THE SCHOOL DEFICIT-Some-
how the suggestion of Sup't Ella
Flagg Young to cut down salaries 10
per cent in order to help out the
school deficit" doesn't sound right
to met does not have the proper
democratic ring. A reduction of this
kind would still leave Mrs. Young
drawing $4,000 per year, Mr.. ShOop
more than $4,000, the district super
mtendents $4,000 each, a number of
the principals more than $4,000, and
their lives are no more important or
those dependent upon them any more
worthy than the rank and file of the
teaching force and employees who
draw approximately $1,000 per year
and whose 10 per cent would be
severe loss and in some cases actual
distress.
Before a sacrifice along these lines
is made, a condition more nearly ap-
preaching equality should be reach
ed, and as an amendment to the
above proposal 1 suggest a gradual
ing scale of reduction, greatest where
the salary is greatest, less where it is
less and no reduction at all where it
is least, For instance, let Mrs.
Young's reduction for 1915 be fig
ured at Is per cent, which would still
leave her 800 to live on, more than
twice as much as those who do the
actual teaching and who are humanity
and spiritually just as good as she is.
Let those who receive salaries Of
SIS, 900 or more submit to a so per
cent reduction; they surely can
scrub along on $4,000 per year when
there are so many just as good peo-
pie, with needs just as great, who live
on $500.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
GUARDIANS OF LIBERTY.-As a
member Of the Guardians of Liberty
I would like to reply-to the criticism
of Mr.. William c. Dickson on the
religious controversy in the Public
Forum of The Day Book, under date
of March 10. wish to say that we
are not concerning ourselves about
anybody's religious belief, his en-
plOyeT's or his own, any more than
we are concerned about his little job,
which he seems to value as highly as
his constitutional rights.
Once more let me say that we don't
object to anybOdy's religious opinion
but we do object to the encroach-
ments of political Romanism- It may
be well for US to examine ROmanism
and see what it is, briefly: It has its
own schools, including law schools; it
has its own laws, including marriage
and divorce; it has it's own hospitals
and charitable institutions; it has its
own prisons; it has its own army, and
2lso claims a battleship.
In short, it is a monarchy. We do
not question the right Of any Amer
lean citizen to hold Office, but we do
deny the qualifications of one to hold
office who owes allegiance to for
eign pOtentate. Let us follow the adj
vice of the great father Of our cOun-
try, George Washington: "Place none
but Americans on guard" - Lee
Green, D N. Ada st.

dreams come true, but her happiness
over the coming babe is clOuded by
the fear that she has broken some
law. So she writes to The Day Book,
and the Forum, which has ready
made answers for all the problems of
the world, has no answer for her.

MANY W OME N SERVING AS
 POLICE

LONDON, June 28-It is announced that over II, ,000 women have been en- rolled in Great Britain under the scheme authorized by the Home Secre- tary for organizing women police.
 At Brighton, Winchester, and other places, women police have been in evidence for some months, but they have been the result of local effort rather than of general nationwide movement. The Home Office author ization was intended to give official recognition to the scheme and en- courage its general adoption.
 The women police are intended par ticularly to take care of young women and children in their respective dis tricts. The chief recruiting efforts are being put forward in the vicinity of the great military camps such as Colchester, Chelmsford, Canterbury Dover, Winchester. and Exter.
 The policewomen are given a course of special physical training and wear a distinctive, form with an armlet not unlike that worn by Special Constables enrolled soon after the beginning ol the war for use in case of aerial attack and for home defense.

ALBERT PEARCE LOSES
 LIFE NEAR ANCHORAGE

Albert Pearce, an employe of the government, was drowned at Eagle River, near Anchorage, two weeks ago. Pearce departed from Anchorage en- route to Eagle River. to accept em- ployment on a railway job there. He was last seen aboard a scow that had
 been used in conveying supplies Tor the work there. A bundle containing roll of blankets and clothing, belong ing to Pearce, and also his coat, were found on the scow. The pike pole was
 missing. It Is supposed that Pearce. in navigating the scow with the pike pole in the river. lost his balance and fell overheard. His remains have not been found although search has been instituted.
 Pearce was well known In Seward Cordova and Katalla, where he for merly resided. He went to the west
 ward month ago to seek employment with the government. He was gener ally called "Slivers" by his intlmates

