ACTS OF HERoIsM.
Honor Rolls and Community Recog
milton of Distinguished Service.

MONTPELIER, August 6.-The Yer
mont committee of public safety issues
the following from the Office of the
secretary in this city:
1t has been suggested that the dis
trict committees make provision in
each of their communities for the GEN
ersus recognition of acts of heroism on
the part of our men in service.
IN order to carry out this request
most effectively, the council of ndtion-
al defense recommends:
|. That each local community main
tain an honor roll recording the names
of all men in service with their
achievements and dates of entry and
discharge. In compiling such a list, no
mention should be made of the organ
ization to which the men belong.
2. That each local council of defense
appoint in each community a commit
tee or an individual to read all official
and unofficial military news and to
watch for any mention of men from
the community.
). This letter of recognition should
not be over page in length and should
be in such form as to merit permanent
preservation. 1t should be signed in
the name of the local council of de-
Tense, and should recite the specific
deed of heroism commended. A copy
of the letter should be given to the To-
cal newspapers and clippings of the
papers should be mailed to the man in
service.
| 4. That the committee also address an
appropriate communication to the next
/ of kin of all men of the community
whose names appear upon the list of
casualties and arrange for some indi-
vidual in the community to deliver the
letter in person.
Letters from men in service, shorn of
] all reference TO their organization, ac-
counts of special deeds of valor or
/ heroispl and the names of men added
to the honor roll should be read at
patriotic community gatherings.
The recommendations here made are
already being carried out in certain
sections of the country. We believe
that the time has now come for state
wide effort for each district committee
to see that each community arranges
! to accord generous recognition to all
acts of heroism on the part of their
men IN service by maintaining an hon
or roll and by giving personal recog-
milton to the distinguished service of
their sons in the armed forces of the
nation.
The federal government is relying

A DEARTH OF MEN
TEACHERS is NOTED
Boston Superintendent Says It May Be
Necessary to Place Women in
Boys High Schools.

BOSTON, August 6-At the rate
men teachers have been going into war
service during the last two months
there is liable to be a serious dearth
of them in the Boston schools in the
next school year said the superintend-
emit, DR.. Franklin B. Dyer, this morn
ing. 1t may be necessary to place wom-
Ell as teachers in boys high schools,
thing that has never yet been done,
and it may be that in some high schools
double sessions will have to be held in
certain subjects in order that all the
pupils wishing to take those subjects
may be accommodated
As yet, there are enough women to
meet the requirements of the schools,
although some of the best of these
have left to take up some form of war
service. The names of all the men and
women who have gone into work of
that kind have not yet been received
at headquarters.
While German has not been officially
dropped from the curriculum, it is be-
ing dropped by the pupils, DIR. Dyer
said. There is practically no demand
for it, and he knows of not single
class in that subject that will be
opened in the intermediate schools
next September. Last year, second
language was offered in those inter
mediate schools which had given Ger
man, and most of the pupils left their
German for French or Spanish. In
the high schools, about the only pu-
pills continuing with the study of that
language are those preparing to enter
some technical school, or who are
nearly through their courses.
Coal is coming into the school bins
in promising abundance. There is no
evidence at present that it will be
necessary to close the schools next
winter, DR.. Dyer says. 1t appears TO
him now that the schools can be opened
and run as usual with a proper amount
of fuel to keep them in operation.
| One of the most serious removals
| from the schools for war work, DR..
! Dyer pointed out, is that of the super
visor of licensed minors, Timothy F.
Regain. 1t is position difficult to fill
at any time and now when available
men are few, especially So 1t is a
position that seems wholly unsuited to
a woman, he said

more and more upon the state councils
OF defense or state committees of pub
lie safety to conduct the war programs
In the several states to maintain the
morale of all citizens under the strain
OF the war. To a large extent, this re-
lance in this state is based upon the
district committees and this reliance
has proved justified exactly in proper
ton to the efforts of the district organ
ization.
In this great international contest of
resources, it is the reaction of the indi-
vidual that determines the results. and
on which in the last analysis hangs the
fate of the world In our system, it is
the district committee that reaches the
individual and by translating the mes
sage of the federal government into
prompt and thorough action, makes our
national resources the determining fac
tor for victory.
The various federal departments and
war administrations turn to us to en-
list the district committees in specific
war tasks. Their appeal is most often
based upon the service which the dis
trlet committees alone can render. In
order that we may consistently assure
them of this service and ask them to
utilize 1t instead of creating new organ
lzations of their own. we must orr
selves be assured that each district
committee is promoting throughout its
territory an organization which will
ultimately reach the most remote citi
zen and make him a part of the system
The whole community must he
aroused and nodded into war oroa-
nlzatlon. In a sense your work must
never be completed You are DEALING
with an element that needs constant
attention. In order that the mobili-
cation of the nation for the war NAV
be rapidly and effectively accomplished
and in order that the committee on
public safety system NAV become the
backbone of our modified nation teach
district committee is urged to make its
organization 100 per cent efficient.
IN the numebr of citizens reached.
Do not stop your first drive until YOU
can honestly report that this has been
accomplished. You have the response
blllty of keeping the people interested.
OF preventing a relapse into inertia
after the first excitement of organizing.
| by telling them the results of efficient
community work on big scale, by set
ting new tasks, and citing the achieve
ments of other local councils. Endeavor
to keep your organization fit to put
over every war activity that YOU NAV
ask or that the nation may require.
and by keeping them fit, maintain the
war morale of the country.

BEWARE OF FAKIRS

The following account Of what hap
pened in Miner county is worthy of
remembrance by u own people. Do
not give money to any stranger just
a good cause Anyone entitled to
make such collections will be vouched
for by some local person whom you
know:
Members of the council of defense
of Miner county exposed a fake Ca
madam soldier who was travelling over
South Dakota collecting money for
himself and supposedly for the Red
Cross, but all the funds evidently
went into his own pocket. After be-
ing closely questioned by NJ. d. Eide,
chairman of the county council of
defense, the alleged soldier, who gave
his name as Sergeant Nageille, was
temporarily released, and took adj
vantage of the opportunity to make
his escape. He was pursued as far
as Carthage, where all trace of him
was lost.
THE alleged soldier made public
addresses and claimed he had been in
France q months hunting the Hun
One of the thrilling stories told by
him was that he had personally cut
the Threats of eight German soldiers,
and that on n occasion he had spat
in the face of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg. During his stay in Howard
he made trips to Canova and Villas
and collected quite a sum Of money
at each place, which he represented
was for the Red Cross.
when taken to task by Chairman
Eide, of the council of defense, ne
was unable to produce credentials
from the Red Cross or other organi-
zations. During his stay in Howard
he made himself solid with several
of the young ONE who just love a
man in a uniform and also with one
or two of the married women, who
made his stay as pleasant as posi-
bic. During one Of his visits to Can
ova the sergeant stated that he had
had the experience of being gassed,
wounded and taken prisoner, and gave
"details of his escape from an alleged
German prison. He also stated he
had killed 40 Huns and hoped to be
able to go back and get that many
more.
In his precipitate flight from How
ard he overlooked paying a number
If hotel and other bills"
