WANTS PLACE FOR HEROES
Should Be Reverenced in School,
Says Prof. Hartman

"Thc Teachers Part in the World
War, was discussed by Prof. A. S.
Hartman, principal of the Mjddlehury
High School as President Of the Vermont
State Teachers Association at its an
nual convention in st. Adams yester-
day when he said, "scrvicc to home,
to school and to the public must hc set
as the great goal before the eyes of the
youth of our country. =
"Thc quality of American citizenship
for the next fifty years is to he deter.
mined largely by the teachers of the
present time" he continued. Gas the
the effort of the home is, and must be,
more especially directed toward fitting
the Young for the economic contest which
they must inevitably meet 1t is for the
school to see to it that thc high ideals Of
Democracy are implanted in the hearts
of the coming generation, and that the
welfare of the country shall still come
first with the men and women of to-
morrow.
"While the present war continues, the
school must assist the nation by giving
its pupils every possible chance to help.
He mentioned physical training, military
training, encouragement in agriculture,
the preservation and conservation of
food, and general thrift as ways in
patriotism could he promoted in the
schools. 1t was also teacher s privi-
lege to give her pupils a clear under
standing of the present war, and in this
respect the teacher should fully cnlighten
herself. Lastly, she should implant in
the minds of her pupils the highest ideals
of reverence Of country and flag.
"The roll of our heroes, said Mr..
Hartman - long already, and soon to
plunge our country into bitter grief by
its rapidly increasing length, should he
conncd again and again until their
names and achievements become n per-
mancnt possession Of our citizenship.
The names of the nation s leaders should
be invested with reverence in the eyes of
our boys and girls Love of country
must be planted deep in their hearts
Tn thc school, above all other, places,
should the youth learn to place the true
valuation ON home and country, and to
count the sacrifice of possessions and
even of life well made, if through that
sacrifice, honor and existence of the ma.
tiOn may be made secure"

MIDI. MOURNS LOSS
OF A NORWICH GAME
But Still Hopes to Redeem Herself
Next Week
II Tie Results, a Play'oH May Be
STAGED In Burllnaton

A party of 100 or more Norwich Uni
yersity cadets came to Mddebury last
Saturday afternoon, marched around
the town in their q, d, overcoats, max
ing very stirring military show, which
was appauded 10y our toWnspeople, and
after witnessing a football game on
Porter Field they took an evening train
back to Mortified, agreeing that "a
pleasant time was had by all w
The autumn landscape was glorious,
they admitted, and the Freshman P-rade
that was staged for their benefit was
very amusing, but what seemed to
please them and please them the most
was the prospect from the bieachers on
Porter Field where they cheered their
comrades to victory In grldlron battle
over Old Midd for the first time in two
years,
The score was 7 to o. While figures
cannot lie, perhaps, they seldom tell
the whole truth about football game
and the fact is that Midi was fortunate
TO escape without more humiliation for
she was outplayed 10y her old rival
throughout the game MIDI did play
gamely, though, Time and again she
rallied, but never tailed and Norwich
never had her goal seriously threatened
except in the last few minutes of play,
Sol Aines, right end, of the MIDI
eleven has doubtless been trying to set
to music some ditty entitled "lf the
whistle hadn't blown, for if it hadn't,
he might have tied the score. Norwich
had punted, and Bolivar had blocked
the effort. Aines, who saw the bali
roll toward the Norwich line, made a
great attempt to get it and carry it
over, but just as he fell on it the that
ominous whistle blew and the game was
over,
The cadets played military football.
They did the right oblique, the left OBJ
lique, and scattered on signal to posi-
tons on the skirmish line, and il was
catching MIDI thus unawares at the
outset of the game that they carried the
ball across for their only score.
The game opened with Norwich kick
ing off to Anes who brought the ball
back about 10 yards. In the first play
Red" Breen received serious kick in
the head which forced him to retire
from the game. After three vain at
tempts to break through the Norwich
line Parker punted to the as yard line.
After the first formation of the Nor
witch eleven, Middlebury realized that
she was up against different team
than that which Fordham University
bad beaten the week before 600. BY
using straight football the cadets car
ried the ball over for touchdown.
Boewe kicked the goal. An exchange
of punts mixed with numerous fumbles
by both ended the first half with the
score 10 against the Blue and White.
Brainy Bower who had been sitting
on the side lines all during the first half
went into the game at the b ginning Of
the second half and Middleburys pros
poets looked brighter. The Norwich

