which has been widespread in eastern
Europe, is now under control, said Mr..

turn of winter in Russia there is fear
that the disease will reappear, he said,

ness visit to France. He said that the

to the letter as one means of prevent
ing another German invasion. How
ever, there was no feeling in France
that Germany should not be allowed
to recover commercially, he said.
La Touraine brought $40 cabin and
577 steerage passengers, among them
being twelve French brides-to-be. who
are here to marry former American
soldiers whom they met in France.

,ciation to Press Condem-
nation Proceedings to Ac-
quire Title to Property

Legion Fight for
DR.. Tildsley Gets
Warm Backing
Suggestion That County
Chapter Representatives
Appear Before Board of
Education Is Approved

Hearty response is being received
to the suggestion that the New York
County Chapter Of the American Legion
send representatives to the next Board
OF Education meeting to urge the re-
election Of DR.. John L. Tildsley to the
post OF associate superintendent of
schools.
Frnacis M. Fallon, president Of
belvedere Brook Post Of the American
Legion who sent out letters to all
posts In the county urging that they
join in the fight, said yesterday that
replies he had received indicated the
strong interest Of the body in DR..
Tildaley's fate.
Robert McC. Marsh, chairman of the
LIST District of the Legion, which in
cludes Manhattan and the Bronx, has
written:
"Please let me extend my hearty con-
gratulations to you on this stand. I
peiieve you are entitled to the un-
qualified Legion support in this city.
DIR. Tildsley made reputation dur
ing the war for insisting upon Ameri-
canism in the public schools. The enc
mics he made by his patriotic course
in honor to him-unfortunately had
some power, and now when they are
trying to punish him it is certainly
within the function of the American
Legion to come to his assistance"
President Prall of the Board of Edu-
cation, when asked about the election
yesterday, said that two members of
the board, DR.. Ferguson and Mrs.
Murray, are on vacation and may not
be able to meet with the board until
August.
This fact may result in a further
postponement of the election.
Mrs. Grace Strachan Forsythe, presi-
dent of the Interborough' Association
of Women Teachers, who has been
mentioned as a possible successor to
DR.. Tildsley, is understood to have the
Endorsement of Mayor Hylan.

ton, at the conference between school
and city officials on the 192Oand 1921

pied Children for $258.245 for the next

ference. The sum represented an in

been made in estimating many of the
items and the sum was pruned down
