CARR SAYS He WILL
APPEAL DECISION
SOUTH BAY TEACHER, FOUND
DISLOYAL BY STATE SUPER.
INTENDENT, TO FIGHT.

Appeal to the state board of edu-
cation from the decision OF Mrs.
Josephine Preston, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, revok-
ing his certificate to teach because OF
disloyalty. will be taken by Charles
R. Carr, instructor in the South Bay
school. the latter part Of this week,
according to statements made by
him following announcement of the
decision.
Carr. who has employed Attorney
Mairice Lahghorne Of Tacoma as his
counsel. assisting Geo. r. Bigelow OF
this city who represented him at the
hearing before Mrs. Preston, main
tains that he is loyal to the govern
ment. that the action against him is
malicious persecution" that the
real question involved is not his 10y
atty but the desire Of some members
Of his district to get rid Of him as
teacher. and that the County Coun-
|cil of Defense has been imposed
upon. He also intimates that suits
will be filed against those who he
claims to be responsible for the
affair.
1.-THE Council of Defense has been
made to believe that have persisted
in making disloyal statements" Carr
said in his own behalf. Tuesday even
ing. II saw l had been misunder-
stood at that Liberty Loan meeting
last October and I took O'Leary's ad-
vice-I have kept still and have
never said anything Of the kind
since"
The decision revoking Carr's GER
tificate was announced by Mrs. Pres
ton Monday evening. 1t says in part !:
"The utterance of such un-Ameri-
can and unpatriotic remarks would
have been deplorable under any cir
cumstances, but uttered by the
teacher in the schoolhouse at a pub
lie meeting called for the purpose OF
supporting the Second Liberty Loan
and in the presence of children of the
school, they are all the more deplor-
able.
"The defendants testimony aimed
to show that the remarks did not
apply specifically to the present war
and that the motive for their express
sion was pacihstic; but his own tes-
timony also clearly showed that,
although the meeting was called to
help the government of the United
States In the present war. the re-
marks were not qualified to exclude
the present war; and whatever the
motive in uttering them might have
been. any other inference was i'm
possible than that they specifically
applied to the present war between
the government and people of the
United States and the German gov
ernment.
THE defendants attempts to ex-
plain that these remarks, which he
admits he made. were inspired by a
religious aversion to killing in no
way mitigates their unpatriotic and
un-American character.
From the evidence in the case and
the testimony Of the defendant him.
self, can come to no other conclu-
sion than that his conduct in making
remarks detrimental to the interests
OF the government is such unprofes-
sional conduct that his right to teach
in the public schools of the state of
Washington should be revoked"

the whole question of joint programme
both as TO production and operation was

places Il at the disposal Of the COM

ton Of the war.

the cause Of more worry to me than
anything else because all Of the allie q
nations were demanding more Of them

used the Liberty engine in their own

considerable extent upon obtaining a

slider the success of the United States

French are now putting the Liberty mo-
tor In planes that formerly carried en-
gines of either q heavier weight or

Il can safely say that the Liberty
engine with It's high power combined
with .lightness has greatly increased the
efficiency of some OF the planes that the
Allies have been using at the front for
some time. Their representatives even

Let Him Live

AS long as flowers their perfume

Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian

With nothing TO quench his awful
thirst,
But the salted brine of Scotch
| mans curse.
l would let him live on a dinner each
day,
Served from silver on a golden tray
| Served with things both dainty and
sweet
| Served with everything but things to
eat.
And I'd make him bed of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
/ With covers of down and fillets of
lace,
And Gowny pillows piled in place;
| Yet when to its comfort he would
| yield,
1t should stink with rot of the bat
! tlefield,
And blood and bones and brains of
Should cover him. smother him-and
/ then
His pillows should cling with the rot

i Cloy from the grave of a soldier boy.
| And while Gods stars their vigils
keep,
And while the waves the white sand
sweep,
! He should never, never, never sleep.
And through all the days, through all
the years.
There should be an anthem in his
ears,
| Ringing and singing and never done
| From the edge of light to the set of
sun,
| Moaning and moaning and moaning

A ravaged French girls bastard child
And would build him a castle by the
sea,
/ As lovely a castle as ever could be;
! Then I'd show him a ship from over
the sea,
! AS fine ship as ever could be,
! Laden with water cold and sweet,
! Laden with everything good to eat;
/ Yet scarce does she touch the sill
I vered sands,
/ Scarce may he reach his eager hands,
! Than hot and Il hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell,
/ And though he'd watch on the wave
swept shore,
/ Our Lusitania would rise no more.
In mo Mans Land" where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the Kaiser a private he'll;
! I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground
glass;
I'd march him out where the brave
boys died
Out past the lads they crucilied.
In the fearful gloom of his living
tomb,
