The city wide swimming classes for
boys to II years of age started yes
terday morning at "Niggerdam" with
twenty-five in line. A portion of the
basin was roped off and class mem.
bers were restricted to the enclosed
area while in the water. After DOM
ing their suits the boys lined up for
the land drill which lasted ten min
utes. This was followed by a short
period of verbal instruction. During
the land drill the four assistants
mistakes while Mr.. Holloway set the
drill. The boys were then divided in.
to two groups, the first known as
group one, was composed of boys who
cannot swim and group two consisted
of boys who can swim but wish to i'm
prove their style and increase their
power.
After the first instruction period the
beginners went in the shallow water
and played games with bail while the
swimmers dove in and practiced the
crawl stroke and passed ball for the
fun of it. All were called out Ct the
water for the second period of instruc-
tion after ten minutes fun and then
the beginners were supplied with
water wings and given the first les

faster than others but all did we'll for
the first time.

sons from becoming discouraged with

Barnes Fears Dearer Wheat in
Open Market
TO ATTACK PROFITEERS
President Wilson Will Address Con-
gress on High Cost Of Living
and VIII Make Suggestions

Washington, Aug 5.-President
Wilson will appear before Congress
within two or three days and deliver
an address on the cost of living, EN-
bracing recommendation for legisla
ton This announcement was auth
orized at the White House late this
afternoon after a day of official con
centration on the subject.
Rigid enforcement of laws relating
to profiteering and food boarding
will be instituted at once by Attorney
General Palmer, following considera
ton of means to reduce living costs
by subcommittee appointed by the
Cabinet.
The Administration will not adopt
a program of selling wheat below the
guaranteed price of 1925 a bushel
which the subcommittee had unani
mously recommended. julius Barnes
of New York, head of the United
States Wheat Corporation, had a con
ference with President Wilson, follow
ing which this decision was announc-
ed
Mr. Barnes issued a statement deal
ing with the world wheat situation in
which he set forth reasons why, as he
viewed it, wheat could not be sold
below the guaranteed price. This
statement was issued by Mr.. Barnes
after the President had approved his
firm Recommendation that there be
no reduction in the price.
The approval of Mr.. Barnes recon-
mendations at the White House fol
lowed his success earlier in the day
at a conference at the office of At
torney General Palmer where he
told of the unanimous proposal of the
subcommittee that, the Government
should purchase this years wheat
crop at the guaranteed price of 1925
and place it on the market at s1.5G a
bushel.
Mr.. Barnes opposition to this
recommendation necessitated his con
ference late in the afternoon with the
President, at which he went into the
world wheat situation, explained how
wheat was selling abroad higher than
in this country and presented facts
which resulted in the President sus-
tanning his position. In his state
ment Mr.. Barnes said that the wheat
corporation would begin to buy new
-four at less than the market prices
and sell it to the public at $40 bar
rel. no more and no less, in any com
munity where dealers sought to
charge more for the product.
Except as to wheat it is understood
that the program recommended by
the subcommittee composed of
Messrs. Leffingwell, Colver, and
Hines was approved at the Cabinet
conference to which it was SUBMIT
ed and that the program was general
ly indorsed by President Wilson, who
will make it the basis of the address
he will deliver to Congress. The
statement was made at the White
House that any declaration which the
President intended to make on the
cost of living problem would be en-
braced in his address to Congress.
The nature of the new legislation
which he will propose could not be
ascertained.

MRS. JOYCE kILMER READS
Gave Pleasing Entertainment to APP
prcciative Audience


To lovers of modern poetry, Mrs.
Kimer's reading last evening in the
Congregational chapel was a real treat
and good sized audience listened
sympathetically to the varied program.
Mrs. Kilmer first took up a group
of woman poets, giving from most inti-
mate knowledge, a world of interesting
facts about their personalities, as well
as discriminating estimate of their
literary standing. Following each des-
criptive introduction, she read or recit-
ed representative selections from their
poems.
The latter part of the program was
made up of her own works, which GER
tainly rank with the best of the ex-
ampies of American women poets. 1t
was a disappointment to the commit
tee in charge that Mrs. Kilmer did
not feel able to include any of her
husbands poems, but undoubtedly her
grief is too recent and her feeling too
poignant to make this possible.
Mrs. Kilmer has a most. appealing
personality and her charm OF face
and voice certainly won the hearts
of her audience.
The committee is very much pleas
ed with the response made by the pub
lie, about $4,000 being realized for {, 9

Brattleboro, Aug. Sat the open
ing of the sale of Holstein cattle to-
day at the pavilion of the Pure Bred
Livestock Sales company announce
ment was made from the platform by
Manager George F. Gregory that
Charles E. Cole of the Cole & Hicks
Holstein farm at Pawlet had admit
ted that certain records claimed for
cattle owned by him or tested for him
for others had been faxed.
1t was stated that Mr. Cole had
made a confession at meeting OF
the executive board of the Holstein-
F'riesian Association of America held
Saturday in Chicago. Frederick l..
Houghton of Brattleboro. secretary
of the association, was present at the
meeting.
Mr. Gregory stated that Mr.. Cole
confessed that most of the records of
cows tested by him in the last four
years were false. Mr. Cole has been
suspected several weeks and recent
ly when one of his cows at Pawlet
showed a production of 81 pounds of

said, was to wear around his waist a

allowing the cream to run inio the

in abnormal tests.

effect and one bull calf consigned by

FERDINAND is EXPECTED
! Hungary Asks That Each Of Great
Powers Send a Regiment to
Budapest

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE Supreme Coun-
Gil devoted most of its time today to
discussion of the Hungarian situa-
ton. Instructions were framed for
the inter-allied military mission in
Budapest, which is ordered to effect
withdrawal of the Rumanians from
the Hungarian capital as soon as the
Hungarian Red guard is disarmed.
A copy of these instructions has
been forwarded to Serbia and Ru-
mania, and the Serbian army, which
is approaching Budapest from the
south and is reported to be ravaging
the country, has been requested to
cease its advance.
American officials have warned Ru-
mania that economic support will be
withdrawn unless the orders of the
Allies are needed.
Advices from Budapest say that
King Ferdinand of Rumania is expect
ed to arrive here shortly. so that the
already acute political situation will
be sharpened. The lntransgeant's
Geneva correspondent hears from
Bucharest that the King is with his
army in Hungary.
The new Hungarian Government,
has sent Premier Clemenceau, as
President of the Peace Conference, a
communication saying it is willing to
observe the terms of an armistice,
and asking that each of the great
powers send a regiment to Budapest.
1t is impossible for the Allies to
comply with this request, as the
troops are not available. Small de-
tachments, however, will probably be
sent with the generals composing the
Inter-Allied Commission to arrange
the armistice. to give an international
complexion to the military forces as
a guarantee that the Rumanians are
not directing affairs. British moni
tors in the Danube, it is believed
will be sent to Budapest to steady
the situation.
