London, June 23. Public agitation
for the adoption of air reprisals
against German cities as a reply to
recent Zeppelin and airplane raids on
Great Britain has been the subject ot
seeral private conferences between
military and political leaders here.
The hope was expressed at these
meetings that public clamor would
not override the saner strategic con.
siderations and that any elaborate
system of reprisals would be post
poned until tne assistance 01 Ameri
can airmen is available.
"The German air raids," said an
official to The Associated Press today,
"were comparatively easy to perforin
because they were largely over terri
tory in German possession or across the United States.

Chicago, June 23. In a riotous ses
sion today, which followed a week of
public clamor over the ousting of of
ficials of the school board, the city
council by a vote of 49 to 22 on re
consideration refused to confirm
Mayor Thompson's school board ap
pointees. The action was taken without the
presence of ihe mayor, who had de
clared the session adjourned some
time before the confirmation was
called up.' lie loft the chamber and
the alderman reconvened the meet
ing. -
A resolution bv Alderman lohn C.
Kennedy, socialist, moving the im
peachment of Mayor Thompson was
sent to the judiciary committee.
Nine school board trustees, two of
them holdovers, were appointed re
cently by the mayor and confirmed by
the council. The first act of the new
board was to elect Edwin S. Davis,
president in place of Jacob M. Loeb,
who had come into bad favor with
Thompson. Lewis Larson and Angus
Shannon, for many years secretary
and counsel for the board also were
replaced. The removals and the idea
of making the public schools the sub
ject of a political disturbance caused
much public criticism and the alder
men, who had voted for the confirma
tions met today to reconsider their
actions.
Mayor Thompson's action in ad
journing and attempting to prevent
the council repealing its former act
was characterized by States Attorney
Hoyne as arrogant and tyrannical in
a statement in which' the prosecutor
said "as a matter of first impression I
believe Thompson's action furnishes
grounds for his removal from office by
proceedings at the instance of the at-

A little group of grinning, be
trowsered and healthy-looking women
went to work in the lumber yard of
the Ryan Car company in a suburb
today. Superintendent Cristopher
iaviason explained:
"Labor is becoming more and more
scarce, and we advertised for women
a few days ago. Five hundred replies
were received. In aaveek or so there
will be fifty or sixty at work and
eventually 200- They do men's work
and receive men s pay.
"We think women make as good
laborers as men. We are not figuring
that it will take two women to do the
work of one man; one woman can do
it. J. hey work nine and three-quarters
hours, the pay is 3U cents an hour.
We are going to place women ai

May Not Draft National
.. .Guard. Before August 5
Washinnton. Tune 23. Drafting of
tne National buard into the federal
armies for war service may be de
layed until August 5, because it has
been found that under the present
plans for drafting the guard in three
increments, July 15, July 25 and Aug
ust 5, the relative -j-ank of its
officers would he established on, an
unfair basis. The National Defense
act provides that National Guard of
ficers shall take rank as of the date
of draft.
The additional time gained by post
poning the draft until August 5,
would be valuable to the department
in making ready the divisional camp
sites at which the state forces will
be mobilized and also would permit
inc assemming ot additional equip
ment for the troops.
