Increase in Teachers
Pay Urged BY Claxton
To Maintain Standard
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Doubling
the salaries of public school teachers
within the next five years, and an ad-
dition of fifty per, cent before another
ten years have passed, SO that the
minimum average salary for teachers
would be $1,000, was the program
urged by Commissioner of Education
Claxton, in statement today.
Teachers are now paid less for
their work than any other class of
workers." said the commissioner, "and
the increase in their pay in the last
few years has in nowise been in keep
ing with the increase in pay Of other
workers, or with the increase in the
cost of living. While the cost of liv-
ing has increased approximately 80
per cent, the salaries of teachers have
increased only about IL per cent.
Many of the better teachers are
leaving the schools and their places
are taken by men and women of less
native ability, less education and cul-
ture, and less training and experience.
Many of the places are not filled at all.
AS an inevitable result the character
of the schools is being lowered just
at a time when it ought to be raised
to a much higher standard. The only
remedy is larger pay for teachers"

{. N, ASHCRAFT,
LOCAL FIGHTER.
AWARDED DISC.

Corporal Eugene M. Ashcraft. son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert E. Ashcraft,
has been awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross for extraordinary hero
ism in action, according to announce.
ment made by the war department to.
day. Ashcraft is serving with Com
pany E of the 2Sth Infantry. He is
the first Richmond man to receive
Americas highest military honor.
The citation of the commander-in.
chief follows:
For extraordinary heroism in ac-
tion near Exermont, France. october
6. 1918. Responding to call for vol
unteers, Pvt. Ashcraft proceeded 400
yards ahead of his platoon to ascer-
tain the location of the enemy. The
mission was accomplished through
an extremely heavy five, but Pvt. Ash
craft, after obtaining his information,
successfully returned over the same
ground, and made his report to the
platoon commander"
'He was a fighter from the time he
was small boy" his mother said to-
day when told of the honor awarded
her son.
Corporal Ashcraft's wife lives in
West Alexandria, Ohio. He was
among one of the first contingents Of
selected men to be inducted into the
service by the Richmond board. He
was sent to Camp Taylor and later
to Hattiesburg. In May, 1918. he land
ed in France and when last heard OF
was with the army of occupation at
Eschelbach, Germany.
r. E. Ashcraft, father of Corporal
Ashcraft, said: TN his last letter he
said that he had done what told him
to do on the day he left Richmond
for the service. That was to kill every
German that got in his way"
In one letter he informed his mo-
ther that he had been over the top
five times and believed that after he
went over the sixth time the war
would be over. His mother said there
was no reference in his letters to in
dicate the exact exploit that won him
the citation in the orders.
His brother, Albert, is with the En-
gineers in France. He is one of six
sons.

PARIS, Feb. 21.-"The German gov
ernment is the same bureaucratic
regime of the kaiser's day, with the
same attitude toward labor and capi-
tai and does not represent the forces
which caused the revolution" says DR..
Alonzo E. Taylor, food specialist, who
has Just returned from Germany, where
he made extensive investigations IN
behalf Of the supreme food sreiief
council.
"Count Won Bernstorff is in charge
Of American affairs at the foreign OF
fice and the bureaucrats of the old
school are in evidence everywhere,
he added. "The Germans are becom-
ing Russianized. They are afraid to
put untried men into the service and
consequently they tolerate the old or
der of things"
German propagandists favor the
league of nations and are filing the
newspapers with articles saying that
President Wilson's doctrines should
be considered as having become effec-
tive on the day the armistice was sign
ed and should have been interpreted
as leaving Alsace and Lorraine in
German hands.
The German army has apparently
been disorganized and demobilized for
the most part. DR.. Taylor says. but
he believes it will be possible for a
well-organized bureaucracy to restore
militarism If it is deemed desirable.
Many Germans believe they will re-
cover their battleships and merchant
feet and do not expect to give up any
territory and, in DR.. Taylor's opinion,
a grave political upheaval is probable
with the signing Of the treaty of peace.
The present lull is regarded as un-
natural by DR.. Taylor, who says 1t
was possibly created by the payment
Of large indemnities to unemployed
persons and by; suspending action on
all questions vital to the future of the
nation. Unemployed men in Berlin
are paid eight marks per day while
railway workers and street cleaners
only six marks daily Consequently,
the men prefer to remain idle.
Plays so immoral that they would
have been prohibited under the imper
ial regime, are now tolerated; thieving
Is prevalent; looting is common and
the general public morale very low.

