Former German Ruler
 Wins Another Battle

Doorn. Holland. Jan. 2t (UP) Former Kaiser Wilhelm has won . battle-a battle of a road.
 Dutch authorities have accept cd Wilhelm's plan for | new road against those of one of Doorn's greatest landowners.
 Original pians for the road would have divided a rose gar den which had he presented to Doorn, and of which he was very proud. Wilhelm got out his maps and figured out an alterna- tive route.

But the white haired. white- besred former Kaiser. despite his 50 years. fought back by argu- ment. letter and telegram. and won. The government sent en- gineers to examine his plan, and the government accepted their favorable report.

COOLIDGE ENTERS WAR CONTROVERSY Says Not to Take Navy Officers
 Statements Seriously ONLY A POLITICAL MOVE Believes Rear Admiral PIunkett's Speech Actuated by Fact There Are Navy Appropriations Pending Before Congress.

Washington, Jan. o4 R - Presi- dent Coolidge sees no reason why the newspapers of this or any other country should take seriously state ments by American naval officers predicting war between the United States and her commercial competi- tors.
 Appropriations Asked It was stated at the White House today where attention was called to a recent speech of Rear-Admiral Plunkett, that the country should know by this time that alarming charges often are made when ap- propriations are being sought in congress.
 Mir. Coolidge is unable to under stand why such a large appropria- ton bill as that for the post office department can be passed without arousing inflammatory statements, whereas the appropriation bills for the army and navy always bring forth declarations that the country is about to be faced with dire con- sequences.
 Muzzling Speech In the opinion of the presiden there is little that he can do about the habit of army and navy officials making this sort of statements. since ha faale that tho moment ba ca1fe attention to them. it is charged that the administration is attempting to muzzle free speech.
 The president believes 1t Is im- possible for 6 man in responsible
 position always to speak his own
 mind. He has found that to be his own case and he has consequently adopted the policy of considering the welfare of the whole country when ever he says anything. 1. This policy he recommends to those who are charged with the na- tional defenses. and he wishes that army and navy officers would take to heart the position of their own country in the world before they launch into any inflammatory re- , marks.
 Won't Br Disturbed While he does not look with faS- or upon any warlike declarations by American navy and army officers, the president is convinced that the people of this country and all other countries will understand the real motive behind such declarations, and will not permit themselves to be dis turbed.

duce them to minimum. One
is the cooperation of parents
and school authorities. Report
cards, whether expressed in
grades, letters, progress charts
or any ither form that these
reports may take, are indica-
tive of the child tendencies.
When these reports show close
proximity to the danger line,
frequent conferences between
parent and teachrs may save
the day for the child as we'll
as the taxpayer. The schools
have always pleaded for this
co-operatiin.
1t may not be generally ap-
preciated by the public but
school systems have adopted
various devices to remedy-this
condition. These involve such
agencies as opportunity rooms,
educational guidance, individu-
al instruction, motivated teach
ing, special provision forthe
undernourished, and health
supervision. Then, too, the pro-
visios for special subjects such
as art music, manual and house
hold arts, has saved many a
child. Thes subjects affird an
opportunity for self-expression
and frequently form the inter-
esf-contact.
Parents must be alert to
their responsibility with re-
gard to the child and the tax
payer so that they may, on
the one hand, safeguard the
self-respect and self-confidence
Of the child, and, on the other
hand, that they may reduce to
a minimum financial loss to
taxpayers due to pupil failures.
