/ NORWICH UNIVERSITY
Vermont's Distinguished Military
College and Government Honor
School

Every year since the classifica-
ton of distinguished college was first
made by the War Department, Nor
wich University has been so CLASH
fed, and this year is no exception.
The following extract from the War
Department bullctln speaks for it
self.
distinguished College and Honor
Schools for the year 1919. Based
upon reports of officers dNA allied for
the purpose of making the annual
inspection of the military departments
of educational institutions at which
officers Of the army are detailed as
professors of military science and
tactics, the following named institu-
tons are announced as the distin-
guished colleges and the honor
schools respectively, as contemplated
by paragraph 100, Compilation of
Orders, 1881-1915, as changed.
Distinguished Colleges
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Texas, College Station,
Texas.
Cornell University, Ithaca, New
York.
Michigan Agricultural College,
West Lansing, Michigan.
Norwich University, Norwich, Yer
mont.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Oregon.

burg, Va.
Virginia Military Inst, Lexington,
Va.
Norwich University is one Of the
two schools which has always been
on this list since the classification was
first made. A great deal of credit
for the standing this year is due to
the hard work of the two military
officers stationed here: namely, Col.
Frank Tompknis, late of the 101st In
fantry and Major Arthur M. Edwards
U. S. Army, retired.

THE SOLDIERS CHOICE
Disabled Soldiers Express Themselves
With the Retaining Offered
by Government

WASHINGTON June 19-Disab-
led soldiers retraining with the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
believe in passing along the good
thing they have found. A young fell
low, one of the first to go to France,
came back with sharpnel wound in
his side, after having been gassed,
but he still has pluck enough left to
undertake a course in mechanical
drafting. He is so pleased with the
change in his future outlook that he
wants other wounded boys to know
and writes: 81 hope some one will
take the trouble to tell them. Tell
the people for me that those boys
ought to know about it, ought to
have chance to learn" Another
boy in speaking of his training says,
without this chance l would be up
against it."
The government stands ready to
point every soldier in the country to
a better job and those who are avail
ing themselves of the opportunity are
proving that their aim is to make
good. The soldiers approval proves
that the scheme is sound.
Any soldier who wants to know
more particulars of the plan may
write to the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education, 200 New Jersey

THRIFT SUNDAY
New England Churches Will Observe
the Day and Cooperate in the
Thrift Drive

| Next Sunday will be Thrift Sunday.
Throughout New England and the
rest of the country churches of every
denomination will cooperate with the
savings division of the Treasury De-
partment in further perpetuating the
lessons of sane living, wise spending
and safe investment. Thrift" will
be the text of the pastors. June %
is set aside to aid the National
Thrift campaign.
A message from Secretary Glass
of the Treasury Department, setting
forth the reasons why the govern
ment is fostering the spirit of thrift
as permanent American character
istic, will be received by each congre-
cation and read from the pulpit.
In a letter to the pastors of all de-
nominations, Harold Braddock, nat
ional director of the Savings Division,
states the need of assistance in this
great movement for peace-time patri-
otism. 1t reads in part:

Evelyn Gillian, one of the little
girls in the party, went to her home,
nearby, and upon learning that she
had lost a crochet hook her mother
went to the sand pit to look for it.
AS Mrs. Gillian neared the pit she
heard the screams of Leon Boutwell,
who was then clinging to the weeds
which saved his life. She Immediately
called her husband, Albert Gillian,
who rescued the little boy. Mr.. Gil
lam then learned from the frightened
children that the other boys were at
the bottom of the pond and went after
assistance. Donald Bane and Ambrose
Colcomb-brother of Thomas-who
are employed on farms near the sand
pit, helped Mr. Gillian to get the
bodies of the little boys to shore.

his oracularity, doubtless the bust
ness could be settled speedily. But
so far he has refused, and Italy, the
partner in the war that risked so
much, suffered so much, can hardly
be asked to go to war against man
who combines in his spirit Garibaldi
and Byron, and compel Italians to
accept an alien domination. Even
though Indifferent to Italy's claims,
ne should at least be able to real
ize the injury being wrought to his
own country. Various episodes
have revealed clearly growing
antagonism to the United States on
the part of nation that was
anxious for our aid and friendship.
The President has deeply wounded
Italian sensibilities, he has touched
Italian patriotism on the raw-and
all for what? This Fiume business
has been sorry mess for all the
Allies, but for us sorriest of all.

