Nashville.-"Th lack Of educational
facilities and properly trained teach.
ers for elementary schoals in the ru.
ial districts is playing great part in
the decrease shown in census figures
for the rural communities and the ag-
ricultural countless" said Prot F. F.
Claxton of Washington, commissioner
of education for the United States,
who was a visitor here.
"The salary for teachers has felt
the advances along other lines, and
salaries have been raised one to 100
per cent in the various communities of
the country This is due to the need
for competent teachers and to induce
them to accept places in elementary
schools, high schools and colleges. It
is known fact that about $4,000 ele-
mentary schools of this country did not
open last year on account OF the short
age of teachers and this has had its
effect on the improvement of educa-
tion.
IF all the persons graduated in the
normal and teacher training courses
in the normals and colleges of this
country since the first normal was es-
tablished In 1886 were now alive they
would prove inadequate to supply the
seacher demand at this time. There is
,Iow a need of 10000 new teachers,
100000 being for elementary schools
and 10000 for high schools, and to
meet this demand the normal schools
of the country last year graduated
about 10000 and other universities TO-
900, making total Of 10000 trained
teachers graduated lasts year This
leaves a vacancy of about 10000 teach
hrs to be filled from unframed sources"
Prof. S. l.. Smith, rural school agent
sof the department of education Of the
state, returned from Chicago, where
DE attended conference with julius
lRosenwald, president of the Julius Ro-
6enwald fund, relative to the distribu-
itien of this fund throughout the south
lern states. Mr.. Smith stated that the
exact quotas Of the southern states
would be announced in short time
and 1t is expected that Tennessee will
receive a goodly share Of the appor-
tionment.

CAPT. DoNNELLA, 7S, TERROR or
coUNTERFElTERs, RESIGNS
FROM SECRET SERVICE.
BROKE UP NOTORIOUS GANGS
Veteran Secret Service Man Had Many
Narrow Eseapes-Reputatio For
Fearlessness Won Him APP

Louisville, Ky.-Haying sent almost
5000 counterfeiters to federal prisons,
since he entered the U. S. secret serv.
ice, in 1886, Capt. Schuyler A. Don.
nella, grand old man" Of the customs
house here, believes he has done his
bit and has resigned, effective Aug.

Among the many counterfeiting
cliques that Capt, Donnella helped to
break up was that led by John Rob.
erts, said to have manufactured ST..
100000 in fake notes; the Montgom.
cry gang, in Butler county, Pa, % OF
whose members were convicted; and
the McCarty gang Of Omaha. He
trailed the McCarty crowd for two
years. Donnella arrested Jacobs, max.
er Of a Monroe $1,000 bill, who had
passed 30 of them before they were de-
tected, and helped to bring Miles Ogle,
a Cincinnatian, to book.
The veteran secret service man had
many narrow escapes. He was shot in
the ear at Dayton, Ohio, by man
named Guydon, a member OF the
Driggs-Guydan gang of paper money
makers, Which he rounded up.
Capt. Donella came here in 1899

ALLIED REPLY TO TURKISH OBJ
JEcTloNs DELIVERED TO SUI
TAN's PEACE DELEGATION.
THE ULTlMATUM DELIVERED
thine Has Come to Put End, once
and for All, to Empire of Turks
Over other Nations"
Says Note.

Versailles.-A threat TO drive the
Turks from Europe once and for all"
was contained in the allied reply to
the Turkish objections to the peace
treaty delivered to the Turkish peace
delegation here. Such action might
follow Turkeys refusal to sign the
treaty or her failure to give 1t effect,
the reply states.
yhe Turks were informed in the re.
ply that they must make known their
decision within 10 days. If by July
q, they were told, they had not signi-
fled their willingness to sign the peace
treaty, the allied powers will take
such action as they may consider nee
essary."
The allies made some minor modifi-
cations in the treaty after the Turks
had presented their protests, but 1t is
understood these notifications do not
materially affect the original draft
The allied reply is couched in the
bluntest language, and says
IF the Turkish government refuses
to sign the peace treaty, still more if
it finds itself unable to re-establi5h its
authority in Anatolia or give effect to
the treaty, the allies, in accordance
with the terms of the treaty, may be
driven to reconsider this arrangement
by ejecting the Turks from Europe
once and for all.
"The allies are clear that the time
has come when it is necessary to put
an end once and for all to the empire
Of Turks over other nations"
The reply sGys the Turkish govern.
ment would appear to think its re-
sponsibility in war is less than that
of its allies and that Turkey there.
fore is entitled 70 lenient treatment,
but the allies cannot accept that plea.
The note maintains Turkey entered
the war without q shadow of excuse
or provocation,' and by closing the
straits in the fcce Of the allies "Tur-
key certainly prolonged the war by
not less than two years and caused
loss to the allies of thousands OF.
lives and thousands of millions OF
pounds"
