MEETING VOTES
 ID DUST MEARS
 AS INCOMPETENT


 of Interior Alaska, was whipped in to flame yesterday by the receipt of information from Anchorage in- dicating a further curtailment of construction activities in this divi- sion. The public feeling found ex pression at a mass meeting held at the firehall last evening at which it was decided to take immediate steps to bring about a more friendly and interested attitude toward Alaska on the part of those in charge of the Government enterprise, or upon the part of those who will succeed them shortly if the plans of the meeting are crowned with success. It was the sense of the meeting, expressed in no uncertain manner, that both Chairman Mears and En- gineer in Charge Browne be re- moved from their positions without delay and that men be appointed to succeed them who will take a real interest in Alaska. The re- quest was in the form of motion which carried enthusiastically and | the grounds for removal are alleged incompetence, together with disre- gard for the purpose for which the railroad was originally intended to be constructed.
 Commissioner Mcdonald, who was delegated by the Nenana Commercial club some time ago to meet Secre tary Payne on the occasion of that officials visit to the Alaska coast, but who was unable to do so be- cause of the secretary's unexpected early departure from Anchorage, read to the meeting lengthy letter which he had sent to the secretary, explaining the purpose of the mission on which he had been sent from Ne mana. The letter presents fully the situation in Interior Alaska and should have proved very helpful in informing the secretary regarding local conditions.
 After numerous complaints had been aired, and conditions dis cussed at considerable length. it was formally decided to name committee to communicate with Sec retary Payne for the purpose of securing relief which is deemed of vital importance to the future of Ineterior Alaska and to the success of the Government railroad after it is completed. The committee named is composed of Commissioner R. s. Mcdonald, Robert Joseph Diven, Martin Nash. Dr. J. R. Bowen, Joe Fischer and Herman Anderson. This committee met this afternoon but was not ready, at the time of going to press, to give out anything for publication. *.---:-. ~.-
 Notwithstanding the fact that the meeting was arranged hurriedl! and without general notice to the public, there were about forty in attendance, representative of the town and the district in general. Mayor Joe O'Connor acted as chair man.
 The direct cause of the meeting was the receipt of instructions from Anchorage to close the local ac- counting office and to transfer all of the work to the headquarters of the Southern division. The instruc tions were received by Chief Ac- countant Mcintosh, his orders being to close his department on Satur- day night.
 There is also some talk of trans ferring the accounting force of the stores department to Healy, but General Storekeeper R. s. Donald son informed The News last night that definite action had not been

PROBLEMS OF CLASSROOM AND
ADMINISTRATION DISCUSSED
AT EDUCATIONAL MEET.
Educators Of the Nation Understano
More Clearly Than Ever Before
the soIennity Of the Duty Thas
10 Laid Upon Them.

Salt Lake City.--The teachers Of
the nation were represented at the
first official mass session. on Mon
day. of the National Education ass0ci'
alton, In annual convention.
Deeper realization of the vital par'
that education bears in the develop
ment of the true American citizen
the essential element In the perpetuity
of the nation, was the dominant note.
Through all the addresses ran the
undercurrent that the educators OF
the nation understand today, more
clearly than ever before, the solem-
nifty of the duty that Is laid upon
them, the high responsibility that Is
theirs in shaping the lives and char
acters of those who must soon con-
troll the destinies of the nation.
DR.. E. A. Smith, former superin'
tendent Of Salt Lake City schools,
who made the address Introducing
Chairman George d. Strayer, called
attention to the fact that the exec
utive officers of the N. +. A. realize
the sweeping change that has come
over the minds Of the people as to
the Importance of education.
City Superintendent George N.
Child, who delivered the first Of the
welcoming addresses, pointed out the
necessity for school legislation, which.
like that Of Utah, is aimed to make
the student physically, mentally, vo-
cationally and morally efficient.
Governor Bamberger declared that
his experience during and since the
war have given him an insight into
the priceless value Of education he
never before enjoyed.
DR.. A. E. Winship of Boston. who
made the official response, intermin-
gled his praise of Utah's progress
with terse expressions regarding the
power and influence of the teacher.

The Greek advance was so rapid and
unexpected that the Turks were un-
able to destroy the railway which,
with It's rolling stock, was left intact.
Dynamite had been placed under some
bridges, but the nationalist were in
so great panic that the charges were
not exploded. Their retreat was in
such disorder that the Greeks easily
inflicted great losses upon them and
took many prisoners, with few casual
ties among themselves.

Spa, Belglum.-The joint allied
German conference on the terms Of
the peace treaty has reached another
critical point. The Germans have
been told that they must decide Mt
once whether they will accept the
FrancO-British plan Of disarmament.
The alternative IL contained In the
specific threat that the allies will &C.
cupy the Ruhr or other territories II
Germany can not or does not accept.
The final decision Of the allies sets
forth that Germany must:
Flrst--Immedlately disarm certain
Of Its forces, including the security
police.
Second = Publish proclamation,
asking for the immediate surrender
Of all weapons and firearms in the
hands Of the civilian population.
Third-Abollsh Immediately COM
pulsOry service.
FOurth--Surrender to the allies all
arms. guns and cannon above the
limit fixed by the treaty of Versailles.
The allied decision concerning dis
armament reads: IF, on October 1,
the German army Is not reduced to
16O, 1000, the allies will proceed to oc-
cupy German territory in the Ruhr
or any other part Of German terri
tory, and will not evacuate 1t until all
the conditions Of the present agree
ment have been fulfilled"
The prevailing view among the
Germans seems to be that the allies
haye carried their demands, partic-
ularly the menace Of occupying further
German territory, much beyond any
provision Of the Versailles treaty, and
also, that the allies are taking up
an aggressive position not contemplate
ed by any clause Of the treaty.
The allied disarmament note was
communicated to Berlin on Thursday
at Chancellor Fehrenbach's request,
with the direction that 1t be submit
ted to the reichstag and to the leaders
Of al the parties, whether supporters
of the government or the opposition.
Herr Fehrenbach asked for the view
Of the reichstag and the party leaders.
but said that the decision would rest

FOES Of SUFFRAGE
HAVE BEGUN FIGHT
PROCEEDINGS TO ENJOlN THE
ISSUANCE OF PROCLAMATION
INSTITUTED At CAPITAL.
Claim Is Made That Ratification OF
Amendment by West Virginia Leg
islature Was illegal, Because Ae-
compiished by Fraud.

Washington. - Proceedings asking
that cambridge Colby, secretary OF
state, be enjoined from issuing any
proclamation declaring the suffrage
amendment ratified were instituted in
- District of Columbia supreme
court on July q by Charles S. Fair
child Of New York, president of the
American Constitutional league.
Mr.. Fairchild also seeks to prevent
Attorney General Palmer from en-.
forcing the amendment. Justice
Bailey issued ruling on Secretary
Colby and the attorney general to
show cause July Ii why the motion
should not be granted.
The basis Of the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification Of the
amendment by the West Virginia legis-
lature was illegal, because accOmp-
lished by fraud, and that the pro-
posed ratification by the Tennessee
legislature also would be illegal, on
the ground that the legislature lacked
authority under the states cOnstitu-
ton to act on the measure.
Only thfrty-five states have ratified
the amendment, and, as ratification by
one other Is necessary, the attack on
the amendment through the courts at
this time came as surprise in suf-
frage circles here. An attack on the
legality Of the action of the Tennessee
legislature had been expected. but not
until the legislature had acted.
