¥) i WAR HAS TRAPPED ' | MANY TEACHERS | * OF NEW YORK TY Public Schools Will Miss Hun- dreds of Instructors at Fall Opening. After frultiess attempts in the last Week to estimate the number of School teachers of this city stranded in the European war gone, tho De- } partment of Education to-day began @ canvass of the homos of the 20,000 instructors in the pubiic schools to Getermine just how many are ma- . agg el abroad. Thomas W. Churoh- |, President of the Board of Kduca- tion; Supt. William H, Maxwell and several of the members of the board ave cut their vacations short and are hurrying to this city to take charge of the situation, which is ad- mittedly grave. It is Iikely « special Meeting of the board will be called in Ss few 's and stops will be taken to vide temporary teachers in the pisse of the absentees when the pub- are opened on Sept, 4 At best only 2,800 substitute teach- te can be mustered by the Depart- ment of Education—countin; 0 Dupil-teachers who have p: their examinations, but are increly un pro- bation. It is feared there are more than 4,000 New York teachers in Europe at the prese. : time, many of whom are destitute, and without transportation back. Dr. John H. Haaren, Acting City Superintendent, eald to-day if these figures are cor- rect it will Be imperative to enlist the entire staf of clerks in the de- ent, all of whom are qual ictors, as public school teachers, im the fall. To supply the bi ‘will be necesary to hold a spec! amination, he said, which would mean, of course, the eaploy ment of inexperienced teachers, @iz months’ probationa: mer for tours abroad, only a round Goren have been heard from at the headquarters of the board since the outbreak of hostilities. Most of these are principals of schools maroo: in Paris and London. All hav safe, but none has been able ‘0 give any assurance of being back on time for the school opening. J. H. Pitts, chief clerk ir Mr. Max- ‘Well's office, in a letter mailed in Paris on Aug. 6, hints that many of tho teachers held up in the French capital @re in sore need of funds, In London is District Buperintend- ent Joseph Taylor of the Bronx. Mr. Taylor writes that Dr. John Dwyer, also a District Superintendent trom that borough, is in Egypt and unable to get out. The steamship servive through the Straits of Gibraltar hae been stopped, says Mr. Taylor, and it will be months before Supt. Dwyer can get back to this country. ————_—___ Teelley Kills Three Men.

Burnside, who occasionally seeks relaxation from the heavy work of stage management, known as the absent treatment and left the reat to Milton J usk, whose music was lively though not distinctive. However, there was one number, rightly named ‘The Song of Songs” so far as this musical comedy was concerned, that proved even more weloome than the rain from heaven that caught the 8.30 contingent on its way to the theatre, and Dorothy Gor- con sang it so charmingly as to work the only musical spell of the evening. Mise Gordon wee like a ministering angel on the wings of song. This may sound sentimental—but the song was in the. same strain, and we wero in @ mood for anything at the time. ‘The book was #0 depressing that even suicide suggested itself as a happy release.

But tt slipped a cog or a finger in the course of generally uninteresting events, and the dance went on with- out It. Wallace MoCutcheon, Vera Maxwell and other skittish perform- ers tripped into the proceedings until ‘The Dancing Duchess” became very largely a tango contest. Harry Dav- enport entered the lists with all tho dignity of Sir Charles Wyndham, but funnier still was the large blond chorus gentleman, who, with his re- luctant partner, seemed rooted to the centre of the etage. John Hyams danced assiduously at every opportunity, but as a comedian he fell flat. The funniest dancing feature was that of William Burress, who, as a floor polisher with his feet, ‘was mistaken for a dancing master. Everybody followed in his footsteps, after the fashion introduced in Zieg- feld’s “Follies,” where a tipsy in- dividual sets the pace. Evidently a good idea is not to be despised. Ada Lewis achieved the seemingly impossible by looking as German as Mathilde Cottrelly in the role of a housemaid named Tilly, and her de- scription of a moving picture drama founded on a@ biscuit gave the audi- ence its one good laugh. Asa butler with a lofty ambition to become a juggler, Otis Harlan did not fill the air with merriment.

Besides their solo, ensemble, quartet and cboral singing, they present an elab- orate musical spectacle, called “In Gloucester."

Unofficially both England and France have shown opposition to the pur- by this Government or by can citizens of German ships or tho transfer of German ships to American registry. Another factor that has halted tho negotiations is the wide divergence between the sums demanded by tho German lines for the vessels they are willing to sell and the prices offered by the brokers who are acting for Prospective buyers. It is asserted that the German steamship officials are demanding for old vessels sums equal to their original cost. The would-be American purchasers take the position that the German lines, in view of the fact that they are sus- taining tremendous losses through the enforced inactivity of their ships, should be willing to let some of them 0 at reasonablo prices. | Robert Lansing, Solicitor for the | Department of State, is now trying to obtain official information from England and France as to how those | countries would regard the establish- ment of an American merchant marine by the purchase of German ships, It is possible that there may be considerabls delay in getting the desired information. }_ The Hamburg-American line an- Nounces that under no circumstances would the Vateriand, the largest shin afloat, be sold.
