New York Pershings words in response
to the greeting We're Indicative Of such
an understanding of the affair but he
will find as he goes about the country
that the welcome accorded him at New
York was really the outburst Of acclaim
from the whole country albeit there will,
Of course, be demonstration after demon
stration to the leader of the greatest
American host ever gathered. The PEG
pie Of the United States feel warmly for
the veteran leader of the American ex-
peditionary forces because Of the wisdom
with which he carried out the manifold
duties of military commander in for
eign land and in the greatest war in his
tory Pershing does not stand out as
the greatest military figure in the war;
Americans readily concede that Marshal
Foch was the great outstanding figure
Of the four and one-half years cam
paigning Pershing's was a subordinate
position, the leader Of one section Of the
great combined army which became ar
rayed against Germany and her allies.
He was part of the general command

There undoubtedly is strong element
of truth in the statement that action by
European members Of the allied combina
tion on the treaty Of peace is being held
up by the delay of the United States
Senate Some Of the nations allied with
the United States in the prosecution Of
the war are loath to accept the treaty
when there seems to be some doubt
whether the United States will ratify.
The world looks to the United States
for leadership in this action OF peace
just az it relied on the United States
for guidance and support during the war.
Until the United States ratides the
treaty there will be a great deal Of con
fusion in Europe

COOPERATION AS AID 10 SCHOOL
WORK.

The Barre city schools have started
the l9l0-20 school year under favorable
auspices, as Supt. White was able to an
nounce that every teacher was on hand
AZ the opening day OF the session and as
there is no contagious disease outbreak
calculated to prevent attendance by a
large number Of the pupils. It is worth
good deal to have the regular teachers
in attendance from the outset of the
term, even though the substitutes may
be as efficient, inasmuch as the presence
Of the regular teachers assures a con
tinuity Of instruction and mode Of dis
cipline, whereas a change in mid term is
calculated to result in more or less con
fusion as the teacher and pupils strive
to get adjusted to each other 1t is for
