Vocational Training

New Mexico may now have
schools like those of Denmark,
schools in which vocational ed
ucation is carried to a high mark
of efficiency; schools in which the
youth above Ia years Of age may
acquire a practical education
something more than book
learning"
W. F.Cramer, expert in the
agricultural side of vocatio nal
training has been here repres emit
ing the government and explain
ing certain provisions of the
bill. He left for Oklahoma yes
terday evening, after discussing
many of the details connected
with getting the federal aid
which will steadily increase year
after year until 1923, when a fixed
sum will be nams1 to carry on
the work.
The aid will go to three branches
Of vocational training: Agricult-
ure, trades and industries, home
economics.

Different views are expressed
on the subject however, as SOM
claim that in the county of Lin
coin, for instance, where a very
small amount of agriculture is
carried on compared with others,
that a youth would, if educated
in vocations valuable to himself,
be compelled to resort to mining
and stock raising principly.
This training, of course would be
highly beneficial, providing the
student remained in one location
long enough but should he change
his address and take up bis res
idence where the country is a
dapted TO agriculture, his former
studies would be of no benefit to
him, and therefore his time
would be wasted.
However, it will be a new ex-
perience Cor New Mexico, and
the leaders of the movement will
doubtless make the necessary
provisions that will clear up the
matter and give a better under.
standing to all localities con.
cerned.

FRENCH 4 NILES FROM ST. QUENTIN.
CAVALRY PATROLS NEAR la FERE..
BRITISH RENEW DRIVE AT CAMBRIA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUMMARY OF The WAR
(By Associated Press.1

As the allied armies draw nearer
to cambrai, Sc. Quentin and the
natural defensive positions of the
Germans in the ST. Gobain forest,
the offensive movement begins to
lose much of the momentum It gain
ed and maintained while less import
ant enemy positions were being
taken.
However, slow progress continues
TO be made by Field Marshal Hais's
British forces in the direction Of
cambrai and St. Quentin and If the
operations OF the French armies un-
der General Humbsrt and General
Mansin are successful in over-run-
ming or enoircIina the ST. Gobain
massif,, the German retreat must be-
gin anew and with greater rapidity
than at any time since the allied
counter offensive started in the mid
die Of July.
cambraI and St. Quentin, the Inn
mediate obieetivOs of the British
forces in the present phase of the
offensive movement, are almost
within striking distance. The Brit
ish are within ak miles OF ST.
Quentin at ViIIeque and they have
captured Roisel and ST. Emile.
Along the limo between Canbrai and
ST. Quentin the British advance has
carried them into their old positions
from which they were driven by the
Germans last March. Further ad.
vanees are being bitterly contested
by the Germans.
The Germans evidently realizing
follow the fall OF the ST. Gobain
sive by taking advantage of the
attacks against the French near
Laffaux and north of CeIIes- sur
Aisne seem to bear out the belief
that the Germans will not give up
Sc. Gohain without 4 struggle. In
addition to the protection Il affords
Laon, the 81. Gobain position, If
carried would weaken the entire
German line eastward toward
Rheims. Northwest Of 81. Gobain,
the French have taken Nemesis
and Tepnier and are threatening la
Fsre. On the edge of the forest the
French have penetrated the outskirts
Of Servaia.
On thesliue between the VesIe and
the Aisne rivers additional ground
has been gained by the French and
American forces. The German Of
fetal statement dealing with the
fighting here says that It has de-
creased. ...

North Dakota, having, been a

not so deeply concerned as many
other states in the new order from
Washington prohibiting the manu-
4acture of beer after December j
next but there is much interest in
the possible effect that the new or

have been part of the refreshment
OF the people Of the state for some
time past.
It is generally thought that the
order will affect the manufacture OF

that all may see when it says there
will be further great curtailment
in fuel for the manufacture Of grass
containers, of tin plate for caps, OF

DR.. e. F. Ladd, food adninistra-
tor, said this morning, The inclus-
ion OF the near beers and substitutes
in the order was being considered
when I was in Washington. They are
all now being produced on reduced
supplies of fuel and food materials

AT the Western Bottling works Of

was said this morning that unless
there was further curtailment in

a state that has been chronicalIy
dry. There is probably as little ex-
citement in North Dakota over the
order as in any state OF the Union,
but the localities that receive
large part of their income from
licensed saloons are thinking of ways

will come In city treasures, and a

StockweH Return From
Chicago Conference

North Dakota's share of the fund
to be raised in the merger campaign
to be conducted in November for the
welfare organizations doing work
with the United States army, will be
$675, 900.
This news was brought to Fargo
by III. w. Gearey and w. l.. StockwelI
who returned last evening from a
conference in Chicago, which they
attended as chairman and director
respectively of the United War Work
campaign. At the conference Satur-
day ID states were represented, con-
stituting the central department of
this military district and to this CEN
trail department was ascribed "a per
cent Of the amount to be raised or
$57,9T0,000 as the total sum set for
this campaign is $170, 100000.
Before the plans for the merger
were adopted North Dakota's share
for the Y. M. C. A.. and the
Y. w. C. A. was set at 100000. The
new quota announced for this state
at Saturdays meeting will cover the
contributions this state will be
asked to make to. the seven organiza-
tons doing welfare work.
In Fine Spirit.
"The, seven organizations have en-
tered into the new plan in the finest
spirit" said Mr.. Stockwell today,
and the thought now uppermost is,
How much can we do for the boys
overseas and in the home camps So
far as the coming campaign is con-
cerned each of the seven organiza-
,tions sinks it's own individuality and
joins heartily in the larger campaign
We are doing this as American citi-
zens, anxious and determined to win
the war as one strong man said
it can be done, it must be done and
it will be done. The representative
of the great state of Illinois, which, is
asked to raise over $12 ,000, 900 of this
fund said, all. there was to do was to
salute and go to it; that was the
spirit.
