forcing Vagrancy Laws.

discussing these subjects. The Fed
eral government is vitality interested
in this matter and its representatives
are prepared to give valuable assist
ance in the solution Of the great
labor problem that confronts the
State"

TRICKS HUN OFFICERS
British Courier Gets Help From
the Enemy.
Handle Confidential British Dispatches,
but They Do Not
Know Ii.

London. Two German officers re-
Gently handled more than dozen cases
OF confidential British dispatches, but
they did not know it.
The story is one of the many adyen-
turous incidents which befall that Sc
lect body of British public servants
who wear silver greyhound in their
buttonhole and are known as kings
messengers. Many imagine that any,
one who carries dispatches for the
British government is kings messen-
ger. This is not correct. There are
only five men who hold commissions in
that service. The others are merely
admiralty courfers or war office cour-
iers and have no right to the higher
title.
The particular messenger who out
witted the two German officers was
burdened with II bags of dispatches
for British embassy, and he had to
change trains at night at station in
neutral country, His heap OF bag
gage was near the sleeping compart-
ment when his train drew near, but
there was no porter available. He had
only put five of the bags into the COM
partment when the warning whistle
was sounded that the train was start
ing.
The messenger was in a dilemma.
He could not let the five bags go with
out him, nor could he leave the other
dozen on the platform. At that mo-
ment he caught sight of two German
cavalry officers. 1t was a risk to speak
to them, but in his best South German
dialect and with his face in shadow he
requested their help. They were less
naughty than the average German of
fieer and each one lent hand.
The last bag was bundled aboard
with the train already in motion, and
| the messenger waived his thanks, then
locked the door and collapsed on the
nearest seat.

FEAR TEACHER FAMINE
Shortage Is Noted in Various
Parts of Country.
Decreased Enrolment in Normal
Schools and designations May
Bring Crisis.

New York.-The United States is
facing famine of public school teach
ers. The schools in various parts of
the country are already suffering
from shortage of teachers. Men and
women in noticeable numbers, reports
from different sections say, are re-
signing their positions In the schools
to take up other kinds of work. But
the worst of the situation, as it is ex-
planned by DIR. William 81. Allen, who
has been a leading student of school
problems for many years. is the GER
tainty of greatly increased shortage
in, the future, as evidenced by the fall
ing off in enrollments in teachers
training schools.
There never was a time when good
public school teachers were needed
as they are now and as they will be
in the immediate future" said Doctor
Allen. "The whole problem of Amer
icanization and training for citizen
ship. as it must be met in the ele-
mentary public schools, Is fundamen-
tai, yet from all over the country we
hfNr of the failure of young men and
women to register in the training
schools. We are approaching a cri-
sis"
From Iowa comes the report that
100 schools have no teachers at all.
In Philadelphia as many substitutes
are needed in a month this winter as
are ordinarily employed in sthe full
school year. Men have gone to the
war, and woman teachers are resign
ing constantly. Cincinnati reports the
fear of teacher famine.
p. P. Qaxton, United States COM
missioner of education, reports: 'The
shortage is constantly increasing and
is efnbarrassingly large in some sec
tjonS."

The Conqueror'
at Royal Tonight!

William Fox will present "The
Conqueror" with William Farnum in
the leading role at the Royal theatre
tonight. "The Conqueror" is an z. Al.
Walsh production and is screened with
all the care and attention to detail
that is so characteristic of Walsh pic
lures.
William Farnum appears in the in
teresting character of Sam Houston,
a historic figure in the early days Of
Texas, whose strong manly vigor and
personality carries everything before
him, including the love of the "Ten-
nessee Rose" the flower of Southern
aristocracy. Houston's rapid rise to
power from rough frontiersman to
governor of state is one of the most
vivid picture stories ever told.
The battle between the Mexicans
and a detachment of Texas rangers
and friendly Indians is one Of the
most realistic battle scenes ever film
ed and is even more exciting than 9th
er famous battle pictures. 'sThe Com
queror," all in all, is a wonderful pho
todrama, that will take the picture
world by storm.
Mr.. Farnum is supported by Jewel
Carmen and a notable cast.

Now Engaged in Forty Lines Of
War Employment In the
British Isles.

London.-Those who have thought
that the women of England might not
have been doing their bit in the prose
cution of the war were astonished
when they entered the imperial war
exhibition at Burlington House to see
forty different uniforms worn BY wom-
en- in service. These show that wom-
en- are engaged as messengers, NUM-
ton and agricultural workers, nurses,
etc. and that they are the pride OF the
girlhood of the country.
Not satisfied with this showing the
women managers of the exhibition
have issued an appeal to have women
engaged in out of the way positions re-
port, that their jobs may be added to
the daily increasing lists.
