NEW YORK WOMEN PRAYING
FOR PEACE PARADE RAIN

New York, Aug. 29.-Thousands of
women in New York looked out upon
lowering skies early today and earn
estly hoped that it might rain when
the monster peace parade moves
down Fifth avenue this afternoon.
Most Of the women who will
march will be clad in black. The only
music of the procession viii be muf-
fled drums, and the leaders of the
movement in protest against the
crime against humanity in the Eu-
ropean war believe it only fitting that
the heavens should pour down upon
the silent marching women verit-
able torrent of tears.
An invitation was issued today to
all women visiting New York from
outside cities to join in the parade.
All are asked to dress in black or
white, those in white wearing black
crepe on their left arm.

in years past the socialists have as
Sembled in Barre for their semi Ian

Bennington will attend.
Two years ago the socialist conven-

FRYING TO MAKE NiNO THE
SCAPEGOAT.

Some of the friends of the Wilson adj
ministration are trying to make Admiral
Mayo scapegoat for our present trouble
Mexico. This effort is characteristic
aut it will hardly succeed, Congressman
Frank L. Greene has called the attention
of some Of the assailants of Mayo to the
fact that the real blunder was made
long before the Tampico incident and
that If anybody is to be made the goat
Tor the administration it must be the
"Commander-in-Ch of the Navy" who
had the war vessels sent to their respec-
tive locations on the Mexican coast.
Admiral Mayo not only obeyed the or
ders of his commander-n-chef, but he
also strictly followed precedent, faith
fully obeyed the regulations of the navy
and carried out customs which hsY" been
established over century. ETt"I' COM
Inander of a var Vessel ir a foreign
port must know international low and

At The annual din the American

louri and who oonsc has to be

that The MEXICAN trouble IN its present
form was not brought on this country by
any act of the administration or of Con-
,ress or of tue President. 1t was brought
about by one naval officer thirsting for
glory, who made himself famous by or
lcrlng a salute 70 the flag"
Congressman Rarthodt said that when
.cws Of this move reached Washington
the administration was appalled,, but it
was up to the administration to back up
Admiral Mayo or make itself foolish in
the eyes Of the world and establish a
reputation for falling to support it's
naval officers. He continues
LAS matter Of fact, the whole trouble
comes about by this practice of the Uni
ted States in having battleships stationed
at the various ports of the world where
there Is likely to be trouble, Sixteen
years ago the Maine was lying in
Havana harbor and something happened
to 1t. No one knows whether it was
blown up by Spanards or by an inter-
nal explosion. but it caused war that
cost this government millions Of dollars
and the lives of a great many men. II
the Maine had not been at Havana har-
Dor. there might have been no war.

THE LONG VACATION.

The school-boys of the country will
hardly agree with United States Commits
sioner of Education Philander p. Clax-
ton that schools should keep open
through what is now a long and
wasteful vacation" The average school
boy has the vacation habit. He lives
through the long winter months in antici-
patton of that delightful time of vacancy.
He is untroubled by efficiency ideals
and the prospect of unbroken play-timc
seems to him In every way desirable
1t is during the summer vacation that
he lives: he merely exists through the
rest of the year. It is the heaven of
his year. But 1t would hardly be ex-
pected that the boy would look upon
the influence Of the vacation with a
| critical eye and view it from the eff
cheney standpoint
To the boy who lives within reach of
the country the vacation brings a null
titude of valuable experiences and op-
portunity to browse and dream as well
as an almost invaluable chance to de-
velop his particular bent. 1t is not well
to be in lcadinE-string4 always. There
can be no doubt that the freedom from
special tasks. and from definite super
vision. which the summer vacation gives
the boy bring into play powers and in
| terests of a more spontaneous nature
| 1t is during the long vacation that those
curious and wonderful collections" OF
everything from flowers and birds eggs
! to insects and sticks and stones are
boarded together. 1t is at this time that
the extensive building operations of
youth are pushed to their greatest
trumphs and that those delectablc eX-
plorations are undertaken.
The other side of the vacation question
is that presented by the case of the boy
who lives in large city where there are
only the streets and parks and public
backgrounds available. For the city
boy who cannot escape from his en-.
vironment to a summer home the vaca.
ton often means street-playng. gana
activity and general Decentralization. Il
presents to this boy little of the com
pensatng freedom. For him the school:
might well he kept open The summer
courses might be varied from the studio:
of the winter to present less of the
elementary routine and instead of til,
reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic
of the regular courses, certain of tht
frills of learning, science studies, exer
else in the manual arts. expeditions into
the country to supplement nature courses
and numerous studies of a like nature
might be introduced. In this way th
classes would be ready to go on together
[ when they met in the fall.
AS for the entire abolition of the Ions
vacation, there Is some reason to fca
that 1t might make Jack a dull boy.