Unionists and Unionists

The compromise proposed for the
settlement of the pressmen's strike
included the item that the members
OF the local unions who went out on
an unauthorized strike should be re-
celved back into full union fellow
ship; hence, be at liberty, having
failed in their frontal attacks, to
bore" from within. To this Presi-
dent Berry of the International
Printing Pressmen's and Assistants
Union has replied:
Under no conditions will the Inter
national Printing Pressmen's and AS
sistants' Union agree to the proposi-
: ton of having the local unions in
New York City officered by men who
believe in direct action, who disre-
gard contracts and who refuse arbi-
tration as means Of adjusting indus
trial disputes. The only guarantee
for stability of the industry for the
future, as regards trade union prin-
ciples and sanity in the printing in
dustry, is for the men of the press
rooms to repudiate unqualifedly the
Bolshevist leadership responsible for
this disastrous conflict in New Yorl.
City"
Those are the words of a union
man addressing other unions. 1t is
worth while for those who are led
into an extreme anti-union attitude
to remember them. 1t is a mistake
to assume that the noisy and hasty
radical elements represent the ma
jority Of unionists. The sound men
for the most part repudiate the con-
tract breakers and the direct action
lists, and stick by the time-tried prin-
ciples and practices of sane union
ism.
The integrity of contracts, the
arbitration principle, government by
law and not by force-these things
are to the interest of labor-repre-
sent victories for the wage worker.
If they are lost or weakened through
pursuit of insensate folly, it will be
necessary for other generations of
wage workers to struggle to re-
establish them.

A Police Mystery

Traffic Patrolman Thomas A.
Mckay, stationed for eight years at
Broadway and Chambers Street,
where he performed his work eff
ciently and became known to hun
dreds of motorists, has been trans
ferred to patrol duty and assigned
to the Liberty Avenue station, in
Brownsville, by order of Commits
sioner Enright. No reason is given
by the Commissioner. When the Com
missioner denoted Daniel Costigan
from inspector to captain and dis
solved the vice squad he offered the
tardy excuse that Costigan's record
of arrests was poor, but he recanted
when faced with figures that con-
tradicted those he had given out. So
this time there is cautiously no ex-
planation.
The transfer Of a policeman from
the traffic squad to patrol duty is
mere routine in police administra-
ton, but McKay's case stands out
because he is vice-president of the
Traffic Squad Association and a
delegate to the Patrolmen's Benevo-
lent Association from Precinct A,
and is said to have spoken favorably
of Major La Guardia's candidacy
for President Of the Board Of Alder
men. Major La Guardia during the
campaign charged the Police Com
missioner with wreaking vengeance
on those whom he disfavored for
personal or political reasons. If the
Commissioner has used his power
as weapon upon Mckay either be-
cause Mckay was an advocate Of a
$4,000 minimum pay for policemen
or favorably inclined toward La
Guardia, who frankly agreed with
the policemen's and tiremen's pay
demands, the city has another de-
plorable example Of petty tyranny
that menaces police morale and
weakens lingering confidence in the
conduct of the department.
Commissioner Enrlght, in the an
nual police report, wrote some pretty
words of thanks to the Mayor about
being permitted to run the depart
ment without interference If the
Mayor had no hand in the transfer
Of Mckay, perhaps he will be will
ing to ask the Commissioner why
this policeman was assigned to other
duties and make public the reply.
He need not fear the public may
deem the matter too slight to be of
interest.

