''It Can't Be DOne!''

When our boys started for the
German lines they met the most ter
rifle hell fire, the world has ever
known.
These boys went through that fire
and captured the lines, one after an
other. They did it by doing "the
things that can't be DONE"
When the transportation problem
of getting our troops to Europe faced
the combined councils of Britain,
France and the United States, it was
an apparently impossible task.
But that job was putthrough by
the men in the army, the merchant
marine and the transportation service
doing "the things that can't be done. "
The prompt and effective housing
and supplying of our soldiers in
France, the construction of depots
and transportation lines, the equip
ments of ports for quick handling of
ships, presented to the American lead
ers a program which for the size and
the speed demanded had never been
known or attempted in the history of
the world.
That program was carried through
successfully, BECAUSE our engineers
and workmen did "the things that
can't be done"
The American shipbuilding plants
under the pressure of wars demands
have turned out bigger ships in less
time than has ever been known.
This was accomplished by the man
ayers and the workers doing "the
things that can't be DONE"
These markers in the progress of
our country during the war are shin
ing marks that set the pace, the new
American standard.
Facing the problems of peace, the
people of st. Johnsbury find that in
order to uphold their position in the
forward march of commerce and So
ciety they must take a new hold,
move with greater speed, think on
broader lines, act with more virile en-
ergy, drive with intelligent enthus-
iasm. They must do "the things that
can't be done"
The test is here and now for all OF
us.
Little men will whine and complain
that it has never been done.
Men of Vermont, who believe
selves outside the ranks of civic
slackers, men who appreciate what
has been done for them-and what
is their M consequent responsibility
those. Menz wAl1get together, move
forward, steadily and fearlessly
they will do "the things that cam
be DONE"
One of them will endeavor to run
a daily newspaper.

Action of the Board.

The resolution calling for the estab-
lishment of the council was adopted
al special conference of the board
of education yesterday afternoon.
Publication of the resolution did not
take the teachers by surprise, for it
developed today that they were aware
for some time of the boards plan to
establish teachers council.
The rules of the school board gov
erning the council provide that the
delegates representing each group of
teachers shall be chosen at meetings
open to all teachers in the respective
groups. This means that both union
and non-union teachers will sit in the
same meetings when the delegates to
the council are being elected.
Officials of the white unions of the
Grade, and high schools are under
stood to be of the opinion, however,
that they have enough members to
rake it reasonably certain that they
will be well represented in the
council

TENSAL|ENT POINTS NAMED BY WILSON
 IN APPROVAL PLEA

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILL SONS SPECIAL TRAIN, Sept. 10.- Ten points in the peace treaty were defined by President Wilson as the fundamental principles on which he is asking it's acceptance by the United States.
 Riding westward into Montana at the end of the first week of his speech making tour the president made no stop for a night address but instead made known through the newspaper correspondents the platform he desires to place before the people in his plea for the treaty's acceptance. A few hours earlier h0 had told a crowd at Mandan. North Dakota, that his week of travel had convinced him that the people were for the treaty.
 The ten points in which he epito- mixes the treaty provisions are as fol- lows:
 One-The distribution of autocratic power as an instrument of internation- al control admitting only self-govern- ing nations to the league.
 Two-The substitution of publicity discussion and arbitration for war us ing the boycott rather than arms.
 Three-Placing the peace of the world under constant international oversight in recognition of the prin- ciple that the peace of the world is the legitimate immediate interest of every state.

 T. The United States reserves to itself the unconditional right to with draw from the league of nations upon the notice provided in Article 1, of said treaty of peace with Germany.
 rThe provision in the league eoven- ant for withdrawal declares that any member may withdraw provided it has fulfilled all it's international obligations and all it's obligations under the coven- ant There has been much dispute as to who would decide if the question of the fulfillment of obligations was raised and it is very generally thought that this question would be settled by the council of the league of nations. The best that can be said about is that the question of decisoiH is clouded with doubt. On such a point as this tt.ere must be no doubt. The United States which has never broken an interna- tional obligation, cannot permit all its existing treaties to be reviewed and it's conduct and honor questioned by other nations. The same may be said in re- gard to the fulfillment of the obliga- tions to the league. It must be made perfectly clear that the United States alone is to determine as to the fulfill ment of it's obligations, and it's right Of

GRAND JURY TO PROBE GAMING
 STARTS WORK
Court Instructs Body to Dis regard Politics - First Day Spent in Investigat- ing County Institutions

Investigation of the county institu- tions marked the first days session of the Maricopa county grand jury which was sworn in at s:s0 o'clock yester- day morning, Judge Stanford appoint ing L. L. Plank as foreman.
 Immediately after. retiring to the county library where the sessions will be held, committees were named and detailed to investigate the county jail detention home, poor farm, tubercular hospital state asylum and Florence Crittenden home. Reports were made last evening, but will not be returned until the close of the session when a complete report will be filed with the court.
 The business will be speedily dis patched, declared the business men and farmers who are serving. They promise, however, not to overlook any matter brought to their attention, and it is known fact that the local gamgling situation will occupy a part of the session which will last at least a week, it is said.
 Many Excuses Fail
 Many of those now serving asked to be excused, but Judge Stanford entertained excuses only wnere there was absolute need of mans presence at home because of illness. Business was not permitted to serve as a req son for absence from jury duty. Those finally selected were:
 L. l.. Plank, H. W. Bergman, Daniel R. Owen. Ira C. Battles, w. L. Cook A. T. Esgate, Earl T. Culvert, F. W Downing, J. A. Liggett, H. F. Young H. w. Chambers, Alonzo H. Mitchell Myron Bullock, W. M. Cross, c. G Smith, A. H. Marshall, Oscar D. Fulton D. A. Openshaw, Leo Troutman, E. M Harris and G. w. Lines.
 The court charged the jury not tc divulge what transpired in the grand jury room, placing special stress or the necessity of secrecy.
 ''The action of the jury must DC secret or it will avail nothing" saii Judge Stanford as he outlined thu broad scope of the jury and the cleansing effect of such an investiga. tion."
 To Overlook None, is Charge
 The very fact that the jury had beer called had a wholesome effect on ths county, he asserted, and advised the men not to be influenced by politica feeling or malice in any of their ac- tions. Personal feeling should not entel into their work for the county, he de clared. as he instructed the jury, stat ing that it's purpose was to investigate all public offenses. He also pointed out that the county institutions anc the state asylum where there are many county charges came within the pro. vince of the iury's investigation.
