German Barred in Newark

NEWARK, N. j., May 27.-The Board
of Education met tonight and voted
that no new classes in German would
be started in the public schools here.
The action was taken unanimously on
a motion by Peter A. Cazucchia.
1t was decided that those of the
students who had already begun the
study of the language would be allowed
to continue it throughout the entire
course. if desired. No other German
classes will be organized, however.
The question of what language is to be
substituted will be taken up at another
meeting.
Questionnaires have been sent to the
teachers of the Newark school system,
inquiring into their loyalty and atti-
trde toward the war.

Ministry Indicates 1t Is
Prepared for Any Move
by Opposition
Sniping Is Expected
Lloyd George, However, Is
in Stronger Position Than
at Last Session
By Arthur S. Draper
{ spee;ul Cable to The Tr,baxe

Especial Cable to The TrtbaHe)
LONDON, May 2s.-Parliament will
reassemble tomorrow after the Whit
suntide recess with every prospect of
lively session. It is expected that
the question Of the arrest of the Irish
prisoners and the Governments posi-
tion regarding Home Rule and Con-
scription will be raised tomorrow, but
it is unlikely that there will be any
plan to remain in ireland through the
week at least.
The wording of the governments
whip indicates that the ministry in
tends to be prepared for any move
on the part of the opposition. Joseph
Devlin's avowai of pacifst sentiment
is highly pleasing to the English
pacifists, who will naturally recipro-
cate by lending their support to the
Nationalist.
Devlin's attitude IS extremely inter
esting, as no Irishman worked harder
in Ireland had died down, Devlin
worked among his followers at Belfast
and was always able to raise recruits
for the army.
David Lloyd George starts the pres
ent session of Parliament under hap
pier circumstances than last time it
met, but there is certain to be at least
one division during the coming weeks.
What happens in France will prove
the controlling factor in the political
situation here
Political sniping is certain to be
resumed early in the session. but
Lloyd George is in as strong a posi-
sion as he could expect at this period
with the army on the defensive
The opposition processes to see
marked change in the governments
policy, as indicated, by the recent
ministerial utterances regarding Rus
sia and peace. Anything which draws
the opposition towards the govern
ment must sncrease the efficiency of
the national war machine and thereby
strengthen the alliance
The peace-at-any-pric advocates are
probably weaker than they were a year
ago. The military alliance of Great
Britain and the United States is grow
ing closer every day, and it is only
natural that their political policies
should harmonize.

combination OF German and Bolsheviki
influence OF the Lenine brand.
Secretary of War Baker announced
to-day that the Thirty first Regiment Of
United States regular troops had arrived
at Vladivostok from Manila. The TWEEN
ty-eighth is already there. and the ad-
ditional troops from the United States
will be there shortly together with
Major-Gen. Graves, who will have COM
mand OF the American forces on Rus
sian soil. Meanwhile an important in
ternational move looking to coordinate
the efforts of the Allies and the United
states in Russia has begun. 1t has been
decided to establish two internat ional
councils one ut Archangel and the other
at Fladlvostok.
The council OF Vladivostok will be
made up Of five high officials Sir
Charles Eliot will represent Great Brit
AIN Eugene Regpault. former Ambassa-
dor to Japan. will represent France, and
Japan will be represented BY MIR Mat
suda!ra. The American representativ
has not yet been named.
The council at Archansel will be pre-
sided over by David r. Francis Ameri-
can Ambassador to Russia. He Is dean
OF the diplomatic corps there. The En-
tente nations will be represented by their
respective Ambassadors at the council.
Until an American representative Is
named for the Vladlvostok council Ameri-
can Consul Caldwell will have charge OF
this nations interests.
Reports have not yet been received
showing just what work these councils
will undertake, but. in a general way,
they will relieve the military leaders
operating from Vladivostok and in the
Archangel area OF all non military work.
The councils will seek to aid In the re-
establishment OF civil government in
regions In a state Of chaos as a result
OF the Bolsheviki sham reforms.
1t probably will be necessary to OBJ
tain more stability in various sections OF
Russia before any GOOD can come from
the efforts of industrial missions seek
ing to help the Russians. Because of
this lack OF stability the American Com
mission to Russia. which was to be
made UP OF business men, has been
indefinitely postponed.
