Washington, Feb. 4.--Secretary
Bakers recent statement to the senate
military committee that the United
states would have half million sol.
diers in France early this year and that
prospects were not unpromising for
ships to carry a million more who would
be ready during the year, were char
acterized by Senator Hitchcock in an
address to the senate today as "abso.

impression as to what we can do and
what we are doing"
Supporting the committees bills for a
war cabinet and munitions director, SEN
ator Hitchcock declared that Secretary
Baker was no doubt sincere, but was
misled by lack Of information, regarding
scarcity Of ships, into making q san
guine prediction. He said President
wilson himself does not know the real
situation" and cited the situation as an
Illustration OF the absence of govern

June "A, 1918.
My Dear Mr.. Sherman
Many times since coming into the
service it has come into my mind to
write a little sketch for your paper
but always have either lacked a sub
ject or would have had to choose one
that had been written upon by other
contributors before me. You have had
stories of camp life, training school
life, aviation camps, of voyages across
the ocean, of army life in England
and France but so far [ have seen
no accounts Of experiences in the air
by citizens of Lancaster who have ac-
tually had such experience.
I am now located at a post where
travel in the air may at any time be
a part Of my duty and as I have al
ready had the experience it occurs to
me that. an account of my first aero
plane flight might not be without in
terest to yourself as we'll as your
readers. I have touched only the high
places-some of which were pretty
Highland have tried to make it as
brief as possible and still tell the
story.
Very truly yours,
James Fl. Fowler.

SCHOOL MEETING

The Annual School meeting in Ian
caster this year was a very quiet af-
fair, the only excitement coming in
the close race between J. T. Webb
and r. M. Orchard to represent the
third ward on the school board
Three ballots had to be cast before
a decision was reached, Mr.. Webb
being the final winner by two votes
Other members elected were E. J.
Morse, chairman Of the board, for
three years, and Hal Borah from No
Lancaster, in place Of Frank BidWell
for term of two years.
The treasurer's report for the year
showing disbursement of $20,668.44
was submitted by R. Meyer Jr. Dis
bursements for the coming year, as
recommended by the school board
and unanimously approved, exceed
those of last year by $1,000. The in
crease in the budget is largely due to
increased salaries, which are the rule
all over the country.
German, rs expected, was eliminat-
ed from the course OF study. The fol
lowing resolution was presented and
adopted with out a dissenting vote:
Resolved, that the school board OF
it. school dist. No. 3, towns of North
and South Lancaster and city of Lam
caster, Grant County, Wis, be hereby
directed to drop from the course of
study now adopted, the study of the
German language in all courses, and
that the time heretofore given to the
study of German be used for the more
thorough study of the English Ian
guage,-the language Of the United
States.