BELGIAN K|DD|ES LOOKED AFTER
 BY PAR|S|ANS

PARIS, June 28.-Three hundred and fifty little Belgian child-refugees have just arrived In Paris from the region of the Yser, which has lately been the scene of bitter fighting. Most of the $50 are orphans. In other cases their parents refused to leave their fields, but were anxious that the children should be taken away from the constant danger of bombardment.
 For months most of these children have lived in ruined houses, in caves in barns, and even with the soldiers in the trenches. Colonies for them have now been arranged in Southern France, where they will be looked after by Belgian school teachers and Belgian nuns.

GERMANS EAGER I ] AD ] p I
 ORPHANS

BERLIN, June 2S-The war, with its countless deaths, has aroused in Berlin and other cities a heretofore unpre- cedented interest in orphan children and their rearing, and an increasingly keen desire on the part of childless couples to adopt waif.
 The orphan department of the Ger man Headquarters for Child Care re- ports that the number of ont-and-out adoptions in Berlin mounted from II in 1913 to S3 in 1914. and that fin the first four months of 1915 23 have already been completed.
 In 1913 about 500 orphans were placed in families, without a legal adoption being consumated. This figure increased to 1000 in 1914, most of the increase being noted in the months from August to December. or since the beginning of the war. From present indications that record will be broken this year.
 Early in August of last year the Headquarters sent out an appeal for the care, without pay, of children, and received 70 responses almost at once. It receives. every week, requests for the adoption of war babies" from childless couples, frequently with the minimizing addition that the war baby" preferably should be two year-old girl with light hair" or a "three-year-old boy with fine features. " To secure adopted parents of de- sirable kind for illlegimate children has always proved a perplexing prob lem for the society. but there appear now to be an increasing number of people who are willing to overlook the misfortune of the child's birth and uu their share in rearing generation that shall i'll the gaps caused by the war.

DUTCH KEEN LIN STOPPING | r
 SMUCCLERS

COPENHAGEN, June 2s.-A few heavy fines and imprisonments at the beginning of the war have relieved the government of serious difficulties In preventing the smuggling of contra band The only important trade in contraband which the authorities failed to stop took place five months ago, when a director of an important corn company was caught shipping two cargoes of corn to Germany and was fined about 37,000.
 The authorities detected the own CTS of the Carmen" attempting to send copper to Germany All con nected with the attempt were heavily fined and two of the owners were sentenced to three years at hard labor. Their vessel was confscated by the state.
 Here was also a futile attempt of a Swedish firm to send cargo of Danish rifles to Germany. Those i'm plicated were heavily fined.
 Since war broke out the trade with Germany in foodstuffs has been heavily increased. An extraordinary trade in horses took place until five months ago. Animals valued at no less than s25,OOO,OOO were exported and peasants received as much as s300 each for inferior horses, but this trade was stopped before the end Of 1914.

RUSSIANS MARCH SIX DAYS AND
 NIGHTS

WARSAW, Russia, June 2S.-whne the German army generally effects concentrations and strategic move ments by railway or automobile trans port, the Russians are generally com pelled to travel on foot. During the latest fighting, with it's continual play of advance and retreat, some of the Russian corps marched six days and nights without single break.
 The Russians march fifty minutes and halt ten minutes every hour. Dur Ing the halt the footgear is often changed and always readjusted. There are halts of half an hour and two hours several times n day for meals, but when movements which necessi- tated six days and nights of trampng, the steady marching continued without interruption, the men sometimes sleep ing as they walked and waking only they stumbled and fell. In the last periods of this splendid march even the regulation halts were curtailed. These men are now in the fighting line, having come to the front by forced marches in order to reinforce places threatened by the German phalanx attacks.

