ALBERTA SCHOOL NOTES

At a recent meeting of the board of
education the entire school faculty was
unanimously reelected. However, only
two of the faculty have accepted their
old position for next year. Miss Myrtle
Bacon. teacher of English and Mr..
Grafelman, principal. The other teach
ers have plans which cannot we'll be
changed, making it impossible for them
to return to Alberta for another year
The board unanimously decided to
employ another teacher for next year.
making a faculty of seven teachers
This will mean better work and greater
efficiency especially in the upper grades
This valuable addition to the school will
also mean results better ever than the
good work done by the fine high school
of Alberta. The Alberta high school is
especially fortunate in retaining nearly
all it's big boys and girls clear through
the high school period. This year
there will be a senior class of four boys
and two girls to graduate. The junior
class of six also will prove most
worthy successor to the present senior
class It is certainly gratifying to find
that by this additional teacher the Al
berta school will be better than ever
The meeting of the Community CLUB
proved success Saturday evening. A
much larger house was realized than
was ever expected on account of so
auditorium was nearly full in spite OF
this adverse condition. Among the fine
parts of the program were two talks
one by Mr.. l.. J. Schlattman on what
the farmer expects of the business man,
and one by Mr.. L. P. Norby on what
the business man expects of the farmer
both very ably given. Other fine parts
of this good program were humorous
contributions by two high school seniors
Arnold Ginnow and Glenn Prickett,
piano selections by Irene Hamilton ana
Mrs Paul Schlattman, vocal duet by
Hazel and Irene Eystad. Harry Adams
also gave an address on war savings
stamps and Red cross work. It was too
bad that not more Alberta business men
were present to get the hot shots from
Mr.. SchIattman, because they contained
so much truth, to say the least. II
the merchants want to fight the mali
order houses they will have to find out
the reasons why farmers do this.
School attendance is about 30 per cent
this week, the worst in the history OF
the school, 1t is impossible to see how
some students can be passed this year
Miss Hattie Arp, home economics
teacher of the Chokio schools, visited
over the week end with her friend, Miss
Mabel Satire, intermediate teacher OF
the Alberta school, returning Monday
morning.

upon request OF the many friends OF

the action In Gen. .Edwards's eases was
for personal or military reasons.
Gen. Edwards was in the Philippines.

Taft Administration was such that he
was one time mentioned as a possibility
for Secretary Of War in the Taft Cabinet.
When the Twenty-sixth Division went

went over to France with lem. The
Yankee Division was composed chiefly
vf National Guardsmen of New England.

glory in the Argonne and at Verdun,

ARGONNE BATTLE
SAVED MANY LIVES
Would Haze Cost Million,
Says Palmer.

Interesting Details of the battle Of
the Argonne. which was the largest mill
tary operation ever undertaken by an
American army and one of the major
battles of the world war. were told to
the members of the-Advertising Club
yesterday by Lieut. Col. Frederick Pal
mer of the United States Army. who was
on Gen. Pershing's stan. Col. Palmer
declared that the operation shortened
the war by many months and achieved
successes at a cost of 10000 casualties
which would have meant losses OF prob
ably a million had the operation been
postponed until 1919.
II don't think the people at home
quite realize the Importance OF the Ar
gonne battle" said Col. Palmer. The
original plans were that It should be
fought in 1919. After St Mihiel we
were to spend the winter in forming our
new army and wait for all the supplies
that were to come from America.
I'VE were In the midst Of the prepara-
lions for the st. Mihiel engagement when
Marshal Foch and Gen. Pershin6 de-
cided to begin preparing for the Ar
gonne offensive, which they planned to
begin on September 26. At that time
all the older American divisions were in
the St. Mihiel salient and we had to
use new divisions for the initial attack
in the Argonne-two of them in fact
had never before been under fire.
I'VE were short Of guns and supplies

that 10 we could drive through 70 the
German lines OF communication, the
war would not last through the fall

speed, WILL endurance and John ]
Pershing's determination surmonnted all
obstacles The battle cost US 10000
casualties, and perhaps saved us a
million that 1t would have cost IL the
operation had been delayed until spring
Nothing in our history approaches that
operation, either as q whole or In de-
tall.
1T was Gen. Pershing.s plan, nado
In 1917, that the American Army should
first take the st. Mihiel salient, anu
then our troops. operating on the right
iank Of the French, were to keep on
hammering until they broke through tu
Metz and the Rhine--and he convinced
the Germans In the Argonne that he
could make good with the plan."
Col. Palmer also touched upon the re-
ports current In the United States that
there was unnecessary loss of life In
the American Army on the morning Of
November IL. ~
"our army had no official informa-
ton that 1t was to stop fighting until
word was sent from Marshal Foch's
headquarters after the armistice had
been signed" he said. Even after the
Allies had submitted their terms to the
Germans the officers and men of the
army doubted that there would bt
peace. They felt that they had beer
tricked too often by German peace talk
II was our business to 20 on fighting
until we were ordered TO stop. ..
