LONDON. Dec. 1.-THE Daily

10 tkeir respective cabinets.
While Poincars did not succeed
IN having the anles adopt his pro-
gram for seizure OF the German
Rhineland industries and the Ruhr
coal fields. he was successful IN pre-
venting their complete rejection.
IL was significant coincidence that
the British government should an
nounce its intention OF building two
new dreadnsughts permitted under
the terms OF the Washington con-
ference agreement. just as the pre-
mier's conference was tottering into
collapse.
British newspapers for the most
part took a gloomy view OF the sit
uation.
Hope was expressed, however, that
private negotiations between now
and January win enable the allies
70 get together.
Present Better Plan.
The Daily Mail says Il IS up 20 the
British 10 present a better plan in
Paris or else accept the Poincare
proposals.

labor party and socialists, were glee-
ful because Premier GIusso.inPs at

torship failed"

italian fascist. the most bitter foe
OF the socialists and communists IN
Europe.
Although no failed 20 get his rep
arations plan adopted, Premier
MussOhnl was in a buoyant mood
when no departed.
a report came from Paris that
the Poincare government may be
compelled TO resign and Italians TO
accept the French military mea-
sures proposed against Germany.

The nations farmers were urged
20 declare war on the big grain ex.

president OF the u. s. Grain Growers
In an address before the annual
American Farm Bureau convention,
Cunningham told the farmers to

'The American farmer has n right

STRIKERS ARE NOW
j UNOER CONTROL
GEN. SHUTS RELIEVES THE SIT
UATTON IN SOUTH AFRICA.

johannesburg, South Afric a,
We have the situation well in hand,
a telegram from General Jan c..
Smuts, premier of the union of South
Africa to the government announced
today. Smuts is here in the Rand
mine war which famed up Friday
and Saturday. More than 1000
strikers had been rounded up by
government troops and casualties m
200 killed and 900 wounded had
been reported. After savage fight
ing troops which had been brought
into action recaptured Benoni and
Brakpan which had been held by the
the rebels since Friday afternoon.
The encounter at Benoni was partic-
cularly bloody. Miners murdered
their prisoners and set fire to build
ings before being driven out at the
point of bayonet. Recapture of
these two towns relieves a situation
which had threatened to end in the
fall of central johannesburg to the
miners. General SHUTS arrived here
yesterday. He had a narrow escape
when his car was fired upon and
struck by bullets. He was unhurt.

TEACHERS PAY
RANGES HIGHER
INTERESTING REPORT MADE BY
BUREAU OF TEACHERS AP-
POINTMENTS AT STATE ~"

Vermillion, March 13.-While the
trend of salaries of school teachers
generally has been slightly down
ward during the last year, the bu-
reau of teachers appointments of the
state university has just made a re-
port that shows that the salaries of
teachers of all classes, placed by the
bureau this year, average higher
than last year.
The meaning of this seems to be
that the more desirable places are
being filled by higher grade teach
ers-that boards of education take
much more pains than formerly to
find the best prepared instructors for
their top-notch positions.
The bureau had total of 62S
places to fill, 43S of them in South
Dakota, the total being divided about
equally between the grades and high
school. The lower grades, it appear
ed, paid at least as well as the high
er positions, preparation and exper-
ience being considered. Also 1t was
noted that the positions in the large
city high schools paid less or no more
than those in smaller places.
The average salary of inexperienc-
ed holders of the state certificate
placed by the bureau was $1,167
this year, and 81, ,164 last year; mex
perienced women holding the A. b.
degree received an average of ST.
421 this year and $1,3S6 last year,
inexperienced men with the A. B.
degree, $1,S45 this year and $1,800
last year. Experienced teachers
graded considerably higher in all
classes.
The bureau is highly gratitfied at
the results of the present year, those
in charge feeling confident that de-
spite the financial depression there
seems to be no tendency to relax the
standards or greatly reduce the sal
aries in the public schools.

BOOZE, AUTOMOBILE

WILD PARTY STAGED BY A son

Kalamazoo, Mich, March 10
John Duval Dodge, son of the mil
lionaire automobile family, of De-
troit, was in Jail here today charg-
ed with driving an automobile while
intoxicated and violation of the
state liquor laws. The arrest of
Dodge and Rex Earl, local boy, fol-
lowed what Prosecutor Stephen Wat
ties characterized as a wild party
Saturday night which was climaxed
by young normal student girl div
ing from speeding automobile on the
country road. The girl was seri-
ously injured and lay in the road for
some time before being picked up by
farmer. Dodge and Earl picked
the girl up on the streets of Grand
Rapids Saturday night, Wattles said.
Two other girls also were in the
party. Wattles said the normal
school girls were terrorized.