COST 0F LIVING INCREASES IN
 ENGLAND

LONDON, June 2S.-There Is no halt In the advance in the cost of the cost of living in England. The index figures In the London Statist show that the average increase in prices Of foodstuffs since the beginning of the war Is 43 per cent. This represents an increase of about a billion dollars in the sum expended for food since August 1. The dsconcertlng thing about these figures to the English student of statistics Is that the greater part of the profit from higher prices will accrue to farmers in foreign coun- tries, whereas a hundred years ago. during the Napoleanic wars, prac- tically the whole advantage of the high prices then current was reaped by British farmers and landowners.
 In normal times great rise in prices checks consumption, but so far as England is concerned, the present advance has failed to do this, the enormous war expenditure having brought much additional income to the industrial classes, with the result that the purchasing power of the mass of people has increased more than suf- ficiently to provide for the advance in the cost of living. Consequently there has been no reduction in consumption In fact, the consumption of food in recent months has shown expansion rather than contraction.

rha Attorney In EnzIand.

The use OF the word attorney denotes
4 belated mind. Since Nov. l, 1875
attorneys have ceased to exist, their
title merged by law into that OF sole,
itor of the supreme court of Judica'
ture, says a writer in the London Mail.
The name had long been used as a
term OF abuse. Johnson observed OF
an acquaintance that The did not care
TO speak Ill of any man behind his
back, but he believed the gentleman
was an attorney"
Archbishop Trench In 1859 noted that
the word attorney was going out of ia
vor and that the lower branch Of the
legal profession preferred to be called
solicitors. So when the judicature act
OF 1873 was before parliament clause
was inserted abolishing the obnoxious
title. But with. our delightful con-
servatism we still honor the attorney
general"

FIGURING THE COST
OF Automobile Trip To California and
Return.

South Randolph, VT, Sept. 8, 1915.
Editor, Times :--We have figured ur
as near as possible the number of miles
travelled by auto on our trip, cost oil
gasoline and other oils, etc. We trav'
eled by auto 9,l20-4,200 in going out
900 miles while In California, and 1920
coming home. While in California we
travelled by boat and electric cars over
500 miles besides what we travelled by
auto. We used for the whole trip 32i
gallons of gasoline, costing S56.l4. The
average cost Of gasoline was l6 l-5 cents
per gallon. The average cost of gasoline
to run the car mile was trife over
i0,6 Of cent. We used 23ha gallons OF
lubricating oil, costing 1915. Cup grease
| for whole trip, go cents. Coming back
we averaged Is SO miles per hour for
249 hours or 1915 "a hour days. In com
ing home we camped one night in Cali.
fornia at Applegate. In Nevada we
camped five nights, at Reno, Leoveioek,
Wumennucca, Carlin and Wells. In
Utah we camped four nights, Lencin,
Brigham, Morgan and Green River. In
Wyoming, three nights, Fl. Steele, Lara
mic and Hillsdale In Nebraska, four
nights, at Roscoe, Lexington, Wood Riv-
err and Fremont. In Iowa, three nights,
Missouri Valley, Jordon and Clarence.
In Illinois two nights, Geneva and near
South Bend, Ind. One night in Indiana
at Edgerton, Ohio two nights, Norwalk
and Ashtabula. New York, three nights,
near Buffalo, Auburn and Chenille. Our
route home was much more direct than
the one going west. The first half of
our trip in going west took double the
amount of gasoline to run our car per 100
miles than it did for the rest oil the trip.
The reason was we used more air and
l., s gasoline. We found that when tray
cling at the rate of 20 miles per hour
we could shut of more than one-half OF
the gasoline and have just as much pow
er and the motor would not heat so bad
and we could run nearly all day with
out refilIing the radiator, and that meant
something where the water was scarce on
the desert While in Stockton we had
a hole drilled in the intake manifold
and a valve inserted so we could use
more air without shutting off the gas
supply. Therefore we had a good deal
more power coming home, especially in
the high attitudes and saved US good
many dollars for gasoline.
I see at one time ! spoke OF desert
ants and said would write about them
later. We we're warned not to tent near
an ant hill and especially not to disturb
one near where we were camping, az
they were ferocious when disturbed and
their bite was nearly as poisonous as a
sting from a bee. Sometimes the ant
hill would be two feet high and the top
was always covered with coarse gravel
and no one could explain how they got il
there. One grain Of the gravel would be
as heavy as 100 ants. There was no
living vegetation within 10 feet of the
ant hill and when we set up our tents
they were generally several other 10
feet away n ant hills were not too
plenty. Anyway, we let them alone and
they did us. r. D. Camp.

from the batteries. The Royal George,

one shot, while another cut the main

The heaviest shot which struck the

In diameter. One such shot, to the as
