the town to reward the work of the members of the board with re- election. Members of the school board have done a difficult job ex- tremely well. They are not paid. They devote long hours and care ful study to school questions, and they handle its finances and af- fairs with a thoroughness and care fulness that deserves the greatest praise. over long period of Years these members have worked unselfishly, and 1t Is possible that their efforts have not always been appreciated.
 Quite naturally after their term in office has expired, they are re- elected. This same sort of prob lem comes up not only in the school board, park board, and the other boards in other cities, but also in charitable and other organizations.
 Within the last few years, how ever, there has been a tendency to institute what is called "the re- volving board" which Is to make membe.s of a board ineligible for immediate election after serving a certain number of years. If such 6 custom as this were in effect, 1t would be easily seen that the fail- ure to re-elect any member would imply no reflection on him or his work on that particular board, or cause any loss of standing In the community. Failure to reelect at the present time Is quite liable to seem to reflect on q person, and possibly to embarrass him.
 If new members could be added to the school board at its legal elections with the above thought in mind, we believe that 1t would supply new blood, different inter ests, and in general allow new sections of people to be represent cd. While the education of the new members and the necessity or explaining to them why's and wherefores might take up more time of the board, we believe the general result would be helpful. We, therefore. suggest that this viewpoint be considered as these elections come along--not with any thought of dlscrediting or express ing disagreement with the present members of the board. who have given such fine, long and unselfish service, but with the idea Of max lnK OtltTb btuiV D'VpSi '"'pN'''' bilities.
 Summary
 To summarize our report. we believe that the public schools or Watertown are being conducted economically. that they rank favor ably with other public schools or the state and of tho country. and that in general they are doing difficult job extremely well.

JUCOSLAV|A
AND HUNGARY
NEAR BREAK
Former Expelling Nationals OF
Latter In Reprisal For Killing
Of Alexander.
BY ROBERT III. BEST

United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1894, by United Press
VIENNA, Dec. 6.-Mass expulsion
of Hungarians from go-Slavia in
reprisal for the assassination of
King Alexander brought those coun-
tries to the verge of an open break
today.
BY dozens, scores and hundreds,
frightened groups of men, women
and children were sent to the Hun
garian frontier, torn from their
homes because JugoSlavia holds
that Hungary sheltered the terror
iSt gangs which plotted Alexander'S
death.
Premier Julius Goemboes of Hun
gary summoned Waldemar Ritter
Won Alth, his minister at Belgrade,
home for report.
Mounted police were dispatched
to guard the Jugoslavian legation at
Budapest. Extra patrols of police
roamed the city, fearing mounting
popular anger would lead to riots.
Reports in Belgrade, unconfirm-
ed, said $4,000 people in all would
be expelled.
United Press dispatches from cor
respondents on the Jugo- -Slavia
Hungarian frontier brought pitiful
stories of the groups of frightened
peasants arriving from their homes
Of many years-the babies among
them natives of JugoSlavia.
League Considers Complaint
The League of Nations council
was meeting at Geneva to consider
the Jugoslavia complaint that Hun
gary sheltered the Alexander assas-
sination gang.
Many diplomats here at "the
crossroads of Europe" feared a
break between Jugoslavia and Hun
gary.
Possibly by coincidence, the grave
dispatches regarding the Jugosla-
Wan Hungarian situation were in
terpolated with others telling of
moves by three countries, all init
mately concerned, to increase their
armed strength.
Hungary's government was re-
ported to have decided to present
identical demands at Geneva, Paris,
London and Rome, demanding the
right to rearm, on the ground that
Austria and Germany, its World war
allies, were doing so.
The parliament of Czechoslova
kia, fellow member with Jugoslavia
and Roumania of the little entente,
passed a bill extending the term of
military service to two years. The
Roumanian government decided to
introduce special armament taxa
tion totalling 2,500,000,000 lei (S25,-
250,000) to be used in the national
defense.

GRAVE CRISIS
OVER BUDGET

TOXIC, Dec. 6. W.P)-A govern
mental crisis threatening dissolu-

eral election was prolonged tonight
by the decision of Seiyukai party
leaders toward a compromise on the

Peace efforts struck an uneXpect-

meeting at which the compromise
offered by Premier Keisuke Okla
