SCHOOL STRIKE OPENS HOLIDAY.
Qucncmo Students Able to Declare
General Celebration Tuesday.

Quenemo, Nov. 12.-Quenemo high
school students went on strike Ar
rnistice Day and refused 20 go to
school. They held that Armistice day
should be celebrated. Supt. A. L.
Cross ordered the students to return
because the board of education had
not authorized the holiday. They re-
fused and proceeded to organize.
At o'clock, arbitration plans were
agreed upon and the students took
charge of the school. They tele-
phoned to Mayor Logan, who was at
Lyndon, and put their case to him.
When the bell rang, signifying that
Mayor Logan was ready to talk, the
students would not let superintendent
Cross answer the phone. Mayor
Logan was convinced and he issued an
Armistice day proclamation.
The result of the high school strike
spread. All Quenemo stores were
closed at noon. The students organ
lied a country picnic in the afternoon.

A SECOND VERSAILLES
Baseball Peace Negotiations Blocked
Agaiu-By a Sore Foot.

ASaln-by Il sore r OOt.
New York. Nov. 12.-Peace moves
in the baseball war have been blocked
by a sore foot.
Garry Hermann. chairman of the
national commission, had a perch set
up yesterday for the dove of peace to-
light on. but Ban Johnson, American
league president, developed a lame
foot and couldn't travel 'in comfort"
So the meeting, which Hermann
brands as a move for an armistice in
the American league revolution" has
been moved over until later in the
week"
About the only move that seems
within the province of the commission
is to meet the request of the American
board of directors and turn over to
the New York Yankees their share of
the world series money, which is be-
ing withheld on the protest of Frank
Navin, the Tiger president.
