tablishment of q complete system
Of junior high schools in Washington
as means OF providing better edu-
cational facilities for the children and
relieving congestion in both the ele.
rHentary and high schools, is advo-
Gated by DR.. Frank W. Ballou, super.
intendent Of schools, in the fifth sec.
ton Of his annual report, which was
made public last night.
''The situation in, Washington is
most favorable for the organization
and development, In the course OF
several years, of complete system
of junior high Schools" said Supt
Ballou. "A large amount of school.
house construction must take place In
the immediate future. All Of the ele-
mentary schools are filled to capacity
and most of them are exceedingly con.
Eested. The high schools are likewise
SO congested that most Of them have
been obliged to adopt q double shift,
program. From the standpoint OF
finance it will be more economical to
build junior high schools than it will
to build both elementary and sec-
ondary schools. Moreover, a system
Of junior high schools will provide
better educational facilities than will
additions to our elementary schools
and the high schools. BY establishing
a system of junior high schools con-
gestion can be most readily relieved
in both the elementary and secondary
schools"
DR.. Ballou sn Authority.
The fifth section Of DR.. Ballou's re.
port. in its entirety, relates to the
junior high school. and how its de-
veiopment will affect the Districts
public educational system. It also out
lines the superintendent's plan for
qualifying elementary school teachers
for junior high school positions.
DR.. Ballou Is recognized by leadine
educators Of the country as an au.
thoriG on the junior high school
As an educational administrator he
has not only been interested in the
Junior High School movement de an
educational development, but also
has organised and supervised such
institutions before coming to Wash
ington.
THE junior high school," said DR.
Ballou. ''is a comparatively new in.
stitution in the American system OF

an institution which as yet has no,

Since it is q new institution to meet

Ex-PREMIERs IN PRISON
By the Associated Press.


ATHENS, September 3o.-The pre-
feet of police has issued orders to
all residents to bring any arms in
their possession to the police depot;
all violators of this order will be
severely punished.
The manner in which the revolu-
tionary committee has insured order
in Athens has excited the admira-
ton of all citizens and foreigners.
One of the first acts Of the new min
istry will be to send fraternal greet
ings to tn Greek patriarch at Con-
stantinople. Archbishop Meletios
Metaxakis, who was not recognized
by the Constantine government.
Premiers I'm Prison.
The prefecture of police has dis
closed that the following persons are
held In prison awaiting trial: Former
Premiers Gounaris, Stratos and Pro-
popapadakis, who conducted the gov
ernment during the Asia Minor CAM
paign; former Minister of War
Theotokis, Gems. Constantinopoulos and
Dousmanis and Col. Tsontos,
The revolutionary committee has
announced. after conferris with
the ministers of Great Britain,
France, Italy, Holland and Spain,
that there is no doubt the revolution
has created an absolutely new condi-
tion Of affairs, clearly indicating
that the entente nations will favor
Grecian political rights.
According to the Venizelist organ
Typos, the determination of ex-King
Constantine to make Italy his domi-
cile was formed after he was told
categorically that it was not desirable
for him to take refuge on British soil.
Prince Not Exiled.
1t was suggested that he go to
Denmark, from which country the
Greek dynasty sprang. Switzerland
also was mentioned, but the news
paper says that Switzerland, which
afforded him asylum before, did not
want him there again. =
The decision of the revolutionary
committee to ask Prince Paul to re-
main in Greece with the new king
has created wonderment in the capi-
tai, but the Typos correspondent has
been informed tho decision was due
to the belief of the committee that
tho new queen is not expected to
give birth to an heir, hence arose
the idea OF keeping Paul as heir
presumptive to the throne.

