WILL BE INT UPON AS
 LATEST REFORM

London, Nov. 20.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) The Labor Party in tends to make educational reforms one of the problems to which its leg islators will direct attention during tho forthcoming session of Parlia- ment.
 some provisions of the Education Act of 1918 have reused opposition from labor representatives in the House of Commons. Chief among these is authority given local officials to recognize works schools" organ ized by private firms and conducted on the firms premises which are ap- proved in the act as offering suitable and efficient part-time instruction" :" These schools are designed for boys and girls between fourteen and six teen years of age.-
 Labor Party representatives object to the .sWorks Schools on the ground that they may mean that instruction there twill be biased by the com merciaI interests of the firm conduct ing them." A demand is also made that instruction, as far as possible, shall be in the morning hours, 1t be- ing contended that cit is useless to compel boys and girls to attend school when they are tired out by a days work"
 Labor Party candidates are making their party's stand on this subject prominent among their campaign ar guments.

WILDE RECEIVES
 OFFERS CAlO.7E
 FROM OUT WEST

New York, Nov. 20-Jimmy Wilde, England's f1yweight boxing sensa ton, probably will leave this city tonight for Milwaukee, where he is scheduled to make his first American ring ap- pearance early in December. The English boxers opponent and the definite date of the proposed contest are matters still undecided, but it IS expected the situation will be cleared at a meeting this evening between George Dwyer, Wilde's American rep resentative, and Otto Borchert, Mill waukee promoter, who is in this city seeking to arrange the match. Dwyer stated yesterday that Jack Sharkey probably would be Wi1de's rival in the ring, when the little Briton dons the gloves for the first time in Amer ica.
 An effort will also be made this af- ternoon to secure permission from the officials of the International Sporting Club for Wilde to participate in bouts east of Chicago before his New York debut, scheduled for the I. s. c. opening on Feb. 23. Wilde has an ironclad contract with the I. s. C. directors in which the little Briton pledges himself not to appear in ring competition in the east prior to his local bout.
 Manager Dwyer yesterday was in communication with Matt Hink1e, Cleveland promoter, over the tele- phone, discussing the prospect of a bout in Cleveland for Wilde. It is understood that Promoter Hinkel made Dwyer an enticing offer for the privilege O. parading Wilde in his first American bout in Cleveland and that a deal for such a bout is now be- ing considered, contingent on the out come of the meeting with the I. S. c. officials. Detroit, too, has made at- tractive offers for a match in which Wilde would display bis ability.

SAY JOHNSON
 NOT ENTITLED
 TO HOLD OFFICE

New York, Nov. 20-Whether the supreme authority in the American Legion rests with the majority direc- tors or with Ban Johnson, president of the league, will be put to a unique test when it comes time to hold the annual meeting of the league, which according to the American League constitution shall be held on the sec ond Wednesday of each December.
 The majority directors of the Amer ican League, Ruppert of New York, Comiskey of Chicago and F'razee of Boston, in session at the Hotel Bilt- more yesterday, issued a call for the annual meeting of the board of direc- tors to be held at the Biltmore, New York, at 10 o'clock a. m. on Decem- Der 10, 1919, and for the annual meeting of the, American League at the same place at 12 o'clock noon on December 10.
 With one or two exceptions the American League always has held it's annual meeting at Chicago, following a. call by Ban Johnson president of the circuit. Johnson, 1t is believed, will in the near future issue the reg ular call for the annual meeting in Chicago when it will be up to the American League club owners to de- eide for themselves whether they in- tend to attend Johnson's meeting or come to the meeting of the directorate at New York.
 In the event that the American League club owners take sides the W ay they have been doing it means that the Cleveland, St Louis, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington clubs will meet in Chicago, while New York, Boston and Chicago will meet in New York. Lieut.-Col. Huston of the Yan- kees, however, expressed the opinion that sufficient club owners would come to the. New York meeting to hold a quorum.
 Should five clubs go to any meet ing which Johnson might call any &C., tion they might take would be null and void,'' said Huston, ''as their meeting would be illegal. The su- preme authority in the league is the board of directors, and because John son heretofore has usurped authority which he never possessed it does not mean that he can get away with ii indefinitely

 he has beaten every man within 20 pounds of his weight he has met, in fact he cannot find opponents in this section, and I must look for new fields to conquer. Now any man you can get up to 15S pounds will suit Gill, Mike O'Dowd preferred, and I am one of the few managers who

THOSE WHO CANNOT GO
By EDWARD A. G. HERMANN
of the Viallantes.

Are you sorry? Or are you glad?
Perhaps you would go if you COULD
but you must stay at home.
You cannot be a hero at the battle
front, but you can live herofcally wher-
ever you are.
It takes five men at home to keep
one man in the trenches.
YOU belong to one Of those groups
of five men.
The five men at home must stand to-
gether and do the things that count
most for one man at the front. For
any one man to fail is to play false to
the cause for which we work and they
fight.
You cannot fight, but you can work
and pray; you can love and serve; you
can save carefully and give sacri-
ficially. Above all else you ought to
worship in times of war.
I We believe our cause is righteous.
Our faith is justified. Our human in
stincts are not lying to us.
The lofty ideals for which our brave
boys are fighting are the ideals for
which pure Christianity has stood for
1000 years. When the church has
been blind to the vision OF the
ideals she has grown weak and I'M
worthy of the great Leader. We stand
with him today for the sanctity OF
womanhood and the protection of chill
dren; for justice and mercy, truth and
righteousness; for industrial, political
and social democracy; for information
al law and universal brotherhood; fol-
the establishment of the kingdom Of
God on earth.
These are the great ideals which
carry with them freedom, peace anc
| happiness for all the future.
After all, true religion is the rea
conseryator of civilization and the III
innate unifier of humanity. The flu
ture of democracy and civilization Il
bound up with Christianity.