ARCHANGEL, Feb. 21.-An Arctic
Journey Of probably the greatest mag

rush, has brought additional British
troops to the Archangel front to rein

sleighs, driving in single file over froz-
en- tundra and along roads cut through
pine forests, completed the most dinl-
cult part of their 800 mile trip In II
days.

The correspondents drove days

men comfortably billetted in a little
village, described the trip as being
quite CHEEKY and cold"
Most of the days saw the thermome-

In the first forty-eight hours after

unsheltered from the wind. After this

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Former
President William H. Taft, addressing
the closing session Of the Pacific
Coast congress of the League to En-
force Peace last night, replied to his
opponents of the plan to establish .
league of nations, and referred to an
open letter addressed to him by Unit
ed States Senator William e. Borah,
of Idaho. which questioned the effic-
acy of the Monroe doctrine in event
the league of nations plan was adopt
ed.
Senator Borah wants to know in
which he calls an open letter." said
Mr.. Taft, whether I would consent to
a league of nations in which the Mon
roe doctrine is not recognized. I will
answer him by saying that ! would
like to have the Monroe doctrine ac-
knowledged specifically by such a
league, but II recognition Of its prin-
ciples is contained in the covenant for
such a league / would not object to
the form on which 1t is put.
Article X of the covenant drafted
in Paris extends the Monroe doctrine
to the entire world and gives it the
backing of the entire world. Conse-
quently it recognizes the Monroe doc
trine and l am In entire support OF
that covenant.
What would like to ask Senator
Borah is this: If he insists upon the
specific acknowledgment of the Mon
roe doctrine in the covenant of the
league of nations and II such recogni-
tfon is given It In the covenant as
finally agreed upon In Paris, will he
vote for treaty based upon the COW
enant as amended

write and that they will accept their
words unquestioned would be humor-

eminent and learned gentlemen"

QUESTION OF
INDEmNIT les
IS REACHING
SERIOUS FORM
Matter May be Referred to
Supreme Council and Heads
Of Governments to Obtain
Decision.
MEETS HIS COLLEAGUES
<By Associataa Press,

PARIS, Feb. 21-Premier Clemen-
ceau will receive his colleagues Of the
supreme council at his home this aft
ernoon to discuss certain important
matters with them. Announcement to
the effect was made shortly before
noon today.
His doctors consider him out Of dan
ger and therefore authorized him to
receive the ministers this afternoon.
The physicians believe he could re-
sumo his political activities on lion
day.
PARIS, Feb. 21.-While the peace
conference leaders have been awaiting
the outcome Of Premier Clemenceau's
injury to determine what the program
of the conference shall be for the i'm
mediate future, the question of fixing
the huge amount the enemy is to pay
for reparation is taking such form be-
fore the commission on reparation
that 1t may have to be referred to the
council of the great powers and to
the heads of the various government,
owing to the seriousness of the main
issue presented.
Doubt Ability to Collect.
This issue turns principally on
whether the cost to the various coun-
tries in conducting the war should
be included in the claim, in addition
to reparation for damages It is main
tanned by those urging the negative
view that the communication sent to
President Wilson by the allies, when
they FIRST accepted the German propo-
sal for an armistice, declared specific
ally only for reparation and made no
mention Of the cost of the war. The
latter, however, now has become one
Of the chief claims.
The total amount to be required for
reparation probably could be quickly
determined, but the addition of the
total cost Of the war would swell the
aggregate 70 such stupendous sum that
doubts are raising concerning the abil-
ity to collect it. In view Of the import
ance of this issue. It is probable that
President Wilson and others in the
highest authority will be consulted by
vabel and wireless as neither the COM
mission nor the delegation have thus
far ben able to reach q decision.
In outlining tonight the difficulties
met by the comission on reparation In
determining the approximate war
losses of any one belligerent, Captain
Andre Tardieu, of the French delega-
CATION to the peace conference, said
that France alone would present bill
for 100000 houses which have been
destroyed. This does not include fac
tories, 1t was added.
NJ. Tardieu said the allies had
agreed that Germany must pay to the
limit of her capacity, which is now be-
ing determined from divers sources
by the committee on reparations.