The great consolation is that while
there is still another game scheduled
there is hope, and MIDI will descend on
Mortified next week Saturday for an
other game with the cadets. Better
acquainted with her enemy's tactics,
more seasoned as she will be after play
ing Stevens at Hoboken tomorrow, she
should stand a good chance of evening
things up. If this is the case an effort
will be made by Manager Kenneth Cor
ham to arrange a play-off of the tie for
the state championship in Burlington
on November "a.

men did not seem to mind the entrance
of the Middebury captain into the
game but instead put on trlha more
speed Middlebury had chance to
even up matters when Bower made
first down on a play through tackle,
only to lose the ball in the next play on
tumble. Norwich looked as if they
were going to cross the goal line again
when Boewe carried the ball around
right end for 10 yards and BiXby took
it through for more. The Blue and
White line stiffened, however and Nor
witch was forced to punt From then on
the game was replete with punts and
fumbles, the only excitement coming
when Bolivar broke through and block
ed a punt and Aines started after the
ball with a clear field ahead but just as
he got his hands on the ball and the
MIDI stands were yelling frantically for
him to tie the score the whistle blew
and MIDI had to taste defeat,
For the Norwich eleven the playing
of Boewe at full back was feature
while Myrick, Drake and Mead played
the best game for the Blue and White
eleven.

patriotic Sunday" Celebration
Will Be Held in Robinson Park

The interest in Patriotic Sunday" is shown to be so
great in Albuquerque that the committee in charge of the
meeting has decided that it be held Robinson park
at o'clock in the afternoon instead of at the high school
auditorium first announced
The program, completed, follows:
Neill b. Field presiding, will make opening address
following an invocation by Father Mandalari.
Hon. E. G. Champion, of Raton will speak on America
in the War;"
Major E. P. Bujac will make appeal for volunteers
for the New Mexico national guard.
Probably the most unique feature of the exercises will
be community singing of patriotic airs, under the drec
ton of Mrs E. L. Bradford
There will also be music by the band
While it is not expected that the patriotic Sunday"
services in the park will be largely attended will be
the Fourth of July celebration, it is known that lit
orally thousands of Albuquerque people will be present
Sunday afternoon to show their interest in the launching
of campaign for recruiting the New Mexico national
guard to its full strength
To make the occasion of than usual attrac
tiveness, the committee has spared effort expense
Governor Lindsey invited, but cannot get back
from Amarillo where he went to address the Ozark trails
meeting, and Charles Springer also invited but had
a previous engagement which could not be broken.
There not three better speakers in the state than
Ne B. Field E. c. Champion, who makes the trip from
Ration for the sole purpose of making twenty minute
speech, and Major Bujac, who has had splendid
perence the state in securing recruits for the New
Mexico national guard
The music will be good the state can furnish,
both instrumental and vocal.

COAL BAR0NS NOT
To Be ALLOWED To
ADVANCE PRICES
Local Dealer May Make Twen-
ty-five Cents a Ton Profit and
Not One Penny More, Uncle
Sam Says,


Washington, June 29.--Coal price
reductions agreed on yesterday by the
country's bituminous producers at a
conference with government officials
will be strictly enforced.
With the weight of the industry's s
approval behind the agreement and
certair of the fact the government
will take control if it is not lived up
to, the coal committee of the council
of national defense will take quick
measures to prevent any wavering.
Today the committee warned oper-
ators at Decatur, Ill.,, who raised their
prices beyond the limit set that the
industry would not stand for their ac-
tion.
The coal committee has given each
of its twenty-siX members supervision
of one coal production district and
every man will be held responsible
for prices in his territory. The fed
eral trade commission will be called
on for aid If difficulties arise.
The price of anthracite, arranged
some time ago at conferences between
producers and the trade commission,
probably will be further reduced to
consumers, it was said today, through
regulation of jobbers and retailers
profits.
Bituminous coal jobbers will not be
allowed to raise coal prices beyond
the mine price, with the addition of
the freight and their profit of %
cents a ton. If consumer has diff
ficulty in getting coal and he finds
he can get it only by paying some
jobber more than 25 cents a ton profit
the committee can be appealed to and
will see that he gets coal direct from
the mine at the mine price.
The senate interstate commerce
committee continued its hearings to-
day on legislation giving the govern
ment power to take over coal mines.
National prohibition. ]. D. A. Marrow
of the Pittsburgh Coal Producers as
sociation told the committee. would
increase production and go far to-
wards relieving the present shortage.

