SCHOOL SYSTEM is
BEING DEMORALIZED
Long vacation, Enforced BY Epidem-

Education Department.

The necessity of closing the schools
for another week is thoroughly de-
moralizing to the school system and
it is extremely unfortunate, from an
educational point of view, that con-
dirions have necessitated such dras-
tic action, according to Supe1intend-
ent of Schols Stanley H. Holmes.
Already the schools have oeen
closed for two wcoLs and the fact
that they must remai4 i,le at least
one more week is di516ulaging Tt s

school organization is troh Il tn
system utterly upset, and whel it is
again possible t. reopen the schools
the daily routine will have to be
completely reorganized, as will the
prescribed schedule OF lessons.
The state educational department
prescribes that there must be So
weeks of school While the school au~
thorities are unable to state what eff
feet this enforced vacation will have
on the Thanksgiving, Christmas and
Easter vacation periods, it is feared
that any longer period Of inactivity
might result in the curtailment of

in Smashing Path Through
Germans Northwest of
Verdun.

100000 American soldiers now have
gone overseas, Gen. March told the
members of the senate military COM

sress, Gen. March was notified that
the Germans had evacuated the entire
Belgian coast UP to the Holland boun-
Diary and that it is now in possession
Of the Allies.
The German retirement from the
Belgian coast district, Gen. March

The Hindenburg defense system now
is entirely behind the Allied advance
and Marshal Foch is continuing his
pressure without givin the enemy the
slightest opportunity for a rest.
Gen. March did not attempt to an
alyze the military situation on the
western front as a whole or to point
out objectives OF the various attacks.
He called attention to the fact that
the German retirement starting last
week on so mile sector between the
Disc and the Argonne. had spread
during the Argopne, had affected all
except Is miles Of the $50 mile
front from the coast to the Meuse.
While this retirement was in pro-
gress, he said, the American army
northwest of Verdun was fighting it's
way forward against stiff resistance.
The goth division (New Jersey, Dele
ware, Virginia, Maryland and District
of Columbia troops) was identified
as one of those operating east of the
Meuse. The saith (Michgan and east
wisconsin, now is acting as a depot
division on the line of communication
while the Saith (Kentucky, Indiana
and Southern Illinois) is reported as
having just arrived in France The 3Sth
