Teachers are
Banqueted on
Visit to City
Meeting Saturday One Of
Best Held In History Of County
Organization.

The faculty of the Ordway schools
royalty entertained the teachers of
the county and some of the school
directors at a banquet at the school
house on Saturday of last week at
the noon hour. The teachers were
here in convention, and the meeting
in general was one of the best In the
history Of the county association. The
forenoon was taken up with regular
class work. At 12 O'Clock the mem
bers of the association with number
of the school directors of the county,
partook Of the banquet prepared by
Miss Mcintosh, head of the domestic
science department of the Ordway
schools, and her class of students.
The banquet was financed by the
faculty Of the Ordway schools.
Too much praise cannot be given
to Miss Mcintosh and her students
for their preparation of the banquet
and the style in which 1t was served
1t was indeed an excellent and very
practical demonstration of the work
they are doing in this department.

Undoubtedly intended for perusal by
the German people, the official war state
ment issued in Berlin on Thursday, was
a model of misdirection, if not of ALSO
lutte deception. To say that the German
troops retired because their position was
unsuitable" whereas, as a matter OF
fact, they were soundly defeated by the
French, was master stroke at beating
about the jungle of words. None but a
skilled builder of sentences, schooled in
the art of clothing adversities, could find
il in his mind to enlist such word to
convey information about great defeat.
If the German people are hoodwinked and
deluded by such an article they are more
simple minded than they had been given
credit for. In that case they will be
ready to believe that the British and
French armies, appearing on the Rhine,
have come merely to make neighborly
,all and sip a cup of tea, providing the
German war Office tells them that at the
outset.

The Vermont chapter of the Red Cross
society, which has been for years doing
good work under a handicap of small
membership, suddenly finds itself trans
formed into a large and influential or
ganization, comprising branches in two
score of cities and towns, all eager to
lend helping hand in the prosecution OF
the society's humane work. Needless to
say, the declaration of a state of war by
the United States government was the
alarum which called several thousands OF
men and women to the aid of the nation
To get this mass of people organized into
working groups is the present aim OF the
parent state organization, as well as to
assimilate the thousands of newcomers
who are expected TO be drawn to the so
eiety during the next few weeks. There
ought easily to be 10000 members of the
Vermont chapter, and there surely will
be, once the hostiities begin We expect
to see marked benefits come from the
work of this organization, and we be
speak for it most cordial cooperation on
the part of all the people of the state.
1t is doing splendid work.

VERMONT WILL BE PROMPT.

Statistics already published regarding
war enlistments are hardly fair to Yer
mont inasmueh as they include merely
the enlistments to the army and not to
the navy and because comparatively no
personal canvass has been made in Yer
mont for army recruits. We feel sure
that when the navy enlistments statistics
are given it will be found that Vermont
has been furnishing more than her quota
of men 10 fill up the navy's full war
strength. The call of the navy has been
brought home to Vermonters by means
of personal recruiting work, and the re-
suits have been admirable; Vermonters
are responding nobly 20 that call Dur
ing the first three days of the week to-
tai Of 32 physically fit men were sent
from the recruiting station in Burling
ton to the training station at Newport,
r. l.. and in the weeks just preceding a
large number Of men were accepted and
put into training at once. The most i'm
perative need Of the nation at present is
for the navy. for the navy will be the
first to feel the brunt Of hostilities. Real
izing that fact and that they can be Of
immediate service to their country in
that arm Of the service Vermonters al
most unanimously have turned their

Our own Fort Ethan Allen is likely to
hum with military activity during the
summer inasmuch as it is to become one
of New England's chief training camps
for reserve officers, while the nearby state
reservation will be the mobilization point
of the recruits to the National Guard Of
Vermont. There is possibility, too,
that the recent order of the Washington
government, permitting the passage of
Canadian troops through United States
territory to seaport, may mean that some
troops from our neighboring nation will
pass southwark through Vermont.

THAT CAPITOL RAID.

If the truth were known about that
raid on the committee room OF the Sen
ate committee on naval affairs in the ma
tional capitol last Wednesday night, it
might be found that the break was due
to the over-z ealousness of some newspa-
per man seeking information concerning
the alleged naval battle off the coast OF
Massachusetts, Wednesday and about
which the navy department was some
what retieent. 1t is scarcely probable
that naval secrets which would be OF
benefit to the enemy would be lett lying
around loose in a suite of rooms that
was more or less accessible to interlopers,
and it is equally probable that no one
with any brains would attempt to get at
the secrets OF the navy department by
such clumsy maneuver as to pound in
door of a committee room and prowl
about the papers there filed. SO the idea
of a hostile intent back of the invasion
of the committee room does not secure
a very strong hold in the public mind;
and. on the other hand, the thought gains
weight that perhaps the break was made
by newspaper reporter who had dis
torted sense of his obligation to his news
paper and to his country, and that he
put SCOOP above patriotism. If such
is the case he is dangerous man to be
employed in such a responsible capacity,
and he should not be shielded by his
newspaper if his identity is known.

A sign of the breaking down of the
partisan bulwarks in the administration
at Washington in the crisis now facing
the nation is given in the appointment
Of Prof. Frederick p. Keppel of Columbia
university to be an assistant secretary
Of war. Prof. keppel is Republican.
His special qualifications for the work
are not generally known but it is to be
presumed that he does have some quslifi-
cations which make him a logical man
for the position. Prof. Keppel showed
his patriotism anyway by volunteering
his services to the country without com
pensation.

they were meandering along behind

ton of Detroit was formed year ago to
take care of Christine Nelson. II years
old, after four business men had read
the newspaper account of her arrest as a
street walker. They met the Judge be-
fore whom she was TO be tried, and ar
ranged to have her live with minister
in Chatham, Ont She went willingly,
and was making good progress in school
until her story got about. Then all her
new friends dropped her. Soon after
ward she disappeared and when one of
the men who had befriended her found
her leading the old life in Toronto he
could not persuade her, for all her dejec-
tion, to go back and try again. The HUI
