THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Nov. 3.— (Via London)—Henry Van Dyke, the United States minister to the Netherlands, questoned regarding the rumor published here that the German government had requested the call of Brand ‘Whitlock, the American minister to Belglum, said: “It is absolutely untrue that Minister Whitlock has been recalled from Brus- gels. 1f he should go lome it would be on account of his health or to take a vacation to which he ls entitled under the regulations, after a difficult and faith- ful gervice which he had performed with the highest credit. Recent despatches from Berlin reported that in some sections of the German press statements had been published de- manding the recall of Mr. Whitlock be- cause of his report on the execution at Brussels by the German authorities of Bdith Cavell, a British nurse. Washington Interested WASHINGTON, Nov, 3.—Officlals were much interested today in reports that American Minister Whitlock might leave Belglum soon for the United States. They said they had no word from Mr. ‘Whitlock to this effect since his report on the execution of Miss Cavell; no in- structions ha dbeen sent to him. Suffragists Much - Encouraged by the Election Returns ' WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.~At headquars ters of the congressional committee of the National American Woman Suffrage assoclation this statement was issued: = #The campaign in the four big eastern states, though it has not enfranchised women in any one of them, has put the cause of suffrage on & footing never be- fore attained in this country, and impos- sible of attalnment in any other way. In New York alone. it has put on record 1,00,000 women who want to vote and has registered at the polls half a millfon men in favor of suffrage. This enormous suffrage sentiment cannot fail to be con- yerted into votes for our federal amend- ment in congress it the members from these four states pretend to represent thelr constituents. “Moreover, out of the campalgn has grown a magnificently organized body of women who will not cease working for the franchise until they have won it. It is likely that for the present they will concentrate their energies in backing our work for the Susan B. Authony amend- ment." Rumor of Peace .

OTHER AMENDMENTS REJECTED COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 3.—Though Ohlo voters yesterday rejected state- wide prohibition for the second time in two years, great inroads were wade by the temperance forces on wet territory. Fairly accurate re- tarns from seventy-seven of the eighty-eight counties of the state gave a majority of 41,000 against prohibition amendments. Estimates cn the officlal majority against the proposal run from 30,000 to 40,000. Last year the prohibitian amendment was defeated by a majority of 84,162, Pre- election claims by anti-saloon league leaders of big gains for their cause in the larger cities were partly realized. In Cin- cinnati, the stronghold of the liberal in- terests, last year's advers majority of 7,69 was cut down to approximately 60,000, while in Cleveland the wet ma-~ Jority of 44,710 was reduced to about 26,000, Gains were’ also reglistered by the drys in many other counties. The voters not only rejected prohi- bition, but also defeated by substantial majorities three other constitutional pro- posals and two laws enacted by the leg- islature. One of the rejected proposals would have prevented for six years & vote on & state wide prohibition pro The other amendments were to exemp! from taxation all public bonds and to extend the terms of county officlals from two to four years.

"cators of Nebraska Here to Hold Their Fiftieth An. nual Session. MET AT TRAINS BY COMMITTEE Spend Their First Day Here Visiting City Schools, Attending M Meetings in Evening. REAL WORK STARTS TODAY The fiftieth annual session of the Nebraska State Teachers’ association got well under way yesterday, but |the real work will not begin until this morning, a twhich time it is ex- pected that there will be something like 4,600 of the Nebraska school will remain until the close of the |final meeting Friday afternoon. Yesterday there were a large num- ber of teachers here from out In the state and most of them spent a greater portion of the day visiting the schools of the city, noting the methods employed and the results attained. As the teachers arrived, they were met at the trains by members of the local committees, who in their employ had high schoo! cadets, who escorted the vis- itors to hotels, or places assigned to them during their stay. Headquarters were at the Hotel Rome and there all visiting teachers registered and recetved thelr credentials. Last night there was a sort of a mass meoting at the Auditorlum, attended by most of the Omaha teachers, as well as those here from out in the state, There was a musical program and an address on “Education for Freedom” by Charles Zueblin of Roston. Today there will be some twenty sec- tional meetings, most of which will he held in the Central High school building. At all of these there will be addresses by prominent educators, followed by general discussion, e Braham Heads Superintendents. Superintendent W. T. Braham of Sldney was yesterday afternoon elected prosident of the Buperintendents’ and Principals’ as- soclation at the meeting at the Rome. This association holds its annual meeting at the same time and place as the Ne- braska State Teachers' association. Misk Anna Tibbets, Peru, was elected vice president; Miss Tillle Andeberry, Poliock of Kapeas, all of the federal - socretary, and Superintendent mrb'-flfllmwwn’&flhm Keibors, membor of reading cirele board. During theafternoon session, the old fight for changing the date of this meet- ing to the Thanksgiving or Christmas week came up again, After a stubborn fight the resolution was tabled, as sim- {lar resolutions have been tabled in other years. Buperintendent B. U. Graff of the Omaha schools spoke in favor of the pres- ent dates, pointing out that soms of the #chool boards In the state that are seck- ing the change are not even allowing thelr teachers {he time to attend the as- soclation meetings and should, therefore, not be considered as much concerned as to the time and place of meeting. Superintendent K. J. Bodwell of Be- atrice made a plea for the retention of the present dates, Superintendent East- amended to read definitely for the Thanksglving week, Superintendent Fred Hunter, Lincoln, sald that the Lincoln the present dates, but had acquiesced in tho wishes of the association as a whole. Superintendent John Speedle, Benson, took exception to the remark made by someone that the boards refusing the toachers time to attend the meetings, were made up of backwoodsmen. He took Plattsmouth as an example, showing that that clty pays as high average salari to its teachers as any other, that it is a thoroughly progressive board and by no means made up of backwoodsmen, Prof. G.

TEACHERS PLAY First Act of the Visitors is to Ex- press Their Preference in & Primary, ECHOES OF AN OLD FIGHT With the primary system of nomi- nations instituted in the Ne- braska State Teachers' association expressly to eliminate polities, poli- tics nevertheless persistz, While a few of the 2,000 teachers that en- 10lled at the assoclation headquarters at the Rome hotel during the fore- roon were at a loss for a candidate |to vote for, many other delegations came in solid ranks for the respective candidates they had been duly coached to vote for. It comes to light that for some weeks and even months, certain factions have been working through the mail to create sentiment for their favorite candidate: The old fight between the A. O. Thomas faction and the mo-called Schoolm: club ring 1s showing some tendency to be revived. Thus Prof.G. W.
