Diplomatic Appointments
May be Made This Week
announcement of appointments to
several important diplomatic
posts probably will be made late
this- week, it was said today at
the White House.
No intimation was given as to
the posts to.be filled, but inas
much as diplomatic representa
tives have been selected for the
most important European capitals
it was regarded as probable that
the announcement would deal
with appointments of ambassa

Change in System of School
Administration is Car
ried 4 to 1
J. A. Churchill, state superin
tendent of schools, last night re
ceived a telegram from J. E.
Myers, superintendent of schools
tor Crook county, announcing
that in a special election there
yesterday the county unit plan
for school administration carried
by a vote of about 4 to 1. The
county unit law was passed by
the legislature of 1921 and was
made optional with counties.
Crook county is the first, to vote
on the question.
The county junit plan does not
affect the administration of
schools districts of the first or
the second class, but there is no
district of either of those classes
in Crook county, so - the entire
county school system is affected
there.
- The change puts the whole of
Crook county in one rural school
district. witU a common board of
five members elected from the
county, at Large.. The .board elects
the rural school superintendent.
The superintendent nominates all
teachers and their names go be
fore the board for confirmation.
The superintendent assigns- them
tolhe school. The plan gives; the
rural schools the same organiza
tion as the first class districts.
Its main. advantage, doubtless; ja
that it provides for Just one tax
on all the property of the rural
Bchool district, which Is a eon
8olidatio0 of all districts now out
side the first and second . class.
By this means the poor district
of low assessed valuation can have
b good, a school as the wealthy
district where the assessed prop
erty valuation is high.

VIENNA, Sept. 6. Three
thousand Hungarian insurgents
on Monday engaged the Austrians
in an effort to capture the Aus
trian town of Kirchschlag. The
engagement, which lasted eight
hours, ended in the retirement of
the Hungarians who lost numerous
prisoners. The Hungarian casual
ties are not known. The Austrian
losses were two men killed and
20 wounded. '
Discuss Situation.
Both sides used grenades and
machine guns.
Members of the political parties
deliberated with the government
today as to the course to be fol
lowed in the Kirc.hschlag incident.
Afterward the cabinet sent a note
to the allied representatives.
. It was also decided by the cabi
net to call the attention of the
Hungarian government to the dan

and to say nobody could believe
that the ' Hungarian bands were
acting against the will of the Hun

FRENCH JAIL
Men Commit Robbery and
Indulge in Running Fight
With Gendarmes
TROYES, France, Sept. 6 (By
Associated Press.) Three men
wearing khaki uniforms and al
leged by the police to have admit
ted being deserters from the
American forces at Coblenz, were
arrested today by French gend
armes at Laignes. They are
Charged with highway robbery
and burglary.
The men were cArnered after
an; automobile chase of 25 miles.
Police assert that the automobile,
which was abandoned after the
gasoline became exhausted, was
stolen from the American con
tingent. The car first appeared Monday
evening at Petit Saint George.
Here the occupants, with drawn
revolvers, entered the offices of
a business firm, forced the cash
ier to hand over the contents of
the safe and sped away toward
Paris.
Local gendarmes requisitioned
an automobile in which to give
chase, but the bandits car proved
the faster.
The trail was found again this
morning, when the Troyes police
gave chase. They fired at the
bapdits. who replied with revol
vers. The tight continued twenty
minutes, natives along the. way
running for cover from the bul
lets. A few minutes later the
gunmen abandoned their auto
mobile and took refuge in a small
wood where they were sur
rounded and surrendered."
They said they were Carrol!
Day, 27 and Alta Good, 24, and
Abe Abell 29. An alleged civilian
accomplice named Drumont, a
Frenchman, also was arrested.
American headquarters at Co

ricy," he said. "If England is is
suing an ultimatum, let It be an
ultimatum."
Statement Is Surprise
War, not peace, would be the
outcome ot the Imposition of En
gland's proposals by force, accord
ing to Mr. De Valera, who asserted
England had no basis in right for
a single demand she was making
on Ireland and would not dare to
make such demands on "a power
even nearly as strong as herself."
It was announced earlier today
by the Sinn Fein leaders that
there was nothing to communi
cate; then suddenly a statement
was given out. Though bitterness
is to be observed in the pro
nouncement, it is noted that it
does not amount to a rupture of
the negotiations; nevertheless its
issuance is believed here to add
to the gravity of the situation. '
Sina Felners Calm
A communication was received
today from R, C Barton, Sinn
Fein courier, who carried the Dail
Eireann's reply to Premier Lloyd
George in Scotland, iorcasting the
possible result of the cabinet meet
ing, and It is suggested Mr. De
Valera's . statement was made in
consequence of information con
tained in the message. The news
papers' suggestion of the imposi
tion by the premier of a time limit
has been badly received- Arthur
Grififth and others resent any at
tempt Jo orce , the pace. There
is no sign, however, that the Sidn
Felners regard the position as
critical. . ,
Tne British reply is expected to
be delivered tomorrow night to
Mr. Barton at Inverness.

Parliament May Act
The correspondent poinrs out
that the government would refer
the question to parliament before
reintroducing tht policy of re

LONDON, Sept. 6. (By the
Associated Press) Lord Birken

other ministers, are traveling 700
miles tonight to join the premier
and the rest of the cabinet. Vis
count Fitzalan. the Irish viceroy
and General Sir Nevil MacReady,
commander of the troops in Ire
land, in which may prove a most
critical council meeting concern
ing the fate of li eland. Earl Cur
zon, secretary for foreign affairs,
was indisposed and unable to go
Trip is 1'recedent
Never before have, ministers
been called unm to take such a
journey to attend a council under
such unusual circumstances. Be
cause of the presence near Inver
ness in advance of Viscount Fitz
alan. Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief
secretary for Ireland, Wlnstan
Spencer Churchill, secretary for
the colonies, and General Mac
Ready, there have been rumors
of Informal discussions, tending
to the Idea that the time had ar
rived to end the protracted nego
tiations. Nothing is positively
llrnown, however, hut there is good
ground to believe many cabinet
members favor placing a time lim
it on discussions. It Is likely ev
erything will depend upon the de
cision of the premier and the gen
eral' irapresison ?S that he strong
ly opposes any precipitate break
ing of negotiations.
Je Valera A"t Understooa
Whether Eamonn Do Valera's
decision today lo unbosom him
self to the press, was due to the
Idea that he might influence the
premier to prevent premature
breaking off of the negotiations,
was the subject of speculation
here. ,