French Envoy's Mission
to Turk Leader Re- :.
ported Successful.
DIPLOMATS HOPING
TOCLEAR SITUATION
Tension Relieved as All
Signs Point to Peace
full Solution.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. October 1 (1:o5 a.m.).-
The British cabinet held a two-hour
council. beginning at II o'clock last
night, and then adjourned until 10
many hours Of intensive study Of the
situation throughout Saturday.
1t was announced that there was no
material change in the near east
situation, but this was merely the
Official way Of putting it.
Direct word has come from Con-
stantinople in the Associated Press
dispatches that NJ. franklin -Bouil-
ions mission to Smyrna has been sue
cessful. which means that Kemal
Pasha is ready to consider a peaceful
way out OF the present difficulties.
Further announcement was made at
Constantinople that Kemal would
confer with the allied generals early
in the week and that Kemal has been
requested by Gen. Harrington, the
British commander, to arrange for q
new line between the British and
Turkish forces around Chanak, in the
neutral zone.
Situation Complicated.
A Paris dispatch to tho Exchange
Telegraph Company says that M.
Poincare has handed to Lord Hard
inge. the British ambassador. and
Count Sorza, representing Italy. q
telegram from NJ. franklin Bouillon
relative to his conversations with
Kemal. Lord Hardinge is quoted as
declaring that Kemars attitude Is
very reasonable. g.
No report on NJ. Franklin -Bouil1on's
mission has been issued by the Brit
ish foreign office. but it Is under
stood that the French envoy had
previously reported that things were
in no wise easy in Smyrna, that he
had been seeking to arrange for q
conference at Mudania. but for the
moment Kemars refusal to move his
troops from the neutral zone had
complicated the situation.
Tension remains unrelaxed pend
ing word from Gen. Harrington, "the
man on the spot" in whose tact and
places full confidence. The cabinet
expected to receive a dispatch from
him this afternoon, but waited yainly.
More Troops Sail.
Premier Lloyd George will remain
in London over the week end. In
the meantime the Kemalists in the
neutral zone, as reported in tho As
ISOLATED Press dispatches from Con-
stantinople. are in no way relaxing
their military preparations, and with
delay in the projected meeting be-
tween Gen. Harrington and Kemal
Pasha the danger of premature ex-
ploslon remains threatening.
Fifteen hundred more troops, con-
sisting Of Gordon Highlanders, artil-
lery and other detachments, sailed
from Southampton this afternoon for
Constantinople on the transport
Corsican, requisitioned by the gov
ernment from the Canadian Pacific
railway.
Former Premier Venizelos Of Greece
informed an interviewer tonight that
before he would be able to reply to
the new Athens governments request
to represent it in Europe he~would
need to examine the opinion Of the
allied countries, and, as the French
premier had been unable to sec him
in Paris before Tuesday, he had de-
cided to acquaint himself with the
position in England. but would re-
turn to Paris Tuesday.

you" -

of her refinement.
Fear Of Publicity.
Every known method was used by
the police matron to induce the
young woman to talk. Although she
admitted that her home was in WASH
ington, she was most emphaticin her
refusal to divulge her parents or
relatives names or addresses.

Arbitration Of
Wage Dispute
Begun Today

New Haven, June 3.-Arbitration
of the wage dispute between the Con-
necticut company and it trol1eymen
throughout the state was begun here
today at a, session of the board of
mediation in the county courthouse.
Justice John K. Beach, neutral arbi-
traitor, presided, and the other media
tors, Attorney Joseph Berry of Hart
ford for the Connecticut company,
and Attorney James H. Valley, of
Boston, for the men, were in atten-
dance.
Briefs were filed by both sides to
the dispute and arguments heard,
speaking for the trolleymen, Attorney
Valley referred to the fact that PreSi-
dent Harding had conferred with steel
men on the possibility of reducing the
hours of labor in the steel mills to
eight hours a day. with wage of
only 80 "a cents an hour" asked
Mr.. Vahey. Good God! What have
the average people in America to look
forward to? I do not believe that the
Connecticut company could be class
ed with these people"
Replying for the Connecticut COM
pany, Attorney George D. Watrous
pointed out that since the present
wage had been granted to the trolley
men the cost of living had fallen. in
1920, 20 $40 per cent, and in 1921,
244-1O per cent. He said that the
Connecticut company cannot be ex-
pected to continue the same rate of
wages while these reductions have
taken place.
The next meeting of the arbitrator
will be held in the county courthouse
here next Friday at $3.50 a. m.
