oring for time to extricate the wreck
from the net, steamed away for Dover
with the prisoners.
According to the officer the British
government maintained silence in regard

NATIONAL
CONVENTION is
COMING TO BARRE
American Cemetery Superintendents' As
sociation, Now Meeting at Norfolk,
Va, Votes Unanimously to Accept
Barre's Invitation.

The following telegram was received
this morning by Sec. H. A. Phelps of the
Barre Board OF Trade:
"The American Cemetery Superintend-
ents' association will meet in Barre in
1917. Vote unanimous"
The telegram came from Alex Hanton,
superintendent of the Barre cemeteries,
who is attending the 1916 convention of
the organization in Norfolk, Va. this
week and marks the consummation of
several years efforts to get this organ
ization TO meet in Barre. Norfolk was
the successful bidder against Barre last
year, and the latter city gracefully with
drew when it was found that Norfolk
seemed to have the first call. This year
the invitation was renewed through Mr.
Hanton. and the unanimous vote of the
delegates shows how strongly Barre's
claim was made
Usually the convention of the Amer
lean Cemetery Superintendents' associa-
tion calls together a large number of
with their wives and children.
1t is thought that as many as go men,
bers attend the annual conventions. So
it will be seen that Barre will have
number of people TO enter
tain sometime during the summer of
1917, probably in August. The Board of
Trade has been putting in some hard
work in order to attract the 1917 conven-
tion to Barre and its officers. as well as
Supt. Hanton, are TO be congratulated on
the success of the undertaking.

State Supt. Hillegas Sends Notification
To All School Superintendents OF
the Decision-Aetion Taken to Z.
Avoid Danger of Infantile
Paralysis Epidemic.

Burlington, Aug 25.-As precautioI
against a possible epidemic OF poliomyeli,
It's in Vermont, the schools of this state
will not be opened this fall sooner than
September IS. Milo b. Hllegas will send
to-day to all school superintendents in
the state notification of this action tax
en- by him on recommendation of the
members of the state board of health
at a special meeting of the board, at
which he was present, at the office in
the laboratory building last evening. The
members of the board also ruled last
evening that health officers might en-
force any regulations they deem neces-
sary in excess of those already made
by the board in regard to quaranting
children who come into Vermont from
outside the state.
All OF the members of the board were
present at last evenings special ses-
sion and il was recommended TO Com
missioner Hillegas that the schools in
the state be not opened sooner than
September is, in order to avoid a pos
sible epidemic. He assured the board
that their wishes would be carried out.
There is not case OF poliomyelitis in
the state at the present time and this
step was taken as precautionary move,
experience in past years having shown
that the greatest number OF cases have
appeared during the month of Septem
Der. While there is not case of the
disease in the state il seems almost in
evitsble that Vermont will have some
cases with all OF the disease in surround
ing states. The schools will not be
opened until such time as it can be told
whether or not their opening may cause
an epidemic.
DR.. James Sutclife Hill health officer
at Bellows Falls, and Drs. c. A. Gale
and +. H. Gebhardt of the Rutland board
OF health were also present at last even
ing's meeting DIR. Hill inquired of the
members whether or not the quarantine
which has been ordered on children who
come to this state from New York City
might not be enforced upon Children
from other communities from
which they might bring polionyelitis
into Vermont Permission was granted
them, together with any other health
officers in the state, TO make any regu-
ations in excess of those already made |
BY the board deemed advisable and neces-
sary and which local conditions appear
20 warrant This includes the quarantine |
IF any children who might come into
he state from Massachusetts or New |
York states.
