All officials express frank pleasure over Germany's response to the president's note. They declared, "I augurs well," since Germany obviously went Immediately to work on her answer. The official held that the allied nations rely on the subject of futurs guarantees as the big trump card at this moment and Germany's refusal to discuss such guarantees now is the death blow to any American hopes for a quick peace.

SUPT. WIRT DEFATS TUNY OPPOSITION NEW YORK. Dec. 26. Mayor Mitchels veto of the board of aldermen's reduction in the annual budget aimed to reduce by one-half the annual saiary of $10,000 a year paid to Supt. William Wirt of the Gary schools as advisor of the New York board of education failed when Tammany forces were unable to muster enough votes to down the veto. Tammany hall, which has bene opposed to Wirt and his Gary school methoda, though that $10,000 a year for one week's work in each month was "too much" for the "Hoosier schoolmaster" who comes here to tell us how to run our schools. Hence the unsuccessful budget reduction. Colombia University Backs Wirt. The mayor's declaration that it was "political capital" that actuated the aldermen in cutting out the wage increases was what caused Dowling, for the first time in eighteen years, he said, to ssk his colleagues to set aside the veto. The intention of the board to cut in half the J 10,000 salary of William Wirt, educational consultant to the board of education and sn expert on the Gary schools system, and which brought protests from fifty-two members of the faculties of Columbia and City College and numerous educational bodies, was taken up by Dowling. He supported the effort to make the cut on the ground that Mr. Wirt worked only ten weeks a year, and said that New Yorkers were not at all in favor of "importing" Mr. Wirt is from the west their educational directors when "there are plenty of people right in our city to do such work well." While on the subject of Central park gardeners. President Dowling switched to the street cleaners, one of whom told him last week when Dowling awarded efficiency medals that many white wings worked only three days a week, getting $7.50. Mr. Dowling then assailed the mayor's "efficiency first" motto whieh, according to him. "has resulted in a riotous use of the word efficiency." "An efficiency medal and $7.50 is a fine thing to take home to the family," said the president. Returning to the political side of the mayor's message of veto, the speaker said that not one of the department heads slated for increases had increased in efficiency. "You assemble to cut one-twentieth of 1 per cent of the entire budget, which was petty political spite as the mayor charged," said Henry C. Curran in support of the veto. "Your action got the proper rebuke and you can't explain that report in any other way but cheap politics." CROWN POINT CELEBRATES (Special to The Times.) CROWN POINT. IND.. Dec. 26.

withstanding the cold. blustering weather on Christmas eve, and those who worked for the success of the 'nnovatlon. believe it was a worth while effort. The decorators were considerably handicapped in trimming the tree by the nearly forty mile an hour gale that blew Sunday afternoon, but managed to get a spectacle that loomed up well for the evening exercises, which consisted of the singing of Christmas songs and appropriate music by the band. The donations to local charity and the relief of the European Red Cross work were not as large as they might have been, but enough was raised to make a good showing and as the tre will stand all week and be lighted each evening until New Yeara, it is expected that other donationa will b made. The idea, first broached by Rev. Stockbarger and put through with his efforts and the assistance of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Boy Scouts, is a good one, making a pleaaing holiday spectacle, and giving many a poor child the chance to see a Christmas tree that could not be done otherwise. A good sised crowd of the more public spirited citizens of Crown Point turned out and braved the elements to partic'pate in the exercises, but the occasiot should have been one for the more universal display of community sptii1: than was evidenced.
