TRAINING STARTED IN FORCE
ON RHINE TO BE CON-
TINUED

LONDON, Oct. Educational
training in the British army, which
was begun among the forces occu-
plying the Rhine, not only is to be
continued in the new army but it
will be virtually compulsory. 1t
is, an army order states, ito be re-
garded as an essential element in
the making of a soldier and an
army" Steps have been taken to
continue educational training for all
soldiers going overseas.
An official told the Associated
Press correspondent 1t was under
stood that the three cardinal divis-
ions of higher commercial and tech
meal education, which were taught
on the Rhine, will be retained and
developed.
According to President H. A. L..
Fisher of the board of education,
the mere recognition of the fact
that education is h~enceforward to
be an essential part of army train.
ing is one of those great steps for
ward in the social progress of the
world for which the war has been
responsible"
Inevitably" the correspondents
informant pointed out, "the spread
of education in the army will n
sure an increase of efficiency which
will be a great gain for the army
itself. A military movement must
in the future depend ever more than
at present upon the intelligent initi-
alive of the private.
Life in the army for the common
soldier will be far more pleasant.
Educated young men will give to
barrack life a good tone. They will
maintain a high standard of decency
and cleanliness, and they will bring
an increase in that esprit de
corps and social spirit which make
life at schools and universities so
In fact, there is no
reason why the army should not
come to be regarded as the peoples
university course. The influence
of this military university upon ma
tional character will be of incalcul-
able value"

LONDON, O0. Am ~airplane,
lowering about the South Pole, may
back to London daily wireless
advices relative to explorations or
scientific researches by the South
Pole expedition which is to be led
by John l.. Cope next summer.
' The explorer, who has served as
surgeon and biologist on previous
south polar expeditions, believes the
use of airplanes and wireless in
probing the solitudes of the ice
bound antarctic regions will lead to
revelations that will make the trip
more important, from a scientific
point of view, than any previous ex-
plorations of the earth's under
side"
Although new difficulties will be
created by the use of aircraft it is
claimed the advantages to be OBJ
tanned are so great as to be obvious
to anyone acquainted with such re-
search. 1t is proposed to equip the
airplanes used with wireless appara-
tus having a sending range of sew
eral miles insuring communication
with the mother ship" of the ex-
petition. From this ship summaries
of the airplanes' exploits are to be
flashed by more powerful instru-
ments back to the civilized world.

STARTS ON
zUyDER ZEE PROJECT
RECLAMATION OF VAST TERRI
TORY HAS BEEN DREAM
OF DUTCH

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 4.-Holland
at last has begun work or its long
projected plan for retaining the
land covered by the Zuyder Zee.
This will mark the fulfillment of a
Dutch dream of 70 years.
The scheme aims at recovering
for tillage and pasture about 500
square miles flooded by the sea 700
years ago with a loss, it is said Of
$4,000 lives. The remaining 500
square miles of channel between the
reclaimed portions Of land will be
turned into a fresh water lake fed
by the River Ijsel, a branch of the
Rhine, and protected against the
sea by a dyke 1873 miles long be-
tween the Island of Wieringen and
Piaam, on the coast of Friesland.
The reclaimed land will consist
of four ''polders" surrounding the
lake. They are expected eventually
to supply a living to nearly 100000
persons. The work is to be spread
over 20 years and will cost about
500, 100000.
During the last three generations
the Dutch have added to their ter
ritory by reclamation 1000 square
miles.

KILLED COASTING
Dean Gilchrist, Newport Boy, Killed
When Traverse Goes Over
Sluice
(Special to the Caledonian)

NEWPORT, Feb. pa coasting
accident occurred here last night in
which one boy was killed and another
badly injured. The accident occurred
about 8 o'clock when seven boys were
sliding on a traverse on Pine Hill
leading onto Fern street. They were
on their third trip, starting from the
top of the first hill beyond Charles
Clark's house. On the way the ira
verse began to go towards the right
side of the road. Opposite the road
is sluiceway and the traverse went
over the side of this, the sled strik-
ing the plank and also the post
on which the plank was spiked. This
loosened the spikes against which the
boys struck. Henry Bouldman, who
was steering struck the spikes, but
Dean Gilchrist, who was just back
of Bouldman, got the force of the
blow and spike protruded into the
upper part of his leg, severing the
big artery. He was taken to Mr..
Clark's house, and DR.. Gaines and
Mrs. Gilchrist were summoned. The
boy was unconscious nearly all the
time until his death occurred, only
about Is minutes after the accident
occurred. Dean Gilchrist, was aged
about 10 years, the youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Gilchrist. Their
only other child is another son, Scott
.Gilchrist. Mr. Gilchrist is an express
agent and left yesterday noon on his
trip, but has been notified and is ex-
pected home this noon. The body was
taken to the Curtis undertaking par
lors. The funeral arrangements have
not yet been made. The other boys on
the traverse were Maurice Alexander.

sugar-makers are buying buckets with

year. There is not the normal in
crease in the number of sugar makers
who are buying complete new equip

It is estimated that there are 5,000,-
900 maple sugar trees in Vermont,
which are not tapped. This means
that less than As per cent of the pos
sible out put is being produced. The
amount of sugar that can be taken
from a tree depends on the weather,
but pound to tree would not be
large, and that would mean that Yer
mont is neglecting to make $500 tons
of maple sugar, which would mean
