Representatives of the Grade
Teachers Association of this city

was occasioned by the bonus of

feet. The teachers committee had
presented the board of education
with a petition to the effect that the
teaching staff requests the making
of this bonus part of the salary
when the new budget is made up.
No definite action had been taken
by the board prior to the meeting
and a definite answer could not be
given.
Another petition that was taken
into consideration was the reques.
from ninety residents of the first
ward. In this. it was asked that

ened as the hours are too long for

provement of the grounds at school

Brazil May Withdraw From
The League Organization

mating Article X from the covenant
of the League of Nations before
the end Of the present session of the
assembly would occasion no surprise
here. / was declared when the as
sembly began its meeting this
morning.
Assertions were made that yes
terday's consideration which held in
effect that the article does not guar
antee the territorial integrity of any
member of the league, represented
the view of majority of the dele
gates at the present meeting. fs
This Interpretation and the post
ponement of the consideration of
cer'ain changes in the covenant were
the principal topics of conversation
here today.
Changes Arc Proposed.
These changes which were proc
posed by Scandinavian countries,
were said in no wise to prevent con-
sideration at this session OF .nnx
| Canadian delegate. brought this>M
| clearly by questioning A. j. Balfour,
of Great Britain.
The committee to which was re-
fer6ed the question of how to choose
the four elective members of the
council of the league had not as vet
reported. The question is whether
these members shall be elected for
four years or two. and it is still de-
bated whether their terms of Office
should begin at the first entry of the
council of operation or from the
present meeting of the assembly. II
the latter idea prevails the four rep
resentatives must be elected here.
The chance of Brazil returning TO
her place on the council is consid-
cred excellent, but Greece, 1t Is
thought, will lose her place.
Sweden has strong support as suc-
cessor to Belgium. while Rumshlia,
Czech -Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and
Portugal are eventual candidates.
The chances for the latter were
much improved by the success of DR..
Alfonso Costa. head of her delega-
ticn in putting through an amend-
ment providing that the committee
to study amendments to the cove
nant may consider suggestions from
any sort.

doubts as to the possibility OF OBJ
tanning such a large number, at the
beginning of the campaign. How
ever, after the workers were all en-
listed and the drive commenced. the
local chapter, realizing the almost
incredible response of the people
here. knew that national headquar-
ters need have no fears that the quo
Ia would not be reached here.
The books are not yet closed, but
it Is known that practically all tie
proceeds have already been turned
in. thus the amount mentioned above
is considered final.
Annual memberships. (which cost
one dollar each, number S,681. Con-
tributing memberships, five dollars
each. are 106. and of sustaining
memberships. ten dollars each. there
are twenty-six. and contributions

RUMOR TRUCE
FOR IRELAND
Recent Reports in London to
Effect That Work in That
Direction is Under Way.
FOR PERMANENT PEACE
Seem to be Based Mainly on
Remarks Mace by Premier
Lloyd George in Commons

BY The Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 3-Ieccnt rumors
of important influence working for
the conclusion of a truce in Ireland,
preliminary to permanent peace in
that island are revived by some
newspapers here today.
Suggestion is made that definite
measures of Cancellation are being
initiated. but all reports are very
vagav and seemed TO be mainly
based on remarks made by Premier
Lloyd George in the house of conf
mons yesterday.
A member of the House had asked
the premier whether in view of Iae
approach of Christmas he should not
try to bring about a truce. and the
premier answered he was quite as
anxious as the questioner to see mur-
der in Ireland ended, and would not
have wa ted for the approach OF
Christmas to make efforts in that
direction"
Prepared To Make Step.
IL have repeatedly said" Mr..
Lloyd George continued, that | am
prepared to take any step that will
lead to peace in Ireland"
The supposed movement is linked
by newspaper writer's with the visit
to ireland of the labor commission.
which is at present in Dublin. and
pressure which is said to be broush;
to Dear upon the Irish hierarchy iU
intervene more actively in the cause
of peace. 1t is contended that senti-
ment against anarchy is growing dali
ly in Iceland.
Dublin newspapers also are dis
cussing the possibilities of peace. al
though without contributing any
more definite facts than appear In
journals here.

ROME CERTAIN
Of CIVIL WAR
All Statements Made by Capt.
D. Annunzio Preclude That
Fact Has 5000 Men.
By The Associated Press.

by The Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. All statements
made by Captain Gabriel d'Annun-
zio at Fiume seem to be prelude to
civil war in spite of the fact that
the poet soldier has declared to the
people of that city that 'the blood
of brothers shall not be she'd"
He is urging nationalists non
combatants to build barricades and
resist attacks by Italian regulars,
but is thus far. not finding many fol-
lowers said the Tempo.
"The majority of the people of
Fiume," says this newspaper "guid-
ed by natural Italian good taste and
common sense consider certain of
his phrases grotesque. 1t appears he
wishes to retain possession of the
two little islands of Arbe and Veglia
or to secure the restification of the
eastern frontier of the state of
Fiume.
For these he is running the risk
of civil war, or would have Italy
break her word as solemnly given in
the treaty of Rapallo."
Open Way to Understanding.
A traveller returning from Fiume
who was interviewed by the Epoca
is quoted as saying "the way to an
understanding is still open.
'"The Italian government, how
ever" he goes on, must make up
it's mind that d'Annunzio's legiona-
ries will never agandon the islands
of Arbe and Veglia if the Jugo-
Slavs claim those islands let them
come and get them and let Italy
mind her own business. Fiume and
Italy art two distinct entities"
D.Annunzio is said to have 5000
men in his command.

Decisions Advisory.

The permanent advisory commits
sion was instituted by the council Of
the league at it's meeting in Rome
last May and held its first session at
San Sebastian in August. The COM
mission is at present composed OF
the military, naval and aerial officers
of states represented in the coun-
Gil of the league. Its decisions are
purely advisory and not in any sense
binding, but they represent the
common technical judgment of tlIe
experts of many countries.
1T would of course be perfectly
understood that the presence of the
representatives of the United States
would in no way commit the Amer-
ican government to whatever opin:
ion may be finally put forward in the
report of the commission, nor in
deed can that report itself be more
than a basis for the consideration
by the members of the league, of the
