tor Says DR.. Hutchinson.
,pr Ausoer.rrO rnuuD

NEW YORK, July 6-The subject
Of military training in the public
school schools, which has been en-
crossing the delegates to the annual
convention of the National Education
Association. was held in allegiance
Thursday as far as official action was
concerned, The question was touched
upon, however, by Dr. Woods Hutch
Inson In an address.
Military training In the schools, "
he said, may prove the great eman-
clpator that we have been waiting
for to free our system Of education
from the clerical shackles and classic
al absurdItles of the past and place
1t upon hygienit rational and sci
entliC basis. Instead Of deplorlng
It, we should meet 1t half way and
see what we have not been able to
obtain for the health and the bodily
welfare of the child In the frivolous
name Of play we cannot easily obtain
In the name of war"

Niqht is Generally Quiet North
and South of the River
Somme.
GERMANS TAKE HILLS
Second Positions Of the Ger
mans So Demolished That
Resistance is Weak.
~ ,rnnc,LrEn sREGLl

PARIS. July 6-Last night was
generally quiet north and south OF
the river Somme, says today's Official
statement Of the war office.
There was few local engage
ments during the night in which the
Germans captured two small WOODS
north of Hem. The French also cap
tured wood.
Germans Repulsed.
South of the Somme the night
passed in quiet. A German counter
attack on Belloy was repulsed easily.
Tho French have captured seventy
six cannon and several hundred ma
chine guns.
There was no infantry fighting on
the Verdun front. The Germans are
attempting to lombard the cathedral
at Verdun.
Moro French Progress.
The Anglo-French offensive in Pl-
eardy has had another day OF sub
Btatntial progress, outstanding fea-
lures being the resumption OF the
French advance north Of the Somme
and the capture of German second
positions there.
Complete preparations had been
made quietly in this section virtually
unhindered by the Germans while the
French forces south of the river
pulled up level and got thorough
grip on German southern positions.
This was accomplished by the eJec-
ton Of Germans from the part OF
Estres they still held and the cap
ture of their communication between
Estres and BelIoy. The northern
troops then emerged from their
trenches and dashed forward a sooa
mile.
Germans Weakened.
The Germans second position had
been so demolished by artillery that
they we're unable TO make strong
Resistance except at the village OF
Hem. Here the attacking troops
met desperate opposition. Each house
ruined was 1ercoly disputed, but by
iint Of hard fighting the village was
won as we'll as Monacu farm to the
southwest.
The French consider the capture OF
Hem as Of considerable Importance
for It commands the passage OF the
river to Feuilleres already in their
hands. Its possession thus assures
a direct bond between corps on
either side of the stream.
The Germans are beginning to re-
act more vigorously as reserves ar
rive. particularly south of the Somme
and the French advance there is hot
" contested. French critics expect
that the Germans will concentrate all
their former energies in defense OF
the villages of BarleuX and Villers-
Carbonnel. The former bars the ra-
