thai and President B. w. Torreyson, was appointed at a recent meeting of the Normal board to study the inn mediate needs of the institution and to submit recommendation to the board to be considered by the latter and passed to the general assembly.
 The training of teachers for the public schools is the most urgent and pressing need in the educational field of Arkansas today, according to Mr. Bond, chairman of the board. High CT salaries in other professions have drawn so many from the teaching profession that it's ranks are sadly depleted and hundreds of schools in the state are closed on account of inability to secure competent teachers. The best method of recruiting, he thinks, is to train young women and men in a school especially created for that purpose, and, as the State Normal is the only institution of it's kind in the state, its facilities must be made adequate for a much larger number of student-teachers, else the entire state will suffer.
 The principal handicap under which the Normal is laboring at present is lack of proper places where board may be obtained at a moderate cost. The one dormitory which the school possesses, has, ever since it's erection been filled to capacity, with long waiting list of applicants for admis- sion. Board and lodging in it can be furnished 20 to 25 per cent cheaper than private boarding houses can furnish.
 To meet this need the committee of the board today recommended the erection as quickly as possible of two additional dormitories, one for boys and one for girls, capable of accom- modating about POO additional stu dents
 The committee also went on record as favoring an increase of the millage tax with which the institution is sup ported, from one-ninth to two-ninths mills. The Normal. with much larger enrolment and with the entire state as it's field, is compelled to main tain itself on the same rate of taxa tion as is given each of the four az ricultural schools, and it Is found i'm possible for the institution to do it's work properly on the limited appro- priations at it's disposal.

rotary of the Navy, ordered a Court
of Inquiry to make exhaustive inves-
tigation into all "indiscriminate kill
ing" of natives in Haiti by American
marines, charged by Brigadier General
George Barnett, former commandant
of the corps, in his report. Admiral
Henry T. Mayo, Admiral J. H. Oliver
and Brigadier General J. H. Pendle-
ton were named as members of the
Court. They are authorized to send

ordering him to return here to testify.
Major General John A. Lejeune, Brig
adler General A. d. Butler and Colonel

ENGLAND FACES
GENERAL STRIKE
PARLIAMENT MAY ADJOURN IF
MINE WALkOUT is
WIOENED.
Government rs Preparing For the
Worst-General Strike Of All Unions
Depends Upon Action of the Rail-
road Workers.

London.-Premier David Lloyd
George will dissolve Parliament and go
to the country in general election if
railroad men and other labor organiza-
lions join the striking coal miners, it
was stated. He would accept the
joint action of the unions as a chal-
lenge to constitutional government
and would ask the people to choose
between parliamentary government
and labor dictation amounting to Soy
ietism. j. FL. Thomas, John r. Clynes
and other leaders are expected to all
wise a limitation of the strike, because
they feel that the country is not ripe
for any great change. The small OPP
position to the Premier, led by II. Fl.
ASQuith, former Premier, will support
the Government coalition in the debate.
The discussion of the Premier'S con-
donation of the policy of repriSals in
Ireland is to be sidetracked for the
time being, the opposition refraining
for fear that it might undermine the
Governments position in the labor
fight. If the railroad men decide to
strike, it would practically force the
other trade unions to follow, rath-
er than suffer themselves to be weak
ened by endangering the success of the
strike. The Parliamentary Labor party
will caucus to decide on it's policy.
One of its moves will be to insist that
the Government distribute to the men
the wage contributions paid by the
men under the unemployment act dur
ing the war. The funds of all of the
unions are triie less than $10O,000,-
600. This will finance the strike for
full month. In the meantime the Gov
eminent is preparing for the worst.
Army and navy leaves of absence have
been stopped. The police chiefs all
over the nation are enlisting volun
teers, to be available in the event dis
order develops. In all areas the lead
ers of the miners have appealed to
their men for discipline and the mait!-
tenance of order

number of battleships will be added to
increase the total. The full number of
first-class fighting craft will be 20. Ten
cruisers, so destroyers and 10 auXili-
aries will complete the ensemble. I'M
pressive as is the proposed Atlantic

SHORTAGE OF CARS is CAUSE
Downward Trend of Coal Production
Noted In West Virginian Fields.

on.-Transportation machin-
cry in the West Virginia mining fields
was decidedly out of gear as compared
with the Improvement in facilities OBJ
served during the period ending Octo-
Der 9, with the result that there was
a downward trend to production. The
new orders Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission instead of increas-
ing the car supply had the opposite
effect, at least on certain roads and in
certain fields. Mines served by the
Chesapeake and Ohio were handi-
capped to a very material extent by
a paucity of cars the first signs of
which were evident when only $500
cars were placed for all mines on the
road named, that being only an So per
cent placement, the result being the
production on the road was cut down
to 14S,000 tons. As might have been
expected under such circumstances
the car supply was decidedly off color
when there was only &C per cent sup
ply available.
