The public school opened
Monday 18th with the following
teachers. Miss Farnham, High
School teacher and principal,
Mrs. Barzu, primary teacher.
Both were retained from last
year. Miss Maud Elkins has
charge of the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth grades. The enroll
ment Monday was thirty six
which will be increased to seven
ty five when all the pupils come
in. A number of pupils are out
now and will be till the fall work
is done up. A number of pupils
outside of the district will attend
the school during the winter. 1t
is the purpose of the teachers
and trustees to make the school
more efficient this year than ever
before. The public school is the
bulwark Of the nation. Educa-
ton reaches or should reach
every home and child in this
country. Education is the boy
that raises the people ont of ig-
norance and superstition and
makes them capable of self gov
erment. 1t Is hard to enslave
an educated people. 1t is the
policy of Kings, Emperors and
Kaisers to keep peop'a in ignor-
ance so they can rule them. The
devine right of kings is fast pass
ing away. 1t is written on the
tablets of destinany that kings
and other potentates must pass
away and make room for democ-
racy, the rule of the people. This
has been the struggle for ages.
The people trying to get out
from under the iron yoke Of

war will no doubt be decided in

has no right to govern another

royal families and divine rulers
have no place in free America.
The American soldiers under
the leadership of Foch and Per-
shing are steadily driving the
Huns back and taking many
prisoners and munitions of war
until they are near the great fort
of Metz, probably the strongest
fortified place on earth. This
fort may be surrounded and
taken before long thus breaking
the backbone of the German eff

German forces are loosing cour-

their own country. This means
the German people will suffer

ters MEch were Of great importance to the Germans. In each case he em- ployed the same methods. He flew over the point be was aiming for, stopped his engine. did nose dive to within a few hundred feet of the place, dropped his bomb and got away safely. Each time he came back with the planes of his machine riddled with bullets. It takes an awful lot of nerve to do q thing like that.
 Lieutenant Hawker was the terror of the "Avatiks" and taubes, and he has been known to fight three of these big machines single handed, destroying two and putting the other one to flight. Mir. Hawkcr longed for chance to get mixed up with a Zeppelin, and on one occasion he nearly realized his wish.
 It was a bright moonlight night last summer when everything was as quiet and peaceful as one could wish 1t to be. A scattering rife fire could be heard from the trenches. but there was reully nothing doing at all About Q or 10 o'clock we heard the hum of an engine away above US, and we thought, of course. it was an aeroplane. As It came nearer we realized that no aero plane engine could make so much noise as that, and very soon word was pass ed around that there was a Zeppelin above us.
 Very few of US had ever seen Hep- pelln, and we were more than strain ing our eyes to catch a glimpse of this one. Judging from the noise of the engine. 1t seemed as though the thing kept clrcling around over our encamp- ment: but, try as hard as We could. We were unable to catch sight of 1t. It had not been over US so very long before we heard a motor engine start up at the flying grounds, and word came around that Lieutenant Hawker was going up after 1t. Soon We saw an acroplane shoot up over the tree tops and Commc- ce 70 circle around, gaining altitude e " moment. It was quickly lost to vie though, and soon the engines of the Zeppelin could be heard no longer, so We concluded that 1t had made off. Lieutenant Hawker flew until daylight; but, much to his disappointment, he failed to find the Zeppelin.
 Another aviator who became famous was Commander Sampson of the Royal Naval Air Service. At the beginning of the war he did so much damage with his aeroplane that price was put upon his head by the German au- thorities. We heard that the sum of fl 900 was offered for Commander Sampson, dead or alive. This did not make any difference to him so far as his work was concerned, and he did just as much damage after the fact became known as he did before.
 Nor was his activity confined to air work. He had an armored car that he used to go out In, and the exciting event of the day used to be to watch Commander SampsOn's return. He seldom failed to bring back prisoners, and the damage he did to the Germans with the machine gun was fearful

ueroplane confe out, and 1t was Deau- ty. It became known as the British Scout" and 1t was in this type of ma chine that Lieutenant Hawker defeat ed three big German battle planes. It has a very high powered, high speed engine and can pull right away from any other type of machine that flies. It carries one man only, who runs the machine and works the gun too, so he has his work cut out for him.
 Before 1 ever saw bomb dropping aeroplane in action l used to imagine that the bombs were dropped by hand. was much surprised to find that such Is not the case. The bombs are hung on little clips under the body of the machine and are released by a foot pedal arrangement It Is much quick CT and less dangerous method.
 The bombs dropped from the ma chimes vary in size and weight, and they run all the way from ten pounds to one hundred pounds. Each bomb has a little propeller at the tail of it. This keeps the bomb nose down in fall ing and insures Its landing on the per cussion cap. As the bomb falls through the air this little propeller whirls at tremendous speed and makes the weird est whistling noise one could imagine.
 During the summer months a great many air raids were made on moon- light nights. The machines are prac ticaIfy invisible when they reach any great height, and they can get back home and make their landing without very great danger.
 When aeroplanes are late coming In It is very interesting to watch the rockets being sent up to guide them to their landing grounds. These rock cts are Of different colors and are sent up at regular intervals until the ma chine is either safely back or is given up for lost. When the machine Is sight ed and is circling down toward the ground big flares are lighted, so as to enable the aviator to pick his spot for landing, The whole thing is scientif-

