The so-called dropping of the en-
tire faculty of the Vail school Of ag-
riculture at Lyndon, the institution
given TO the state by Theodore n.
Nall, was IN sense a summary dismiss
sal Of the men, said State Commits
sioner of Education Milo B. Hillegas
in an interview The school closed
May / in order to release for war
service the 90 young men who were
studying there, and the services of
these instructors were no longer re-
quired. Their contracts expired July
1, so that the state board of educa-
ton felt justified in releasing them,
and paying them the full salary call
ed for by their contract terms. In the
fall the school will be reopened with
increased facilities and a centralized
plant Carrying out the recommend
ations of the school board, the insti-
tuition will be placed on an income
producing basis, the home farm of
$50 acres being used for the school
work and the remainder of the 1900
acres being used for revenue-produc-
ing crops. Wallace Hubbard, who
will have charge of the work of Gull
tivating the crops and harvesting
them, will be placed in charge of the
farm crops when the Capitalization

YOUNG CANADIANS CANNOT
LEAVE
Men Between Ages of IS and Do Now
Not Allowed TO Leave Canada
Without Reasonable Cause.

Changes of a sweeping nature were
put into effect by immigration OIL
sials along the Canadian border Friday
morning. From now on no male be-
tween the ages of Is and As ordinari-
w residing in Canada, whether he be
Of Canadian citizenship or not, will be
allowed to enter the United States
without a permit, and in order TO OBJ
tain such permit the applicant must
be able to satisfy the inspector that
he has a legitimate reason for cross
ing the line.
immigration officers received their
instructions to this effect, under or
ders of secrecy May p, and the Sc
cret was so well kept that the pubic
were greatly surprised to find officers
on duty at the Canadian border Fri
day morning.
The new regulation is being put in
to effect under Sec. 6 of the Canadian
War Measures Act, its object being to
prevent any who would be liable to
military service from leaving the
country.
The officers are authorized to de-
tain any boat, train, car, vehicle or
other means of conveyance or any
pedestrian bound out of Canada, for
purposes of examination, and may
hold or turn back any whom they may
have cause to believe are attempting
to avoid service in Canada. The Of
fcers have power to arrest without
warrant, any male within the speci-
fed ages who may attempt to evade
the regulation.
The penalties fixed for such viola
ton or evasion are fine of $4,000 or
two years imprisonment or both. Of
ficers may call upon any person for
assistance and cannot be held respon-
sible for any damage which may be
caused in the performance of their
duties. The only recourse is to the
minister of the interior. Any person
aiding or advising another person in
leaving Canada in violation of the or
der shall be guilty of an offense
against the same and liable to the
same punishment as that above-men-
toned.
1t is understood that the govern
ments of the two countries are now at
work on some system of cooperation
whereby the citizens of either can
not escape liability to military service
/ by going to the other country. If
that aim be attained, there would be
much less need for such action as that
put into effect today. The manifest
/ purpose of the present regulation I'M
der the War Measures Act is to pre-
vent a general exodus from Canada
on the eve of the adoption of the
| military Service Act of 1917" as the
compulsory enlistment measure now
before parliament is known.

counts are audited by government
officials. The army and navy depart
ments are headed by regular military
officials who are expert in relief
work. Congress has recognized the
Red Cross as the only official vo1un-
teer relief organization and all other
relief societies work under or in CO.
operation with it.
There are two great departments IN
the society, the department of mill
tary relief and that of civil relief.
One is as important as the other, the
Red Cross doing as much work in CIV
il disasters as in time of war.
The department of military relief
works under the supervision of the
war department At a moments no
tice the Red Cross could put into the
field relief units to care for an army
of 100000 fighting men. The Unit
ed States is prepared for relief work
as no other nation ever has been be-
fore, entering upon war, due to the
work of this society. There are ready
for service 81 base hospitals, eachWith
500 beds a staffof SO nurses and sur
geons, and each worth $4,000. The
entire equipment for these hospitals
was made by the women of the Unit
ed States. These base hospitals are
organized efficient units with all the
facilities of permanent city hospitals.
The surgeons and nurses are men and
women of special qualifications and
are chosen with extreme care by the
Red Cross. There is no limit to the
work which these units do in war,
every available means being used to
and the soldiers and their dependent
families at home. Precautions against
plague, unsanitary conditions and
the like are taken.
The department of civil relief has
handled Sc disasters in this country
in the past ten years, spending over
$16,000,000. The San Francisco
earthquake, the Ohio flood, the East
land and Titanic disasters, and the re-
cent fire in Birmingham are examples
of work Of this kind. The Red Cross
is on the scene of trouble Immediate
ly and takes entire charge Of all re-
lief work in caring for the wounded,
providing shelter for the homeless
and aiding families destitute of
means.
Many other branches of work are
undertaken, namely the rural nursing
service, the Red Cross Christmas
seals, training class IN home hygiene
and life-saving, disease prevention
and practically every phase of re-
lief work, both curative and proven
tive.
! The local branches throughout Yer
mont and the United States are send
ing in a continuous stream of hospital
supplies for the work. The mem
bership is increasing very rapidly and
great wave of support for the or
ganization is sweeping over the whole
country.

REMEMBERED FINE OLD TUNE
Veterans in Encampment at Washing
ton Last Year Stirred Hearers
With Strains of "BIuejay."

The shrill call of the fife and the
thunder of drums rang through Camp
Emery last year as the surviving mu-
sicians of the Civil war gathered in a
circle in their quarters in the north
end of the building and played the
tunes that stirred the Union troops to
victory during the war days.
There wasn't a tune that those old
fellows didn't remember, and they
played them with the vim that urged
them along the firing line in their
lighting days. During the long inter-
vening years they have kept the drums
which they carried through the war,
