Battle for Recognition
of Needs To Be Carried
Into Politics by Teachers

c. o. Williams, county superintend-
ent of school, was to address the
teachers of the Richmond high school
at the school building Monday after
noon, on the proposition of incorporat-
ing the needs of teachers into political
platforms for the coming election. His
talk was to be based on the question,
"How Much Will We Back the Party
Which Puts Up Our Problems as a
Part OF It's Platform?"
Superintendent Williams presented
a similar talk to the board Of the Rich
mond Federation of Teachers, last Fri
day, when a request was drawn up
and presented to the school board
asking that all Richmond teachers be
notified of their appointments and
thereby their salaries, by April I.
This request was handed to Superin-
tendent Bentley, Saturday morning.
Further consideration will be given
the immediate problems of the Rich
mond teachers, and their political
aspect, at meeting Of the Teachers
Federation called for Tuesday at 4
p. m. at the high school.

Egg A Day is Schedule;
If Eaton Hen Misses, She
Lays TlU0 in Next Batch

EATON. O., March 15.-Deputy
Sheriff Chester Wehrley has Rhode
Island Red hen that evidently is a
stickler for maintaining laying aver.
age. Seemingly she considers an egg
a day the proper average for laying
hen. So, when she misses laying one
day she comes back the next day and
lays two eggs. Her average had
slumped bit, so on March 10 and IL
she procured two eggs each day, with
an egg each day on the following two
days. Thus far this month she has
maintained the egg-a-day average.
All possibility for her cheating is
eliminated, as her owner employs a
trap nest, from which, after she en-
ters, she cannot escape until released.
Days on which she lays two eggs, she
deposits one about o'clock in the
morning and the second one about 3
o'clock in the afternoon.

OUT ERROR IN
NAVY'SP PLANS
Convoy System Center of
Whole Farrago of Mistakes,
Says Admiral-Persisted In
Old Convoy Plans.
WARNING DISRECARDED
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 5.-German
submarines were enabled to attack
the first convoy of American troop
ships sent to France because the navy
department used an unsafe code which
was intercepted and deciphered, Rear
Admiral Sims today told the senate
investigating committee.
"Only a measure Of good luck
brought the convoy safely to port
the admiral said, and other troop ships
and destroyers were also endangered
through similar incidents early in the
war
THE announcement of the sailing of
the first American destroyers was
printed in Berlin four days before
they arrived at Queenstown" declared
the officer.
=. Old Codes Used.
Admiral Sims said he implored the
department not to send messages re-
gard1ng troop conveys in the code re.
ferred to, but the warning was disre-
garded. All the other allies and the
enemy were using new wartime codes,
he said. while he United States con-
unued to trust invaluable information
to code used for many years.
Information regarding the conveys
oouno lot france was known In social
circles in Paris before even General
Pershing was informed officially, Ad.
mlral Sims asserted. To illustrate the
widespread knowledge of the plans for
the first convoys departure, the ad-
mlral testified that the United States
naval attache at Paris obtained his
first word that troop ships were sail
Ing from woman whose husband had
received the information in a busi-
ness message.
Arrangements Confusing
Arrangements for the early convoys
were confusing" and did not conform
to the allies methods of safeguarding
troops in transit, Admiral Sims said
and the navy department made no ef-
fort to consult him and thus avail
itself of the experience Of the allies
IN handling troop ships.
Regulations for the conveys were
drawn up in the war and navy depart
ments and signed by President VIII
son, Secretaries Baker and Daniels,
General Bliss and Admiral Benson on
May 27, without reference to him, Ad-
miral Sims stated, and his first knowl-
edge of these arrangements came
when he received a copy of the regu-
latfons nearly five months later.
