ceptance Of Resignation.

president Of the board. The letter
also said that he had sent the usual
form of communication to the Su-
preme Court of the District of Co

that it could consider the matter until
1t was properly brought before it by
the Supreme Court.
1t developed today that'the Supreme
Court has not Yet received the letter
OF resignation from DR.. Van Schaick.
Excerpts from DR.. Van Schaick' s
letter to the board follow:
Some time ago ! authorized the
justices to accept my resignation.
In spite of all the handicaps in
volved IN service upon the board of
education the opportunities were so
great that l cannot think of laying
down my part in it without realizing
that am sacrificing one Of the best
opportunities of my life for public
work. / believe that 1t is one of the
big fundamental jobs Of Washington
and OF every other community in the
world.

position without asking me to pretend
TO do officially what it is physically
impossible to do over 5000 miles

BRITAIN WILL NOT YIELD
HER NAVAL supremacy
Churchill States Position While De.
claring Nation Does Not Want
Return Of Helgoland.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. Wednesday, December
4.-The British naval authorities have
decided that it will be unnecessary
to demand the return Of Helgoland
to Great Britain from Germany, VIM
ston Spencer Churchill, the minister
Of munitions, announced in a speech
at Dundee tonight.
Mr.. Churchill also said the gov
eminent had decided upon the ma
tionalization of the railways.
1--WE enter the peace conference"
said MIR. Churchill during the course
of his address, with the absolute
determination that no limitation snail
be imposed on our right to maintain
our naval defense. We do not IN,
tend, no matter what arguments and
appeals are addressed to us, to lend
ourselves In any way to any letter
ing restrictions which will prevent
the British navy maintaining Its well
tried and well deserved supremacy.
The Island of Helgoland, formerly
Danish. was coded to Great Britain
in 1914. In 1890 Great Britain ceded
it to Germany, who began developing
it into an extremely important naval
base. It lies in the North sea, on
the mouths of the Elbe and Weser
and of the entrance to the I<iel canal,
which it dominates. The island was
a German naval stronghold through
out the great war. It's Occupation
by the allies was under conslderatioll
shortly after the signing OF the
armistice, when the German naval
revolution made it appear doubtful II
Germany would comply with the
naval terms of the armistice. THESE.
however, seem since to have been
fulfilled nearly in their entirety.

Disease in Wars Wake.

1.-THE wake of the war will, how
ever, reveal the prevalence of disease
and give rise to emergencies which, in
I'll parts of the world will call for I'M
limited voluntary effort, the cutting of
red tape and the manifestation of
those qualities of human sympathy
which government action cannot dis
play.
Here will be the opportunity for
the american Red Cross. But even
our Red Cross cannot act most ef-
fcctively alone; We must labor in
co-operation with the National Red
cross and relief societies of other
nations.

