True enough, there have been many instances of in

are still there.
Manufacturers whose goods have been priced on
actual produce plus normal profit have in

American cotton, while ruined
typewriters, broken sc wi &
machines, rusty farm Implements
are scattered all about. The
breakdown of the French rail
ways is responsible for the port
congestion and the spectators
to whom the goods were con-
signed have been unable to move
them. No one wastes tears over
the spectators losses, but 1t
seems a shame that foodstuifs
and supplies for which there is
great need both in France and in
America cannot be saved from
such wanton waste. America
at least should see that this
country is drained of no more
commodities that are likely to be
added to the piles or rotting
merchandise in French ports.

SCHOOLSSURE
Close Today With Outlook for
the Fall Far From Pleasant
Due to Increase of Students

The public schools of the city
closed at noon today for the sum-
mer vacation, and will reopen Sep

One of the most serious problems
of the school authorities report Is
finding room for the great increase
in the number of students. In the
grammar school. where most of the
complications have arisen, there 10

yesterday have brought 2.075 into
the school. Forty of these can be
taken care of In a room at No.
school. for the remainder some, other
arrangements not yet decided upon
will have to be made by the open.
ing of the school In the Fall.
This condition Is brought about
because of the building conditions In
the past few years. For over three
years there have been no additions
or new buildings put up for the
school departments, the school COM
mission points out, and with the in
creasing number of students the
present condition has been brought
about.
