POPULARITY" OF AMERICA
BY w. Y. MORGAN

wv. Y. Morgan writes to the
Hutchinson News from Parts these
ideas on how America is doing
abroad)
One OF the weaknesses OF Ameri-
cans is a desire to be popular. am
not conceding that we are much
worse on this point than some other
folks but the trait sticks out very
prominently In our character. am
quite sure that as many Americans
think of the sacrifice OF life ana the
great expenditures Of money In the
last two years they console them
selves with the thought that Europe
and the world must be greatly i'm
messed and that the Allies and as
soclates must say GOD Bless the
Americans" every night before they
go to sleep.
As a matter of fact while the big
appropriations and loans and our
fine army are very evident to these
friends of ours. they are apt to think
that we have only spent an un-
needed trifle of our wealth, and to
regard our army as present burden
to them. / have seen, in the lass
eight months American popularity go
down in Europe without an apparent
cause, but down for sure. Our large
loans and gifts which enabled the AL
lies to equip their armies are not ex-
actly forgotten, but they are accept
cd AZ matter Of small concern, just
as the American towns which re-
reiyed libraries and fine buildings
from Carnegie, never felt any person
al gratitude to Andrew. The public
felt that Carnegie was merely getting
rid of a surplus which he had never
earned and passed resolutions OF
thanks to him and then wondered
what he would do with the rest
Europe has an idea that the United
States is rich without labor and while
the governments of the countries toI
which we loaned or donated millions
and billions of dollars, sent hand
somely written letters of thanks, theI
people took the money as If they
had found it and spent 1t without
a thought that 1t meant taxes to poor
people in America
do not know for sure the reasons
why we have become only negative
" popular or were unpopular Prob
ably the long delay in the peace ne
gotiations, which are usually laid at
orr door because of our insistencel
on including other matters, has had
a bad effect. The plain common peo-
ple of Europe wanted quick peacel
and a return to business. Even yet
in France military regulations and
control prevent a resumption OIL
general industry. You have no idea
how the people of Europe yearned
for a final treaty all the winter and
spring-and now into the summer
The censorship prevented their
learning what was going on. APP
parently the four big nations were
arranging for the government Of the
little nations. Our small allies were
not consulted, and you know how
that makes people feel, even if in
the end they get all they deserve.

partial financial reimbursement for

No decision in the reduction of

meeting of traffic officials held in

The complaint under discussion
was that public improvements and

be mitigated somewhat by a redue-

British Airship Makes
Record for Long Flight

London, March 22-(Via Mont
reaD-The first account now is off,
eially published of remarkable long
distance flight over the North sea
which was performed by a British
nonrigid airship, the U. Sill, during
the last few days. The voyage took
the form of a circuit, embracing the
coast OF Denmark, Schleswig- Hol-
stein, Helogland, north Germany and
Holland. The trip was characterized
by extremely unfavorable weather
and therefore is regarded as rank
ing as perhaps the most notable
flight of the kind ever taken.
The total length Of the round trip
was 1885 air miles and the time TAX
en- was about 40H hours.

Japanese Delegates
Deny Reports Of Threat
to Quit Conference

=. Paris, March 1.-THE Japanese
delegates to the peace conference
declare that at no time have they
made any threat to break away from
the conference If certain claims of
Japan were not recognized.
Some concern has been aroused in
the delegation by reports printed
here of the speech recently delivered
by Viscount Ishii, the Japanese am
bassador to the United States, in
New York City. to the effect that
the ambassador had stated in this
speech that Japan would withdraw
from the conference if recognition
were not given her claim for equal
treatment of the citizens of all ma
tons members of the league of ma
tons.
Cabled copies Of Ambassador
Ishii's speech have since been re-
ceived by the delegation, however,
showing no such declaration by the
ambassador as had been reported,
and relieving the concern of the
delegation.

EXTRA SESSION
OF CONGRESS- IS
EXPECTED IN May
Washington UnofficiaIIy Con-
firms Report That Both
Houses Will Assemble
for Special Duties.

Paris March 22.-(By Associated
Press.)--A special session Of both
houses of the American congress
probably will be called to assemble
about the middle of May, the date
when President Wilson hopes to re-
turn to the United States.
1t is possible that if the treaty of
peace is sufficiently, advanced to
warrant such a course, special ses-
sion of the senate may be called
even earlier to afford it opportunity
to deal with this subject before be-
ing called upon to direct its atten-
ton to other important matters,
chief Of which will be financial af-
fairs.
If the situation appears to him
TO demand such action, it is not
unlikely that shortly after his re-
turn from Europe he will make an
extended speaking tour presenting
his view OF the issue directly to the
voters in the states whose senator's
are opposed to the ratification of
the league of nations plan.
Washington, March 22.--It was
said unofficially at the White House
Today that President Wilson might
return to the United States by May
!, leaving Paris Immediately after
reaching an agreement on the prin-
cipal features Of the peace treaty,
without waiting for the actual sign
ing of the document.
An extra session OF congress not
later than May IS now is regarded
as certainty among officials and
eaders in congress. and if the presi-
dent is able to return as early as
May l, both houses may be called
4 to meet very shortly after that date.

