SCHOOLS OPEN
FOR FALL TERM
Enrolment May be Slightly
Less This Year Than Last
Many Pupils Working.

The public schools of this city
opened today for the 1918-1919 term.
Just what the enrolment will be this
year could not be anticipated this
morning, but II is expected that it
will not be much above the normal
of last year. No lessons were given
today, the time being spent in organ
izing the CLASSES and assigning the
pupils to their various classes,
All of the teachers rWurted for
work this morning: Alice Cladek,
|of two who are I'll. Miss Margaret
Welsch, OF the grammar school, is
seriousiy I'll with pntumonih and viii
not be able to take up her work until
October. Miss Bertha Brown, Of
School No. s, is also Ill with tpneu-
monia and will be forced to remain
from her work until November.
The following new teachers started
work. this morning: Abe Cladelx,
Rose Chechanslky. Rose Brody, Flea

In addition to Mrs. Mabel Fales,
who acted as nurse last year, two
more nurses have been secured. They
are Catherine Crossey and Sadie Laer.
Superintendent g.. e. Shull said
this morning that he thought that
the enrolment in the schools this
year would probably be slightly less
than last year owing to the large
number of pupils taking advantage Of
the high wages and remaining at
work. During the summer 147 work
ing papers were issued.
1t is expected that the exact ENROLL
ment of the schools would be learned
on Friday, when actual work on the
lessons would begin.
The primary students reported at
s:45 this morning and the grammar
school pupils reported at the game
time. The high school classes report

EMPLOYEES Of
STREET DEPT
STRIKE TODAY
Receiving Thirty-three Cents
an Hour now and Want In
crease of Four Cents
NO MONEY AVAILABLE
Matter Taken Up at Council
Meeting Last Night When
Situation Was Explained

All of the employees of the street de-
partment, with the exception OF the
operator of the motor driven sweeper
went out on a strike this morning, de-
manding an increase in wages OF -FOUR
cents an hour.
The matter of giving the employees
a raise had come before the Board OF
Aldermen at their last regular meet
ing and at that time was referred 70
the committee of the whole. Last
night at the aldermen meeting
Chairman William G. Wilson, Oh the
street committee, reported that OWING
to the financial condition OF tnat
committee it would be Impossible 70
give the men more money.
Chairman Wilson stated at the
meeting last night that some OF the
men were leaving the department. IN
order to get better salaries, but II
was not intimated that general
walkout would follow the refusal OF
the aldermen to grant them an IN
crease.
There are fifty-two men out on
strike. all az whom have been receiv-
ing thirty-three cents an hour.
The shortage of money in the street
account is explained by Chairman
Wilson, who states that $4,000 mas
been expended from the street de-
partment's appropriation this year for
public utilities, such as the repairing
of streets following the laying OF gas
lines, or repairs along trolley tracks,
and not a cent of this money has been
returned to the street committees ac-
count from which 1t was taken. Inc
money is paid back into the city treas
ury by the utility companies agalnss
whom the work Is charged, but the
street department uses the money out
of its fund and does not get any retm-
buraement. :
This expenditure of $1,000 has 90
decreased the street department.

men more money Chairman wilson

s1.85 per day to thirty-three cents an
hour. about So day.

airy of the men was raised to s.S5 per
day. During the next two years no in
crease was awarded the employees, Al
dermen John J. Clark and Chris Jor-

man Wilson had been made the head
of this committee. the mems pay was
increased to 1925 per day. On July
of last year their salary was In
creased to thirty cents an hour, q
raise of ave cents an hour and on
March 4 of this year. an additional
increase of three cents an hour was
given them. making their present
rate thirty-three cents an hour.
This last increase took effect

at the aldermen meeting last night.

would be more willing to see the men
get an increase than he, but that un-
der the present financial conditions II

Overcoming Bitter Resistance

PARIS, Sept. l:-Gen. Mangin's

last three days overcoming bitter re-
sistance by the Germans to its adj
vance in the southern area of the bat.
tlefront His forces have marked
time in some instances and at points
retreated slightly, but they have now
succeeded in getting the better Of the
enemy defense and have resumed
their slow but sure advance.
Their forward push is threatening
the fall of the important town OF
Courcy- Chateau. and its fall is
hourly expected here. The Germans,
however, are resisting the forward
movement 10 the best of their ability
as the fall OF the forest Of ST. Gobain.
which the advance is threatening,
would entail a retreat of General Won
Boehn's army to Laon. A rupture OF
the Hindenburg line in the south.
would thus be effected. and as line
already has been smashed In the

North sea TO Rheims would then be
forced.
The Paris military critic today
treats mainly of the threatening
breach in the Hindenburg line in the
north. pointing out that the enemy is
now forced TO forego the use of pre-
pared artificial defenses and to fall
back on the natural obstacles which
the writers argue are the only hope
OF the German command in the pres
ent state of disrogation among It's

The enemy, the critics show. win

natural defenses which may help him

ton is that the German stand viii be

The Primary Election.

Outside those directly inter-
ested in the outcome, there was
but little interest manifested in
the Primaries and the vote was
light. II the Republican fight
Sproul won the Governorship
nomination over O'Neil by a
sweeping majority, and Bonni-
well won over Guffy in the Dem
ocratic, which Of course, means
that Sproul will be the next
Governor. Borniwell is an out
and-out wet" man, and the
"Drys" are not any too sure
about Sproul.
In this Congressional district,
Focht was an easy winner over
Williamson for the Republican
nomination and Aucker had no
difficulty getting on the Demo-
cratic ticket, which of course,
does not mean much in this dis
trict.
This Senatorial district being
safely Republican, the fight lay
between Endsley for a nomina-
ton, and Miller, a new man. The
new man (Miller) ran on the Re-
publican, Democratic and Prohi-
bition tickets, and while we do
not have the official vote, the
chances are, that he has more
than fifty per cent Of the vote,
and is, therefore, practically ell
ected now. Miller is a good
man.
In this county, Glenn Chesnut
had a clear track for the Demo.
cratic nomination for Assembly,
and S. A. Nesbit and George A.
Comerer, put up a scrap for the
Republican nomination, with
Comerer winning the place or
