Excuse fer Noa-AetIon.

The school official excused the
non-aetiOn Of the board on ths
grounds that the slush fund letter
did not come before the board as
one Of the Parents League chafgss.
and that the league must rely On it8
own charges.
mo fair-minded person can blame
the 10000 mothers and fathers, MEM
bers OF the Parents League, from
Withholding proof in the Bruce case
from q tribunal which Is inclined "a
give such an excuse for non action. q
Members OF the board have de-
clArsd that they could see no reason
why the Parents League seized On
the Moons case to attack Mr.. Bruea-
The Parents League Is prepared to
prove by direct testimony that more
than q year ago complaint was reg
istered with Mr.. Bruce In regard to
Moons activities; and that by the
negligence and indifference OF the.
assistant superintendent he made No
recommendations to the board and
* was exposed, not by himself, but
BY the Department Of Justice.
The Parents League holds that
such negligence on the part Of .
school official Is inexeusable, and
should provide reasons for immed!9ta
action by the Board Of Education.
The Parents League case Is not
based entirely on the Moons case
which Is shown by the fact that dis
has existed for years.

NEGROLASHED
At POST FOR
WIFE BEATING
Montgomery County Sheriff De-
IiVers Twenty Blows With
Buggy Whip at Rockville.

For the hrst time in two years
in Montgomery county, a man was
punished at the whipping post in
Rockville today for wife beating.
He was dashed across the bare back
twenty times with a buggy whip.
George williams, . twenty-nine-
year-old negro, who came to Rock
Vile q year ago from New York
State, was convicted on May 81 last
Of "brutaIIy beating his wife" The
attack occurred. at the negroes home
on the Rockville pike.
Today, his back barred to the lash
of the sheriffs whip. his hands and
feet securely fastened, Williams was
given, by the sanction. OF the law,
the same kind OF punishment that
the court found he had given his
wife. Frances Williams, q fran
woman, who has not yet entirely re-
covered from the effects of her beat
ing.
1t took all of the courage Of q
husky, broad-shou.dered man, weigh
ing 200 pounds to stand up under the
punishment administered to Williams,
the maximum penalty that the law Of
Maryland provides for wife heaters.
walks Firmly to Post.
It was twenty-six minutes past 10
o'clock this morning when the
negro was led from his cell on the
second floor of the Rockville jail.
He walked with firm tread to the
jail yard. an enclosure seventy feet
square.
The prisoner was sullen. He said
not q word until the handouts were
fastened on his hands and his legs
tied to prevent his shrinking from
the blows. Then he turned to Sheriff
William L. Aud and said.
81 don't blame you. sheriR. I did
it and now 1 guess I've got to pay
for it."
Thirty seconds later the ordeal was
over for williams and the broad
shouldered Negro. the muscles of his
shoulders and back standing out in
little Welts, stood, with bowed head
and accomplishing lips.
Thank you sheriff, for being as
light on me as you could" he finally
said between sobs. o:
williams stoically turned his face
to the Jail wall as the sheriffs attend
ants stepped back and announced all
was ready for the punishment.

"GrIevOus wrong

"In 1911 the taxpayers Of the Dis

through action by Mr.. Bruce, Accord
ing to testimony OF R. R Horner, then
q member Of the Board Of Education,
ION July 1s, 1912, before the Red
field subcommittee of the District
there were two cases brought up %
which Mr.. Bruce figures. One Of these
Is the case OF Captain Webster, ana

"sufncient RAasOas.,

There are hundreds OF instances
OF NAL administration in the cole
ored schools" continues the Par
ents' League statement. They con.
stitute sufficient reasons for the de-
mands for Mr.. Bruce's removal.
The Parents League feels justified,
on the showing herein made, in the
stand Il has taken.
att is not likely that 90, 900 persons
could be induced to present a petition
asking for the removal OF Mr. Bruce
unless they were able to back up
their claims.
IF the board will grant an open
hearing so the public can hear and
Judge, the league will present com.
plete charges.
But the Parents League Is unwilI1
ing to have the case against Mr.
Bruce become a second Jarndycs Va.

