The vaca- tion school will be a continuance of the work which was inaugurated in this city last summer with such ex- cellent results. The doors for the first session will be opened at 9 o'clock for registration and'it is ex- pected that there will be.a larger en- rollment than there was last year. Last summer 288 boys and girls !/ were enrolled in the classes, repre- senting thirteen different nationalities with an average daily attendance for the six .weeks that the school was in session of 140. The children were taught: the art of making hammocks, bags, raffia baskets, sewing, etc., hy thirty-five volunteer workers. The school is affiliated with the Na- tional Daily Vacatton Bible School as- sociation, of which Robert Speer of New York is the president and Rob. ert G. Boville'is the national direc- tor. Among the vice-presidents are John Wannamaker and Giffora Pin- chot. The rol]owing table clearly demon- strates the popularity and 8rowth of the organization:. Year 1907—Schools 19, Children 5,- 083, Teachers 70, Cities 4; year 1914, Schools 295, Children 64, 535, Teach- ers 1,940, Cities 66. . Of all the years the movement has been 'growing last year showed the greatest increase by far. Last year there were eighty new schools, 14,000 children, 937 teachers and - thirty-two cities added, almost double in every respect. Thee demand for the vacation schools has become heavy in many ‘of the larger cities. About 1,600,000 children in' largest citles formerly spent sixty-two vacation days on the streets, unhelped by any philanthropi- cally inclined persons and were ex- There were many idle students idle churches. The founding of the vacation schools helped matters a great deal. Besides enjoying the work of the schools the children learned things that would be useful to them in future life and were taught how to become good and useful citizens. The Young People’s society of the First church will again have charge of "'The :funds to defray the expenses, of the school’ were raised by. a recent entertainment given by the society. It is the plan to make the work more complete this year. New departments will apen, includ. A like bank was conducted at the church for the.Boys’ club! during the win- and .} ter months, and:proved to be a huge success. Children will bring their penhiés to the bank twice a week in- | stead 'of once, as was done at the Boys' .club. In this manner the younger generation will be taught thrift. Another feature that will probably be conducted this year will be the teaching of drawing to the pupils. " An' exceptionally efficient teaching staff 'has already been enlisted for the year's -work. Prospects of securing mare instructors are bright. The foi- lowing subjects will be taught by the « | respective teachers: Sewing—Henrietta Flagg, Francis Parker, Edna Mills and Beatrice Por- ter...

BAR SHEEHY AND MALTBY. University of Michigan Students Fx- iled From College Athletics, ‘Ann. Arbor, Mich. June 17.—The board of control of athletics at the University of Michigan last night barred Sheehy and Maltby,. members of the baseball team, from .further participation in athletics at the uni- versity, took from them the insignia they already had won, and recom- mended that they be further disci- plined by "le faculty of the engineer- ing department, in which they are students. The two men were found gullty of having played baseball for money and - under assumed names with independent teams. It was established that McNamara, another member of the varsity bace- ball squad, had played outside ball under an assumed name but had not received ‘money for his services. He was barred from participation in uni- versity sport for one year and his in- signia was gorfened. ATTACK ANTI-GERMAN TEACHER. Pittsburg Students Beat Up Professor . Who Assails Kaiser. Pittsburg, June 17.—Attacks on the German Government by Prof C. W. McNary, teacher of history in the North 'Side High school, resulted in his being roughly handled yesterday by a crowd of students. The professor is alleged to have been in a particularly belligerent mood, hurling invective and bitter language against the Germans during a history lesson. When he left - the school a number of students made a rush for him. McNary was being roughly handled when other students took a hand and carried him to a place of safety.

VENTA GROSSED BY RUSSIAN FORCES Germans Occupy Additional Vil lages in Shanli and Mariampol Petrograd, via London, June 17, 6:05 a. m.—Occupation by the Ger- mans of additional villages in the Shavli district and further south in the region east of Mariampol is ad- mitted by the Russians in a 'state- ment issued last night at the war of- fice. It is claimed, however, that the invaders suffered severely in futile attacks beyond the Niemen and that ground lost north of Przasnysz has been regained. The great battle ‘along the San in west Galicia is reported to be con- tinuing fiercely, with fresh Austro- German forces constantly entering the combat. The statement follows: Russians Cross Verta. ‘“‘German attacks for the past three days areund the Village of Litzkoff, near the Windau river, have been un- successful, and the fighting Tuesday ended in our favor. In the region| of Popeliary our troops crossed the Venta. In pursuing the enemy our cavalry sabered hundreds of Germaus and made some dozens of prisoners. “The fighting near Shavli contin- ues with various fortures. Some vil- lages fell into the enemy’e hands. There have been artillery duels on the Dubysa. “‘On the western front, beyond, Mid-Niemen, the énemy has sus- tained heavy losses in the past two days in fruitless offensive attempta. Ossowetz Bombarded. “In counter attacks in the region east of Mariampol some villages were occupied by the enemy, and Tues- day night the enemy began a bom bardment of Ossowetz, but about o'clock in the morning the fortress got the upper hand. “‘Along the Narew-Omulew Valley front there have been unimportant encounters. “In the Orzyc Valley, Tuesday night the enemy opened an intense artillery fire against Jednorojetz vil- lage, throwing tens of thousands ol shells within a short space. The en- emy several times tried to attack our positions, but his efforts ended with the occupation of only a part of the completely destroyed trenches of ono regiment. Occupy Advanced Villages. “North of Przasnysz, by energetic counter attacks, we occupied all the advanced trenches which the enemy had held since his attack on June 12. “In West Galicia, the battle on tha San continues with increasing flerce- ness, the enemy continually sending fresh forces into the fight. #“On the Dniester the fighting along the Tismenitza and the Stry contin- ued Monday and Tuesday to our ad- vantage. South of Jidatcheff near Bereznitza and Kroulevska, Wwe cap- tured another five hundred German prisoners, including 14 officers and also four guns.” the MURDER AND SUICIDE. New York Woman Shot by Burglar Who Then Kills Selk. New York, June 17.—Carman Cor- nelius, a well to do merchant sum- moned neighbors to his apartment in East New York early today with the announcement that a burglar had shot and killed his wife. Those who returned Wwith Cornelius to his suite found his beautiful young wife, Bar- bara, dead in bed with three bullet holes in her head. Nearby on the floor was .the body of a-young man who had been shot through the tem- ple. The intruder, whom neither the police nor Cornelius could identity. still clutched a pistol. Cornelius de- clared that the man entered his bed room to commit robbery and fired a shot at him which killed Mrs. Cor- nelius. He believed, he sald, that the supposed burglar committed sul« cide while the murdered woman's husband was seeking help. The po- lice after two hours’ questioning could not get CorenHus to change his story. Mrs. Cornelius_was 256 years ‘old. | .She had been married but a short time. e .dead man looked to be about 36.years of age. He was well dressed, A seal ring on his finger bore the initials G. M.

