Madame Grouitch painted stirrine

Volunteers Say Board of Esti-

Serious complaint has been made by
New York City school teachers who
enlisted at the beginning of the war
over the working of Mayor Hylan's
Fenner law. They declare it discrimi-
mates against those who volunteered to
serve their country and favors those
who waited to be drafted.
Under the Fenner law the Board of
Education, on December %, adopted a
resolution granting a two months
leave of absence with pay to teachers
who had been in the service The SOL
dier-teachers who are complaining,
however, say the Board of Education
that only those "called" into service
by the draft law are eligible to bene-
fit by it, Those who enlisted, the
teachers say. are declared by the board
not 10 have been "called."
In the same way, the teachers saw,
those who hurried to answer the fi.rt
call for service received only the nav
OF soldiers, while those who were draft

amount allowed by the government and
the sum they normally received from

the teachers for this last discrimina-
ton. Under its provisions, they saw.

obliged to secure leave of absence

Women Will Wage

Against Red Flag:
Anti-SuRrage Association in
Convention Prepares to
Down Equal Rights Issue
al the Next Congress

WASHINGTON, Jan. at the an
hual convention of the National Asso-
cation Opposed to Woman Suffrage
held here to-day, plans were laid for
nationwide movement against the
red ag' movement and against the
proposed Susan B. Anthony equal suf
frage amendment. The latter move
ment Will be fought in the next Con-
gress, as the leaders of the association
feel that the amendment is defeated
Tor the present session
Mr. James w. Wadsworth, jr., of
New York, reelected president of the
association, said she was not in favor
of the alleged attitude of the women's
committee of the National Republican
Committee-namely, that they were
seeking Endorsement of the Federal
suffrage amendment.
"This committee is devoting it's CT
forts to the passage of the suffrage
ame,nidment, rather than to purely Re
publican propaganda" was the state
ment made by Mrs. Wadsworth.
An open letter to Chairman Will
Hays of the Republican National Com
mittee was prepared, voicing criticism
of the personnel of the women's exec
utive committee, of which Mrs. Medill
Mccormick is chairman.
Mrs. Basil Clark, of Brussels, out
lined a programme to fight radicalism,
and asked support for Forthcoming
attack on the NonPartisan League in
the Northwest. Association leaders
said they believed the radical political
movement in this country was asso-
ciated with the agitation for woman
suffrage.
The convention planned to- oppose
resolutions pending in the New Hamp-
shire Legislature favoring the national
suffrage amendments. Mrs. Wadsworth
said that Senator Moses, of New Hamp-
shire had announced that his vote
would depend on the attitude Of the
Legislature.
At to-day's convention Mrs. Wads-
worth was elected president Of the as
sociation; Miss Murray Ledyard Wash
ington, was elected secretary, and Mrs.
Robert Garrett, Baltimore, treasurer.

ToMoRRows FIGHTING SHIPS

Navy Secretary Daniels order tenn
suspending construction of
the. battle cruisers authorized by Con-
.grsss was prompted, it develops, by
radical differences Of opinion among
his naval advisers. Admirals Mayo,
Benson and Sims, who served over
seas during the war contend, it ap-
pears, that ''the most effective CAPT.
tai ship Of today is a high speed bat
ytleship which carries the great gun
power and armor protection Of .
battleship and as much as possible of
the high speed of a battle-cruiser."
The Navy General Board, is said to
disagree with this conclusion, advis-
ing continuance Of the present pro-
gram, which provides both dread
naughts and battle-cruisers.
The proposed high-speed fighting
ship Of the type recommended by the
overseas admirals is termed a cruiser
battleships, to distinguish it from the
two odler types. One Of the argu-
ments against its adoption, as pre-
sented in a Washington dispatch, is
that it would render obsolete all ex-
isting battleships. The speed Of the
new type vessel" it is explained,
would be useless in individual ships,
and to construct an entire fleet of
them would entail a stupendous cost. "
Facing this radical canfiict of opin-
ion among his own experts, Secretary
Daniels has decided, wisely as we
think, to suspend work on the en-
battled battle-cruisers and cross the
seas with three Of his technical aids
to study the problem further. He will
confer, it is announced, with the nav
al authorities Of Great Britain, Italy,
and France in the hope of getting all
the available light on the question.
The disagreement over the type of
tomorrow's fighting ship may puzzle
laymen who supposed that the lessons
Of actual warfare must have de-
termined such questions as this. Evil
