The peti tion was placed on file. "This is the third time teachers have made this same request and twice be- fore 'the board carefully considered the matter and refused them," said O. JI.-l Plummer, as he asked that the petition be filed. "I second the motion." declared. Dr. K. A. Sommer. "It is poor taste for the teachers repeatedly to ask for a icon cession previously considered ana re fused. I am convinced the remainder of the bonus should be held over until next fall so that the new teachers will share equally in its distribution." Teachers Need Money, Plea. Directors Orton and Thomas upheld the teachers' petition. "The public is convinced our teachers deserve more money or last Saturday's election would not have carried with such a large vote." said Mr. Orton. "Teachers need the money now. In the fall the money derived from the special election will be waiting them." Efforts were made by Director Thom as to have the matter referred to the educational committee of which Mr. Orton is chairman. An affirmative vote from the chairman. J. Francis Drake, carried the motion to place the petition on" file. School authorities say that it was the first time in the history of the present school board that in time of controversy, Directors Drake, Sommer and Plummer voted together. New Teachers Elected. The election of 100 teachers, includ Ing 11 who have returned from leave of absence, for the ; school term of 1M9-20 was approved upon recommend ation of Superintendent Grout. rrhe establishment of a portable school to solve overcrowded conditions was authorized at each of the follow ing schools : Albina Homestead, Arleta, Clinton Kelly.

Note to Allied Council Protests Bartering in Territory Popu lated by Germans. BERLIN via London. May 14. Fried rich Ebert, the German president, in a statement made in the newspaper Vor- waerts, has reiterated hia opposition to the peace terms submitted by the en tente, declaring them unreconcilable with conscience and, reason and insist ing that they must be drastically and fundamentally corrected. Above all, practical negotiations were necessary, he declared, and these would quickly result in the attainment of a worthy peace, if a return were made to the 14 points. "As long as one remnant of hope re mains that reason will triumph," con tinued President Ebert, "we will not speak our last word, but should it prove that this mailed fist peace is to be imposed upon us, we shall have to make our decisions. Territorial Changes Protested. "Today I still hone'that the attempt will not be made to extort from the German nation an assent which would be nothing but a lie born of desperation, We must keep faith with our country men who are threatened with eepara tion by foreign violence, and be ready to carry out the hardest resolve. A note o'f considerable length pre sented to the peace council by the German plenipotentiaries deals with all the proposed territorial changes. The note does not deny that the principle of self-determination can be asserted for several of the changes, such as concerns Poland and Schleswig, but does not concede that the territories populated by Germans "can be bartered like pawns as security for the finan cial or economic demands of Germany's enemies. Germany l liable to Comply. In this connection, the note pro tests strongly regarding the Saar val ley and declares It is vain to object that the proposed occupation will be temporary because, it la declared, if Germany is not in a position to re purchase the mines with gold at the end of 15 years, the region is destined finally to go to France, even if the population "pronounces unanimously in favor" of Germany." Count Von Brockdorf f-Rantzau. the head of the German peace delegation in communicating to the other me bers of the delegation the text of the three notes he sent to Premier Clemen ceau, pointed out that the peace treaty in. its present form could not be ac cepted and could not be signed because it was impossible to fulfill its -terms, Treaty Improvement Aim. Dispatches from Versailles reporting the count's action add that he told the German delegation that it would sign nothing it was not intended to fulfill. The delegation, he continued, would endeavor to improve the treaty and make its signing possible. LONDON", May 13. Fhilipp Scheide mann. the German premier, has sent through the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Herald, the labor newspaper, an appeal to the British people to real ize the "appalling position Germany is placed in by the peace conditions." Herr Scheidemann, in his appeal says: "We cannot believe that fellow hu man beings, however much under the influence of a wicked war, can really intend to reduce a kindred civilized people to slavery, for that is what these conditions mean. "We 'Germans call upon you English not to force us to sign away our birth right and peace of Europe in our hour I of weakness." PROPAGANDA INCITES PEOPLE OF SIBERIA AGAINST YANKS American Soldiers All Bolshevists , Is Statement in Japanese Advertiser, Says Lieutenant Edward Hall, Home From Vladivostok Front. tmiiiiuimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimmmmiiiiiiii iiimiiiimiiiimiimiiimmmiiiiiiiiiimii Three Times a Week For Three Weeks After the long winter months, too much rich food and too little exercise, practically everyone feels the necessity for a good Spring tonic and Blood Puri fier. The very best spring medicine you can take is the king of tonic laxatives CELERY KING Three times a week for three weeks, brew a cup of thi: purely vegetable laxative tea and drink it just before retiring. Gently, yet effectively, it will drive out all impurities and not only make xou feel better, but look better, right away, giving you a sweet breath, 'clear skin and a healthy appetite. Adv. imiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiimiiiimmiiimiiiimiii! mimiiiimmmmiimiiiiimimimiiiiiiii a MERICANT soldiers are all bolshe Li vists, allied with everything in- imical to the best interests of Russia, according to newspaper propa ganda which is persistently carried to the people of Siberia. Such is the re port brought to Portland by Lieutenant Edward Hall, first .returning soldier of the American expeditionary forces in Siberia. Lieutenant Hall, dental surgeon with the 27th infantry, and for nine months with his command at Khagarovsk, Si beria, 600 miles from Vladivostok, is one of 125 officers permitted to-come home through voluntary replacement. "Newspapers of that region,, and par ticularly the Japanese Advertiser, which I believe is published in Japan, with evidently an English edition for the American soldiers, have been open ly attacking the Yanks for months," assorts Lieutenant Hall., "Some force is at work trying to undermine the United States over there, and we at tributed this newspaper propaganda to German money and German sympa thizers. We were openly called bol shevists, and charged with being in sympathy with them, and as Jews seem to be unpopular in that country, the charge is frequently made that the American soldiers are all Jews." Americans and Japanese Not Cordial. While Lieutenant Hall, for obvious reasons, is loath to speak of the under current of opinion among the members of the American expeditionary forces, he admits that there is no real cor diality between American and Japanese soldiers, and that friendly relationship is largely maintained by the strictest discipline. Clashes between individuals of the two forces are not Infrequent, while attacks on Americans by a news paper bearing such a name as the Jap anese Advertiser naturally tends to cause the Tank to wonder what his Nipponese ally is up to. That the relieved Cossack general. Kalmakoff, is a powerful factor in the anti-American agitation is the belief of Lieutenant Hall. When Kalmakoff s Cossacks mutinied, no pay and poor food being responsible, and many of them went over to the Americans, turn ing over their arms ana norses to the Yanks, they were placed in the old Russian prison camp at Krashnia Retchka, about 15 miles from Khaba rovsk. Kalmakoff demanded that the mutineers he turned over to him, a de mand that was refused. The Cossacks, distrustful of the Japanese, did not yield themselves to that unit, while the body that yielded to the Chinese were given up to Ttalmakoff and quickly found burial spots beneath the ice of the Armo river.

"The Cossacks couldn't understand the Yank method of fighting with fists, when perfectly good pistols were in holsters. .Our men would go down into town for.a little recreation, and at the first sign of trouble the Cossacks woud draw out their big sabers. It was up to the Yank to run for it or take the saber away from the Cossack, and then' beat him up with the good old-fashioned fists. Many a saber, thus taken from the Russians, will be brought home to America as souvenirs, while those returned to their owners were always broken in two.
