with the likelihood of woman suf-

the vote to eighty per cent of the

ice they can give will be to sec
that their vote goes to the party

to remove educational limitations
from the children of the countr".
Teachers have never been in poh-

"There is a great and growing

"The basis of the cause of these
which threaten the ef-

failure to pay teachers adequate
wages is a national sin, long con-
fessed but unatoned for"
The average yearly salary of the
teacher in 1919 was S634, the pc

a ten per cent increase during that
year. More than 10000 rural

CE ERMANY To BE
MADE To ADHERE
To PACT TERMS
Allies Make No Further An
nounCements Regarding
Huns Sending Troops Into
the Ruhr Coal District.

Paris, March 4.--Nothing has
been announced regarding France S
next step with regard to the send
ing of German troops into the
Ruhr coal basin, with the exception
of q vague official statement which
says that any military measures
the French government has under
consideration are merely for the
purpose of forcing Germany to ad-
here strictly to the terms of the
peace treaty.
THE military measures under
the governments consideration
have as their sole object the recall
Of Germany to respect for articles
AZ and A of the peace treaty,
which forbids the presence of Ger
man troops in the zone fifty kilom-
eters east of the Rhine" the state
ment says They are, therefore,
purely restrictive measures
The term used in the official
statement is measures of "astre-
inte," a legal expression conveying
the idea of both penalty and con-
straint. Such measures are taken
by the afternoon newspapers to
mean the occupation of Frankfort,
Hanau, Homburg and Darmstadt.
The newspapers express the belief
that official announcement of the
notification is only awaiting Pre-
mier Millerand'S notification of
and consultation with the allies,
The note of DR. Goeppert, head of
the German peace commission,
with regard to the entry of German
troops into the Ruhr district re-
calls that the German government
had accepted, after hesitation, that
such entry should have as a couu-
terpart allied occupation of Frank
fort, Darmstadt, Hanau, Homburg
and Dieburg after a certain delay,
presumably If the troops should
not be withdrawn after "A fixed
time.
Receipt of the note, which was
addressed to the president of the
peace conference, was announced
by Premier Millerand saturday.
Mr. Goeppert offers the fresh
guarantee that an allied commits
sion be sent to the Ruhr valley to
verify that the presence of troops
is necessary.
Comment has been aroused here
by the fact that the note was ad-
dressed to the president of the
peace conference and not to the
French premier. The afternoon
papers deduce from this that Ger
many hopes the allies judgment Of
her case will differ from that Of
France.
1t is understood that DR.. Goep-
pert in his note declares the Ger
man government is unable to with
stand the appeal of the distracted
population of the Ruhr region, who
are imploqng protection against
brigandage and demanding the re-
establishment of order.

SUCCESSFUL TRIP MADE

Dapton, O.. April Army of

as entirely successful" the first
test flight of new especially de-
signed armored triplane.
The flight lasted half an hour,
during which the ship was ma

One difficulty encountered, army
officials said, was the failure of

causing the engines to become
overheated. They declared this
trouble could be easily remedied
and the plane will make another
flight early next week.
Vital parts of the plane are
protected by heavy armor and for
