tirement bill to provide a retirement
system for teachers in the public

mittee Thursday morning at 10
o'clock, Chairman Mapes announced

oUghly and that the teachers be given
as much time as they wish in which
to outline their position.
Practically all States and cities
and cities have a retirement system
for their public cschool teachers. Re-
peated efforts have been made to en-
act legislation giving them such bene-
fits here.
The Mapes bill provides for a 60-4O
plan. After thirty years it is esti-

SMALL HONESA
NEEDED IN COUNTRY

The United States Homes Registra-
ton Service is calling the attention
Of builders and contractors to the ur-
gent need OF more small homes, and
reports from all over the Country en-
'phasize the greatly increased demand
Tor relatively small houses and apart
ments.
This marked demand is due to the
number of marriages taking place
at this time due to the return Of SOL
diers The registration service de-
clareS that because Of the increased
costs in everything these new brides
and bridegroomS are looking 10;
small accommodations.
The present cost of living in gem
eral and Of rent in particular, with
the resultant necessity OF moving
from larger to smaller homes and
apartments has largely Influenced the
demand. The fact that men of small
families may move to Industrial CEN
tiers more easily than those having
larger families is given by housing
experts as an additional reason for
the change.
It IL also declared that part Of the
necessity for small houses comes
from persons who during the absence
of father. husband or brother in the
service, have had to live in single
rooms or who have been boarding.
The return Of these supporters allows
these persons to look for their own
establishments.

GERMANY TO SIGN TREATY,
BUT NOT TO KEEP TERMS,
RANTzAU HINTS IN REPLY

That Germany will sign the allied
peace treaty, but feels she cannot and
will MT fulfil its provisions, is the
Interpretation placed by officials to-
, day on Count Won Brockdorn- Rantzau' s
final answer to the allied terms.
Thus must q whole people sign a
decree for its own prescription, nay,
its own death warrant" says the
count in one place in his reply made
public by the State Department here.
And in another place he says: Ser
many is to put her signature to the
treaty lad before her and to carry
IL"
But he adds significantly, in an
other portion OF the answer, that
The terms are more than the Ger
man people can bear and that though
cit il true that past peace treaties
signed by great powers "again and
again proclaimed the right OF the
stronger" nevertheless those theaties
have been factors in Originating and
prolonging the world war"
Virtually all Of the counts propos-
ed were forecast in The Times.
Germany agrees 20 disarmament
bat asks immediate admission to the
league Of nations. She would limit
the indemnity against her to $4,000.

.EEKS PRAISEDFOR
EDUCATING YANKS

A splendid tribute to the order Of
EIks for making it possible for near
Iy 1900 disabled soldiers to take vo-
cational training finder the Govern
ment was paid today by James p.
Monroe, vice president Of the Federal
board for vocational education, in tes-
timony before the Senate COMMITTEES
on Education and Labor.
By contributions Of 100000, Mr..
Monroe told the committee, the Elks
throughout the country have paid the
expenses Of between /, 200 and 1900
soldiers while taking their course in
vocational training who otherwise
would have been unable to accept
this training on account of inability
OF the Federal board to meet many
conditions under the existing law.
Accounts have been placed in local
banks upon which disabled soldiers
can draw for expenses, Mr.. Monroe
said. and the Elks organization al
ready has received large sums from
these soldiers in repayment after they
had secured permanent employment.
The work OF the bureau has been
greatly expedited by the generosity
OF the E1ks. officials Of the board told
the committee.
The committee has under considera-
ton a bill whose aim is to cut the
red tape existing between the Bureau
Of War Risk Insurance and the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Training
and to enable the later board to ex-
pedite the training OF returned dis
abled soldiers and officers.
Between $4,000 and 10000 soldiers
are in need OF training, it was
and until the Congress gives
the board more discretionary powers
and fixes a reasonable sum for COM
pensation during the training period,
many of these men will suffer.

that the period it will remain is very
indefinite"

