To Blow Up German Ships at Scapa Flow THIS DECISION FINALLY DIsPosEs OF CUES TON WHICH HAS CAUSED MUCH
 DISCUSSION

London, Jan. 6-German warships sunk by their officers in Scapa Flow will be blown up soon, it was stated here today. The decision to dispose of the vessels in this way followed the completion of Investigations by a special commission representing all of the Allies. Experts employed by the salvage department of the British Admiralty spent several weeks taking soundings in Scapa Flow, and the in forma ton they furnished the com mission was used as a basis to deter mine whether the ships should be raised Or destroyed.
 The decision, announced in the fore going despatnch, to blow up the Ger man ships sunk in Scapa Flow appar- ently disposes finally of a question which has caused a, great deal of dis cussion in all the allied countries. The almost insuperable task of raising the vessels and the possibility that the sa1vaged materials would not be of great value were believed to have weighed heavily in favor of destroy ing the vessels by explosives.
 Scutt1ing of the units of the Ger man fleet interned at Scapa Flow occurred on June 21, 1919, and was carefully arranged by officers and crews Nine battleships, five battle cruisers, eight light cruisers. and numerous smaller craft were sunk while others went ashore in haH s1nken condition. All explosives had
 been removed from the vessels by allied officers, and the only means of destroying the fleet was by open ing the sea cocks. The ships wen' down slowly with the German flag which the crews had hoisted, show ing at the mast heads. The flying o' g. red flag at noon was signal TOT the wholesale Sinkings.

 HE FAVORS TWELVE
 MONTHS OF SCHOOL
ALSO BELIEVES IN 12 MONTHS SCHEDULE OF PAY FOR TEACHERS-BOARD MUST GRANT AT LEAST $75O,OOO FOR
 NEW SCHOOLS

That the Board of Apportion- ment must give the school board at least S75O,00O of the $2, 2,50O,OOO asked for building purposes and an increase of 25 per cent if the board is to be able to run the schools proper ly in 1920 is the opinion of Su- perintendent Samuel J. Slaw- son. Mr. Slawson also said this morning that he favored a + months schedule of pay for tht teachers and 12 month school year instead of the 40 week system now in use.
 Mir. Slawsop points out that should the board get only $S00,000 they would only be able to buld the Grand street school which has been planned and the land made ready. The cry ing need of the city is a new High school. With $75O,O00 the Grand street school could be built, the land purchased and plans drawn for the new High school which could be started in 1921. Without this mones- the land could not be bought and without the land no plans could be drawn for the building.
 on the first of next month the superintendent claims that over 300 more boys and girls will enter the high school and this is already crowded and on part time with the old High school being used as an overflow school. The addition of 300 more boys and girls on February 1 will mean that the entire two build ines will be on part time with a five (Continued on Page SiX)

ness" true story that is worth repeat
ing. Harry got the story first hand
from witness Of the incident which

toned himself in the entry yestibule
Of the car and every-so-often would
lean out Of the open door.
In making a sharp turn the car
caught the inebriate off his guard and
the conductor looked up from his coll
Iecting just in time to see his pas
senger pitch off Of the car steps.
When the car had backed up the
fallen one, the first question graciously
asked by a member Of the crew gas:
"Are you hurt ?"
NO was the reply Did we nave

'No accident" the conductor reas'
