PRACTICAL EDUCATION

A short time ago we opened our public
schools for the coming year. The hopes
and fears Of individual families, the
prosperity of adversely, safety or peril Of
our community and the republic, depend
upon the kind of work done in those
schools
!, The close Of the war will bring this ma
ton to face wholly new problems. We
have heavy burdens of living costs and
taxation to carry. The schools must get
down to the realities of life.
The Republican has secured series of
articles which it believes will interest ev-
cry family that has child in school, or
which has an interest in seeing our COM
immunity prosper and the United States
meet the ominous problems Of the future.
Our contributor, after thoughtful study
and some experience in school work, will
give ideas which we know have value, as
to how these schools can meet the exist
ing situation. Subscribe for The Repub-
ican for the six weeks beginning about
October 10 when this series will run.

MANsLAuGHTER CHARGED
Against George Greenslit and Bail Was
Fixed at 5000.

George Greenslit Of Warren, who has
been in the Washington county jail since
his arrest three weeks ago, appeared in
Washington cohnty court yesterday aft
ernoon, papers having been served on him
in the Jail charging him with manslaugh-
ter by killing Oscar O, Heath of Warren.
This is the result of an indictment found
by the grand jury, upon which it reported
Monday afternoon. Greenslit was not
arraigned and he asked that bail be fixed,
which was done, and he went back to
Jail, expecting to furnish $4,000 bail this
morning. j. Ward Carver, who repre-
sented him in city court, represented him
in county court
Greenslit appeared this morning and
gave bail, r. G. Palmer and George Long
furnishing the bail It is understood that
there were many men in Warren who Of
fered to bail Greenslit. At the time he
was originally arrested, after the shoot
ing affair and while the officers were eat
ing supper, some Is men appeared, of.
fering to go bail for Greenslit's appear
anee.
Greenslit is charged with causing the
death of Heath by shooting. A little
over three weeks ago, as the story is told
out Warren way, Heath went to Green
Sits place during the early part of the
night and il is alleged he took away an
armful of wood, that Greenslit's wife
saw someone going towards Heath's
house and that later the man came back
and was met by Greenslit while carrying
away an armful of wood. Greenslit is
said to have shot at Heath and then fol-
lowed a fight, after which Heath went to
his home The next morning Greenslit
was told that he had shot Heath. Heath
was brought to Heaton hospital the fol-
lowing Sunday and died in about 90 min
utes.
An autopsy was performed and it is
understood the bullet was found in the
abdominal cavity and probably caused
death Greenslit, who has a wife and
eight children, was out on bail at the
time and was then arrested on the charge
of murder and in city court bound over
to county court without bail.

WILLIAMS And HANLEY, STATE
OF VERMONT OFFICERS, PUT UNDER BAIL
FOR TRIAL ON VERY SERIOUS CHARGES
TRACK WASHED BY RAINS.
Central Vermont Trains Had to Be Can
celled for a Time.

A washout on the Barre branch of the
Central Vermont railroad seriously dis
rupted traffic throughout the night and
caused unreckoned damage to the road
bed. Not a wheel moved on the branch
line all night, although Barre officials Of
the company provided motor transporta-
tion for passengers and baggage, incom-
ing and outgoing. Incessant rains were
responsible for the damage, which CEN

river from the site of the old Wells

tion. Early in the week it was noticed
that the water was undermining the
track, but the damage was repaired, aid
not until yesterday morning did the
washout assume serious proportions. Io-
comotiye engineers had been directed to
proceed slowly over the threatened
trackage, and no interruption of service
had resulted.
Early yesterday four carloads of stone
chips were dumped into the abyss caused
by the water. Its action IL believed TO
have had the effect Of dislodging much
Of the bank which fianks the track. Late
yesterday afternoon a landslide had
created a small island in the Wells &
Lamson millpond, and officials who in
spected the track agreed with the sec
tion men that travel over the branch had
been rendered extremely hazardous. For
that reason local trains were cancelled,
and immediate provisions were made for
transporting passengers and luggage BY
auto between Barre and Montpelier.
Yard Master Frank Cassiva had an
augmented gang Of section hands work
ing on the construction Of detour track,
by which branch trains to-day were able
to avoid the scene OF the washout. The
first train In day traversed the branch
this morning soon after S:25 o'clock. II
is expected that 50 carloads Of waste
granite will be required, along with 9th
er material, to restore the track ard