 One of the most daring parts Of the air work is the dropping of spies be- hind the enemy's lines. l believe this goes on on both sides and in many cases Is successful. The second time I was going on leave to England had made arrangements to go with one Of our fellows from the flying corps. We were to start on a Mondey morning, and on the Friday before he told me that he was going to make his last flight before going to England on the following morning. Saturday.
 He started out at o'clock Saturday morning with a man and crate Of carrier pigeons in his machine, and he had orders to drop both behind the German lines and return to his head quarters as quickly as nOSsible, ..

WILSON URGES
SUPPORT BAIRD
President Continues Drive Of
Rounding Up Votes for
Suffrage Measure.

Washington, Aug. 2.--President Wii-
son today continued his drive to rounu
up support of the Susan b. Anthony
equal suffrage amendment in the SEN
ate. In letter to Senator David
Baird, of New Jersey, the president
urged that the junior senator from his
own state support the measure.
The president in his letter expresses
the belief that the present position OF
this country In international affairs
would be greatly strengthened by the
passage of the amendment and that
our present position as champions OF
democracy throughout the world"
would be greatly strengthened If the
senate would follow the example OF
the house Of representatives.
The letter follows:
My Dear. Senator Baird-The whole
subject of woman suffrage has been
very much in my mind of late and has
come to seem to be a part of the in
ternational situation, as well as of
capital Importance to the United
States. believe our present position
as champions of democracy through
out the world would be greatly
strengthened If the senate would fol-
low the example of the house of rep
resentatives in passing the pending
amendment. l. therefore. take the lib
erty Of writing to call tie matter to
your serious attention in this light and
to express the hope that you will
deem 1t wise and throw your influence
on the side of this great and now crit
ical reform. 81
Sincerely yours.

RESUMPTION OF DRIVE
CAME AS GREAT SURPRISE
Allied Troops Celebrated Fourth
Anniversary of War by
New Offensive.

Paris. Aug. 2.--AIied troops cele
brated the fourth anniversary of the
war by victorious resumption of the
offensive to the surprise Of great
many who had believed the battle had
entered into one of it's periodical lulls
incidentally the official statement on
the total of prisoners-m6re than 33, =
000-brings out forcibly the extra =
ordinary change in the situation a
short month has effected. Oh the first
of July the allies, to reverse Walpole's
famous phrase. were almost wringing
their hands. now they would be justi-
fed in ringing bells.
The ground won yesterday north Of
the Ourcq has considerable value. It
is long spur about six hundred feet
high forming the watershed between
the Crise and the Ourcq and is a valu-
able observation point. From 1t the
Germans prevented the allies from
seing the Crise while they overlooked
the ground won from them on the
Ourcq. The allies stormed not only the
summit but the northern slope OF this
terrain.
As a consequence they can manoever
safely in the Ourcq region. In addition
they have a view behind the great
Hartennes plateau where the enemy
still clings along ;he Soissons- Chateau
Thierry road and that strong position.
difficult of attack frontally, can now be
turned from the north through Vile
montoire and from the south by way
of hill 205.
The allies also gained en- important
advantage on the left in the capture
of Meuniere wood by the Americans
giving them position which, accord
ing to Henri Bidou is the keystone Of
the whole German line in the center.

Enemy Lines Penetrated to the
Depth of Three Miles on
Five-MiIe Front.
ENTIRE RIDGE CAPTURED
Advances Described as Ex-
tremely Important-Gous-
sancourt Taken.

London, Aug a.-Yesterday's Fran
CO. British attack on the westerly side
of the Marne salient was on front OF
five miles and penetrated to a maxi
mum depth of three miles, according
to news received today. 1t resulted in
the capture of the entire ridge which
forms the watershed between the
Ourcq and the Aisne. the advices in
dicate.
The French also captured the entire
Meuniere wood, on the line to the west
of Goussancourt, at about the center
of the salient.
The advance by the allies along the
western side of the salient is described
as extremely important-possibly the
most important thing the allies have
tired from the Marne.
The Importance of the victory, 1t Is
explained, lies in the fact that the new
allied positions command the whole
area to the northward and take in
flank and rear the entire western gate
through which the Germans have been
retiring. This area is nest of Ger
man reserves and field artillery.
"Turning Point" Reached.
Goussancourt itself has been taken
by the French, the advices add.
The capture of the important ground
on the heights to the westerly side OF
the line also means that the Germans
will not be able to retire in an ordi-
narily leisurely way. and that they
probably will have to go beyond the
River Vesle In their retreat
The situation is considered as eX-
traordinarily good, being described in
the advices as the turning point of
the summer campaign and possibly of
the whole war.
