Dear Sir:
There is a movement on foot in
some of the counties in Maryland to
close the public schools this year on
May LIST, so that the farmers chill
dren, and all others that are avail
able, can be used on the farms to
help supply the serious labor short
age. DO you Lot think this would
be a good thing for Dorchester coun-
ty? All the teachers with whom |
have talked are of that opinion.
Ninety per cent. of the students at
tending this school are from the
farm, ard l venture to say that with
the exception Of Cambridge, all the
schools in the county will average
eighty per cent.
Our President says that the farm
ers will win the war if they produce
in accordance with requirements of
the Government. We know that
they are willing and anxious to COM
ply with every request for more food,
but the question OF help is a serious
one Boys from the farms are being
drafted into service, as is the farm
labor, both white and colored. There
is a call for labor to fill the places Of
those who have joined the colors, but
one hears on all sides complaints
from farmers that help is scarce and
hard to get One sixteen year old
boy from the farm is worth two la
borers who have no experience,
therefore, the boys will undoubtedly
be withdrawn from school about May
OF u-hN crjy
chance to take their final examina-
tions> at that time, which can only
be done by closing the schools May
the first?
Mr.. Herbert Quick says: Our
contribution is, first, our sons and
brothers for the trenches; second, the
last pound of food products which we
can grow by mobilizing our scanty
labor supply, utilizing the men, wo-
men, children. and toWnspeople
about us; and third, money for Lib
erty Bonds" What is this, then, but
should be needed?
You, as an editor, are fully cogni
zant of these facts upon which l
please use the columns Of your pa
pefS LOT Il cause w ulcu Is pIlIld Id
cia a worthy one?
The county school tecahers are
bowling for a bonus-county ofIici-
ais say there are no funds available
for this purpose-Why not close the
schools one month earlier and utilize
the salary saved thereby as a bonus?
This will not only prove popular
with the teachers, but will release a
great thrOng of youngsters to be
come an army of farm workers, and
help to produce that extra amount of
foodstuffs that is to help bring this
horrible war to satisfactory conclu-
sion. Respectfully submitted,
G. H. ROCK,
Vice-Prin. Vienna High School.
Now that the German, Austrian,
Italian and French frontiers have
been sealed, Switzerland may be con-
sidered as hermetically sealed.

Abstinence From Wheat


The war has been sold to the
American people, The German
drive and the thought of our own
boys in the thick of the fight have
accomplished that. From all over
the country are now coming reports
of pledges of total abstinence from
wheat. Total abstainers' clubs star
ted in Mount Gilead, Morrow county,
Ohio The movement now covers
the Nation. The same spirit is
shown as that reflected in the Bible
words, IF meat cause my brother to
offend, I will eat no meat while the
world standeth." Patriotic Ameri-
cans are now saying IF wheat is
necessary to perpetuate all | hold
dear, I will eat no wheat until these
things are secured and guaranteed"

Lys Front Holding

Field Marshal Haig reports his
line on the Lys battle front standing
intact Wednesday night as it existed
following the British retirement east
of Ypres, no ground having been lost
in the battling of Wednesday, de-
spite the heavy German attacks thru
the entire period.
Checked for the time, at least, in
front of the strong British positions
dominated by KENNEL Hill, on the
northern portion of this front, the
Germans are turning their attention
to the southwesterly sector of the
battlefield.
A heavy bombardment of the Brit
ish positions between LOGON and
Robecq was reported in progress. The
enemy is finding himself cramped on
the southerly side of the wedge he
has pushed into the British lines and
seems on the eve of an effort to wi
den it here.
Furthermore, at LOGON, the Ger
mans are only some three miles north
of Bethune, an important railway
centre, and at Robecq are within six
miles of Lillers, junction point on
the railway from Bethune to Haze
brouck.
The British have been holding this
sector of the front as strongly as
they are the northwesterly edge of
the salient, where they have held up
the German attempt to advance fur
ther toward Hazebrouck, as. was ind1-
Gated anew in the repulse of fresh
German attacks last night in the
Merris sector, along the Bailleul-
Hazebrouck railway. 1t seems not
unlikely that the entente high COM
mand has forecast a possible larger
German purpose to drive determined
ly Southward, envelop Bethune and
push on to a point where they can
compel the British to fall back from
Givenchy and the region north OF
ArrAs, where the dominating Nimy
Ridge is the German objective.
1Sether, indeed, this be the larg-
acn strategy as--not yet neei,
siiJ a. The development o fthe enc
my demonstration on the Loc6h-
Robecq line, however, will be follow
ed, in view of this possibility and its
bearing upon the great struggle on
the Somme front to the south, where
the firm hold of the British on the
Arras region and the line south to
Albert has held up the enemy push
on Amiens
