The value of the enemy owned
property which the government has
seized, and which will be sold when
the bill just passed the Senate shall
have been put through the House,
Is roughly estimated at $1,000, ,000,-
900. The amount derived from the
sale will be credited 10 the German
Government, but will b esubject to
claims for indemnit'es and damages
which the United States will file
against Germany AZ the conclusion
Of the war. The threat Of Germany
TO eonfscate American property will
affect only a few millions Of dollars
In comparison.

Week In Frankfort
Supt. Foster A Member.

The legislative committee of the
X. z. A. appointed last April during
the Kentucky Educational Associa.
tion meeting in Louisville spent the
whole Of last week in Frankfort
promoting the school legislation
which had been outlined as exceed
ingly important and rery urgent at
this time in order to meet the ex-
treme necessities existing in our
schools
Supt l.. + Foster Is n member Of
the committee and spent last week in

vice in having these laws passed. He

Summary Of Important School Laws
just Enacted.
No. /. Salary of teachers. The
Kentucky Legislature has just passed
law fixing the minimum salary for
teachers in second class schools at
$4,000. In order to meet this in
crease in salary, the length Of the

the law further provided that unless
the state funds are sufficient TO meet
those salaries, that the length Of the
school term shall be reduced 10 six
months, but that whenever the State
funds are adequate, the school term
may be extended TO seven months and

This same bill rearranged pay day

urday in September as the first pay
day instead Of the second Saturday
in October, provided for in the old
law. II further provides that on or
before the first Of each month, be-
fore pay day, the State Treasurer
shall issue checks for teachers sal
aries in the various co. and in case
the funds are not available, he shall

ers to be paid promptly on each pay |
day.
No. 2. School ceasus. The age of |
school children has been changed |
from Q TO 20 to to Is. The law
provides, however, that any one who
is in school, either common or high |
school when they reach lS may con
tinue until they have completed the
full course Of study.
This new law will reduce slightly
the number Of pupils in each district,
but willalso produce a larger per
but will also produce a larger per
attendance based on the census for
the County and State.

OFF
 UNTIL AUGUST 26

WASHINGTON, July 13.-National prohibition legislation was postponed by congress today until August 26. at least. In arranging for a mid summer vacation, a formal unanimous consent agreement was entered itno by the senate to defer until August 26 further consideration of the s11,000,000 emer- gency food production bill, containing the amendment for "bone dry" war time prohibition, effective New Years day As a part of the agreement, however the prohibition advocates secured the definite pledge that the bill shall have the right of way when the vacation re- cess period of the senate ends.
 Senators on both sides of the fight expressed complete satisfaction with the arrangement made after many days spirited negotiation. The pro hlbltlon advocates are confident that they have majority to keep in the bill some kind of a drastic war time ! production provision soon after the va cation ends. On the other hand, the opponents are hopeful that during the coming weeks there may be develop- ments to defeat or modify the legisla- | tion
 Some senators heard during the day that President Wilson may take a hand in the fight next month. This report said he favors a proposal to give nm the authority and discretion to finally determine, under all conditions whether prohibition is desirable, and IS inclined to oppose any action ma terlally reducing internal revenues.

Won Hindenburq, Alive or Dead

We do not know yet whether Paul von Benecken- dorff und Hindenburg is dead Rumors of his illness and death which have been afoat for three months are now followed by definite announcement, of his death by Amsterdam newspaper The first story of the death of Won Hndenburg appeared about the time of the beginning of the March offensive. Whether not it circulated in Germany is not known. German papers took notice of it, but from time to time mention made by them of von Hndenburgs movements and utterances. Only yes- terday morning Associated Press dispatch taincd part of a recent Hndenburg interview printed in the Cologne Gazette
 Von Hndenburg Cor is) seventy one years of age. not old for military leader General Foch is nearly old. The place Von Hndenburg occupies Germany is not very clear Three years before the outbreak of the European he had retired from the army, having incurred the displeasure of the emperor On account of his familiarity with East Prussia Che born at Posen) he recalled and given supreme command against the Russians. His great victory Tannenberg and subsequent victories on the Russian front, established him as military hero
 Whether he has been more popularly regarded in Germany than abroad the incarnation the Prus- sian military spirit cannot be said Within the last two years have understood that he was all pow erful. and that all great military movements have been directed by him. though General Ludendorf has been regarded by experts the real military direc- tor. the panner of all important movements and certain extent Von Hindenburs has been looked upon figurehead though most influential
 Non Iindenbrug, while nominaly general oberst" appears to have exercised actual command after the Russians driven out of Poland in 1915. Though his has been associated with all opera tions the eastern front the final campaign which Russia and Rumana broken seems have been solely directed by Won Mackensen. Von Hindenburg first distinguished himself as subatern in the with Austria. Four years later he served in minor capacity with some distinction X in the Franco -Prussian But his real military education not begun until two years after that [ war
 The death of Won Hindenburg would probably not have a direct immediate effect upon the war To what extent. if any it would affect morale the German people outside the army cannot be said but in the it would probably increase the morale the other side for Won Hindenburg had become boge to the allies in about the degree which he had become an object of military worship by the German populace

MT. McAdoo and Our Climate

Phoenix owes a debt of gratitude to MT. McAdoo, or perhaps rather to the railroad under him who tell him how to direct railroads and get him to do things which they afraid to do themselves when they were running the roads. They were afraid of the people and of each other. They were afraid fix higher rates for the people were already greatly 'het up' against the roads. Anyway the railroad administration should be the recipient of the gratitude of Phoenix for the delightful climate enjoying; or else for our self adjustment to the climate Many of us who in years past felt we could not stand the Salt River valley climate, or, at least T part of it, say two weeks month of it some between June and August l. find this year that it is quite bcarabe thanks again the railroad admin lstration
 It doesn't make half hot to stay here and see the summer through as it does to think of paying full legal mileage, with the per cent tax added to which is to be added the Pullman fare with still 10 per cent more computed the whole thing. In com parison with that, find the midsummer climate of the Salt River valley equable and almost frigd.
 Then again. we miss the railroad summer posters pictures of the seashore with it's human mermaids baskng the beach, illustrating what can be accomplished in conservation of clothing. We do not sec the cooling mountain tops and placld lakes and inviting trout streams. There none of these things to lure away from own old reliable climate. Psychology lend it's aid to dissatisfy us with temperature of anywhere from 100 to 11O in the shade Blessed be MT. McAdoo for the removal of all these temptations which in the past have sailed morals and purses We shall have more money at the end of the and shall not return then out with strenuous vacations
 The Salt River valley too, will gain better repu tation abroad. Throngs of Phoenicians at coast points will be there to advertise degree of heat home which exists only in their imagination which they offer pretext for anything.
