The situation in the Near East

While none OF the nations party
to the naval limitations treaty are
bound to scrap battleships until
the ratifications are exchanged

some battleships to the Darda-
nelles that are destined for the
scrap heap. and. should hostilities
develop she may be disinclined 10

a long time to come.
Such a change of mind by Great
Britain. II was suggested. would
not hasten ratification of the treaty
by France and Italy, who are the
only signatories yet to ratify.
Both Great Britain and Japan have
ratified, as well as the United
States.
For the present. the prospect
is believed to be merely postpone

once the Near East crisis has
passed both France and Italy will
ratify the treaty. Then all five
powers can exchange ratifieations
and the limitation of armaments
will be in effect.

Four Letters Entrusted
To Colleen Seized By

DUBLIN. Sept. 25.-Letters by

dn them the first president of the

Republican forces are in such a
chaotic weakened state that there
s no hope of -overthrowing the
temporary government. His writ
ings are reported to indicate a
marked change in his theories, He
states that he disapproves of some
Of the methods being used by the
Irregulars and that he never sup

Night School Principals

Appropriations Act Holds
Joint Salary Not to Be
More Than $4,000.

Enforcement of the school appro-
priation act may compel the dismissal
Of approximately fifty teachers In
the night schools when night school
principals meet at Franklin School
this morning to determine how they
shall comply with the section requiring
that no employe Of the Board Of Edu-
cation who Is also an employe Of the
government, shall receive compensa-
tion IL the combined salaries exceed
81. 900.
There are more than one hundred
night school teachers. many of whom.
II is said. hold positions with the gov
ernment which would conflict with
the regulation.
One feature Of the ruling which is
regarded as particularly strir.; ant, II
Is said. forbids not only the actual
earning of more than $4,000 but de-
clares that the monthly rate Of in
come shall not exceed an amount
which would aggregate $4,000 IL 1t

months and this fact reduces still
further the earning capacity Of the
teachers.
Makes Constant Trouble.
Practically all Of the teachers in
the night schools. II Is said. have other
employment. This Is made necessary,
II is shown, by the fact that the aver
age night school salary Is about $500
a year.
Heretofore night school teachers
have been hired on a contract basis.
II government employe. who is
teacher, has a salary of 81 700. ne
contracts to teach for $500. making a
total Of $4,000. However. IL the posi-
tioh pays more than $500. IT necessi-
tates his working for less pay than
the regular teachers.
This practice has not found favor
m the eyes of the regular teaching
force and has caused endless
trouble to school officials in raising
and lowering contracts. II a
teachers salary in the government
position is advanced. the school
salary must be lowered. And II it
approaches $4,000 the teacaer rust
be dismissed
Causes Freasent Changes.
AS a result, officials say 1t often
happens that four or five different
teachers are employed for one class
during the year This detracts from
the quality Of instruction.
School officials now plan to place
n 'ght school compensation on a per
diem basis. Whereas the contract
method allowed the salary to be
reckoned over a period of nine
months, the new method will raise
the rate of pay without actually In
creasing the salary. 1t is believed
that the Comptroller of the Trea-
sury may rule that the per diem
compensation method may be adopt
ed W thout the lose of employment
to any of the present teaching staff
Superintendent Baliou has asked
Congress for two successive years
to remove the $4,000 salary restric-
tion. This has been granted SO far
as day teachers are concerned but
the rule stu prohibits employees
of the government from receiving
an aggregate salary OF more than
the stipulated amount.
