From School Course

New York, Dec. 30.-A resolution
demanding the elimination Of Shake
speare's Macbeth" from school cur
riculums on the ground that it was
a libel on the Scotch in its "misrep-
resentation in presenting King Mac
beth as a traitor and murderer" was
adopted here last night by the
League of Scottish Veterans Of the
World War. The resolution was ad-
dressed to the Newark, N. j., board
OF education which recently barred
"The Merchant of Venice" from the
schools because of the alleged SLAM
der to the Jewish race.
The resolution was signed by Ivan
McTavish, captain of the Gordon
Highlanders; Malcolm PacPhersen,
captain of the Black Watch, and
Donald Daley, lieutenant of the
Royal Scotch fusileers. IF they have
banned Shylock, / see no reason
why they should not ban Mac
BETH" said Captain McTavish. IF
the Jewish gaberdine is to be clean
ed, they should also remove the
stain from the Scottish kilt"

New York, Dec. 30.-Charged
with violating his parole by forging
checks, committing thefts and get

pleaded guilty to forging a check
for $4,000 in the name of Norman

Hammond's escapades since be-
ing placed on probation took him
to Atlantic City, Maine and New
Hampshire. Finally, his friends
virtually deported him to Canada
in an effort to make him go
straight" The life in Manitoba
proved too tame for him, however,
and he went to Boston, where he
stole $4,000 worth OF bonds, plead
ed guilty in the name of an alleged
murderer he met in the Tombs
prison, and succeeded in obtaining
suspended sentence under that
name.
Hammond has a long war record.
He enlisted in the Canadian army
in 1914 and was wounded at Ypres.
He came back to this country with
out being discharged and later re-
turned to England, where he joined
the royal air force and was again
wounded.
His fraud victims are said to in
clude a number of society people in
New York, Newport and Atlantic
City.
