on the recommendation of the state
board of health and Governor

The action declaring the emer-

for school openings was passed
with only one dissenting vote after
several board members, county
school superintendents and other
Spokesman had declared that a
postponement would mean a loss
age of teachers to other states.
Under the action, school teachers
and other public school unit Of
ficials are ordered to report for
duty on September IA, thus allow

openings actually begin. All units
were. urged to make plans for ope-

postpone opening dates of schools
in their respective counties.

1918 Escape Of Germany
Not To Be Repeated,
President Says

WASHINGTON, Aug. II.
-(P)-President Roosevelt
hack in the capital today from
his Pacific tour, informed the
world that Germany and ia
nan will be occupied by AL
lied troops regardless of
when or how they surrender.
There will be no repetition, he
said of the 1918 situation, when
Germany escaped full occupation
Nv quitting when her homeland
was menaced.
The President began catching up
m routine business at the White
House tonight after returning from
35-day trip that took him to
Pearl Harbor and to Adak, in the
Aleutian islands.
He was met at the station by
Secretary of State Hull and later
he conferred with General George
G Marshall, Army chief of staff.
Tomorrow he will nave his first
fourth term campaign strategy talk
with his vice presidential run
ming mate, Sen. Harry S. Truman
of Missouri, whom he has not seen
since they were nominated by the
Democratic national convention a
month ago.
Mr.. Roosevelt's special train
passed through 81 states during the
two crossings of the continent, but
he laughed at suggestions that
some people thought his journey
was political.
There we're no political things in
it. he said, adding that those who
think they found politics in the
trip know more about it than he
does.
On the westward crossing shades
we're drawn and every precaution
taken to prevent the public from
knowing who was aboard. But on
the return from Bremerton, Wash,
where the President made a
broadcast speech last Saturday
night, he waved and nodded oc-
casionally at crowds which gather
ed at railroad stations along the
way.
Immediately upon his return
speculation arose tina the might be
thinking of another conference soon
with Prime Minister Churchill. The
two leaders have not seen each
other since last December, and it
has been their practice to meet
about every six months.
The rapid pace of the war in
France lent further weight to the
suggestion, voiced in diplomatic
and military circles, that another
war and postwar council might be
in order.
There had been reports, later
proved erroneous, that Mr.. Churc-
NIL might show up at the Honolulu
conferences which Mr.. Roosevelt
held with Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur and Adm. Chester Nimitz.
As it developed, that conference
was an all-American affairs.
1t was at news conference
aboard train, during the last lap
o. the l5,OO0-mile journey, that Mr..
Roosevelt made his first definite
assertion that Germany and Japan
cannot hope to avoid Allied occupa-
uon, even by the unconditional sur
lender that is demanded Of them.
Berlin, he recalled, lodged &C.
cupalon after the last war by nego-
aallng an armistice. If we let them

generation will be told that ger
