rHE ERIE CATASTRoPHE.

The catastrophe which befell the city
of Erie, Pa, in the night of Aug. 3 is
a very hard blow to recover from, and
the attendant loss OF life was so large
as to make the food visitation one of
the worst in recent years in the eastern
section Of the United States. To have
scores of dwellinghouses washed away
and dozens of factories torn from their
foundations means double suffering, for
il not only deprives hundreds of people
OF homes but takes from many adults
the opportunity 10 work in order TO re-
coup their losses; and at the same time
the mental anguish occasioned by the
loss of relatives and friends adds a par.
ticularly sharp pang Of distress to the
survivors. Moreover, Erie is only small
city, being only about five times larger
than Barre; and il will be a severe drain
on individuals and the municipality to
make good the millions Of dollars Of dam
age sustained as the waters, released by
a broken dam, swept down on the com.
munity, driving with irresistible force
the lighter structures in its path. In
many respects the Johnstown food of
many years ago finds its counterpart in
the Eric horror Of Tuesday night; and,
peculiarly enough, the two eatastrophes
,pero In Che same state put peuusvi.
yania Is rich and prosperous state and
its people win he fully able to meet the
demands II Erie Of itself is unable 10 DO
50, and Il may be expected. therefore,
that Erie's sufferers win not remain long
IN deprivation Of homes, food and the
ordinary comforts Of life.

It was expected that prominent fea-
ture of the annual encampment OF the
Vermont National Guard would be in
struction in aviation under the tuition
of competent instructor with ma
chine to give practical demonstrations
Yet full half week OF the encampment
was allowed to pass before the machine
and the aviator arrived on the muster
grounds, the latter ready to give his in
structions to the militia boys. There
must have been lack of coordination
somewhere that would have permitted
such disjointed arrangement.

ways Of improving conditions for them
selves and the state as whole. This
advice should also be given a respectful
hearing because it comes from success
full men who are free from selfish mo-
tives in offering their suggestions and
oftentimes the following of their advice
would be to our advantage. In this way,
they may 10 a limited extent repay some
of the loss they caused Vermont by lsav-

The kaiser's wife was said to be pre-

the kaiser; but the news dispatches have
it that she has gone in the other direc-

her action, but it is certain that the
German occupation of Warsaw has been
DELAYED beyond the time when the world
expected that event to occur.

HIGHER GERMAN SCHOOLS
KEEP OPEN DURING WAR

BERLIN, Sept. 14.-EXcept for four
forestry schools, all the German in
situations of higher education have
kept open throughout the war, though,
OF course, with diminished attend
ance.
In the summer term of 1914 there
were at the % German universities, II
technical academies, commercial
colleges, 3 veterinary schools, and six
agricultural and mining schools, TO-
100 students, a number which in the
autumn off 1914 had sunk to 64,700. OF
this number $4,000 were registered as
under arms"
In the present summer term, there
are only 1900 students attending lee,
lures at Berlin University, as compar
ed with $500 last year. This number
includes women students.
The percentage of German univers-
ity students who have gone to the
front is largest at Koenigsberg-S4
per cent; while it is 60 per cent at
Heidelberg; Sc per cent at Munich, "a
per cent at Merlin and only II per
cent at Frankfurt.
The total number of German stud
ents and professors killed in the war,
according to the Academic Rundschau
is 1900. Leipzig University has suf
fered most severely of all, losing 266
students.
