diplomatists. In the absence of word
from the President no definite indica
tion of what might be done eventually
was obtainable.
Before taking any definite steps,
however, officials familiar with diplo
matic precedent and international
usage declared that the American Gov
ernment ' probably would send a note
to Germany formally rejecting the
proposal to premit the unrestricted uxe
of American passenger ships or four
hostile merchantmen under the Ameri
can, flag, provided they carried no mu
nitions of war. In the same note for
mal notification probably would be
given to the German government of
the intention of the United States to
continue to exercise its rights, with
the announced expectation that they
would be respected.
Deeisloa Not to Be Harried.
There is little disposition in official
quarters to hurry a decision on the mo
mentous questions involved. Since the
negotiations began two months ago, it
"was pointed out, the United States vir
tually has been using the high aeas in
accordance with its views on interna
tional law and no bellierent ships car
rying Americans have been torpedoed
without warning.
Since German submarine commanders
have made their practice square with
international law to that extent, offi
cials do not believe the refusal of the
German government itself to give ex
plicit assurances will be followed by
any overt acts Involving further loss
of American lives.
The controlling factor in the situa
tion, according to indications In off!
clal quarters, is the attitude the United
btates should take as a result of the
Lusitania tragedy Itself. It is that
which is giving officials most concern
the shaping of a course that will
maintain the dignity of the United
(states and ive promise of obtaining
some satisfactory settlement of the dis
pute. Crave Possibilities Foreseen.
There was no denial in any quarter
that the situation was fraught with
grave possibilities. This was Indicated,
however, in the undertone of comment
rather than in any direct way.
In the law of the case, the American
position was held by officials to be ab
solutely impregnable because it was
founded on the well recognized prin
ciples by which nations have long been
guided. A deadlock has been reached,
it was declared, on the legal Interpre
tations respectively held by Germany
and the United States on submarine
warfare as affecting the rights of neu
trals. The question seemed to most offi
cials rrow rather one of national polloy
involving the settlement of whether
the continued insistence on American
rights would develop a situation men
acing the peace of the United States
or whether a passive acquiescence in
, the German point of view would em
barrass the American government in
: Its relations with other nations.
Other Neutrals Interested.
Many neutral nations have indicated
' informally to the United States that
they looked to this country to uphold
neutral rights under International law
and their envoys here were alert to
night for Information concerning the
: probable course of the United States so
that their foreign offices might bo
promptly advised.

the last few days that practically none

them, however, did not hesitate to com-

" proposals made by Germany with the
J views expressed by ex-Secretary Bryan.

Newspaper Attltode Pleases.
- Editorial comment of American
newspapers was read with deep in

, faction when it was learned that ap--.

; that the German suggestions could
not be accepted.

SCHOOL A LITTLE WORLD
Gary Expert Remakes Xew Tork'a
Institution.
Henrietta Rodman In New York Tribune.
"Build up a splendid system of ele
mentary schools that Is the first bus!
ness of the Nation," says William Wirt.
whom the city has brought from Gary,
Ind.. to remake our public schools.
Mr. Wirt has already remada Publio
School 89. in Brooklyn, and now he Is
beginning his work on Public School
45. in the Bronx. The skeleton of his
plan is as follows:
1. The use of the entire school
plant by having two schools In tha
same building at tha same time. Whlls
the children of the first school are
using the regular classrooms the chll
dren of the second school are in the
auditorium, the shops and the play
ground. This plan was originated by
Superintendent - Hunger and It hai
been made the basis of Mr. Wirt's sys
tern.
2. The school Is a community In
which tba children live for about eight
hours a day. working, playing and
studying. They laarn to read and write
and reckon as other school children do.
but thev do manv things besldaa.
They wash and iron their clothes In
the laundry; they mend them in tha
sewing-room and mend their shoes in
the shoemaker's shop.
In the laboratory they test the candy
they eat and the rood served In the
lunch. They publish their findings in
the school bulletin, which they print
themselves. They make and repair tha
school furniture in the carpenter's shop
and paint It In the painter's next door,
All these shops aro self-supporting.
In each there is a skilled plumber,
shoemaker, dressmaker, painter or car
penter a regular worker at his trad
and he plies his trade In the school
As he works tha older children work
with him. The younger ones look on
and help from time to time. The chil
dren choose the trade they will work
at or take only academic subjects if
they prefer.
The school stora furnishes tha mate
rials used In the school and there the
young people learn to buy and sell, to
keep books and take stock.
But It is not all work for Jack 1
Mr. Wirt's schools. Kach school ha
10 acres of land about It. with oppor
tunity for every sport a boy or girl
can imagine. There are even skating
in Winter and swimming In Bummer.
It Is perfectly obvious that the chll
dren live every day In these achooi
and by living learn to live. If there'
anything in New York that's worth
watching it is Mr. Wirt remaking our
schools.
CHICAGO, July 10. Tha strike of
lt.040 union carpenters, which for two
months practically has paralysed tha
building industry In Chicago, is over.
Settlement on all points at Issue was
reached early today after committees
representing the carpenters, building
construetIonemployers' association and
building material interests had been
locked in conference since - o dock
yesterday. The carpenters were or
dered to return to work at once.
The agreement reached provides that
the men shall receive 70 cents an hour
and that they accept what is called M.
uriform agreement, which will pre
vent strikes and lockouts. The agree
ment is for three years, dating from
May 21. It provides for a closed shop
and also stipulates that there shall be
no restriction regarding the source of
building material whether it is manu
factured here or elsewhere.
The settlement was regarded by both
sides as a compromise. The carpenters
had demanded a sliding wage scale of
70 cents for the first year. 72t4 for the
second and 75 for tha third. Tha men
previous to the strike, had received CO
cents an hour.
FRANCE WANTS LEATHER
Offer Made to Lift Embargo on Raw
Hides by Way Of Exchange.
WASHINGTON. July 10. France has
offered to life her embargo on raw
hides in return for a supply of Amer
ican leather goods for jnilitary pur
poses, according to advices received
today. The plan, if worked out. will
release for manufacture in this country
a vast quantity of raw hides which
accumulated In Francs as a result of
the embargo and because of the exten
sive slaughter of French cattle for
food.
Paris dispatches also contain requests
for American wheat flour for the use
of civilian bakers.
The leather and hides proposal calls
for samples and quotations on Amer
ican leather goods and conveys the as

secretary to his father. Dr. Henry Van

address since his return from Holland.
Rev. Sir. Van Dyke said that tha Dutch
government was In accord with Presi
dent Wilson's policy as outlined In the
American notes to Germany.
Holland Is still apprehensive." he
said. "Her army, mobilized at full war
strength is. I believe, a factor to be
reckoned with. I do cot think that
350.000 is too high an estimate of the
number of men the kingdom can
mobilize.
"The Dutch adopted neutrality of
their own accord, and are ready to de
fend it. I think they would fight no
matter who violated their neutrality."
