School reform is to take place now and already a start has been made in some large cities. Leading authori- ties on the question say that much taught scholars now from 6 to 19 years of age is a failure. In face of the expediture for education the coun- try over, such information is not of the encouraging type. However a board is to make an experiment and see just where the difficulty rests. = Middletown Press

While in England, Miss Hayes was
in the zone Of I'VE air raids by the

Very Little Damage.
The raids were over London and
the aircraft was mile or more above
were twenty-eight airships, each with
crew of two or three men. Bombs
were dropped and some damage re-
suited, but nothing of very serious
nature. 1t would be disappointment
to the Germans If they knew how lit

on the return trip Miss Hayes only
trouble was to learn the time and
place of sailing. She did not know
the name of the vessel until she went
aboard, and learned the route only
after being for several hours at sea.

and a small feet of torpedo boats. One
of the speedy destroyers zigZagged
ahead and one accompanied us on eth

shot was filed at what was thought to
be a submarine periscope, and every
one on board was routed out at 1880
in the morning. We were kept all the
morning with our life preservers on.
That was the only excitement on the
trip across and the six women pas
sengers had the time of their lives.
Our vessel was equipped with four
guns and the crew of thirty-two men

McPhee and Mrs. Agnes Satire,
charged with adultery, was dismiss
ed in Judge Miller's court this morn
ing at the request Of the state.

would not be necessary to secure a
divorce.
The motion for dismissal was made
by the state following instructions
from Chris Satire, the complaining

Americans who were accompanied by
their sweethearts. -
One instance cited is that of two
Americans who were attacked on the
chief street OF Cork, a young woman
with them being insulted and having
her hat torn off. The correspondent
reports that the sailors did nothing
improper or contrary to good taste
TO invite the attack and as far as
could be learned, did not retaliate.
They escaped on a tram car.
( Several parties paraded the streets
singing Sim Fein songs and per-
forming military evOlutions. Some
windows were broken.
One party raided the premises Of
an officers training corps and stole
Sc rifles, thirty revolvers and num-
Der of swords. none Of which had been
recovered, the correspondent says at
the time of writing his dispatch nor
had any arrests been made.

ia. in which he declared their atti-
tude is strongly in opposition to the
governments plan for the vigorous
prosecution Of the war, was loudly
cheered.
Mr.. Bangs also affirmed, during the

to all persons to be right in this war,
and his statement that certain state
officers will have to get in line with
the rest of us" brought enthusiastic
applause.

ing to attain a membership equal to

20 ADOPTED BY
UNCLE sam AS
CITIZENS TODAY

Twenty men walked out of the
Cass county district courtroom late
this afternoon with the spirit that
moves the United States to victory.
1t was one of the proudest, if not the
proudest moments Of their life, for
they had been adopted as citizens of
the United States.
Four were refused by the federal
statute which prevents Germans from
being accepted as citizens when a
state Of war exists between two
countries. Three Austrians were per-
mitted because the United States had
never declared war on that country.
The naturalization hearings open
ed the fall term of district court for
the third judicial district. Late this
afternoon adjournment was taken for
a period of ten days during which
time Judge A. T. Cole will take his
vacation which will be spent at points
iE southern Minnesota and in the
state of Wisconsin.
Mrs. Robert NJ. Pollock gave the
history Of the American flag and
stated that The Star Spangled Ban
Eer' was not only a poem but the
actual account of what the writer
saw at Fort Henry during the bonn
bardment. She told of the many diff
ferent insignia during the colonial
times and how in the revolutionary
war a regiment went forth with the
many Colors. Then came to the step
of the making of the American flag
by Betsy Ross and how President
George Washington had suggested
that the stars be of six instead Of
five points whereupon the woman
disagreed saying that a viewpoint
star was prettier than a six. She
explained the significance Of the stars
and stripes Of heaven.
She declared that naturalization
gave man one of the greatest weap-
Ons and that was the ballot which
she said should be an obligation.
Let us have wave Of ballots and
not bullets to bring this war to an
end, said Mrs. Pollock. But we
have to have this shower Of bullets,
but let us hope never again..
Judge Cole warned the subjects
that If there was any doubt in any
Of their minds not to ask to be adopt
ed as citizens of the United States.
Judge Engerud addressed the natur-
allied citizens after the bath had
been administered this afternoon.
The following were adopted as citi-
zens of the United States: Sam Pol

den; William Reginald Irion, Nor
