Facing Serious Charges, Supt.
Raymond SchuItheis and
Nurse Jennie Helm Resign
DIRECTORS AIR THE CASE
Use of Profanity and Sale
Of Whiskey Disclosed at
Meeting. Of Special Board

H jelm, are no longer connected
with the hospital They resigned
Friday after serious charges
against them had been aired at d
six-hour meeting Of the board Of
directors.
NURSES SIGN PETITION.
Last Tuesday fourteen nurses at
Casualty signed q petition asking
that Miss Helm be removed.
Miss Helm, according to Evan
Tucker, president of the board Of
directors, believed that Superinten-
dent Schultheis was responsible for
the petition.
This belief, he said, led her to
file a written statement with Cas-
ualty officials making serious
charges against Schultheis.
A special meeting of the board
or directors was then called to
hear all sides OF the controversy.
According to Tucker, here is what
happened at the hearing:
At least one OF the nurses who
appeared against Miss Helm testi-
fled that she had used profanity
while on duty.
SOLD HER WHISKEY.
Miss HELM testified that Super.
intendent Schultheis had sold her
two quarts of whislxey which he
had purchased in Baltimore at her
request.
Although neither OF these charges
were proved, the board of directors
asked Schultheis and Miss Helm
to resign for the good OF the
service Schultheis, who ives at
1913 Seventh street northeast, de-
clared yesterday that he has con-
templated resigning for some time.
He has been superintendent of the
hospital for about eight months.
Tucker warmly praised Schultheis
yesterday. The latter, according to
Tucker, has brought the hospital
to an unprecedented high standard
Of efficiency.

By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Nov. 20.--British govern ment officials considered this morning that all danger of disagreement with France on the question of the eN- crown prince and resumption Of in- terallied military control in Germany had passed. They expected that the council Of ambassadors would reach q compromise unless an unforeseen ob- stacle interposed at the last moment.
 It was pointed out that the question was now largely one of appropriate phraseology in which to strike a mean between the two divergent viewpoints, Tine forecast here was along these lines;
 No iltimatum Planned.
 The proposed joint note to Germany will not be in the form of an ultima tum nor will it give the Germans q time limit within which they must comply with allied conditions. Neither will demand an immediate formal re- ply It will be mainly in the char aeter of a firm. peremptory notice to Berlin that the allies intend to rein augurate allied inspection of German armaments in certain chosen areas still under the authority Of the cen tral government
 On the question of the eX-kaisers heir the note will hold the German cabinet responsible for any overt or subversive acts looking to the restor- alton Of the Hohenzollern dynasty
 British officials consider that their diplomatists have won a partial vic tory over the French, but they show no disposition 10 exult over it.

HIRED GIRL ALMOST EXTINCT.

The hired girl" or the maid of all work, as an institution. is almost extinct. The pay for house work has risen about 250 per cent in 10 years, according to labor study statistics, but the trouble results from there being little or no raw material to draw from. Specialists have replaced the maid of all work and the inex- perienced girl who formerly would hire out to a family is now drawn to the factory and office or 10 the school for domestic science, from which she emerges a skilled cook, nurse or dietitian.

agreement among the entente powers, and concerning which the government officials observe great discretion is that of the gulf between France and Great Britain is considered to reman unbridged and that Germany is still able to count upon disagreements among the allies and, in the Preach view, to speculate on encouragement from London 10 resist the payment of separations.
 Not All Bright.
 Despite the improved outlook, gloomy forboding for the future per sist in some political and government al quarters. These foresee that q break between France and England has only been deferred by the patched-up accord; that the Germans wll find in it reason for prolongiug their resistance. and that before the winter is over situation will arise calling for further action by France, such as the occupation of additional territory that will end the entente.
 A new feature Of the situation is the cquanimity with which this pessi- mistic elements looks forward to such a break. The opinion seems to be gaining ground in these quarters that France and Great Britain would get along better apart, that break would rob Germany of the support she feels she is getting now from London, and that she would be more tractabe if she found herself dealing with a France unfettered by the divergent views of the British government
