Senate and House Bills on Army Reserve and Local Education Board
The Senate bill would authorize a federal volunteer army up to 600 per congressional district in peacetime, adding to enlarging and federalizing the National Guard. The first Board of Education ballot yielded a capable, representative four-member panel with diverse qualifications, though no women elected. German submarines in WWI sank two American steamships in daylight. Germany claimed misidentification and obscured guns on merchants, sparking questions about anti armed-merchant policy and neutral rights. The Mayor’s auto-ferry pay goal rises to twenty thousand if funded. British-American wartime reporting notes Moewe treasure estimates. Republicans gain in ten cities. Maine shows growing GOP strength against Democratic influence. Verdun battles reveal high German casualties and poor morale among younger troops. Northcliffe reports French resilience. Ward shifts in city politics show Republican gains in northern wards and Democratic in southern wards, with Center St as a potential political boundary. More light will come at fall elections.