School this afternoon.

the the above Is not an 'exaggeF=,
ated conclusion attention may Bel
called to the article In The Times on,
Sunday. in which Il Is told how the
assistant corporation counsel and
Miss Woods attorney have been un-.
able to agree on the facts IN the.
Wood case. On Saturday the Rttor3
neys were as divergent In their vieWst|
practically, as when the matter Waal
taken to the courts.
In view Of this incident No onai
doubts the wisdom Of the PaFentss
League in refusing to have their
charges thus referred. The Parents,
League Is willing now, and has BEEN
from the beginning Of the contro7
Versy,. to present charges. to thei
Board of Education at an open
hearing. The charges are backed
with written proof. and witnesses.
to sustain them.
The Parents League wishes t0.
tell Of the incident in which a menu
Der OF the board was told that the
board itself has sufficient evidences
to permit favorable action On the.
appeal for the removal Of Mr..
Bruce. The slush fund letter was
mentioned.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-06-11

point IS shown by the lack Of atten-
tention given to the slush fund letter
and several other matters which have
been officially brought to the atten=
tention Of the Board Of Education
ANY one Of these should have ware
ranted. In the opinion Of the Par
ents' League, the dismissal q the
assistant superintendent.
mo one eogniEant OF these facts d
inclined to eensure the league for It's

Education. that they may be referred
to the corporation counsel or one of
his assistants and pigeonholed.

whether the man was disabled in this country or on the battle fields of Europe, and regardless of the nature of his dis ability, he will be given every considera- ton and will be re-established as an efficient worker in civilian life through the efforts of the federal board for vo- cational education
 Any man whose disability prevents him from returning to employment without training will be furnished with chosen course of vocational training, proVlded by the federal board As long as the training lasts his personal expenses wilt be paid and allowances will be paid to his dependents.
 SUPPORT WHILE IN TRAINING
 Before men are eligible for training. they must have been granted compensa tion from the bureau of war risk insur- ance. This is prima facie evidence OF the mans disability. The bureau of wal risk insurance is entirely separate from the federal board for vocational educa- tion, but both agencies unite in support ing the men while in training. The fed eral board supplementing the amount re ceived from the war risk insurance bu- reau, sd as to enable the men to under take his training
 The amount of monthly compensation will be equal to the sum of which he is entitled under the war risk insurance ac', or a sum equal to the pay of his last month in service, whichever is 1he greater; but in no case will single mar or man living apart from his depend ents receive less than $65 per month, eX- elusive of the sum paid dependents, and a man living with his dependents receive not Jess than $75 per month, inclusive or the sum paid to dependents.
 Besides supporting the man while tax ing training, the government will pay a monthly allotment, and allowance to his dependents, such amount being the same as that paid prior to his discharge from the service
 Compensation for disability, by the way, has nothing to do with insurance, and is granted free 10 disabled men regardless of whether they took out gov ernment insurance or not.

Intimate View of Zapata
Gates, in the Worlds Work.

William Gates in the Worlds Work.
 Zapatas speech is slow, almost word by word, though he seems unconscious of that I often in conversation thought he had finished what he meant to say, and then, starting myself to speak, would find him going on, after an interval in his speech, which was not; however, break. I have constantly used to myself the Spanish word tosco in thinking of him, without any exact English equivalent; also without any depreciation in thought of Zapata himself. but only as descriptive of the organism which by race and birth is his medium of action. The word liter ally means heavy. rough, unpublished. The word also supplies simile, as if of the light inside diamond which had to shine and Knew it and yet which con stantly stumbled against the unpublished surfaces, without being abashed or dis heartened by that fact, thinking only of it's own brightness. So Zapata seems to me-with 'Tndianism" as the light in him Tn time a myth will grow up around his name.

How Uncle Sam Is Caring for the Boys of Alabama, \ Mississippi and Louisiana and Making Them Self Supporting

Tine United States. like all the coun- tries engaged in the world war, has taken definite steps to care for it's dis abled soldiers, sailors and marines. In former wars these men were received as returning heroes for awhile and then forgotten. Later on they were placed in soldiers homes and were not seriously considered as factors in the economic life of their country.
 Tn this however. the magnitude of the numbers involved has lead each country to carefully consider the mak- ing over of it's disabled men, and ht- ting them first for limited military service and later for industrial life after demobilization. On all the bat tie fronts of Europe there were some 5S,oGoO,O0O men under arms. 1O,OOO'oo0 deaths, and 24,000,000 casualties
 The salvage of this human wreck age, therefore. was an important fac tor of self-preservation. England, France. Canada, Belgium, Italy and others faced the problem as Germany arf r, Austria had done, both from T.. frv as well as from an economic
 mt of view.

 The best interest of the men, for unately, received early consideration, and before the United States had thrown it's weight into the conflict our allies had fairly well worked out a policy of self-help and governmental aid toward fitting them en for self-sup- port
