Influenza cases are of the very mild
est type and it is seldom thai a case

is probably due tc the fact that many
Brunswickians are needing the warn

DENIES STORY OF MUTINY
ABOARD U. S. S. AMERICA
Maj. Gen. Shanks of Hoboken EN-
barkation Port Explains
Trouble Among Crew.

An explanation of the trouble among
the crew of the steamer America in
the port of Brest. France. and en-
route from Brest to New York is
made in statement by Maj Cen D.
Z. Shanks. commanding the port of
embarkation at Hoboken, issued by
the war Department. Gen. Tasker H.
Bliss, member of the American peace
delegation. which returned to the
United States on the America, said
last evening he heard nothing of the
reported "mutiny."
There was no mutiny, no shots
were fired and no one was wounded"
said Gen. Shanks. The trouble with
the crew on the America was of two
kinds. First, failure of certain men,
bers of the crew to obey instructions
prohibiting shore liberty at Brest;
second, pilfering of ships stores and
cargo. On arrival in Brest shore lib
erty was granted, but on account of
drunkenness and bad behavior of GER

WANT SUBSTITUTE
TEACHERS ON ROLL
School Council Members to
Discuss the Proposition
for Paid Force.

Next to the desire for an adequate
salary. the question in which the
public school teachers are most in
terested at this time is to have Con-
gress make provision for paid force
of substitute teachers to relieve the
regular instructors in cases of SICK
ness and emergency.
When Supt. of Schools Ernest L.
Thurston recently asked the teachers
to suggest topics for discussion at
future meetings of the Superlntend-
ent's council the largest vote was for
consideration of the substitute teach
er problem.
Another Topic Suggested.
Another interesting topic which "a
number of teachers recommended for
early discussion is. Should the teach-
er advance grade each year with
her claSS?
school officials say there are good
arguments both for and against TINS
proposition. An administrative Of
ficer pointed out that if the teacher
is an exceptional one n class would
benefit by having her continue with
them through school. whereas class
would suffer by having weak IN
structor year after year.
Subjects Recommended.
Other topics suggested are: Educa. .
ton for leisure, closer grading OF
pupils, the supernormal chiid' gen
eral conditions in grade buildings, re,
vision of pupils report cards. school
morale, movies in the schools, more
initiative on the part of teacher and
pupil and why children leave school
The superintendents council, pc
fore which these problems are to pc
discussed, is separate from the teach
ers' council of the board of educatloh'
Mr.. Thurston hopes to have his coun-
oil of teachers and administrative Of
ficers meet with him once month
during the new year.

Lieut. Col. ]. A. BcaZeley gives in

tcrcsting example of how photography
from an airShip can extend our knOwl-
edge. When making an aerial recon-
naissance in Mcsopotnma over terri

series OF photographs near Samnrrs
which shows distinctly the ruins of IN
ancient city extending 20 miles along
the Tlgris river ana two miles ana a
half wide, large enough to shelter
easily 400O,0DO Inhabitants.
This city would never have been
noticed on earth, since it is not marked
by anything but scattered hillocks, al
though pottery and medals had been
discovered on the site. But the photo
graphs show clearly its whole plan,
with its fortilications, canals for ir-
riSatiOn, and streets.
The faIl of the airpane within the
enemy lines and the capture of its
passengers did not permit Colonel
BcaZclcy TO pursue his researches. but
since the British occupied the territory

the photographs, has begun to explore
