CAUTIOUS TONE
IN TRADE
BOTH WHOLESALE AND PTeTAIL
LINES QUIETER.

New York, March 15.-Brad-
streets review of trade for the past
week says:
While business in wholesale lines
continues at good pace, a progress
sive tendency to conservatism is re-
Elected in the weeks trade advices,
and this with inclement weather in
many sections has had an influence in
bringing about a quieter tone in re-
tail trade. Purchasing for immediate
needs is reported as in general satis-
factory. but there is a more pro-
nounced disposition to limit commit
ments for the future. The main in
fluence in inducing caution in respect
to providing for more distant require
ments is the feeling reflected in dis
patches from many quarters that
prices have about reached the top,
and that readjustments in a down
ward direction may be locked for in
the not distant future. 1t is, of
course, to be recollected that the pres
ent is between seasons period, when
the spring has not yet opened, and
when a quieting down of activity in
retail lines is naturally looked for.
At the same time. the distribution of
many commodities for which the need
is fairly constant, such as dry goods,
shoes and groceries, continues active
in most places"

FACE 4 SHORT
AeE0F TEACHERS
SERIOUS CONDITION IN SCHOOLS
OF THE COUNTRY.

Washington, ID. c., March 15.-The
country is faced with a serious short
age of school teachers, chiefly
through failure to provide salaries
according to reports to the United
States bureau of education.
Conditions are becoming slightly
in some sections compared with those
of last October, when the National
Educational association conducted an
inquiry into the situation. Based on
returns from state school officials
the report shows that on February 13
last there were 1929 schools closed
because of lack of teachers, and Al
800 being taught by teachers charac-
terized as below standard" Greater
shortages are shown to exist in south
ern states.
Salaries paid teachers in 1918, sta
tistics show, were on an average of
$606 for elementary teachers and 81
OBJ for those teaching in high
schools.

LODGE SUBMITS
NEW SUBSTITUTE
MASSACHUSETTS, SENATOR IN.
PRODUCES SUBSTITUTE FOR
REPUBLICAN ARTICLE

Washington, March 15.-The SUBJ
stitute for the republican Article X
reservation to the peace treaty was in
troduced in the senate today by the
republican leader, Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts. In general, it fol-
lows the form of the draft agreed on
several days ago in bipartisan COM
promise negotiations.
AS presented, the reservation reads
as follows:
The United States assumes no OBJ
legation to preserve the territorial in
tegrity or political independence of
any other country by the employment
of its military or naval forces, it's re-
sources or any form of economic dis
elimination, or to interfere in contro-
versies between nations whether
pembers of the leagAe or not under
the provisions of Article X, or to en-
ploy the military or naval forces of
the United States under any article
OF the treaty for any purpose unless
in any particular case the congress,
which under the constitution has the
sole power to declare war or author
ize the employment of the military
or naval forces of the United States,
shall in the exercise Of full libetey
of action by act or joint resolution so
provide"
While the reservation was offered,
it was declared among the republi-
cans that the negotians had lined up
almost enough votes to ratify the
treaty on that basis but final agree
ment had not been reached. The re-
publican leaders planned to obtain
a vote late today.
In presenting the substitute, Sena-
tor Lodge said he did SO in the inter-
est Of compromise and not because
the new draft represented any sub
stantial change in the meaning OF
the reservation.
II do this" he said, "in full con-
sOnance with what I have stated on
the floor of the senate several times
I do not feel that I should be justi-
fled in assisting defeat of the treaty
on mere question of the phraseol.
ogy of any reservation. If I thought
the modification made any change In
the substance Of the reservation,
not only should not offer it but ]
should vote against the treaty with
it included"
It was apparent that the republi
can leaders had failed to unite theil
colleagues behind the new reserva.
tion. Senator Frelinghuysen, repub
lican, New Jersey. who voted for rati
fication last November, told the sen
ate the modification had a weakening
effect and that he would not suppor
any reservation which did not go a,
far as the original. He offered {
substitute.
i The irreconcilable opponents o.
ratification also indicated they woult
not vote to substitute the new draf
for the old one but leaders insistee
they would hold close to 80 votes
Compromise advocates among tn,
democrats predicted that about tn
same number ON their side woul,
vote for the substitute. It takes s.
to ratify, however.