KILLED BY BANDIT

El Paso, Tex, June 29.--Mexican
papers published here and in Chihua-
hua City today printed stories under
Mexico City date lines telling of the
reported death of Eufemio Zapata,

macho, who shot him three times in
the head after Zapata had attacked
Comacho's command when they Of
fered to surrender TO him. "El Paso
del Norte," semi-offical Carranza

tsv MORNING JOURNAL sr.e,.l LrA.rp WIRE,

Chicago, June 29.--The private
banking firm of Graham and Son, the
deposits of which have been estimat-
ed at from $3,000,00O to $4,000, 900
and which held an important place
in financial and industrial affairs of
the west side, closed its doors today.
An involuntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed an hour later and fifteen de-
tectives directed by an assistant
states attorney, broke down the rear
doors of the bank with crowbars and
seized all the banks records.
Federal Judge Carpenter appoint
ed the Chicago Title and Trust COM.
pany receiver, and William C. Nj
black, vice president of the company,
took charge of the bank tonight.
The preliminary examination by
counsel for the creditors in the fed
eral court indicated that the bank
would be able to pay its obligations
in full. From what we have been
able to learn, the liabilities are prob
ably $5,000,000, and the assets close
to $6,000,0O0," the attorneys said.

DUMA REFUSES TO BE
OUSTED FROM POWER

Petrograd, June 29.-The Russian
duma will not abide by the recent res
olution of the congress of soldiers and
workmen's council calling for its dis
solution, says a resolution at a private
meeting of members of the duma.
The duma," says the resolution,
"having powerfully contributed to the
abdication of Nicholas and the forma-
ton of the provisional revolutionary
government which the entire coun-
try Immediately recognized, thus
showing its confidence in the duma:
and having in this manner acted as a
revolutionary institution independent
ly of its position during the old
regime, the duma Is of the opinion
that 1t cannot cease to exist as an or
ganization Of national reputation and
will adhere to its patriotic duty of
raising its voice, if necessary, to pre-
serve the fatherland from the dangers
which threaten it and guide it in the
right path"

Washington, June 29.--A Russian
republic was forecast today by mem
bers of the Russian mission in DIS
cussing problems facing that country.
The constituent assembly which is ex-
pected to open September 80, will
have in its hands the building Of the
whole new political structure of Rus
sia. When the new assembly meets
the provisional government will pass
out of existence and the executive
power of the nation during the con-
vention probably will be delegated to
either the government revived or to a
special committee. The assembly will
decide finally on the form of govern
ment, both federal and local, with
tho fundamental laws, the rights OF
citizens and of nationalities, and the
methods of taxation and election.
1t is expected also to discuss fully
the land question so as to destroy the
abuse of large holdings by apportion-
ing the land more equitably among
those who till it, to arrange a new
system of taxation with proportion
ally heavy taxes on the rich and lift
ing the enormous taxes from the poor,
and act on general social relations be-
tween labor, capital, agriculture and
the like.
The assembly will consist of not
more than 500 members chosen on
universal, direct, secret, equal suf-
frage, including women, as outlined
recently by Prince Lvoff, head of the
provisional government. Russia, of
course, will be divided into election
districts each entitled to SO many rep
resentatives according to population.
The army probably will vote as a
class as 1t would be obviously impos-
sible to segregate its various mem
bers by political belief or residence

7Orpedoed; Loss of
Life Not KnOUR
tsY .oRr,so JOURNAL srso,Al LEASED w,ssl

Boston, Mass, June 29.-The tor
pedoing and sinking of four large
British cargo carrying steamers was
announced in advices to local insur-
ance offices today. The steamers were
the Ultonia of the Cunard line, 6,69S
tons; Hlverford of the American line
7,4s3 tons; Buffalo, Wilson liner
2,5SS tons, and the Manistee, another
Cunard vessel. No details of the
losses were given and no mention was
made of the fate of the crews.
1t was believed by steamship agents
here that some or all of the steam
ships may have been included in the
list of sinkings announced from Lon
don Wednesday night.
The Ultonia and Manstee, il was
said, were bound with Cargoes of
grain and other food supplies from
New York for English ports and the
Buffalo was returning from Hull for
New York. The Haverford had been
engaged in the Philadelphia-Liye
pool service. but there was no mfor-
nation at hand tonight to show where
she was bound when torpedoed,
