NO GRANT FOR TEACHERS,

New Britain teachers who have been Participating an increase in salary |fhrough a state grant may be doomed Ito disappointm A bill appropriat- dng to each city and town s for every pupil in average attendance during ling the last few days of the legislative session. It has been discovered by fhe expressing clerk that no specific Hump sum was mentioned and it is now believed that the measure is in valid because of this defect. The only possible sum available for such pur- pose is the contingent fund of the Board of Control, but this aggregates only $600,000 and the amount re- uuired for the increase of teachers salaries is about $1. .150,OOO. It is said that even if the bill had been passed in proper form 1t would have been vetoed by Governor Holcomb.
 Connecticut faces a serious situa- ton. Teachers demand higher sal aries which are O1tered Tn nelghbOr- ing states. Also there is a shortage of instructors because during the war many were lured into industry and into office positions where the remun- eration was more on a par with the cost of living. It was estimated that the average salary increase in New
 Britain under tho n would
 be $55 per annum.

met Charles Johnson, a seaman from spin me a yarn, Matey," he suggest ed and MT. Johnson of St. Helena forthwith did this very thing.
 According to Johnson the future home of Wilhelm Hohenzollern haS been built only a short distance from that occupied by Napoleon EnSnSh soldiers began to construct the place eighteen months ago and 1t IS prob ably finished by this time. It con sists Of a one story brick affair with four rooms and is surrounded by high iron fence the palinSS Of which are sharply spiked. It was not ad- mitted officially on the island that the ex-KaiScr would be brought there, but what other object could the sol diers have in building the home? :? None at all. So it follows that Hoh enzollcrn will spend his last days on this speck in the ocean. Three of the rooms will be occupied by guards and the other by the former monarch.
 Far be it from us to question MT. Johnson's word, but it is strange that England set about to raise the house before victory was achieved, in tact at the very moment when it was not at all certain whether Wilhelm HOhen- zollern would be making his home in Berlin, Paris or London or wherever his fancy took him.

CORSETS ARE PART
 OF HER UNDERWEAR
So Are Corset Covers, BrasSieres and Camisoles, Revenue Officer
 Has Ruled.

Washington, May 17.-Corsets are underwear, it is officially ukased. For weeks experts of the internal revenue bureau have pondered definitions of underwear and other articles subject to the so-callcd luxury taxes which went into effect the 1st in preparation for regulations governing administra- tion of the tax. Arguments were made on one side and the other seek ing to show that certain articles were not underwear but something else. Finally, the experts developed this definition of underwear: Any gar ment worn under the outer dress, such as undershirts, drawers, pants, bloom CTS, union suits, combination suits. tights, Camisoles, corsets, corset cOvers brassieres chemises and vests
 The recommendations add that the list is by no means intended to be exhaustive, but merely a general mo- tiOn of the wide variety of articles taxa ble.' The tax is 10 per cent of the selling price in excess of $5 per garment.

mer National Guard and the Nation al Army. So-called. A dcleeate to the recent st. Louis caucus of the new American legion, writing in the BoS- ton Transcript, gives this teStlmony
 so far as the personal pulse of sentiment is concerned, no estimate would he lair which did not chronicle me W'dcSpread hostility to the regu- lar army. This again was purely matter Of personal opinion privately eNpreSSed' lnaSmuch, however, as the caucus was a meeting of thou sand representative enlisted men and ofncerS rom every portion or the country, ana as their thoughts may fairly be supposed to represent the thought of the personnel of the Na tlonal Army, this sentiment is thing of importance. What may come of it no one can say, but certainly it exists, and whether or not it is fair " founded, it is sure to be force to be reckOncd with henceforth.
 In the future reorcanizat tion of the army, as a whole, that sentiment will have to be reckoned with, for the men who entertain it are in the majority among the veterans and they are in politics, too. while the regular army officers cannot be in politics at all.

The New National Guard.
Springfield Republican,.


 One question in connection with the future military organization of fhe country is already settled. The National Guard will survive the war.
 There was much doubt two years ago as to the fate of the old militia. Federal lizaton was tending to the eX- treme of making the National Guard negligible as a state organization True, the guard must still be sup ported largely by the federal govern- ment and also controlled by ii, if the country's military system is to be an improvement on what has existed in the past, but Secretary Bakers re- cent statement that he would favor the building up of state forces again, with federal assistance, reveals the revulsion of sentiment that has taken place.
 In some degree, probably, the sec retary has taken heed of the pollti- cal as well as of the military aspect of the situation. Very unfortunate ly, the regular army, represented oE its officers, the West Pointers, oe- came disliked in France by the 1or-
