New Jersey, he said, faces the imme-
diate prospect of closing schools or
drawing into the teaching profession
still larger number of those inede-
quately trained and those without any
proctical preparation for the work.
Competition with other states for the
services Of teachers appears unavoid-
able, he said.
The governor declared the scarcity
Of teachers already has caused low
ering Of educational standards end
even the suspension OF classes In the
schools throughout the state. The
crisis Is not limited to New Jersey,
he stated, but looms as menace to
the public schools OF the nation. Many
teachers have been forced into other
fields by the need to earn a living
wage, he pointed out.
IF our children are to be taught by
incompetent teachers. or not to be
taught at all, the end of American
democracy as we know it, is in sight"
the governor declared.

Orders to Shoot 20 Sailors
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Dec 6.-First Lieutenant
Marloh, who is being tried on charge
of having ordered executed 29 sailors
on March II last, succembed to pres
sure and violated his love Of truth
and order to save the fatherland," ac-
cording to witnesses testifying in the
case today Some Of the witnesses
implied that Marloh acted also to
shield General Reinhardt, former
PruSsian war minister.
General Reinhardt was especially
blamed by one witness, although 1t
was admitted that Berlin was in such
a critical situation at that time that
the general probably was justified in
issuing orders for the execution OF the
sailors. One witness asked the Judge
to permit him to testify in secret but
this was refused and he then declared
that Lieutenant Marloh had told him
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
had said the shooting Of the sailors
had saved Berlin from a great mis-
fortune"

her and knowing the regulations of
the park expected some policeman to
admonish her, but she passed on, fol-

the uniformed representative Of the
law.
1t was the once proud Empress Eu-
genie. who bowed beneath the weight
OF SO winters thus plucked withered
flowers from garden that was once
hers. She was revisiting a scene and
poignantly recalling all the happiness,
sorrow and terror which came to her
during the years she was the chiefest
jewel OF the old palatial mansion.
Empress Eugene left France on
July %. the fateful day when the then
proud and naughty Austria sent an
ultimatum to Serbia which was des-
tined to dismember realms and to
change the whole face of history.
She is in close seclusion in her
apartments, refusing to meet any
newspaper men and seeing only a few
of her old friends.

TAKE over MINES
(By Associated Pressl

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec 6.-No-
tfce was served on miners and opera
tors here today by Governor Roberts,
that all the resources of the state in
men and money would be used to pro-
duce coal unless the strike was ended
speedily.
''The owner of a coal mine has not
the right to use his property or decline
to use it, to the detriment and injury
of the country" the governor said.
"And and the other hand the moral
right of the men to strike Is not in
any sense IN absolute one"
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-12-06

Manufacturers not having foresight
enough to prepare in advance for the
effects Of the coal strike, are attempt
ing to penalize more farsighted manu-
facturers who have plentiful supplies
Of coal on hand, and compel the latter
to shut down partially or completely
as the case may be with the former.
This is an injustice to the working
men employed by manufacturers who
had enterprise enough to lay in large
stocks OF coal for future use. In the
present serious emergency due to the
coal strike not one more workingman
or woman should be laid off than Is
absolutely necessary.
II a manufacturer Of non-essentials
who is a user Of power from the city
Light plant under government orders
must close down, we'll and good. If
the light plant under government or.
ders must shut off all manufacturers
from using power thus compelling all
such to close down, it is unfortunate
but necessary.
I If q manufacturer has plenty Of coal
on hand and can use it to keep his
plant running and employing his work
ing force, no existing legal power can
be evoked to shut him down and nc
pressure of any other nature should
be used to persuade him to close down
II the authorities and committees
empowered locally to cope with the
coal situation will act in broadmind
ed and unselfish way along these
lines, suffering and privation due tc
shut downs caused by the coal strike
win be minimized in Richmond. and
