THREE NEW GODDARD TEACHERS
Include P. J. Leahey, Who VIII Coach
the Athletic Teams

Travels through Massachusetts,, the
motive for which was search for com
petent teachers, were completed yester-
day by Principal o. X. Hollister, who
for the past two weeks has been inter-
viewing numerous candidates for the po-
sitions Three experienced teachers have
finally been secured by MFR. Hellister,
who has every reason TO believe that his
choice has been well made. Miss Antoin-
cite White Of Barre, p. Joseph Leahey
of Holyoke, Mass, and Albert f, Hig-
gins of Lynn. Mass, are the three new
members of Goddard seminary's faculty
who viii be present at the opening of the
fall term OF school Miss White, who

ment, has taught in thF Barre City
schools for 10 years. Last year she stud.
led the commercial work at the evening
school at the seminary and has just com
pleted the course at the Bryant & STRAIT
ton Business college in Boston.
Mr.. Leahey's interest centers about
history and athletic teams, so he will
follow his likings at the school After
preparing at Wiliston seminary, he en-
tered Colgate university, graduating in
1916 In both institutions he was very
prominent in athletics and gained his
letters in the major sports He has
taught two years in western Pennsylya-
mia, where he successfully coached the
athletic teams. When the call to arms
"ame, he entered the service, soon to gain
the rank Of second lieutenant in south
s.rha hn Ia 80
fall Colgate is noted for its open style
of football playing, so it is expected that
he will radically change the style of
playing the game at Goddard.
Albert f. Higgins will be at the head
of the commercial department next year.
In this capacity he has an enviable rec
ord of experience, as he graduated from
the Lynn Classical high school, studied
four years at Salem normal, was assist
ant secretary to the Wentworth insti.
tute for one, year, sergeant clerk and
court martial stenographer in the service
six months. and was head of the com
mercial department in Franklin, Mass,
after being discharged from the service
last fall Under his supervision short
hand, first-year bookkeeping, commercial
geography law, and office practice will
be taught. He will also give lessons on
the violin, being a fine violinist with a
long experience in conducting orchestras.
With such records to their credit, these
people were selected from long list of
candidates, many of whom Principal
Hollister interviewed while absent. At
present he is corresponding with mum
Der of good candidates for the science
position. Each of the contracts has been
signed for the ensuing year and other
preparations for the reopening of school
this fall are fast being attended to by

AUTO DRIVER FINED.
Robert Thompson Pleaded Guilty to
Driving Car While intoxicated.

Officer John Murley had occasion yes
terday afternoon to take an automobile
ride in pursuit of Robert Thompson, who,
after being ordered not to operate his
car, set out in the 'direction of East
Montpelier in Chevrolet five passenger
car. He had not reached the city poor
farm when overtaken by the officer, who
arrested him. Officer Murley had ordered
him to leave his car in the garage, de-
claring he was in no condition to run it,
but no sooner had the officer turned
about, when Thompson cranked up the
car and started on his way.
1t proved to be a rather short but very
expensive ride, for when brought into
municipal court this morning. Thompson
was fined S75, with costs of 1886, after
he had pleaded guilty to operating an au-
tomobile while in a state of intoxication
Judge Z. L. Scott further impressed the
matter upon him by mentioning few
instances which resulted fatally to other
drivers Of automobiles when collision
or accident had happened'because someone
intoxicated had been allowed to operate
car. He also read the maximum SEN
tenee that he could have imposed upon
the respondent had he so desired, which
states fine Of $500 or Imprisonment of
two years or both, may be imposed upon
person operating an automobile while
intoxicated
The same car figured in slight mishap
at the Braley place on North Main street
to-day, when it slid down an embanR-
ment and had one rod of the top broken
The ear was put back on the road by
workmen from the Palace gargae. No one
was in the ear when it slid over the bank.

