the danger of the suspension of ed

the duration which its magnitude
threatened, France more than ever
would need high standard of educa-

The school authorities were as
prompt as the military authorities in
this dilemma, and by super-human
effort managed that there should be
no interruption tothe educational sys-

In one of the cities near the front,
where every building of any size was

city all day long, from class to class.
The Inconvenience and uncertainty
of attendance in such out of the way
spots was the big bug-bear, however,
for French children, like any other
children, had been known to play
"hooky."
An appeal to the children them
selves was all that was necessary,
an appeal to duty, to loyalty, TO
patriotism. Every childish breast
sweiIed Immediately in response
to that call, and the attendance
was not only all that it had been
but better! They came every
day, these children, with no tard-
mess and no absentees; for, no -

WATER SYSTEM
FOR NEWPORT

Newport, Me. June 13.-Much in
terest among the citizen of Newport
centers at the present time around
the fact that the town will within
the coming months have to it's credit
one of the best water systems to be
found in Eastern Maine, work hav-
ing already commenced with this eff
fort in view, and is in accordance
with the decision rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission that the
Newport Water Co. improve the sys-
tenn. The company is installing q
concrete dam for the purpose of
keeping back the surface water
which finds it's way to the reservoir.
The water thus held n check will be
adequately taken care of by a large
pipe extending under the reservoir.
Before the operations are finally
completed the reservoir will be thor
oughly. scraped, and with this work
successfully attended to and the
pipes of the system flushed, it is con-
fidently expected that the sp1-if-
cations Of the Public Utilities Com
mission will have been mosa salts
factorily carried out, leaving no rea
son for complaint.

RAILROAD Rates and Trade"

A stream of protests is being
filed at Washington against the new
railroad rates. 1t is complained that
they seem to have been formulated
on hit-or- miss plan, with the re-
suit that shippers are in serious
doubt as to the situation, but have no
doubt as to the adverse effect on
business in general. One particular
point that is emphasized is the aboli-
ton of the preference rate on goods
intended for export. In this time of
crisis and in preparation for the ex-
port activities of the country after
the war, nothing should be done
which would hamper in any way the
exporting ability of the nation.
The abolition of the preference rate
means increase in price of goods and
the consequent elimination of COM
petitive power. When high railroad
rates are imposed, in addition to the
high water charges, it will not be
possible for the exporter to sell his
goods at the same price he has re-
ceived heretofore, and in consequence
his ability to compete will be de-
creased. There are many other fac
tors in the rate situation as to which
complaint is being entered at Wash
ngton.-Philadelph Press.
Had our exchange remembered
that this is a free" trade admins
tration.

If not true, from all you can learn,
that the German offensive, particu-
larlv in the last three months, has
been prodigal with men: while the
allies have economical their man
power? If you ask yourself why, you
must answer that it is because the
allies could wait and indulge in de-
fensive action, while the Germans
cannot, for the Americans are COM
ing.
In our belief Gen. Foch has re-
vealed his strategy for the purpose OF
giving heart to the allied nations. He
has said, so that all may understand,
that only an offensive can win, at the
same time he is fighting a prolonged
defensive campaign. Our hopes are
based accordingly. We pin our faith
on the integrity of allied claims OF
strength and Gen. t'och's wisdom in
using that strength.
We look upon Germany in this
hour as we look upon a Dragging
bully who has been forced to his ut
most to make good or forever hold
his peace. This bully is in for an
everlasting thrashing and he knows
it. and we believe it is the wrong
time to worry.
If Gen. Foch can hold the enemy
without using his reserves until such
reserves can be reinforced from
America into an irresistible army,
then there will be no question as to
the result-for every hour the Ger
man power of resistance is growing

for me. This is some big game they are
playing over here and believe me, the
Yanks are the boys that can play 1t, too.
If l could write as l would like to l
could tell you a whole lot and could
write all day. ! got a letter from Roy
Tracy saying he had joined the Avia-
