Of way employees, agreed upon sched-

them practically upon the basis in ef-
feet prior to the increases which were
granted by the United States railroad
labor board, effective May /, 1920. .

GENERAL MITCHELL
SAILS FOR EUROPE

WASHINGTON, Dec. Brig. Gen.
William Mitchell, assistant chief of

row for Europe to study aviation in

to development Of aeronautics in Eng
land, France, Italy and Germany. Of

department officials included posi-
tive statement that the visit had been
in contemplation for several months
and was not prompted by any motive
for the removal of General Mitchell
from his present office in Washington,
despite unauthentic reports given
circulation in some quarters that the
general would be relieved.
General Mitchell, it was said Off
cially, would sail from New York to-
morrow in his official capacity and
would return to his same assignment
here at the expiration of his temporary
duty in Europe. Ii was emphatcally
stated that there had been no disagree
ment between Major General Patrick,
chief of the army air service, and his
assistant. Reports to the contrary
were declared to be entirely without

CONTRACTORS PAID
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Building Officially Accepted by School
Board With Payment to
Builders.

]. II. Workman, principal Of the
Pensacola High School, stated last
night that he felt that the high school
had entered upon very suspicious
period of its development. Yesterday
morning at a meeting of the school
board the sum of $3.50 was paid
over to the contractors for the new
high school building, which is entirely
free from debt, and yesterday after
noon Mr.. Workman received a letter
from Joseph Roemer, professor of sec
ondary education, and chairman Of the
state committee of the southern COM
mission, stating that the Pensacola
High School was continued on the list
of standard high schools, without
single criticism, at the annual meeting
of the Southern Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools, which
recently convened in Birmingham.
This means that graduates from the
Pensacola High School may be adj
mitted to any college of the south,
without further examination, and
means much for the rating of the fac
ulty, the equipment of the school and
in every way which makes for school
betterment.
To be a senior high school is a state
honor much coveted, but to be rated
as a standard high school means much
for the graduates, who may go out
from the school to other colleges of
the country, after passing the high
school examinations, and enter with
out further preparation.
Professor Workman said last night
that he felt much pleasd at all the
good things that We're coming to the
high school, in both the fine new school
building and the continuance Of the
standard rating.

than once since the question of new
deal for China came before the con-
ference. At today's session of the
shantung negotiations Japan agreed
to give up the public utilities Of Kaio-
Chow but made the concess eondi-
tIonal on reference of some points to
Toxic. A Chinese delegate pointed out
that although nominally the CONVERSE
lions had made much progress strings
have been tied" to all the decisions.
Confronted thus by the claims Of
Japan and constantly conscious of the
counter pressure of the Chinese people,
the representative Of the Pekin gov
eminent have found themselves in a
position of increasing delicacy. Their
task has not been made easier by the
presence here of active representatives
OF the rival government of Canton.
Outwardly both the Chinese and Japa-
nese have declared their optimism
over the Shantung situation, but
neither group minimizes the difficult
ties that lie in the way of an agree
ment.
Another point of serious disagree
men as yet practically untouched by
the conference is Manchuria. So some
of the Japanese, at least, are said to
feel that their government should not
move hastily to scrap her warships
and her alliance with Great Britain,
until she has seen clearly what is to
be the outcome of the Washington de-
alterations on the far east.
The feeling here. nevertheless, was
one Of almost universal agreement to-
night, that the Japanese cabinet would
be willing to accept the results of the
negotiations up to date as establish
ing the good faith Of the other govern
ments in attempting a just solution of
the far eastern tangle. The outcome
OF the cabinet meeting probably will be
known here by tomorrow.
While these events are shaping to-
ward a conclusion only the spokesman
OF the foreign governments viii give
any glimpse Of their own policies and
intentions. The Americans are saying
nothing, although they are taking an
active part in the drafting Of the four
power treaty and the exchange on
naval ratio Repeated questions put
to Secretary Hughes have not yet clio
tied an admission that the four power
plan was even matter of discussion.
During the day Mr.. Hughes gave
much or his personal attention TO the
proposed treaty draft and the Ameri-
can delegation met and considered the
latest phase of the situation in detail
Tomorrow Senator Underwood. who
has been absent from Washington be-
cause of the death of his mother, will
a gain take his place on the delegation
and as head of the special subeommit-
tee which is considering revision of
the Chinese tariff situation. The far
eastern committee also viii resume to-
morrow it's consideration of the Chi
nese problems and the Shantung nego-
tiations viii continue !.
Senator Underwood's committee is
understood to have made considerable
progress In its tariff considerations,
on the basis of a IL per
cent import duty in place OF the 5 per
cent to which China now is restricted
by treaties with the powers. Great
Britain is said to have suggested a
10 IL per cent rate, but the subcom-
mittee considered the lesser figure sur
ficient II the resulting revenues are
applied.