The meeting was called by the’ national provisional commiit- tee, which includes in its member- ship well known publicists; educatars, | peace advocates, editars and econ- omists, and was presided over by for- mer President William Howard Taft. The plan was largely the idea of the former president and is understood to have the personal, though unoffi- cial endorsement of President Wilson. Four articles which had been agreed upon by the provisional committee &s | a basis for the conference were pre. sented to the meeting today and it was hoped by members of the con- mittee that they would be adopted ahd sent to President Wilson for his con- sideration and to the heads of other nations. Four Articles Proposed. The articles are as follows: “1.—All justiciable questions aris- ing between the signatory powers, not settled, by negotiations, shall be sub- mitted to a judicial tribunal for heur- ing and judgment both upon the merits and upon any issue ‘as to. iw Jjurisdiction of the question. “2.—All _ non.justiciable | quest!uns arising between the signatories. and not settled by negotiation shall be submitted to a council of concilation for hearing, consideration and recom- mendation. signatory powers shall jointly use their military forces to prevent any one of their number from going to war, or committing acts of hostility against another of the sig- natories before any question arising shali be submitted as provided in the foregoing. ‘4—Conferences between the signa- tory powers shall be held from time to time to formulate and codify rules of international law, which, uuless somé signatory shall signify its: dis. sent within a stated period, shall thereafter govern in the decisions of tne judicial tribunal mentioned in ar- ticle one.” Formal Addresses Madec. The morning session of the con- ference was limited to formal ad- dresses, among the speakers being John Bates Clark of Columbia uni- versity; Theodore Marburg of Daiti- more, former United States minister to Belgium, and Edward A. Filene, representing the Chamber of Cem- merce of the United States. Promi- nent men from many sections of the country spoke at the afternoon meet- ing which was opcn for general dis- cussion. The American government may, by its action within the next few days or weeks, determine the kind of set- tlement that Europe will have after! | the war, Edward A. Fileme, repre. senting the Chamber of Commerce nf the United States, declared. This set- tlement, he said, fundamentally woula be of great importance to the peace and prosperity of the United States. “If America,” Mr. Filene declgred. ‘stands now for the rights of her citizens on the high seas she will help to give the world a sound peace. For her rights can only be finally vindicated, first, by a drastic reform of sea law, which means co-opgrdt- ing with other nations in ereating a negislative body to frame agreements on such law, and second, by just in- terpretation of this sea law, which means an international court.” America Has Power. Mr. Filene said that while he did nat think the world could do with- out armies and navies be beHeved America has it within her power to organizes forces which ave greater than either. ‘‘Those forces,”” he -gaid, “‘can be summarized in the term econ- | omy pressure, by which I mean the | commercial and financial boycott of | any nation which goes to war with- out submitting its dispute to judg- ment or inquiry. Growing Purpose Justice. Theodore Marburg, of Baltimore, former United States minister to Bel- glum, declared the growing purpose of the world is justice and this shonld be the real object of a 1leagué of peace. “The, present plan,” he said, ‘stops - at having the léague act as an international grand jury to hale the national law-break into coua us- Idues not contemplate enfbreing llnx the united forces of the léague: if necessary, to bring it-there, nnd hmknng that there shall be an in- : | vestigation before any member of the | league is allowed to ga to war. It | the | verdiet.” The demand for a league of peace is universal, said John Bates Clark | of Columbia university, but that the | opinion prevails that only & weak | league is possible and that prospect of securing even that is doubtful. Color of Utoplanism, “The entire movement has, in many minds, the color of utopianism,” Mr. Clark said. BOSTON SUSPENDS BUSINESS. 5 Boston, June 17.—The 140th anni- versary of the Battle of Bunker Hill was observed in this city and the sub- urbs today by a general suspension of business.
