SOUTHERN STATES IN
EDUCATIONAL RACE
Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama
Haven't Passed Compui.
sorry LAWS.

Washington, Aug. IA race to
avoid being the last State in the Union
to adopt compulsory education laws"
says a statement issued by tie bureau
of education. is apparently under
way in the Southern States. according
to reports received at the bureau.
There are now only three States with
out such laws, Florida having recent
ly joined Texas and South Carolina
in adopting compulsory education by
legislative enactment The three
States still without laws are Georgia.
Mississippi and Alabama.
The new Florida law provides that
on petition of one-fourth of the cleo
tors of any special school district or
county the county board Of education
shall call an election to determine
whether attendance shall be compul-
sorry therein. A three-fifths majority
vote 10 necessary for adoption.
Children between eight and four
teen years OF age are required to at
tend for at least eighty days each year
unless exempt because of physical or
mental disability; because they live
two and a half miles from a school
and no transportation is provided; be-
cause their services are required for
the support Of a dependent family,
or because their parents are unhulo
to provide books and clothing.
"By the provisions of the law the
county boards of education are au-
thorized to appoint attendance officers
ITO enforce the law and to take a CEN
sus OF the children between six and
years of age.
Although the Florida law 10 thus
of the optional type, 1t is clear recog-
milton of the compulsory principle and
is regarded as a real step in advance.
'In the field Of compulsory educa-
ton throughout the United States II
is believed that the next steps Will
have to do with the adoption OF the
statewide laws where optional laws
now prevail; the raising of the age
limits in conformity with the best
principles in child-laoor legislation
and more strict enforcement OF exist
ing laws"

BANK CASHIER, PRETTY
GIRL AND MONEY GONE
Englewooy, n. j.. Bank Contributes
$1,000 to Shopping Fund
of Trusted Employe.

Englewood, N j., August 1.--Abra-
ham Cornelius, Jr., for many years
cashier of the Citizens National Bank,
a married man with a family; Miss
Loretta Adelgais, an attractive young
stenographer employed in the bank,
and $1,000 in cash from the banks
vault have been missing since We'd
nesday afternoon. There Is no tangi-
BILE evidence to show that Cornelius
and the girl. for whom he is said to
have had an infatuation for several
years have disappeared together, but
Clinton H. Blake, president of the
bank, and the girls heartbroken
mother, a widow, attach important
significance to the fact that each van
ished from Englewood about the same
time.
Cornelius finished work at the bank
as usual late Wednesday afternoon,
and boarded a trolley for New York.
One of the banks directors sat in
the same seat with him and they
chatted freely all the way. The cashier
said he intended to do some shop
ping in the city. Friday morning
President Blake made certain of Cor
nelius' ppesrance, and the loss OF
FL l, uVU OF the pdnk money AZ was
then learned that the cashier had not
returned from his shopping trip
and that neither his family nor friends
had seen him for several days.
Meanwhile. the Engiewood Board
of Trade had been trying to trace the
whereabouts OF Miss Adelgais, the
boards stenographer. She had been
employed three weeks ago at the
earenst solicitation of Cornelius. On
Wednesday afternoon she asked to
leave the Office early, as she had an
engagement in New York. Then she
sent a telegram to her mother at
Rochelle Park, saying the board
would meet late Wednesday night
and she would stay in Englewood
with friends The board had no
meeting at all that night and the girl
did not appear at her desk on Thurs
day morning, Her mother admitted
her disappearance from home.

and Germany as we'll as Great Britain
and her allies, the United States are
not able to carry on trade in the con-
sequence of the war situation, L may
well be mentioned that the Nnited
States Is without doubt in a position

bition of the export of foodstuffs and
raw materials II the legitimate trade
in these articles between the Union
and the two central powers is not
permitted.
IF the washington cabinet could
find itself prepared TO act in this df.
rection, IL would not only follow the
tradition always upheld in the United
States to safeguard the freedom of*he
seas. but il would also offer the great
service of defeating the criminal en-
deavor OF the enemies of Austria Hun
gary and Germany TO enlist st3~varon

appeal to the government of the Union

point OF view hereinbefore taken IN
this most important question and con-
sider the statements given herewith.

In judging the aumlSSaDtllty of the
trade in contraband of war. one can
use as a basis any one of the various
criteria ests blished by law. and arrive.
according to each, at the conclusion
that the export of war materials from
the United States as 1t is carried on
in the present war cannot be made to
accord with the requirements of neu-
trality. II is not a question as to
whether the branch of American in
dustry occupied with the production
OF war material shall be protected in
order that it's export as 1t has been
carried on in peace times may suffer
no impairment. Furthermore, this In
dustry has experienced an unexpected
increase because of the war. In order
to manufacture the immense amount
OF weapons. munitions, and other war
material of all kinds which Great Bril-
tain and her allies have ordered In
the United States OF America in the
course OF the last month, IL required
not only the full utilization and adap-
tation of existing plants. but the crea-
ton OF new factories as we'll as the
diversions of large numbers of work
men from all branches OF trade--in
short, a widespread change in the
economic life OF the country--the right
of the American government can from
no quarter be disputed to decree an
embargo on this obviously enormous
expert of war materials which Is no.
toriously for the exclusive beneft of
one of the belligerent parties.
The United States government
could meet with no reproof If il were
to avail itself OF its competency, even
IL II took recourse to the passage of
Ia law in accordance with its exami-
nation. Even If ii proved correct In
principle that a neutral State may not
change the laws in force within Its
Jurisdiction concerning it's attitude to-
