HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING PLAN
ISACREED ON

At the regular meeting of the coun-
ty school board last night, a slxetcn
of the new high school building,
drawn by Architect w. G. Willis, was
accepted, and on recommendation of
the building committee, it was voted
that plans and specifications be drawn
by the architect in harmony with the
accepted sketch.
A resolution was passed providing
for advertising In the papers for seal
ed bids on the sale of the time war;
rants for s150,O00 authorized by the
legislature for the construction of the
school building, the advertisements
TO appear for the first time in tomor-
rows papers. and the time for the re-
ception of bids TO end at noon on June
%.
The final plan for the new building
onits the auditorium, as not sufficient
money is available to provide the nee
essarv study rooms complete and an
auditorium The plan has peen SO
made. however, that the building viii

that the plan agreed upon provides
both for the present and the future
as well as provision could possibly
be made under the circumstances. An
almost fncalculable amount OF labor
baz been expended by the board in its
efforts to get an ideal building with
the funds provided, a school house
that will answer to the needs OF the
city and be a credit to the COM
munity.
The board also agreed TO erect four

GERMANY MAY
Be ADMITTED
YET TOLEACUE

Germany, if she signs the peace
treaty, and gives satisfactory guaran-
tees that she will establish a stable
government and Loyalty carry out pro-
visions of the treaty. doubtless will be
permitted to become a member of the
League Of Nations. The council of
four has this subject under considera-
ton.
The council OF four is also busily en-
gagged going over reports of commits
sions which have been examining Ger
many's contemporaries. 1t is felt in
Paris it will be possible to give the
Germans the final word late in the
present week. 1t is said five days will
be given the Germans to answer
whether they will sign the treaty.
Paris, June 9.-The movement to ad-
NIT Germany to the League of Nations
is due mainly to a desire to avoid the
possibility of the formation of another
group composed of rival powers which
would embrace Grmany, Russia and
the old Teutonic group. Evidences
reached the conference leaders lately
that influences are working in Ger
many and Russia to establish relations
as a bisis for a combination of the
powers not in the league.
While not regarded as imminent, it
was felt the danger OF such a combi-
nation would be always present while
Germany was outside the league and
admission to Germany. therefore, was
recommended as a means Of subject
ing her to the same obligations as the
allies under the league.
Geneva. June e.-Signing of an arm
istice by the Austrians and Jugo- Slavs
is reported in advices reaching here.
The arnistice was agreed upon fol-
lowing the occupation by the Jugo-
Slavs of Zollfeld. Invasions of parts
OF Carinthia by Jugo-S lav troops was
reported in dispatches last week.

In a session lasting barely 45 min
utes, the city commissioners yester-
day afternoon wound up the business
of the year, adjourned sine die, re-
assembled as a new board. with
George H. Hinrichs sworn in for his
new term of three years, reassigned
themselves to their old positions, and
re- elected the entire slate of depart
ment heads of the city, except the re-
corder. 1t was evident to all that the
machinery of the city government was
well oiled.
The only discordant note in the pro-
ceedings was struck just before the
vote was taken on a resolution filling
all the appointive offices at one
sweep; and this was sounded when
Commissioner Hinriches arose and
emphatically stated that he wished to
go publicly on record as protesting
against the reasignment of H. Riera
as chief of the fire department. Aside
from this, the action of the board was
unanimous in every particular.
Action regarding the recordership
was postponed This was the only
office for which there was more than
one applicant, three persons having
presented applications for that office.
A Zelius, Sr., Don Mcclellan, and the
incumbent. NJ. E. Morey. Mr.. Morey,
in his petition for reassignment, laid
stress on the fact that during his in
cumbency the fines assessed against
offenders had exceeded estimates by
SO. 900; and that he had the endorse
ment of % members of the bar asso-
citation in formal petition. Clarence

supported. Expressions made
IN congress show this to be
true. The policy of a strong
American navy is backed by
forces once accused of paci-
flsrnss the policy is being criti-
cised by men who up to a year
or two ago shouted their heads
off because we did not have a
stronger navy. Newspapers
that two years ago spoke with
extreme sarcasm about the lit
tleness of the American stand
ing army now seem to favor a
little army; they rail at Secre-
tary Bakers proposal for an
army of 100000 men.
There is coming about a new
salignment on the states right
issue. Those who once derided
anything in the nature of states
right now use glowing words
TO depict the virtues of state
control as opposed to strong
federal grasp. The political
party i'm sympathy historically
with the states right idea has
given US very strong federalist-
ic practices.
What doesqit all mean? No
man yet knows for sure but it
is clear that the time calls for
some thinking by the individu-
al and for coolheadedness. We
must wait and see. Old issues
and old shibboleths are in the
discard.
A new era is at hand and
people should form their views
in the light of things as they
are, not as they were in pre-
war times. Intelligence on the
part of the public was never
more needed than now.
