TO
HELP INDEX

Wayne county teachers are asked to
assist army boards to index registrants
after the examinations, which started
Wednesday at the court house under
the direction of DR.. F. w. krueger.
County Superintendent Of schools
Williams said Wednesday that Provost
Marshal General Crowder had asked
that the teachers volunteer their serv.
ices to both the Richmond and the
Cambridge City board.
"Tbere will be about 1000 regis
trants to index" he said, "and it will
take ten teachers about four days to
complete the work" Mr.. Williams said
he probably would have charge of the
Cambridge district, while Superintend-
ent Giles would have charge of the
Richmond district.
The index. which will be made as
soon as the examinations are far
enough along to warrant working on it
and will cover AZ of the most important
facts on the questionable such as
name, birth. residence, and occupa-
tions past and present. -.
The purpose of the index is to facili-
tate the work of the board in finding
men who are especially skilled in GER
tain lines of work and placing them
where they are best adapted.

WILHELM IS
OPPOSED TO
FINISH FIGHT
Kaiser in Sympathy With Ne
gotiated Peace Movement,
Says Professor.

ROTTERDAM, Jan. 30.-Emperor
William is in sympathy with the move
ment for peace by agreement, accord
ing to Prof. Hans Delbrueck of the
University of Berlin, as quoted in an
interview with the Nieuwe Rotterdam.
sche Courant's Berlin correspondent.
Prof Delbrueck, who himself is a
peace by agreement advocate said the
warning nations were now divided into
two camps. the first comprising those,
who like Premier Lloyd George in Eng
land and Admiral Won Tirpitz in Ger
many, wanted fight to a finish, and
the second consisting Of those who,
like Emperor William, the German
government, the reichstag majority,
and the great majority Of the people
were working for negotiated peace.
Germany, declared Prof. Delbrueck,
has no thought of infringing upon the
integrity or sovereignty of Belgium,
and he regretted that Chancellor Won
Hurting in his reichstag speech did
not say SO more definitely. Nothing
was further from the chancellors in
tention that the carrying out of pol
icy of force, in Prof, Delbrueck's view.
and the masses of the people were be-.
hind him. The professor thought the
fear that Admiral Won Tirpitz might
get the power to shape things as he de-
sired was quite unfounded.
Prof. Delbrueck pointed to the furi-
GUS attacks by the Pan-Germans upon
the emperor-Something hitherto un-
heard of in Germany-as sufficient
proof of the emperor's sympathy with
a peace by agreement.

Two PEAKS
CAPTURED BY
ITALIANS IN
BIG ADVANCE
Berlin and Vienna Admit Loss
Of Important Mountain
Heights to Valiant Latin
Forces.
LONDON RAIDED AGAIN
(By Associated Press)


Italy is following up energetically
her victory over the Austrians on the
Asiago plateau. Her troops scored
new successes yesterday in capturing
and holding the important peaks of
Col Del Rosso and Monte Di Val Bella.
Both Berlin and Vienna admit the
Italian victory on this front, conceding
the loss of these valuable eminences
aud the holding of them by the Ital-
ians after they had resisted heavy
counter attacks.
The Austrians took the two positions
on December 23 last. just as their pro-
longed offensive was reaching the
limit of its extension so that they sue
ceeded in holding on there but little
more than month. The loss means
greater difficulty in any attempt they
may make hereafter to push their way
down the Frenzela valley towards Bos-
sano and the Italian plains.
The second raid OF the year, to
which London was subjected last
night, was much less serious in effect
than that Of the night previous where
AZ persons we're killed and 169 injured
This time the known casualties were
only three killed and nine injured, al
thought it is feared that six additional
deaths may be revealed by the un-
covering of bodies in the ruins Of a
house.
The raiders failed to penetrate to
the heart OF London. such bombs as
they were able to launch being dropped

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTHERN ITALY, Tuesday
Jan. 29.-Two Americans attached to
the Red Cross were killed at Mestre
Sunday night by bombs dropped by
German raiders. They were William
Platt and Richard Cults Fairfield.
The exact addresses of the two
young men are lacking, but one is be-
lieved to be from Pennsylvania and
the other from New York. They had
not enrolled in the American organiza-
tion, having enlisted previously in the
Wynne-Revan Branch of the British
Red Cross.
Platt and Fairfield had just arrived
at a Red Cross hospital on motor,
cycle when the raid began. Five bombs
fell in the courtyard of the hospital,
killing four persons and wounding a
number of patients. The Americans
were killed outright. One received a
fragment of bomb in the heart while
the other was struck by three frag-
ments, in the head, stomach and legs.
The funeral of the victims of the
raid was held at Mestre today The
long line of carriages bore t11irty-five
coffins.
