The loss OF time, caused by the
four and a half weeks enforced va
cation OF the school as well as the
loss OF time OF the children who
have had the influenza has been
made up by cutting out all holidays
such as the three days for county
teachers institute. the Friday after
Thanksgiving. the Christmas holi-
days. and by extending the first
term three weeks into the second Sc
mester. Thus the school work has
been brought up to standard for the
first semester. II the epidemic can
now be controlled we shall be able
to make up some OF the three weeks
In the second semester since there
are no holidays to interfere with con-
tinuous work.

OFFICER SAYS k|TCHENER'S DEATH
CERTAIN NEVER LEFT SINKING SHIP

heard because of the raging storm
and the terrific sound of escaping
steam. Immediately after the explo-
sion there was another and all lights
went out, which added to the confu-
sion.
The officer, with companion, cut
the lashings OF life raft, 1t being
impossible to launch the boats in
the terrific sea, and the raft was
slipped over the side. 1t turned up-
side down but finally righted and
he with others found themselves
afloat. Almost Immediately the ship
went down, not more than five min
utes after the first explosion. The
officer did not see Lord Kitchener on
deck, and it is his opinion that as
only one hatchway was open, the
only men who reached the deck were
those who went that way. Although
much confused, he recalls trying to
open a number of other hatchways
while trying to reach the deck and
found them all battened down.
The raft drifted. with the gale for
five hours, during which time many
OF the men were washed from the
raft, while others died and rolled in
to the net in the center. The raft
was then tossed through an opening
in a rocky reef and beached on an
island.
The officer scoffed at the sugges,
tion that Lord Kitchener had beer
saved, and was quite sure the Hamp
shire had been mined and not tor,
pedoed.

Lord Kitchner and his staff did not

stormy night In June. 1916, accord
ing to a warrant officer who has Just
told the story of the sinking to cor
respondent of the Manchester Guar

Questions concerning the sinking
of the Hampshire have been asked
in parliament because of the persis-

Germany. No detailed statement,
however, has ever been officially
given out. The name Of the officer
who now tells the story has not been

according to the officer, the Hamp-
shire took Lord Kitchener, aboard
on June 5, and set out with about
500 persons on board in "the foul

She was escorted by two destroyers
who were unable to face the storm
and returned to port. Everything
on board the Hampshire was lashed

RUSSIAN SOVIET WILL CALL OFF
THEIR MURDERERs IF TERMS
|, ARE AGREEABLE
FEEL FREE FROM ANY ATTACK
Claim Soldiers Of Great Powers Are
Tired of War and Won't Interfere
in Russia

Stockholm, Jan. 29.-M. vorovsky
the Bolshevist ambassador here, said
yesterday that the soviet govern
ment would not refuse an armistice
in European Russia and Siberia.
He was certain that Moscow would
accept the negotiations proposed by
the allies, but was not so sure that
the anti-Bolshevist governments
would agree to negotiate. Whether
the negotiations had any result de-
pended, he said, on others than the
Bolshevist representatives. These,
however, would not be authorized to
confirm the present situation in Rus
STA as the ordinary peace arrange
ment.
vorovsky said that the soviet gov
ernment would not resist at any cost
the formation Of separate states
within Russia. q,
1--WE are. for example," he said,
disposed to recognize the Siberian
government, but only II 1t represents
the will Of the whole people"
With regard to Bolshevist opera
tons in the Baltic. vorovsky tried to
maintain that there were no soviet
troops on that front. AS against
this prisoners have been taken by
Finlanders in Esthonia belonging to
soviet commands.
'The allies proposal came very
Unexpectedly" said vorovsky.
1--WE knew there would be no in
tervention in view of the negotia-
tions failing. The soldiers in the al
lied countries are tired of war and
the general opinion in the United
States and Great Britain and even in
France is against Intervention"
But this opinion may change"
l remarked, "if it is shown tnar the
Bolsheviki do not want peace"
1--WE do want it." said Vorosky,
'only the allies do not make us ac-
ceptable terms"
The choice of the Princes Islands
as the seat of negotiations Vorovsky
regards as ludicrous in view of the
absence of telegraphic and other
communication there.
"The negotiations ought to be held
in Stockholm, Copenhagen or in Hol-
land" he said.
"But, perhaps" he added. they
feared that the three representatives
Of the soviet would use the oppor-
tunity to start a revolution"

BRITISH HAVE EXPENSIVE
WAR MACHINERY ON HAND

Gretna, Eng, Jan. 29.-With the
ending of hostilities the British gov
ernment has on its hands unused a
$50, 100000 military chemical plant,
the most important in the empire,
employing during the war $4,000
persons. Apparently the govern
ment is undecided whether to try to
utilize it or to abandon it. Econ
omists say it is too inaccessible foi
private commercial use and that It's
plant and machinery should be
serapped and the government should
pocket the loss.
The workers are rapidly being de-
modified and the population Of

ENGLISH WOMEN WOULD

London, Jan. 29.--Independence

sands OF London women, lining the

Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. comman-

''They were vitally changed from
tho women who used to be carefully
escorted TO pre-war pageants in the
London Streets" observes one paper.
'It was evident these women had
learned the right to cheer. Genteel
flutterlng OF scrappy handkerchiefs
is no longer good enough for the
women who have worked and waited
Through the grey days OF sorrow,
when war heroes come home"
The crowds needed no urging to
make way for women in uniform.
They soon found line places, and
were among the most insistent in
calling Field Marshal Haig while
the official party was lunching In
buckingham Palace with the king.
Eigh and shrill rang their voices,
1--WE want HaiS, we want Halg," and
when that failed to bring the COM
mander OF the British armies In
France to the balcony. they led the
Z refrain, "Halg, Haig, Haig."
AS this did not set the desired re-
suit. they finally gave It up and led
the great crowd In singing "Rule
Britannia" They were here, there
and everywhere, and were as much
the spirit OF the occasion as were
the soldiers OF whom great numbers,