The war program Of the American

RESERVED SEATS
FOR CONCERT TO
Be FIFTY CENTS

All reserved seats for the Zimbalist
violin recital at the Coliseum next
Monday night will be sold for so cents.
There will be none sold for more
than this-and there are 700 reserved
seats in the 81 and So season ticket
sections at this price-and tickets in
the gallery will be sold for % cents.
This decision was reached Wednes-
day night at a meeting of the commit
tee which will direct the affairs of the
reorganized Peoples Music Course for
the remainder of the season. This
committee is composed of r. B. Jones.
George II. Eggemeyer and Walter B.
Fulghum Of the Commercial club and
Forrest Davis and w. B. Martin of the
Peoples Music Course.
The idea of the popularizing OF
prices for the Zimbalist and Evan Will
Jams concerts is to stimulate interest
in the finish of the season SO it can
be finished without a deficit.
By making this reduction in price
the promoters foreswear all chance at
any profits and if the Coliseum is
crowded for both recitals the finances
will be placed on a substantial basis
and success of course next season
assured
The move will bring to the people Of
Richmond and Eatern Indiana an op-
portunity unparalleled in musical his
tory in that they will be able to buy
the choicest seats in a hal for recitals
by one of the very greatest violinists
in the world and by a reigning favor
ite among American tenors.
The sale of seats on this popular
basis opened Thursday morning at
Fulghum's Victrola Shop, 1000 Main
street, and many persons availed them
selves of the rare opportunity during
the day. Telephone or mail orders
are filled promptly.
The following statement was Issued
by the committee:
THE purchasers Of the season tick
cts for the Peoples Music Course have
made It possible for Richmond to pre-.
sent to its citizens and it's friends in
the surrounding towns an array OF
musical concerts, attempted by very
few cities in the United States. With
out the support given by the purchas-
ers of the season tickets it would have
been impossible for us to have heard
the magnificent concert given by the
Cincinnati Symphony. the splendid
piano and voice recital by Nero and
Murphy, and the triumph of Alma
Gluck.
The changing of the price for the
single admissions on the two remain.
ing concerts, namely Zimbalist, the
worlds celebrated violinist, and Even
Williams, the great American Welsh
tenor. is an honest endeavor to finish
the present course in blaze of glory
prove that if the promoters Of this
proposition can get capacity houses
that the price Of season tickets for
future operations can be made much
lower and a deficit avoided. The
community is under obligations to the
purchasers of the season ticket"

QUEEN OF ITALY
 LAUDS RED CROSS
Officially Thanks Organization
 for Efforts in Her Country

Genoa, Italy, January 30 (Corre- spondenco of The Associated Press). From Queen Helena of Italy, the American Red Cross committee for Genoa has received telegram OK pressing her appreciation and that Of King Emmanuel for it's high and benefcent work in opening Q can~ teen and refreshment place in the railroad station at Genoa. The Genoa committee was organized early in No- vemb Der, erected a chalet in the sta ton yard and served as many as six hundred refugees in Q single night, during the height of the Teutonic in vasion.
 Now that the influx of refugees has decreased, the scope of tho canteen work has eXranded to include Italian. British and French soldiers passing through.
 Tho new work was formally in augurated this week in the presence of municipal and army auth critics. Paul Grosjean, manager of the Genoa branch of @ New York bank and chairman of the local committee, spoke in behalf of the wholo Red Cross organization in Italy. A Bel SltiI, lie Has SIlluSldSllCdllN uuucE~ taken the Amerilan work.
 'The small nations. overwhelmed by the barbarian, have stronger faith than ever," he said. "This is an cx- ample to us. To these little nations have come in aid the great nations in an outpouring of high idealism of justice. The American Red Cross represents the spirit of humanity that animates the entire American people. It has given immediate aid to unfor- tunates forced to abandon their homes. It works throughout Italy in harmony with the country's institu- tiOns. It intensfies the bonds of Soli- darity and sympathy between the two countries. Out of the awful struggle 9 good has come. Nations understand each other, draw nearer together, and strengthen their friendly relations. The American Red Cross and the Italian Red Cross will work togeth CT in a holy mission of giving comfort and aid''
 Consul General David T. Wilber expressed Americas appreciation of cordial collaboration shown by citi- zens of Genoa. The mayor of Genoa responded warmly for the civilian au- thorities and General Garione for the military.
 American, Italian and Red Cross flags were flying, and the station was thronged with cheering crowd"

He calls or radical measures to war indebtedness.
 Norden contrasts with the policy of Germany, which, as is known, has not provided even enough increased taxation to meet the interest on it's war debt and is paying a part of the interest coupons of earlier war loans from new borrowings with that Of Great Britain, which, he points out. had raised by taxation almost twenty five per cent. of it's war expenditures down to the end of 1917.
 The argument that a heavier taxa the bulk of the nominal increase in Gernaany's capital, would interfere with the productiveness of German industry and the fear that increased taxation of incomes would kill the war-Willingness of the population are dismissed as unfounded. In fact Mr Norden argues, to attack the abnor- mally high war incomes attained in certain industries and by certain elc- ments of the population would be of decided value in putting down the high cost of living resulting from the extrava gant standards Of life among the war protiteers.
 Norden cites the action of the American government in esta blishing maximum prices for steel and other raw materials of war industry and in
