Change in Government
Head Unlikely Despite
Growing Criticism
Press Is More Hostile
designations Of Northcliffe
and Others Have Hurt
Premier's Prestige
By Arthur S. Draper
(Tribune Gable servicc)

LONDON, April 27.-The political
situation has become decidedly unset
tied. To-day Premier Lloyd George had
a prolonged audience with King George
Political changes of the first import
ance are expected shortly.
:, Largely because no statesman cares
to accept the responsibility of the Pre-
miership at the moment, unless it is
thrust upon him, it is considered un-
likely that there will be a change in
the government On the other hand,
it is equally true that Lloyd George
has suffered many heavy political blows
in the last month, the greatest of
which is the course Lord Northcliffe
who made him Premier, has elected to
follow. Northcliffe is not the critic,
not the defender, of the government.
The loss of Rhondda, Rothermere and
Sir Edward Carson, and the forced
designations of Robertson, Jellicoe and
Trenchard, together with the horrible
muddle over Ireland, are all calculated
to.weaken greatly the prestige of the
government. -.
With one section of the press blam-
ing the Premier for the military re-
verses, another attacking his Irish
policy, and third opposing him be-
cause of his attitude toward Russia
and Japan, Lloyd George finds his
newspaper supporters have dwindled
sadly in the last few weeks.
On Monday the debate over the res;g-
nation OF Trenchard from the air ser
vice Will be held in Parliament. Little
may come of it, but it may serve as a
test of the governments strength.
Soon the governments Home Rule
measure must be introduced in the Com
mons. Already the opponents of Home
Rule are beginning q newspaper cam

Schmidt, Prosecutor Plummer was also
informed, had given her consent to the
Detroit authorities for Schmidt's
daughter to take charge of the funeral
arrangements when she learned that
in SO doing. she would not jeopardize
her dover rights to the dead mans es-
tate.
So far as the local authorities have
been able to learn thus far. there was
never any suspicion attached to
Schmidt during the years he resided
here, save at the time of the purported
return of his wife to Germany. The
talk at that time, however, was very
indefinite, and no real attempt was
made to investigate the circumstances.
Schmidt was believed to be a grad

here recall his pointing out the scars
on his face, which he said resulted

Issued request to the people of the

great deal of attention by house own

Mr.. E. H. Green, manager Of the

THE people of Bridgeport have
shown their patriotism in many ways,
and have opened up their homes to
war workers coming here from other
cities, so that they may be provided
with comfortable rooms, while they
are employed here. The United
States Homes Registration Service
has on its lists a great many rooms
for the single man or woman, who
may come to this city. What is
needed are rooms for the married men
and women, and especially those who
have children. There are scores OF
married men with children who must
be accommodated in the near future
and what they need are comfortable

BIG AUDIENCE
IS ENTHUSED
BY RABBI Wise

The patriotic rally held yesterday
at Beardsley park was attended by a
large crowd who cheered the speaker,
Rabbi Stephen F. Wise of New York,
repeatedly.
Rabbi Wise particularly singled out
the Americans who, like himself, are
Of foreign birth, and spoke of their
duty to the country of their devotion,
and of their efforts to help win the
war. He said that while Germany
is ready to quit, that America is just
beginning to show her possibilities,
and that Bridgeport was one of the
most important cities in the country
The duty of every man and woman
in Bridgeport, he pointed out, is to
work tirelessly to back up the army.
The crowd was packed as close as
possible to the platform, and broke
out into applause continuously. He
is very distinguished looking man, a
little above the average height with
dark hair, mixed with grey, which he
wears a little long. For about 3
month he has been working in a
Stamford ship yard, and he will soon
GO to Camp Devens for work among
the enlisted men. Later, he will tour
the country in the interest of the COM
ing Liberty Loan drive.

