Strange stories Of the depredations
Of balloons in the county districts are
told in the annual report of the de-

raided a farm in Robertson, rode the
donkeys in the back yard and no ef-

UP TO AMERICA TO WIN WAR
Collapse of Russia Places the Burden
of Eliminating the Hun on Shout
ders of the Yanks.

Daily it grows more certain that the
world war is to be fought till one side
or the other is PROSTATE The war
would have been over months ago If
Russia had not collapsed; but with
treason in the cars cabinet and lun-
acy and stupidity pervading the Rus
STA prOletariat, that mighty empire OF
the north became an inert and impe-
tent mass at the mercy of Germany.
And as for Russia. her fate will be
determined by the world congress thar
will write the peace when the war is
over. 1t will be about the mightiest
job human statecraft ever undertook
and an impossible job unless Germany
or the entente is then as helpless as
Russia is now.
With the western front reinforced
by the millions of veterans Germany
had in Russia, the German people have
become as confident of victory as they
were when the first gun was fired. AT
this moment Germany, rulers and peo-
pie alike, feel assured as to the out
come. There is a determination to
annex all of Belgium, all of France
now held by the German armies and
all of the possessions of Belgium and
France in Africa. Discussion Is now
going on in the German press as to
the amount of the money indemnity
the enemy shall pay. Already Russia
is carved by the German sword. And
If Germany shall succeed in her pres
ent intentions she will be as complete
mistress of the world as it now is
known as the Rome of Julius Caesar
was mistress of the world as 1t was
known on the eve of the Christian era.

NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY

Helena.-More than 1,50O Montan'
children are growing up in compiet'
ignorance of reading, writing and arith
metic, and in the opinion of Miss Ma.
Trumper, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, the conditions respon
sible for this situation can only b'
successfully overcome by law author
| izing state aid.
The attention of Miss Trunper was
recently called to the case OF 10
year-old Teton county girl who did
not even know the alphabet. She was
as devoid of formal education as an
unbranded colt, and it was not her
fault.
The illiterate children in this state
are found in the rural regions, usually
in school districts remote from the
railroads.
Some districts embrace many square
miles and already support one or more
schools and are unable to establish
schools to serve communities which
are too distant from existing schools
for the children to attend. Some dis
trfcts have sufficient assessed proper
ty to be able to open the needed
schools but the trustees refuse to per-
nit this to be done. Sometimes 10 TO
80 children will live seven to ten
miles from a school, but the parents
are too poor to furnish them with
horses to make the "trip, and in some
cases, they cannot spare the time to
take the younger children back and
forth.
Some districts are too poor to ex-
tend their school facilities. They OBJ
tain no share of the railroad valuation
and much of the land has not been
patented which still further reduces
the assessed valuation.
Then there are districts that have
settlements of a temporary character
and the trustees do not feel justified
in building a permanent school house.
Miss Trumper is opposed to such in
vestments, but she believes arrange
ments should be made for teacher
to hold school at private home or
else that. knock-dOwn school houses
should be provided that could be moved
away when the settlement disappeared.
Her office has the names and ages
of S7S children of school age that are
being denied the opportunity for. even |
a rudirSentary education, and investi- |
cations indicate there are at a mini |
mum, 1900 children in the state SINH
arly affected.

Teachers, Pension Law Valid.

Validity of the teachers pension law
enacted by the state legislature in 1915,
was upheld by the supreme court in a
decision by Associate Justice Sidney

the state enrolled and there is 1900
in the pension fund at the present
time. School district 80 of Mussel-

against Superintendent Trumper. State
