MONTANA STATE
 IS OBSERVING
 TEACHERS WEEK
Serious Shortage of Competent h. structors Will Be Considered
 By Citizens

HELENA, Mont, March 15-March 15 to 21 has been designated by Governor Sam V. Stewart, of Montana, in formal proclamation. as Teachers week The people are urged to consider the conditions which, it is declared, seriously men, ace the future of the schools of the state.
 Salaries paid teachers are so low that it is becoming more and more difficult to procure instructors and many of the rural schools of the state did not open last fall for lack of teachers, the Governor says. Other schools were hampered by inadequate forces
 Tt becomes apparent" says Gov ernor Stewart in his proclamation, "that we are facing a situation that is little short of calamitous. If our children are to grow in knowledge and be fitted to discharge their duties as citizens of tomorrow, they must have the best that is possible in the schoolroom. During school hours the teacher takes the place of the parent and the future of the child is therefore dependent upon the in struction there given"
 The press, the pulpit, clubs and other social and educational insti. tutions are asked to aid in the ob- servance.

GERMANY FAST SWINGING
 INTO REVOLUTIONARY WAR

WASHINGTON, March 15.-That Germany is fast swinging into a revolutionary war, or a rebellion, s indicated by the news that comes rom all sections of the German Re- public and European capitals. Ber- in dispatches say the two govern ments of Germany are matching wits and forces to gain control of the Republic.
 Berlin dispatches say the revolu- tion has extended to the provinces, except Brunswick and Magdeburg, and Dr. Kapp, Director General, is using ell his efforts to assure the people that the new government means true democracy, greater pro- ductiveness, and the conservation of the rights of the workingman.
 On the other hand the old gov ernment has summoned the Nation al Assembly to convene at Stutt- gart tomorrow. President Ebert Is calling on the Socialists to stand by the old government and to use the general strike as weapon to suppress the counter revolution.

 The indications are that the gen eral strike orders are becoming ef- fective in many sections of the Re- public, and Murtemburg. Bavaria, and Saxony have refused to recog- nize the new government