provision was not made in the treaty it
self for its disposition, as constituting

merely entrusts the disposition of the

Twelve remuneration in
favor of the principal allied and associ-
ated powers of her rights and titles to
her overseas possessions, is meant slml-
larly TO operate as vesting in those pow

final disposition and government
"Thirteen.--There has been q provi-
sional agreement as to the disposition OF
these overseas possessions, whose con-
firmation and execution is dependent
upon the approval of the league of ma
tions, and the United States is a party
to that provisional agreement.
"Fourteen.-The only agreement be-
tween France and Great Britain with re-
gard to African territory, of which |
am cognizant, concerns the redisposition
of rights already possessed by those
countries on that continent. The provi-
sional agreement referred to in the pre-
ceding paragraph covers all the German
overseas possessions in Africa, as well as
elsewhere.
''Fifteen.-No mention was made in
connection with the settlement of the
Saar basin of the service of an American
member OF the commission of five to be
set up there.
"Sixteen.--It was deemed wise that
the United States should be represented
by one member of the commission for
settling the new frontier lines of Bel

ful element of entirely disinterested
judgment.
"Seventeen.-Th choice of the com
mission for the Saar basin was left to
the council of the league of nations, be-
cause the Saar basin is for Is years to be
directly under the care and direction Of
the league Of nations.
Eighteen 81 does in effect
provide that five of the members OF the
commission of seven to fix the bounda-

referred to is that for the fixing of the
Polish beundaries.)
"Tweuty.-It was deemed wise that
the United States should have a repre-
sentative on the commission set to exer-
else authority over the plebiscite of up
per Silesia, for the same reason that |

Belgium and Germany.

RESERVATIONS
CAUSE MOVEMENT FOR
LARGER SALARIES
More Than 800 Permanent Officers Have
Resigned and More designations
Are Being Submitted
Daily.

Washington, d. c., Aug 2l.-With the
designations of more than 300 perma-
nent officers of the regular navy al
ready submitted to the department and
more arriving daily, acting Secretary
Roosevelt to-day began work on pro.
posed legislation TO be submitted to
Congress suggesting substantial pay in
creases for officers and enlisted men of
the navy and marine corps. Present
pay tables have not been revised upward
since 1918 although civilian pay has in
creased substantially in almost every
branch of work
High ranking officers, who have given
careful study to the situation, believe
the efficiency of the navy is seriously
threatened. Most of the designations
have come from the younger officers in
the lower grades, the men to whom the
country looks for the leadership Of It's
sea forces in the years to come. These
officers, received from $l,700 to $4,000 a
year, most of them Annapolis graduates
capable of earning much higher salaries
in civilian life, say they find it impos-
sible to support their families on their
pay. In this connection, one rear ad-
miral called attention to the many
classes of ordinary labor in civilian life
who earn larger salaries than do naval
officers who are responsible daily for
many lives and thousands of dollars
worth Of government property.
For the present, Acting Secretary
Roosevelt said to-day, no action will be
taken on the designations now on file,
pending attempts to readjust the pay ta
bles. Already short nearly 1000 officers
on the basis Of the navy's ace-time
strength, Mr.. Roosevelt said that unless
the salary revision is obtained the navy
faces the awkward choice of retaining
a large numby Of officers against their
will with subsequent discomfort and dis.
satisfaction, or accepting the resigna-
tions. Annapolis graduates have been
trained at a government expense Of more
than $4,000 each, he said, and even
though other candidates might be OBJ
tanned in the future to take their places,
it would take years to train them.
More designations now are on file than
had been received from the entire regu-
lar navy in the last 80 years. Since
1898 the average has been seven year.
Among designations now awaiting ac-
ton are those Of more than rs officers
Of the line, l9l doctors, 25 chaplains, a
score OF supply officers and nine naval
constructors.
Mr.. Roosevelt said a similar eondi-
ton of low wages applied to warrant
officers, non commissioned officers and
enlisted men and that only legislative
action can solve the problem. He expects
to submit recommendation to Congress
next week