MORE PAY FOR TEACHERS
Fifty Per Cent Increase Recommended

Burlington, Dec. lS--lt was the
general sentiment of the $50 schoo
directors and superintendent from al
over Vermont assembled in Burling-
ton today that Vermont school teach
ers should have raise in salaries 70
meet the high cost of living prevalent
during the last year, but just how
much Of a raise was question upon
which there was much difference OF
opinion, especially between the largts
towns and cities of the state on the
one hand, the rural communities on
the other. After failing to put
through resolution to the effect that
the minimum salary of a Vermont
teacher in rural districts and graded
schools ought to be $500, and that
minimum salaries in high schools
throughout the state ought to be
$1,000, the conference finally compro-
missed on resolution submitted by
Commissioner N. b. Hillcgas which
provided that there should be gen.
eral increase in the salaries of teach
ers in the state Of at least so per cent
of salaries as they existed in 1916 be-
fore the United States entered the

THE CONTROL OF CON-
MuNICABLE DISEASES

BY an act passed by the last legis-
lature it is required that whenever q
physician is called upon to attend any
case of any disease dangerous to the
public health, he is required to serve a
quarantine notice upon the head Of tho
family in accordance with the forms
prescribed and furnished by the State
Board of Health. He is also required
to place on the house a placard bear
ing the name Of the disease.
Whenever case Of communicable
disease occurs in a family, and no
physician is in attendance, the head Of
the family is required to report the
facts to the district health officer in
regard to the disease, which he sus-
poets to be in his family. In this
case, the district health officer will
issue the quarantine notice.
Under the regulation Of the State
Board of Health, school teachers are
required to report to the district
health officer all cases Of contagious
disease occurring among their pupils
which may come to their notice, or in
families from which their pupils come.
The law provides a penalty Of from
ten to one hundred dollars for failure
Of physicians, parents or teachers to
comply with this regulation.
The district health officer is also a
federal government official, being con-
nected with the United States Public
Health Service, and desires to cooper
ate with the public in every way pos
sible. Under this arrangement frank
ed envelopes will be distributed to all
physicians and teachers for the pur-
pose of making reports to health Of
ficers, no postage being required for
these reports.
1t should be remembered that more
deaths occur in Vermont every year
from measles than from diphtheria
and scarlet fever combined, and the
same statement is true Of whooping
,ough.

CONCRETE ROADS REDUCE
HIGH COST OF LIVING

The industrial development of oul
country has progressed SO rapidly
within the last few years that the cost
of living now depends to very large
extent upon our ability to distribute
food and supplies cheaply and quickly
For several years the cost of trans
portation has been increasing while
shipping facilities have not kept pace
with increased production of the farm,
factroy and mine.
The construction Of an extensive
system of permanent roads will be a
great benefit in reducing the cost Of
transportation and insuring the rapid
delivery Of food and manufactured
products from producer to consumer.
Concrete roads link center Of supply
with center Of population and the re-
sulting low cost Of delivery lowers the
cost of food, coal or manufactured
products TO the consumer.
These roads make possible the
transportation Of a large tonnage of
merchandise, by motor truck, to all
parts of the country, 365 days in the
year.
The farmer can market his crops
in season and is not compelled 10 wait
until the roads become passable in
order to make deliveries direct 10

THE NEW THRIFT ARMY
Nearly 100000 New England Women
Have Joined the Ranks

st. Adams, Dec. 20--The old high
cost of living which today seems to be
pounding along with steam roller force
despite the hcralded opposition will
soon bring up against stone wall
here in New England when one million
women, members Of the newly or
ganized thrift army, will start an in
tensive fight to reduce high prices in
this district.
Although the ranks of this thrift
army have practically been filled, new
volunteers are being added daily. The
work Of mobilizing this army is being
done by the state directors of the
various womcn's organizations under
the supervision of Mrs. Myra B. Lord
Of the Savings Division, First FEDERAL
Reserve District.
Mrs. Lord. who has just completed
tour Of the various states, says she
feels assured that the majority of
women in New England now realize
that one Of the best ways to reduce
the present high cost of living is to
practice thrift

PROBABILITY or NO

tion for Authorized Central Schssa.
According to NJ. b. Hillegas. State
Superintendent 81 Education, there u
more than possibility that Vermont
will be without normal school next
year, unless something turns up thai
will alter the situation. The schools
at johnson and Castleton mast be
closed in August, in the opinion OF the
attorney general, and no other place
for a school has been selected. While
the Legislature authorized the estab-
lishment of central normal school, II
provided no money to build or operate
one, and no private donations seem
Forthcoming for such cause.
There has been falling of in the
demand for normal school education OF
about 20 per cent this year, and there
are at present only about SO students
in the normal schools. The reason for
this is that the salaries of teachers are
SO low that there are no attractions IN
that profession. Pupils who attend
schools can 90 right out into business
and earn more than those who taught
them. The last bulletin issued by the
government shows decrease in the
number training to be teachers o.
about i5 to 20 per cent, and that IS
Just about the rate in Vermont.
When asked regarding the DISPOSE
ton of the schools which are to be dis
continued next August, Mr.. Hillegas
stated that while the State Board OF
Education had been at work on TINS
proposition, there was absolutely moth
ing to report at this time. No plans
have been made for the disposition Of
the buildings and no plans have been
decided on as what can be done Tor the
training of teachers. Even the sub
iect Of the customary summer training
schools has not been gone into with
any result.
The central training school for
teachers will be difficult thing toI
finance unless some individuals give
money, for, while the Carnegie Foun-
dation gives money to educational in
it usually takes up institu-
tons financed by individuals and not
State institutions.