/ SOLDIER IN $1,000
DRY, SAYS GALLNAN

what the returning soldier has to
say will determine the action OF Con-
gress on the Presidents request for
the repeal OF wartime prohibition
affecting light wines and BEERS" de-
clares Representative James A. CAL
livan OF Massachusetts,, today.
'As fast as the troops are landing
here they are being heard FROM" he
said. and already the effect of this
sentiment is noted here"
Mr.. Gallavin introduced a bill lin
Congress on the first day Of the ses-
sion to repeal the wartime prohibit
ton on wines and beer. Mr.. CALI
vans statement follows:
Facts MIsrepresented.
'T have seen. the statement made
that it was a dry army which de-
feated the Huns. The fanatical
friends of prohibition have not hest
tated to misrepresent the fscts in
order to prove their case. Everyone
knows that our boys in France were
given light wines and beer. It is
quite true that some busy-bodies
tried to deprive them of even this
ISL AANAA6CANCB OAS ouCu Glu OE
der would have meant changing the
laws and customs Of France they did
not get very far.
Father Duffey, the beloved priest
who went into the trenches with the
troops while the fanatical prohibi-
tionists, sitting in swivel chairs and
drawing fat salaries, were trying to
take wine away from the boys, has
this to say:
There was very little drinking
among the men, and what there was
did them no harm; il did them good.
When they came out of the trenches,
dirty and muddy and grouchy,
thought many times the money of the
trustees fund could have been put to
no better use than in rolling a key
of wine down every company's street
For Light Wine and Beer.
"our own troops in the Massachu-
sets Division are Overwhelmingly
opposed to prohibition Of light wines
and beers. This is not guesswork;
/ know whereof 1 speak. Between
IL 900 and 1900 Of them have signed
a petition to the Massachusetts, legis-
lature saying that the national pro-
amendment was put over
considering them and asking
that the legislature legalize the sale
Of per cent beer.
"Of all those 1900 soldiers, then In
Camp Devens, only one man refused
to sign. One man out OF Il, 000-think
Of that
THE chief difficulty that the circu-
lators of the petition experienced was
in preventing men outside Of Massa-
chusetts from signing. In this they
were not altogether successful. About
240 men from other New England
States and from New York, Oregon,
Ohio, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Tennessee, Virginia, Wiscon-
sin. Illinois, Iowa, kentucky, Louis
lana, Florida-yes, even from the arid
and bone-dry State OF Kansas-signed
the petition"

HAMMOND IDEA IS OK.
W Ship Proves to Be a
Success.
Army and Navy Experts Report That
Wireless Control 10
Possible.

Washipgton.-Army and navy ex-
perts have reported the device OF John
Hays Hammond, Jr., for radio control
of surface craft to be sent laden with
explosives against enemy ships a sue
cess, and predict similar results with
submerged craft showing above water
only wireless a%ntennae.
Results Of tests were made public
in connection with the new fortiica-
lions appropriation bill, which carries
$475 900 for construction Of an exper-
mental submerged boat.
Secretary Baker wrote the house
appropriations committee, which is
considering the bill, that the joint
army and navy board was convinced
of the practicability Of the control" Of
the surface craft, and added that there
had also been demonstrations Of the
possibility of the control Of a craft
completely submerged except for an
air intake pipe. <
Before finally deciding on the pur-
chase of the patents for $4,000 the
board desires further experiment with
the submerged craft.
Construction Of the submerged
craft, which will be about 80 feet
long by z feet in diameter, will take
two years, according to Mr.. Hammond,
who told the committee he has spent
ten years and 100000 on his inven-
ton.
"There is no question whatever as
to the ability to control with great
accuracy the torpedo or CARRIER" said
a letter of Maj. Gen. F. W. Coe. a
member Of the board, $50 long as it is
a surface vessel or has any a%ntennae
above the water, by direct radio
waves, either from shore or from an
airplane."
With a shore station having a height
Of 80 feet above sea level radio con-
troll of the craft has been demonstrate
ed to the board up to a distance Of
seven miles, but General Coe said that
If controlled from an airplans there
was no limit as to distance except the
propelling power of the torpedo or the
boat that carried it or the airplane.
