Remington-U.- M. c. Go. Build ingS Will Cover Former
 Fishing Place.

Pembroke lake and Stiflnan's pond will disappear from sight within a few months and the waters that once were dotted with fishermen will flow placid ly under the buildings of the Reming- ton-U. M. c. Co.,, south of Boston ave- nue.
 Engineers are planning concrete sluiceway that will confine the waters to a six foot width. Through the Isluiceway the lake and pond waters will flow and will be used to wash the floors of the new buildings.
 Structures for the enlargement of the Remington-U. M. c. plant will be erected over the site of the lake and pond, and before many months the once familiar sight of the water will be lost to view.
 Some of the flow is now used ins the old buildings. It enters through pip ing and is used to wash with. It is too insanitary to drink.

PANIC AMONG NORMAL SCHOOL
 STUDENTS NOW
Seventeen Will Be Dropped, is the Report Political
 Force Exercised?

Seventeen prospective teachers will be dropped froun the Training school the latter part of this week or next week, according to plans formed by the Critics and th1s principal. Just emerging from the avalanche of crit1- cism and complaint that was caused by the marking systen9 among teach CTS, the board of education members are finding worriment ixr this
 The seventeen are assumed to be the members of the junior class with the lowest marks. After ntsarly nine months work and study at the> normal school, they are expected to be noti- fled within few days that tn ey are no longer on the eligible list.
 Dropping the juniors will be for economic purposes as much as be cause they are not as high in the marks as others There isn't roon.N for them in the senior class and therefore 1t wouldn't do to promote them.
 The seniors teach classes in the Training school. As there are 39 in the junior class and not half that number of rooms in the Training school. they couldn't all get teaching experience. Then again, the critics couldn't take care of so many.
 Much trepidation is felt at the Nor mai school among the juniors, and the board of education members are beginning to worry. Political forces are being brought to bear on the matter.
 Teachers are eagerly awaiting the meeting of the board of education to be held next week when it is expected many of those who were wrongfu1ly listed as not competent will be restor- ed to their rfghtful places and the Clerical errors" will be corrected.

No Protection for Lusitania.

The question of whether the Lusi-
tania was sufficiently safeguarded on
her last voyage. in the light of the
warnings that have been given that
she was marked for destruction, is
certain to be one of burning interest
to the English people. and cannot fail
to be of interest also in this country.
Already an outcry has arisen in
England against the admiralty for
its failure to provide any sort Of es-
cort or patrol to reduce the subma-
rine danger to a minimum. The name
Of Winston Churchill, first lord of
the admiralty, occurs in these pre-
liminary protests, and it is apparent
ly inevitable that in the parliament
ary debate Churchill will be called
upon to defend himself and his official
course since the war began. He has
been seriously criticised heretofore,

Student Military Camps.

A decision by the controller of the
Treasury relative TO the propriety of
an expenditure for expenses at the
student military camp at Ludington,
Mich, last summer may have the ef-
feet OF preventing the continuation
OF this system of military instruc-
ton OF college and university pupils.
These camps have for several years
been regarded as d valuable feature
OF the army's work, carrying military
instruction to large number of
youths who have profited physically
IRON IT, and at the same time have
been given concept OF the duties OF
soldier IN way TO increase their
value as potential lighting men in
case OF national emergency. Ameri-
can military preparedness is in such
a low state that these meagcr at
tempts at general instruction deserve
TO be encouraged rather than dis
couraged, and il is to be hoped that

cnt
kentucky soil, by the way, as The
Star has several times recently OBJ
served, is very interesting just now.
A campaign is in progress in the
state with features OF the greatest
Importance locally, and with an im-
portant bearing on the national sit
uation. 1t is startling, indeed, to
consider that in that commonwealth
the democracy is at present split wide
open on the subject of prohibition
Mr.. Watterson's dictum, that no
democrat can be a prohibitionist, is
challenged by thousands of demo-
Gratis. and they have candidate for
the democratic nomination for gov
crnor. The primary election takes
place in August.
But more important still is the
fact that the President and Mr..
Bryan have been brought into the
tight. the former on the side of the
-prohibitionists and the latter on
the side OF the prohibitionists. A let
ter written by Mr.. Wilson when Gov
ernor OF New Jersey on the drink
question. and taking ground against
its introduction into politics, is being
circulated, while Mr.. Bryan's well
known views. recently very much en-
phasized, against the saloon and all
for which it stands, in politics and
out, are quoted everywhere.
An idea exists that this masks a
purpose to force, If possible, Mr..
Bryan out of the cabinet 1t seems
to be clear that if the anti-prohibi-
tionists win. and write a platform
and nominate candidate opposed 10
Mr.. Bryan's views. he will not be
able to participate in the campaign.
How could he. flouted in such fash
ion? And from that beginning
might spring trouble OF a grave
character between the President and
his premier.
The visiting statesmen al Louisville
could not have been ignorant of all
this, and were justified if they con-
ccrned themselves somewhat with it.
And by the way, not one of them
is Bryan man. Certainly Roger
Sullivan is not. and Senator Hughes
is from the Presidents state. and
one of his spokcsmen i'll the Senate.
