White AND
COLORED
Schools To Be Operated Separately
According to a Court De-
eision. Z

In an opinion handed down Mon.
day morning, Judge Bush granted the
injunction prayed for by some of the
colored school trustees and colored
people, to prevent the white school
board from having anything further
to do with the administration of the
colored schools under the plan which
has been in effect year by year for
several years.
The white trustees had managed
the colOred schools by request of the
colored board, but changes in the fac.
ulty a year or two ago caused dissat.
isfaction to some of the colored
trustees and there are now two fac
tions. In the recent election the fac.
ton favorable to the white manage.
ment won out and elected two trus,
tees, but three of the holdover mem.
bers, constituting half of the board,
are antagonistic and brought the suit
in which their contention that the
schools could not be managed by the
white board has been sustained
The faculty is yet to be chosen, if
the two factions can get together,
The position of superintendent is
the one around which interest will
center. This is now held by Prof.
Posey.
The white trustees Were indifferen,
as to the outcome of the suit and
took no part in it.

Paris, June 24-The- signing of the
peace treaty is not likely to take
place before Thursday, possibly not
until Friday
This announcement was made last
night by Premier Clemenceau.
In declaring its intention to accept
and sign the peace terms, the govern
ment of the German republic has
sent the following note to M. Clemen-
ceau, president of the peace confer
ence, through DR.. Haniel Won Hahn
hausen:
"The minister of foreign affairs
has instructed me to communicate to
your excellency the following:
1T appears to the government of
the German republic, in consterna-
ton at the last communications of
the allied and associated govern
ments, that these governments have
decided to wrest from Germany by
force acceptance of peace conditions,
even those which, without presenting
any material significance, aim at de-
vesting the German people of their
honor.
No act of violence can touch
the honor of the German people. The
German people after frightful suffer-
ing these late years, have no means
of defending themselves by external
action.
Yield to Superior Force.

ALWAYS JUST
GOING TO SIGN

The German National Assembly in
Weimar has voted 237 to 1873 to
sign the peace treaty and gave a
vote of confidence in the new Cabi-
net, 236 to SO. Sixty-eight did not
vote on the treaty and five refused
to vote on the new Ministry. The
Council of Four rejected the Ger
man request for modification of
terms. 1t now seems probable that
the treaty will be signed by Fri
day. There is no indication that the
Allies will extend the time for sign
ing beyond that period In the mean
time the Allied troops are concen-
trated at the Rhine bridgeheads
ready for their march in case it
should become necessary.

The fact that the Germans asked

Policy Undetermined
Annual Compensation Under
Federal Operation Slightly
Less Than $28,OOO,OOO

The annual compensation to be paid
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway Company under it's contract
with the government will be slightly
under S28,OOO0OO. In making public
this figure after special meeting of
the directors yesterday R. M. Calkins,
president, said that it included about
$4,000 additional compensation on
the Rocky Mountain lines.
Mr.. Calkins stated that there was no
dividend discussion at yesterdays
meeting, adding that there were many
points which had to be settled before
dividend policy could be determined.
He denied, however, that the railroad
administration had disapproved plan
for resumng disbursements to stock
holders.
The condition of the st. Paul prop
erty is good and its equipment is in
satisfactory shape, according to Mr.
Calkins. The company does not want
for cars, and the future is being pro
vided for through the construction of
1000 cars at it's own shops.
Expressing optimism regarding the
business outlook. as the head of the ST.
Paul he predicted that the readjust-
ment period would not last more than
sixty or ninety days longer. He be-
lieved that then there would begin a
period of great activity.

Relevant Comment
The American Cent Is Busy

The smallest unit of American coin
age, the cent, has come into its own.
War taxes on moving picture theatres,
cigars and many other things has re-
suited in an Unsuitable demand for the
coin which is being made upon the
various mints, sub treasures and
banks. Every day the local Sub Treas
ury is being called upon to supply the
needs of business houses, theatres,
cigar stores and other establishments
which need the coin to make change
for their customers. Last week, for
instance, the New York Sub-Treasury
issued from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of
the coppers each day. Department
stores send for as much as $4,000
worth at a time. 1t would be we'll
nigh impossible to get accurate figures
on the total of the coins now in circu-
lation in New York, but it was esti-
mated by those who are familiar with
the subject that there are now about
25 per cent more in use than there
were before the war taxes went into
effect in 1917. And the demand con-
tinues. Other small coins are also
in demand

Atlas Sales Largest
In Company's History
Gross of $35,766,6l9 Com.
pares With $27, ,487,63I
for 1917

In the annual report of the Atlas
Powder Company for 1918, issued yes
terday, the record powder sales of
$50, ,766,619 were shown. This repre-
sents an increase of S8,278,988 more
than for the preceding year. Reserves
amounting to $2,680,000 were set aside
to provide against loss from bad debts,
accidents at plants and depreciation.
The net profits were $2,262,293, which,
after allowing for preferred dividend
requirements of $4,000, were equal
to $3442 share on the $5,OO2 400 COM
mon stock, compared with $5125 a
share earned in 1917.
Holders Of the common stock shared
dividends aggregating S1,O5O,5O4, or
$250,112 less than was paid the year
before. Profit and loss surplus to De-
cember 81 was placed at $4,769, 100.
W. j. Webster, president of the COM
pany, said in his report TO the stock
holders: "The gross sales of your
company exceed those of previous
years, but it should be recognized that
comparisons can hardly be made, as
conditions have been abnormal in
many respects. A substantial proper
tlon OF the gross business represents
operations under contracts with the
United States government. This work
was undertaken less with view of
profits than to apply the facilities to
the needs of the government for the
conduct of the war.
"The United States government can
celled contracts to December, 1918, to
the amount of $15,4O0,00O, these can
cellations having been made within
month from the signing of the armis-
tice"
