Letters encouraging the new COM
mercial course which is being offered
at the Central High this year are be-
ing sent out to- the various students
who seem adapted to this work. War

talented and experienced employees
in this line and it becomes necessary
for some one to assist in the shortage.
In regard, to the course being Of
fered at the local school any person
1S years of age or becoming eighteen
during the coming year is eligible to
apply. Persons who did not attend
school during the past term are not
excluded and may enroll for this
work.
Regular day school work will take
place and regular credits will be Civ

tire year. When the course has been
completed, the scholar will not only
have learned the course but will have
gained the high school credits.
Enrollments are coming in to the
superintendent's office regularly and
it is desired that any intending to en-
roll will do so early and avoid con-
fusion at the last minute.

Paris, Wednesday, Aug. 2s.-The

in Paris. from Italy.
THE working classes" he added,
"seems to be satisfied that military
victory Is the only victory possible,
that a conference with the German
socialists would be of no avail and
that peace through negotiations is an
impossibility. The results of the re-
cent offensive have stiffened immense
ly the morale of the working groups
making them determined to carry on
the war until a decisive victory
Even the radical groups have changed
their attitude about peace by negoti-
alton and now are unit in demand
