SHANGHAI, Feb. 2 (CP)—Japanese marine headquarters claimed a smashing victory today after four hours of heavy fighting in their renewed offensive for control of the

[ native chapel district.

A Japanese communique at 6:15 F. I M. (3:15 A. M. EST.) said the Chin , es ■ were retreating in disorder.- af-, t/-r firing a final salvo from their I field guns. The Japanese said their j

troops were in hot pursuit.

Die slashing offensive came swift- ! 1, and without warning- The Japanese advanced in relentless waves under a withering barrage of artillery fire. Booming field guns and the charge of the Japanese machine-gun-I n< r overwhelmed the Chinese. The sudden blaze of artillery fire [shattered the mid-day calm which

L w-as pointed out that by increasing tlie teacher’s loan and using strongest teachers a saving of sixteen teachers could lie made in the county schools. This, in some instances, would necessitate the abandoning yf some rural schools which have a low enrollment but in nearly all cases would not require additional trans1 portation costs. . It was the opinion of Superintendent Vermillion that the standard of instruction need not be lowered ami might, with the selection of the hes't teachers, be improved over the pres-

i enl sta tus.

Another suggestion to the trustees was the adopting of a uniform sched ule of high school teacher salariefor Putnam county schools. It was said most teachers in the county arc I not overpaid but many are not in