darkened. The crowd then continued
its discussion on the street.
Despite repeated statements by per-
sons instrumental in calling the meet
ing that no minors would be allowed
to attend, the gallery of the theater
was filled with boys under the yot-
ing age. Police Commissioner C. R.
Huntly, who is supposed to have had
charge of the police detailed at the
meeting, refused to grant the request
of M. E. Blystone that the students
be barred, it is said.
The meeting was opened by F. D.
Brown, and John Longstaff was chos-
en- chairman. The first speaker was
Mr.. Blystone, who read list of char
ges made against A. o. Bowden, prin-
cipal of the high school and superin-
tendent-elect of the Huron city
schools. The audience was calm
throughout the reading of these
charges, but the stiffness was omi-
nous. The committee to investigate
these charges and determine the fit
ness of Mr.. Bowden to teach in HUI
ron was appointed by the chairman
and motion to adjourn was made
and passed before the crowd could
get time to intervene.

OBJECTS TO
CASH BONUS
FRANK KEECH, FORMER LIEU
TENANT COLONEL, TAKES
STAND AGAINST 1T.

Washington, March Is. The
frank statement by a witness that
members of congress would support
soldier relief legislation in order to
get votes started a rumpus today in
tn house ways and means commit
tee, considering the multitude of bills
dealing with the subject.
Frank p. Keech, a New York
broker, formerly lieutenant colonel
in the inspector generals department
opposing additional compensation for
former service men, declared some
legislation might be expected be-
cause of political pressure. The in
ference that members would be
swayed through fear of losing votes
was characterized by Chairman Ford
ney as an insult to the committee and
congress.
Keech replied that his statement
was not intended to be insulting, but
that 1t was nevertheless true.
George M. Rushmore of New York
City, former sergeant, testified that
soldiers did not consider the possible
harm to government finances which
might result from payment of q cash
bonus. A great majority of those re-
ceiving money would spend it foolish
ly in six months, he said.
Rushmore, member of the legion,
said members of his post did not
think the legion "ought to club con-
gress into giving a bonus," but, he
added, "It lis only human to take 1t
| if the government is willing to give
it,"

FEAR Of CIVIL
WAR IN GERMANY
MUCH DIVISION OF THE PEOPLE
Is APPARENT.

Berlin, March l5.-RepOrtS re-
ceived today indicate that Germany is
divided in allegiance to the new revo-
lutionary government and old repub-
lican government of President Eb-
erts.
The South German states, accord
ing to the advices, have not accepted
the new revolution. There was fear
in many quarters that Germany is at
the beginning of grave civil war.
Reports from many sides said that
disturbances had occurred. Thirty
have been reported killed, 80 wound
ed and hundreds of stores have been
looted at Essen.
A general strike which had been
called by Ebert before leaving Satur-
day was largely effective today.
Trains had been stopped, the running
water supply had been cut off in
many districts, restaurants were
closed and the suffering is beginning
to become acute, particularly among
the poorer classes. In some places
there was a disposition to believe
that the revolution will be short
lived. Reports regarding the where
abouts of Ebert and his war minis
ter, Noske, were conflicting. No con-
firmation of their location has been
reported. Noske is reported forming
military forces to act against the rev.
lutionists.
. Paris, March 15.-The latest infor-
nation from Germany received by
the French foreign office indicates
that the new revolutionary govern
ment of Dictator Won Kapp is doomed
to failure. Majority socialists, demo-
Gratis and even some sections of the
.reactionary elements have repudiated
the revolution, the foreign office ad-
vices asserted.
Organization of a purely Prussian
cabinet. apparently is Kapp's only
hope.
A Berlin telephone communication
from Bavaria today announced the
restoration of monarchy had been
proclaimed in Bavaria.
