GETS $4,000 THIS YEAR.
State VIII Receive $4,000 In 1920 from,
Smith. Hughes Fund.

Montpelier. Nov. 21.-H. B. Smith and
r. w. Hem, agents for the educational
department Of the federal government
in the eastern region, arrived to-day
for q conference with NJ. B. Hillegas

Hughes fund in Vermont The State
gets $4,000 this year and will in 1920
receive $4,000 from the same fund to
be used in the extension Of agricultural
pursuits In the State.
Two men will look over the Vail
school at Lyndon and the cooperative
schools at Springfield. arrangements of
which are made so that after one year
in that school the young men are able
to pay their expenses the next three
years by working in factory near at
hand Because of the fact that YER
mont, has but few communities in
which there are large schools and large
industrial pursuits 1t is hard for the
department to secure conditions so that
the students can be employed as they
are at Springfield, so this year n nor
tion of the federal money is to be used
in the training of Industrial teachers.
1t has been found there are plenty OF
machinists in the State who have the
knowledge for the work. but need the
training for eaching. and feel unable tn
pay their expenses while preparing. SO
that portion of the money will he
used In that purpose.

amenable to the writ of attachment.

the Romanoff dynasty, is to be placed
upon the market Immediately and dis
tributed to the retailers through the
American re7ners' committee.

NO ARTILLERY PRELUDE.
The British drive was begun without
the usual artillery prelude, and as the
tanks and infantrymen made their way
through the wire entanglements and
pressed into the German first positions
the surprised enemy began sending up
myriads of signal rockets calling for
assistance. Whether aid was rushed
up is not definitely known. but SEEM
ingly the surprised Germans fled in dis
order, leaving all kinds of equipment
behind. and in most cases did not even
take time, as is usual. to apply the torch
to villages they evacuated.
The British casualties are described as
extremely light. while German dead COW

London, Nov. 21.-Seventeen British

weekly statement issued by the admiralty.
OF these ten were vessels of 1900 tons

men sunk greatly exceeds that of the
previous week, when only one vessel of
1,G00 tons or over and five craft Of less
tonnage were sent to the bottom In
fact 1t represents in the aggregate the
greatest number of vessels destroyed
since the week of October 2S, when Is
were lost. Since there had been a grad
ual falling off in shipping losses until
the minimum since Germany's intensified
submarine campaign began was reached
November II. with a total of six.
AS far as the losses of large vessels are
concerned, however, the present admiralty
report apparently bears ont the optimistic
statement made recently by Premier
Lloyd George that he had no further feal

last week were the lowest since March

Novmber 4 and November II, when In tn,
two former weeks the total In each in

Premier Lloyd George in his address tt
the House of Commons early in the presen
week said that five submarines had beer

Eric Geddes, the new first lord of the ad
miralty, in his maiden speech befor,
Parliament asserted that between fort,

operating in the North sea and the Arcti,

of the war had been sunk. He added tina
enemy submarines were being sunk to al
increasing extent, but that the Germans
were building them faster than they pre-
viously had done.

GREAT VICTORY
THRILLS BRITAIN
Heralded as FOrerunner of Still.
Bigger Things-Gen.
Byng Hero.

London, Nov 21.-In one OF his longest
communiques Field Marshal Sir Douglas
HaiR. commander of the British troops in
France, thrilled the British nation to-day
with news of perhaps the most striking
victory yet achieved on the western front.
and certainly. owing to the aovel phases
of the British attack, a victory reviving
hope at a gloomy period of the war.
THE Hindenburg line smashed" was the
giant caption in the evening papers and
apparently focuses the point engaging
public interest and attention and although
there was no bell ringing or sign of public
jubilation, wherever mon gathered together
there was acclamation of the brilliant
achievement OF Field Marshal Haig and
General Byng and discussion of the sur
prising features Of the attack first it's
secrecy and surprise to the enemy; second.
astonishment at the number and the novel
employment of tanks: third the absence
Of artillery preparation and the cus-
tomary barrage fire to assist the infantry
advance. and fourth there were many
guesses why the tremendous German de-
fensive organizations In the attacked area,
In the words of one comp,entator, melted
away" before the British onset.
Everywhere the victory was heralded
as the forerunner of still bigger things.
and the question What next?" is on
everybody's lips. General Byng is the
hero of the hour-the honor of planning
and carrying out the unique stroke be-
longs to him-and his picture and a sketch
of his career appear in all the papers.
The Hindenburg or Siegfried line.
which was thus preached, was believed
by the Germans to be strong enough to
hold back the world armies. Its triple
