SCHOOL ELECTION
STIRS INTEREST
Voters to Register Opinion
Of School District Govern
ment Today. Much Inter
est in Question.

The vote on the question of form
ing an independent school district
will be voted on by the electors of this
district today. There is a great
amount of interest in the subject but
no organization either for or against
it so far as we have been able to
learn
The matter of gratest interest rests
in the appointment of the new school
board if the question carries. The
county commissioners have the ap-
pointment and there is a great
amount of speculation as to whom
they will name. OF the large num-
ber named we have not been able to
pick probable six, though it is
stated with some color of fact that
none of the present board will be ap-
pointed to the new board, although
this is likewise guesswork.

DID PERSHING ASK
TO HAVE LEONARD

to tell him why. He was informed
that the commander-in-chief had or

explanation could be given Such was
the rigidity Of military discipline in
that case, and Il looks as IL the War

I was told at the War Department
that the whole question was a fiexi-

were involved in relieving General
Wood differing from the cases Of
Major General Barry. Major General

Not long ago General Pershing in

examination. Many failed, among
them Major General Scott. personal

Whether General Pershing believed
General Wood would make a good
division commander is a question on
which there is not much light. The
President and Secretary OF War have
thus far religiousIy followed his ad-
vice and suggestions. They have
made no pretense of military expert
ness themselves in making distinc-
tions in personnel. II General Wood
has been relieved OF his command
without any suggestion or word from
General Pershing, it will be the first
case OF that sort involving an officer

That is why the general presump-

CAR LINES CANCEL
TRIPS BECAUSE OF
LABOR SHORTAGE

Because a labor shortage has
caused the cancellation OF 7.4OT trips
on the lines OF the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company al time
when traffic is heavier than ever be-
fore in the Capitals history. the
company today is advertising for mo-
tormen and conductors, promising
such employees that they will be
cIassed as essential workers" under
the recent order Of the provost mar
shall general.
The Public Utilities Commission to-
day made known that the company
is trying 10 recruit labor from every
source OF supply.
The appeal has been made to the
college and high school boys to accept
short time rush-hour employment
each day as conductors at 81 cents
an hour. but the response has not
been liberal Further efforts are TO
be made to enlist car crews from
these sources. the plea being that
street car transportation Is so vital
to the Governments efficiency in
Washington these war years that
those who can should be willing TO
serve short runs morning and even
ing to help carry war workers to
their places OF busin"ss.
The belief il expressed that not
