All hail the Power of Jesus name.

The greatest war in the worlds his
tory came to a close at o'clock Mon
day, after 1867 days of most bitter
struggle in which more scientifically
hideols weapons and methods of war
fare were devised than in any like per-
iod of time. Word of the signing of
the armistice by the plenipotentiaries
was received in Washington at las.
Over the wires the joyful tidings were
flashed TO all parts of the country.
Pandemonium broke loose. Every
bell, whistle and other noise making
device in the United States was soon
in active operation. Crowds paraded
the streets of the big cities in a mad
delerium of joy. The Kaiser was hung
in effegy at every country crossroads.
The premature report of the signing
of the armistice which set the country
aglow last Thursday seemed only to
whet the appetites of people for the
coming of official news. Since that
time the country has stood at atten-
ton on tip-toe. When the Viroqua
fire siren emitted preliminary yelp
at exactly three O'Clock Monday morn
ing no one needed to be told what had
happened. To Pastor Jacobson goes
the honor of being the first man to
start the music after the fire whistle
The pealing of his church bell was
closely followed by the other bells of
the city, and by $3.50 the celebration
was on in full swing. Crowds poured
onto Main street, cars brought boxes
and wood and rousing blaze soon
painted the business fronts a ruddy
glow. Automobiles dashed through
the streets to the honking of horns
and clashing of tin pans. Morning
and daylight seemed rather to increase
than diminish the din of victory's jub-
liant celebration

brought face to face win the exceed
ingly stubborn fact that being an edu-
Gator simply does not pay. This con-
clusion does not mean that the teacher
has lost sight of high and holy things
and become a money grabber 1t
means that money will not go round
and that salary is not sufficient
Artisans Are Better Paid
"1The reasons for the teachers
chronic financial shortage is found in
the fact that his employer has failed
necessary expenses and so failed to
provide an adequate increase in pay.
We must have more money or go out
of business as teachers.
"The very men who build our school
houses are better paid than the teach
ers who build the school-one O linn
tied, circumscribed shaping and CO.

the other the building of body, brain
and spirit whose influence and power
upon and over his fellow men no man
dare measure.
Plumbers, bricklayers. plasterers,
mouiders, painters, carpenters, ma
chlnists, all exceed the teacher in pay
from 20 to 30 per cent. When artisans
and laborers who but follow and obey
the plan of the master mind are paid
double the salary those who plan and
build the master mind itself, is it not
time that the Importance Of the teach

recognized, acknowledged and paid for

Brief States Teachers Case
The public schools Of New Haven, in
tho shadow of Yale University, are not
immune from the difficulty A brief
for increased salaries for the teachers
of that city sums up the problem be-
fore the teachers as follows:
Rapidly changing social and eco
nomic conditions are constantly call
ing the teachers attention to the grave
problem Of making his relatively sta
tionary salary equal his steadily in
creasing expenses. Daily the task of
making pay equal payments demanded
becomes more difficult. Daily the
teacher is reminded of his growing
lnsigniicance in the financial world
Men do not look upon the modern
teacher as a person of affairs, a person
of established place and power in the
community, but rather consider him
as a financial nonentty. He is not
known as big man, nor even con-
sldered as having any chance to be-
come such a man.

will upon the high purpose of our
calling the inspiration Of being edu-
cational leaders, the prestige that once
pertained to that word Of doubtful
modern charm, Educator we are soon

American Bar Protests
Against Mob Rule
Calls On Public to Curb Tenn
per and Permit Law to
Handle Violations

An appeal to members Of the Ameri-
can Bar Association to assist in the
preservation Of law and order in this
country during the war was issued
yesterday by the executive committee
of the association. The appeal reads
in part:
THE claim has been made, appar-
emily without any clear Justification.
that adequate measures have not been
taken to prevent espionage, sabotage
and hostile activities by enemy aliens.
Such claims have been made not only
IN public addresses, but also in the
newspaper press, and have been the
subject of editorial comment.
Such criticism and faultfnding can
not but lead to lawlessness within our
borders. The inclination induced by
such claims is an inclination on the
part OF those who are thereby moved
TO take the law into their own hands.
Ihere have been demonstrations Of
this in two or three of our common
wealths.
"Lynchings, destruction of property
and deprivation OF civic rights in any
aspect by citizens of this country when
dealing with those who are in SYM
pathy with the enemy are particularly
lamentable in the midst of war waged.
as far as the United States is concerned
for the sole purpose of establishing
right and justice and the determine
ton OF human interests by proper ju-
dicial proceedings rather than by force.
You are urged to use your influence
and power affirmatively, and by all
such means as may be at your COM
mand to accomplish the maintenance of
law and order"

and never will be conquered as long as
such tried and true men as yourselves

Pierre Mali, Belgian Consul in New

short address of welcome to the men.

Hans Lcntz, a marine artllerist in
the German navy, who explained his
presence in this country by declaring
that he was on furlough, was taken
in custody yesterday by agents of the
Military Intelligence Service, at Gro
ton, n. Y, and brought to the New
York Enemy Alien Bureau as a
suspicious enemy alien. Among his
effects the government agents found

Standard Oil Company containing COM

already sunk by submarines were
crossed off the lists.

Herman C. H. Heer, alias. Herman
Anderson, an enemy alien of 301 West
118th Street, was arraigned before
Captain Hull for entering the forbid
den water front zone without per-
NIT. He had obtained a permit by
claiming Swedish citizenship under
the alias of Anderson. He registered
twice for the selective draft, but never
returned his questionnaire.
Heer is a night watchman on a pier
and is paid thirteen dollars a week.
Among his effects was found an
elaborate wardrobe containing the very
latest style wearing apparel and a mass
of Bolshevikl literature. He mas been
entertaining layishly along Broadway.
The case probably will be turned
over to the United States attorney for
prosecution in the Federal courts
Heer is being detained at the Raymond

Claus Suhr, an enemy alien, of 999
Forest Avenue, the Bronx, was com
mitted to the Raymond Street Jail for
thirty days yesterday by Captain Hull
for entering the forbidden territory
under the Harlem River Bridge a.
149th Street. According to the FED
eral authorities he had been warned
to keep away from the neighborhood
several times. He is a reservist in
the German navy and came to this
country in 1912.
Henry Rust, of 1868 West Thirtieth
Street. was taken to the Enemy Alien
Bureau charged with acting in
suspicious manner. He followed q
captain in the United States Army on
Fourth Avenue, near Twenty-fourth
Street on Thursday night and was un-
able to explain his actions. He
registered in the alien registration, but
claimed citizenship when questioned
by the army officer. Pending an in

Growing Shortage
OF School Teachers
Fewer Enter Training lnsti-

Better Paid Occupations

The growing shortage of school
teachers, which is shown by the fact
that enrolment in the three teacher
training schools in this city is just
half what it was in 1913, is not a con-
dition peculiar to New York City.
Throughout the nation the slow re-
sponse of communities to the pleas of
underpaid teachers, who were among
the first to feel the soaring cost of
living, is one of the chief reasons why
teaching staffs are being depleted.
