Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of
Cork, finally succeeded in starving
himself to death in Brixton Jail, a
martyr" in the cause of Irish free
DOM The second death among the
hunger strikers in prison in Cork also
was recorded. These events deeply
stirred all the Irish, in Ireland and
America as well, and there were nu-
merous masses and other ceremonies
ia connection with the deaths. The
British authorities took every .precau-
ton to guard against outbreaks, and
presumably they were seconded in this
by the wiser among the Sim Fem
leaders. For the latter know that
these would but bring on more re-
prisals and further repression.

Though not so important an event
as it would have been before the
World war, the death of the king Of
Greece may lead to developments Of
some moment in that country. Alex
ander died on Monday as the result of
a monkey bite. The state council at
once decided that the throne should be
offered to his younger brother, Prince
Paul, but stipulated that if he accept
ed former King Constantine must for
mally renounce his claim to the crown.
Paul let it be known that his decision
must be made by his father. There
is chance that if he declines the
throne will be offered to Prince Chris
topher, Constantines brother, who
early in the year married Mrs. Will
liam B. Leeds, an American. Still
more likely, however, is the establish
ment of republic, probably with Pre-
mier Venizelos as it's first president.

The expected concerted movement
of the Reds against Baron Wrangel in
southern Russia has not developed
very rapidly, possibly because the Boil
sheviki are too much occupied in COM
batting revolts within the territory
which they control. The latest of these
outbreaks are reported to be in the
regions of Odessa, KherSOn and POdO-
liza. That the situation in the Moscow
district is serious for the soviet gov
eminent is indicated by the fact that
Dzersjinski, president of the extraor-
binary executive committee, has been
appointed commander in chief of all
the troops there. He is the most bru-
tai of all the Bolshevist leaders and is
considered responsible for much of the
Red terrorism and for many murders.
Meanwhile Wrangel continues to in
fiict defeats on his adversaries and to
capture prisoners and material; and
he does not seem to have lost any
ground to the Reds.
The all-Russian soviet has ratified
the peace treaty with Poland, and has
given the Poles more territory than
they asked at first, in return for a.
pledge not to help Wrangel.

Some of the farmers of Kansas,
Oklahoma, Nebraska and the North
western states began last week their
strike" against the low price OF
wheat on the Chicago board of trade.
Following the instructions of their or
ganization leaders, they are withhold
ing their wheat from the market, and
the effect of decreased receipts began
to be felt at once. In the vicinity Of
Wichita, Kan, farmers picketed the
roads, urging those on their way to the
elevators to turn back.
The wheat raisers of Iowa were
urged to take part in the strike" by
e. A. Cunningham, secretary of the
state farm bureau, who said the Iowa
wheat crop cost $1.SS bushel to har-
vest and the oats crop cost IS cents a
bushel. He blamed manipulation for
the recent sharp declines in prices OF
grain. "There is no justification for
the tremendous break in the market"
he said. "We believe a reaction must
come. We urge every farmer to with
hold his commodities.
1.-THE siSSation cannot become more
serious and a further decline cam do
nothing more than to add to the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation. On the other
hand, reasonable reaction would
probably avoid financial ruin"
The farmers are asked by Mr.. Cum
ningham to buy nothing but essentials.
Farmers complain that they have to
pay high rates to borrow money to
handle the bumper crops.
Meanwhile Canadian wheat, which
is coming into the United States duty
free for milling purposes, is being
bought in large quantities by mills and
exporters in this country. The duty on
Canadian wheat was taken off by Pres
ident Wilson at the suggestion of
Wheat Director J. III. Barnes in the
effort to reduce the cost of living. Il
was expected that in this way our
millers would be enabled to lower the
price of flour; the effect was limited,

During the first electrical storm of the year which occurred in this sec ton early Monday evening barn owned by Stannard Blatt of Colches- ter was struck by c.htning and burn ed to the ground. me barn is located on what is known as the Sheriff Jackson place in Colchester. The bolt apparently struck in the center of the structure which was almost in stantlg 9 mass of flames.
 Fine family, who were at home at tl1es fine, with the aid of several neighbers, saved all the livestock in the building and almost. all of the farm implements apd an automobile. The house and another barn are To- cated near the destroyed structure and it was thought at first that these would not be saved but fortunately the wind was blowing away from these buildings and they were saved
 The barn and contents were valued at about $3,00e and only partially covered by insurance. The loss will he about 5000. The blaze was spec i tacular and attracted neighbors from
 some distance to the place. They formed a bucket brigade and did ex- l celIent service in preventing the fire l from spreading and in getting the

EXPLAINS WHAT SALARIES
 ARE OFFERED TO TEACHERS

Because of what seems to them to be a misunderstanding on the part or the public concerning the salaries of feree. to teachers by the town school committee, the publicity committee of the. Teachers league issued the fol- lowing statement Monday night:
 On March 9th a petition signed by 99 teachers was presented to the com mittee requesting additional compen- sation to the present years salary to the amount of S200. Many towns, in and cat of the state, realizing the con stantly increasing cost of living. have granted additional pay to their teach CTS for the present year. The commit tee felt that they were unable to conn., ply with the request of the teachers.
 In presenting the contracts for the year 192o-1921 Superintendent Graham announced the following action taken by the committee: That they voted a flat increase of S2o0 to each teacher for the coming year, making the teachers salaries for 1920-1921 range from s900 to $1.20o. The majority of the teachers will receive less than S1,2o0
 The committee established a maxi mum of $1, $50 to $1 ,450 to be attained by automatic increases of $75 yearly. This maximum can be obtained by no teacher, regardless of her years of ser vice, until the year s192S-1924, because the S75 yearly increase does not. begin until 1921-1922. The maximum S1,S50 to S1,450 is not available to meet present needs. Those teachers who have not yet reached their maximum will receive $40 in addition to their flat increase. Thus the younger teach CTS will receive an increase of S24O compared to $200 for maximum teach CTS. Inexperienced teachers entering the service 1920-1921 will reach, in seven years, the maximum, which ths teachers with years of experience tc ] their credit must now serve an addi. i tional four to attain.
 Because of almost unanimous dis.
 satisfaction with the decision of tht
 board, the Teachers league sent { delegation to the board requesting
 flat increase of s4oo fqr each teache payable 192o-1921.
 i The granting of such an increas,
 will show recognition and appreciation
 of the years of faithful service givei
 by the vast majority of the teachers

EXTRA PAY FOR TEACHERS
 NOT LEGAL SAYS JUDGE

Tn the superior court at New Ha- ven e,1day Judge Webb denied a writ of mandamus by Waterbury school teachers to compel the town treasurer to pay them an increase in salary as voted by the board of school visitors. Judge Webb uphelds the town treasurer in his contention that the payment of the increased salaries would be in violation of the constitution of the state. He holds that the teachers were under a stipu- lated salary to the end of the school year and that such salary cannot be legally increased.
 The case is interesting from Nor wich> standpoint as the Norwich teachers asked for an increase in this years salary but the town schoo. committee declined to grant