The Vanishing Gobbler
From The Detroit Free PressJ


Maybe there was time when turkeys
were plentiful at Thanksgiving, but
that was long, long ago. Now the an
nouncement that the birds are scarce
and high comes as regularly and as
inevitably as the Presidents proclama-
ton. Somehow the farmers seem TO
have lost the knack Of raising gobblers
Though grasshoppers and locusts were
peculiarly plentiful throughout the
summer. we have the glad announce
ment that this autumn the shortage
will rival the sugar scarcity, about
two-thirds of the barnyards being be-
low normal in their supplies.
This will be hard on the general
public, but good, perhaps, in individual
cases. No turkeys will be eaten lightly
or frivolously or thoughtlessly, no
bones will be thrown away while there
are still ''pickings" on them. The man
who can afford to buy bird will know
he has something to be thankful for.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-09
A Deadlock of Death

Touching the treaty two more
Htchcockisms are in the news.
The first is that the Democratic
lSreconcilables, when the resolution
to ratify the treaty with reserva-
$ions comes up for final action, will
vote against ratification. Inasmuch
hs two-thirds vote is necessary to
pass a ratifying resolution, and IN
hsmuch as the Democratic irrecon-
cilables Joined to the Republican ir-
reconcilables will doubtless be more
than one-third of the Senate, this
will mean the rejection of both the
peace treaty proper and the cove
nant.
The second Hitchcockism is q
declaration that the adoption Of the
preamble alone, which has already
occurred, is a sufficient reason for
voting against ratification.
Thus, unless there is basic
change of mind on the part of the
President and his special supporters,
the whole treaty is now as good as
rejected. No wonder the faces of
Senators Borah and Reed are
wreathed in smiles. They have been
frankly against the treaty from the
beginning. and have struggled to de-
feat it. They behold promise Of
success, and their JOY is not lessened
by the fact that the President in
practical effect has come over to
their position.
The theory that by rejecting the
treaty state of deadlock can be Gre
ated and that the deadlock will be
broken by conceding to the President
rests on wavering foundations. If
ratification is voted down once the
action is practically certain to be
final. Senator Lodge epitomized the
situation when he said the other day
that delay under such circumstances
means death.
Only by miracle could the Presi-
dent, after destroying his own work,
piece it together again. Those op-
posed to ratification at all now num-
ber close to one-third Of the Senate.
If Senator Hitchcock is successful in
CARRYING out the purpose he advo-
Gates the disgust engendered will
bring new recruits to the anti-ratifi-
cationists.
1t may be Senator Hitchcock is
merely bluffing. He has so bluffed
before. But manifestly the treaty Is
menaced as it never was menaced be-
fore, and menaced not by the oppo-
nents of the league of nations but by
those who have pretended to be it's
friends. Most remarkable will it be
If the final result is the spectacle Of
the President singing to death
scheme ON which, he has declared,
rests the hope Of the world.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-09
The Fifth Avenue Association

The Fifth Avenue Association, an
organization that during the twelve
years Of its existence has done
much to promote the interests it spe-
cially labors to safeguard, and by so
doing has greatly served the city at
large, purposes during this week to
make an energetic drive to increase
it's membership.
The association, beginning with
eighty members, has now nine hun
dred, but ten times nine hundred
could not exhaust the number Of
those who share in the benefits it
brings and who should be public
spirited enough to join themselves in
it's civic work.
The association is type Of organ
ization Of which there should be
scores. The city, because Of it's size,
suffers from the lack of a wholesome
localism-a localism which increases,
rather than diminishes, wider
civicism. The city as a whole has
consciousness, and there is a meas
ure of borough consciousness, but
other than this there is little al
legiance. A neighborhood spirit but
family exists.
There is no means Of publicity for
local affairs, for the organs of pub
licity, for space reasons if no other,
must concentrate their attention on
subjects of general city interest
Acquaintanceship runs to those in
similar lines of business or who pos
sess similar tastes without regard to
residence. Even the churches tend
to be delocalized, and only the
grammar schools bring together
those dwelling in territorial propin-
guilty. The political candidate, so
great is the fuidity Of the popula-
tion, finds it difficult to get ac-
quainted with his constituents.
So many things are neglected
which are greatly in need of atten-
tion. Nuisances creep in, pavements
are unrepaired, the city tends to
melt into an amorphous mass be-
cause there is no local public opinion
able to express itself. Only in the
nick of time was Fifth Avenue saved
from the common fate, and this
largely through the Fifth Avenue
Association.
1t scarcely need be pointed out
that proper emphasis on local inter-
ests is compatible with devotion to
general interests. Bricks are not
the enemies Of the wall which is
built of them. The Fifth Avenue
Association, besides attending to its
own affairs, called into being the
