Considerable damage is believed to have been caused on both sectors. The announcement from Ottawa that the Amreican Army was oo- to he employed fully against the Germans until it was a complete organization, it is declared in London, was due to an error, which has been corrected.

The Board of Education Is to have an "executive manager." whose salary will probably be fixed at $10,00.0. This, has been talked of by the members of the Board among themselves for some time, and only awaited the election of the superintendent of schools to be brought to the surface. At the last moment yesterday George J.

Ryan of Queens requested that the subjection of the selection of an "executive manager" be put on the calendar for the next meeting. "There isn't any doubt about the creation of the office," said a school man who knows what is going on among the members of the Board of Education. "Further than thut, the Incumbent has already been selected. Who is he? Why, very likely Tristram Metcalfe, the school editor of the Globe. Everybody knows that he was scheduled for the best place in the gift of the new Board, outside the positions of city superintendent and superintendent of buildings.

The Board couldn't make him secretary, because A. Emerson Palmer is maintained in his position by the provisions of the new education law. The Board can't abolish the secretaryship, because the duties must be performed by someone. So the office of 'executive manager' is to be created." Mr. Ryan is enthusiastic over the creation of the office of "executive manager." He declares that a man in that position can save the city thousands of dollars, and that the business of the department will be better con ducted.

The various bureaus need correlation and unifying, he said. The superintendent of schools Is the "chief executive officer of such board and of the educational system," according to the new education law. Whether this will be a hindrance to the creation of the new position is to SUFFRAGE ASS'N ENDS 49 YEARS OF SERVICE Disbandment of Brooklyn Organization Announced.

IDEA OF PRESIDENT Ministers Start Movement for Day of Prayer in All Churches. UNION SERVICES LIKELY Brooklyn ministers of virtually all denominations are planning services lor Memorial Day, May 30, that win make the day conform in the fullest possible way with the President's proclamation, setting it aside as a any of prayer. Steps have already been taken by many of them to hold special memorial services in their churches on May 30. In other cases the ministers have fallen into line with a suggestion advanced through The Eagle that there should be union services in the various sections of the borough that would have the siernificance of com munity observance. Many of the leading Clergymen or me oorougn are now at work on plans for accomplishing this as a borough-wide move-Statements today from a number 01 them indicate that there will be meet- nominations either this week or next weeK 10 map out a comprenensive program.

As far as possible the ministers are planning services for the morning of Memorial Day that shall break down denominational lines and that (hall be representative more of a united people than of anything else. This was especially reflected in the attitude that has been taken by Dr. Alexander Lvons. rabbi of the Kie-hth Avenue Temple. Dr.

Lyons said that ne nopca people or an raitns wouia unite in observing the President'! proclamation, and he offered the Eighth Avenue Temple for a union service of various congregations on the Park Slope. Various Movement Under Foot. Some of the things that are in progress to bring about community observance of the day in the churches include Dlans for a meeting of the Pres bytery of Brooklyn; a letter by Bishop Burgess of the Diocese of Long Island to the rectors of all churches in the idiocese requesting them to hold services; presentation of plans for the day jif Brooklyn next week; a movement iy the Rev. Dr. A.

Eugene Bartlett, fcastorof All Souls Universalis! Church. lo unite the churches of Flatbush in community observance, and the prospect that, at a conference of the brleots of the Diocese of Brooklyn nulate Diana for snecial services in the Roman Catholic churches. Bishop McDonnell has not yest determined the manner in wnicn tne Roman catholic? of Brooklyn and Long Island will observe the President's proclamation. Bishop Frederick Burgess, in stating that he would write to all rectors in the Diocese of Long Island, requesting special services, stated also that he would appoint special psalms and Jirayers. Bishop Burgess said that he was mush interested in the day of prayer asked by the President and that he would call attention to It further in his annual address at the jJiocesan convention, to be held in Garden City, May 21 and 22.

The Rev. Dr. Charles Carroll Al-bertfion. pastor of the Lafayette Ave nue Presbyterian Church, said that it was proper and right for the churches of Brooklyn to make Memorial Day more worshipful than it has been for many years. Dr.

Albertson will ask the Rev. William hi. Hendrickson, Moderator of the Prcsbvterv of Brooklyn, to arrange for a meeting Of inc. r-resDyienan ministers or Brooklyn and others interested at the University Club to make plans for Union Bnvices. There will be two services in the Lafayette Avenue Church on me morning or memorial way.

Rabbi Lyons Urges Union Services. "The appeal of the President for a Day should appeal successfully to every true American citizen no matter what nis religious denomination or lack of denomination," said Rabbi Lyons." It is a time when thO spiritual side of our life must be improved, and if we do not feel spiritually the occasion demands that should cultivate it. i favor heartily the assembling in our churches of nil citizens for prayerful indulgence' and religious exhortation. In order to make the clay truly effective I would like to sec union services of different denominations as far as possible. This will bring about another result indispensable at this time of Landing American Oitisenship together in a common patriotic purpose to which every possible i.c-nov in Amer-)' life tons' he subordinated.

Candidates eligible for 1918 may compete in IS 19, rxnj 3IK4K pa pi tria, with the object of impressing on the non-German population of that country the absolute necessity of linking the destiny of Austria-Hungary with that of Germany.