BILINGUALISM
IN MANITOBA
Serious Trouble Practically
Settled During the Last
Two Years

One of the most welcome of recent
domestic developments in Canada is
the eminently satisfactory working
out in the Province of Manitoba of
the much debated bilingual question.
1t is a question which has exercised
the various provinces in Canada for
many years, and one on which con-
troversy has. at times grown heated.
AS long as it was only question of
two languages, English and French,
the defects of the system were not so
apparent, but as Canada began to re-
cetve from the countries of Continental
Europe, a steady stream Of immi-
grants, the problem of maintaining
the right of the child accorded in the
education laws to be educated in the
language of it's fathers and at the
same time to be instructed in English
became increasingly difficult of solu-
ton.
1t was just over two years ago that
Manitoba cut the Gordian knot by
abOlishing the bilingual clause in its
Education act, and commenced the
great work of establishing the idea of
English and English only" as a
channel of instruction throughout the
Province. These two years have been

UNCLE SAM AND THE
CHINESE STUDENT
(By William Hung in World Outlook
for August, 1919

(By William Hung in World Outlook
for August, 1879
One of the characteristics of the
Chinese is an unwillfngness to travel.
With the student class, however, there
is an exception. Scholars from the
earliest times have been proud of
carrying their book boxes for a thou
sand miles in order to find a good
teacher. Confucius had 5000
students from all parts Of the coun-
try. Mencius travelled from one place
to another with dozens of carriages
and hundreds of followers.
Similarly, when modern Japan rose
to her power, there was an exodus of
Chinese students to japanese unTvsr-
stiles. But ever since the i'll feeling
between Japan and China few years
ago, there has been a steady declire
in the number of Chinese students in
the Island Empire, and in the mean
time, the tide of Chinese students
turned toward America.
Today the latest student directory,
which. however has many omissions,
shows number of 1,124 Chinese stu
dents in this country, distributed
among 169 institutions in 20 states.
Of these 1,124, 999 are men and 125
women.
In China a college students annual
budget ranges from SIS to $30O,while
in the United States a Chinese stu
dent spends annually from $40O to
| $1,000 for his education. That is
why there are now thousands, instead
of hundreds, of students. Among the
1924 Chinese students, 165 are sup
ported with Chinese government
funds, 294 with the Tsing-Hua schol-
arships, a sum of money from the
partially returned Boxer Indemnity
and 20 are supported with Rockefel-
Ter Foundation scholarships.
Among the remaining 665, few
are members of wealthy families n

ly aided by their American friends, OIL
are working their way through

consideration, it may be safely sale
that about half the Chinese students
in this country owe the finance o:
their education to Uncle Sam.

communities to become a missionary
of a higher standard of living and
gradually to break down the hundred
and one barriers to progress in the
form Of tradition and custom, which
so many of these people bring over
with them and pass on to their chill
dren.
All this is eminently satisfactory,
but there is one matter which calls
for comment, and that is the question
of salaries. 1t is true that from time
immemorial teachers have been mad
equately paid, but that is, of course
no reason why they should continue
to be; but, on the contrary, a very
strong reason why they should cease
| to be. One instance will be sufficient.
For the evening classes, which these
| teachers hold three nights week and
| which last two hours, the teacher is
paid by the Education Department 81
| a night, or so cents an hour, or about
| 80 per cent. less than the avera ee
workman. And this is counting only
the time actually spent in the class
room. 1t is time that some education

| hands, broke away from this relic of
barbarism, and paid its teachers ade-
| uuately. Manitoba might honorablv

COMMONS TO
Send MINISTERS

London, Aug. 1.-THE government
announces that it has been decided to
grant each dominion the right to send
a minister to London as a member of
the Imperial War Cabinet at meetings
other than those attended by the
prime ministers. India also will be
represented at these meetings.
The prime ministers of the domin-
sions have beeen given the privilege
of communicating direct with the
British Prime Minister instead Of
through the Governor General or Co.

is regarded as step toward giving
the dominions a greater voice in the

COMMUNITY SINGING
AT PATRIOTIC RALLY
HIGHLY COMMENDED

Much commentator was heard to-
day of the community singing at the
patriotic service in connection with
the band concert at Beardsley park
yesterday. This was due in large
measure to the pleasing response to
the Bridgeport War Bureaus appeal
for men singers to help, and the war
bureau expresses its appreciation to
those who answered the call.
It is hoped that they will make this
a habit and that others will join with
them in helping TO make the song fea-
ture of the services Sundays one of
the most enjoyable. The sight of sew
eral thousand persons entering enthu-
siastically into this portion of exer-
cises and the blending of the voices
was inspiring to both the speakers
and those who composed the audience.
