Panther Kills Deer In Garrett
County, Is Report

That panther or some other pre-
datory animal had killed and partly
eaten small female deer at a point
bordering on the Maryland and West
Virginia State line near Muddy Greek,
about nine miles from Oakland, was
reported in Oakland and Terra Alta
and vicinity during the past week.
Richard S. Browning, district game
warden, accompanied by six men and
four dogs, last Monday made a
thorough search of all thickets and
rock cliffs within a fifteen-mile cir
Gle of where the deer was found, and
although at that time there was an
excellent tracking snow on the ground
no tracks of the supposed panther
could be found.
Due to the frozen condition of the
remains of the deer, the exact cause
of it's death has not as yet been def
nitely determined. Men living in the
community where the animal was
found declare they heard the panther
screaming in thicket.

NUMBER SPECIAL COURSE
TEACHERS INCREASED
Records Show More Have Prin-
cipal's Certificates In Mary
land Counties than Year Ago

Elementary county school teachers
holding regular first grade and ele-
mentary principals certificates in
October, 1880, showed an increase of
IL percent over the number holding
certificates in the corresponding
period of 1929, it was reported Satur-
day by the State Department of Edu-
cation.
Of approximately 5000 elementary
teachers in service in Maryland coun-
ties in October, 1880, there were 1881
holding regular first grade and ele-
mentary principals certificates, it
was said. This number represents
94.5 percent of the county stats, in
comparison with 93.3 percent for
October, 1929, it was reported. This
represents a gain of SAL percent, or
1903 more teachers holding regular
first grade and elementary principals
certificates in October, 1890, than in
October, 1921, it was said.
Must Complete Course
The holder of a first-grade certifi-
cate must have completed a two-year
normal school course, or it's equiva-
lent, and to keep it valid for renewal
must attend summer school once in
every successive period of four years
after the certificate was issued, it was
added.
In the individual counties the per-
centage of white teachers holding ele-
mentary principals and first grade
certificates varies from 100 to 81,
Baltimore and st. Mary's counties
being at the two extremes respective
ly, it was reported. All but five coun-
ties, st. Mary's, Cecil, Somerset,
Worcester, and Dorchester, have nine
ty percent or more of their teachers
holding first grade and elementary
principals certificates, it was said.
The greatest gain in percentage of
trained teachers since 1921 is found
in Garrett county, which now ranks
second in the State, it was reported.
In 1921 only seven percent of its staff
had training equivalent to normal
school graduation, while now the per-
centage of its staff is ninety-nine, it
was said.

 Force from Japan
Copyright, 1881, by The Associated
 Press.

TOKYO. Nov. LA fresh bri- gade of Japanese troops, has been ordered from Japan to Manchuria following news of a battle on a new front when 300 Chinese and three Japanese were reported slain.
 The fresh troops have been or dered to Manchuria by the En- peror upon request of the Chief of the General Staff. It is said the new troops will replace the Korean brigade on constant duty in Man. churia since September 18. No orders have been issued, however, for sending any of the Japanese force now in Manchuria back to Japan.
 Four Japanse destroyers have been ordered from Port Arthur to Kure, because of the increasing gravity of the situation.
 One cruiser has been ordered from Kokosuka to Sasebo to await further orders.

Intern a tional Complica- tions May Result from
 New Strife

TIENTSIN, Nov. II. - British troops went into the trenches to- day to celebrate Armistice Day as renewed firing between the Chinese City and the Japanese concession threatened battle in which in- ternational complications might re- suit.
 Bursts of fire at the boundary between the Chinese and Japanese parts of the city were renewed with the Japanese garrison giving evidence of feverish activity.
 The British entrenched them- selves around the barracks in the adjacent village of Lao Shihkai.
 The French forces have estab- lished strong patrol around it's area fearing the Chinese, in att tempting to reach the Japanese with guns, might fire over the French territory, which would lead to grave complications.
