Herbert c. Hoover, food administra-
tor for the allies during part OF the
crucial period Of the war, is authority
for the statement that the action OF the
allies in raising the blockade against
Russia is one Of the best moves which
could have been made inasmuch as the
bolsheviki have been enabled to con-
tinue warfare on the ground that the
allies were in league against Russia
and that it was the solemn duty of the
bolsheviki to lead the people of Russia
out of the entangling net, Hoover says
that the bolsheviki have been able to
convince large number of Russian peo-
pie that Russia's present depression is
due entirely TO the action of the allies
and he adds that if the reason for adj
yancing such propaganda is removed
Russia will begin to get back on her
feet. 1t is worth trying out at any
rate.

By refusing to elect Clemenceau as
president of the French republic, the
people of France gave evidence OF their
belief that the time was no longer ripe
for a bull in the china closet but for a
diplomat of skill and tact. Clemenceau
will remain as the grand old man OF
the war period of France, a man whose
fire and zeal was just what was needed
to pull France through the crucial pc
Rod of the war but man who was not
lust suited to the delicate task OF get
ting back into normal relations with
other countries. To be sure, the pres
ident of France has not exercised a
very potent influence during the past
six years, but that lack of influence
was due as much to the reserve and
lack of inclination of the president
Poincare, as anything else. Because
OF Poincare's natural bent, it devolved
upon the premier, Clemenceau, TO bear
the brunt of the work. Ii may be
somewhat different now with Deschanel
in the presidents chair.

BARRE TEACHERS SALARIES.

The attention of the voters of Barre
is called to the city meeting TO be held
in the opera house Tuesday evening OF
this week to consider the salaries paid
the public school teachers of Barre and,
If affirmative action is taken toward
. raising those wages, to consider ways
and means for securing the money
deemed necessary to give the teachers
adequate compensation. The Times be-
lieves that the teaching profession in
Vermont, and in Barre, has not kept
pace either with many Of the other &C.
equations or with the cost of living
during the period covered by the world
war. Not being commensurate, at the
outset, with the service rendered, the
salaries have fallen still further behind
as the prices Of commodities have risen
until at the present time the money
received by the teachers in every com
munity of the state is not sufficient TO
give them a reasonable living wage.
The movement toward remedying such
a condition is quite general throughout
the state, although definite action has
as yet taken effect in few communities;
and whatever action the voters of Barre
will take win be only in line with such
a movement in practically all the cities
and towns of Vermont Barre cannot
afford to be niggardly with its school
teachers. Voters, therefore, are urged
to attend the city meeting Tuesday
evening and take favorable action on
raising the salaries.

ROBERTS COLLEGE
EXERCISES UNIQUE
Orators Spoke in Six Languages at
Commencement Exercises of
Famous School.

Constantinople, July 10.-(By mail.)
The worlds record for the number
of languages used in its commence
ment exercises will probably go to
Robert College this year. Orations
were delivered in six tongues and, at
that, the program was less polygot
than it used to be before the war.
Each Of the orators spoke his native
tongue. according to the traditions of
the American school established 81
wears ago The school has American
standards and ideals and a majority OF
its teachers are Americans, but Its
aim is to educate men for service to
their own countries, rather than in
English speaking countries.
Armenian, Turkish. Greek, French
Bulgarian and English were the Ian
guages used by the orators and the
chapel of the college was filled with
cosmopolitan crowd typical OF Con-
stantinople's intellecturals. AT the
very time Admiral Bristol, the Amer
lean High Commissioner, was advising
the 80 graduates to devote their lives
to a lessening of the racial and relig-
ious hatreds of the Lavant, war was
going on at four distinct fronts in the
Turkish empire, the British French
Greeks and Armen.ans all being en-
gagged in the conflict with the Turkish
nationalists.
The band of the Second Battalion
British Cheshire Regiments, which is
guarding Constantinople from Nation
alist attacks, played for commence
ment and warships of the Allied pow
ers lay in the Bosphorus at the foot
of the heights on which Robert College
stands.
About the same time the Constan-
tinople College for Women, announcer
American institution, held it's COM
mencement exercises. Two Turkish
girls were among the % young women
graduated this year from it. The col
iege is notable for having managed TO
keep it's work going throughout the
war and for having kept peace among
its students from IL nations, most OF
which were fighting either with or
against America. The two Turkish
graduates wore the same black acad-
emic gown as their classmates, but IN
stead of the mortarboard cap wore
white wells draped about their hair.

ferred the degree of bachelor of arts

The Hague, Aug. 10.-Troops have
been sent to both the German and the
Dutch governments to the little village
of Dinxperfoo, which is situated partly
on Dutch and partly on German terri
tory. in order to put an end to the
elandestine trade thriving there which,
in the past few weeks, has assumed
such proportions that the local au-

could only get at home at higher prices

the Dutch sellers. Trains coming from
the Ruhr and Rhine districts were so
full that it was impossible for the rail-
way officials to examine all the tickets
and many persons had free rides.
