 Presidents Address.
 The address of the class president, Michael Maietta, follows:
 "In behalf of the class graduating tonight extend to you hearty well come. Your presence here proves your interest in our welfare and Is gratifying to us.
 We hope the class of 1917 will prove worthy of the opportunity off fered 1t and that the foundation of an education which has been iaid here, will encourage us to seek higher degree of development. May it prove the foundation of strong characters, that shall not only insure our own success in life. but shall also contribute to the welfare of the com munity, state and nation. which so generously provides an education Tor its citizens This education Is pro- vided not only for those who may at-' tend the regular day school but also for those who are denied that priv ilege, and must work as we'll as learn.
 We recognize that since our exer- cises here tonight end our school work, we face a greater work, before us. Tho responsibilities are greater and the problems grow more difficult. but we face the future with confi- dence.
 Before leaving. however. we wish to thank our teachers for their faith full efforts, in our behalf. If we have failed to measure up to our opportu- mites as students, the fault is not theirs. To MT. French also, who has spared no labor to make this year profitable to us we extend our thanks. and in closing let me express our heartfelt gratitude to the board of education, which has made possible the education otherwise beyond our reach.

NATION HAS a,5oo,oOo AUTos
Increase Of 43 Per Cent Last Year
Gross Revenues $25,S65, 5,369.75

Washington, July Tn 1916 there
were 1O67332 more motor cars regis
tered in the United States than in
1915. This was an increase of 43 per
cent. The gross total of registered
cars, was 3,512,996; the number Of
motorcycles registered was 250,S20
The several states collected in regis
tration and license fees, including
those of chauffeurs and operators, a
total gross revenue OF $26S65 ,369.75
OF this amount 92 per cent, or 23,910,-
81 was applied directly to construc-
tion. improvement or maintenance of
the public roads in 43 states, accord
ing TO figures compiled by the Office Of
public roads of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, in Circular 70
Automobile Registrations, Licenses
and Revenues in the United States,
1915"
The figures for 1916 correspond very
closely with the annual percentage in
crease of motor car registration of the
last three years. This yearly increase
has averaged 40 per cent in the num-
ber Of cars and 80 per cent in revenue.
When viewed over a period Of years
the increase in motor car registration
and gross revenue has been remark
able. In 1906 the total state registra-
tions were approximately $4,000 cars
on account of which the several states
collected in fees and licenses total
gross revenue of about 100000 Only
small part of this was applied TO
road work In 1916 the $25, ,369.75
collected formed nearly nine per cent
of the, total rural road and bridge rev.
enues of the states.
Recent years have shown an increas-
ing tendency to put the spending of the
motor car revenues directly in the
hands of the state highway depart
ments, OF the total amount applied to
road work in 1916, 20 per cent of s16,-
All 500, was expended more or less di-
rectly under the control of supervision
OF state highway departments. Only
13 states did not exercise eAy direct
control over the expending of the net
automobile revenues.

TWOYEARSEACH
FOR GOLDM AN
AND DBERKMAN
Anarchists Already on Way
to Federal Prisons
PRISONERS DEF Mt
Convicted of Conspiracy to OBJ
stTuct Operation of selective
Draft Law.

