HOLLAND ASKED TO
GIVE UP EX-KAISER
Supreme Connc'l Cites List
of Crimes in Support
of Request.
Paris.— The supreme council's note
to the Dutch government asking that
the former German emperor be given
up to the allies under article 227 of
the Versailles treaty lor trial, points
out that if the former emperor had
remained in Germany he would have
been delivered up under the same con­
ditions by the German government.
"Among so many crimes,” the note
recalls the cynical violation of the neu­
trality ef Belgium and Luxembourg,
the barbarous system of hostages,
massed deportations, systematic dev
»station without military reason«, the
submarine war.
It concludes by expressing the con
viction that “ Holland, one of the first
to claim a place in the Leaguu of Na
tions, will not desire to cover by mora.
authority violation of the essential
principles of the solidarity of nations,
and that all arc inte.ested to prevent
a return of a similar cataetrophe.”
VESSEL WITH REDS
ON BOARD ARRIVES
Hango, Finland.— The United States
army transport Buford, having on
board 249 radicals deported from
America, has arrived here.
American marines and Finnish white
guards were drawn up as the radicals
proceeded from the ship to their train.
The “ undesirables" were placed In
boxcars fitted with plank benches,
tables and beds. Each car contained
seven boxes of army rations.
The train was held here until posi­
tive assurance was received from the
soviets that they would permit the
party to cross the Russian border and
that the deportees would not be mo­
lested.
Alexander Berkman and Emma
Goldman, who have been looked upon
as the leaders of the deportees, have
declared they will not remain in
Russia, but will “ return to America
to save it.
TEACHER SHORTAGE ACUTE
Thousands Resign and Normal School
Attendance Falla.
New York.—The teacher shortage
has developed Into a national public
school crisis. Teachers by the tena of
thousands have given up teaching.
Their positions are either remaining
unfilled or are being taken by an in­
creasing number of pnorfy-prepared
persons. Normal and
training
schools cannot meet the demands. The
number of students attending is rapid
ly decreasing.
The reason for the conditions con
fronting the schools is low salaries.
Reports gathered by the National
Educational association from 1791
school superintendents who supervls«
238,573 teaching positions show a prea
ent shortage of 14.689 teachers, or
more than 6 per cent of their teach
lng positions
This shortage would
have been greater had proper stand
ards for teachers been maintained, bu
the superintendents deelare that they
are employing 23.006 teachers below
standard
Thta ts almost 10 per cen’
of their entire teaching staffs. Durinr
he year more than 22 per cent or
52,798 teachers gau up »heir positions.

O BITUARY
AJl>ert Wellington Ward was bora
on the ranch near Nyssa where he
grew to young manhood. H e waa
born Maroth 11, 1901 and died Janu­
ary 1*6, 19120. He graduated from the
grade schools and entered the High
school. He did not ace that the
high school course would be o f prac­
tical benefit to him so he left school
and devoted himself with his broth­
ers to farming and stock raising.
When his brother Frank left for the
war, Albert and Earl run the farm,
and last year the boys all worked
together. Perhaps there wias a thou­
ght in his mind that he as a patriot
should dohis pan in supplying the
world with food. He enjoyed' life,
and While he made money ea»Uy he
sought, to find pleasure and! good to
hdmsely and others lu tb«' use o f it.
He was well liked by his companions
ind u, right and honest in his busi­
ness transactions. A young man of
:romise he is suddenly taken from
us. We cannot understand, we do not
pretend to understand. But we know
that he life is not defeated. In oth­
er realms he walks with God. Into
God’s loving care and great mercy
we commend his spirit. He is sur­
vived by his father and mother, Mr.
John A . Ward and Mrs. Ida Belle

and by one sister Mrs. Cecil Belle
