Expert Praises Boxing
Less Brutality in Ring Than in
Audience, Rotarians Hear

The aesthetic side of boxing was
presented yesterday by Alpheus Geer,
Of the Marshall Stillman Association,
Nutley, N. j., to $50 members Of the
New York Rotary Club. at the McAlpin
Hotel Mr.. Gecr, who has been teach
ing boxing in several army canton
ments, gave threc-round exhibition
of shadow boxing.
''In the boxing game there is moro
brutality outside the ring than there is
On the inside" Mr.. Geer said. 81 have
sometimes shivered at the bloodthrsty
grunts and growls that cone from the
audience when some poor devil who
didn't have a chance in the world was
allowing himself to be beaten up for
50 or $40.
"What the boxing game needs is to
be brought under proper auspices. and
that, l believe, is what Governor
Whitman will try to do. A boxing
match does not need to excite the spec
tators' brutality, even if there is
blood. l wouldn't have missed for

/ eacher Accused
AS Disloyal Gets
Another Chance
Miss Levine Repentant, Es.
capes With Reprimand;
Miss Pignol Suspended

The campaign to align New York
school teachers in the win -the-war pro-
gramme is rapidly assuming definite
shape. Simultaneously rigorous means
are being taken to stamp out all sug-
gestions of disloyalty in the schools.
Yesterday Acting City Superinten-
dent Gustave Straubenmuller sent for
nal notice of suspension to Miss Ger
trude A. M Pignol. the instructor of
German at Manual Training High
School who has admitted holding pro-
German views. A notice Of admonition
on the loyalty score was also sent to
Miss Florence Levine, teacher at
Public School 168, Throop Avenue and
Bartlett Street, Brooklyn.
MISS PiGnol, who declared. among
other Teutonic sounding sentiments,
that this country is not democracy
and this is not popular war" was not
at her home, 40 South Portland Ave
nue., Brooklyn, yesterday 1t was said
there that she is out of town for an in
definite time, that she has not engaged
counsel, and apparently has no inten-
ton of combating the charges against
ner when her case comes up for formal
trial before the next meeting of the
Board of Education.
MISS Levine, on the other hand, who
IS much younger woman-a mere slip
OF glrl--was all for repentance. Sus-
picion had been attracted to her be-
cause of her refusal to aid in Liberty
bond entertainments at Public School
81, where she was formerly stationed,
or to work in the furtherancc of the
schools food conservation campaign.
An avowed pacifst, Miss Levine was
also accused Of having said that she
was not in favor of the United States
winning the war over Germany.
AT her examination before the
Teachers Council, however, Miss Le-
vine strenuously denied most of the
clared that "the Russian situation has
changed everything, anyhow" So, in
view of her extreme youth and the fact
that the flag was saluted in class and
Red Cross work carried actively for
ward, it was decided to give her an
other trial, with the recommendation
that she become more conversant with
American history, standards and
ideals"
Meanwhile the lecture series for the
benefit Of New York teachers being
given the the National Patriotic Edu
cation Faculty went briskly forward

Will Called Forgery
Surrogate Will Send Ranger
Records to Swami

Surrogate Fowler decided yesterday
to send to the District Attorney the
complete record of the probate pro-
ceedings in the case of the will of
Henry w. Ranger, landscape painter,
whose estate amounts to about $3.50 900.
Included will be the will which was ad-
mitted to probate in which the fortune
was left in trust Tor the National Acad-
emy of Design and the document which
named his sister, Miss Edith +. Ranger,
as beneficiary for life
The latter instrument. according to
Miss Rangers counsel, is the artists
last will. Martin w. Little.on, counsel
for the executors Of the estate, has
declared it to be a forgery, and Charles
n. WeXlcr, an attorney Of Stamford
Conn.,, in whose office it was drawn
has made an affidavit which casts doubt
upon the authenticity of the document
In sending the papers to District At
torey Swami the Surrogate will make
no recomm endation.

Statement ON War

LONDON, March 20.-The first step
IN carrying out the plans for an inter
national working class policy, Camille
Huysmans, secretary of the Socialist In
ternatIonal, nnounced to day, would be
10 give clear statement on inter-
Allied policy TO American workers and
TO show them that the policy is essen
TALLY IN harmony with that of Presi
dent Wilson. In the meantime the in
ter-Allied Socialist memorandum on
war aims will be forwarded to German
Austrian and Bulgarian Socialists
through Socialist parties in neutral
countries.
Huysmans considers it likely that
inc Soclallst organizations in enemy
countries viii agree upon common
policy or will make separate state
ments on the lines of the intcr-Allied
memorandum. If these show certain
agreements, the proposal for a general
ooclallst congress will be put into oper-
aI'on. All parties would be REPRESENT

9s' tuc organ OIL the Ger

Alfred memorandum, Huysmans said
That 1T only implied that the German
SOCIALISTS feel themselves to be more
helpless in the face of the government
than the British and French Social;sts
do before theirs. The Socialists in
Great Britain and France, he added,
iecl they are able to fight for their
IDEAS, but the German Socialist ma
Jorlty shows spirit of greater resig-
nation, and has shown it for more than
Q year. 'N''
Huysmans said the important oues-

several times in his speech, at which
Senator King interrupted to explain
that there was no idea Of prosecution
in the matter and that the hearings
were held simply to afford more light
on the question as to whether the
charter should be taken from the all

Legislation which had been introduced
into the Senate by himself had been
proposed by German-Americans and
members of the Alliance who believed
the Alliance was trying to maintain an
