The greatest problem ot the edu- is not the building up ot the city school and the education of the boys and girls or the more thickly popu lated centers. It is how to give the children of the farms and ot the rural districts the advantages of the im proved racmues, tor it nas oeen pretty difficult to keep the country school at as high a plane of devel opment as the city school. This has raised an unrest and has caused many a family to leave the farm simply that the children might have the ad vantages of the city schools. The bureau of education has undertaken a nation-wide campaign for better rural schools, and the. work being directed by it Is of the utmost Interest to the hundreds of country school directors and patrons. At a meet ing held at Nashville, the presiding officer of the conference spoke upon the subject. "A More Efficient School System." He stated that the purpose of this campaign for better schools 1s to bring equal opportunity of edu cation to every boy and girl in America, In the country as well as in the town. As a means to this . end the commissioner pointed out the ne cessary agencies as follows: 1. A school term of not less than 160 days for each child. 2. A sufficient number of teach ers adequately prepared for their work. 3. Consolidation of rural schools with an average area of about 12 eqnare miles for each school. 4. Teacher's fcome and a demon- . a Dart of the school DroDertT. 5. An all-year session adapted to local conditions. 6. A county library, with branch libraries at the centers of population, with the schools used as distributing centers. 7. Community organization, with the school as the Intellectual, Indus trial, educational and sodal center. . 8. A modern high school educa tion for every boy and girl In Amer ica. In the conntry as well as In the town. It Is part of the game of war that the Deutschland should be hunted to the death by her enemies. She Is legitimate prey, and the allies know that the destruction of the brave little vessel will be a step toward victory in the clash at arms for them. . Re gardless of where sympathies may tend, there would be a feeling of horror if some day the word should come that Capt. Koenlg and his crew were sleeping the long sleep at the bottom of the sea in their iron-clad casket. The vessel has marked the way In sub-sea freighting, and as the first of her kind, she occupies a posi tion in the public mind apart from the belligerency of the nation which sent her. It is suggested that the city coun cil enact an ordinance setting five miles an hour as the speed limit up on the driveways In the Riverside park. If the park Is to be maintained as the playground for children and a place of recreation for all, dangers nhould be redu"ed to lowest point.

There were also re- j.orts from various members of the Tlmmons' crew that the sailing Is at hand. The revenue cutter Apache lay in the Patapsco a short distance below the Deutschland, apparently ready to see that she-had fair play on her re turn Journey. Rumor had It that the Deutsch land's sister ship, the Bremen, is due along the Atlantic seaboard either to day or tomorrow, but there was no definite information as to whether she will dock here or In Boston.

Hughes said in nis telegram to the Utah senator. The telegram which evoked Hughes' declaration for a reoerai amendment for equal suffrage was as follows: "You will no doubt recall our con- venation a rew days ago wnen i urged you to make public your views with regard to the equal suffrage federal amendment. That platform commits the party to the principle of woman suffrage and recognizes the right of each state to determine the question ror ltseir. u is sueni upon the subject of the constitutional amendment and thereby leaves every- desire by adopting the resolution or suomission ana mm coaming iu states to pass upon the question which, without the preliminary action of congress, they would be prevented from doing. There la a feeling of In tense Interest In all these sutTrage states in respect to your attitude and I think it most important that yon, as soon aa possible, state publicly your personal position In respect to the matter. "Signed) George Sutherland." To this telegram Hughes replied: "My Dear Senator: Tonr telegram has been received. In my answer to the notification I did not refer to the proposed federal amendment relating to woman's suffrage, and this was not mentioned In the platform. I have no objection, however, to stating my personal views. As I aald In my speech, I think It to be most desirable that the question of woman's sutTrage should be settled promptly. The ques tion is of such a nature that It should be settled for the entire country. My view Is that the proposed amendment should be submitted snd ratified and he subject removed from political discussion. 'Very Blncerely yours, "(Signed) Charles Evans Hughes."

In t RAILROAD HEADS TO BE ARRESTED New York, Aug, 1. Arrests ot higher-ups In the $20,000,000 explo sion on Black Tom poulnsula were ex pected today as a result of a long iright conference between Prosecutor Hudspeth and Commissioners of Pub lic Safety Hague of Jersey City. Ac cording to these officials,, at least two presidents ot railroads with Jersey City terminals are concerned. These officials before the expected arrests today refused to say whether the men would bo charged with man slaughter, as were the throe men ar raigned and hold in $5,000 ball yes terday, or whothor they would merely be charged with violation of statutes Regulating shipment and storing of 'ammunition and explosives, j Prosecutor Hudspeth's proposed re quests for warrants follows a 24-hour Investigation which showed that ap proximately two million pounds of explosives are handled at the Black jTom peninsula snd in the Jersey Cen tral railroad yards nearby dally. From i Hudspeth's figures and those furnlsh Ud by W. 8. Topping, chief of the J bureau of explosives organised by the railroads, It was also shown $33, i S4 2.4 SS worth of explosives wore shipped from this port during May and that more than $350,000,000 worth of munitions for the allies had 'been shipped from here during the , twelve months ending June 30 last. While Hudspeth's Immediate desire is to prosecute alleged violations, his j ultimate aim Is to force munitions makers and railroads to find some other place than Black Tom, or, In I fact, the -state of New Jersey, as a shipping point. He will be backed up by Representative Hamlll, whois said to be planning congressional action toward ' prevention of another such 'series of explosions aa shook five states Sunday. The known death list this after 'noon remained at four. The Jersey ,CIty coroner announced a fifth death during the night when Policeman .O'Neill took to the morgue what he thought was the head of Mrs, Freda Wilson, wife of a barge captain. It was not until an autopsy that the ob ject was found to be a half burned Image. Mrs. Wilson and her two babies are among nine known miss ing. It became known today that the loss Is almost entirely covered by In anranoe. Lloyds of England Is the 'company largely concerned. The allies, to whom the munitions wore 'going, will be the sole losers as far as destruction of munitions Is con cerned. , HUGHES SPEECH Washington, Aug. 1. President Wilson had Charles E.