New York, July 1O-Emma Goldman
and Alexander Berkman, anarchists,
convicted here last night Of conspi-
racy to obstruct operation of the Sc.
lective draft law, started for prison in
the custody Of federal marshals a few
hours after the verdict had been re-
turned. Berkman will be taken to the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca,
and Miss Goldman will be taken to
the state penitentiary at Jefferson
City, Mo. Each was sentenced by
Federal Judge Mayer to the maximum
penalty OF two-years' Imprisonment
and to pay fine Of $4,000.
The prisoners were defiant before
their departure, Marshal Mccarthy
permitted few friends to say good
by to them, and as they were being
put into a patrol wagon, Berkman
said I'VE are going straight to Petro-
grad by way Of Atlanta and Jefferson
City. We're glad to 60"
Two years and 80 days is a long
time, Miss Goldman said, and
judges by then may realize they are
not the directing hand OF God. 1t is
cruelty added to injustice to deny us
the privilege of remaining here a few
days" Miss Goldman added. They
are spiriting us away without giving
us a chance to get fresh clothes. 1t is
such cruel actions as these that will
convince people OF the Righteousness
of our cause. We are anarchists now
and anarchists we will be when We
come out" she shouted as they were
driven away.
In addition to the severe sentence
Miss Goldman and Berkman are liable
20 be deported Berkman is not &
citizen but Miss Goldman claims citi
zenship only on her fathers applica
ton.
The jury deliberated 40 minutes anC
as they filed into the court room, &
was expected if their verdict was
against the prisoner, a demonstration
would be made by many anarchists
present. There was no disorder, how
ever. and when Judge Mayer passeC
sentence the anarchists appeared tC
be completely awed.
In sentencing the prisoners, Judge
Mayer said he regretted they had no
put their abilities to better use, since
they could have been highly inhu

Burlington, July S.--A summer trag-
edy which cost the lives of four peo-
pie occurred at $50 o'clock this af
ternoon when an 1S-foot power boat
belonging to Frank Baldwin of 60
Blodgett street, and in which party
Of Il young people was returning to
Burlington after having spent the af-
ternoon at Malletts Bay, struck a snag
and capsized in the bend of the Wi

The body of Max Hofrichter was the
only one not recovered tonight and eff
forts to find it will be renewed in the
morning
The most coherent account OF the
accident which could be gathered to-
night was that the party was return
ing to Burlington after having made
the trip to Malletts Bay without Incl
dent. In turning the bend in the Wi
noosk river just above the Hineberg
bridge the boat shruck a snag or a
floating tree and stump. Some mem
bers of the party became startled and
jumped to one side Of the boat, over
turning the craft and throwing the oc-
cupants into the water in a struggling
and terrified heap.

MEN EAGER FOR STRIFE

Washington, June l0.-"The Russian
army is going to fight. The spirit
among the troops everywhere is excel.
lent. The advance so brilliantly begun
has every chance for successful continu
alton" This was the reassuring com.
ment on the Russian military situation
made by Maj Hugh l.. Scott. chief
Of the general staff of the United
States army, on his return to Petro-
grad from 10-days tour along the
southwestern front into Rumania. Gen.
Scott described in detail and with the
greatest enthusiasm the Russian ad.
vance of June 30, which he personally
observed at close range from a point
near BrzeZany.
Few observers" said Gen. Scott,
have had Slch opportunity of view
ing the active operations of a Euro
pean army since the war began. When
we arrived at Tarnopol the Russian
artillery preparation had been in prog
ress nearly 4S hours, but we were in
time to watch the brilliant climax. We
journeyed Tarnopol to the firing line
in automobiles, and were Immediately
escorted to the trenches A tremendous
bombardment was in progress, and the
Austrian lines were being battered by
continuous torrent of shells. The
point that struck us most forcibly was
the accuracy Of the Russian fire and
the effective concealment of their bat
teries. The Austrian artillery was
good, but noticeably weaker.
The precision and exquisite work
ing of the Russian machinery was a
marvel to me. Every man was in his
place, and there was not the slightest
sign OF insubordination or reluctance
among the men. Each officer and sol.
der did eagerly and unhesitatingly
what he was told. The spirit OF the
men themselves was in favor of an
advance.

covered that these men were Austrian

speed into the Russian lines, apparent
ly with a single thought-that of sur
rendering as quickly as possible. The
Russian casualties we're comparatively
slight, as it was possible to Judge by
the small number OF ambulance wagons
which the Russians sent forward.
Gen. Scott said that the spirit ant
discipline of the Russian troops dur
ing this engagement was merely {
sample on the front. The soldiers
were ready to advance whenever
called upon and the morale of the army
in general was infinitely better than h'
had been led to believe in Petrograd
