IS SPAIN PREPARING

By J. W. T. Mason.
(Written for the I'uited Press.)
New York, Dec. 21. Spain may be
preparing to join the Germans, retake
Gibraltar, and annex Portugal, A Gib
raltar story of Spain's ordering Rem
ington rifles coincided with reports
that Spain Itlis deposited here $i0,000,
0011 with which to purchase munitions.
By waiting until tho ond of the war,
Spain could save 00 per cent on such
purchases. Sho has suffered economic
losses on account of tho wnr tand it is
improbable that Madrid would tolerate
extravagance unless requirements on
this line were urgent.
She is in no danger of attack from
the belligerents, hence her munitions
plans suggest that King Alfonso plans
an offensive. Ho mny have concluded
that either Germany will win the war;
or that everybody will be so exhaust
ed at the end that Spain can seize Por
tugal and Gibraltar.
England has a secret offensive and
defensive trenty with Portugal, while
the Spaniards are largely pro-German
sympathizers. Spain remember Ger

Eight Years' Revolution Ends,

El Paso. Texas, Dec. 21. General
Francisco Villa's campaign to make
himself Mexican lender has crumbled.
Beaten at every turn in the last few
months, he has abandoned the Inst rem
nants of power, mid, according to re
ports today, is hiding in thiB city.
His brother-. Colonel Hipolito Villa,
gave himself up last night, to justice
department officials They told him he
will be safe and unmolested within the
United States, provided ho adheres to
strict neutrality and mnkes no effort to
foster a new revolirfion against the Car
rtinzista regime.
Villista and Cnrrnnzista heads have
signed peace articles. Theso give con
trol to the Cnrrauzistn in the territory
where "Paneho" Villa once held sway.
The state of Chihtiahua and tho cities
of Juarez and Chihuahua fall into Car
ranza control. Villa's men are prom
ised immunity, but ncocrding to reports,
General Villa and Colonel Villa nre not
allowed amnesty.
This, however, may be only a surface
peace, according It-officials here. They
fear that wild disorders among Villa's
henchmen may follow reports that he
has definitely quit t'ie"fevolutioii. The
Villa treasury id "iieau." When the
soldiers find they cannot be paid, the
trouble, it is feared, may start at once.
With tho signing of pence articles,
nearly eight years of revolution came
to an end. In that time, Villa saw him
self rise almost to controlling power
within Mexico, only td.be overwhelmed
by General Carranza, with whom he
broke after they had been allies for
some time. Recognition of Carranza put
the quietus on his ambitions find led to
the present absolute destruction of his
power.

New York, Dec. 21. Tho peril, hard

British blockado fleet outside the 3-

'ran the notorious German raider Em

and shot her to bits. The Sydney re

Atlantic blockade fleet. Tho letter says
in pnrt:
"Dear Jerry: It looks as though we

MARRIAGE I BAR
TO TEACHING AY
SUPREME COURT
Justice Harris. Decides In
Favor of Matrimony and
Comely Teachers
PORTLAND SCHOOL MUST
PAY TEACHER'S SALARY
Schools Need Not Suffer If
Teacher Has a Home of
Her Own Is Ruling
After considering a few points of
law and the fact that Leap Year is
about due Supreme Judge L. T. Harris
decided this morning that a school
teacher may marry and still toach
school. Married or single sho Bhould
bo dismissed, said the judge, if sho is
incompetent, but if she is competent
and qualified beforo her marriage there
is no reason to believe thnt she would
be any less competent after her mar
riage, The ban is sometimes placed
upon marriages for teachers on the
grounds that sho "may" devoto more
time to her home than to her school but
Judgo Harris reasons that Bhould she
join the church she "may" dovote
more time to tho church work than to
the school and that possible incompe
tency should not bo anticipated and
dismissal based upon anticipation,
Tho coso in particular was that of
Maud L. Eichards against tho mombors
of tho Portland school board and L. R.
Alderman, superintendent of the Port
land city schools. Maud L. Marab was
employed first In tho Portland schools
September 23, lftll, and taught until
January 5, 1915. On January 4 she
assumed a husband nnd' the board dis
missed her when die en mo to school on
the morning of .Iniiunry 5. The case
was carried into the circuit court tnd
Judgo Robert (I. Morrow allowed a per
emptory writ of niaiilnmus against tho
school board commanding that, she be
reinstated as teacher and that her sal
ary be paid from the lime she was dis
missed. The school board nppeald but
tho supreme court dciido'l that the cir
cuit court was right in holding against
tho school board in favor: of lli'i wo
man. Miss Marsh was first employed in
1!)11 and in 101.1 the legislature passed
a law for districts of more than 20,000
in which it was declared that any teach
er that hnd been employed for two
years or more should bo placed upon
the list of "permanently employed."
Permanently employed teacher under
the law could be dismissed by the bonrd
or suspended for incompetency or other
personal charges brought against the
teacher but a formal complaint was ro
ouired to be filed nnd the tencher so
dismissed given threo days' nhtico to
appear ot a hearing In the matter be
fore tho action of the board become
final.
According to the evidence In tho
Richards case the plaintiff nppeared nt
the school room on the morning of
January 5 after she had informed tho
principal of the school the evening bo
fore thnt she intended to get married
that night. When she arrived next day
she was informed by the principal that
he had secured a substitute in her plnco
and that she was dismissed. At. the
next regular meeting of the bonrd
formal action was taken dismissing
Maud I,. Ilichnrds, formerly Maud I
Marsh from the position as teacher In
he Portland school.
Judge Harris ruled that since she was
on the permanently employed list that
a written notice of dismissal was neccB-
sarv and also a hearing In the mntter,
No notice was given and no hearing
was ever held niul the judge ruled that
the action of the hoard was irregular
in this respect. In reviewing the case
he stated that married teachers wero
emiibived In tlie district u ml that they
had proved competent, evidently, or
they would not bo reemployed from
year to year. The fact that a teacher
who was competent entered the state
of matrimony was nothing ngiiinst her
as a teacher ami that school men had
said that teachers often became better
instructors after marriage than they
wme before. That marriugu nloiin was
not sufficient grounds lor dismissal
ami since there were no other charges
made against her the lower court was
not in error.
