The first two months tuition is to be
paid in advance at the evening of enroll
ment and then for one month during the
first week of each of the following ex-
cept the last month of the term. A re-
bate of third of the total amount
paid in will be given to resident students
who enrolled before Dec. 7, who attended
at least four-fifths of the sessions
throughout the whole term and fully
lived up to the rules of the school, which
are posted in each room Each student
is entitled to come to two of the four
sessions per week, as the rooms can only
accommodate one-half of the usual en-
rollment of students.

days or Wednesdays and Fridays. Clay
and plaster of paris used in connection
with some studies is furnished free of
charge, also one sheet of paper for each
drawing. Students are to bring their
own drawing instruments, etc.
A most thorough training is going to
be given to all new students. This will
enable them not only to advance more
independently in their studies, but as
workers in great variety of trades, in
which the clear understanding or making
of working drawings, diagrams and read
ing of blueprints correctly is essential.
Certificates may be given only to those
students who have gone through their re-
spective studies step by step in logical
manner and passed their tests satisfae-
torily. Thus second knowledge may be
gathered, which will not only help the
stone cutter, letter cutter, carver, mod
eler, draughtsman and designer in the
granite industry, but also skilled metal
and wood workers or those wishing to
prepare for continuing their special or
higher studies in some college.
Parents and employers of our younger

the progress that is being made by them.
Young men who recently have returned
from service are especially invited to at
tend these courses and older men need
not fnal fhav are FOO old "a on IN anU
school of this sort. They usually make
good students, because they know better
than inexperienced youths what an edu-
cation is worth to them. Even the in
structors themselves must admit that
they are gaining knowledge while they
are preparing their work to teach

VERMONT ENGINEERS MEETING
Was Addressed by State Geologist, Prof,
G. H. Perkins.

The fall meeting of the Vermont So
ciety of Engineers occurred in the recep-
tion room of the State House at Mont
pelier Friday evening, with about 40
persons attending, including the ladies
invited by the members. Prof G. H.
Perkins, state geologist, spoke for about
an hour upon the Geology of the Green
Mountain Region" He gave a very in
teresting discussion of the changes which
Vermont has passed through in the eight
geological periods. He first advised his
audience as to the condition which must
have existed in this state thousands of
years ago and the changes that must
have occurred to get the beauty the state
now possesses.
He deviated from his topic at one time
to say that in all of his travels, which
have been considerable, he has never
found so much of restful beauty as in
Vermont He came to the state in 1870
and thought at that time that the people
of the state were boastful of its attrac-
tions and now he says he is worse in
boasting about them than native YER
monters.
The speaker discussed the formation
of the four mountain ranges in Vermont
during the earlier days, the time when
Lake Champlain was salt water body
and the time when the glacier slid over
Vermont and the turning of the lime
stone in the state into marble and gran
ite and told the reasons for the changes,
He was followed by Joseph Smith of
Waterbury, who spoke upon the tale in
dustry of the state He is superintend-
ent of the Magnesia Tale company, near
Waterbury, which the party visited, leav-
ing Montpelier about 8 o'clock, after
which they went to Smugglers' Notch

ALLIES ORDER GERMANY
TO REMOVE HER TROOPS
FROM LITHUANIAN SOIL
CIVIL VAR THREAT
ALARMS ITALY
Report Current in Rome Has 1t That Ma
tionalist and Militarist Factions Will
Be Opposed by Socialists in
Fratricidal Struggle.

Rome, Thursday Sept. 25.-Alarmist
reports are current in this city, one be
ing that a civil war is imminent. On
one side would be ranged the nationalist
and militarist factions, which would be
opposed by the socialists. Several gen
erals are credited with the intention OF
heading the militarist faction with q
view to controlling the government, il
being said that they believe the weak
ness of those in power since the armistice
caused the present deadlock. Some OF
these generals have already been men
toned as being in league with Captain
Gabrielle D'Annunzio before the Fiume
raid, with the object of overthrowing by
force the Nitti cabinet and replacing it
with military dictatorship.
The navy is represented as being even
more dissatisfied than the army, having
according to naval officers statements
suffered more from "the lack of con-
sideration of their Anglo.French col
leagues, who have acted as if they were
masters of the Adriatic and have favored
Jugo.Slav claims"
Foreign Minister Tittoni is said to
have expressed the belief that the first
thing to do in the present serious situa-
tion is for the cabinet to resign. thus
eliminating one reason for discord-op-
position to men now in power II is said
his intention was the formation of q
national cabinet including all the leaders
of the chief political parties, which would
give the government the greatest possible
power under the circumstances. Premier
H. tr+ IL nas,,
nation of the cabinet would be admission
rather than culpability or weakness
which would be much worse. He added that
he naturally was ready and desirous
to be relieved of the tremendous respon-
sibilities if anyone would suggest man
better fitted to cope with terrible
crisis
Tittoni was obliged to confess during
conversation with the king, it is re-
ported, that he did not see any other
politician having the statesmanlike quail
tiles and force possessed by Nitti. Thus
the idea of resignation of the cabinet
was abandoned, but there is no prospect
as vet Of any ameloration of the gravity
Of the situation, nor is there distant
glimmer of solution for the Adriatic
problem.
WorEmen numbering approximately
100000 are now on strike, and dissatis-
faction is growing everywhere at the
constantly increasing cost of living. II
is impossible for the government to call
any men to the cOlors, especially after
having recently pardoned all deserters
under the proclamation of amnesty.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
official socialists to reach an understand
ing between the workmen and soldiers
They are urging the latter to refuse to
obey either their officers or the govern
ment, and they thus hope to organize in
Italy workmen's and soldiers commit
tees, which would lead to the formation
of soyiets and an upheayal Of the whole
social order.

APPEALS TO FRENCH.
D'Annunzio Points Out What "We Have
Done Under Protection Of Our God"

Paris, Sept. 27. Captain Gabrielle
D'Annunzio has written an appeal to the
French which is printed to-day by the
Excelsior 1t begins;
'Brothers Of France: You know what
we have done under the inspiration and
ian of the towns of Istria, to-day more
italian than Verona and Perugia, was
lost to us under the menace of pro-
fanations and violations"
DAnnunzo adds that: Though i'll in
bed, he rose and under the influence Of
spirit" with his comrades took possession
of territory, some ships and part of
the line of the armistice in few hours
He declares soldiers sent against him
have come over to his side with their
arms.