Shipyards.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2l--The welfare de-
partment will be the first of those in the
shipyards Of the emergency fleet corpora
tion to feel the pruning knife as result
of the restoration Of peace.
This is the announcement made to-day
by Howard Coonley, vice-president os the
corporation. This does not mean, Mr..
Coonley said, that welfare work will be
dispensed with in the yards. It does
mean that the trimmings" such as base
ball, boxing and other athletic sports will
be eliminated.
There will be no change in the person
mel of the construction forces. On the
contrary, more and more men will be
added to this branch of the work. Sud-
den changes are not to be expected. The
process of readjustment to peace time
conditions will be gradual
Schools for riveters, established as a
means of speeding up production, will
probably also be eliminated, according ia
Mr., Coonley.

ulently taking from the state during the

few dollars to s333.54, and he Is also

An argument relative to the trial Of
the Hanley case developed NJ G. Leary,

for trial this month. The state opposed
on the ground that ample time inter-

Dec H.
The charges against Hanley, it is al

PRODICIOUS PLANS
OF UNITED STATES
nv VAR REVEALED
Some Of the Figures Published To-day
for the First Time Showed What
Great Preparations Had Been
Made for Carrying on
Long Fight If
Necessary.

American Headquarters in France,
Thursday, Nov, 20 by Associated I'ress)
The extent of Americas military effort
in France at the time the armistice was
declared is shown by statistics which
the Associated Press is now permitted to
make public. The stupendous figures
show only a part of the great effort
made in war preparations in men, mon
ey and material.
On the morning Of Nov. II, the United
States had in France 1891 officers and
1881 1915 men, total of almost 2,000,-
600. There were 100000 combat troops
in the Argonne action, exclusive Of the
American units engaged elsewhere.
The American army has brought to
France and has in operation 967 stand
ard gauge locomotives and 1874 stand
ard gauge freight cars of American man
ufacture. 1t also has in service $50 To-
comotiyes and 973 cars of foreign origin.
To meet demands which the existing
French railways were unable to meet,
s43 miles of standard gauge railway
Of this have been built since June J. The
department of light railways reports the
construction of ll5 miles of road and l40
miles of German light railway were re.
paired and put in operation. Two hun
dred and twenty five miles Of French
railway were operated by the Ameri-
cans.
Modern warfare is motor warfare The
American expeditionary forces had in
operation on Nov. II more than $4,000
motor vehicles of different kinds
Even at the present stage Of the ar
mistice, it is not permissible to hint at
the vast stores of munitions and arma-
ment brought over and held In resdi-
ness. The American expedtionary
forces were in no danger Of being placed
on short rations had the war continued
For instance, the Americans have 300,-
100000 rations Of beans alone; 1888 ,0OO.-
900 rations of -four and flour substi-
tutes; 100000 rations of milk; lGl..
100000 rations Of butter or substitutes:
l43,000,000 rations of sugar; $4,000 900
rations of meat; 57,000,000 rations of
coffee and ll3000000 rations of rice.
hominy and other foods There are re-
quisites such as favoring, fruits, candy
and potatoes in proportion, while there
are 76l,000,000 rations Of cigarettes ard
tobacco in other forms.
Ten steamer berths have been built
at Bordeaux, having a total length of
4,l00 feet. At Monitor, near st. Ma
zaire, eight berths are under construction
with a total length of over 5000 feet.
Great labor has been expended in dredg-
ing operations, repairing French docks
and increasing railway terminal facili,
ties. Warehouses having an aggregate
floor area of almost 23,000,000 square
feet have been constructed.
These figures serve in a measure to
show the magnitude of American acccm.
plishment, and the great machine is in
operation to-day as the American third
army moves forward into German ter
ritory,
