Rutland, July l0.-Walter Burke OF

His short time sentence would have been
out next August, but because of his in
discretion he will have to serve the four

Charles H. Cleveland, who was out on

Burke and he, too, found his way into
police circles. He was sent back to jail
for completion of his sentence.

A TEST OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Is the Part Which United States Is Play
ing in This War.

Portland, Ore, July l0.-The world
crisis. as it affects the United States
and the part this country is playing in
it, is test of the public school, accord
ing to Mrs. Mary c. c. Bradford, super
intendent OF public instruction of Colo.
RADIO, as expressed in an address before
the elementary section of the National
Educational association here to-day.
Taking as her subject "The Public
School and the Nation in 1917" Mrs.
Bradford declared that if the United
States carries into effect its avowed pol
icy of righteousness TO all humanity
and sacrifice for all nations it will be
because the American public school has,
in some degree at least, fulfilled the au-
gust task confded to it by the com
mands of democratic government
IF, after this great war to end wars
shall be over" she continued, America
functions as the supreme idealistic
force in the reorganization of the world,
it will be because the public schools have
given to the nation higher vision than
the world before has seen.
This is the great task of the public
school in 1917; this the mighty effort
that must be made by the school people
of to-day
Pointing out that non Americans had
declared the public school system of this
the "supremely distinctive fea-
ture" of the American development, Mrs.
Bradford declared:
"A new vision must come to the school
world of America vision that reveals
il to itself as the moulder of the soul
stuff of the nation in the likeness of
the ideal humanity
Comparing the public school to the
Casket of the Holy Grail, she added
Let us offer ourselves to the nation as
one unit in the great army of those who
stand ready TO give all at the nations
summons; let us fit ourselves for the
high emprise of keeping safe the immor-
al draught without which the national
deals must perish.

TO STIMULATE ENLISTMENT.
Navy League Man Comes to Urge Yer.

OF the Navy league, who has secured fire,

week IN awakening the people of Bur.
lingtor and vicinity to the situation. A
a result of Mr.. Ayers crussdes in other
Parts OF the country, thousands of re
eruits have been enrolled in the navy.
Mr.. Ayers is self impressed task
as he receives no remuneration for his
services. When recruiting first began he
was not satisfied with the manner in
which the advertising for recruits WAS
conducted. The old posters, etc, issued
by the government, which appealed sole
ly to the selfish interest of man, the
pleasure of travel, recompense. ETC., were
all right in times OF peace, but the eoun-
should be along lines appealing to the
patriotism of young men.
He brought his plans for obtaining the
cooperation of the big people over the
country in the cause of recruiting to the
navy department, but they replied it
could hot be done.
After persisting, he got them into line.
AS result the marlborough Rapid Tran
sit company alone gave him 100000
worth of advertising space on their lines
alone, and other New York transit lines
closely along. Other cities in
the country followed New York and to-
day, after two months work, Mr.. Alger
has advertising space filed with adver-

MAY TAKE ENGLISH BRIDES.
English Newspaper Discusses Prospects
for American Intermarriage.

Liverpool, July 10 correspondence -
Specializing editorially on whether the

English wives to any appreciable extent
The Liverpool Post says;
"Will American men marry here? We
wonder if the coming of the American

rimonial prospects of our girls. For some
reason, the men of the New World have
hitherto never shown any great eager.
ness to take brides from the Old and
even the theory that this is because it
has not been the way of the American
man to cross the Atlantic, though it is
consoling to our national vanity, does
not work For it is noticeable that the
Canadians, who have abounded in our
midst during the past three years, are
not nearly as fond of marrying into this
country as are, for example, Australians.
Few of the young men from Australia
seem to want to return home without
English brides, but the Canadians either
are married when they come or show a
disposition to remain single.
"Still, there is no need for the girls to
despair yet. and if some of them do not
spend their lives as matrons in the Unit
ed States we shall be SURPRISED. Certain
ly it will not be their fault, as they show
a most amiable desire to like any of the

ways the fellow citizens OF President
Wilson are so curiously unlike our own

The demand for the second training
camp is big and while applicants will

excess is much greater. Massachusetts
is the leading state in this respect in

GYPSUM MAKES BIG GAIN.
Production of 1916 Exceeds Former Rec.
ords.

According to figures just compiled by
the United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, 2,756,630 short
tons of crude gypsum were mined in the
United States in 1916, in comparison
with 2,447,6l tons mined in 1915. This
gain of more than 100000 tons may be
largely ascribed to the effests of the
European war, which has increased bust
ness in general, thus causing larger build
ing operations and greater demand for
structural material. Gypsum wall plas-
ter, partition tile, and plaster board are
playing an increasing part in modern
building construction, and the industry
is enjoying large orders.
The total value of crude and calcined
gypsum marketed in 1915 was 81 ,o52 ,432,
as compared with s6,596s93 in 1915.
This is the first time that the value of
the output has exceeded s7,O00,O00. In
1915, as in former years. New York was
the largest producer of raw gypsum,
Iowa ranked second, and Michigan third.

DRAFT ARMY GOES IN SPRING.
Will Embark on Transports as the Win
ter is Breaking.

Washington, July l0.-The first ma
tional army of half million men, soor
to be raised by CONSUMPTION, will begin
leaving this country for European bat,
tlefields early next spring. High wal
department officials said yesterday that
at least eight months would elspse from
the time they are placed on transports.
These officers believe that the actual
fighting divisions of the draft army will
begin leaving their cantonments for ports
of embarkment about the first of April.
The engineering sections may go a lit
tie earlier The great majority of the
first half million men, however, will be
subject to intensive training at the
camps in this country from September
until April, according to the present
plans of the general staff.
The men will be kept in the canton
ments in this country for eight months,
not because the general staff believes
that is the length of time needed to train
the men, but because ships will not be
ready to transport the men before next
spring. Army officers declare that all
vessels viii be kept busy until April in
transporting the balance of the regular
army and the National Guard and their
ammunition and supplies. That the ma
iorty of the National Guard organiza-
ton will be sent to France before the
transportation of the national army be-
gins may be taken for granted. No
decision has been reached as to whether
the National Guard and the national
army will be given training in France
before they are put On the firing line.
This decision will depend entirely on de-
yelopments. If their services are not i'm
peratively needed, the men will be given
final training before going into the
trenches; il there is a shortage of men,
our soldiers will be rushed from the ships
to the front.
Transportation is one of the great
problems faced by the war department
to-day. Admittedly there is shortage
of ships and allowances must be given
to the activity of enemy submarines. Ev-
cry available ship could be used solely |
for transporting soldiers, but many of
these vessels will be needed to transport |!
supplies and ammunition, which must |
flow constantly from the United States |
to France. Some talk is heard in Wash |
ington of utilizing Japanese vessels now
engaged in Pacific trade. There is little |
likelihood however, of this being done,
as all these merchantmen are needed
to Keep Russia supplied Japan is man
ufacturing much of the ammunition now
being made by the new republic.
