical and perilous moment added the premier, where the skill of these men is essential to the successful conduct of particular operations"
 The government believed, continued the premier, that by special exertion. the deficiency of 120,000 tons monthly m British shipping could be made good. Thereby making it impossible for the enemy, who was unable to defeat the allies in the field. to defeat them by the process of destroying their trade.
 This would do more to shorten the war than any individual effort the country could put forward" said the premier. because 1t would bring home to the enemy that however long he went on with the war he would never be able to defeat us"

nelius was elected by the board with out any part being taken by me. In a telephone conversation with Judge Crosby. however, I did tell him that the board. previous to the election of MT. Cornelius, had given me data in regard to the unfitness of Dr. Blome which seemed ample to ms.
 T have received no request from a committee of citizens to delay the action of the board so there could be a hearing" added the governor. T did receive a telephone request from Miss Elizabeth Angle, saying she rep- resented the student body and demand ing the resignations of MT. Hennessy, MT. McGonigle and Mir. Cornelius. I could ask for the resignations of the members of the board, whom I ap- pointed, but that would not change things any. because MT. Cornelius has been elected president. If the students Of state educational institution were permitted to dictate who the president should be, or who should compose the faculty. the usefulness of that institu- tion would be gone.
 If any complaints are received re- garding the election of Mr. Cornelius or any other action of the board. I will be glad to pass them on to the board" declared Governor Hunt. There frequently is friction among the mem- bers of the faculty of the state schools. Educators all too often are theorists and are not capable in business af- fairs. l understand that there has been Considerable trouble with Dr. Blome and that he had to hide out a day or two last summer for some action at the normal.
 T will be glad to give a hearing to any committee" stated the governor There has been no petition received opposing the action of the board.'

TECHNICAL MEN ID
 BE SUMMONED SOON

WASHINGTON, March 2o-Provost Marshal General Crowder will begin within a few days calling out for spec ial instruction the men in the draft needed by the army in technical posi- tions. A general survey of the educa- tional institutions of the country is in progress. it was announced today. to determine what colleges and industrial schools will be available for their training during the summer months.
 Probably 6o.0o0 men obtained prin- cipally from Class one, will be ordered out for special training. Local draft boards will publish widely the oppor- tunity that is afforded to registrants with a view to obtaining as many voluntary inductions into the service as possible.
 While the requisition for skilled men made by the war department for the remainder of 1918 totals 365,000 men, officials of the provost marshal gen. erals staff believe this will be mate rially reduced when the various items are carefully considered.

LIVE NEUTRALS BUT
 L0SE FRIENDSHIPS

/. AMSTERDAM, March 20.-Debate vas resumed in the German reichstag today on the peace treaty. pr. Gustav Stresemann, national liberal, eulogized The policy of peace which he said the emperor always had pursued. He de- plored that while Great Britain op- prfssed neutral countries and Germany lpared them, Germany's circle of Friends was not increased. He regret ed the renunciation of Russian war Indemnity
 Dr. Stresemann interpreted the shancellor's words, in which he put the responsibility for the coming battles on the enemy, as meaning that the .nemy also would bear the responsi- aility for the change in the German policy regarding territorial questions md war indemnities.
 This was loudly applauded by the Right and the National liberals.
 Count von Westary, conservative, Iaid
 "We demanded in the peace treaties 10 war indemnity and we have ob- ained only small economic advantages. This procedure shall not be followed in he coming peace treaties. A heavy var indemnity ought to be imposed on sumania."

TROTzKY INVITES
 AN INVESTIGATION
Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ

MOSCOW, Tuesday, March 19. - Leon Trotzky's reply to the entente allies inquiries concerning reports that the Bolsheviki had armed thous ands of German and Austrian war prisoners in Siberia, who now threat ened the ltrans- Siberian railway. was:
 Send trained officers and investi- gate. I will give you a train"
 The offer was accepted and tonight Captain William R. Webster of the American Red Cross and Captain w.. L. Hicks of the British military mis- sion, left for Irkutsk, Tchita and other points where the Germans are reported to be provided with rifles, field pieces and ammunition.
 The Bolshevik papers charge that the reports of the menace of armed German and Austrian prisoners in Sl- beria is part of the German propa- ganda to disrcedit the soviet govern ment and encourage Japanese inter- Yention.
 M. fTrotzky also has asked tine Amer ican military mission for ten American officers to assist him as inspectors in organizing and training a new volun- teer army has requested the services of American railway engineers and transportation experts to assist in the re- organization of the railways. He has also asked for American railway equipment in the way of locomotives and cars.
 There has been a marked change in the attitude of the entente allies to- ward the soviet government. The en- tente missions are no longer rushing away from Russia. The English, French, American, Italian and Ser bians now have military missions in Moscow, and they are taking quarters as they expect to remain. There are many signs of renewed cooperation between Russia and the allies.

rRepublIcan A. P. Leased Wlre1


 WASHINGTON. March 20-Consid- eration of the war finance corporation bill was completed tonight by the house after all efforts to effect changes not acceptable to the ways and means committee had failed. Agreement was reached to take a final vote when the house convenes at noon tomorrow. Majority Leader Kitchin announced he did not expect more than 30 votes against the measure.
 MT. Kitchin today offered an amend ment which he said would have a tendency to stabilize the value of the AmeEican dollar in foreign countries and it was quickly passed without record vote. It provides that a part of bonds of the proposed corporation shall be issued in denominations of foreign money for sale in those coun- tries at the discretion of the directors.

Delay Due to Repairs

The delay in the output for January and February was largely due to re- pairs and the conversion of ships into oil tankers, which class the Germans had set themselves to sink. The net addition to labor in the last seven months had been 1S,00O men, mostly unskilled. During February there was an increase of 2,500 men, which was as many new men as the yards could digest.
